1 Samuel 1
1 There was a man named Elkanah who lived in Ramah [town] in the hilly area where [the tribe of] Ephraim lived. His father was Jeroham, his grandfather was Elihu, and his great-grandfather was Tohu. He belonged to the Zuph clan.
Беше један човек из Раматајим-Софима, из горе Јефремове, коме име беше Елкана син Јероама, сина Елива, сина Това, сина Суфовог, Ефраћанин.
2 He had two wives: Hannah and Peninnah. Peninnah had several 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 Once every year Elkanah went up [with his family] from Ramah to Shiloh [city]. He went there to worship Yahweh, [the commander] of the armies [of angels], and to offer sacrifices to him. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, [helped their father to do the work as] priests of Yahweh 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 Each time Elkanah offered sacrifices there, he gave some of the meat to Peninnah and some to each of her sons and daughters.
И један дан кад Елкана принесе жртву, даде Фенини жени својој и свим синовима њеним и кћерима њеним по део;
5 But even though he loved Hannah very much, he gave her only one special amount of meat because Yahweh had not permitted her to give birth to any children.
Ани пак даде два дела, јер љубљаше Ану, а њој Господ беше затворио материцу.
6 And his other wife, Peninnah, would ridicule Hannah to make her feel miserable, because Yahweh had not allowed her to bear children.
И противница је њена врло цвељаше пркосећи јој што јој Господ беше затворио материцу.
7 This happened every year. When they went up to the temple of Yahweh [at Shiloh], Peninnah ridiculed Hannah so much that Hannah cried and would not eat.
Тако чињаше Елкана сваке године, и Ана хођаше у дом Господњи, а она је цвељаше, те плакаше и не јеђаше.
8 Then Elkanah would say to her, “Hannah, (why are you crying?/please quit crying!) [RHQ] (Why are you not eating?/Please eat something!) [RHQ] Why are you so upset/sad? You have me; is that not more important to you than if you had ten sons? (OR, I [love you] more than your sons [would love you], even if you had 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 One year, after they had finished eating and drinking at Shiloh, Hannah stood up [to pray]. Eli the priest was nearby, sitting on a chair by the doorway of the sacred tent of Yahweh.
А Ана уста, пошто једоше и пише у Силому; а Илије свештеник сеђаше на столици, на прагу дома Господњег.
10 Hannah was very distressed, and she cried very sorrowfully as she prayed to Yahweh.
И она, тужна у срцу помоли се Господу плачући много.
11 She made a vow saying, “O Almighty Commander of the armies of angels, if you will look at me and see how miserable I am, and think about me and allow me to give birth to a son, then I will dedicate him to you [to serve you] for the rest of his life. And [to show that he is dedicated to you], (no one will ever [be allowed to] cut his hair/his hair will never be cut).”
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 As she was praying like that to Yahweh, Eli the priest saw Hannah’s lips [moving as she was praying].
И кад се она дуго мољаше пред Господом, Илије мотраше на уста њена.
13 But Hannah was only praying silently; she was not making any sound. So Eli thought that 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 He said to her, “How long will you continue to get drunk [RHQ]? (Throw away your wine/Quit drinking wine)!”
Па јој рече Илије: Докле ћеш бити пијана? Отрезни се од вина свог.
15 Hannah replied, “Sir, I am not drunk! I have not been drinking wine or any other alcoholic drink. I feel very distressed and I have been telling Yahweh about how I feel.
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 think that I am a worthless/wicked woman! I have been praying like this because I am very distressed [DOU].”
Немој једначити слушкиње своје с неваљалом женом; јер сам од велике туге и жалости своје говорила досад.
17 Eli replied, “I wish/desire that things will go well for you. I desire that God, the one we Israeli people [worship], will give you what you requested from him.”
Тада одговори Илије и рече: Иди с миром; а Бог Израиљев да ти испуни молбу, за шта си Га молила.
18 She replied, “I want you to think highly/well about me.” Then she returned [to her family] and after she ate something, her face no longer looked sad.
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 Early the next morning, Elkanah and his family got up and worshiped Yahweh [again], and then they returned to their home at Ramah. Elkanah (slept with/had sex with) Hannah. Then Yahweh answered her prayer,
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 and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, [which sounds like the words in the Hebrew language that mean ‘heard by God’], because she said “Yahweh [heard me when] I requested from him [a son].”
И кад би време, пошто Ана затрудне, роди сина и наде му име Самуило, јер, рече, испросих га у Господа.
21 The following year, Elkanah again went up [to Shiloh] with his family to make the kind of sacrifice he made each year, and also to give a special offering to God that he had promised [to give him previously].
Потом пође онај човек Елкана са свим домом својим да принесе Господу годишњу жртву и завет свој.
22 But Hannah did not go [with them]. She said to her husband, “After I have weaned the baby, I will take him [to Shiloh and present him] to Yahweh, and he will stay there for the rest of his life.”
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 said, “Do what seems the best to you. Stay here until you have weaned him. What I desire is that Yahweh will [enable you to] do what you have promised.” So Hannah stayed at home 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 After she weaned him, even though Samuel was very young, she took him to the temple/house of Yahweh at Shiloh. [To offer as a sacrifice], she took along a three-year-old bull, [a sack containing] (20 pounds/9 kg.) of flour, and a container of wine.
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 After the priest had slaughtered the bull [and offered it to Yahweh on the altar], Hannah and Elkanah brought the boy to Eli.
И заклаше теле и доведоше дете к Илију.
26 Then Hannah said to him, “Sir, (Do you remember me?/I solemnly affirm), I am the woman who prayed as I stood here beside you [several years ago].
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 I prayed that Yahweh would enable me to give birth to a child, and this is the child whom I requested Yahweh to give me.
Молих се за ово дете, и испуни ми Господ молбу моју, за шта сам Га молила.
28 So now I am presenting him to Yahweh. He will belong to Yahweh as long as he lives.” Then Elkanah [and his family] worshiped Yahweh there.
Зато и ја дајем њега Господу, докле је год жив, да је дат Господу. И поклонише се онде Господу.
