< 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.
Torej tam je bil nek mož iz Ramatájim Cofíma, z gore Efrájim in njegovo ime je bilo Elkaná, sin Jeroháma, sinú Elihúja, sinú Tohuja, sinú Cufa, Efrátejec.
2 He had two wives: Hannah and Peninnah. Peninnah had several children, but Hannah had no children.
Ta je imel dve ženi. Ime ene je bilo Ana in ime druge Penína. Penína je imela otroke, toda Ana ni imela otrok.
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.
Ta mož je vsako leto šel gor iz svojega mesta, da obožuje in žrtvuje Gospodu nad bojevniki v Šilu. In dva Élijeva sinova, Hofní in Pinhás, Gospodova duhovnika, sta bila tam.
4 Each time Elkanah offered sacrifices there, he gave some of the meat to Peninnah and some to each of her sons and daughters.
Ko je bil čas, da Elkaná daruje, je dal deleže svoji ženi Peníni in vsem njenim sinovom in njenim hčeram,
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.
toda Ani je dal vreden delež, kajti Ano je ljubil. Toda Gospod je zaprl njeno maternico.
6 And his other wife, Peninnah, would ridicule Hannah to make her feel miserable, because Yahweh had not allowed her to bear children.
Njena nasprotnica jo je boleče dražila, da bi jo razburila, ker je Gospod zaprl njeno maternico.
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.
Ko je tako delala leto za letom, ko je šla gor do Gospodove hiše, jo je tako razdražila; zato je jokala in ni jedla.
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.)”
Potem ji je njen soprog Elkaná rekel: »Ana, zakaj jokaš? Zakaj ne ješ? Zakaj je tvoje srce užaloščeno? Ali ti nisem boljši kakor deset sinov?«
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.
Tako je Ana vstala, potem ko so v Šilu pojedli in popili. Torej duhovnik Éli je sedel na sedežu pri podboju Gospodovega templja.
10 Hannah was very distressed, and she cried very sorrowfully as she prayed to Yahweh.
Ona pa je bila v grenkobi duše in molila h Gospodu in bridko jokala.
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).”
Zaobljubila je zaobljubo in rekla: »Oh Gospod nad bojevniki, če zares hočeš pogledati na stisko svoje pomočnice in se me spomniš in ne pozabiš svoje pomočnice, temveč hočeš svoji pomočnici dati fantka, potem ga bom izročila Gospodu [za] vse dni njegovega življenja in britev ne bo prišla na njegovo glavo.«
12 As she was praying like that to Yahweh, Eli the priest saw Hannah’s lips [moving as she was praying].
Pripetilo se je, ko je nadaljevala moleč pred Gospodom, da je Éli opazil njena usta.
13 But Hannah was only praying silently; she was not making any sound. So Eli thought that she was drunk.
Torej Ana, ona je govorila v svojem srcu, premikale pa so se samo njene ustnice, toda njenega glasu ni bilo slišati. Zato je Éli mislil, da je bila pijana.
14 He said to her, “How long will you continue to get drunk [RHQ]? (Throw away your wine/Quit drinking wine)!”
Éli ji je rekel: »Doklej boš pijana? Odloži svoje vino od sebe.«
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.
Ana je odgovorila in rekla: »Ne, moj gospod, jaz sem ženska žalostnega duha. Niti nisem pila vina niti močne pijače, temveč sem svojo dušo izlila pred Gospodom.
16 Do not think that I am a worthless/wicked woman! I have been praying like this because I am very distressed [DOU].”
Svoje pomočnice ne štej za Beliálovo hčer, kajti iz obilja svoje pritožbe in žalosti sem doslej govorila.«
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.”
Potem je Éli odgovoril in rekel: »Pojdi v miru in Izraelov Bog ti zagotovi prošnjo, ki si jo prosila od njega.«
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.
Rekla je: »Naj tvoja pomočnica najde milost v tvojem pogledu.« Tako je ženska odšla svojo pot in jedla in njeno obličje ni bilo več žalostno.
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,
Vstali so zgodaj zjutraj in oboževali pred Gospodom in se vrnili in prišli k svoji hiši v Ramo. Elkaná je spoznal svojo ženo Ano in Gospod se jo je spomnil.
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].”
Zato se je pripetilo, ko je prišel čas, potem ko je Ana spočela, da je rodila sina in njegovo ime je imenovala Samuel, rekoč: »Ker sem ga prosila od Gospoda.«
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].
Mož Elkaná in vsa njegova hiša, so odšli gor, da darujejo Gospodu letno klavno daritev in svojo zaobljubo.
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.”
Toda Ana ni odšla gor, kajti svojemu soprogu je rekla: » Ne bom šla gor, dokler ne bo otrok odstavljen in tedaj ga bom privedla, da se prikaže pred Gospodom in tam ostane za vedno.«
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.
Njen soprog Elkaná ji je rekel: »Stôri, kar se ti zdi dobro. Ostani, dokler ga ne odstaviš. Samo Gospod [naj] uveljavi svojo besedo.« Tako je ženska ostala in dojila svojega sina, dokler ga ni odstavila.
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.
Ko ga je odstavila, ga je s seboj vzela gor, s tremi bikci, enim škafom moke in mehom vina ter ga privedla v Gospodovo hišo v Šilo. Otrok pa je bil mlad.
25 After the priest had slaughtered the bull [and offered it to Yahweh on the altar], Hannah and Elkanah brought the boy to Eli.
Usmrtili so bikca in otroka privedli k Éliju.
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].
Rekla je: »Oh moj gospod, kakor živi tvoja duša, moj gospod, jaz sem ženska, ki je stala tukaj pri tebi, moleč h Gospodu.
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.
Za tega otroka sem molila in Gospod mi je izpolnil prošnjo, ki sem jo prosila od njega,
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.
zato sem ga tudi posodila Gospodu. Kakor dolgo živi, bo posojen Gospodu.« In tam je oboževal Gospoda.
