1 Samuel 1
1 There was a certain man from Ramah of Zophim, on Mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
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 one was Hannah, and the name of the second was Peninnah. And Peninnah had sons. But Hannah did not have children.
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 this man went up from his city, on the established days, so that he might adore and sacrifice to the Lord of hosts at Shiloh. Now the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests of the Lord, were in that place.
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 Then the day arrived, and Elkanah immolated. And he gave portions to his wife Peninnah, and to all her sons and daughters.
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 But to Hannah he gave one portion with sorrow. For he loved Hannah, 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 And her rival afflicted her and vehemently distressed her, to a great extent, for she rebuked her that the Lord had closed her womb.
E sua concorrente a irritava, irando-a e entristecendo-a, porque o SENHOR havia fechado sua madre.
7 And she did so every year, when the time returned for them to ascend to the temple of the Lord. And she provoked her in this way. And so, she wept and did not take food.
E assim fazia cada ano: quando subia à casa do SENHOR, irritava assim à outra; pelo qual ela chorava, e não comia.
8 Therefore, her husband Elkanah said to her: “Hannah, why are you weeping? And why do you not eat? And for what reason do you afflict your heart? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”
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 so, after she ate and drank at Shiloh, Hannah rose up. And Eli, the priest, was sitting on the seat before the door 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 since Hannah was bitter in soul, she prayed to the Lord, weeping greatly.
Ela com amargura de alma orou ao SENHOR, e chorou abundantemente.
11 And she made a vow, saying, “O Lord of hosts, if, in looking with favor, you will see the affliction of your servant and will remember me, and will not forget your handmaid, and if you will give to your servant a male child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall pass over 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 Then it happened that, while she multiplied prayers before the Lord, Eli observed her mouth.
E sucedeu que, enquanto ela continuava a orar diante do SENHOR, Eli observava a sua boca.
13 For Hannah was speaking in her heart, and only her lips moved, and her voice was barely heard. Therefore, Eli considered her to be drunk,
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 so he said to her: “How long will you be inebriated? You should take only a little wine, but instead you are drenched.”
Então, disse-lhe Eli: “Até quando estarás embriagada? Afasta-te do vinho”.
15 Responding, Hannah said: “By no means, my lord. For I am an exceedingly unhappy woman, and I drank neither wine, nor anything that can inebriate. Instead, I have poured out my soul in the sight of 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 You should not repute your handmaid as one of the daughters of Belial. For I have been speaking from the abundance of my sorrow and grief, even 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 Then Eli said to her: “Go in peace. And may the God of Israel grant to you your petition, which you have begged of him.”
E Eli respondeu: “Vai em paz, e o Deus de Israel te conceda o pedido que lhe fizeste”.
18 And she said, “I wish that your handmaid may find grace in your eyes.” And the woman went on her way, and she ate, and her countenance was no longer changed for the worse.
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 rose up in the morning, and they worshipped before the Lord. And they returned and arrived at their own house at Ramah. Then Elkanah knew his wife Hannah. And the Lord remembered her.
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 happened that, in the course of days, Hannah conceived and bore a son. And she called his name Samuel, because she had requested him from the Lord.
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 Now her husband Elkanah ascended with his entire house, so that he might immolate to the Lord a solemn sacrifice, with his vow.
Depois subiu o homem Elcana, com toda sua família, a sacrificar ao SENHOR o sacrifício costumeiro, e seu voto.
22 But Hannah did not go up. For she said to her husband, “I will not go, until the infant has been weaned, and until I may lead him, so that he may appear before the sight of the Lord, and may remain always there.”
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 her husband Elkanah said to her: “Do what seems good to you, and stay until you wean him. And I pray that the Lord may fulfill his word.” Therefore, the woman remained at home, and she breastfed her son, until she withdrew him from milk.
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 after she had weaned him, she brought him with her, along with three calves, and three measures of flour, and a small bottle of wine, and she led him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh. But the boy was still a young child.
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 immolated a calf, and they presented the boy to Eli.
E matando o bezerro, trouxeram o menino a Eli.
26 And Hannah said: “I beg you, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord: I am that woman, who stood before you here, 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 I prayed for this child, and the Lord granted to me my petition, which I asked of him.
Por este menino orava, e o SENHOR me deu o que lhe pedi.
28 Because of this, I have also lent him to the Lord, for all the days when he shall be lent to the Lord.” And they adored the Lord in that place. And Hannah prayed, and she said:
Eu, pois, o devolvo também ao SENHOR: todos os dias que viver, será do SENHOR. E adorou ali ao SENHOR.
