< 1 Samuel 1 >

1 Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim, a Zuphite of the hill country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Toah, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
Беше један човек из Раматајим-Софима, из горе Јефремове, коме име беше Елкана син Јероама, сина Елива, сина Това, сина Суфовог, Ефраћанин.
2 And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other, Peninnah. And Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
И имаше две жене, једној беше име Ана а другој Фенина; и Фенина имаше деце, а Ана немаше деце.
3 This man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to YHWH of hosts in Shiloh. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests of YHWH, were there.
И иђаше тај човек сваке године из свог града да се поклони и принесе жртву Господу над војскама у Силом; а онде беху два сина Илијева, Офније и Финес, свештеници Господњи.
4 When the day came for Elkanah to sacrifice, he would give portions to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and her daughters.
И један дан кад Елкана принесе жртву, даде Фенини жени својој и свим синовима њеним и кћерима њеним по део;
5 But to Hannah he would give a double portion because he loved Hannah. Now YHWH had kept her from conceiving.
Ани пак даде два дела, јер љубљаше Ану, а њој Господ беше затворио материцу.
6 And because YHWH kept her from conceiving, her rival used to taunt her severely, to irritate her.
И противница је њена врло цвељаше пркосећи јој што јој Господ беше затворио материцу.
7 And this went on year after year, as often as she went up to the house of YHWH, she taunted her; therefore she would weep and refuse to eat.
Тако чињаше Елкана сваке године, и Ана хођаше у дом Господњи, а она је цвељаше, те плакаше и не јеђаше.
8 And her husband Elkanah said to her, "Hannah, why are you weeping? And why are you not eating? And why are you so sad? Am I not better to you than ten sons?"
А Елкана муж њен рече јој једном: Ана, зашто плачеш? И зашто не једеш? И зашто је срце твоје невесело? Нисам ли ти ја бољи него десет синова?
9 So Hannah got up after eating and drinking in Shiloh, and stood before YHWH. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the temple of YHWH.
А Ана уста, пошто једоше и пише у Силому; а Илије свештеник сеђаше на столици, на прагу дома Господњег.
10 And she was greatly distressed and prayed to YHWH, and wept uncontrollably.
И она, тужна у срцу помоли се Господу плачући много.
11 And she vowed a vow and said, "YHWH of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your servant and remember me and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a son, then I will set him before you as a Nazirite until the day of his death. And he will not drink wine or strong drink, and no razor will come on his head."
И заветова се говорећи: Господе над војскама! Ако погледаш на муку слушкиње своје, и опоменеш ме се, и не заборавиш слушкиње своје, него даш слушкињи својој мушко чедо, ја ћу га дати Господу докле је год жив, и бритва неће прећи преко главе његове.
12 Now it happened, as she continued praying before YHWH, that Eli observed her mouth.
И кад се она дуго мољаше пред Господом, Илије мотраше на уста њена.
13 And she was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk.
Али Ана говораше у срцу свом, уста јој се само мицаху а глас јој се не чујаше; стога Илије помисли да је пијана.
14 So Eli said to her, "How long will you make yourself drunk? Put away your wine, and go from before YHWH."
Па јој рече Илије: Докле ћеш бити пијана? Отрезни се од вина свог.
15 And Hannah answered, "No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I poured out my soul before YHWH.
Али Ана одговори и рече: Нисам пијана, господару, него сам жена тужна у срцу; нисам пила вина ни силовитог пића; него изливам душу своју пред Господом.
16 Do not count your servant as a worthless woman; for I have been speaking out of the abundance of my distress and my anguish."
Немој једначити слушкиње своје с неваљалом женом; јер сам од велике туге и жалости своје говорила досад.
17 Then Eli answered, "Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of him."
Тада одговори Илије и рече: Иди с миром; а Бог Израиљев да ти испуни молбу, за шта си Га молила.
18 She said, "Let your servant find favor in your sight." So the woman went her way, and entered her quarters, and ate; and her facial expression wasn't sad any more.
А она рече: Нека нађе слушкиња твоја милост пред тобом! Тада отиде жена својим путем, и једе, и лице јој не беше више као пре.
19 They rose up in the morning early, and worshiped before YHWH, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and YHWH remembered her.
И сутрадан уранише, и поклонише се Господу, и вратише се и дођоше кући својој у Рамат. И Елкана позна Ану жену своју, и Господ се опомену ње.
20 It happened, when the time had come, that Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she named him Samuel, saying, "Because I have asked him of YHWH."
И кад би време, пошто Ана затрудне, роди сина и наде му име Самуило, јер, рече, испросих га у Господа.
21 The man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to YHWH the yearly sacrifice, and to redeem his vow and all the tithes of his land.
Потом пође онај човек Елкана са свим домом својим да принесе Господу годишњу жртву и завет свој.
22 But Hannah did not go up; for she said to her husband, "Not until the child is weaned; then I will bring him, that he may appear before YHWH, and stay there forever."
Али Ана не пође, јер рече мужу свом: Докле одојим дете, онда ћу га одвести да изађе пред Господа и остане онде до века.
23 Elkanah her husband said to her, "Do what seems good in your eyes. Wait until you have weaned him; only may YHWH establish what you have said." So the woman waited and nursed her son, until she weaned him.
И рече јој Елкана, муж њен: Чини како ти драго; остани докле год не одојиш; само да хоће Господ испунити реч своју. И тако жена оста; и дојаше сина свог докле га не одоји.
24 Then she took him to Shiloh along with a three-year old bull, and bread, and an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine. And she came to the house of YHWH in Shiloh, and the boy was with them. And they went before YHWH and his father slaughtered the sacrifice, which he did annually to YHWH. Then he brought the boy,
А кад га одоји, одведе га са собом узевши три телета и ефу брашна и мех вина, и уведе га у дом Господњи у Силому; а дете беше још мало.
25 and he slaughtered the bull. And Hannah, the mother of the boy, brought him to Eli.
И заклаше теле и доведоше дете к Илију.
26 She said, "Oh, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to YHWH.
И она рече: Чуј господару, како је жива душа твоја, господару, ја сам она жена која је стајала овде код тебе молећи се Господу.
27 For this child I prayed; and YHWH has given me my petition which I asked of him.
Молих се за ово дете, и испуни ми Господ молбу моју, за шта сам Га молила.
28 Therefore also I have lent him to YHWH. As long as he lives he is lent to YHWH." Then she left him there, and she worshipped before YHWH.
Зато и ја дајем њега Господу, докле је год жив, да је дат Господу. И поклонише се онде Господу.
