1 صَمُوئيل 1
| كَانَ رَجُلٌ أَفْرَايِمِيٌّ اسْمُهُ أَلْقَانَةُ بْنُ يَرُوحَامَ بْنِ أَلِيهُوَ بْنِ تُوحُوَ بْنِ صُوفٍ، يُقِيمُ فِي رَامَتَايِمَ صُوفيِمَ مِنْ جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ. | ١ 1 |
Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim Zophim, of the hill country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
| وَكَانَ مُتَزَوِّجاً مِنِ امْرَأَتَيْنِ هُمَا حَنَّةُ وَفَنِنَّةُ. وَكَانَ لِفَنِنَّةَ أَوْلادٌ؛ أَمَّا حَنَّةُ فَكَانَتْ عَاقِراً. | ٢ 2 |
He had two wives. The name of one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
| وَكَانَ مِنْ عَادَةِ أَلْقَانَةَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ مِنْ مَدِينَتِهِ مَعَ عَائِلَتِهِ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ ليَسْجُدَ وَيُقَدِّمَ ذَبَائِحَ لِلرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ فِي شِيلُوهَ، وَكَانَ حُفْنِي وَفِينْحَاسُ ابْنَا عَالِي كَاهِنَيْنِ لِلرَّبِّ فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ. | ٣ 3 |
This man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of Armies in Shiloh. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests to the LORD, were there.
| وَحِينَ يَأْتِي وَقْتُ تَقْدِيمِ الذَّبِيحَةِ كَانَ أَلْقَانَةُ يُعْطِي فَنِنَّةَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَجَمِيعَ أَبْنَائِهَا وَبَنَاتِهَا نَصِيباً وَاحِداً لِكُلٍّ مِنْهُمْ. | ٤ 4 |
When the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and her daughters;
| أَمَّا حَنَّةُ فَكَانَ يُعْطِيهَا نَصِيبَ اثْنَيْنِ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ يُحِبُّهَا. غَيْرَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ جَعَلَهَا عَاقِراً. | ٥ 5 |
but he gave a double portion to Hannah, for he loved Hannah, but the LORD had shut up her womb.
| فَكَانَتْ ضَرَّتُهَا، حُبّاً فِي إِغَاظَتِهَا، تُعَيِّرُهَا لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ جَعَلَهَا عَاقِراً. | ٦ 6 |
Her rival provoked her severely, to irritate her, because the LORD had shut up her womb.
| وَثَابَرَتْ عَلَى إِثَارَةِ غَيْظِهَا سَنَةً بَعْدَ سَنَةٍ كُلَّمَا ذَهَبَتْ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ. فَبَكَتْ حَنَّةُ وَامْتَنَعَتْ عَنِ الأَكْلِ. | ٧ 7 |
So year by year, when she went up to the LORD’s house, her rival provoked her. Therefore she wept, and didn’t eat.
| فَسَأَلَهَا أَلْقَانَةُ زَوْجُهَا: «يَا حَنَّةُ، لِمَاذَا تَبْكِينَ؟ وَلِمَاذَا تَمْتَنِعِينَ عَنِ الأَكْلِ؟ وَلِمَاذَا يَكْتَئِبُ قَلْبُكِ؟ أَلَسْتُ أَنَا خَيْراً لَكِ مِنْ عَشَرَةِ بَنِينَ؟». | ٨ 8 |
Elkanah her husband said to her, “Hannah, why do you weep? Why don’t you eat? Why is your heart grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”
| وَذَاتَ مَرَّةٍ بَعْدَ أَنْ فَرَغُوا مِنْ تَنَاوُلِ الطَّعَامِ فِي شِيلُوهَ، وَفِيمَا كَانَ عَالِي الْكَاهِنُ جَالِساً عَلَى الْكُرْسِيِّ عِنْدَ قَائِمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الرَّبِّ، قَامَتْ حَنَّةُ | ٩ 9 |
So Hannah rose up after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on his seat by the doorpost of the LORD’s temple.
| بِنَفْسٍ مُرَّةٍ وَصَلَّتْ إِلَى الرَّبِّ وَبَكَتْ بِحُرْقَةٍ، | ١٠ 10 |
She was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD, weeping bitterly.
| وَنَذَرَتْ نَذْراً لِلرَّبِّ قَائِلَةً: «يَا رَبَّ الْجُنُودِ، إِنْ عَطَفْتَ عَلَى مَذَلَّةِ أَمَتِكَ، وَذَكَرْتَنِي وَلَمْ تَنْسَنِي، بَلْ وَهَبْتَ أَمَتَكَ ذُرِّيَّةً، فَإِنَّنِي أُعْطِيهِ لِلرَّبِّ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ، وَلَنْ أَحْلِقَ رَأْسَهُ». | ١١ 11 |
She vowed a vow, and said, “LORD of Armies, if you will indeed look at the affliction of your servant and remember me, and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a boy, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall come on his head.”
| وَأَطَالَتْ حَنَّةُ صَلاتَهَا أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ بَيْنَمَا كَانَ عَالِي يُرَاقِبُ حَرَكَةَ شَفَتَيْهَا. | ١٢ 12 |
As she continued praying before the LORD, Eli saw her mouth.
| فَإِنَّ حَنَّةَ كَانَتْ تُصَلِّي فِي قَلْبِهَا وَلا يَتَحَرَّكُ مِنْهَا سِوَى شَفَتَيْهَا، مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَصْدُرَ عَنْهُمَا صَوْتٌ، فَظَنَّ عَالِي أَنَّهَا سَكْرَى. | ١٣ 13 |
Now Hannah spoke in her heart. Only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk.
| فَقَالَ لَهَا عَالِي: «إِلَى مَتَى تَظَلِّينَ سَكْرَى؟ كُفِّي عَنْ شُرْبِ الْخَمْرِ» | ١٤ 14 |
Eli said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Get rid of your wine!”
| فَأَجَابَتْهُ: «لا يَا سَيِّدِي: إِنَّنِي امْرَأَةٌ حَزِينَةُ الرُّوحِ، لَمْ أَشْرَبْ خَمْراً وَلا مُسْكِراً، بَلْ أَسْكُبُ نَفْسِي أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ. | ١٥ 15 |
Hannah answered, “No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have not been drinking wine or strong drink, but I poured out my soul before the LORD.
| لَا تَظُنَّ أَمَتَكَ ابْنَةَ بَلِيَّعَالَ، فَإِنَّنِي مِنْ فَرْطِ كُرْبَتِي وَغَيْظِي قَدْ أَطَلْتُ صَلاتِي إِلَى الآنَ». | ١٦ 16 |
Don’t consider your servant a wicked woman; for I have been speaking out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation.”
| فَقَالَ لَهَا عَالِي: «اذْهَبِي بِسَلامٍ، وَلْيُعْطِكِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَا طَلَبْتِهِ مِنْ لَدُنْهِ». | ١٧ 17 |
Then Eli answered, “Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of him.”
| فَقَالَتْ: «لَيْتَ أَمَتَكَ تَحْظَى بِرِضَاكَ». ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَتْ فِي سَبِيلِهَا وَأَكَلَتْ، وَلَمْ تَعُدْ أَمَارَاتُ الْحُزْنِ تَكْسُو وَجْهَهَا. | ١٨ 18 |
She said, “Let your servant find favour in your sight.” So the woman went her way and ate; and her facial expression wasn’t sad any more.
| وَفِي الصَّبَاحِ التَّالِي بَكَّرُوا بِالنُّهُوضِ وَسَجَدُوا أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، ثُمَّ عَادُوا إِلَى بَيْتِهِمْ فِي الرَّامَةِ. وَعَاشَرَ أَلْقَانَةُ زَوْجَتَهُ حَنَّةَ، وَاسْتَجَابَ الرَّبُّ دُعَاءَهَا. | ١٩ 19 |
They rose up in the morning early and worshipped the LORD, then returned and came to their house to Ramah. Then Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.
| وَفِي غُضُونِ سَنَةٍ حَبِلَتْ حَنَّةُ وَأَنْجَبَتِ ابْناً دَعَتْهُ صَمُوئِيلَ قَائِلَةً: «لأَنِّي سَأَلْتُهُ مِنَ الرَّبِّ». | ٢٠ 20 |
When the time had come, Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she named him Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked him of the LORD.”
| وَفِي مَوْعِدِ الذَّبِيحَةِ السَّنَوِيَّةِ مِنَ الْعَامِ التَّالِي، ذَهَبَ أَلْقَانَةُ وَأُسْرَتُهُ لِلْعِبَادَةِ. | ٢١ 21 |
The man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice and his vow.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ حَنَّةَ تَخَلَّفَتْ عَنْهُمْ قَائِلَةً لِزَوْجِهَا: «سَأَنْتَظِرُ حَتَّى أَفْطِمَ الصَّبِيَّ، ثُمَّ آخُذُهُ لِيَمْثُلَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، وَأَتْرُكُهُ هُنَاكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ». | ٢٢ 22 |
But Hannah didn’t go up, for she said to her husband, “Not until the child is weaned; then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and stay there forever.”
| فَأَجَابَهَا أَلْقَانَةُ: «افْعَلِي مَا يَحْلُو لَكِ، وَامْكُثِي حَتَّى تَفْطِمِيهِ، وَيَكْفِينَا أَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَفِي بِمَا وَعَدَ بِهِ». فَمَكَثَتْ حَنَّةُ فِي بَيْتِهَا تُرْضِعُ ابْنَهَا إِلَى أَنْ فَطَمَتْهُ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Elkanah her husband said to her, “Do what seems good to you. Wait until you have weaned him; only may the LORD establish his word.” So the woman waited and nursed her son until she weaned him.
| ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَتْ بِالصَّبِيِّ، عَلَى الرَّغْمِ مِنْ صِغَرِ سِنِّهِ، إِلَى الرَّبِّ فِي شِيلُوهَ، وَمَعَهَا ثَلاثَةُ ثِيرَانٍ وَإِيفَةُ دَقِيقٍ (نَحْوَ أَرْبَعَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ لِتْراً) وَزِقُّ خَمْرٍ. | ٢٤ 24 |
When she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls, and one ephah of meal, and a container of wine, and brought him to the LORD’s house in Shiloh. The child was young.
| وَبَعْدَ أَنْ ذَبَحُوا الثَّوْرَ حَمَلُوا الصَّبِيَّ إِلَى عَالِي، | ٢٥ 25 |
They killed the bull, and brought the child to Eli.
| وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «لِتَحْيَ نَفْسُكَ يَا سَيِّدِي، أَنَا الْمَرْأَةُ الَّتِي مَثَلَتْ لَدَيْكَ هُنَا تُصَلِّي إِلَى الرَّبِّ، | ٢٦ 26 |
She said, “Oh, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to the LORD.
| مُتَضَرِّعَةً إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يُعْطِيَنِي هَذَا الصَّبِيَّ، فاسْتَجَابَ الرَّبُّ دُعَائِي الَّذِي رَفَعْتُهُ إِلَيْهِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
I prayed for this child, and the LORD has given me my petition which I asked of him.
| لِذَلِكَ أَنَا أَهَبُهُ لِلرَّبِّ جَمِيعَ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ». وَسَجَدُوا هُنَاكَ لِلرَّبِّ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Therefore I have also given him to the LORD. As long as he lives he is given to the LORD.” He worshipped the LORD there.
