1 Samuelova 2
1 I modlila se Anna a řekla: Zplésalo srdce mé v Hospodinu, a vyzdvižen jest roh můj v Hospodinu; rozšířila se ústa má proti nepřátelům mým, nebo rozveselila jsem se v spasení tvém.
Then Hannah prayed, saying, “I rejoice in [what] you, [, have done]. I am strong [MET] because I belong to you. I (laugh at/ridicule) my enemies, because you, Yahweh have rescued me [from being taunted by them].
2 Neníť žádný tak svatý jako Hospodin; nýbrž žádného není kromě tebe, neníť žádný tak silný jako Bůh náš.
There is no one who is holy like you, Yahweh. There is no other god like you. There is no one like you, our God, who can protect us [as though you were putting us beneath] a huge rock [where we can hide from danger].
3 Nemluvtež již více hrdě, a nevycházej z úst vašich slovo pyšné; nebo Bůh silný vševědoucí jest Hospodin, a usilování jeho jemu nepochybují.
[You people who oppose God], stop boasting! Yahweh is a God who knows [everything], and he will evaluate/judge everyone’s actions. So don’t speak so arrogantly!
4 Lučiště i silní potříni jsou, a mdlí opásáni jsou silou.
Yahweh, you break the bows/weapons of mighty soldiers, and you give strength to those who stumble [because of being weak].
5 Sytí z chleba jednají se k dílu, a hladovití přestali lačněti, tak že neplodná porodila sedmero, a kteráž mnoho dětí měla, zemdlena jest.
Many people who previously had plenty to eat, now have to work for other people [to earn money] to buy food, but many who were always hungry are not hungry any more. The woman who did not have any children before, now has given birth to many/seven children, and the woman who had many children before, now is very lonely [because they have all died].
Yahweh, you cause some people to die, and you restore some people who are almost dead. For some people, [it seems that they will soon] go to where the dead people are, but you cause them to become healthy again. (Sheol h7585)
7 Hospodin ochuzuje i zbohacuje, ponižuje i povyšuje.
Yahweh, you cause some people to be poor and you cause some people to be rich, you humble some people and you honor some people.
8 Nuzného vyzdvihuje z prachu, a z hnoje vyvyšuje chudého, aby je posadil s knížaty, a stolici slávy dědičně jim dal; nebo Hospodinovy jsou stežeje země, na nichž založil okršlek.
[Sometimes] you lift poor people up so that they are no longer [despondent, sitting in the dust, ] or sitting on heaps of ashes; you cause them to sit next to princes; you cause them to sit on chairs/thrones where people who are highly honored sit. Yahweh, you are the one who laid the foundations of the earth, and you have set the whole world on those foundations.
9 Onť ostříhá noh svatých svých, ale bezbožní ve tmě umlknou; nebo ne v síle záleží síla člověka.
You will protect your loyal/faithful people [SYN], but you will cause the wicked to die [EUP] and descend to the dark [place where dead people are]. We do not defeat [our enemies] by our own strength;
10 Kteříž se protiví Hospodinu, setříni budou, na takové s nebe hřímati bude. Hospodin souditi bude končiny země, a dá sílu králi svému, a vyvýší roh pomazaného svého.
Yahweh, you will break into pieces those who oppose you. You will cause thunder in the sky to show that you (oppose/are angry with) them. Yahweh, you will judge [people everywhere, even those who live in] the most remote places on the earth. You will give strength to the king whom you will appoint, and give him great power [over his enemies].”
11 I navrátil se Elkána do Ramaty, do domu svého, a pacholátko přisluhovalo Hospodinu při knězi Elí.
Then Elkanah [and his family] returned to Ramah, but Samuel, the little boy, stayed to help Eli the priest serve Yahweh.
12 Synové pak Elí byli bezbožní, a neznali Hospodina.
Eli’s two [, who were also priests, ] were very wicked. They did not revere (OR, respect/obey) Yahweh.
13 Nebo těch kněží obyčej při lidu byl: Kdokoli obětoval obět, přicházel kněžský mládenec, když se maso vařilo, maje v ruce své hák třízubý,
While the people were boiling the meat from their sacrifices [in the huge pot at the temple], one of Eli’s sons, [would send his servant to come with a large three-pronged fork in his hand].
14 A vrazil jej do nádoby neb do kotlíku, neb do pánve, aneb do hrnce, a cokoli zachytil hák, to sobě bral kněz. Tak činívali všemu lidu Izraelskému, kteříž tam přicházeli do Sílo.
[He] would stick the fork into [the meat in] the pot, and whatever meat fastened onto the fork, he would take [and give it] to the priest who sent him. Eli’s sons did this to all the Israeli people who came to Shiloh [to offer sacrifices].
15 Nýbrž, prvé než tuk zapalovali, přicházel mládenec kněžský a říkal člověku, kterýž obětoval: Dej masa, ať upeku knězi, nebo nevezme od tebe masa vařeného, ale surové.
Furthermore, before the fat [on the meat] was [cut off and] and burned [as a sacrifice to Yahweh], the servant of the priest would [sometimes] come to the man who was making the sacrifice and say to him, “Give me some meat [now to take] to the priest for him to roast! He wants raw meat; he does not want boiled meat.”
16 Jemuž odpověděl-li člověk ten: Nechť jest prvé zapálen tuk, a potom vezmeš sobě, čehož žádá duše tvá, on říkal: Nikoli, ale dej hned; jestliže pak nedáš, mocí vezmu.
If the man said to the servant, “Let the priests [cut off and] burn the fat first; then you can take what you want,” the servant would reply, “No, give it to me now; if you do not give it to me, I will take it forcefully!”
17 I byl to hřích mládenců těch před Hospodinem velmi veliký; nebo pohrdali lidé obětmi Hospodinovými.
Yahweh considered that the young [sons of Eli] were committing a very great sin, because they were treating very disrespectfully the offerings that were being given to Yahweh.
18 Samuel pak přisluhoval před Hospodinem, mládenček, oděný jsa efodem lněným.
As for Samuel, who was still a very young boy, he continued to do work for Yahweh, wearing a little sacred linen vest [like the Supreme Priest wore].
19 A matka jeho dělávala mu sukničku malou, a přinášela jemu každého roku, když přicházela s mužem svým k obětování oběti výroční.
Each year his mother made a [new] little robe for him and took it to him when she went up [to Shiloh] with her husband to offer a sacrifice.
20 I požehnal Elí Elkánovi a manželce jeho, řka: Dejž tobě Hospodin símě z ženy této za oddaného, kteréhož jsi vyžádal na Hospodinu. I odešli na místo své.
Then Eli would [ask God to] bless Elkanah and his wife, and he would say to Elkanah, “I hope/desire that Yahweh will enable your wife to give birth to other children, to take the place of the one whom she dedicated to Yahweh.” Then Elkanah and his family would return home.
21 Tedy navštívil Hospodin Annu, kteráž počala a porodila tři syny a dvě dcery. Ale mládenček Samuel rostl před Hospodinem.
And Yahweh was very kind to Hannah, and enabled her to give birth to three [other] sons and two daughters. Their son Samuel grew up while he was doing work for Yahweh [in the Sacred Tent].
22 Elí pak byl starý velmi a slyšel všecky věci, kteréž činili synové jeho všemu Izraeli, a kterak obývali s ženami, kteréž přisluhovaly u dveří stánku úmluvy.
Eli became very old. He often heard about all the [evil] things that his sons were doing to the Israeli people. He heard that they [sometimes] (slept with/had sex with) the women who worked at the entrance to the tent where [God] spoke to [his people].
23 I řekl jim: Proč činíte takové věci? Nebo já slyším zlé slovo o vás ode všeho lidu tohoto.
He said to them, “(It is terrible that you do such things!/Why do you do such things?) [RHQ] Many people keep telling me about the evil things that you do.
24 Nikoli, synové moji, neboť není dobrá pověst, kterouž já slyším, že odvracíte lid Hospodinův.
My sons, stop it! The reports [about you] that the people who belong to Yahweh tell others are terrible [EUP]!
25 Zhřeší-li člověk proti člověku, souditi ho bude soudce; pakli kdo zhřeší proti Hospodinu, kdo se zasadí o něho? Ale neuposlechli hlasu otce svého, nebo je chtěl zbíti Hospodin.
If one person sins against another person, God can (intercede/act as a referee) between them. But if someone sins against Yahweh, no one can [RHQ] (intercede/act as a referee) between them!” But Eli’s sons would not listen to what their father said. This was because Yahweh had decided [that someone should] them.
26 Ale mládenček Samuel prospíval a rostl, a milý byl, jakož před Hospodinem, tak i před lidmi.
The boy Samuel continued to grow up, and the things that he did pleased Yahweh and the people.
27 I přišel muž Boží k Elí a řekl jemu: Takto praví Hospodin: Zdaliž jsem se patrně nezjevil domu otce tvého, když byli v Egyptě, v domě Faraonově?
One day, a prophet came to Eli and told him, “This is what Yahweh has told me: ‘When your ancestors were slaves of the king of Egypt, I appeared to Aaron.
28 A vyvolil jsem ho sobě ze všech pokolení Izraelských za kněze, aby obětoval na oltáři mém, a aby kadil vonnými věcmi a nosil efod přede mnou; dal jsem také domu otce tvého všecky ohnivé oběti synů Izraelských.
From all the tribes of the Israeli people, I chose him [and his male descendants] to be priests for me. I appointed them to go up to my altar, to burn incense, to wear a sacred apron [as they worked] for me. And I declared that they could take [and eat some of the meat] that the Israeli people burned [on the altar].
29 Proč pošlapáváte obět mou, i suchou obět mou, kterouž jsem přikázal v příbytku tomto? A víces ctil syny své nežli mne, abyste tyli prvotinami všech obětí suchých Izraele lidu mého.
So why do you show disrespect for the sacrifices and offerings that I commanded [the people to bring] to me [RHQ]? You are honoring your sons more than you are honoring me, by allowing them to get fat from eating the best parts of all the sacrifices that the Israeli people bring to me!’
30 Protož praví Hospodin Bůh Izraelský: Řeklť jsem byl zajisté, dům tvůj a dům otce tvého přisluhovati měl přede mnou až na věky, ale nyní praví Hospodin: Odstup to ode mne; nebo těch, kteříž mne ctí, poctím, kteříž pak mnou pohrdají, v pohrdání přijdou.
“Therefore, this is what Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], declares: ‘I definitely promised that Aaron and his descendants would continue to serve [IDM] me forever.’ But now I declare this: ‘It will not continue like that! I will honor those who honor me, but I will despise those who despise me.
31 Aj, dnové přicházejí, že odetnu rámě tvé a rámě domu otce tvého, aby nebylo starce v domě tvém.
Listen carefully! There will soon be a time when I will cause all the strong [young men] in your family to die. The result will be that no men in your family will [live long enough to] become old men.
32 A viděti budeš protivníka v příbytku Páně, ve všem, čehož Bůh štědře udíleti bude Izraelovi, aniž bude starce v domě tvém po všecky dny.
You will be distressed and envious as you see the blessings that I will give to [the other people in] Israel. And [I repeat that] no men in your family will ever live long enough to become old men.
33 A ačkoli nevyhladím do konce muže od oltáře svého, abych trápil oči tvé a bolestí ssužoval duši tvou, všecko však množství domu tvého zemrou v věku vyspělém.
There is one of your descendants whom I will spare, and not prevent him from serving me as a priest. But he will become blind, and then he will always be sad and grieving. But all your other descendants will die violently.
34 A to měj za znamení, což přijde na dva syny tvé, Ofni a Fínesa: oba jednoho dne umrou.
And your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, will both die on the same day. And that will prove to you [that all that I have said will come true/happen].
35 Vzbudím pak sobě kněze věrného, kterýž vedlé srdce mého a vedlé duše mé vše konati bude, a vzdělám jemu dům stálý, aby přisluhoval před pomazaným mým po všecky dny.
‘have chosen another man to be my priest. He is one who will serve me faithfully: He will do everything I want [DOU] him to do. And I will enable him to have many descendants [IDM] who will be priests and will always serve me by helping the king whom I will choose.
36 A budeť, že kdožkoli pozůstane z domu tvého, přijde, aby se poklonil jemu, pro peníz stříbrný a pro skyvu chleba, a řekne: Připusť mne, prosím, k jedné třídě kněžské, abych jedl chléb.
All of your descendants who remain alive will have to go to that priest and ask him to give them money and food, and they will each have to say, “Please allow me to help the other priests, in order that I may [earn some money to] buy some food.”’”
