< اول سموئیل 1 >
و مردی بود از رامه تایم صوفیم از کوهستان افرایم، مسمی به القانه بن یروحام بن الیهو بن توحو بن صوف. و او افرایمی بود. | ۱ 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.
و او دو زن داشت. اسم یکی حنا و اسم دیگری فننه بود. و فننه اولاد داشت لیکن حنا رااولاد نبود. | ۲ 2 |
He had two wives: Hannah and Peninnah. Peninnah had several children, but Hannah had no children.
و آن مرد هر سال برای عبادت نمودن وقربانی گذرانیدن برای یهوه صبایوت از شهر خودبه شیلوه میآمد، و حفنی و فینحاس دو پسرعیلی، کاهنان خداوند در آنجا بودند. | ۳ 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.
و چون روزی میآمد که القانه قربانی میگذرانید، به زن خود فننه و همه پسران و دختران خود قسمت هامی داد. | ۴ 4 |
Each time Elkanah offered sacrifices there, he gave some of the meat to Peninnah and some to each of her sons and daughters.
و اما به حنا قسمت مضاعف میداد زیراکه حنا را دوست میداشت، اگرچه خداوند رحم او را بسته بود. | ۵ 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.
و هئوی وی او را نیز سخت میرنجانید به حدی که وی را خشمناک میساخت، چونکه خداوند رحم او را بسته بود. | ۶ 6 |
And his other wife, Peninnah, would ridicule Hannah to make her feel miserable, because Yahweh had not allowed her to bear children.
و همچنین سال به سال واقع میشد که چون حنابه خانه خدا میآمد، فننه همچنین او رامی رنجانید و او گریه نموده، چیزی نمی خورد. | ۷ 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.
و شوهرش، القانه، وی را میگفت: «ای حنا چراگریانی و چرا نمی خوری و دلت چرا غمگین است؟ آیا من برای تو از ده پسر بهتر نیستم؟» | ۸ 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.)”
و بعد از اکل و شرب نمودن ایشان در شیلوه، حنا برخاست و عیلی کاهن بر کرسی خود نزد ستونی در هیکل خدا نشسته بود. | ۹ 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.
و او به تلخی جان نزد خداوند دعا کرد، و زارزار بگریست. | ۱۰ 10 |
Hannah was very distressed, and she cried very sorrowfully as she prayed to Yahweh.
ونذر کرده، گفت: «ای یهوه صبایوت اگر فی الواقع به مصیبت کنیز خود نظر کرده، مرا بیاد آوری وکنیزک خود را فراموش نکرده، اولاد ذکوری به کنیز خود عطا فرمایی، او را تمامی ایام عمرش به خداوند خواهم داد، و استره بر سرش نخواهدآمد.» | ۱۱ 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).”
و چون دعای خود را به حضور خداوندطول داد عیلی دهن او را ملاحظه کرد. | ۱۲ 12 |
As she was praying like that to Yahweh, Eli the priest saw Hannah’s lips [moving as she was praying].
و حنادر دل خود سخن میگفت، و لبهایش فقط، متحرک بود و آوازش مسموع نمی شد، و عیلی گمان برد که مست است. | ۱۳ 13 |
But Hannah was only praying silently; she was not making any sound. So Eli thought that she was drunk.
پس عیلی وی راگفت: «تا به کی مست میشوی؟ شرابت را از خوددور کن.» | ۱۴ 14 |
He said to her, “How long will you continue to get drunk [RHQ]? (Throw away your wine/Quit drinking wine)!”
و حنا در جواب گفت: «نی آقایم، بلکه زن شکسته روح هستم، و شراب و مسکرات ننوشیدهام، بلکه جان خود را به حضور خداوندریختهام. | ۱۵ 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.
کنیز خود را از دختران بلیعال مشمار، زیرا که از کثرت غم و رنجیدگی خود تابحال میگفتم.» | ۱۶ 16 |
Do not think that I am a worthless/wicked woman! I have been praying like this because I am very distressed [DOU].”
عیلی در جواب گفت: «به سلامتی برو و خدای اسرائیل مسالتی را که از اوطلب نمودی، تو را عطا فرماید.» | ۱۷ 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.”
گفت: «کنیزت در نظرت التفات یابد.» پس آن زن راه خود را پیش گرفت و میخورد و دیگر ترشرونبود. | ۱۸ 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.
و ایشان بامدادان برخاسته، به حضور خداوند عبادت کردند و برگشته، به خانه خویش به رامه آمدند، و القانه زن خود حنا را بشناخت وخداوند او را به یاد آورد. | ۱۹ 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,
و بعد از مرور ایام حنا حامله شده، پسری زایید و او را سموئیل نام نهاد، زیرا گفت: «او را از خداوند سوال نمودم.» | ۲۰ 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].”
و شوهرش القانه با تمامی اهل خانهاش رفت تا قربانی سالیانه و نذر خود را نزد خداوندبگذراند. | ۲۱ 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].
و حنا نرفت زیرا که به شوهر خودگفته بود تا پسر از شیر باز داشته نشود، نمی آیم، آنگاه او را خواهم آورد و به حضور خداوندحاضر شده، آنجا دائم خواهد ماند. | ۲۲ 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.”
شوهرش القانه وی را گفت: «آنچه در نظرت پسند آید، بکن، تا وقت باز داشتنش از شیر بمان، لیکن خداوند کلام خود را استوار نماید.» پس آن زن ماند و تا وقت بازداشتن پسر خود از شیر، او راشیر میداد. | ۲۳ 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.
و چون او را از شیر باز داشته بود، وی را باسه گاو و یک ایفه آرد و یک مشک شراب با خودآورده، به خانه خداوند در شیلوه رسانید و آن پسر کوچک بود. | ۲۴ 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.
و گاو را ذبح نمودند، و پسررا نزد عیلی آوردند. | ۲۵ 25 |
After the priest had slaughtered the bull [and offered it to Yahweh on the altar], Hannah and Elkanah brought the boy to Eli.
و حنا گفت: «عرض میکنمای آقایم! جانت زنده بادای آقایم! من آن زن هستم که در اینجا نزد تو ایستاده، از خداوندمسئلت نمودم. | ۲۶ 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].
برای این پسر مسالت نمودم وخداوند مسالت مرا که از او طلب نموده بودم، به من عطا فرموده است. | ۲۷ 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.
و من نیز او را برای خداوند وقف نمودم؛ تمام ایامی که زنده باشدوقف خداوند خواهد بود.» پس در آنجا خداوند را عبادت نمودند. | ۲۸ 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.
