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.

There was a man of Armathaim Sipha, of mount Ephraim, and his name [was] Helkana, a son of Jeremeel the son of Elias the son of Thoke, in Nasib Ephraim.

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; the name of the one [was] Anna, and the name of the second Phennana. And Phennana had children, but Anna had no child.

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.

And the man went up from year to year from his city, from Armathaim, to worship and sacrifice to the Lord God of Sabaoth at Selom: and [there were] Heli and his two sons Ophni and Phinees, the priests of the Lord.

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

And the day came, and Helkana sacrificed, and gave portions to his wife Phennana and her children.

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

And to Anna he gave a prime portion, because she had no child, only Helkana loved Anna more than the other; but the Lord [had] closed her womb.

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

For the Lord gave her no child in her affliction, and according to the despondency of her affliction; and she was dispirited on this account, that the Lord shut up her womb so as not to give her a child.

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

So she did year by year, in going up to the house of the Lord; and she was dispirited, and wept, and did not eat.

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?

And Helkana her husband said to her, Anna: and she said to him, Here [am] I, my lord: and he said to her, What ails you that you weep? and why do you not eat? and why does your heart strike you? [am] I not better to you than ten children?

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

And Anna rose up after they had eaten in Selom, and stood before the Lord: and Heli the priest [was] on a seat by the threshold of the temple of the Lord.

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

And she [was] very much grieved in spirit, and prayed to the Lord, and wept abundantly.

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 vowed a vow to the Lord, saying, O Lord God of Sabaoth, if you welt indeed look upon the humiliation of your handmaid, and remember me, and give to your handmaid a boy, then will I indeed dedicate him to you till the day of his death; and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink, and no razor shall come upon his head.

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

And it came to pass, while she was long praying before the Lord, that Heli the priest marked 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.

And she was speaking in her heart, and her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: and Heli accounted her a drunken woman.

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

And the servant of Heli said to her, How long will you be drunken? take away your wine from you, and go out from the presence of the Lord.

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 Anna answered and said, Nay, my lord, [I live] in a hard day, and I have not drunk wine or strong drink, and I pour out my soul before the Lord.

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

Count not your handmaid for a pestilent woman, for by reason of the abundance of my importunity I have continued [my prayer] until now.

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

And Heli answered and said to her, Go in peace: the God of Israel give you all your petition, which you have asked of 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, Your handmaid has found favor in your eyes: and the woman went her way, and entered into her lodging, and ate and drank with her husband, and her countenance was no more 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 they rise early in the morning, and worship the Lord, and they go their way: and Helkana went into his house at Armathaim, and knew his wife Anna; and the Lord remembered her, and she conceived.

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.

And it came to pass when the time was come, that she brought forth a son, and called his name Samuel, and said, Because I asked him of the Lord God of Sabaoth.

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

And the man Helkana and all his house went up to offer in Selom the yearly sacrifice, and his vows, and all the tithes of his land.

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

But Anna did not go up with him, for she said to her husband, [I will not go up] until the child goes up, when I have weaned him, and he shall be presented before the Lord, and he shall abide there continually.

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 Helkana her husband said to her, Do that which is good in your eyes, abide still until you shall have weaned him; but may the Lord establish that which comes out of your mouth: and the woman tarried, and suckled her son until she had weaned him.

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.

And she went up with him to Selom with a calf of three years old, and loaves, and an ephah of fine flour, and a bottle of wine: and she entered into the house of the Lord in Selom, and the child with them.

25 Tedy zabili volka a přivedli dítě k Elí.

And they brought him before the Lord; and his father killed his offering which he offered from year to year to the Lord; and he brought near the child, and killed the calf; and Anna the mother of the child brought him to Heli.

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, I pray you, my lord, as your soul lives, I [am] the woman that stood in your presence with you while praying to the Lord.

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

For this child I prayed; and the Lord has given me my request that I asked of him.

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

And I lend him to the Lord all his days that he lives, a loan to the Lord: and she said,
