1 Samuel 1
1 There was a man of Ramathaimsophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elcana, the son of Jeroham, the son of Eliu, the son of Thohu, the son of Suph, an Ephraimite:
Adalah seorang laki-laki, namanya Elkana, dari suku Efraim. Ia tinggal di kota Rama, di daerah pegunungan Efraim. Elkana adalah anak Yeroham dan cucu Elihu. Ia tergolong keluarga Tohu, cabang dari marga Zuf.
2 And he had two wives, the name of one was Anna, and the name of the other Phenenna. Phenenna had children: but Anna had no children.
Elkana mempunyai dua istri, Hana dan Penina. Penina mempunyai anak, tetapi Hana tidak.
3 And this man went up out of his city upon the appointed days, to adore and to offer sacrifice to the Lord of hosts in Silo. And the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were there priests of the Lord.
Setiap tahun Elkana pergi dari Rama untuk beribadat di Silo dan mempersembahkan kurban kepada TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa. Yang menjadi imam TUHAN di Silo ialah Hofni dan Pinehas, anak-anak Eli.
4 Now the day came, and Elcana offered sacrifice, and gave to Phenenna his wife, and to all her sons and daughters, portions:
Setiap kali jika Elkana mempersembahkan kurban, Penina dan semua anaknya masing-masing diberinya sebagian dari daging kurban itu.
5 But to Anna he gave one portion with sorrow, because he loved Anna. And the Lord had shut up her womb.
Tetapi Hana diberinya sebagian saja sebab TUHAN tidak memberi anak kepadanya. Meskipun begitu Elkana sangat mencintai Hana.
6 Her rival also afflicted her, and troubled her exceedingly, insomuch that she upbraided her, that the Lord had shut up her womb:
Hana selalu disakiti hatinya dan dihina oleh Penina, madunya itu, karena TUHAN tidak memberi anak kepadanya.
7 And thus she did every year, when the time returned that they went up to the temple of the Lord: and thus she provoked her: but Anna wept, and did not eat.
Hal itu terjadi dari tahun ke tahun; kalau mereka pergi ke Rumah TUHAN, selalu Hana disakiti hatinya oleh Penina. Seringkali Hana menangis dan tidak mau makan karena ia dihina.
8 Then Elcana her husband said to her: Anna, why weepest thou? and why dost thou not eat? And why dost thou afflict thy heart? Am not I better to thee than ten children?
Lalu setiap kali pula Elkana, suaminya, bertanya, "Mengapa kau menangis Hana? Mengapa kau tak mau makan dan terus sedih saja? Bukankah aku lebih berharga bagimu daripada sepuluh anak laki-laki?"
9 So Anna arose after she had eaten and drunk in Silo: And Heli the priest sitting upon a stool, before the door of the temple of the Lord:
Pada suatu hari sesudah mereka makan di Rumah TUHAN di Silo, Hana bangkit dari meja makan. Saat itu Imam Eli yang juga ada di Rumah TUHAN, sedang duduk di kursinya dekat pintu. Dengan sangat sedih Hana berdoa kepada TUHAN sambil menangis tersedu-sedu.
10 As Anna had her heart full of grief, she prayed to the Lord, shedding many tears,
11 And she made a vow, saying: O Lord, of hosts, if thou wilt look down on the affliction of thy servant, and wilt be mindful of me, and not forget thy handmaid, and wilt give to thy servant a man child: I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.
Kemudian Hana mengucapkan janji, katanya, "TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa, perhatikanlah hamba-Mu ini! Lihatlah sengsara hamba. Ingatlah kepada hamba dan jangan lupakan hamba! Jika Engkau memberikan kepada hamba seorang anak laki-laki, hamba berjanji akan memberikan dia kepada-Mu seumur hidupnya. Hamba berjanji juga bahwa rambutnya tidak pernah akan dipotong."
12 And it came to pass, as she multiplied prayers before the Lord, that Heli observed her mouth.
Lama sekali Hana berdoa, dan Eli memperhatikan mulut wanita itu.
13 Now Anna spoke in her heart, and only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard at all. Heli therefore thought her to be drunk,
Hana berdoa dalam hati, jadi hanya bibirnya yang komat-kamit, tetapi suaranya tidak terdengar. Sebab itu ia disangka mabuk oleh Eli.
14 And said to her: How long wilt thou, be drunk? digest a little the wine, of which thou hast taken too much.
Maka Eli pun berkata kepadanya, "Masakan kau mabuk di sini! Jangan minum anggur lagi!"
15 Anna answering, said: Not so, my lord: for I am an exceeding unhappy woman, and have drunk neither wine nor any strong drink, but I have poured out my soul before the Lord.
Tetapi Hana menjawab, "Aku tidak mabuk, Pak, aku sama sekali tidak minum anggur! Aku putus asa, dan sedang berdoa menceritakan segala penderitaanku kepada TUHAN.
16 Count not thy handmaid for one of the daughters of Belial: for out of the abundance of my sorrow and grief have I spoken till now.
Janganlah aku ini dianggap perempuan jalang. Aku berdoa seperti ini karena aku sangat sedih."
17 Then Heli said to her: Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition, which thou hast asked of him.
Lalu kata Eli, "Kalau begitu pulanglah dengan selamat. Semoga Allah Israel mengabulkan permintaanmu."
18 And she said: Would to God thy handmaid may find grace in thy eyes. So the woman went on her way, and ate, and her countenance was no more changed.
Jawab Hana, "Semoga aku mendapat restu Bapak." Kemudian ia pergi, lalu makan; dan ia tidak sedih lagi.
19 And they rose in the morning, and worshipped before the Lord: and they returned, and came into their house at Ramatha. And Elcana knew Anna his wife: and the Lord remembered her.
Keesokan harinya Elkana dan keluarganya bangun pagi-pagi, dan setelah beribadat kepada TUHAN, pulanglah mereka ke Rama. Maka Elkana bersetubuh dengan Hana, istrinya itu, dan TUHAN mengabulkan doa Hana.
20 And it came to pass when the time was come about, Anna conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel: because she had asked him of the Lord.
Wanita itu hamil dan melahirkan anak laki-laki. Ia menamakannya Samuel, katanya, "Aku telah memintanya dari TUHAN."
21 And Elcana her husband went up, and all his house, to offer to the Lord the solemn sacrifice, and his vow.
Tibalah waktunya Elkana dan keluarganya pergi ke Silo lagi untuk mempersembahkan kurban tahunan kepada TUHAN. Selain itu Elkana telah berjanji untuk mempersembahkan kurban yang khusus.
22 But Anna went not up: for she said to her husband: I will not go till the child be weaned, and till I may carry him, that he may appear before the Lord, and may abide always there.
Tetapi kali ini Hana tidak ikut. Katanya kepada suaminya, "Nanti setelah disapih, Samuel akan kuantarkan ke Rumah TUHAN, dan ia akan tinggal di sana seumur hidupnya."
23 And Elcana her husband said to her: Do what seemeth good to thee, and stay till thou wean him: and I pray that the Lord may fulfill his word. So the woman stayed at home, and gave her son suck, till she weaned him.
Jawab Elkana, "Baiklah, lakukanlah apa yang kaupandang baik; tinggallah di rumah sampai tiba waktunya engkau menyapih anak kita. Dan semoga TUHAN membuat janjimu menjadi kenyataan." Jadi, Hana tinggal di rumah sampai tiba waktunya anaknya disapih.
24 And after she had weaned him, she carried him with her, with three calves, and three bushels of flour, and a bottle of wine, and she brought him to the house of the Lord in Silo. Now the child was as yet very young:
Sesudah Samuel disapih, ia diantarkan ibunya ke Rumah TUHAN di Silo. Pada waktu itu ia masih sangat kecil. Hana membawa pula seekor sapi jantan yang berumur tiga tahun, gandum sepuluh kilogram, dan sebuah kantong kulit yang penuh berisi anggur.
25 And they immolated a calf, and offered the child to Heli.
Sapi itu dipotong, lalu Samuel diantarkan kepada Eli.
26 And Anna said: I beseech thee, my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord: I am that woman who stood before thee here praying to the Lord.
Hana berkata kepada Eli, "Maaf, Pak. Masih ingatkah Bapak kepadaku? Aku ini wanita yang pernah Bapak lihat berdiri di sini, sedang berdoa kepada TUHAN.
27 For this child did I pray, and the Lord hath granted me my petition, which I asked of him.
Anak inilah yang kuminta dari TUHAN. Doaku telah dikabulkan,
28 Therefore I also have lent him to the Lord all the days of his life, he shall be lent to the Lord. And they adored the Lord there. And Anna prayed, and said:
dan karena itu anak ini kuserahkan untuk menjadi milik TUHAN seumur hidupnya." Setelah itu mereka beribadat kepada TUHAN.
