1 Samuel 1
1 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:
Di kota Rama, di perbukitan wilayah Efraim, ada seorang laki-laki dari suku Efraim bernama Elkana. Dia adalah anak Yeroham, dan Yeroham adalah anak Elihu. Elihu adalah anak Tohu, dan Tohu adalah anak Zuf.
2 And he had two wives, one named Hannah and the other Peninnah: and Peninnah was the mother of children, but Hannah had no children.
Elkana memiliki dua orang istri. Yang pertama bernama Hana dan yang kedua bernama Penina. Penina mempunyai beberapa anak, sedangkan Hana tidak mempunyai anak.
3 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.
Setiap tahun Elkana pergi dari kota Rama ke kemah TUHAN di Silo untuk menyembah dan mempersembahkan kurban kepada TUHAN Panglima Semesta. Imam yang melayani di kemah TUHAN adalah kedua anak Imam Eli, yaitu Hofni dan Pinehas.
4 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:
Setiap kali Elkana mempersembahkan kurban, dia selalu memberikan sebagian dari daging kurban itu kepada Penina dan anak-anaknya.
5 But to Hannah he gave one part, though Hannah was very dear to him, but the Lord had not let her have children.
Tetapi Elkana memberikan bagian daging kurban yang istimewa kepada Hana, karena dia sangat mencintai Hana, walaupun TUHAN sudah menutup kandungannya sehingga dia tidak memiliki anak.
6 And the other wife did everything possible to make her unhappy, because the Lord had not let her have children;
Penina sering kali merendahkan dan menghina Hana, karena TUHAN memang membuat Hana tidak bisa hamil.
7 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.
Dari tahun ke tahun ketika keluarga Elkana berada di kemah TUHAN, Penina selalu menyakiti hati Hana, sehingga Hana menangis dan tidak mau makan.
8 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?
Elkana bertanya kepadanya, “Hana, mengapa kamu menangis dan tidak mau makan? Mengapa kamu begitu sedih? Bukankah aku, suamimu ini, lebih berharga dibandingkan dengan sepuluh anak laki-laki?”
9 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.
Pada suatu kali di Silo, sesudah mereka selesai makan dan minum, Hana berdiri dan pergi berdoa di dekat gerbang halaman kemah TUHAN. Saat itu imam Eli sedang duduk di kursinya di samping pintu gerbang itu.
10 And with grief in her soul, weeping bitterly, she made her prayer to the Lord.
Hana berdoa kepada TUHAN dengan sangat sedih sambil menangis tersedu-sedu.
11 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.
Dan Hana bersumpah kepada TUHAN, “Ya TUHAN Panglima Semesta mohon lihatlah penderitaan hamba dengan penuh belas kasihan, ingatlah dan jangan melupakan hamba-Mu ini. Jika Engkau memberikan kepada hamba seorang anak laki-laki, maka hamba akan menyerahkan dia kepada-Mu untuk melayani Engkau seumur hidupnya, dan rambutnya tidak akan pernah dipotong.”
12 Now while she was a long time in prayer before the Lord, Eli was watching her mouth.
Sementara Hana berdoa kepada TUHAN, Eli memperhatikan gerakan bibirnya.
13 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.
Hana berdoa di dalam hati, hanya bibirnya yang bergerak, tetapi suaranya tidak terdengar. Karena itu Eli mengira bahwa Hana sedang mabuk.
14 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.
Maka Eli berkata kepada Hana, “Sampai kapankah kamu akan terus mabuk? Buanglah anggurmu!”
15 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.
Hana menjawabnya, “Hamba tidak sedang mabuk, Tuan! Hamba tidak sedang minum anggur ataupun minuman keras. Hamba sangat sedih dan sedang mencurahkan seluruh isi hati hamba kepada TUHAN.
16 Do not take your servant to be a good-for-nothing woman: for my words have come from my stored-up sorrow and pain.
Janganlah menganggap hamba ini wanita hina. Sejak tadi hamba hanya mengungkapkan semua kesedihan dan penderitaan hamba kepada TUHAN!”
17 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.
Jawab Eli kepadanya, “Kalau begitu, pergilah dengan hati yang tenang. Semoga Allah Israel mengabulkan apa yang kamu mohon kepada-Nya.”
18 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.
Hana berkata, “Terima kasih! Semoga hambamu berkenan di hadapanmu.” Kemudian Hana pergi, lalu makan dan wajahnya tidak muram lagi.
19 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.
Keesokkan harinya, ketika hari masih subuh, Elkana dan keluarganya bangun dan beribadah kepada TUHAN. Sesudah itu mereka kembali ke kota Rama. Ketika Elkana bersetubuh dengan Hana, TUHAN mengingat permintaan Hana untuk mempunyai seorang anak.
20 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.
Beberapa waktu kemudian, Hana melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki. Hana menamai anak itu Samuel, karena katanya, “Saya sudah memintanya kepada TUHAN.”
21 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.
Tahun berikutnya, Elkana dan keluarganya pergi lagi ke Silo untuk mempersembahkan kurban tahunan kepada TUHAN, juga kurban istimewa untuk menepati sumpah mereka.
22 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.
Tetapi Hana tidak ikut dengan mereka. Katanya kepada suaminya, “Sesudah Samuel berhenti menyusu, saya akan membawa dia ke sana untuk mengkhususkan dia demi pelayanan TUHAN, lalu Samuel akan tinggal di kemah TUHAN mulai saat itu sampai seterusnya.”
23 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.
Maka Elkana berkata kepadanya, “Lakukanlah apa yang menurutmu baik. Tinggallah di sini sampai kamu selesai menyapih dia. Semoga TUHAN membantumu menepati janjimu.” Maka Hana tetap tinggal di Rama dan menyusui Samuel sampai tiba waktunya Samuel disapih.
24 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.
Ketika Hana selesai menyapih Samuel, Hana dan Elkana membawa dia ke kemah TUHAN di Silo. Hana juga membawa seekor sapi jantan berumur tiga tahun untuk kurban persembahan, sembilan kilogram tepung, dan satu kantong kulit berisi anggur.
25 And when they had made an offering of the ox, they took the child to Eli.
Sesudah menyembelih sapi jantan itu, mereka menyerahkan Samuel kepada Eli.
26 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:
Hana bertanya kepada Eli, “Apakah Tuan masih ingat pada hamba? Sayalah wanita yang dulu berdiri di sini dekat Tuan dan berdoa kepada TUHAN.
27 My prayer was for this child; and the Lord has given him to me in answer to my request:
Hamba memohon kepada TUHAN supaya Dia memberi saya seorang anak. TUHAN sudah mengabulkan permohonan hamba.
28 So I have given him to the Lord; for all his life he is the Lord's. Then he gave the Lord worship there.
Sekarang hamba akan menyerahkan anak ini kepada TUHAN. Seumur hidupnya, dia akan mengabdi bagi TUHAN.” Saat itu juga, Samuel sujud dan menyembah TUHAN.
