Pirmā Samuela 1
1 Un viens vīrs bija no Ramatajim-Cofim, no Efraīma kalniem, Elkanus vārdā, Jeroama dēls, tas bija Elihus dēls, tas Tous dēls, tas Cuva dēls, no Efraīma cilts.
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.
2 Šim bija divas sievas, vienai bija vārds Anna, un otras vārds bija Pennina, un Peninnai bija bērni, bet Annai bērnu nebija.
He had two wives: Hannah and Peninnah. Peninnah had several children, but Hannah had no children.
3 Un šis vīrs nogāja ik gadus no savas pilsētas, Dievu pielūgt un upurēt Tam Kungam Cebaot Šīlo. Un tur bija tie divi Elus dēli, Hofnus un Pinehas, Tam Kungam par priesteriem.
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.
4 Un tai dienā, kad Elkanus upurēja, viņš savai sievai Peninnai un visiem viņas dēliem un meitām deva daļas.
Each time Elkanah offered sacrifices there, he gave some of the meat to Peninnah and some to each of her sons and daughters.
5 Bet Annai viņš deva divkārtīgu daļu, jo viņš to Annu mīlēja, bet Tas Kungs viņas miesas bija aizslēdzis.
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.
6 Un viņas pretiniece viņu daudz apbēdināja un skumdināja kaitinādama, tādēļ ka Tas Kungs viņas miesas bija aizslēdzis.
And his other wife, Peninnah, would ridicule Hannah to make her feel miserable, because Yahweh had not allowed her to bear children.
7 Un tā viņš darīja ik gadus, kad viņa nogāja Tā Kunga namā. Un šī viņu skumdināja, ka viņa raudāja un neēda.
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.
8 Tad Elkanus, viņas vīrs, uz viņu sacīja: Anna, kāpēc tu raudi? Un kāpēc tu neēdi? Un kāpēc tava sirds noskumusi? Vai es tev neesmu labāks nekā desmit dēli?
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.)”
9 Tad Anna cēlās, kad bija ēdusi un dzērusi Šīlo. Un Elus, tas priesteris, sēdēja uz krēsla pie stenderes Tā Kunga namā.
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.
10 Un viņas sirds dziļumā bija noskumusi un pielūdza To Kungu un raudāja gauži.
Hannah was very distressed, and she cried very sorrowfully as she prayed to Yahweh.
11 Un viņa solīja solījumu un sacīja: Kungs Cebaot, ja Tu Savas kalpones bēdas uzlūkosi un mani pieminēsi un Savu kalponi neaizmirsīsi un dosi Savai kalponei dēlu, tad es to Tam Kungam došu visu viņa mūžu, un dzenamam nazim nebūs nākt uz viņa galvu.
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).”
12 Un kad viņa ilgi lūdza Tā Kunga priekšā, tad Elus viņas mutes (kustēšanu) lika vērā.
As she was praying like that to Yahweh, Eli the priest saw Hannah’s lips [moving as she was praying].
13 Jo Anna runāja savā sirdī un viņas lūpas tikai kustējās, bet viņas balss netapa dzirdēta, tāpēc Elum šķita, viņu esam piedzērušu.
But Hannah was only praying silently; she was not making any sound. So Eli thought that she was drunk.
14 Un Elus uz to sacīja: cik ilgi tu būsi piedzērusi? Lai tavs vīns no tevis atstājās.
He said to her, “How long will you continue to get drunk [RHQ]? (Throw away your wine/Quit drinking wine)!”
15 Bet Anna atbildēja un sacīja: nē, mans kungs, es esmu sieva ar bēdīgu sirdi, es neesmu ne vīna nedz stipra dzēriena dzērusi, bet savu sirdi esmu izgāzusi priekš Tā Kunga.
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.
16 Neturi savu kalponi par tādu negodīgu sievu, jo es līdz šim esmu runājusi aiz lielām sirds nopūtām un bēdām.
Do not think that I am a worthless/wicked woman! I have been praying like this because I am very distressed [DOU].”
17 Tad Elus atbildēja un sacīja: ej ar mieru, lai Israēla Dievs tev dod tavu lūgumu, ko tu no Viņa lūgusi.
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.”
18 Un viņa sacīja: lai tava kalpone žēlastību atrod tavās acīs. Tad tā sieva nogāja savu ceļu un ēda un viņas vaigs vairs neraudzījās tik noskumis.
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.
19 Un tie cēlās rītā agri un pielūdza Tā Kunga priekšā un griezās atpakaļ un nāca savā namā Rāmatā. Un Elkanus atzina Annu, savu sievu, un Tas Kungs viņu pieminēja.
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,
20 Un pēc kāda laika Anna tapa grūta un dzemdēja dēlu un nosauca viņa vārdu Samuēli, jo (viņa sacīja) es no Tā Kunga to esmu izlūgusies.
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].”
21 Kad nu tas vīrs, Elkanus, ar visu savu namu aizgāja, Tam Kungam upurēt to gadskārtējo upuri un savu solījumu,
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].
22 Tad Anna negāja līdz, bet sacīja uz savu vīru: kad tas puisītis būs atšķirts, tad es viņu vedīšu, lai viņš rādās Tā Kunga priekšā un tur paliek mūžam.
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.”
23 Un Elkanus, viņas vīrs, uz to sacīja: dari, kā tev patīk, paliec šeitan, tiekams tu viņu būsi atšķīrusi; bet Tas Kungs lai piepilda Savu vārdu. Tā tā sieva palika un zīdīja savu dēlu, tiekams viņa to atšķīra.
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.
24 Un kad viņa to bija atšķīrusi, tad viņa to veda sev līdz ar trim vēršiem un vienu ēfu miltu un vienu trauciņu ar vīnu, un noveda Tā Kunga namā uz Šīlo; un tas zēns bija vēl jauns.
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.
25 Un tie nokāva vērsi un pieveda to zēnu pie Elus.
After the priest had slaughtered the bull [and offered it to Yahweh on the altar], Hannah and Elkanah brought the boy to Eli.
26 Un tā sacīja: mans kungs, tik tiešām kā tava dvēsele dzīvo, mans kungs, es esmu tā sieva, kas šeitan pie tevis stāvēja, To Kungu lūgdama.
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].
27 Es par šo bērnu esmu lūgusi, un Tas Kungs man devis manu lūgumu, ko es no Viņa esmu lūgusi.
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.
28 Tādēļ es to arī Tam Kungam kā izlūgtu esmu nodevusi visu mūžu, kamēr tas dzīvos, - viņš ir no Tā Kunga izlūgts. Un tie tur pielūdza To Kungu.
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.
