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:
Hannah prayed, “I'm so happy in the Lord! He has empowered me! Now I have plenty to say in answer to those who hate me. I celebrate your salvation!
2 яко несть свят яко Господь, и несть праведен яко Бог наш, и несть свят паче Тебе:
There's no one holy like the Lord—no one apart from you, 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:
Don't speak so conceitedly! Don't talk so arrogantly! For the Lord is a God who knows everything—doesn't he judge what you do?
4 лук сильных изнеможе, и немощствующии препоясашася силою:
The weapons of the powerful are shattered, while those who stumble along are made strong.
5 исполненнии хлеба лишишася, и алчущии пришелствоваша землю: яко неплоды роди седмь, и многая в чадех изнеможе:
Those who used to have plenty of food now have to work to earn a crust, while those who used to be hungry now have become fat. The woman who was childless now has seven children, while the woman with many children fades away.
The Lord kills and he revives; he sends some down to the grave, but he raises others up. (Sheol h7585)
7 Господь убожит и богатит, смиряет и высит,
The Lord makes some poor, but others rich; he brings some down, but he lifts others up.
8 возставляет от земли убога и от гноища воздвизает нища посадити его с могущими людий, и престол славы дая в наследие им:
He helps the poor up from the dust; he raises the lowborn from the trash pile and seats them with the upper class in places of honor. For the foundations of the earth belong to the Lord, and he has placed the world on them.
9 даяй молитву молящемуся и благослови лета праведнаго, яко не в крепости силен муж:
He will take care of those who trust him, but the wicked vanish into the darkness, for people don't succeed through their own strength.
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.
The Lord crushes his enemies, he thunders against them from heaven. He rules the whole earth; he strengthens his king, and gives power to the one he has anointed.”
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 home to Ramah while the boy stayed with Eli the priest serving the Lord.
12 Сынове же Илии жерца (быша) сынове погибелнии, не ведуще Господа,
Eli's sons were worthless men who didn't have any time for the Lord
13 ни оправдания жреческа пред людьми всеми жрущими. И прихождаше отрок жреческ, егда варятся мяса, и удица трезубна в руку его,
or their role as priests to the people. They would send one of their servants over with a fork when anyone came to offer a sacrifice.
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.
The servant would stick the fork into the pot while the meat from the sacrifice was being boiled, and would take whatever meat came up on the fork to Eli's sons. This is how they treated all the Israelites who came to Shiloh.
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.
In fact even before the fat of the sacrifice was burned up the servant would come and would demand from the man sacrificing, “Give me meat to roast for the priest. He doesn't want boiled meat from you—he wants it raw.”
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.
The man might answer, “Let me first burn up all the fat, and then you can have as much as you want.” But the priest's servant would reply, “No, you must give it to me now. If you don't, I'll take it by force.”
17 И бе пред Господем грех отроков велий зело, яко отметаху жертву Господню.
The sins of these young men were extremely serious from the Lord's perspective because they were treating with contempt the Lord's offerings.
18 И Самуил бе служа пред Господем, отрочищь сый опоясан во ефуд льнян.
But Samuel served before the Lord—a boy dressed as a priest, wearing 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.
Every year his mother made him a little robe and took it to him when she went with her husband to offer the annual sacrifice.
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.
Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, saying, “May the Lord give you children by this woman to replace the one she prayed for and dedicated to the Lord.” Then they would return home.
21 И посети Господь Бог Анну, и зача, и роди еще три сыны и дщери две. И возвеличися отрок Самуил пред Господем.
The Lord blessed Hannah with three sons and two daughters. The boy Samuel grew up in the presence of 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,
Eli was very old, however he had heard about all the things his sons were doing to the people of Israel, and how they were seducing the women who were serving at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
23 и рече им: почто творите по глаголу сему, егоже аз слышу из уст всех людий Господних (о вас)?
He asked them, “Why are you doing all this? I keep on hearing from everyone about your evil actions.
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 report I hear about you from the Lord's people isn't 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 a man sins against someone, God can intercede for him; but if a man sin against the Lord, who is going to intercede for him?” But they didn't pay attention to what their father said, for the Lord was planning to put them to death.
26 Отрок же Самуил хождаше предуспевая, и бе благ пред Господем и человеки.
The boy Samuel grew physically, and also grew in the approval of both the Lord and the people.
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,
A man of God came to Eli and told him, “This is what the Lord says: Didn't I very clearly reveal myself to your forefather's family when they were ruled by Pharaoh in Egypt?
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:
I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel as my priest, to offer sacrifices on my altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod in my presence. I also gave to your forefather's family all the Israelites' offerings made with fire.
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?
So why have you treated with contempt my sacrifices and offerings that I have ordered for my place of worship? You honor your sons more than me by fattening yourselves with the best parts of all the offerings from my people Israel.
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:
Consequently, this is the declaration of the Lord: I made a definite promise that your family and your father's family would always serve me as priests. But now the Lord declares: Not anymore! Instead I will honor those who honor me, but those who despise me I will treat with contempt.
31 се, дние идут, и потреблю семя твое и семя дому отца твоего, и не будет старца в дому твоем во вся дни,
The time is coming when I will bring your family and your father's family to an end. No one will live to an old age.
32 и узриши державу Мою во всех, имиже разблажает Израиля, и не будет старца в дому твоем во вся дни:
You will see tragedy in the place of worship. While Israel will prosper, no one in your family will ever again reach old age.
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:
Anyone of your family not cut off from serving at my altar will make your eyes weep and cause you grief. All your descendants will die when full of life.
34 и сие тебе знамение, еже приидет на оба сына твоя сия Офни и Финееса: в день един умрут оба:
Here is a sign for you that this will happen regarding your two sons Hophni and Phinehas: both will die 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:
I will choose for myself a trustworthy priest who will do what I really want, what I have in mind. I will make sure he and his descendants are trustworthy and they will always serve my anointed one.
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.
Every one of your descendants who is left will come and bow down to him, asking for money and food, saying, ‘Please give me work as a priest so that I can have food to eat.’”
