I Samuelis 2
1 exultavit cor meum in Domino exaltatum est cornu meum in Domino dilatatum est os meum super inimicos meos quia laetata sum in salutari tuo
And she said, "My heart rejoices in Jehovah. My strength rises up in my God. My mouth boasts over my enemies, because I rejoice in your salvation.
2 non est sanctus ut est Dominus neque enim est alius extra te et non est fortis sicut Deus noster
Truly, there is no one as holy as Jehovah. Truly, there is no one besides you, nor is there any rock like our God.
3 nolite multiplicare loqui sublimia gloriantes recedant vetera de ore vestro quoniam Deus scientiarum Dominus est et ipsi praeparantur cogitationes
Do not speak boastfully or let arrogance come out of your mouth, for Jehovah is a God of knowledge. By him actions are weighed.
4 arcus fortium superatus est et infirmi accincti sunt robore
The bows of the mighty men are broken. Those who stumbled are armed with strength.
5 saturati prius pro pane se locaverunt et famelici saturati sunt donec sterilis peperit plurimos et quae multos habebat filios infirmata est
Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread. Those who were hungry are satisfied. Even the barren has borne seven, and she who has many children languishes.
Jehovah kills, and makes alive. He brings down to Sheol, and brings up. (Sheol h7585)
7 Dominus pauperem facit et ditat humiliat et sublevat
Jehovah makes poor, and makes rich. He brings low, he also lifts up.
8 suscitat de pulvere egenum et de stercore elevat pauperem ut sedeat cum principibus et solium gloriae teneat Domini enim sunt cardines terrae et posuit super eos orbem
He raises up the poor out of the dust. He lifts up the needy from the dunghill, To make them sit with princes, and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are Jehovah's. He has set the world on them.
9 pedes sanctorum suorum servabit et impii in tenebris conticescent quia non in fortitudine roborabitur vir
He will guard the feet of his faithful ones, but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness. For no man will prevail by strength.
10 Dominum formidabunt adversarii eius super ipsos in caelis tonabit Dominus iudicabit fines terrae et dabit imperium regi suo et sublimabit cornu christi sui
Those who strive with Jehovah will be broken to pieces. He will thunder against them in the sky. "Jehovah will judge the farthest parts of the earth. He will give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed."
11 et abiit Helcana Ramatha in domum suam puer autem erat minister in conspectu Domini ante faciem Heli sacerdotis
And she went to Ramah, while the child served Jehovah before Eli the priest.
12 porro filii Heli filii Belial nescientes Dominum
Now the sons of Eli were worthless men; they did not know Jehovah.
13 neque officium sacerdotum ad populum sed quicumque immolasset victimam veniebat puer sacerdotis dum coquerentur carnes et habebat fuscinulam tridentem in manu sua
The custom of the priests with the people was that when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was boiling, with a fork of three teeth in his hand;
14 et mittebat eam in lebetem vel in caldariam aut in ollam sive in caccabum et omne quod levabat fuscinula tollebat sacerdos sibi sic faciebant universo Israheli venientium in Silo
and he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fork brought up the priest took therewith. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.
15 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
Yes, before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man who sacrificed, "Give meat to roast for the priest; for he will not accept boiled meat from you, but raw."
16 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
If the man said to him, "Let the fat be burned first, and then take all of it which your soul desires"; then he would say, "No, but you shall give it to me now; and if not, I will take it by force."
17 erat ergo peccatum puerorum grande nimis coram Domino quia detrahebant homines sacrificio Domini
The sin of the young men was very great before Jehovah; for they despised the offering of Jehovah.
18 Samuhel autem ministrabat ante faciem Domini puer accinctus ephod lineo
But Samuel ministered before Jehovah, being a child, clothed with a linen ephod.
19 et tunicam parvam faciebat ei mater sua quam adferebat statutis diebus ascendens cum viro suo ut immolaret hostiam sollemnem
Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
20 et benedixit Heli Helcanae et uxori eius dixitque reddat Dominus tibi semen de muliere hac pro fenore quod commodasti Domino et abierunt in locum suum
And Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, and said, "May Jehovah repay you with offspring by this woman for the gift which she made to Jehovah." And the man returned to his home.
21 visitavit ergo Dominus Annam et concepit et peperit tres filios et duas filias et magnificatus est puer Samuhel apud Dominum
Jehovah visited Hannah, and she bore more children, three sons and two daughters. The child Samuel grew before Jehovah.
22 Heli autem erat senex valde et audivit omnia quae faciebant filii sui universo Israheli et quomodo dormiebant cum mulieribus quae observabant ad ostium tabernaculi
Now Eli was very old; and he heard what his sons did to the children of Israel (and how that they lay with the women who served at the door of the Tent of Meeting).
23 et dixit eis quare facitis res huiuscemodi quas ego audio res pessimas ab omni populo
And he said to them, "Why do you do such things as these that I hear being said of you from the mouth of the people of Jehovah?
24 nolite filii mi non enim est bona fama quam ego audio ut transgredi faciatis populum Domini
No, my sons, do not do this. For it is not a good report that I hear the people of Jehovah spreading.
25 si peccaverit vir in virum placari ei potest Deus si autem in Domino peccaverit vir quis orabit pro eo et non audierunt vocem patris sui quia voluit Dominus occidere eos
If a man sins gravely against another, he can appeal to Jehovah; but if a man sins against Jehovah, who can intercede for him?" But, they did not listen to the voice of their father, because Jehovah intended to kill them.
26 puer autem Samuhel proficiebat atque crescebat et placebat tam Deo quam hominibus
The child Samuel grew on, and increased in favor both with Jehovah, and also with men.
27 venit autem vir Dei ad Heli et ait ad eum haec dicit Dominus numquid non aperte revelatus sum domui patris tui cum essent in Aegypto in domo Pharaonis
A man of God came to Eli, and said, "Thus says Jehovah, I plainly revealed myself to the house of your father, when they were slaves in Egypt to the house of Pharaoh.
28 et elegi eum ex omnibus tribubus Israhel mihi in sacerdotem ut ascenderet altare meum et adoleret mihi incensum et portaret ephod coram me et dedi domui patris tui omnia de sacrificiis filiorum Israhel
And I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod. And I gave to the house of your father all the offerings by fire of the children of Israel as food.
29 quare calce abicitis victimam meam et munera mea quae praecepi ut offerrentur in templo et magis honorasti filios tuos quam me ut comederetis primitias omnis sacrificii Israhel populi mei
Then why do you look at my sacrifice and my offering with a selfish eye, and honor your sons more than me in letting them eat from the first part of every offering of Israel before me?'
30 propterea ait Dominus Deus Israhel 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
"Therefore Jehovah, the God of Israel, says, 'I said indeed that your house, and the house of your father, should walk before me forever.' But now Jehovah says, 'Be it far from me; for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
31 ecce dies veniunt et praecidam brachium tuum et brachium domus patris tui ut non sit senex in domo tua
Look, the days come, that I will cut off your descendants, and the descendants of your father's house, that there shall not be an old man in your house.
32 et videbis aemulum tuum in templo in universis prosperis Israhel et non erit senex in domo tua omnibus diebus
And you will see distress in the dwelling place, in all that he does good with Israel. And there will not be an old man in your house all the days.
33 verumtamen non auferam penitus virum ex te ab altari meo sed ut deficiant oculi tui et tabescat anima tua et pars magna domus tuae morietur cum ad virilem aetatem venerit
And the man of yours I do not cut off from my altar will be to cause his eyes to fail and to grieve his soul, and all the increase of your house will die by the sword of men.
34 hoc autem erit tibi signum quod venturum est duobus filiis tuis Ofni et Finees in die uno morientur ambo
"'This shall be the sign to you, that shall come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall both die.
35 et suscitabo mihi sacerdotem fidelem qui iuxta cor meum et animam meam faciat et aedificabo ei domum fidelem et ambulabit coram christo meo cunctis diebus
I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind. I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before my anointed forever.
36 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
It shall happen, that everyone who is left in your house shall come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say, "Please put me into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread."'"
