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 named Elkanah who lived in Ramah [town] in the hilly area where [the tribe of] Ephraim lived. His father was Jeroham, his grandfather was Elihu, and his great-grandfather was Tohu. He belonged to the Zuph clan.
2 A ten měl dvě ženy, jméno jedné Anna, a jméno druhé Penenna. Měla pak Penenna děti, ale Anna neměla dětí.
He had two wives: Hannah and Peninnah. Peninnah had several 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.
Once every year Elkanah went up [with his family] from Ramah to Shiloh [city]. He went there to worship Yahweh, [the commander] of the armies [of angels], and to offer sacrifices to him. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, [helped their father to do the work as] priests of Yahweh there.
4 Když pak přišel den, v němž obětoval Elkána, dal Penenně manželce své, a všechněm synům i dcerám jejím díly.
Each time Elkanah offered sacrifices there, he gave some of the meat to Peninnah and some to each of her sons and daughters.
5 Anně pak dal díl jeden výborný, nebo Annu miloval, ale Hospodin zavřel byl život její.
But even though he loved Hannah very much, he gave her only one special amount of meat because Yahweh had not permitted her to give birth to any children.
6 Přesto kormoutila ji také velmi protivnice její, toliko aby ji popouzela, proto že Hospodin zavřel byl život její.
And his other wife, Peninnah, would ridicule Hannah to make her feel miserable, because Yahweh had not allowed her to bear children.
7 To když činíval každého roku, a Anna též chodívala do domu Hospodinova, tak ji kormoutívala protivnice; ona pak plakávala a nic nejídala.
This happened every year. When they went up to the temple of Yahweh [at Shiloh], Peninnah ridiculed Hannah so much that Hannah cried and would 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?
Then Elkanah would say to her, “Hannah, (why are you crying?/please quit crying!) [RHQ] (Why are you not eating?/Please eat something!) [RHQ] Why are you so upset/sad? You have me; is that not more important to you than if you had ten sons? (OR, I [love you] more than your sons [would love you], even if you had ten sons.)”
9 Vstala tedy Anna, když pojedli v Sílo a napili se; a Elí kněz seděl na stolici u veřeje chrámu Hospodinova.
One year, after they had finished eating and drinking at Shiloh, Hannah stood up [to pray]. Eli the priest was nearby, sitting on a chair by the doorway of the sacred tent of Yahweh.
10 Ona pak jsuci v hořkosti srdce, modlila se Hospodinu a plakala velmi.
Hannah was very distressed, and she cried very sorrowfully as she prayed to Yahweh.
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.
She made a vow saying, “O Almighty Commander of the armies of angels, if you will look at me and see how miserable I am, and think about me and allow me to give birth to a son, then I will dedicate him to you [to serve you] for the rest of his life. And [to show that he is dedicated to you], (no one will ever [be allowed to] cut his hair/his hair will never be cut).”
12 I stalo se, když se dlouho modlila před Hospodinem, že Elí pozor měl na ústa její.
As she was praying like that to Yahweh, Eli the priest saw Hannah’s lips [moving as she was praying].
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.
But Hannah was only praying silently; she was not making any sound. So Eli thought that she was drunk.
14 Protož řekl jí Elí: Dlouho-liž budeš opilá? Vystřízvěj z vína svého.
He said to her, “How long will you continue to get drunk [RHQ]? (Throw away your wine/Quit drinking wine)!”
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.
Hannah replied, “Sir, I am not drunk! I have not been drinking wine or any other alcoholic drink. I feel very distressed and I have been telling Yahweh about how I feel.
16 Nepřirovnávejž děvky své k ženě bezbožné, nebo z velikého myšlení a hořkosti své mluvila jsem až dosavad.
Do not think that I am a worthless/wicked woman! I have been praying like this because I am very distressed [DOU].”
17 Jíž odpověděl Elí, řka: Jdiž u pokoji, a Bůh Izraelský dejž tobě k prosbě tvé, zač jsi ho prosila.
Eli replied, “I wish/desire that things will go well for you. I desire that God, the one we Israeli people [worship], will give you what you requested from 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.
She replied, “I want you to think highly/well about me.” Then she returned [to her family] and after she ate something, her face no longer looked 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.
Early the next morning, Elkanah and his family got up and worshiped Yahweh [again], and then they returned to their home at Ramah. Elkanah (slept with/had sex with) Hannah. Then Yahweh answered her prayer,
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 she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, [which sounds like the words in the Hebrew language that mean ‘heard by God’], because she said “Yahweh [heard me when] I requested from him [a son].”
21 Šel pak muž ten Elkána se vší čeledí svou, aby obětoval Hospodinu obět výroční a slib svůj.
The following year, Elkanah again went up [to Shiloh] with his family to make the kind of sacrifice he made each year, and also to give a special offering to God that he had promised [to give him previously].
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 [with them]. She said to her husband, “After I have weaned the baby, I will take him [to Shiloh and present him] to Yahweh, and he will stay there for the rest of his life.”
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.
Elkanah said, “Do what seems the best to you. Stay here until you have weaned him. What I desire is that Yahweh will [enable you to] do what you have promised.” So Hannah stayed at home and nursed her son until she 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.
After she weaned him, even though Samuel was very young, she took him to the temple/house of Yahweh at Shiloh. [To offer as a sacrifice], she took along a three-year-old bull, [a sack containing] (20 pounds/9 kg.) of flour, and a container of wine.
25 Tedy zabili volka a přivedli dítě k Elí.
After the priest had slaughtered the bull [and offered it to Yahweh on the altar], Hannah and Elkanah brought the boy 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.
Then Hannah said to him, “Sir, (Do you remember me?/I solemnly affirm), I am the woman who prayed as I stood here beside you [several years ago].
27 Za toto dítě jsem prosila, a dal mi Hospodin k prosbě mé to, čehož jsem prosila od něho.
I prayed that Yahweh would enable me to give birth to a child, and this is the child whom I requested Yahweh to give me.
28 Protož já také oddávám jej Hospodinu; po všecky dny, v nichž živ bude, oddanýť jest Hospodinu. A učinil tu poklonu Hospodinu.
So now I am presenting him to Yahweh. He will belong to Yahweh as long as he lives.” Then Elkanah [and his family] worshiped Yahweh there.
