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:
Then Hannah prayed, saying, “I rejoice in [what] you, [, have done]. I am strong [MET] because I belong to you. I (laugh at/ridicule) my enemies, because you, Yahweh have rescued me [from being taunted by them].
2 яко несть свят яко Господь, и несть праведен яко Бог наш, и несть свят паче Тебе:
There is no one who is holy like you, Yahweh. There is no other god like you. There is no one like you, our God, who can protect us [as though you were putting us beneath] a huge rock [where we can hide from danger].
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:
[You people who oppose God], stop boasting! Yahweh is a God who knows [everything], and he will evaluate/judge everyone’s actions. So don’t speak so arrogantly!
4 лук сильных изнеможе, и немощствующии препоясашася силою:
Yahweh, you break the bows/weapons of mighty soldiers, and you give strength to those who stumble [because of being weak].
5 исполненнии хлеба лишишася, и алчущии пришелствоваша землю: яко неплоды роди седмь, и многая в чадех изнеможе:
Many people who previously had plenty to eat, now have to work for other people [to earn money] to buy food, but many who were always hungry are not hungry any more. The woman who did not have any children before, now has given birth to many/seven children, and the woman who had many children before, now is very lonely [because they have all died].
Yahweh, you cause some people to die, and you restore some people who are almost dead. For some people, [it seems that they will soon] go to where the dead people are, but you cause them to become healthy again. (Sheol h7585)
7 Господь убожит и богатит, смиряет и высит,
Yahweh, you cause some people to be poor and you cause some people to be rich, you humble some people and you honor some people.
8 возставляет от земли убога и от гноища воздвизает нища посадити его с могущими людий, и престол славы дая в наследие им:
[Sometimes] you lift poor people up so that they are no longer [despondent, sitting in the dust, ] or sitting on heaps of ashes; you cause them to sit next to princes; you cause them to sit on chairs/thrones where people who are highly honored sit. Yahweh, you are the one who laid the foundations of the earth, and you have set the whole world on those foundations.
9 даяй молитву молящемуся и благослови лета праведнаго, яко не в крепости силен муж:
You will protect your loyal/faithful people [SYN], but you will cause the wicked to die [EUP] and descend to the dark [place where dead people are]. We do not defeat [our enemies] by our 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.
Yahweh, you will break into pieces those who oppose you. You will cause thunder in the sky to show that you (oppose/are angry with) them. Yahweh, you will judge [people everywhere, even those who live in] the most remote places on the earth. You will give strength to the king whom you will appoint, and give him great power [over his enemies].”
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 [and his family] returned to Ramah, but Samuel, the little boy, stayed to help Eli the priest serve Yahweh.
12 Сынове же Илии жерца (быша) сынове погибелнии, не ведуще Господа,
Eli’s two [, who were also priests, ] were very wicked. They did not revere (OR, respect/obey) Yahweh.
13 ни оправдания жреческа пред людьми всеми жрущими. И прихождаше отрок жреческ, егда варятся мяса, и удица трезубна в руку его,
While the people were boiling the meat from their sacrifices [in the huge pot at the temple], one of Eli’s sons, [would send his servant to come with a large three-pronged fork in his hand].
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.
[He] would stick the fork into [the meat in] the pot, and whatever meat fastened onto the fork, he would take [and give it] to the priest who sent him. Eli’s sons did this to all the Israeli people who came to Shiloh [to offer sacrifices].
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.
Furthermore, before the fat [on the meat] was [cut off and] and burned [as a sacrifice to Yahweh], the servant of the priest would [sometimes] come to the man who was making the sacrifice and say to him, “Give me some meat [now to take] to the priest for him to roast! He wants raw meat; he does not want boiled meat.”
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.
If the man said to the servant, “Let the priests [cut off and] burn the fat first; then you can take what you want,” the servant would reply, “No, give it to me now; if you do not give it to me, I will take it forcefully!”
17 И бе пред Господем грех отроков велий зело, яко отметаху жертву Господню.
Yahweh considered that the young [sons of Eli] were committing a very great sin, because they were treating very disrespectfully the offerings that were being given to Yahweh.
18 И Самуил бе служа пред Господем, отрочищь сый опоясан во ефуд льнян.
As for Samuel, who was still a very young boy, he continued to do work for Yahweh, wearing a little sacred linen vest [like the Supreme Priest wore].
19 И хламиду малу сотвори ему мати его, и приношаше ему от дний во дни, егда восхождаше с мужем своим пожрети жертву дний.
Each year his mother made a [new] little robe for him and took it to him when she went up [to Shiloh] with her husband to offer a 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.
Then Eli would [ask God to] bless Elkanah and his wife, and he would say to Elkanah, “I hope/desire that Yahweh will enable your wife to give birth to other children, to take the place of the one whom she dedicated to Yahweh.” Then Elkanah and his family 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.
And Yahweh was very kind to Hannah, and enabled her to give birth to three [other] sons and two daughters. Their son Samuel grew up while he was doing work for Yahweh [in the Sacred Tent].
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 became very old. He often heard about all the [evil] things that his sons were doing to the Israeli people. He heard that they [sometimes] (slept with/had sex with) the women who worked at the entrance to the tent where [God] spoke to [his people].
23 и рече им: почто творите по глаголу сему, егоже аз слышу из уст всех людий Господних (о вас)?
He said to them, “(It is terrible that you do such things!/Why do you do such things?) [RHQ] Many people keep telling me about the evil things that you do.
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:
My sons, stop it! The reports [about you] that the people who belong to Yahweh tell others are terrible [EUP]!
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 person sins against another person, God can (intercede/act as a referee) between them. But if someone sins against Yahweh, no one can [RHQ] (intercede/act as a referee) between them!” But Eli’s sons would not listen to what their father said. This was because Yahweh had decided [that someone should] them.
26 Отрок же Самуил хождаше предуспевая, и бе благ пред Господем и человеки.
The boy Samuel continued to grow up, and the things that he did pleased Yahweh 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,
One day, a prophet came to Eli and told him, “This is what Yahweh has told me: ‘When your ancestors were slaves of the king of Egypt, I appeared to Aaron.
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:
From all the tribes of the Israeli people, I chose him [and his male descendants] to be priests for me. I appointed them to go up to my altar, to burn incense, to wear a sacred apron [as they worked] for me. And I declared that they could take [and eat some of the meat] that the Israeli people burned [on the altar].
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 do you show disrespect for the sacrifices and offerings that I commanded [the people to bring] to me [RHQ]? You are honoring your sons more than you are honoring me, by allowing them to get fat from eating the best parts of all the sacrifices that the Israeli people bring to me!’
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:
“Therefore, this is what Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], declares: ‘I definitely promised that Aaron and his descendants would continue to serve [IDM] me forever.’ But now I declare this: ‘It will not continue like that! I will honor those who honor me, but I will despise those who despise me.
31 се, дние идут, и потреблю семя твое и семя дому отца твоего, и не будет старца в дому твоем во вся дни,
Listen carefully! There will soon be a time when I will cause all the strong [young men] in your family to die. The result will be that no men in your family will [live long enough to] become old men.
32 и узриши державу Мою во всех, имиже разблажает Израиля, и не будет старца в дому твоем во вся дни:
You will be distressed and envious as you see the blessings that I will give to [the other people in] Israel. And [I repeat that] no men in your family will ever live long enough to become old men.
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:
There is one of your descendants whom I will spare, and not prevent him from serving me as a priest. But he will become blind, and then he will always be sad and grieving. But all your other descendants will die violently.
34 и сие тебе знамение, еже приидет на оба сына твоя сия Офни и Финееса: в день един умрут оба:
And your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, will both die on the same day. And that will prove to you [that all that I have said will come true/happen].
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:
‘have chosen another man to be my priest. He is one who will serve me faithfully: He will do everything I want [DOU] him to do. And I will enable him to have many descendants [IDM] who will be priests and will always serve me by helping the king whom I will choose.
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.
All of your descendants who remain alive will have to go to that priest and ask him to give them money and food, and they will each have to say, “Please allow me to help the other priests, in order that I may [earn some money to] buy some food.”’”
