1 Samuel 1
1 And there was a certain man, of Ramathaim-zuphi, of the hill country of Ephraim, —whose name, was Elkanah, son of Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, an Ephraimite;
Bio jedan čovjek iz Ramatajima, Sufovac iz Efrajimove gore, po imenu Elkana, sin Jerohama, sina Elihua, sina Tohua, sina Sufova, Efrajimljanin.
2 and, he, had two wives, the name of the one, Hannah, and, the name of the other, Peninnah, —and Peninnah had children, but, Hannah, had no children.
Imao je dvije žene: ime jednoj bijaše Ana, a drugoj bijaše ime Penina. Penina je imala djece, a Ana ih nije imala.
3 So then that man went up, out of his city, from time to time, to worship and to sacrifice unto Yahweh of hosts, in Shiloh, —and, there, were the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests unto Yahweh.
Taj je čovjek svake godine uzlazio iz svoga grada da se pokloni i prinese žrtvu Jahvi Sebaotu u Šilu. Ondje su bila dva sina Elijeva, Hofni i Pinhas, kao svećenici Jahvini.
4 And, when the day came for Elkanah to sacrifice, he used to give, to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions;
Jednoga dana Elkana prinese žrtvu. On je obično svojoj ženi Penini i svim njezinim sinovima i kćerima davao više žrtvenih dijelova,
5 and, unto Hannah, used he to give one portion, —howbeit, Hannah, he loved, although, Yahweh, had restrained her from having children.
a Ani je davao samo jedan dio, premda je više ljubio Anu, ali Jahve joj ne bijaše dao od srca poroda.
6 And her rival used even to cause her great vexation, for the sake of provoking her, —because Yahweh had restrained her from having children.
Uz to joj je suparnica njezina zanovijetala da je ponizi što joj Jahve ne bijaše dao od srca poroda.
7 And, thus, used she to do, year by year, whenever she went up to the house of Yahweh, thus, used she to vex her, —and she wept, and would not eat.
Tako je bivalo svake godine kad god bi polazili u Dom Jahvin: Penina je zanovijetala Ani. Ana je stoga plakala i nije htjela jesti.
8 So Elkanah her husband said to her—Hannah! wherefore shouldst thou weep? and wherefore wilt thou not eat? and wherefore should thy heart be sad? Am, I, not better to thee, than ten sons?
Tada joj reče Elkana, njezin muž: “Zašto plačeš, Ana? I zašto ne jedeš? Zašto ti je srce rastuženo? Nisam li ti ja vredniji nego deset sinova?”
9 And Hannah rose up, after she had eaten in Shiloh, and after she had drunk, —and, Eli the priest, was sitting upon his chair, by the door-post of the temple of Yahweh;
Ali Ana ustade, pošto su jeli i pili u sobi, i stupi pred Jahvu - a svećenik Eli sjeđaše na stolici na pragu svetišta Jahvina.
10 and, she being in bitterness of soul, prayed unto Yahweh, and, wept sore.
I ojađena u duši pomoli se Ana Jahvi, plačući gorko.
11 And she vowed a vow, and said—Yahweh of hosts! If thou wilt, look, upon the humiliation of thy handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thy handmaid, but wilt give unto thy handmaid a man-child, then will I give him unto Yahweh, all the days of his life, and no, razor, shall come upon his head.
I zavjetova se ovako: “Jahve Sebaote! Ako pogledaš na nevolju službenice svoje i opomeneš se mene i ne zaboraviš službenice svoje te dadeš službenici svojoj muško čedo, ja ću ga darovati Jahvi za sve dane njegova života i britva neće prijeći preko glave njegove.”
12 And so it was, as she continued praying before Yahweh, that Eli was watching her mouth.
Tako se ona dugo molila pred Jahvom, a Eli je motrio usta njezina.
13 But as for, Hannah, she, was speaking in her heart, only her lips, were moving, but, her voice, could not be heard, —so Eli thought she had been drunken.
Ana govoraše u srcu; samo se usne njezine micahu, a glas joj se nije čuo. Zato Eli pomisli da je pijana.
14 And Eli said unto her, How long, wilt thou be, drunken? Put away thy wine from thee.
I reče joj Eli: “Dokle ćeš biti pijana? Otrijezni se od vina što je u tebi!”
15 And Hannah responded and said—Nay! my lord; A woman depressed in spirit, am I: neither wine nor strong drink, have I drunk, —but I poured out my soul, before Yahweh.
Ali Ana odgovori i reče: “Nisam pijana, gospodaru, nego sam velika nesretnica. Nisam pila ni vina ni opojna pića nego izlijevam dušu svoju pred Jahvom.
16 Do not count thy handmaid for an abandoned woman, —for, out of the abundance of my grief and my vexation, have I spoken, hitherto.
Ne sudi službenicu svoju kao ženu nevaljalu, jer sam od preteške tuge i žalosti tako dugo molila.”
17 Then responded Eli, and said—Go and prosper! And the, God of Israel, grant thy petition which thou hast asked of him!
Tada joj Eli odgovori ovako: “Pođi u miru! A Bog Izraelov neka ti ispuni molitvu kojom si ga molila.”
18 And she said: Let thy serving-woman find favour, in thine eyes. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and, her countenance, was sad no longer.
A ona reče: “Neka službenica tvoja nađe milost u očima tvojim!” I žena ode svojim putem: jela je i lice joj nije više bilo tužno kao i prije.
19 And they rose up early in the morning, and worshipped before Yahweh, and returned, and entered their own house, in Ramah, —and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and Yahweh remembered her.
Sutradan uraniše i pokloniše se Jahvi, a onda se vratiše i dođoše svojoj kući u Ramu. Elkana pozna Anu, ženu svoju, a Jahve je se opomenu.
20 And so it was, when the days had come round during which Hannah was with child, that she bare a son, —and called his name Samuel ["Heard of God"], Because, of Yahweh, I asked him.
Ana zatrudnje i, kad bi vrijeme, rodi sina koga nazva imenom Samuel, “jer sam ga”, reče, “izmolila od Jahve”.
21 And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up, to offer unto Yahweh the yearly sacrifice, and [each] his own vow.
Poslije godine dana uziđe njezin muž Elkana sa svim domom svojim da prinese Jahvi godišnju žrtvu i da izvrši zavjet.
22 But, Hannah, went not up, —for she said to her husband—[Not] till the boy is weaned, then will I take him, and he shall appear before Yahweh, and abide there evermore.
Ali Ana ne pođe s njim jer reče svome mužu: “Neću poći dok se dijete ne odbije od prsiju, a onda ću ga odvesti da se pokaže pred Jahvom i da ostane ondje zauvijek.”
23 And Elkanah her husband said to her—Do what is good in thine own eyes, tarry until thou have weaned him, only may Yahweh establish his word! So the woman tarried, and nursed her son, until she weaned him.
I odgovori joj Elkana, njezin muž: “Čini kako misliš da je dobro; ostani dok ga ne odbiješ od prsiju; samo neka ti Jahve ispuni tvoju želju!” I žena osta kod kuće dojeći sina svoga dok ga nije odbila od prsiju.
24 Then took she him up with her, when she had weaned him, with a bullock of three years old, and one ephah of meal, and a skin of wine, and took him to the house of Yahweh, at Shiloh, —the boy yet being young.
Čim ga je odbila od prsiju, povede ga sa sobom uzevši uz to trogodišnjeg junca, efu brašna i mijeh vina; i uvede ga u Dom Jahvin u Šilu. A dječak je bio još vrlo mlad.
25 So they slew the bullock, —and took the boy in, unto Eli.
Tada zaklaše junca, a majka dječakova pristupi k Eliju.
26 And she said—Pardon, my lord! By the life of thy soul, my lord, —I, am the woman who was standing near thee here, praying unto Yahweh:
I reče Ana: “Dopusti, gospodaru! Tako ti života tvoga, gospodaru, ja sam ona žena koja je stajala ovdje kraj tebe moleći se Jahvi.
27 For this boy, I prayed, —And Yahweh hath given me my petition which I asked of him.
Molila sam za ovo dijete, i Jahve mi je uslišio prošnju kojom sam ga prosila.
28 Hence, I also, have loaned him unto Yahweh, all the days that he liveth. He, is lent unto Yahweh. And he bowed down there, unto Yahweh.
Zato i ja njega ustupam Jahvi za sve dane njegova života: ta isprošen je od Jahve.” I pokloniše se ondje Jahvi.
