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:
| كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ رَامَتَايِمَ صُوفِيمَ مِنْ جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ ٱسْمُهُ أَلْقَانَةُ بْنُ يَرُوحَامَ بْنِ أَلِيهُوَ بْنِ تُوحُوَ بْنِ صُوفٍ. هُوَ أَفْرَايِمِيٌّ. | ١ |
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.
| وَلَهُ ٱمْرَأَتَانِ، ٱسْمُ ٱلْوَاحِدَةِ حَنَّةُ، وَٱسْمُ ٱلْأُخْرَى فَنِنَّةُ. وَكَانَ لِفَنِنَّةَ أَوْلَادٌ، وَأَمَّا حَنَّةُ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهَا أَوْلَادٌ. | ٢ |
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.
| وَكَانَ هَذَا ٱلرَّجُلُ يَصْعَدُ مِنْ مَدِينَتِهِ مِنْ سَنَةٍ إِلَى سَنَةٍ لِيَسْجُدَ وَيَذْبَحَ لِرَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ فِي شِيلُوهَ. وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ ٱبْنَا عَالِي: حُفْنِي وَفِينَحَاسُ، كَاهِنَا ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٣ |
4 Now the day came, and Elcana offered sacrifice, and gave to Phenenna his wife, and to all her sons and daughters, portions:
| وَلَمَّا كَانَ ٱلْوَقْتُ وَذَبَحَ أَلْقَانَةُ، أَعْطَى فَنِنَّةَ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ وَجَمِيعَ بَنِيهَا وَبَنَاتِهَا أَنْصِبَةً. | ٤ |
5 But to Anna he gave one portion with sorrow, because he loved Anna. And the Lord had shut up her womb.
| وَأَمَّا حَنَّةُ فَأَعْطَاهَا نَصِيبَ ٱثْنَيْنِ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يُحِبُّ حَنَّةَ. وَلَكِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ كَانَ قَدْ أَغْلَقَ رَحِمَهَا. | ٥ |
6 Her rival also afflicted her, and troubled her exceedingly, insomuch that she upbraided her, that the Lord had shut up her womb:
| وَكَانَتْ ضَرَّتُهَا تُغِيظُهَا أَيْضًا غَيْظًا لِأَجْلِ ٱلْمُرَاغَمَةِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ أَغْلَقَ رَحِمَهَا. | ٦ |
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.
| وَهَكَذَا صَارَ سَنَةً بَعْدَ سَنَةٍ، كُلَّمَا صَعِدَتْ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، هَكَذَا كَانَتْ تُغِيظُهَا. فَبَكَتْ وَلَمْ تَأْكُلْ. | ٧ |
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?
| فَقَالَ لَهَا أَلْقَانَةُ رَجُلُهَا: «يَا حَنَّةُ، لِمَاذَا تَبْكِينَ؟ وَلِمَاذَا لَا تَأْكُلِينَ؟ وَلِمَاذَا يَكْتَئِبُ قَلْبُكِ؟ أَمَا أَنَا خَيْرٌ لَكِ مِنْ عَشْرَةِ بَنِينَ؟». | ٨ |
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:
| فَقَامَتْ حَنَّةُ بَعْدَمَا أَكَلُوا فِي شِيلُوهَ وَبَعْدَمَا شَرِبُوا، وَعَالِي ٱلْكَاهِنُ جَالِسٌ عَلَى ٱلْكُرْسِيِّ عِنْدَ قَائِمَةِ هَيْكَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، | ٩ |
10 As Anna had her heart full of grief, she prayed to the Lord, shedding many tears,
| وَهِيَ مُرَّةُ ٱلنَّفْسِ. فَصَلَّتْ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، وَبَكَتْ بُكَاءً، | ١٠ |
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.
| وَنَذَرَتْ نَذْرًا وَقَالَتْ: «يَارَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، إِنْ نَظَرْتَ نَظَرًا إِلَى مَذَلَّةِ أَمَتِكَ، وَذَكَرْتَنِي وَلَمْ تَنْسَ أَمَتَكَ بَلْ أَعْطَيْتَ أَمَتَكَ زَرْعَ بَشَرٍ، فَإِنِّي أُعْطِيهِ لِلرَّبِّ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ، وَلَا يَعْلُو رَأْسَهُ مُوسَى». | ١١ |
12 And it came to pass, as she multiplied prayers before the Lord, that Heli observed her mouth.
| وَكَانَ إِذْ أَكْثَرَتِ ٱلصَّلَاةَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَعَالِي يُلَاحِظُ فَاهَا. | ١٢ |
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,
| فَإِنَّ حَنَّةَ كَانَتْ تَتَكَلَّمُ فِي قَلْبِهَا، وَشَفَتَاهَا فَقَطْ تَتَحَرَّكَانِ، وَصَوْتُهَا لَمْ يُسْمَعْ، أَنَّ عَالِيَ ظَنَّهَا سَكْرَى. | ١٣ |
14 And said to her: How long wilt thou, be drunk? digest a little the wine, of which thou hast taken too much.
| فَقَالَ لَهَا عَالِي: «حَتَّى مَتَى تَسْكَرِينَ؟ ٱنْزِعِي خَمْرَكِ عَنْكِ». | ١٤ |
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.
| فَأَجَابَتْ حَنَّةُ وَقَالَتْ: «لَا يَا سَيِّدِي. إِنِّي ٱمْرَأَةٌ حَزِينَةُ ٱلرُّوحِ وَلَمْ أَشْرَبْ خَمْرًا وَلَا مُسْكِرًا، بَلْ أَسْكُبُ نَفْسِي أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١٥ |
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.
| لَا تَحْسِبْ أَمَتَكَ ٱبْنَةَ بَلِيَّعَالَ، لِأَنِّي مِنْ كَثْرَةِ كُرْبَتِي وَغَيْظِي قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتُ إِلَى ٱلْآنَ». | ١٦ |
17 Then Heli said to her: Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition, which thou hast asked of him.
| فَأجَابَ عَالِي وَقَالَ: «ٱذْهَبِي بِسَلَامٍ، وَإِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُعْطِيكِ سُؤْلَكِ ٱلَّذِي سَأَلْتِهِ مِنْ لَدُنْهُ». | ١٧ |
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.
| فَقَالَتْ: «لِتَجِدْ جَارِيَتُكَ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ». ثُمَّ مَضَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ فِي طَرِيقِهَا وَأَكَلَتْ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ وَجْهُهَا بَعْدُ مُغَيَّرًا. | ١٨ |
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.
| وَبَكَّرُوا فِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ وَسَجَدُوا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَرَجَعُوا وَجَاءُوا إِلَى بَيْتِهِمْ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ. وَعَرَفَ أَلْقَانَةُ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ حَنَّةَ، وَٱلرَّبُّ ذَكَرَهَا. | ١٩ |
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.
| وَكَانَ فِي مَدَارِ ٱلسَّنَةِ أَنَّ حَنَّةَ حَبِلَتْ وَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا وَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ صَمُوئِيلَ قَائِلَةً: «لِأَنِّي مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ سَأَلْتُهُ». | ٢٠ |
21 And Elcana her husband went up, and all his house, to offer to the Lord the solemn sacrifice, and his vow.
| وَصَعِدَ ٱلرَّجُلُ أَلْقَانَةُ وَجَمِيعُ بَيْتِهِ لِيَذْبَحَ لِلرَّبِّ ٱلذَّبِيحَةَ ٱلسَّنَوِيَّةَ، وَنَذْرَهُ. | ٢١ |
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.
| وَلَكِنَّ حَنَّةَ لَمْ تَصْعَدْ لِأَنَّهَا قَالَتْ لِرَجُلِهَا: «مَتَى فُطِمَ ٱلصَّبِيُّ آتِي بِهِ لِيَتَرَاءَى أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَيُقِيمَ هُنَاكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ». | ٢٢ |
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.
| فَقَالَ لَهَا أَلْقَانَةُ رَجُلُهَا: «ٱعْمَلِي مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْكِ. ٱمْكُثِي حَتَّى تَفْطِمِيهِ. إِنَّمَا ٱلرَّبُّ يُقِيمُ كَلَامَهُ». فَمَكَثَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ وَأَرْضَعَتِ ٱبْنَهَا حَتَّى فَطَمَتْهُ. | ٢٣ |
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:
| ثُمَّ حِينَ فَطَمَتْهُ أَصْعَدَتْهُ مَعَهَا بِثَلَاثَةِ ثِيرَانٍ وَإِيفَةِ دَقِيقٍ وَزِقِّ خَمْرٍ، وَأَتَتْ بِهِ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي شِيلُوهَ وَٱلصَّبِيُّ صَغِيرٌ. | ٢٤ |
25 And they immolated a calf, and offered the child to Heli.
| فَذَبَحُوا ٱلثَّوْرَ وَجَاءُوا بِٱلصَّبِيِّ إِلَى عَالِي. | ٢٥ |
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.
| وَقَالَتْ: «أَسْأَلُكَ يَا سَيِّدِي. حَيَّةٌ هِيَ نَفْسُكَ يَا سَيِّدِي، أَنَا ٱلْمَرْأَةُ ٱلَّتِي وَقَفَتْ لَدَيْكَ هُنَا تُصَلِّي إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢٦ |
27 For this child did I pray, and the Lord hath granted me my petition, which I asked of him.
| لِأَجْلِ هَذَا ٱلصَّبِيِّ صَلَّيْتُ فَأَعْطَانِيَ ٱلرَّبُّ سُؤْلِيَ ٱلَّذِي سَأَلْتُهُ مِنْ لَدُنْهُ. | ٢٧ |
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:
| وَأَنَا أَيْضًا قَدْ أَعَرْتُهُ لِلرَّبِّ. جَمِيعَ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ هُوَ عَارِيَّةٌ لِلرَّبِّ». وَسَجَدَ هُنَاكَ لِلرَّبِّ. | ٢٨ |
