1 Samuel 1
1 Once there was a man from Ramathaim-zophim in the hill country of Ephraim. His name was Elkanah, son of Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, from the tribe of Ephraim.
Bijaše jedan èovjek iz Ramatajim-Sofima, iz gore Jefremove, kojemu ime bješe Elkana sin Jeroama, sina Eliva, sina Tova, sina Sufova, Efraæanin.
2 He had two wives. The name of the first wife was Hannah, and the name of the second, Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had none.
I imaše dvije žene, jednoj bješe ime Ana a drugoj Fenina; i Fenina imaše djece, a Ana nemaše djece.
3 Every year Elkanah would leave his town and go to worship and sacrifice to the Lord Almighty at Shiloh, where Eli's two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were the Lord's priests.
I iðaše taj èovjek svake godine iz svojega grada da se pokloni i prinese žrtvu Gospodu nad vojskama u Silom; a ondje bijahu dva sina Ilijeva, Ofnije i Fines, sveštenici Gospodnji.
4 Whenever Elkanah offered a sacrifice, he would give portions of it to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and daughters.
I jedan dan kad Elkana prinese žrtvu, dade Fenini ženi svojoj i svijem sinovima njezinijem i kæerima njezinijem po dio;
5 He would give an extra portion to Hannah, to show his love for her even though the Lord hadn't given her any children.
Ani pak dade dva dijela, jer ljubljaše Anu, a njoj Gospod bješe zatvorio matericu.
6 Her rival—the other wife—would taunt her badly to upset her because the Lord hadn't given her any children.
I protivnica je njezina vrlo cvijeljaše prkoseæi joj što joj Gospod bješe zatvorio matericu.
7 This went on for years. Whenever Hannah went to the Lord's Temple, Peninnah would taunt her until she cried and couldn't eat.
Tako èinjaše Elkana svake godine, i Ana hoðaše u dom Gospodnji, a ona je cvijeljaše, te plakaše i ne jeðaše.
8 “Hannah, what are you crying for?” her husband Elkanah would ask. “Why don't you eat? Why are you so upset? Aren't I better to you than ten sons?”
A Elkana muž njezin reèe joj jednom: Ana, zašto plaèeš? i zašto ne jedeš? i zašto je srce tvoje neveselo? Nijesam li ti ja bolji nego deset sinova?
9 One time when they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh, Hannah got up and went to the Temple. Eli the priest was sitting on his seat by the entrance to the Lord's Temple.
A Ana usta, pošto jedoše i piše u Silomu; a Ilije sveštenik sjeðaše na stolici na pragu doma Gospodnjega.
10 She was terribly upset, and prayed to the Lord as she cried and cried.
I ona tužna u srcu pomoli se Gospodu plaèuæi mnogo.
11 She made a vow, asking, “Lord Almighty, if only you would pay attention to the suffering of your servant and remember me, and not forget me but give me a son, then I will dedicate him to the Lord for his whole life, and no razor shall ever touch his head.”
I zavjetova se govoreæi: Gospode nad vojskama! ako pogledaš na muku sluškinje svoje, i opomeneš me se, i ne zaboraviš sluškinje svoje, nego daš sluškinji svojoj muško èedo, ja æu ga dati Gospodu dokle je god živ, i britva neæe prijeæi preko glave njegove.
12 As Hannah went on praying before the Lord, Eli watched her mouth.
I kad se ona dugo moljaše pred Gospodom, Ilije motraše na usta njezina.
13 Hannah was praying in her head, and though her lips were moving, her voice made no sound. Eli thought she must be drunk.
Ali Ana govoraše u srcu svojem, usta joj se samo micahu a glas joj se ne èujaše; stoga Ilije pomisli da je pijana.
14 “Do you have to come here drunk?” he asked. “Get rid of your wine!”
Pa joj reèe Ilije: dokle æeš biti pijana? otrijezni se od vina svojega.
15 “It's not that, my lord,” Hannah replied. “I'm a very miserable woman. I haven't been drinking wine or beer; I'm just pouring my heart out to the Lord.
Ali Ana odgovori i reèe: nijesam pijana, gospodaru, nego sam žena tužna u srcu; nijesam pila vina ni silovita piæa; nego izlijevam dušu svoju pred Gospodom.
16 Please don't think I'm a bad woman! I have been praying because of all my troubles and grief.”
Nemoj jednaèiti sluškinje svoje s nevaljalom ženom; jer sam od velike tuge i žalosti svoje govorila dosad.
17 “Go in peace, and may the God of Israel give you what you have asked him for,” Eli replied.
Tada odgovori Ilije i reèe: idi s mirom; a Bog Izrailjev da ti ispuni molbu, za što si ga molila.
18 “Thank you for your kindness to your servant,” she said. Then she went on her way, had something to eat, and she didn't look sad any more.
A ona reèe: neka naðe sluškinja tvoja milost pred tobom! Tada otide žena svojim putem, i jede, i lice joj ne bješe više kao prije.
19 Elkanah and Hannah got up early the next morning to worship the Lord and then they went home to Ramah. Elkanah made love to his wife Hannah, and the Lord honored her request.
I sjutradan uraniše, i pokloniše se Gospodu, i vratiše se i doðoše kuæi svojoj u Ramat. I Elkana pozna Anu ženu svoju, i Gospod se opomenu nje.
20 In due course she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, “Because I asked the Lord for him.”
I kad bi vrijeme pošto Ana zatrudnje rodi sina, i nadje mu ime Samuilo, jer, reèe, isprosih ga u Gospoda.
21 Elkanah and all his family went to make the yearly sacrifice to the Lord and to fulfill his vow.
Potom poðe onaj èovjek Elkana sa svijem domom svojim da prinese Gospodu godišnju žrtvu i zavjet svoj.
22 But Hannah did not go. She told her husband, “Once the boy is weaned I will take him to be presented to the Lord and to remain there forever.”
Ali Ana ne poðe, jer reèe mužu svojemu: dokle odojim dijete, onda æu ga odvesti da izide pred Gospoda i ostane ondje dovijeka.
23 “Do as you see fit,” her husband Elkanah replied. “Stay here until you have weaned him. May the Lord fulfill what he has said.” So Hannah stayed behind and nursed her son until she had weaned him.
I reèe joj Elkana muž njezin: èini kako ti drago; ostani dokle ga ne odojiš; samo da hoæe Gospod ispuniti rijeè svoju. I tako žena osta; i dojaše sina svojega dokle ga ne odoji.
24 When she had weaned him, Hannah took the boy with her, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour, and a wineskin containing wine. Even though the boy was young, she brought him to the Lord's Temple at Shiloh.
A kad ga odoji, odvede ga sa sobom uzevši tri teleta i efu brašna i mijeh vina, i uvede ga u dom Gospodnji u Silomu; a dijete bijaše još malo.
25 After they had slaughtered the bull, they presented the boy to Eli.
I zaklaše tele, i dovedoše dijete k Iliju.
26 “Please, my lord,” said Hannah, “as surely as you live, my lord, I am the woman who stood here with you praying to the Lord.
I ona reèe: èuj gospodaru, kako je živa duša tvoja, gospodaru, ja sam ona žena koja je stajala ovdje kod tebe moleæi se Gospodu.
27 I prayed for this boy, and since the Lord has given me what I asked him for,
Molih se za ovo dijete, i ispuni mi Gospod molbu moju, za što sam ga molila.
28 now I'm giving him to the Lord. As long as he lives he will be dedicated to the Lord.” And he worshiped the Lord there.
Zato i ja dajem njega Gospodu, dokle je god živ, da je dat Gospodu. I pokloniše se ondje Gospodu.
