< 1 Samuel 1 >

1 Now there was a man named Elkanah who was from Ramathaim-zophim in the hill country of Ephraim. He was the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
Un viens vīrs bija no Ramatajim-Cofim, no Efraīma kalniem, Elkanus vārdā, Jeroama dēls, tas bija Elihus dēls, tas Tous dēls, tas Cuva dēls, no Efraīma cilts.
2 He had two wives, one named Hannah and the other Peninnah. And Peninnah had children, but Hannah had none.
Šim bija divas sievas, vienai bija vārds Anna, un otras vārds bija Pennina, un Peninnai bija bērni, bet Annai bērnu nebija.
3 Year after year Elkanah would go up from his city to worship and sacrifice to the LORD of Hosts at Shiloh, where Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests to the LORD.
Un šis vīrs nogāja ik gadus no savas pilsētas, Dievu pielūgt un upurēt Tam Kungam Cebaot Šīlo. Un tur bija tie divi Elus dēli, Hofnus un Pinehas, Tam Kungam par priesteriem.
4 And whenever the day came for Elkanah to present his sacrifice, he would give portions to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters.
Un tai dienā, kad Elkanus upurēja, viņš savai sievai Peninnai un visiem viņas dēliem un meitām deva daļas.
5 But to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved her even though the LORD had closed her womb.
Bet Annai viņš deva divkārtīgu daļu, jo viņš to Annu mīlēja, bet Tas Kungs viņas miesas bija aizslēdzis.
6 Because the LORD had closed Hannah’s womb, her rival would provoke her and taunt her viciously.
Un viņas pretiniece viņu daudz apbēdināja un skumdināja kaitinādama, tādēļ ka Tas Kungs viņas miesas bija aizslēdzis.
7 And this went on year after year. Whenever Hannah went up to the house of the LORD, her rival taunted her until she wept and would not eat.
Un tā viņš darīja ik gadus, kad viņa nogāja Tā Kunga namā. Un šī viņu skumdināja, ka viņa raudāja un neēda.
8 “Hannah, why are you crying?” her husband Elkanah asked. “Why won’t you eat? Why is your heart so grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”
Tad Elkanus, viņas vīrs, uz viņu sacīja: Anna, kāpēc tu raudi? Un kāpēc tu neēdi? Un kāpēc tava sirds noskumusi? Vai es tev neesmu labāks nekā desmit dēli?
9 So after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh, Hannah stood up. Now Eli the priest was sitting on a chair by the doorpost of the temple of the LORD.
Tad Anna cēlās, kad bija ēdusi un dzērusi Šīlo. Un Elus, tas priesteris, sēdēja uz krēsla pie stenderes Tā Kunga namā.
10 In her bitter distress, Hannah prayed to the LORD and wept with many tears.
Un viņas sirds dziļumā bija noskumusi un pielūdza To Kungu un raudāja gauži.
11 And she made a vow, pleading, “O LORD of Hosts, if only You will look upon the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, not forgetting Your maidservant but giving her a son, then I will dedicate him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall ever come over his head.”
Un viņa solīja solījumu un sacīja: Kungs Cebaot, ja Tu Savas kalpones bēdas uzlūkosi un mani pieminēsi un Savu kalponi neaizmirsīsi un dosi Savai kalponei dēlu, tad es to Tam Kungam došu visu viņa mūžu, un dzenamam nazim nebūs nākt uz viņa galvu.
12 As Hannah kept on praying before the LORD, Eli watched her mouth.
Un kad viņa ilgi lūdza Tā Kunga priekšā, tad Elus viņas mutes (kustēšanu) lika vērā.
13 Hannah was praying in her heart, and though her lips were moving, her voice could not be heard. So Eli thought she was drunk
Jo Anna runāja savā sirdī un viņas lūpas tikai kustējās, bet viņas balss netapa dzirdēta, tāpēc Elum šķita, viņu esam piedzērušu.
14 and said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Put away your wine!”
Un Elus uz to sacīja: cik ilgi tu būsi piedzērusi? Lai tavs vīns no tevis atstājās.
15 “No, my lord,” Hannah replied. “I am a woman oppressed in spirit. I have not had any wine or strong drink, but I have poured out my soul before the LORD.
Bet Anna atbildēja un sacīja: nē, mans kungs, es esmu sieva ar bēdīgu sirdi, es neesmu ne vīna nedz stipra dzēriena dzērusi, bet savu sirdi esmu izgāzusi priekš Tā Kunga.
16 Do not take your servant for a wicked woman; for all this time I have been praying out of the depth of my anguish and grief.”
Neturi savu kalponi par tādu negodīgu sievu, jo es līdz šim esmu runājusi aiz lielām sirds nopūtām un bēdām.
17 “Go in peace,” Eli replied, “and may the God of Israel grant the petition you have asked of Him.”
Tad Elus atbildēja un sacīja: ej ar mieru, lai Israēla Dievs tev dod tavu lūgumu, ko tu no Viņa lūgusi.
18 “May your maidservant find favor with you,” said Hannah. Then she went on her way, and she began eating again, and her face was no longer downcast.
Un viņa sacīja: lai tava kalpone žēlastību atrod tavās acīs. Tad tā sieva nogāja savu ceļu un ēda un viņas vaigs vairs neraudzījās tik noskumis.
19 The next morning Elkanah and Hannah got up early to bow in worship before the LORD, and then returned home to Ramah. And Elkanah had relations with his wife Hannah, and the LORD remembered her.
Un tie cēlās rītā agri un pielūdza Tā Kunga priekšā un griezās atpakaļ un nāca savā namā Rāmatā. Un Elkanus atzina Annu, savu sievu, un Tas Kungs viņu pieminēja.
20 So in the course of time, Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked for him from the LORD.”
Un pēc kāda laika Anna tapa grūta un dzemdēja dēlu un nosauca viņa vārdu Samuēli, jo (viņa sacīja) es no Tā Kunga to esmu izlūgusies.
21 Then Elkanah and all his house went up to make the annual sacrifice to the LORD and to fulfill his vow,
Kad nu tas vīrs, Elkanus, ar visu savu namu aizgāja, Tam Kungam upurēt to gadskārtējo upuri un savu solījumu,
22 but Hannah did not go. “After the boy is weaned,” she said to her husband, “I will take him to appear before the LORD and to stay there permanently.”
Tad Anna negāja līdz, bet sacīja uz savu vīru: kad tas puisītis būs atšķirts, tad es viņu vedīšu, lai viņš rādās Tā Kunga priekšā un tur paliek mūžam.
23 “Do what you think is best,” her husband Elkanah replied, “and stay here until you have weaned him. Only may the LORD confirm His word.” So Hannah stayed and nursed her son until she had weaned him.
Un Elkanus, viņas vīrs, uz to sacīja: dari, kā tev patīk, paliec šeitan, tiekams tu viņu būsi atšķīrusi; bet Tas Kungs lai piepilda Savu vārdu. Tā tā sieva palika un zīdīja savu dēlu, tiekams viņa to atšķīra.
24 Once she had weaned him, Hannah took the boy with her, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine. Though the boy was still young, she brought him to the house of the LORD at Shiloh.
Un kad viņa to bija atšķīrusi, tad viņa to veda sev līdz ar trim vēršiem un vienu ēfu miltu un vienu trauciņu ar vīnu, un noveda Tā Kunga namā uz Šīlo; un tas zēns bija vēl jauns.
25 And when they had slaughtered the bull, they brought the boy to Eli.
Un tie nokāva vērsi un pieveda to zēnu pie Elus.
26 “Please, my lord,” said Hannah, “as surely as you live, my lord, I am the woman who stood here beside you praying to the LORD.
Un tā sacīja: mans kungs, tik tiešām kā tava dvēsele dzīvo, mans kungs, es esmu tā sieva, kas šeitan pie tevis stāvēja, To Kungu lūgdama.
27 I prayed for this boy, and since the LORD has granted me what I asked of Him,
Es par šo bērnu esmu lūgusi, un Tas Kungs man devis manu lūgumu, ko es no Viņa esmu lūgusi.
28 I now dedicate the boy to the LORD. For as long as he lives, he is dedicated to the LORD.” So they worshiped the LORD there.
Tādēļ es to arī Tam Kungam kā izlūgtu esmu nodevusi visu mūžu, kamēr tas dzīvos, - viņš ir no Tā Kunga izlūgts. Un tie tur pielūdza To Kungu.
