1 Samuel 2
1 At that time Hannah prayed: “My heart rejoices in the LORD in whom my horn is exalted. My mouth speaks boldly against my enemies, for I rejoice in Your salvation.
I Ana se pomoli i reèe: razveseli se srce moje u Gospodu; podiže se rog moj u Gospodu; otvoriše se usta moja na neprijatelje moje, jer sam radosna radi spasenja tvojega.
2 There is no one holy like the LORD. Indeed, there is no one besides You! And there is no Rock like our God.
Nema svetoga kao što je Gospod; jer nema drugoga osim tebe; i nema stijene kao što je Bog naš.
3 Do not boast so proudly, or let arrogance come from your mouth, for the LORD is a God who knows, and by Him actions are weighed.
Ne govorite više ponosito, i neka ne izlaze iz usta vaših rijeèi ohole; jer je Gospod Bog koji sve zna, i on udešava namjere.
4 The bows of the mighty are broken, but the feeble are equipped with strength.
Luk junacima slomi se, i iznemogli opasaše se snagom.
5 The well-fed hire themselves out for food, but the starving hunger no more. The barren woman gives birth to seven, but she who has many sons pines away.
Koji bijahu siti, naimaju se za hljeb; a koji bijahu gladni, nijesu više; i nerotkinja rodi sedmoro, a koja imaše djece, iznemože.
Gospod ubija, i oživljuje; spušta u grob, i izvlaèi. (Sheol h7585)
7 The LORD sends poverty and wealth; He humbles and He exalts.
Gospod siromaši, i bogati; ponižuje, i uzvišuje.
8 He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap. He seats them among princes and bestows on them a throne of honor. For the foundations of the earth are the LORD’s, and upon them He has set the world.
Siromaha podiže iz praha, i iz bunjišta uzvišuje ubogoga da ga posadi s knezovima, i daje im da naslijede prijesto slave; jer su Gospodnji temelji zemaljski, i na njima je osnovao vasiljenu.
9 He guards the steps of His faithful ones, but the wicked perish in darkness; for by his own strength shall no man prevail.
Saèuvaæe noge milijeh svojih, a bezbožnici æe umuknuti u mraku; jer svojom snagom neæe èovjek nadjaèati.
10 Those who oppose the LORD will be shattered. He will thunder from heaven against them. The LORD will judge the ends of the earth and will give power to His king. He will exalt the horn of His anointed.”
Koji se suprote Gospodu, satræe se; na njih æe zagrmjeti s neba; Gospod æe suditi krajevima zemaljskim, i daæe snagu caru svojemu, i uzvisiæe rog pomazaniku svojemu.
11 Then Elkanah went home to Ramah, but the boy began ministering to the LORD before Eli the priest.
Potom otide Elkana u Ramat kuæi svojoj, a dijete služaše Gospodu pred Ilijem sveštenikom.
12 Now the sons of Eli were wicked men; they had no regard for the LORD
A sinovi Ilijevi bijahu nevaljali, i ne znadijahu za Gospoda.
13 or for the custom of the priests with the people. When any man offered a sacrifice, the servant of the priest would come with a three-pronged meat fork while the meat was boiling
Jer u tijeh sveštenika bješe obièaj prema narodu: kad ko prinošaše žrtvu, dolažaše momak sveštenikov dok se kuhaše meso s viljuškama trokrakim u ruci,
14 and plunge it into the pan or kettle or cauldron or cooking pot. And the priest would claim for himself whatever the meat fork brought up. This is how they treated all the Israelites who came to Shiloh.
I zabadaše u sud, ili u kotao, ili u tavu, ili u lonac, i što se god nabode na viljuške uzimaše sveštenik. Tako èinjahu svemu Izrailju koji dolažaše u Silom.
15 Even before the fat was burned, the servant of the priest would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, “Give the priest some meat to roast, because he will not accept boiled meat from you, but only raw.”
Tako i prije nego bi zapalili salo, došao bi momak sveštenikov, te bi rekao èovjeku koji prinošaše žrtvu: daj meso da ispeèem svešteniku, jer ti neæu primiti mesa kuhana, nego sirovo.
16 And if any man said to him, “The fat must be burned first; then you may take whatever you want,” the servant would reply, “No, you must give it to me right now. If you refuse, I will take it by force!”
Ako bi mu tada èovjek odgovorio: neka se prvo zapali salo, pa onda uzmi što ti god duša želi; on bi rekao: ne, nego daj sada, ako li ne daš, uzeæu silom.
17 Thus the sin of these young men was severe in the sight of the LORD, for they were treating the LORD’s offering with contempt.
I grijeh onijeh mladiæa bijaše vrlo velik pred Gospodom, jer ljudi ne marahu za prinos Gospodnji.
18 Now Samuel was ministering before the LORD—a boy wearing a linen ephod.
A Samuilo služaše pred Gospodom još dijete u opleæku lanenom.
19 Each year his mother would make him a little robe and bring it to him when she went with her husband to offer the annual sacrifice.
A mati mu naèini mali plašt i donese mu, i tako èinjaše svake godine dolazeæi s mužem svojim da prinese žrtvu godišnju.
20 And Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, saying, “May the LORD give you children by this woman in place of the one she dedicated to the LORD.” Then they would go home.
A Ilije blagoslovi Elkanu i ženu njegovu govoreæi: Gospod da ti da poroda od te žene za ovoga kojega je dala Gospodu! I otidoše u svoje mjesto.
21 So the LORD attended to Hannah, and she conceived and gave birth to three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile, the boy Samuel grew up in the presence of the LORD.
I Gospod pohodi Anu, i ona zatrudnje i rodi tri sina i dvije kæeri. A dijete Samuilo rastijaše pred Gospodom.
22 Now Eli was very old, and he heard about everything his sons were doing to all Israel and how they were sleeping with the women who served at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
A Ilije bijaše vrlo star, i èu sve što èinjahu sinovi njegovi svemu Izrailju, i kako spavahu sa ženama koje dolažahu gomilama na vrata šatora od sastanka.
23 “Why are you doing these things?” Eli said to his sons. “I hear about your wicked deeds from all these people.
I govoraše im: zašto to radite? jer èujem zle rijeèi o vama od svega naroda.
24 No, my sons; it is not a good report I hear circulating among the LORD’s people.
Nemojte, djeco moja; jer nije dobro što èujem; otpaðujete narod Gospodnji.
25 If a man sins against another man, God can intercede for him; but if a man sins against the LORD, who can intercede for him?” But they would not listen to their father, since the LORD intended to put them to death.
Kad èovjek zgriješi èovjeku, sudiæe mu sudija; ali kad ko zgriješi Gospodu, ko æe moliti za nj? Ali ne poslušaše oca svojega, jer Gospod šæaše da ih ubije.
26 And the boy Samuel continued to grow in stature and in favor with the LORD and with man.
A dijete Samuilo rastijaše i bijaše mio i Gospodu i ljudima.
27 Then a man of God came to Eli and told him, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Did I not clearly reveal Myself to your father’s house when they were in Egypt under Pharaoh’s house?
Tada doðe èovjek Božji k Iliju, i reèe mu: ovako veli Gospod: ne javih li se domu oca tvojega, kad bijahu u Misiru u kuæi Faraonovoj?
28 And out of all the tribes of Israel I selected your father to be My priest, to offer sacrifices on My altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod in My presence. I also gave to the house of your father all the offerings of the Israelites made by fire.
I izabrah ga izmeðu svijeh plemena Izrailjevijeh sebi za sveštenika da prinosi žrtve na oltaru mojem i da kadi kadom i nosi opleæak preda mnom, i dadoh domu oca tvojega sve žrtve ognjene sinova Izrailjevijeh?
29 Why then do you kick at My sacrifice and offering that I have prescribed for My dwelling place? You have honored your sons more than Me by fattening yourselves with the best of all the offerings of My people Israel.’
Zašto gazite žrtvu moju i prinos moj, koje sam zapovjedio da se prinose u šatoru? i paziš sinove svoje veæma nego mene, da se gojite prvinama svijeh prinosa Izrailja naroda mojega?
30 Therefore, the LORD, the God of Israel, declares: ‘I did indeed say that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever. But now the LORD declares: Far be it from Me! For I will honor those who honor Me, but those who despise Me will be disdained.
Zato Gospod Bog Izrailjev kaže: rekao sam doista: dom tvoj i dom oca tvojega služiæe preda mnom dovijeka; ali kaže Gospod: neæe biti tako, jer one æu poštovati koji mene poštuju, a koji mene preziru, biæe prezreni.
31 Behold, the days are coming when I will cut off your strength and the strength of your father’s house, so that no older man will be left in your house.
Gle, idu dani, kad æu odsjeæi tebi ruku i ruku domu oca tvojega, da ne bude starca u domu tvojem.
32 You will see distress in My dwelling place. Despite all that is good in Israel, no one in your house will ever again reach old age.
I vidjeæeš nevolju u šatoru mjesto svega dobra što je Gospod èinio Izrailju; neæe biti starca u domu tvojem dovijeka.
33 And every one of you that I do not cut off from My altar, your eyes will fail and your heart will grieve. All your descendants will die by the sword of men.
A koga od tvojih ne istrijebim ispred oltara svojega, onaj æe ostati da ti èile oèi i da ti se cvijeli duša; i sav podmladak doma tvojega umiraæe u najboljim godinama.
34 And this sign shall come to you concerning your two sons Hophni and Phinehas: They will both die on the same day.
I ovo da ti je znak što æe doæi na oba sina tvoja, na Ofnija i Finesa: u jedan dan poginuæe obojica.
35 Then I will raise up for Myself a faithful priest. He will do whatever is in My heart and mind. And I will build for him an enduring house, and he will walk before My anointed one for all time.
A sebi æu podignuti sveštenika vjerna, on æe raditi po srcu mojemu i po duši mojoj; i sazidaæu mu tvrd dom, i on æe hoditi pred pomazanikom mojim vazda.
36 And everyone left in your house will come and bow down to him for a piece of silver or a morsel of bread, pleading, “Please appoint me to some priestly office so that I can eat a piece of bread.”’”
I ko ostane od doma tvojega, doæi æe da mu se pokloni za srebrn novac i za komad hljeba, i govoriæe: primi me u kaku službu sveštenièku da imam komad hljeba.
