1 Samuel 2
1 And Hannah prays and says: “My heart has exulted in YHWH, My horn has been high in YHWH, My mouth has been large over my enemies, For I have rejoiced in Your salvation.
Nato se Ana pomoli ovako: “Kliče srce moje u Jahvi, raste snaga moja po Bogu mom. Šire mi se usta na dušmane moje, jer se radujem pomoći tvojoj.
2 There is none holy like YHWH, For there is none except You, And there is no rock like our God.
Nitko nije svet kao što je Jahve (jer nema nikoga osim tebe), i nema hridi kao što Bog je naš.
3 You do not multiply—you speak haughtily—The old saying goes out from your mouth, For YHWH [is] a God of knowledge, And actions are weighed by Him.
Ne govorite mnogo hvastavih riječi, neka ne izlazi drskost iz usta vaših, jer Jahve je sveznajući Bog, pravo on prosuđuje djela.
4 Bows of the mighty are broken, And the stumbling have girded on strength.
Lomi se luk junacima, nemoćni se snagom opasuju.
5 The satiated hired themselves for bread, And the hungry have ceased. While the barren has borne seven, And she abounding with sons has languished.
Nekoć siti sad se za kruh muče, nekoć gladni ne gladuju više. Nerotkinja rađa sedam puta, majka brojne djece svježinu izgubi.
Jahve daje smrt i život, ruši u Šeol i odande diže. (Sheol h7585)
7 YHWH dispossesses, and He makes rich, He makes low, indeed, He makes high.
Jahve čini uboga i bogata, obara čovjeka i uzvisuje.
8 He raises the poor from the dust, He lifts up the needy from a dunghill, To cause [them] to sit with nobles, Indeed, He causes them to inherit a throne of glory, For the fixtures of earth [are] of YHWH, And He sets the habitable world on them.
Diže slabića iz prašine, iz bunjišta izvlači uboga, da ih posadi s knezovima i da im odredi počasna mjesta. Jer Jahvini su stupovi zemlje, na njih je stavio ovaj svijet.
9 He keeps the feet of His saints, And the wicked are silent in darkness, For man does not become mighty by power.
Korake čuva svojih vjernika, zlikovce stiže propast u mraku (svojom snagom čovjek ne stječe pobjede).
10 YHWH—His adversaries are broken down, He thunders against them in the heavens: YHWH judges the ends of the earth, And gives strength to His king, And exalts the horn of His anointed.”
Koji se protive Jahvi, padaju, Svevišnji grmi s nebesa. Jahve sudi međama zemlje, daje silu svojemu kralju, uzdiže snagu pomazanika svoga.”
11 And Elkanah goes to Ramath, to his house, and the youth has been serving YHWH [in] the presence of Eli the priest;
Potom se Ana vrati u Ramu, a dječak ostade da služi Jahvi pod okom svećenika Elija.
12 and the sons of Eli [are] sons of worthlessness, they have not known YHWH.
A Elijevi sinovi bijahu nevaljali ljudi jer nisu marili za Jahvu
13 And the custom of the priests with the people [is that when] any man is sacrificing a sacrifice, then the servant of the priest has come in when the flesh is boiling, and [with] the hook of three teeth in his hand,
ni za prava svećenika nasuprot narodu: kad bi tko prinosio žrtvu, došao bi sluga svećenikov, dok se meso još kuhalo, s trorogom vilicom u ruci
14 and has struck [it] into the pan, or kettle, or cauldron, or pot; all that the hook brings up the priest takes for himself; thus they do to all Israel who are coming in there in Shiloh.
i zabadao njom u kotlić ili u lonac, u tavu ili u zdjelu, i što god bi se nabolo na vilicu, uzimao je svećenik sebi. Tako su činili svim Izraelcima što su dolazili onamo, u Šilo.
15 Also, before they make incense with the fat, then the priest’s servant has come in and said to the man who is sacrificing, “Give flesh to roast for the priest, and he does not take boiled flesh from you, but raw”;
Tako i prije nego bi se spalilo salo, došao bi sluga svećenikov i rekao čovjeku koji je prinosio žrtvu: “Daj mi mesa da ispečem svećeniku! On neće od tebe kuhana mesa nego samo sirovo.”
16 and the man says to him, “Let them surely make incense with the fat according to the [custom] today, then take to yourself as your soul desires”; and he has said to him, “Surely you give now; and if not—I have taken by strength.”
Ako bi mu čovjek tada rekao: “Neka se najprije spali salo, a onda uzmi što ti duša želi”, on bi odgovorio: “Ne, nego daj odmah! Ako ne daš, uzet ću silom.”
17 And the sin of the young men is very great [in] the presence of YHWH, for the men have despised the offering of YHWH.
Grijeh je mladića bio vrlo velik pred Jahvom, jer su ljudi prezirali žrtvu koja se prinosila Jahvi.
18 And Samuel is ministering [in] the presence of YHWH, a youth girt [with] an ephod of linen;
A Samuel služaše pred Jahvom, još dijete u oplećku lanenom.
19 and his mother makes a small upper coat for him, and she has brought it up to him from time to time, in her coming up with her husband to sacrifice the sacrifice of the time.
Mati bi mu njegova napravila dolamicu i donosila mu je svake godine kad bi dolazila s mužem svojim da prinese godišnju žrtvu.
20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, “YHWH appoints seed of this woman for you, for the petition which she asked for YHWH”; and they have gone to their place.
A Eli bi blagoslovio Elkanu i njegovu ženu govoreći: “Neka ti Jahve dade poroda od te žene na uzdarje za dar što ga je dala Jahvi.” Nato bi se vraćali svojoj kući.
21 When YHWH has looked after Hannah, then she conceives and bears three sons and two daughters; and the youth Samuel grows up with YHWH.
Jahve pohodi Anu i ona zatrudnje i rodi još tri sina i dvije kćeri. A mladi je Samuel rastao pred Jahvom.
22 And Eli [is] very old, and has heard all that his sons do to all Israel, and how that they lie with the women who are assembling [at] the opening of the Tent of Meeting,
Eli je bio već vrlo star, ali je ipak čuo sve što su njegovi sinovi činili svemu Izraelu.
23 and he says to them, “Why do you do things like these? For I am hearing of your evil words from all the people—these!
I on im reče: “Zašto radite takvo što da o tome moram slušati od svega ovog naroda?
24 No, my sons; for the report which I am hearing is not good, causing the people of YHWH to transgress.
Nemojte tako, sinovi moji! Nisu dobri glasovi što ih čujem ... Sablažnjujete narod Jahvin.
25 If a man sins against a man, then God has judged him; but if a man sins against YHWH, who prays for him?” And they do not listen to the voice of their father, though YHWH has delighted to put them to death.
Ako čovjek zgriješi čovjeku, Bog će prosuditi. Ali ako čovjek zgriješi Jahvi, tko će se zauzeti za njega?” Ali sinovi ne poslušaše glasa oca svojega, jer je Jahve odlučio da ih pogubi.
26 And the youth Samuel is going on and growing up, and [is] good with both YHWH, and also with men.
A mladi je Samuel sve više rastao u dobi i mudrosti i pred Jahvom i pred ljudima.
27 And a man of God comes to Eli and says to him, “Thus said YHWH: Was I really revealed to the house of your father in their being in Egypt, before Pharaoh’s house,
Uto dođe jedan Božji čovjek k Eliju i reče mu: “Ovako govori Jahve: 'Nisam li se jasno objavio domu oca tvojega kad su bili u Egiptu, robovi u kući faraonovoj?
28 even to choose him out of all the tribes of Israel for a priest for Myself, to go up on My altar, to make incense, to bear an ephod before Me, and I give to the house of your father all the fire-offerings of the sons of Israel?
Odabrao sam ih između svih plemena Izraelovih da mi budu svećenici, da se uspinju na moj žrtvenik, da prinose žrtve paljenice i da nose oplećak preda mnom: i dao sam domu oca tvojega sve paljene žrtve sinova Izraelovih.
29 Why do you kick at My sacrifice and at My offering, which I commanded [in] My habitation, and honor your sons above Me, to make yourselves fat from the first part of every offering of Israel, of My people?
Zašto gledaš zavidnim okom žrtvu i prinos što sam ih odredio za svoj Dom? I zašto paziš sinove svoje više nego mene, toveći ih najboljim dijelovima svih žrtvenih prinosa naroda moga Izraela?
30 Therefore—a declaration of YHWH, God of Israel—I certainly said, Your house and the house of your father walk up and down before Me for all time; and now—a declaration of YHWH—Far be it from Me! For he who is honoring Me, I honor, and those despising Me, are lightly esteemed.
Zato sam - riječ je Jahve, Boga Izraelova - rekao doduše da će dom tvoj i dom oca tvojega stupati preda mnom dovijeka, ali sada - riječ je Jahvina - neka je to daleko od mene! Jer ja častim one koji mene časte, a koji mene preziru, bit će osramoćeni.
31 Behold, days [are] coming, and I have cut off your arm, and the arm of the house of your father, that an old man is not in your house;
Gle, dolaze dani kad ću odsjeći mišicu tvoju i mišicu doma oca tvojega, tako da više neće biti starca u tvom domu.
32 and you have beheld an adversary [in My] habitation, in all that He does good with Israel, and there is not an old man in your house all the days.
Ti ćeš kivnim okom gledati na sve dobro kojim ću obasuti Izraela, i nikada više neće biti starca u tvom domu.
33 And the man of yours I do not cut off from My altar—[My purpose is] to consume your eyes, and to grieve your soul; and all the increase of men [in] your house die;
Zadržat ću ipak nekoga od tvojih kod oltara svoga, samo zato da mu sahnu oči i vene duša njegova, ali sve mnoštvo doma tvoga poginut će od ljudskoga mača.
34 and this [is] the sign to you that comes to your two sons, to Hophni and Phinehas—in one day both of them die;
Znak će ti biti ono što će stići oba tvoja sina, Hofnija i Pinhasa: obojica će poginuti istoga dana.
35 and I have raised up a steadfast priest for Myself; he does as in My heart and in My soul; and I have built a steadfast house for him, and he has walked up and down before My anointed all the days;
Ja ću sebi podići vjerna svećenika koji će raditi po mom srcu i po mojoj želji i njemu ću sazdati trajan dom, i on će svagda stupati pred pomazanikom mojim.
36 and it has been, everyone who is left in your house comes to bow himself to him for a wage of silver and a cake of bread, and has said, Please admit me to one of the priest’s offices, to eat a morsel of bread.”
A koji god ostane od tvoga doma, dolazit će da mu se pokloni i da izmoli srebrn novčić ili hljeb kruha i kazat će: 'Molim te, primi me u kakvu god službu svećeničku, da imam zalogaj kruha.'”
