1 Samuel 1
1 And he was a man one from Ramathaim Zophim from [the] hill country of Ephraim and name his [was] Elkanah [the] son of Jeroham [the] son of Elihu [the] son of Tohu [the] son of Zuph an Ephrathite.
A Ramataïm-Çophim, sur la montagne d’Ephraïm, était un homme ayant nom Elkana, fils de Yeroham, fils d’Elihou, fils de Tohou, fils de Çouf, un Ephratéen.
2 And [belonged] to him two wives [the] name of one [was] Hannah and [the] name of the second [was] Peninnah and it belonged to Peninnah children and [belonged] to Hannah not children.
Il avait deux femmes, l’une nommée Hanna, la seconde Peninna; Peninna avait des enfants, Hanna n’en avait point.
3 And he went up the man that from city his from days - days towards to bow down and to sacrifice to Yahweh of hosts at Shiloh and there [the] two [the] sons of Eli Hophni and Phinehas [were] priests of Yahweh.
Or, cet homme partait de sa ville, chaque année, pour se prosterner et sacrifier à l’Eternel-Cebaot dans Silo, où les deux fils d’Héli, Hophni et Phinéas, fonctionnaient comme prêtres du Seigneur.
4 And it was the day and he sacrificed Elkanah and he gave to Peninnah wife his and to all sons her and daughters her portions.
L’Époque venue, Elkana faisait son sacrifice, dont il donnait des portions à Peninna, sa femme, et à tous les fils et filles qu’il avait d’elle;
5 And to Hannah he gave a portion one double for Hannah he loved and Yahweh he had closed womb her.
tandis qu’à Hanna il ne donnait qu’une seule portion, à son grand déplaisir, parce qu’il aimait Hanna et que le Seigneur l’avait rendue stérile.
6 And she provoked her rival her also provocation in order to disconcert her for he had closed Yahweh behind womb her.
Mais sa rivale l’exaspérait sans cesse pour provoquer ses murmures, sur ce que Dieu avait refusé à son sein la fécondité.
7 And thus he did a year in a year as often as went up she in [the] house of Yahweh thus she provoked her and she wept and not she ate.
Cela se passait de la sorte chaque année, lorsque Hanna se rendait à la maison du Seigneur; chaque fois sa rivale l’exaspérait, et Hanna pleurait et ne mangeait point.
8 And he said to her Elkanah husband her O Hannah why? do you weep and why? not are you eating and why? is sad heart your ¿ not [am] I good to you more than ten sons.
Elkana, son mari, lui disait: "Hanna, pourquoi pleures-tu? Pourquoi ne manges-tu point, et pourquoi ton cœur est-il affligé? Est-ce que je ne vaux pas, pour toi, plus que dix enfants?".
9 And she arose Hannah after had eaten in Shiloh and after had drunk and Eli the priest [was] sitting on the seat at [the] doorpost of [the] temple of Yahweh.
Un jour, après qu’on eut mangé et bu à Silo, Hanna se leva… Héli le pontife se trouvait alors sur son siège, au seuil du sanctuaire de l’Eternel.
10 And she [was] bitter of soul and she prayed to Yahweh and utterly she wept.
L’Âme remplie d’amertume, elle pria devant l’Eternel et pleura longtemps.
11 And she vowed a vow and she said O Yahweh of hosts certainly [if] you will look - on [the] affliction of maidservant your and you will remember me and not you will forget maidservant your and you will give to maidservant of your spring of men and I will give him to Yahweh all [the] days of life his and a razor not it will go up on head his.
Puis elle prononça ce vœu: "Eternel-Cebaot! Si tu daignes considérer l’affliction de ta servante, te souvenir d’elle et ne point l’oublier; si tu donnes à ta servante un enfant mâle, je le vouerai au Seigneur pour toute sa vie, et le rasoir ne touchera point sa tête."
12 And it was that she had increased to pray before Yahweh and Eli [was] watching mouth her.
Or, comme elle priait longuement devant l’Eternel, Héli observa sa bouche:
13 And Hannah she [was] speaking to heart her only lips her [were] quivering and voice her not it was heard and he considered her Eli to a drunken [woman].
Hanna parlait en elle-même; on voyait seulement remuer ses lèvres, mais on n’entendait pas sa voix. Héli la crut ivre,
14 And he said to her Eli until when? will you be drunk! remove wine your from with you.
et il lui dit: "Combien de temps veux-tu étaler ton ivresse? Va cuver ton vin!"
15 And she answered Hannah and she said no O lord my [am] a woman hard of spirit I and wine and strong drink not I have drunk and I have poured out soul my before Yahweh.
Hanna répondit: "Non, Seigneur, je ne suis qu’une femme au cœur navré; je n’ai bu ni vin ni liqueur forte, j’ai seulement épanché mon âme devant l’Eternel.
16 May not you give maidservant your before a daughter of worthlessness for from [the] greatness of complaint my and provocation my I have spoken until now.
Ne prends pas ta servante pour une femme perverse, car c’est l’excès de mes griefs et de ma douleur qui m’a fait parler si longtemps."
17 And he answered Eli and he said go to peace and [the] God of Israel may he grant petition your which you have asked from with him.
Héli reprit la parole et dit: "Va donc en paix; et que le Dieu d’Israël t’accorde ce que tu lui as demandé."
18 And she said may she find maidservant your favor in view your and she went the woman to way her and she ate and face her not they were to her still.
Et Hanna dit: "Puisse ta servante trouver grâce à tes yeux!" Alors cette femme se remit en chemin, prit de la nourriture, et sa physionomie ne fut plus la même.
19 And they rose early in the morning and they bowed down before Yahweh and they returned and they went to house their Ramah towards and he knew Elkanah Hannah wife his and he remembered her Yahweh.
Le lendemain de bon matin, ils se prosternèrent devant l’Eternel, puis s’en retournèrent à leur demeure à Rama. Elkana s’unit à Hanna, et le Seigneur se souvint d’elle.
20 And it was to [the] circuit of the days and she conceived Hannah and she bore a son and she called name his Samuel for from Yahweh I asked for him.
Au terme de la période, Hanna, qui avait conçu, enfanta un fils et lui donna le nom de Samuel, "parce que, dit-elle, j’ai demandé cet enfant au Seigneur."
21 And he went up the man Elkanah and all household his to sacrifice to Yahweh [the] sacrifice of the days and vow his.
Le mari, Elkana, étant parti avec toute sa maison pour faire au Seigneur son sacrifice annuel et ses offrandes votives,
22 And Hannah not she went up for she said to husband her until he will be weaned the lad and I will take him and he will appear with [the] presence of Yahweh and he will dwell there until perpetuity.
Hanna ne l’accompagna point, car elle dit à son époux: "Une fois que l’enfant sera sevré, je l’emmènerai, et il paraîtra en présence du Seigneur, et il y restera toujours."
23 And he said to her Elkanah husband her do the good in view your remain until wean you him only may he carry out Yahweh word his and she remained the woman and she suckled son her until (had weaned she *LAH(b)*) him.
Elkana, son époux, lui répondit: "Fais comme il te plaît, attends que tu l’aies sevré; veuille seulement le Seigneur accomplir sa parole!" La femme resta donc et allaita son fils, jusqu’à ce qu’elle l’eût sevré.
24 And she brought up him with her just when she had weaned him with young bulls three and an ephah one of flour and a skin of wine and she took him [the] house of Yahweh Shiloh and the lad [was] a lad.
Quand elle l’eut sevré, elle l’emmena avec trois taureaux, une êpha de farine et une outre de vin et le conduisit à la maison du Seigneur, à Silo; l’enfant était encore tout jeune.
25 And they slaughtered the young bull and they brought the lad to Eli.
On immola l’un des taureaux, puis on présenta l’enfant à Héli;
26 And she said pardon me O lord my [by] [the] life of self your O lord my I [am] the woman who stood with you in this [place] to pray to Yahweh.
et Hanna lui dit: "Ecoute-moi, seigneur! Par ta vie, seigneur! Je suis cette femme que tu as vue ici, près de toi, implorer l’Eternel.
27 Concerning the lad this I prayed and he has granted Yahweh to me petition my which I asked from with him.
C’Est pour obtenir cet enfant que j’avais prié; et l’Eternel m’a accordé ce que je lui avais demandé.
28 And also I I entrust him to Yahweh all the days which he has been he [is] asked by Yahweh and he bowed down there to Yahweh.
Mais à mon tour je l’avais voué au Seigneur: depuis qu’il est né, il est consacré à Dieu." Alors on se prosterna devant l’Eternel.
