Kings I 2
1 My heart is established in the Lord, my horn is exalted in my God; my mouth is enlarged over my enemies, I have rejoiced 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 For there is none holy as the Lord, and there is none righteous as our God; there is none holy besides you.
Nema svetoga kao što je Gospod; jer nema drugoga osim tebe; i nema stijene kao što je Bog naš.
3 Boast not, and utter not high things; let not high-sounding words come out of your mouth, for the Lord [is] a God of knowledge, and God prepares his own designs.
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 bow of the mighty has waxed feeble, and the weak have girded themselves with strength.
Luk junacima slomi se, i iznemogli opasaše se snagom.
5 They that were full of bread are brought low; and the hungry have forsaken the land; for the barren has born seven, and she that abounded in children has waxed feeble.
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 makes poor, and makes rich; he brings low, and lifts up.
Gospod siromaši, i bogati; ponižuje, i uzvišuje.
8 He lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises the needy from the dunghill; to seat him with the princes of the people, and causing them to inherit the throne of glory:
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 granting his petition to him that prays; and he blesses the years of the righteous, for by strength can’t man prevail.
Saèuvaæe noge milijeh svojih, a bezbožnici æe umuknuti u mraku; jer svojom snagom neæe èovjek nadjaèati.
10 The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and 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 and departed to Armathaim: and the child ministered in the presence of the Lord before Heli the priest.
Potom otide Elkana u Ramat kuæi svojoj, a dijete služaše Gospodu pred Ilijem sveštenikom.
12 And the sons of Heli the priest [were] evil sons, not knowing the Lord.
A sinovi Ilijevi bijahu nevaljali, i ne znadijahu za Gospoda.
13 And the priest's claim from every one of the people that sacrificed [was this: ] the servant of the priest came when the flesh was in seething, and a flesh-hook of three teeth [was] in his hand.
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 he struck it into the great cauldron, or into the brazen vessel, or into the pot, and whatever came up with the flesh-hook, the priest took for himself: so they did to all Israel that came to sacrifice to the Lord in Selom.
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 And before the fat was burnt for a sweet savour, the servant of the priest would come, and say to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest, and I will by no means take of you sodden flesh out of the cauldron.
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] the man that sacrificed said, First let the fat be burnt, as it is fit, and take for yourself of all things which your soul desires: then he would say, Nay, for you shall give it me now; and if not 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 So the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord, for they set at nothing the offering of the Lord.
I grijeh onijeh mladiæa bijaše vrlo velik pred Gospodom, jer ljudi ne marahu za prinos Gospodnji.
18 And Samuel ministered before the Lord, a child girded with a linen ephod.
A Samuilo služaše pred Gospodom još dijete u opleæku lanenom.
19 And his mother made him a little doublet, and brought it to him from year to year, in her going up in company with her husband to offer the yearly 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 Heli blessed Helcana and his wife, saying The Lord recompense to you seed of this woman, in return for the loan which you have lent to the Lord: and the man returned to his place.
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 And the Lord visited Anna, and she bore yet three sons, and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the Lord.
I Gospod pohodi Anu, i ona zatrudnje i rodi tri sina i dvije kæeri. A dijete Samuilo rastijaše pred Gospodom.
22 And Heli [was] very old, and he heard what his sons did to the children of Israel.
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 And he said to them, Why do you according to this thing, which I hear from the mouth of all the people of the Lord?
I govoraše im: zašto to radite? jer èujem zle rijeèi o vama od svega naroda.
24 Nay [my] sons, for the report which I hear [is] not good; do not so, for the reports which I hear [are] not good, so that the people do not serve God.
Nemojte, djeco moja; jer nije dobro što èujem; otpaðujete narod Gospodnji.
25 If a man should at all sin against another, then shall they pray for him to the Lord; but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall entreat for him? But they listened not to the voice of their father, because the Lord would by all means destroy them.
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 child Samuel advanced, and was in favour with God and with men.
A dijete Samuilo rastijaše i bijaše mio i Gospodu i ljudima.
27 And a man of God came to Heli, and said, Thus says the Lord, I plainly revealed myself to the house of your father, when they were servants in Egypt to the house of Pharao.
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 I chose the house of your father out of all the tribes of Israel to minister to me in the priest's office, to go up to my altar, and to burn incense, and to wear an ephod. And I gave to the house of your father all the offerings by fire of the children of Israel for food.
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 And therefore have you looked upon my incense-offering and my meat-offering with a shameless eye, and have honoured your sons above me, so that they should bless themselves with the first fruits of every sacrifice of Israel before me?
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 thus says the Lord God of Israel, I said, Your house and the house of your father shall pass before me for ever: but now the Lord says, That be far from me; for I will only honour them that honour me, and he that sets me at nothing shall be despised.
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 come when I will destroy your seed and the seed of your father's house.
Gle, idu dani, kad æu odsjeæi tebi ruku i ruku domu oca tvojega, da ne bude starca u domu tvojem.
32 And you shall not have an old man in my house for ever.
I vidjeæeš nevolju u šatoru mjesto svega dobra što je Gospod èinio Izrailju; neæe biti starca u domu tvojem dovijeka.
33 And [if] I do not destroy a man of your from my altar, [it shall be] that his eyes may fail and his soul may perish; and every one that remains in your house shall fall 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 which shall come upon your two sons Ophni and Phinees shall be a sign to you; in one day they shall both die.
I ovo da ti je znak što æe doæi na oba sina tvoja, na Ofnija i Finesa: u jedan dan poginuæe obojica.
35 And I will raise up to myself a faithful priest, who shall do all that is in my heart and in my soul; and I will build him a sure house, and he shall walk before my Christ for ever.
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 it shall come to pass that he that survives in your house, shall come to do obeisance before him for a little piece of silver, saying, Put me into one of your priest's offices to eat 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.
