< 1 Samuel 2 >

1 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoices in the LORD, my horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over my enemies; because I rejoice in your salvation.
I Ana se pomoli i reèe: razveseli se srce moje u Gospodu; podiže se rog moj u Gospodu; otvoriše se usta moja na neprijatelje moje, jer sam radosna radi spasenja tvojega.
2 There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside you: neither is there any rock like our God.
Nema svetoga kao što je Gospod; jer nema drugoga osim tebe; i nema stijene kao što je Bog naš.
3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogance come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
Ne govorite više ponosito, i neka ne izlaze iz usta vaših rijeèi ohole; jer je Gospod Bog koji sve zna, i on udešava namjere.
4 The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
Luk junacima slomi se, i iznemogli opasaše se snagom.
5 They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren has born seven; and she that has many children is waxed feeble.
Koji bijahu siti, naimaju se za hljeb; a koji bijahu gladni, nijesu više; i nerotkinja rodi sedmoro, a koja imaše djece, iznemože.
6 The LORD kills, and makes alive: he brings down to the grave, and brings up. (Sheol h7585)
Gospod ubija, i oživljuje; spušta u grob, i izvlaèi. (Sheol h7585)
7 The LORD makes poor, and makes rich: he brings low, and lifts up.
Gospod siromaši, i bogati; ponižuje, i uzvišuje.
8 He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s, and he has set the world on them.
Siromaha podiže iz praha, i iz bunjišta uzvišuje ubogoga da ga posadi s knezovima, i daje im da naslijede prijesto slave; jer su Gospodnji temelji zemaljski, i na njima je osnovao vasiljenu.
9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
Saèuvaæe noge milijeh svojih, a bezbožnici æe umuknuti u mraku; jer svojom snagom neæe èovjek nadjaèati.
10 The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder on them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
Koji se suprote Gospodu, satræe se; na njih æe zagrmjeti s neba; Gospod æe suditi krajevima zemaljskim, i daæe snagu caru svojemu, i uzvisiæe rog pomazaniku svojemu.
11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister to the LORD before Eli the priest.
Potom otide Elkana u Ramat kuæi svojoj, a dijete služaše Gospodu pred Ilijem sveštenikom.
12 Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.
A sinovi Ilijevi bijahu nevaljali, i ne znadijahu za Gospoda.
13 And the priest’s custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest’s servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a meat hook of three teeth in his hand;
Jer u tijeh sveštenika bješe obièaj prema narodu: kad ko prinošaše žrtvu, dolažaše momak sveštenikov dok se kuhaše meso s viljuškama trokrakim u ruci,
14 And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the meat hook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites that came thither.
I zabadaše u sud, ili u kotao, ili u tavu, ili u lonac, i što se god nabode na viljuške uzimaše sveštenik. Tako èinjahu svemu Izrailju koji dolažaše u Silom.
15 Also before they burnt the fat, the priest’s servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of you, but raw.
Tako i prije nego bi zapalili salo, došao bi momak sveštenikov, te bi rekao èovjeku koji prinošaše žrtvu: daj meso da ispeèem svešteniku, jer ti neæu primiti mesa kuhana, nego sirovo.
16 And if any man said to him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much as your soul desires; then he would answer him, No; but you shall give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force.
Ako bi mu tada èovjek odgovorio: neka se prvo zapali salo, pa onda uzmi što ti god duša želi; on bi rekao: ne, nego daj sada, ako li ne daš, uzeæu silom.
17 Why the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.
I grijeh onijeh mladiæa bijaše vrlo velik pred Gospodom, jer ljudi ne marahu za prinos Gospodnji.
18 But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.
A Samuilo služaše pred Gospodom još dijete u opleæku lanenom.
19 Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
A mati mu naèini mali plašt i donese mu, i tako èinjaše svake godine dolazeæi s mužem svojim da prinese žrtvu godišnju.
20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give you seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went to their own home.
A Ilije blagoslovi Elkanu i ženu njegovu govoreæi: Gospod da ti da poroda od te žene za ovoga kojega je dala Gospodu! I otidoše u svoje mjesto.
21 And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.
I Gospod pohodi Anu, i ona zatrudnje i rodi tri sina i dvije kæeri. A dijete Samuilo rastijaše pred Gospodom.
22 Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did to all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
A Ilije bijaše vrlo star, i èu sve što èinjahu sinovi njegovi svemu Izrailju, i kako spavahu sa ženama koje dolažahu gomilama na vrata šatora od sastanka.
23 And he said to them, Why do you such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.
I govoraše im: zašto to radite? jer èujem zle rijeèi o vama od svega naroda.
24 No, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: you make the LORD’s people to transgress.
Nemojte, djeco moja; jer nije dobro što èujem; otpaðujete narod Gospodnji.
25 If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding they listened not to the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them.
Kad èovjek zgriješi èovjeku, sudiæe mu sudija; ali kad ko zgriješi Gospodu, ko æe moliti za nj? Ali ne poslušaše oca svojega, jer Gospod šæaše da ih ubije.
26 And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favor both with the LORD, and also with men.
A dijete Samuilo rastijaše i bijaše mio i Gospodu i ljudima.
27 And there came a man of God to Eli, and said to him, Thus says the LORD, Did I plainly appear to the house of your father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh’s house?
Tada doðe èovjek Božji k Iliju, i reèe mu: ovako veli Gospod: ne javih li se domu oca tvojega, kad bijahu u Misiru u kuæi Faraonovoj?
28 And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer on my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give to the house of your father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?
I izabrah ga izmeðu svijeh plemena Izrailjevijeh sebi za sveštenika da prinosi žrtve na oltaru mojem i da kadi kadom i nosi opleæak preda mnom, i dadoh domu oca tvojega sve žrtve ognjene sinova Izrailjevijeh?
29 Why kick you at my sacrifice and at my offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honor your sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the most chief of all the offerings of Israel my people?
Zašto gazite žrtvu moju i prinos moj, koje sam zapovjedio da se prinose u šatoru? i paziš sinove svoje veæma nego mene, da se gojite prvinama svijeh prinosa Izrailja naroda mojega?
30 Why the LORD God of Israel said, I said indeed that your house, and the house of your father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD says, Be it far from me; for them that honor me I will honor, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
Zato Gospod Bog Izrailjev kaže: rekao sam doista: dom tvoj i dom oca tvojega služiæe preda mnom dovijeka; ali kaže Gospod: neæe biti tako, jer one æu poštovati koji mene poštuju, a koji mene preziru, biæe prezreni.
31 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off your arm, and the arm of your father’s house, that there shall not be an old man in your house.
Gle, idu dani, kad æu odsjeæi tebi ruku i ruku domu oca tvojega, da ne bude starca u domu tvojem.
32 And you shall see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in your house for ever.
I vidjeæeš nevolju u šatoru mjesto svega dobra što je Gospod èinio Izrailju; neæe biti starca u domu tvojem dovijeka.
33 And the man of yours, whom I shall not cut off from my altar, shall be to consume your eyes, and to grieve your heart: and all the increase of your house shall die in the flower of their age.
A koga od tvojih ne istrijebim ispred oltara svojega, onaj æe ostati da ti èile oèi i da ti se cvijeli duša; i sav podmladak doma tvojega umiraæe u najboljim godinama.
34 And this shall be a sign to you, that shall come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.
I ovo da ti je znak što æe doæi na oba sina tvoja, na Ofnija i Finesa: u jedan dan poginuæe obojica.
35 And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before my anointed for ever.
A sebi æu podignuti sveštenika vjerna, on æe raditi po srcu mojemu i po duši mojoj; i sazidaæu mu tvrd dom, i on æe hoditi pred pomazanikom mojim vazda.
36 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in your house shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray you, into one of the priests’ offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.
I ko ostane od doma tvojega, doæi æe da mu se pokloni za srebrn novac i za komad hljeba, i govoriæe: primi me u kaku službu sveštenièku da imam komad hljeba.
