1 Samuelova 1
1 Bijaše jedan èovjek iz Ramatajim-Sofima, iz gore Jefremove, kojemu ime bješe Elkana sin Jeroama, sina Eliva, sina Tova, sina Sufova, Efraæanin.
There was a man of Armathaim Sipha, of mount Ephraim, and his name [was] Helkana, a son of Jeremeel the son of Elias the son of Thoke, in Nasib Ephraim.
2 I imaše dvije žene, jednoj bješe ime Ana a drugoj Fenina; i Fenina imaše djece, a Ana nemaše djece.
And he [had] two wives; the name of the one [was] Anna, and the name of the second Phennana. And Phennana had children, but Anna had no child.
3 I iðaše taj èovjek svake godine iz svojega grada da se pokloni i prinese žrtvu Gospodu nad vojskama u Silom; a ondje bijahu dva sina Ilijeva, Ofnije i Fines, sveštenici Gospodnji.
And the man went up from year to year from his city, from Armathaim, to worship and sacrifice to the Lord God of Sabaoth at Selom: and [there were] Heli and his two sons Ophni and Phinees, the priests of the Lord.
4 I jedan dan kad Elkana prinese žrtvu, dade Fenini ženi svojoj i svijem sinovima njezinijem i kæerima njezinijem po dio;
And the day came, and Helkana sacrificed, and gave portions to his wife Phennana and her children.
5 Ani pak dade dva dijela, jer ljubljaše Anu, a njoj Gospod bješe zatvorio matericu.
And to Anna he gave a prime portion, because she had no child, only Helkana loved Anna more than the other; but the Lord [had] closed her womb.
6 I protivnica je njezina vrlo cvijeljaše prkoseæi joj što joj Gospod bješe zatvorio matericu.
For the Lord gave her no child in her affliction, and according to the despondency of her affliction; and she was dispirited on this account, that the Lord shut up her womb so as not to give her a child.
7 Tako èinjaše Elkana svake godine, i Ana hoðaše u dom Gospodnji, a ona je cvijeljaše, te plakaše i ne jeðaše.
So she did year by year, in going up to the house of the Lord; and she was dispirited, and wept, and did not eat.
8 A Elkana muž njezin reèe joj jednom: Ana, zašto plaèeš? i zašto ne jedeš? i zašto je srce tvoje neveselo? Nijesam li ti ja bolji nego deset sinova?
And Helkana her husband said to her, Anna: and she said to him, Here [am] I, my lord: and he said to her, What ails you that you weep? and why do you not eat? and why does your heart strike you? [am] I not better to you than ten children?
9 A Ana usta, pošto jedoše i piše u Silomu; a Ilije sveštenik sjeðaše na stolici na pragu doma Gospodnjega.
And Anna rose up after they had eaten in Selom, and stood before the Lord: and Heli the priest [was] on a seat by the threshold of the temple of the Lord.
10 I ona tužna u srcu pomoli se Gospodu plaèuæi mnogo.
And she [was] very much grieved in spirit, and prayed to the Lord, and wept abundantly.
11 I zavjetova se govoreæi: Gospode nad vojskama! ako pogledaš na muku sluškinje svoje, i opomeneš me se, i ne zaboraviš sluškinje svoje, nego daš sluškinji svojoj muško èedo, ja æu ga dati Gospodu dokle je god živ, i britva neæe prijeæi preko glave njegove.
And she vowed a vow to the Lord, saying, O Lord God of Sabaoth, if you welt indeed look upon the humiliation of your handmaid, and remember me, and give to your handmaid a boy, then will I indeed dedicate him to you till the day of his death; and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink, and no razor shall come upon his head.
12 I kad se ona dugo moljaše pred Gospodom, Ilije motraše na usta njezina.
And it came to pass, while she was long praying before the Lord, that Heli the priest marked her mouth.
13 Ali Ana govoraše u srcu svojem, usta joj se samo micahu a glas joj se ne èujaše; stoga Ilije pomisli da je pijana.
And she was speaking in her heart, and her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: and Heli accounted her a drunken woman.
14 Pa joj reèe Ilije: dokle æeš biti pijana? otrijezni se od vina svojega.
And the servant of Heli said to her, How long will you be drunken? take away your wine from you, and go out from the presence of the Lord.
15 Ali Ana odgovori i reèe: nijesam pijana, gospodaru, nego sam žena tužna u srcu; nijesam pila vina ni silovita piæa; nego izlijevam dušu svoju pred Gospodom.
And Anna answered and said, Nay, my lord, [I live] in a hard day, and I have not drunk wine or strong drink, and I pour out my soul before the Lord.
16 Nemoj jednaèiti sluškinje svoje s nevaljalom ženom; jer sam od velike tuge i žalosti svoje govorila dosad.
Count not your handmaid for a pestilent woman, for by reason of the abundance of my importunity I have continued [my prayer] until now.
17 Tada odgovori Ilije i reèe: idi s mirom; a Bog Izrailjev da ti ispuni molbu, za što si ga molila.
And Heli answered and said to her, Go in peace: the God of Israel give you all your petition, which you have asked of him.
18 A ona reèe: neka naðe sluškinja tvoja milost pred tobom! Tada otide žena svojim putem, i jede, i lice joj ne bješe više kao prije.
And she said, Your handmaid has found favor in your eyes: and the woman went her way, and entered into her lodging, and ate and drank with her husband, and her countenance was no more sad.
19 I sjutradan uraniše, i pokloniše se Gospodu, i vratiše se i doðoše kuæi svojoj u Ramat. I Elkana pozna Anu ženu svoju, i Gospod se opomenu nje.
And they rise early in the morning, and worship the Lord, and they go their way: and Helkana went into his house at Armathaim, and knew his wife Anna; and the Lord remembered her, and she conceived.
20 I kad bi vrijeme pošto Ana zatrudnje rodi sina, i nadje mu ime Samuilo, jer, reèe, isprosih ga u Gospoda.
And it came to pass when the time was come, that she brought forth a son, and called his name Samuel, and said, Because I asked him of the Lord God of Sabaoth.
21 Potom poðe onaj èovjek Elkana sa svijem domom svojim da prinese Gospodu godišnju žrtvu i zavjet svoj.
And the man Helkana and all his house went up to offer in Selom the yearly sacrifice, and his vows, and all the tithes of his land.
22 Ali Ana ne poðe, jer reèe mužu svojemu: dokle odojim dijete, onda æu ga odvesti da izide pred Gospoda i ostane ondje dovijeka.
But Anna did not go up with him, for she said to her husband, [I will not go up] until the child goes up, when I have weaned him, and he shall be presented before the Lord, and he shall abide there continually.
23 I reèe joj Elkana muž njezin: èini kako ti drago; ostani dokle ga ne odojiš; samo da hoæe Gospod ispuniti rijeè svoju. I tako žena osta; i dojaše sina svojega dokle ga ne odoji.
And Helkana her husband said to her, Do that which is good in your eyes, abide still until you shall have weaned him; but may the Lord establish that which comes out of your mouth: and the woman tarried, and suckled her son until she had weaned him.
24 A kad ga odoji, odvede ga sa sobom uzevši tri teleta i efu brašna i mijeh vina, i uvede ga u dom Gospodnji u Silomu; a dijete bijaše još malo.
And she went up with him to Selom with a calf of three years old, and loaves, and an ephah of fine flour, and a bottle of wine: and she entered into the house of the Lord in Selom, and the child with them.
25 I zaklaše tele, i dovedoše dijete k Iliju.
And they brought him before the Lord; and his father killed his offering which he offered from year to year to the Lord; and he brought near the child, and killed the calf; and Anna the mother of the child brought him to Heli.
26 I ona reèe: èuj gospodaru, kako je živa duša tvoja, gospodaru, ja sam ona žena koja je stajala ovdje kod tebe moleæi se Gospodu.
And she said, I pray you, my lord, as your soul lives, I [am] the woman that stood in your presence with you while praying to the Lord.
27 Molih se za ovo dijete, i ispuni mi Gospod molbu moju, za što sam ga molila.
For this child I prayed; and the Lord has given me my request that I asked of him.
28 Zato i ja dajem njega Gospodu, dokle je god živ, da je dat Gospodu. I pokloniše se ondje Gospodu.
And I lend him to the Lord all his days that he lives, a loan to the Lord: and she said,
