1 Samuel 2
1 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, my horn is exalted in the LORD; my mouth is enlarged over my enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.
Exultavit cor meum in Domino, et exaltatum est cornu meum in Deo meo: dilatatum est os meum super inimicos meos: quia lætata sum in salutari tuo.
2 [There is] none holy as the LORD: for [there is] none besides thee: neither [is there] any rock like our God.
Non est sanctus, ut est Dominus: neque enim est alius extra te, et non est fortis sicut Deus noster.
3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let [not] arrogance come out of your mouth: for the LORD [is] a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
Nolite multiplicare loqui sublimia, gloriantes: recedant vetera de ore vestro: quia Deus scientiarum, Dominus est, et ipsi præparantur cogitationes.
4 The bows of the mighty men [are] broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
Arcus fortium superatus est, et infirmi accincti sunt robore.
5 [They that were] full have hired out themselves for bread; and [they that were] hungry ceased: so that the barren hath borne seven; and she that hath many children is become feeble.
Repleti prius, pro panibus se locaverunt: et famelici saturati sunt, donec sterilis peperit plurimos: et quæ multos habebat filios, infirmata est.
Dominus mortificat et vivificat, deducit ad inferos et reducit. (Sheol h7585)
7 The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.
Dominus pauperem facit et ditat, humiliat et sublevat.
8 He raiseth the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth the beggar from the dunghill, to set [them] among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth [are] the LORD'S, and he hath set the world upon them.
Suscitat de pulvere egenum, et de stercore elevat pauperem: ut sedeat cum principibus, et solium gloriæ teneat. Domini enim sunt cardines terræ, et posuit super eos orbem.
9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
Pedes sanctorum suorum servabit, et impii in tenebris conticescent: quia non in fortitudine sua roborabitur vir.
10 The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
Dominum formidabunt adversarii eius: et super ipsos in cælis tonabit: Dominus iudicabit fines Terræ, et dabit imperium regi suo, et sublimabit cornu Christi sui.
11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child ministered to the LORD before Eli the priest.
Et abiit Elcana Ramatha, in domum suam: puer autem erat minister in conspectu Domini ante faciem Heli sacerdotis.
12 Now the sons of Eli [were] sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.
Porro filii Heli, filii Belial, nescientes Dominum,
13 And the priest's custom with the people [was], [that], when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a flesh-hook of three teeth in his hand;
neque officium sacerdotum ad populum: sed quicumque immolasset victimam, veniebat puer sacerdotis, dum coquerentur carnes, et habebat fuscinulam tridentem in manu sua,
14 And he struck [it] into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the flesh-hook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites that came thither.
et mittebat eam in lebetem, vel in caldariam, aut in ollam, sive in cacabum: et omne, quod levabat fuscinula, tollebat sacerdos sibi. Sic faciebant universo Israeli venientium in Silo.
15 Also before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have boiled flesh of thee, but raw.
Etiam antequam adolerent adipem, veniebat puer sacerdotis, et dicebat immolanti: Da mihi carnem, ut coquam sacerdoti: non enim accipiam a te carnem coctam, sed crudam.
16 And [if] any man said to him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and [then] take [as much] as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, [No]; but thou shalt give [it to me] now: and if not, I will take [it] by force.
Dicebatque illi immolans: Incendatur primum iuxta morem hodie adeps, et tolle tibi quantumcumque desiderat anima tua. Qui respondens aiebat ei: Nequaquam: nunc enim dabis, alioquin tollam vi.
17 Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.
Erat ergo peccatum puerorum grande nimis coram Domino: quia retrahebant homines a sacrificio Domini.
18 But Samuel ministered before the LORD, [being] a child, girded with a linen ephod.
Samuel autem ministrabat ante faciem Domini, puer accinctus ephod lineo.
19 Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought [it] to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband, to offer the yearly sacrifice.
Et tunicam parvam faciebat ei mater sua, quam afferebat statutis diebus, ascendens cum viro suo, ut immolaret hostiam sollemnem.
20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee issue of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went to their own home.
Et benedixit Heli Elcanæ et uxori eius: dixitque ei: Reddat tibi Dominus semen de muliere hac, pro fœnore quod commodasti Domino. Et abierunt in locum suum.
21 And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.
Visitavit ergo Dominus Annam, et concepit, et peperit tres filios, et duas filias: et magnificatus est puer Samuel apud Dominum.
22 Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did to all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Heli autem erat senex valde, et audivit omnia quæ faciebant filii sui universo Israeli: et quomodo dormiebant cum mulieribus quæ observabant ad ostium tabernaculi:
23 And he said to them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.
et dixit eis: Quare facitis res huiuscemodi, quas ego audio, res pessimas, ab omni populo?
24 No, my sons; for [it is] no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD'S people to transgress.
Nolite filii mei: non enim est bona fama, quam ego audio, ut transgredi faciatis populum Domini.
25 If one man shall sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man shall sin against the LORD, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not to the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them.
Si peccaverit vir in virum, placari ei potest Deus: si autem in Dominum peccaverit vir, quis orabit pro eo? Et non audierunt vocem patris sui: quia voluit Dominus occidere eos.
26 And the child Samuel continued to grow, and was in favor both with the LORD, and also with men.
Puer autem Samuel proficiebat, atque crescebat, et placebat tam Domino quam hominibus.
27 And there came a man of God to Eli, and said to him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear to the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?
Venit autem vir Dei ad Heli, et ait ad eum: Hæc dicit Dominus: Numquid non aperte revelatus sum domui patris tui, cum essent in Ægypto in domo Pharaonis?
28 And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel [to be] my priest, to offer upon my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give to the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?
Et elegi eum ex omnibus tribubus Israel mihi in sacerdotem, ut ascenderet ad altare meum, et adoleret mihi incensum, et portaret ephod coram me: et dedi domui patris tui omnia de sacrificiis filiorum Israel.
29 Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at my offering, which I have commanded [in my] habitation; and honorest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?
Quare calce abiecistis victimam meam, et munera mea quæ præcepi ut offerrentur in templo: et magis honorasti filios tuos quam me, ut comederetis primitias omnis sacrificii Israel populi mei?
30 Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed [that] thy house, and the house of thy father should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honor me I will honor, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
Propterea ait Dominus Deus Israel: Loquens locutus sum, ut domus tua, et domus patris tui ministraret in conspectu meo, usque in sempiternum. Nunc autem dicit Dominus: Absit hoc a me: sed quicumque glorificaverit me, glorificabo eum: qui autem contemnunt me, erunt ignobiles.
31 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thy arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thy house.
Ecce dies veniunt: et præcidam brachium tuum, et brachium domus patris tui, ut non sit senex in domo tua.
32 And thou shalt see an enemy [in my] habitation, in all [the wealth] which [God] shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thy house for ever.
Et videbis æmulum tuum in templo, in universis prosperis Israel: et non erit senex in domo tua omnibus diebus.
33 And the man of thine, [whom] I shall not cut off from my altar, [shall be] to consume thy eyes, and to grieve thy heart: and all the increase of thy house shall die in the flower of their age.
Verumtamen non auferam penitus virum ex te ab altari meo: sed ut deficiant oculi tui, et tabescat anima tua: et pars magna domus tuæ morietur cum ad virilem ætatem venerit.
34 And this [shall be] a sign to thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die both of them.
Hoc autem erit tibi signum, quod venturum est duobus filiis tuis, Ophni et Phinees: In die uno morientur ambo.
35 And I will raise me up a faithful priest, [that] shall do according to [that] which [is] in my heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before my Anointed for ever.
Et suscitabo mihi sacerdotem fidelem, qui iuxta cor meum, et animam meam faciet: et ædificabo ei domum fidelem, et ambulabit coram Christo meo cunctis diebus.
36 And it shall come to pass, [that] every one that is left in thy house, shall come [and] crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priest's offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.
Futurum est autem, ut quicumque remanserit in domo tua, veniat ut oretur pro eo, et offerat nummum argenteum, et tortam panis, dicatque: Dimitte me obsecro ad unam partem sacerdotalem, ut comedam buccellam panis.
