Первая книга Царств 1
1 И бысть человек от Армафем Сифы, от горы Ефремли, и имя ему Елкана сын Иеремииль, сына Илиина, сына Фокеля в Насиве от Армафема от горы Ефремли:
There was a certain man from Ramah of Zophim, on Mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
2 и сему две жены (быша): имя единей Анна и имя вторей Феннана: и бяху Феннане дети, Анне же не бяше отрочате.
And he had two wives: the name of one was Hannah, and the name of the second was Peninnah. And Peninnah had sons. But Hannah did not have children.
3 И восхождаше человек от дне до дне из града своего Армафема покланятися и жрети Господу Богу Саваофу в Силом. И тамо бе Илий и два сына его Офни и Финеес, жерцы Господни.
And this man went up from his city, on the established days, so that he might adore and sacrifice to the Lord of hosts at Shiloh. Now the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests of the Lord, were in that place.
4 И бысть день, и пожре Елкана и даде Феннане жене своей и сыном ея и дщерем ея части:
Then the day arrived, and Elkanah immolated. And he gave portions to his wife Peninnah, and to all her sons and daughters.
5 Анне же даде часть едину, яко не бе ей чада, обаче Анну любляше Елкана паче Феннаны. И Господь затвори ложесна ея:
But to Hannah he gave one portion with sorrow. For he loved Hannah, but the Lord had closed her womb.
6 занеже не даде ей Господь чада по скорби ея и по сетованию оскорбления ея, и сетоваше сего ради, яко затвори Господь утробу ея не дати ей чада.
And her rival afflicted her and vehemently distressed her, to a great extent, for she rebuked her that the Lord had closed her womb.
7 Тако творяше от года до года, внегда приходити ей в дом Господень: (укоряше ея тако, ) и сетоваше, и плакаше, и не ядяше.
And she did so every year, when the time returned for them to ascend to the temple of the Lord. And she provoked her in this way. And so, she wept and did not take food.
8 И рече ей Елкана муж ея: Анна. И рече ему: се, аз, господи. И рече ей: что ти есть, яко плачешися? И почто не яси? И почто биеши сердце твое? Несмь ли аз тебе добрее паче десяти чад?
Therefore, her husband Elkanah said to her: “Hannah, why are you weeping? And why do you not eat? And for what reason do you afflict your heart? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”
9 И воставши Анна по ядении их в Силоме, и ста пред Господем. Илий же жрец седяше на престоле, при празе двери храма Господня.
And so, after she ate and drank at Shiloh, Hannah rose up. And Eli, the priest, was sitting on the seat before the door of the temple of the Lord.
10 И та умиленна душею, и помолися Господу и плачущи проплака,
And since Hannah was bitter in soul, she prayed to the Lord, weeping greatly.
11 и обеща обет Господу, глаголющи: Адонаи Господи Елои Саваоф, аще призирая призриши на смирение рабы Твоея и помянеши мя, и даси рабе Твоей семя мужеско, то дам е пред Тобою в дар до дне смерти его: и вина и пиянственнаго не испиет, и железо не взыдет на главу его.
And she made a vow, saying, “O Lord of hosts, if, in looking with favor, you will see the affliction of your servant and will remember me, and will not forget your handmaid, and if you will give to your servant a male child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall pass over his head.”
12 И бысть егда умножи молящися пред Господем, Илий же жрец смотряше на уста ея.
Then it happened that, while she multiplied prayers before the Lord, Eli observed her mouth.
13 И та глаголаше в сердцы своем, токмо устне ея двизастеся, а глас ея не слышашеся: и мняше ю Илий пияну сущу.
For Hannah was speaking in her heart, and only her lips moved, and her voice was barely heard. Therefore, Eli considered her to be drunk,
14 И рече ей Илий: доколе пияна будеши? Отими вино твое и иди от места Господня.
and so he said to her: “How long will you be inebriated? You should take only a little wine, but instead you are drenched.”
15 И отвеща Анна и рече: ни, господи: жена в жесток день аз есмь, вина и пиянства не пих, но изливаю пред Господем душу мою:
Responding, Hannah said: “By no means, my lord. For I am an exceedingly unhappy woman, and I drank neither wine, nor anything that can inebriate. Instead, I have poured out my soul in the sight of the Lord.
16 не даждь рабы твоея во дщерь погибели, яко от множества глумления моего и от множества сетования моего истаях даже доселе.
You should not repute your handmaid as one of the daughters of Belial. For I have been speaking from the abundance of my sorrow and grief, even until now.”
17 И отвеща Илий и рече к ней: иди с миром, Бог Израилев да даст ти все прошение твое, еже просила еси от Него.
Then Eli said to her: “Go in peace. And may the God of Israel grant to you your petition, which you have begged of him.”
18 И рече Анна: обрете раба твоя благодать пред очима твоима. И иде жена в путь свой, и вниде во обитель свою, и яде с мужем своим и пи, и лице ея не испаде ктому.
And she said, “I wish that your handmaid may find grace in your eyes.” And the woman went on her way, and she ate, and her countenance was no longer changed for the worse.
19 И утреневаша заутра, и поклонишася Господу, и идоша путем своим. И вниде Елкана в дом свой во Армафем и позна Елкана жену свою Анну: и помяне ю Господь, и зачат.
And they rose up in the morning, and they worshipped before the Lord. And they returned and arrived at their own house at Ramah. Then Elkanah knew his wife Hannah. And the Lord remembered her.
20 И бысть во время дний, и роди Анна сына и нарече имя ему Самуил: и рече: яко от Господа Бога Саваофа испросих его.
And it happened that, in the course of days, Hannah conceived and bore a son. And she called his name Samuel, because she had requested him from the Lord.
21 И взыде человек Елкана и весь дом его в Силом пожрети жертву дний и обеты своя и вся десятины земли своея.
Now her husband Elkanah ascended with his entire house, so that he might immolate to the Lord a solemn sacrifice, with his vow.
22 Анна же не взыде с ним, яко рече мужеви своему: дондеже взыдет отроча, и аще отдою е, тогда явится лицу Господню и пребудет тамо до века.
But Hannah did not go up. For she said to her husband, “I will not go, until the infant has been weaned, and until I may lead him, so that he may appear before the sight of the Lord, and may remain always there.”
23 И рече ей Елкана муж ея: твори благое пред очима твоима, седи дондеже отдоиши е: но да утвердит Господь (слово твое), изшедшее из уст твоих. И седе жена, и млеком питаше сына своего, дондеже отдои его.
And her husband Elkanah said to her: “Do what seems good to you, and stay until you wean him. And I pray that the Lord may fulfill his word.” Therefore, the woman remained at home, and she breastfed her son, until she withdrew him from milk.
24 И взыде с ним в Силом, егда отдои его, с телцем трилетным и с хлебы и со ефи муки пшеничны и мехом вина: и внидоша в дом Господень в Силом, и отроча с ними.
And after she had weaned him, she brought him with her, along with three calves, and three measures of flour, and a small bottle of wine, and she led him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh. But the boy was still a young child.
25 И приведоша е пред Господа: и закла отец его жертву, юже творяше от дний на дни Господеви: и приведоша отроча, и закла телца. И приведе Анна мати отроча ко Илию
And they immolated a calf, and they presented the boy to Eli.
26 и рече: во мне, господи, да живет душа твоя, господине мой, аз жена стоявшая пред тобою, о сем помолитися Господу:
And Hannah said: “I beg you, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord: I am that woman, who stood before you here, praying to the Lord.
27 о отрочати сем молихся, и даде ми Господь прошение мое, еже просих у Него:
I prayed for this child, and the Lord granted to me my petition, which I asked of him.
28 и аз отдаю е Господеви во вся дни живота его на служение Господеви. И поклонися тамо Господеви.
Because of this, I have also lent him to the Lord, for all the days when he shall be lent to the Lord.” And they adored the Lord in that place. And Hannah prayed, and she said:
