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:

Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim, a Zuphite of the hill country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Toah, 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 the one was Hannah, and the name of the other, Peninnah. And Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no 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.

This man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests of the LORD, were there.

4 И бысть день, и пожре Елкана и даде Феннане жене своей и сыном ея и дщерем ея части:

When the day came for Elkanah to sacrifice, he would give portions to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and her 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 would give a double portion because he loved Hannah. Now the LORD had kept her from conceiving.

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 because the LORD kept her from conceiving, her rival used to taunt her severely, to irritate her.

7 Тако творяше от года до года, внегда приходити ей в дом Господень: (укоряше ея тако, ) и сетоваше, и плакаше, и не ядяше.

And this went on year after year, as often as she went up to the house of the LORD, she taunted her; therefore she would weep and refuse to eat.

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?

And her husband Elkanah said to her, "Hannah, why are you weeping? And why are you not eating? And why are you so sad? 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.

So Hannah got up after eating and drinking in Shiloh, and stood before the LORD. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the temple of the LORD.

10 И та умиленна душею, и помолися Господу и плачущи проплака,

And she was greatly distressed and prayed to the LORD, and wept uncontrollably.

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 vowed a vow and said, "LORD of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your servant and remember me and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a son, then I will set him before you as a Nazirite until the day of his death. And he will not drink wine or strong drink, and no razor will come on his head."

12 И бысть егда умножи молящися пред Господем, Илий же жрец смотряше на уста ея.

Now it happened, as she continued praying before the LORD, that 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.

And she was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk.

14 И рече ей Илий: доколе пияна будеши? Отими вино твое и иди от места Господня.

So Eli said to her, "How long will you make yourself drunk? Put away your wine, and go from before the LORD."

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:

And Hannah answered, "No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I poured out my soul before the LORD.

16 не даждь рабы твоея во дщерь погибели, яко от множества глумления моего и от множества сетования моего истаях даже доселе.

Do not count your servant as a worthless woman; for I have been speaking out of the abundance of my distress and my anguish."

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 answered, "Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked 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.

She said, "Let your servant find favor in your sight." So the woman went her way, and entered her quarters, and ate; and her facial expression wasn't sad any more.

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.

They rose up in the morning early, and worshiped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; 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.

It happened, when the time had come, that Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she named him Samuel, saying, "Because I have asked him of the LORD."

21 И взыде человек Елкана и весь дом его в Силом пожрети жертву дний и обеты своя и вся десятины земли своея.

The man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and to redeem his vow and all the tithes of his land.

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, "Not until the child is weaned; then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and stay there forever."

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 Elkanah her husband said to her, "Do what seems good in your eyes. Wait until you have weaned him; only may the LORD establish what you have said." So the woman waited and nursed her son, until she weaned him.

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.

Then she took him to Shiloh along with a three-year old bull, and bread, and an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine. And she came to the house of the LORD in Shiloh, and the boy was with them. And they went before the LORD and his father slaughtered the sacrifice, which he did annually to the LORD. Then he brought the boy,

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 he slaughtered the bull. And Hannah, the mother of the boy, brought him to Eli.

26 и рече: во мне, господи, да живет душа твоя, господине мой, аз жена стоявшая пред тобою, о сем помолитися Господу:

She said, "Oh, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to the LORD.

27 о отрочати сем молихся, и даде ми Господь прошение мое, еже просих у Него:

For this child I prayed; and the LORD has given 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.

Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD. As long as he lives he is lent to the LORD." Then she left him there, and she worshipped before the LORD.
