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.
Беше један човек из Раматајим-Софима, из горе Јефремове, коме име беше Елкана син Јероама, сина Елива, сина Това, сина Суфовог, Ефраћанин.
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.
И имаше две жене, једној беше име Ана а другој Фенина; и Фенина имаше деце, а Ана немаше деце.
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.
И иђаше тај човек сваке године из свог града да се поклони и принесе жртву Господу над војскама у Силом; а онде беху два сина Илијева, Офније и Финес, свештеници Господњи.
4 And the day came, and Helkana sacrificed, and gave portions to his wife Phennana and her children.
И један дан кад Елкана принесе жртву, даде Фенини жени својој и свим синовима њеним и кћерима њеним по део;
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.
Ани пак даде два дела, јер љубљаше Ану, а њој Господ беше затворио материцу.
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.
И противница је њена врло цвељаше пркосећи јој што јој Господ беше затворио материцу.
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.
Тако чињаше Елкана сваке године, и Ана хођаше у дом Господњи, а она је цвељаше, те плакаше и не јеђаше.
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 you that you weep? and why do you not eat? and why does your heart strike you? [am] I not better to you than ten children?
А Елкана муж њен рече јој једном: Ана, зашто плачеш? И зашто не једеш? И зашто је срце твоје невесело? Нисам ли ти ја бољи него десет синова?
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.
А Ана уста, пошто једоше и пише у Силому; а Илије свештеник сеђаше на столици, на прагу дома Господњег.
10 And she [was] very much grieved in spirit, and prayed to the Lord, and wept abundantly.
И она, тужна у срцу помоли се Господу плачући много.
11 And she vowed a vow to the Lord, saying, O Lord God of Sabaoth, if you welt indeed look upon the humiliation of your handmaid, and remember me, and give to your handmaid a boy, then will I indeed dedicate him to you till the day of his death; and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink, and no razor shall come upon his head.
И заветова се говорећи: Господе над војскама! Ако погледаш на муку слушкиње своје, и опоменеш ме се, и не заборавиш слушкиње своје, него даш слушкињи својој мушко чедо, ја ћу га дати Господу докле је год жив, и бритва неће прећи преко главе његове.
12 And it came to pass, while she was long praying before the Lord, that Heli the priest marked her mouth.
И кад се она дуго мољаше пред Господом, Илије мотраше на уста њена.
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.
Али Ана говораше у срцу свом, уста јој се само мицаху а глас јој се не чујаше; стога Илије помисли да је пијана.
14 And the servant of Heli said to her, How long will you be drunken? take away your wine from you, and go out from the presence of the Lord.
Па јој рече Илије: Докле ћеш бити пијана? Отрезни се од вина свог.
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.
Али Ана одговори и рече: Нисам пијана, господару, него сам жена тужна у срцу; нисам пила вина ни силовитог пића; него изливам душу своју пред Господом.
16 Count not your handmaid for a pestilent woman, for by reason of the abundance of my importunity I have continued [my prayer] until now.
Немој једначити слушкиње своје с неваљалом женом; јер сам од велике туге и жалости своје говорила досад.
17 And Heli answered and said to her, Go in peace: the God of Israel give you all your petition, which you have asked of him.
Тада одговори Илије и рече: Иди с миром; а Бог Израиљев да ти испуни молбу, за шта си Га молила.
18 And she said, Your handmaid has found favour in your 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.
А она рече: Нека нађе слушкиња твоја милост пред тобом! Тада отиде жена својим путем, и једе, и лице јој не беше више као пре.
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.
И сутрадан уранише, и поклонише се Господу, и вратише се и дођоше кући својој у Рамат. И Елкана позна Ану жену своју, и Господ се опомену ње.
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.
И кад би време, пошто Ана затрудне, роди сина и наде му име Самуило, јер, рече, испросих га у Господа.
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.
Потом пође онај човек Елкана са свим домом својим да принесе Господу годишњу жртву и завет свој.
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.
Али Ана не пође, јер рече мужу свом: Докле одојим дете, онда ћу га одвести да изађе пред Господа и остане онде до века.
23 And Helkana her husband said to her, Do that which is good in your eyes, abide still until you shall have weaned him; but may the Lord establish that which comes out of your mouth: and the woman tarried, and suckled her son until she had weaned him.
И рече јој Елкана, муж њен: Чини како ти драго; остани докле год не одојиш; само да хоће Господ испунити реч своју. И тако жена оста; и дојаше сина свог докле га не одоји.
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.
А кад га одоји, одведе га са собом узевши три телета и ефу брашна и мех вина, и уведе га у дом Господњи у Силому; а дете беше још мало.
25 And they brought him before the Lord; and his father killed his offering which he offered from year to year to the Lord; and he brought near the child, and killed the calf; and Anna the mother of the child brought him to Heli.
И заклаше теле и доведоше дете к Илију.
26 And she said, I pray you, my lord, as your soul lives, I [am] the woman that stood in your presence with you while praying to the Lord.
И она рече: Чуј господару, како је жива душа твоја, господару, ја сам она жена која је стајала овде код тебе молећи се Господу.
27 For this child I prayed; and the Lord has given me my request that I asked of him.
Молих се за ово дете, и испуни ми Господ молбу моју, за шта сам Га молила.
28 And I lend him to the Lord all his days that he lives, a loan to the Lord: and she said,
Зато и ја дајем њега Господу, докле је год жив, да је дат Господу. И поклонише се онде Господу.
