1 Samuel 2
1 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart exulteth in Jehovah, my horn is lifted up in Jehovah; my mouth is opened wide over mine enemies; for I rejoice in thy salvation.
Nato se Ana pomoli ovako: “Kliče srce moje u Jahvi, raste snaga moja po Bogu mom. Šire mi se usta na dušmane moje, jer se radujem pomoći tvojoj.
2 There is none holy as Jehovah, for there is none beside thee, neither is there any rock like our God.
Nitko nije svet kao što je Jahve (jer nema nikoga osim tebe), i nema hridi kao što Bog je naš.
3 Do not multiply your words of pride, let not vain-glory come out of your mouth; For Jehovah is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
Ne govorite mnogo hvastavih riječi, neka ne izlazi drskost iz usta vaših, jer Jahve je sveznajući Bog, pravo on prosuđuje djela.
4 The bow of the mighty is broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
Lomi se luk junacima, nemoćni se snagom opasuju.
5 They that were full have hired themselves out for bread; and the hungry are [so] no more: Even the barren beareth seven, and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.
Nekoć siti sad se za kruh muče, nekoć gladni ne gladuju više. Nerotkinja rađa sedam puta, majka brojne djece svježinu izgubi.
Jahve daje smrt i život, ruši u Šeol i odande diže. (Sheol h7585)
7 Jehovah maketh poor, and maketh rich, he bringeth low, also he lifteth up:
Jahve čini uboga i bogata, obara čovjeka i uzvisuje.
8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust; from the dung-hill he lifteth up the needy, To set [him] among nobles; and he maketh them inherit a throne of glory; For the pillars of the earth are Jehovah's, and he hath set the world upon them.
Diže slabića iz prašine, iz bunjišta izvlači uboga, da ih posadi s knezovima i da im odredi počasna mjesta. Jer Jahvini su stupovi zemlje, na njih je stavio ovaj svijet.
9 He keepeth the feet of his saints, but the wicked are silenced in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
Korake čuva svojih vjernika, zlikovce stiže propast u mraku (svojom snagom čovjek ne stječe pobjede).
10 They that strive with Jehovah shall be broken to pieces; in the heavens will he thunder upon them. Jehovah will judge the ends of the earth; and he will give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
Koji se protive Jahvi, padaju, Svevišnji grmi s nebesa. Jahve sudi međama zemlje, daje silu svojemu kralju, uzdiže snagu pomazanika svoga.”
11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the boy ministered to Jehovah in the presence of Eli the priest.
Potom se Ana vrati u Ramu, a dječak ostade da služi Jahvi pod okom svećenika Elija.
12 Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not Jehovah.
A Elijevi sinovi bijahu nevaljali ljudi jer nisu marili za Jahvu
13 And the priests' custom with the people was, when any man sacrificed a sacrifice, the priest's servant came, when the flesh was cooked, with a flesh-hook of three prongs in his hand;
ni za prava svećenika nasuprot narodu: kad bi tko prinosio žrtvu, došao bi sluga svećenikov, dok se meso još kuhalo, s trorogom vilicom u ruci
14 and he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or cauldron, or pot; the priest took of it all that the flesh-hook brought up. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites that came there.
i zabadao njom u kotlić ili u lonac, u tavu ili u zdjelu, i što god bi se nabolo na vilicu, uzimao je svećenik sebi. Tako su činili svim Izraelcima što su dolazili onamo, u Šilo.
15 Even before they burned the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest, and he will not accept sodden flesh of thee, but raw.
Tako i prije nego bi se spalilo salo, došao bi sluga svećenikov i rekao čovjeku koji je prinosio žrtvu: “Daj mi mesa da ispečem svećeniku! On neće od tebe kuhana mesa nego samo sirovo.”
16 If the man said to him, They will immediately burn the fat entire, then take as thy soul desires; he would say [to him], No, but thou shalt give [it] now; and if not, I will take [it] by force.
Ako bi mu čovjek tada rekao: “Neka se najprije spali salo, a onda uzmi što ti duša želi”, on bi odgovorio: “Ne, nego daj odmah! Ako ne daš, uzet ću silom.”
17 And the sin of the young men was very great before Jehovah, for men despised the offering of Jehovah.
Grijeh je mladića bio vrlo velik pred Jahvom, jer su ljudi prezirali žrtvu koja se prinosila Jahvi.
18 And Samuel ministered before Jehovah, a boy girded with a linen ephod.
A Samuel služaše pred Jahvom, još dijete u oplećku lanenom.
19 And his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to sacrifice the yearly sacrifice.
Mati bi mu njegova napravila dolamicu i donosila mu je svake godine kad bi dolazila s mužem svojim da prinese godišnju žrtvu.
20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, Jehovah give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to Jehovah. And they went to their own home.
A Eli bi blagoslovio Elkanu i njegovu ženu govoreći: “Neka ti Jahve dade poroda od te žene na uzdarje za dar što ga je dala Jahvi.” Nato bi se vraćali svojoj kući.
21 So Jehovah visited Hannah, and she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters. And the boy Samuel grew before Jehovah.
Jahve pohodi Anu i ona zatrudnje i rodi još tri sina i dvije kćeri. A mladi je Samuel rastao pred Jahvom.
22 And Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons were doing to all Israel, and that they lay with the women that served at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
Eli je bio već vrlo star, ali je ipak čuo sve što su njegovi sinovi činili svemu Izraelu.
23 And he said to them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil deeds from all this people.
I on im reče: “Zašto radite takvo što da o tome moram slušati od svega ovog naroda?
24 No, my sons, for it is no good report that I hear: ye make Jehovah's people transgress.
Nemojte tako, sinovi moji! Nisu dobri glasovi što ih čujem ... Sablažnjujete narod Jahvin.
25 If one man sin against another, God will judge him; but if a man sin against Jehovah, who shall intreat for him? But they hearkened not to the voice of their father, for Jehovah was minded to slay them.
Ako čovjek zgriješi čovjeku, Bog će prosuditi. Ali ako čovjek zgriješi Jahvi, tko će se zauzeti za njega?” Ali sinovi ne poslušaše glasa oca svojega, jer je Jahve odlučio da ih pogubi.
26 And the boy Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with Jehovah and also with men.
A mladi je Samuel sve više rastao u dobi i mudrosti i pred Jahvom i pred ljudima.
27 And there came a man of God to Eli and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah: Did I plainly reveal myself to the house of thy father when they were in Egypt, in Pharaoh's house,
Uto dođe jedan Božji čovjek k Eliju i reče mu: “Ovako govori Jahve: 'Nisam li se jasno objavio domu oca tvojega kad su bili u Egiptu, robovi u kući faraonovoj?
28 and choose him out of all the tribes of Israel, to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear the ephod before me? and I gave unto the house of thy father all the offerings by fire of the children of Israel.
Odabrao sam ih između svih plemena Izraelovih da mi budu svećenici, da se uspinju na moj žrtvenik, da prinose žrtve paljenice i da nose oplećak preda mnom: i dao sam domu oca tvojega sve paljene žrtve sinova Izraelovih.
29 Wherefore do ye trample upon my sacrifice and upon mine oblation which I have commanded [in my] habitation? And thou honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the primest of all the oblations of Israel my people.
Zašto gledaš zavidnim okom žrtvu i prinos što sam ih odredio za svoj Dom? I zašto paziš sinove svoje više nego mene, toveći ih najboljim dijelovima svih žrtvenih prinosa naroda moga Izraela?
30 Wherefore Jehovah the God of Israel saith, I said indeed, Thy house and the house of thy father should walk before me for ever. But now Jehovah saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
Zato sam - riječ je Jahve, Boga Izraelova - rekao doduše da će dom tvoj i dom oca tvojega stupati preda mnom dovijeka, ali sada - riječ je Jahvina - neka je to daleko od mene! Jer ja častim one koji mene časte, a koji mene preziru, bit će osramoćeni.
31 Behold, days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thy house.
Gle, dolaze dani kad ću odsjeći mišicu tvoju i mišicu doma oca tvojega, tako da više neće biti starca u tvom domu.
32 And thou shalt see an oppressor [in my] habitation, amidst all the good that shall be done to Israel; and there shall not be an old man in thy house for ever.
Ti ćeš kivnim okom gledati na sve dobro kojim ću obasuti Izraela, i nikada više neće biti starca u tvom domu.
33 And the man of thine [whom] I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to cause thine eyes to fail and to grieve thy soul; and all the increase of thy house shall die in their vigour.
Zadržat ću ipak nekoga od tvojih kod oltara svoga, samo zato da mu sahnu oči i vene duša njegova, ali sve mnoštvo doma tvoga poginut će od ljudskoga mača.
34 And this shall be the sign to thee, which shall come upon thy two sons, upon Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die, both of them.
Znak će ti biti ono što će stići oba tvoja sina, Hofnija i Pinhasa: obojica će poginuti istoga dana.
35 And I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, [who] shall do according to what is in my heart and in my mind; and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed continually.
Ja ću sebi podići vjerna svećenika koji će raditi po mom srcu i po mojoj želji i njemu ću sazdati trajan dom, i on će svagda stupati pred pomazanikom mojim.
36 And it shall come to pass [that] every one that is left of thy house shall come to crouch to him for a small piece of silver and for a cake of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priestly offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread.
A koji god ostane od tvoga doma, dolazit će da mu se pokloni i da izmoli srebrn novčić ili hljeb kruha i kazat će: 'Molim te, primi me u kakvu god službu svećeničku, da imam zalogaj kruha.'”
