Первая книга Царств 2
1 И помолися Анна и рече: утвердися сердце мое в Господе, вознесеся рог мой в Бозе моем, разширишася уста моя на враги моя, возвеселихся о спасении Твоем:
And Hannah, in prayer before the Lord, said, My heart is glad in the Lord, my horn is lifted up in the Lord: my mouth is open wide over my haters; because my joy is in your salvation.
2 яко несть свят яко Господь, и несть праведен яко Бог наш, и несть свят паче Тебе:
No other is holy as the Lord, for there is no other God but you: there is no Rock like our God.
3 не хвалитеся и не глаголите высокая в гордыни, ниже да изыдет велеречие из уст ваших: яко Бог разумов Господь, и Бог уготовляяй начинания Своя:
Say no more words of pride; let not uncontrolled sayings come out of your mouths: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, by him acts are judged.
4 лук сильных изнеможе, и немощствующии препоясашася силою:
The bows of the men of war are broken, and the feeble are clothed with strength.
5 исполненнии хлеба лишишася, и алчущии пришелствоваша землю: яко неплоды роди седмь, и многая в чадех изнеможе:
Those who were full are offering themselves as servants for bread; those who were in need are at rest; truly, she who had no children has become the mother of seven; and she who had a family is wasted with sorrow.
The Lord is the giver of death and life: sending men down to the underworld and lifting them up. (Sheol h7585)
7 Господь убожит и богатит, смиряет и высит,
The Lord gives wealth and takes a man's goods from him: crushing men down and again lifting them up;
8 возставляет от земли убога и от гноища воздвизает нища посадити его с могущими людий, и престол славы дая в наследие им:
Lifting the poor out of the dust, and him who is in need out of the lowest place, to give them their place among rulers, and for their heritage the seat of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's and he has made them the base of the world.
9 даяй молитву молящемуся и благослови лета праведнаго, яко не в крепости силен муж:
He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the evil-doers will come to their end in the dark night, for by strength no man will overcome.
10 Господь немощна сотвори сопостата Его, Господь свят: да не хвалится премудрый премудростию своею, и да не хвалится сильный силою своею, и да не хвалится богатый богатством своим: но о сем да хвалится хваляйся, еже разумети и знати Господа, и творити суд и правду посреде земли: Господь взыде на небеса и возгреме: той судит концем земли, праведен сый, и даст крепость царем нашым и вознесет рог христа Своего.
Those who make war against the Lord will be broken; against them he will send his thunder from heaven: the Lord will be judge of the ends of the earth, he will give strength to his king, lifting up the horn of him on whom the holy oil has been put.
11 И оставиша его тамо пред Господем и отидоша во Армафем в дом свой: отроча же бе служа лицу Господню пред лицем Илии жерца.
Then Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child became the servant of the Lord under the direction of Eli the priest.
12 Сынове же Илии жерца (быша) сынове погибелнии, не ведуще Господа,
Now the sons of Eli were evil and good-for-nothing men, having no knowledge of the Lord.
13 ни оправдания жреческа пред людьми всеми жрущими. И прихождаше отрок жреческ, егда варятся мяса, и удица трезубна в руку его,
And the priests' way with the people was this: when any man made an offering, the priest's servant came while the flesh was being cooked, having in his hand a meat-hook with three teeth;
14 и влагаше ю в коноб великий, или в медяный сосуд, или горнец, и все еже вонзеся на удицу, взимаше е себе жрец: и тако творяху всему Израилеви приходящему пожрети Господеви в Силоме.
This he put into the pot, and everything which came up on the hook the priest took for himself. This they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.
15 И прежде каждения тука, прихождаше отрок жреческ и глаголаше мужеви жрущему: даждь мяса испещи жерцу, и не возму от тебе мяса варенаго от коноба.
And more than this, before the fat was burned, the priest's servant would come and say to the man who was making the offering, Give me some of the flesh to be cooked for the priest; he has no taste for meat cooked in water, but would have you give it uncooked.
16 И глаголаше муж жряй: да покадится первее тук, якоже подобает, и тогда возмеши себе от всех, еже хощет душа твоя. И рече: ни, ныне даждь: аще же не даси, возму силою.
And if the man said to him, First let the fat be burned, then take as much as you will; then the servant would say, No, you are to give it to me now, or I will take it by force.
17 И бе пред Господем грех отроков велий зело, яко отметаху жертву Господню.
And the sin of these young men was very great before the Lord; for they gave no honour to the Lord's offerings.
18 И Самуил бе служа пред Господем, отрочищь сый опоясан во ефуд льнян.
But Samuel did the work of the Lord's house, while he was a child, dressed in a linen ephod.
19 И хламиду малу сотвори ему мати его, и приношаше ему от дний во дни, егда восхождаше с мужем своим пожрети жертву дний.
And his mother made him a little robe and took it to him every year when she came with her husband for the year's offering.
20 И благослови Илий Елкану и жену его, глаголя: да воздаст ти Господь семя от жены сея за дар, егоже даровал еси Господеви. И отиде человек в место свое.
And every year Eli gave Elkanah and his wife a blessing, saying, May the Lord give you offspring by this woman in exchange for the child you have given to the Lord. And they went back to their house.
21 И посети Господь Бог Анну, и зача, и роди еще три сыны и дщери две. И возвеличися отрок Самуил пред Господем.
And the Lord had mercy on Hannah and she gave birth to three sons and two daughters. And the young Samuel became older before the Lord.
22 Илий же состареся зело: и услыша, яже творяху сынове его всем сыном Израилевым, и яко бываху с женами предстоящими у дверий скинии свидения,
Now Eli was very old; and he had news from time to time of what his sons were doing to all Israel.
23 и рече им: почто творите по глаголу сему, егоже аз слышу из уст всех людий Господних (о вас)?
And he said to them, Why are you doing such things? for from all this people I get accounts of your evil ways.
24 Ни, чада, ни: яко не благ слух, егоже аз слышу о вас: не творите тако, яко не добры слухи, яже аз слышу, еже не работати людем Богу:
No, my sons, the account which is given me, which the Lord's people are sending about, is not good.
25 аще согрешая согрешит муж мужеви, помолятся о нем ко Господу: аще же Господеви согрешит, кто помолится о нем? И не послушаста гласа отца своего, яко хотяй восхоте Господь погубити я.
If one man does wrong to another, God will be his judge: but if a man's sin is against the Lord, who will take up his cause? But they gave no attention to the voice of their father, for it was the Lord's purpose to send destruction on them.
26 Отрок же Самуил хождаше предуспевая, и бе благ пред Господем и человеки.
And the young Samuel, becoming older, had the approval of the Lord and of men.
27 И прииде человек Божий ко Илию и рече: сия глаголет Господь: открываяся открыхся в дому отца твоего, сущым им в земли Египетстей рабом в дому фараони,
And a man of God came to Eli and said to him, The Lord says, Did I let myself be seen by your father's people when they were in Egypt, servants in Pharaoh's house?
28 и избрах дом отца твоего от всех домов Израилевых Мне служити, еже восходити ко олтарю Моему и кадити кадилом и носити ефуд, и дах дому отца твоего вся, яже огня жертвенная сынов Израилевых, в снедь:
Did I take him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest and to go up to my altar to make the smoke of the offerings go up and to take up the ephod? Did I give to your father's family all the offerings made by fire by the children of Israel?
29 и почто ты воззрел еси на фимиам Мой и на жертву Мою безстудным оком, и прославил сыны твоя паче Мене, еже благословляти начаток всякия жертвы Израилевы предо Мною?
Why then are you looking with envy on my offerings of meat and of meal which were ordered by my word, honouring your sons before me, and making yourselves fat with all the best of the offerings of Israel, my people?
30 Сего ради сия глаголет Господь Бог Израилев, глаголя: рекох, дом твой и дом отца твоего прейдет предо Мною до века: а ныне глаголет Господь: никакоже Мне, зане токмо прославляющыя Мя прославлю, и уничижаяй Мя безчестен будет:
For this reason the Lord God of Israel has said, Truly I did say that your family and your father's people would have their place before me for ever: but now the Lord says, Let it not be so; I will give honour to those by whom I am honoured, and those who have no respect for me will be of small value in my eyes.
31 се, дние идут, и потреблю семя твое и семя дому отца твоего, и не будет старца в дому твоем во вся дни,
See, the days are coming when your arm and the arm of your father's people will be cut off;
32 и узриши державу Мою во всех, имиже разблажает Израиля, и не будет старца в дому твоем во вся дни:
And never again will there be an old man in your family.
33 и мужа не истреблю тебе от олтаря Моего, во еже оскудети очесем его и истаяти души его: и вси прочии дому твоего падут оружием мужеским:
But one man of your family will not be cut off by my hand, and his eyes will be made dark, and grief will be in his heart: and all the offspring of your family will come to their end by the sword of men.
34 и сие тебе знамение, еже приидет на оба сына твоя сия Офни и Финееса: в день един умрут оба:
And this will be the sign to you, which will come on Hophni and Phinehas, your sons; death will overtake them on the same day.
35 и возставлю Себе жерца верна, иже вся яже в сердцы Моем и яже в души Моей сотворит, и созижду ему дом верен, и предидет пред христом Моим во вся дни:
And I will make a true priest for myself, one who will do what is in my heart and in my mind: and I will make for him a family which will not come to an end; and his place will be before my holy one for ever.
36 и будет всяк оставшийся в дому твоем приидет поклонитися ему с цатою сребра и хлебом единым, глаголя: приими мя к единому от священнослужений твоих, еже ясти хлеб.
Then it will be that the rest of your family, anyone who has not been cut off, will go down on his knees to him for a bit of silver or a bit of bread, and say, Be pleased to put me into one of the priest's places so that I may have a little food.
