Kings I 1
1 There was a man of Armathaim Sipha, of mount Ephraim, and his name [was] Helkana, a son of Jeremeel the son of Elias the son of Thoke, in Nasib Ephraim.
Ada seorang laki-laki dari Ramataim-Zofim, dari pegunungan Efraim, namanya Elkana bin Yeroham bin Elihu bin Tohu bin Zuf, seorang Efraim.
2 And he [had] two wives; the name of the one [was] Anna, and the name of the second Phennana. And Phennana had children, but Anna had no child.
Orang ini mempunyai dua isteri: yang seorang bernama Hana dan yang lain bernama Penina; Penina mempunyai anak, tetapi Hana tidak.
3 And the man went up from year to year from his city, from Armathaim, to worship and sacrifice to the Lord God of Sabaoth at Selom: and [there were] Heli and his two sons Ophni and Phinees, the priests of the Lord.
Orang itu dari tahun ke tahun pergi meninggalkan kotanya untuk sujud menyembah dan mempersembahkan korban kepada TUHAN semesta alam di Silo. Di sana yang menjadi imam TUHAN ialah kedua anak Eli, Hofni dan Pinehas.
4 And the day came, and Helkana sacrificed, and gave portions to his wife Phennana and her children.
Pada hari Elkana mempersembahkan korban, diberikannyalah kepada Penina, isterinya, dan kepada semua anaknya yang laki-laki dan perempuan masing-masing sebagian.
5 And to Anna he gave a prime portion, because she had no child, only Helkana loved Anna more than the other; but the Lord [had] closed her womb.
Meskipun ia mengasihi Hana, ia memberikan kepada Hana hanya satu bagian, sebab TUHAN telah menutup kandungannya.
6 For the Lord gave her no child in her affliction, and according to the despondency of her affliction; and she was dispirited on this account, that the Lord shut up her womb so as not to give her a child.
Tetapi madunya selalu menyakiti hatinya supaya ia gusar, karena TUHAN telah menutup kandungannya.
7 So she did year by year, in going up to the house of the Lord; and she was dispirited, and wept, and did not eat.
Demikianlah terjadi dari tahun ke tahun; setiap kali Hana pergi ke rumah TUHAN, Penina menyakiti hati Hana, sehingga ia menangis dan tidak mau makan.
8 And Helkana her husband said to her, Anna: and she said to him, Here [am] I, my lord: and he said to her, What ails you that you weep? and why do you not eat? and why does your heart strike you? [am] I not better to you than ten children?
Lalu Elkana, suaminya, berkata kepadanya: "Hana, mengapa engkau menangis dan mengapa engkau tidak mau makan? Mengapa hatimu sedih? Bukankah aku lebih berharga bagimu dari pada sepuluh anak laki-laki?"
9 And Anna rose up after they had eaten in Selom, and stood before the Lord: and Heli the priest [was] on a seat by the threshold of the temple of the Lord.
Pada suatu kali, setelah mereka habis makan dan minum di Silo, berdirilah Hana, sedang imam Eli duduk di kursi dekat tiang pintu bait suci TUHAN,
10 And she [was] very much grieved in spirit, and prayed to the Lord, and wept abundantly.
dan dengan hati pedih ia berdoa kepada TUHAN sambil menangis tersedu-sedu.
11 And she vowed a vow to the Lord, saying, O Lord God of Sabaoth, if you welt indeed look upon the humiliation of your handmaid, and remember me, and give to your handmaid a boy, then will I indeed dedicate him to you till the day of his death; and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink, and no razor shall come upon his head.
Kemudian bernazarlah ia, katanya: "TUHAN semesta alam, jika sungguh-sungguh Engkau memperhatikan sengsara hamba-Mu ini dan mengingat kepadaku dan tidak melupakan hamba-Mu ini, tetapi memberikan kepada hamba-Mu ini seorang anak laki-laki, maka aku akan memberikan dia kepada TUHAN untuk seumur hidupnya dan pisau cukur tidak akan menyentuh kepalanya."
12 And it came to pass, while she was long praying before the Lord, that Heli the priest marked her mouth.
Ketika perempuan itu terus-menerus berdoa di hadapan TUHAN, maka Eli mengamat-amati mulut perempuan itu;
13 And she was speaking in her heart, and her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: and Heli accounted her a drunken woman.
dan karena Hana berkata-kata dalam hatinya dan hanya bibirnya saja bergerak-gerak, tetapi suaranya tidak kedengaran, maka Eli menyangka perempuan itu mabuk.
14 And the servant of Heli said to her, How long will you be drunken? take away your wine from you, and go out from the presence of the Lord.
Lalu kata Eli kepadanya: "Berapa lama lagi engkau berlaku sebagai orang mabuk? Lepaskanlah dirimu dari pada mabukmu."
15 And Anna answered and said, Nay, my lord, [I live] in a hard day, and I have not drunk wine or strong drink, and I pour out my soul before the Lord.
Tetapi Hana menjawab: "Bukan, tuanku, aku seorang perempuan yang sangat bersusah hati; anggur ataupun minuman yang memabukkan tidak kuminum, melainkan aku mencurahkan isi hatiku di hadapan TUHAN.
16 Count not your handmaid for a pestilent woman, for by reason of the abundance of my importunity I have continued [my prayer] until now.
Janganlah anggap hambamu ini seorang perempuan dursila; sebab karena besarnya cemas dan sakit hati aku berbicara demikian lama."
17 And Heli answered and said to her, Go in peace: the God of Israel give you all your petition, which you have asked of him.
Jawab Eli: "Pergilah dengan selamat, dan Allah Israel akan memberikan kepadamu apa yang engkau minta dari pada-Nya."
18 And she said, Your handmaid has found favor in your eyes: and the woman went her way, and entered into her lodging, and ate and drank with her husband, and her countenance was no more sad.
Sesudah itu berkatalah perempuan itu: "Biarlah hambamu ini mendapat belas kasihan dari padamu." Lalu keluarlah perempuan itu, ia mau makan dan mukanya tidak muram lagi.
19 And they rise early in the morning, and worship the Lord, and they go their way: and Helkana went into his house at Armathaim, and knew his wife Anna; and the Lord remembered her, and she conceived.
Keesokan harinya bangunlah mereka itu pagi-pagi, lalu sujud menyembah di hadapan TUHAN; kemudian pulanglah mereka ke rumahnya di Rama. Ketika Elkana bersetubuh dengan Hana, isterinya, TUHAN ingat kepadanya.
20 And it came to pass when the time was come, that she brought forth a son, and called his name Samuel, and said, Because I asked him of the Lord God of Sabaoth.
Maka setahun kemudian mengandunglah Hana dan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki. Ia menamai anak itu Samuel, sebab katanya: "Aku telah memintanya dari pada TUHAN."
21 And the man Helkana and all his house went up to offer in Selom the yearly sacrifice, and his vows, and all the tithes of his land.
Elkana, laki-laki itu, pergi dengan seisi rumahnya mempersembahkan korban sembelihan tahunan dan korban nazarnya kepada TUHAN.
22 But Anna did not go up with him, for she said to her husband, [I will not go up] until the child goes up, when I have weaned him, and he shall be presented before the Lord, and he shall abide there continually.
Tetapi Hana tidak ikut pergi, sebab katanya kepada suaminya: "Nanti apabila anak itu cerai susu, aku akan mengantarkan dia, maka ia akan menghadap ke hadirat TUHAN dan tinggal di sana seumur hidupnya."
23 And Helkana her husband said to her, Do that which is good in your eyes, abide still until you shall have weaned him; but may the Lord establish that which comes out of your mouth: and the woman tarried, and suckled her son until she had weaned him.
Kemudian Elkana, suaminya itu, berkata kepadanya: "Perbuatlah apa yang kaupandang baik; tinggallah sampai engkau menyapih dia; hanya, TUHAN kiranya menepati janji-Nya." Jadi tinggallah perempuan itu dan menyusui anaknya sampai disapihnya.
24 And she went up with him to Selom with a calf of three years old, and loaves, and an ephah of fine flour, and a bottle of wine: and she entered into the house of the Lord in Selom, and the child with them.
Setelah perempuan itu menyapih anaknya, dibawanyalah dia, dengan seekor lembu jantan yang berumur tiga tahun, satu efa tepung dan sebuyung anggur, lalu diantarkannya ke dalam rumah TUHAN di Silo. Waktu itu masih kecil betul kanak-kanak itu.
25 And they brought him before the Lord; and his father killed his offering which he offered from year to year to the Lord; and he brought near the child, and killed the calf; and Anna the mother of the child brought him to Heli.
Setelah mereka menyembelih lembu, mereka mengantarkan kanak-kanak itu kepada Eli;
26 And she said, I pray you, my lord, as your soul lives, I [am] the woman that stood in your presence with you while praying to the Lord.
lalu kata perempuan itu: "Mohon bicara tuanku, demi tuanku hidup, akulah perempuan yang dahulu berdiri di sini dekat tuanku untuk berdoa kepada TUHAN.
27 For this child I prayed; and the Lord has given me my request that I asked of him.
Untuk mendapat anak inilah aku berdoa, dan TUHAN telah memberikan kepadaku, apa yang kuminta dari pada-Nya.
28 And I lend him to the Lord all his days that he lives, a loan to the Lord: and she said,
Maka akupun menyerahkannya kepada TUHAN; seumur hidup terserahlah ia kiranya kepada TUHAN." Lalu sujudlah mereka di sana menyembah kepada TUHAN.
