1 Samuelova 1

1 Bio jedan čovjek iz Ramatajima, Sufovac iz Efrajimove gore, po imenu Elkana, sin Jerohama, sina Elihua, sina Tohua, sina Sufova, Efrajimljanin.

And there is a certain man of Ramathaim-Zophim, of the hill-country of Ephraim, and his name [is] Elkanah, son of Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, an Ephraimite,

2 Imao je dvije žene: ime jednoj bijaše Ana, a drugoj bijaše ime Penina. Penina je imala djece, a Ana ih nije imala.

and he has two wives, the name of the first [is] Hannah, and the name of the second Peninnah, and Peninnah has children, and Hannah has no children.

3 Taj je čovjek svake godine uzlazio iz svoga grada da se pokloni i prinese žrtvu Jahvi Sebaotu u Šilu. Ondje su bila dva sina Elijeva, Hofni i Pinhas, kao svećenici Jahvini.

And that man has gone up out of his city from time to time, to bow himself, and to sacrifice, before YHWH of Hosts, in Shiloh, and there [are] two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests of YHWH.

4 Jednoga dana Elkana prinese žrtvu. On je obično svojoj ženi Penini i svim njezinim sinovima i kćerima davao više žrtvenih dijelova,

And the day comes, and Elkanah sacrifices, and he has given portions to his wife Peninnah, and to all her sons and her daughters,

5 a Ani je davao samo jedan dio, premda je više ljubio Anu, ali Jahve joj ne bijaše dao od srca poroda.

and he gives a certain portion to Hannah—double, for he has loved Hannah, and YHWH has shut her womb;

6 Uz to joj je suparnica njezina zanovijetala da je ponizi što joj Jahve ne bijaše dao od srca poroda.

and her rival has also provoked her greatly, so as to make her tremble, for YHWH has shut up her womb.

7 Tako je bivalo svake godine kad god bi polazili u Dom Jahvin: Penina je zanovijetala Ani. Ana je stoga plakala i nije htjela jesti.

And so is done year by year, from the time of her going up into the house of YHWH, so she provokes her, and she weeps, and does not eat.

8 Tada joj reče Elkana, njezin muž: “Zašto plačeš, Ana? I zašto ne jedeš? Zašto ti je srce rastuženo? Nisam li ti ja vredniji nego deset sinova?”

And her husband Elkanah says to her, “Hannah, why do you weep? And why do you not eat? And why is your heart afflicted? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”

9 Ali Ana ustade, pošto su jeli i pili u sobi, i stupi pred Jahvu - a svećenik Eli sjeđaše na stolici na pragu svetišta Jahvina.

And Hannah rises after eating in Shiloh, and after drinking, and Eli the priest is sitting on the throne by the doorpost of the temple of YHWH.

10 I ojađena u duši pomoli se Ana Jahvi, plačući gorko.

And she is bitter in soul, and prays to YHWH, and weeps greatly,

11 I zavjetova se ovako: “Jahve Sebaote! Ako pogledaš na nevolju službenice svoje i opomeneš se mene i ne zaboraviš službenice svoje te dadeš službenici svojoj muško čedo, ja ću ga darovati Jahvi za sve dane njegova života i britva neće prijeći preko glave njegove.”

and vows a vow, and says, “YHWH of Hosts, if You certainly look on the affliction of Your handmaid, and have remembered me, and do not forget Your handmaid, and have given to Your handmaid seed of men—then I have given him to YHWH all [the] days of his life, and a razor does not go up on his head.”

12 Tako se ona dugo molila pred Jahvom, a Eli je motrio usta njezina.

And it has been, when she multiplied praying before YHWH, that Eli is watching her mouth,

13 Ana govoraše u srcu; samo se usne njezine micahu, a glas joj se nije čuo. Zato Eli pomisli da je pijana.

and Hannah, she is speaking over her heart—only her lips are moving, and her voice is not heard, and Eli reckons her to be drunken.

14 I reče joj Eli: “Dokle ćeš biti pijana? Otrijezni se od vina što je u tebi!”

And Eli says to her, “Until when are you drunken? Turn aside your wine from you.”

15 Ali Ana odgovori i reče: “Nisam pijana, gospodaru, nego sam velika nesretnica. Nisam pila ni vina ni opojna pića nego izlijevam dušu svoju pred Jahvom.

And Hannah answers and says, “No, my lord, I [am] a woman sharply pained in spirit, and I have not drunk wine and strong drink, and I pour out my soul before YHWH;

16 Ne sudi službenicu svoju kao ženu nevaljalu, jer sam od preteške tuge i žalosti tako dugo molila.”

do not put your handmaid before a daughter of worthlessness, for from the abundance of my meditation, and of my provocation, I have spoken until now.”

17 Tada joj Eli odgovori ovako: “Pođi u miru! A Bog Izraelov neka ti ispuni molitvu kojom si ga molila.”

And Eli answers and says, “Go in peace, and the God of Israel gives your petition which you have asked of Him.”

18 A ona reče: “Neka službenica tvoja nađe milost u očima tvojim!” I žena ode svojim putem: jela je i lice joj nije više bilo tužno kao i prije.

And she says, “Let your handmaid find grace in your eyes”; and the woman goes on her way, and eats, and her face has not been [downcast] for herself anymore.

19 Sutradan uraniše i pokloniše se Jahvi, a onda se vratiše i dođoše svojoj kući u Ramu. Elkana pozna Anu, ženu svoju, a Jahve je se opomenu.

And they rise early in the morning, and bow themselves before YHWH, and turn back, and come to their house in Ramah, and Elkanah knows his wife Hannah, and YHWH remembers her;

20 Ana zatrudnje i, kad bi vrijeme, rodi sina koga nazva imenom Samuel, “jer sam ga”, reče, “izmolila od Jahve”.

and it comes to pass, at the revolution of the days, that Hannah conceives, and bears a son, and calls his name Samuel, for, “I have asked for him from YHWH.”

21 Poslije godine dana uziđe njezin muž Elkana sa svim domom svojim da prinese Jahvi godišnju žrtvu i da izvrši zavjet.

And the man Elkanah goes up, and all his house, to sacrifice to YHWH the sacrifice of the days, and his vow.

22 Ali Ana ne pođe s njim jer reče svome mužu: “Neću poći dok se dijete ne odbije od prsiju, a onda ću ga odvesti da se pokaže pred Jahvom i da ostane ondje zauvijek.”

And Hannah has not gone up, for she said to her husband, “Until the youth is weaned—then I have brought him in, and he has appeared before the face of YHWH, and dwelt there for all time.”

23 I odgovori joj Elkana, njezin muž: “Čini kako misliš da je dobro; ostani dok ga ne odbiješ od prsiju; samo neka ti Jahve ispuni tvoju želju!” I žena osta kod kuće dojeći sina svoga dok ga nije odbila od prsiju.

And her husband Elkanah says to her, “Do that which is good in your eyes; abide until your weaning him; only, let YHWH establish His word”; and the woman abides and suckles her son until she has weaned him,

24 Čim ga je odbila od prsiju, povede ga sa sobom uzevši uz to trogodišnjeg junca, efu brašna i mijeh vina; i uvede ga u Dom Jahvin u Šilu. A dječak je bio još vrlo mlad.

and she causes him to go up with her when she has weaned him, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and she brings him into the house of YHWH at Shiloh, and the youth [is but] a youth.

25 Tada zaklaše junca, a majka dječakova pristupi k Eliju.

And they slaughter the bullock, and bring in the youth to Eli,

26 I reče Ana: “Dopusti, gospodaru! Tako ti života tvoga, gospodaru, ja sam ona žena koja je stajala ovdje kraj tebe moleći se Jahvi.

and she says, “O my lord, your soul lives! My lord, I [am] the woman who stood with you in this [place], to pray to YHWH;

27 Molila sam za ovo dijete, i Jahve mi je uslišio prošnju kojom sam ga prosila.

I prayed for this youth, and YHWH gives to me my petition which I asked of Him;

28 Zato i ja njega ustupam Jahvi za sve dane njegova života: ta isprošen je od Jahve.” I pokloniše se ondje Jahvi.

and I also have called him to YHWH, all the days that he has lived—he is called to YHWH”; and he bows himself there before YHWH.
