Kings I 1
1 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.
Houve um homem de Ramataim de Zofim, do monte de Efraim, que se chamava Elcana, filho de Jeroão, filho de Eliú, filho de Toú, filho de Zufe, efraimita.
2 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.
E tinha ele duas mulheres; o nome da uma era Ana, e o nome da outra Penina. E Penina tinha filhos, mas Ana não os tinha.
3 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.
E esse homem subia todos os anos de sua cidade, para adorar e sacrificar ao SENHOR dos exércitos em Siló. E ali estavam os dois filhos de Eli, Hofni e Fineias, sacerdotes do SENHOR.
4 And the day came, and Helkana sacrificed, and gave portions to his wife Phennana and her children.
E quando vinha o dia, Elcana sacrificava, e dava à sua mulher Penina, e a todos os seus filhos e a todas as suas filhas, a cada um a sua porção.
5 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.
Mas a Ana ele dava uma porção selecionada; porque amava a Ana, ainda que o SENHOR houvesse fechado sua madre.
6 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.
E sua concorrente a irritava, irando-a e entristecendo-a, porque o SENHOR havia fechado sua madre.
7 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.
E assim fazia cada ano: quando subia à casa do SENHOR, irritava assim à outra; pelo qual ela chorava, e não comia.
8 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 thee that thou weepest? and why dost thou not eat? and why does thy heart smite thee? [am] I not better to thee than ten children?
E Elcana seu marido lhe disse: Ana, por que choras? Por que não comes? E por que está afligido teu coração? Não te sou eu melhor que dez filhos?
9 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.
E levantou-se Ana depois que havia comido e bebido em Siló; e enquanto o sacerdote Eli estava sentado em uma cadeira junto a um pilar do templo do SENHOR,
10 And she [was] very much grieved in spirit, and prayed to the Lord, and wept abundantly.
Ela com amargura de alma orou ao SENHOR, e chorou abundantemente.
11 And she vowed a vow to the Lord, saying, O Lord God of Sabaoth, if thou welt indeed look upon the humiliation of thine handmaid, and remember me, and give to thine handmaid a man-child, then will I indeed dedicate him to thee till the day of his death; and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink, and no razor shall come upon his head.
E fez um voto, dizendo: “SENHOR dos exércitos, se olhares a aflição da tua serva, e te lembrares de mim, e não te esqueceres da tua serva, mas deres à tua serva um filho homem, eu o dedicarei ao SENHOR todos os dias da sua vida, e não subirá navalha sobre sua cabeça”.
12 And it came to pass, while she was long praying before the Lord, that Heli the priest marked her mouth.
E sucedeu que, enquanto ela continuava a orar diante do SENHOR, Eli observava a sua boca.
13 And she was speaking in her heart, and her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: and Heli accounted her a drunken woman.
Mas Ana falava em seu coração, e somente se moviam seus lábios, e sua voz não se ouvia; e pensava Eli que ela estava embriagada.
14 And the servant of Heli said to her, How long wilt thou be drunken? take away thy wine from thee, and go out from the presence of the Lord.
Então, disse-lhe Eli: “Até quando estarás embriagada? Afasta-te do vinho”.
15 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.
E Ana lhe respondeu: Não, meu senhor; eu sou uma mulher sofredora de espírito. Não bebi vinho nem bebida forte, mas tenho derramado minha alma diante do SENHOR.
16 Count not thy handmaid for a pestilent woman, for by reason of the abundance of my importunity I have continued [my prayer] until now.
Não consideres a tua serva como mulher ímpia, porque é da grandeza das minhas angústias e da minha aflição que tenho falado até agora.
17 And Heli answered and said to her, Go in peace: the God of Israel give thee all thy petition, which thou hast asked of him.
E Eli respondeu: “Vai em paz, e o Deus de Israel te conceda o pedido que lhe fizeste”.
18 And she said, Thine handmaid has found favour in thine 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.
E ela disse: “Que a tua serva ache favor diante de teus olhos”. E a mulher se foi seu caminho, e comeu, e não esteve mais triste.
19 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.
E levantando-se de manhã, adoraram diante do SENHOR, e voltaram, e vieram a sua casa em Ramá. E Elcana se deitou com sua mulher Ana, e o SENHOR se lembrou dela.
20 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.
E sucedeu que, corrido o tempo, depois de Ana haver concebido, deu à luz um filho, e pôs-lhe o nome de Samuel, dizendo: “Pois eu o pedi ao SENHOR”.
21 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.
Depois subiu o homem Elcana, com toda sua família, a sacrificar ao SENHOR o sacrifício costumeiro, e seu voto.
22 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.
Mas Ana não subiu, mas sim disse a seu marido: Eu não subirei até que o menino seja desmamado; para que o leve e seja apresentado diante do SENHOR, e fique ali para sempre.
23 And Helkana her husband said to her, Do that which is good in thine eyes, abide still until thou shalt have weaned him; but may the Lord establish that which comes out of thy mouth: and the woman tarried, and suckled her son until she had weaned him.
E Elcana seu marido lhe respondeu: Faze o que bem te parecer; fica-te até que o desmames; somente o SENHOR cumpra sua palavra. E ficou a mulher, e creu seu filho até que o desmamou.
24 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.
E depois que o desmamou, levou-o consigo, com três bezerros, e um efa de farinha, e uma vasilha de vinho, e trouxe-o à casa do SENHOR em Siló: e o menino era pequeno.
25 And they brought him before the Lord; and his father slew his offering which he offered from year to year to the Lord; and he brought near the child, and slew the calf; and Anna the mother of the child brought him to Heli.
E matando o bezerro, trouxeram o menino a Eli.
26 And she said, I pray thee, my lord, as thy soul liveth, I [am] the woman that stood in thy presence with thee while praying to the Lord.
E ela disse: Oh, senhor meu! Vive tua alma, senhor meu, eu sou aquela mulher que esteve aqui junto a ti orando ao SENHOR.
27 For this child I prayed; and the Lord has given me my request that I asked of him.
Por este menino orava, e o SENHOR me deu o que lhe pedi.
28 And I lend him to the Lord all his days that he lives, a loan to the Lord: and she said,
Eu, pois, o devolvo também ao SENHOR: todos os dias que viver, será do SENHOR. E adorou ali ao SENHOR.
