1 Samuelova 1

1 Byl muž nějaký z Ramataim Zofim, s hory Efraim, jehož jméno bylo Elkána, syn Jerochama, syna Elihu, syna Tohu, syna Zuf Efratejského.

Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim, a Zuphite of the hill-country of Ephraim, named Elkanah; he was the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite:

2 A ten měl dvě ženy, jméno jedné Anna, a jméno druhé Penenna. Měla pak Penenna děti, ale Anna neměla dětí.

And he had two wives, one named Hannah and the other Peninnah: and Peninnah was the mother of children, but Hannah had no children.

3 I chodíval muž ten z města svého každého roku, aby se klaněl a obětoval Hospodinu zástupů, do Sílo, kdež byli dva synové Elí, Ofni a Fínes, kněží Hospodinovi.

Now this man went up from his town every year to give worship and to make offerings to the Lord of armies in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the Lord, were there.

4 Když pak přišel den, v němž obětoval Elkána, dal Penenně manželce své, a všechněm synům i dcerám jejím díly.

And when the day came for Elkanah to make his offering, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and daughters, their part of the feast:

5 Anně pak dal díl jeden výborný, nebo Annu miloval, ale Hospodin zavřel byl život její.

But to Hannah he gave one part, though Hannah was very dear to him, but the Lord had not let her have children.

6 Přesto kormoutila ji také velmi protivnice její, toliko aby ji popouzela, proto že Hospodin zavřel byl život její.

And the other wife did everything possible to make her unhappy, because the Lord had not let her have children;

7 To když činíval každého roku, a Anna též chodívala do domu Hospodinova, tak ji kormoutívala protivnice; ona pak plakávala a nic nejídala.

And year by year, whenever she went up to the house of the Lord, she kept on attacking her, so that Hannah gave herself up to weeping and would take no food.

8 Tedy řekl jí Elkána muž její: Anna, proč pláčeš? A proč nejíš? Proč tak truchlí srdce tvé? Zdaliž já nejsem tobě lepší nežli deset synů?

Then her husband Elkanah said to her, Hannah, why are you weeping? and why are you taking no food? why is your heart troubled? am I not more to you than ten sons?

9 Vstala tedy Anna, když pojedli v Sílo a napili se; a Elí kněz seděl na stolici u veřeje chrámu Hospodinova.

So after they had taken food and wine in the guest room, Hannah got up. Now Eli the priest was seated by the pillars of the doorway of the Temple of the Lord.

10 Ona pak jsuci v hořkosti srdce, modlila se Hospodinu a plakala velmi.

And with grief in her soul, weeping bitterly, she made her prayer to the Lord.

11 A učinila slib, řkuci: Hospodine zástupů, jestliže vzhlédneš na trápení děvky své a rozpomeneš se na mne, a nezapomeneš na děvku svou, ale dáš služebnici své plod pohlaví mužského: tedy dám jej tobě, Hospodine, po všecky dny života jeho, a břitva nevejde na hlavu jeho.

And she made an oath, and said, O Lord of armies, if you will truly take note of the sorrow of your servant, not turning away from me but keeping me in mind, and will give me a man-child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and his hair will never be cut.

12 I stalo se, když se dlouho modlila před Hospodinem, že Elí pozor měl na ústa její.

Now while she was a long time in prayer before the Lord, Eli was watching her mouth.

13 Ale Anna mluvila v srdci svém; toliko rtové její se hýbali, hlasu pak jejího nebylo slyšeti. I domníval se Elí, že by opilá byla.

For Hannah's prayer came from her heart, and though her lips were moving she made no sound: so it seemed to Eli that she was overcome with wine.

14 Protož řekl jí Elí: Dlouho-liž budeš opilá? Vystřízvěj z vína svého.

And Eli said to her, How long are you going to be the worse for drink? Put away the effects of your wine from you.

15 Odpověděla Anna, řkuci: Nikoli, pane můj, žena jsem ducha truchlivého, ani vína ani nápoje opojného jsem nepila, ale vylila jsem duši svou před Hospodinem.

And Hannah, answering him, said, No, my lord, I am a woman whose spirit is broken with sorrow: I have not taken wine or strong drink, but I have been opening my heart before the Lord.

16 Nepřirovnávejž děvky své k ženě bezbožné, nebo z velikého myšlení a hořkosti své mluvila jsem až dosavad.

Do not take your servant to be a good-for-nothing woman: for my words have come from my stored-up sorrow and pain.

17 Jíž odpověděl Elí, řka: Jdiž u pokoji, a Bůh Izraelský dejž tobě k prosbě tvé, zač jsi ho prosila.

Then Eli said to her, Go in peace: and may the God of Israel give you an answer to the prayer you have made to him.

18 I řekla: Ó by nalezla děvka tvá milost před očima tvýma! Tedy odšedši žena cestou svou, pojedla, a tvář její nebyla více smutná.

And she said, May your servant have grace in your eyes. So the woman went away, and took part in the feast, and her face was no longer sad.

19 I vstali velmi ráno, a poklonu učinivše před Hospodinem, navrátili se, a přišli do domu svého do Ramata. Poznal pak Elkána Annu manželku svou, a Hospodin rozpomenul se na ni.

And early in the morning they got up, and after worshipping before the Lord they went back to Ramah, to their house: and Elkanah had connection with his wife; and the Lord kept her in mind.

20 I stalo se po vyplnění dnů, jakž počala Anna, že porodila syna, a nazvala jméno jeho Samuel; nebo řekla: Vyprosila jsem ho na Hospodinu.

Now the time came when Hannah, being with child, gave birth to a son; and she gave him the name Samuel, Because, she said, I made a prayer to the Lord for him.

21 Šel pak muž ten Elkána se vší čeledí svou, aby obětoval Hospodinu obět výroční a slib svůj.

And the man Elkanah with all his family went up to make the year's offering to the Lord, and to give effect to his oath.

22 Ale Anna nešla, nebo řekla muži svému: Až odchovám dítě, tehdy povedu je, aby ukáže se před Hospodinem, zůstalo tam na věky.

But Hannah did not go, for she said to her husband, I will not go till the child has been taken from the breast, and then I will take him with me and put him before the Lord, where he may be for ever.

23 I řekl jí Elkána muž její: Učiň, cožť se dobrého vidí, zůstaň, dokudž neodchováš jeho. Ó by toliko utvrdil Hospodin slovo své! A tak zůstala žena, a krmila syna svého, až jej i odchovala.

And her husband Elkanah said to her, Do whatever seems right to you, but not till you have taken him from the breast; only may the Lord do as he has said. So the woman, waiting there, gave her son milk till he was old enough to be taken from the breast.

24 Potom, když ho odchovala, vedla jej s sebou, se třmi volky a jednou efi mouky a nádobou vína, i uvedla jej do domu Hospodinova v Sílo; dítě pak ještě bylo malé.

Then when she had done so, she took him with her, with a three-year old ox and an ephah of meal and a skin full of wine, and took him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh: now the child was still very young.

25 Tedy zabili volka a přivedli dítě k Elí.

And when they had made an offering of the ox, they took the child to Eli.

26 Ona pak řekla: Poslyš mne, pane můj. Jako jest živa duše tvá, pane můj, já jsem žena ta, kteráž jsem stála tuto s tebou, modleci se Hospodinu.

And she said, O my lord, as your soul is living, my lord, I am that woman who was making a prayer to the Lord here by your side:

27 Za toto dítě jsem prosila, a dal mi Hospodin k prosbě mé to, čehož jsem prosila od něho.

My prayer was for this child; and the Lord has given him to me in answer to my request:

28 Protož já také oddávám jej Hospodinu; po všecky dny, v nichž živ bude, oddanýť jest Hospodinu. A učinil tu poklonu Hospodinu.

So I have given him to the Lord; for all his life he is the Lord's. Then he gave the Lord worship there.
