1 Samuel 2
1 Ana je molila in rekla: »Moje srce se razveseljuje v Gospodu, moj rog je povišan v Gospodu. Moja usta so povečana nad mojimi sovražniki, ker se veselim v tvoji rešitvi duše.
And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart exulteth in Jehovah, my horn is lifted up in Jehovah; my mouth is opened wide over mine enemies; for I rejoice in thy salvation.
2 Nihče ni svet kakor Gospod, kajti nikogar ni poleg tebe. Niti ni nobene skale, podobne našemu Bogu.
There is none holy as Jehovah, for there is none beside thee, neither is there any rock like our God.
3 Ne govorite več tako silno ponosno, naj aroganca ne pride iz vaših ust, kajti Gospod je Bog spoznanja in pri njem so tehtana dejanja.
Do not multiply your words of pride, let not vain-glory come out of your mouth; For Jehovah is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
4 Loki mogočnih mož so zlomljeni in tisti, ki so se spotaknili, so opasani z močjo.
The bow of the mighty is broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
5 Tisti, ki so bili siti, so se dali v najem zaradi kruha; tisti, ki so bili lačni, so oslabeli, tako, da je jalova rodila sedmero in tista, ki ima mnogo otrok, je postala slabotna.
They that were full have hired themselves out for bread; and the hungry are [so] no more: Even the barren beareth seven, and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.
Jehovah killeth, and maketh alive; he bringeth down to Sheol, and bringeth up. (Sheol h7585)
7 Gospod dela revne in dela bogate, ponižuje in povzdiguje.
Jehovah maketh poor, and maketh rich, he bringeth low, also he lifteth up:
8 Revnega vzdiguje iz prahu in berača povzdiguje iz gnojišča, da ju posadi med prince in jima stori, da podedujeta prestol slave, kajti stebri zemlje so Gospodovi in nanje je postavil zemeljski [krog].
He raiseth up the poor out of the dust; from the dung-hill he lifteth up the needy, To set [him] among nobles; and he maketh them inherit a throne of glory; For the pillars of the earth are Jehovah's, and he hath set the world upon them.
9 Varoval bo stopala svojih svetih in zlobni bodo tiho v temi, kajti noben človek ne bo prevladal z močjo.
He keepeth the feet of his saints, but the wicked are silenced in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
10 Gospodovi nasprotniki bodo zlomljeni na koščke. Iz nebes bo zagrmel nad njimi. Gospod bo sodil konce zemlje; moč bo dal svojemu kralju in povišal rog svojega maziljenca.«
They that strive with Jehovah shall be broken to pieces; in the heavens will he thunder upon them. Jehovah will judge the ends of the earth; and he will give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
11 Elkaná je odšel v Ramo, k svoji hiši. Otrok pa je služil Gospodu pred duhovnikom Élijem.
And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the boy ministered to Jehovah in the presence of Eli the priest.
12 Torej Élijeva sinova sta bila Beliálova sinova; onadva nista poznala Gospoda.
Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not Jehovah.
13 In običaj duhovnikov z ljudstvom je bil, da ko je katerikoli mož daroval klavno daritev, je prišel duhovnikov služabnik, medtem ko je meso vrelo, s kavljem za meso, s tremi zobmi, v svoji roki;
And the priests' custom with the people was, when any man sacrificed a sacrifice, the priest's servant came, when the flesh was cooked, with a flesh-hook of three prongs in his hand;
14 in to zabodel v ponev ali kotliček ali kotel ali lonec; vse, kar so kavlji za meso prinesli gor, je duhovnik vzel zase. Tako sta počela v Šilu vsem Izraelcem, ki so prihajali tja.
and he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or cauldron, or pot; the priest took of it all that the flesh-hook brought up. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites that came there.
15 Tudi preden so sežgali tolščo, je prišel duhovnikov služabnik in rekel možu, ki je daroval: »Izroči meso za pečenje duhovniku, kajti od tebe ne bo imel kuhanega mesa, temveč surovega.«
Even before they burned the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest, and he will not accept sodden flesh of thee, but raw.
16 Če pa bi mu katerikoli moški rekel: »Naj ne izpustijo, da sedaj zažgejo tolščo, potem pa vzemi, kolikor si želi tvoja duša; « Potem bi mu odgovoril: » Ne, temveč mi boš to dal sedaj. Če pa ne, bom to vzel s silo.«
If the man said to him, They will immediately burn the fat entire, then take as thy soul desires; he would say [to him], No, but thou shalt give [it] now; and if not, I will take [it] by force.
17 Zato je bil greh mladeničev zelo velik pred Gospodom, kajti moža sta prezirala Gospodovo daritev.
And the sin of the young men was very great before Jehovah, for men despised the offering of Jehovah.
18 Toda Samuel je služil pred Gospodom, ko je bil še otrok, opasan z lanenim efódom.
And Samuel ministered before Jehovah, a boy girded with a linen ephod.
19 Poleg tega mu je mati iz leta v leto izdelala majhen plašč in ga prinesla k njemu, ko je prišla gor s svojim soprogom, da daruje letno klavno daritev.
And his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to sacrifice the yearly sacrifice.
20 Éli je blagoslovil Elkaná in njegovo ženo ter rekel: » Gospod ti daj seme od te ženske, zaradi posojila, ki je posojen Gospodu.« In odšli so na svoj dom.
And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, Jehovah give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to Jehovah. And they went to their own home.
21 Gospod je obiskal Ano, tako da je spočela in rodila [še] tri sinove in dve hčeri. Otrok Samuel pa je rasel pred Gospodom.
So Jehovah visited Hannah, and she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters. And the boy Samuel grew before Jehovah.
22 Torej Éli je bil zelo star in slišal vse, kar sta njegova sinova počela vsemu Izraelu in kako sta ležala z ženskami, ki so se zbirale pri vratih šotorskega svetišča skupnosti.
And Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons were doing to all Israel, and that they lay with the women that served at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
23 Rekel jima je: »Zakaj počneta takšne stvari? Kajti od vsega ljudstva slišim o vajinih zlih postopanjih.
And he said to them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil deeds from all this people.
24 Ne, moja sinova, kajti to ni dober glas, ki ga slišim. Vidva povzročata Gospodovemu ljudstvu, da greši.
No, my sons, for it is no good report that I hear: ye make Jehovah's people transgress.
25 Če en mož greši zoper drugega, ga bo sodil sodnik, toda če mož greši zoper Gospoda, kdo bo posredoval zanj.« Vendar nista prisluhnila glasu svojega očeta, ker ju je Gospod hotel ubiti.
If one man sin against another, God will judge him; but if a man sin against Jehovah, who shall intreat for him? But they hearkened not to the voice of their father, for Jehovah was minded to slay them.
26 Otrok Samuel pa je rasel in bil je v naklonjenosti tako z Gospodom kakor tudi z ljudmi.
And the boy Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with Jehovah and also with men.
27 K Éliju je prišel Božji mož ter mu rekel: »Tako govori Gospod: ›Ali sem se očitno prikazal hiši tvojega očeta, ko so bili v Egiptu, v faraonovi hiši?
And there came a man of God to Eli and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah: Did I plainly reveal myself to the house of thy father when they were in Egypt, in Pharaoh's house,
28 In ali sem ga izbral izmed vseh Izraelovih rodov, da bo moj duhovnik, da daruje na mojem oltarju, da zažiga kadilo, da nosi efód pred menoj? In ali sem dal hiši tvojega očeta vse daritve, narejene z ognjem, Izraelovih otrok?
and choose him out of all the tribes of Israel, to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear the ephod before me? and I gave unto the house of thy father all the offerings by fire of the children of Israel.
29 Zakaj brcate ob mojo klavno daritev in ob mojo daritev, ki sem jo zapovedal v svojem prebivališču in svoja sinova bolj častiš kakor mene, da ste se odebelili z glavnimi izmed vseh daritev Izraela, mojega ljudstva?‹
Wherefore do ye trample upon my sacrifice and upon mine oblation which I have commanded [in my] habitation? And thou honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the primest of all the oblations of Israel my people.
30 Zato govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Zares sem rekel, da naj bi tvoja hiša in hiša tvojega očeta hodili pred menoj na veke.‹ Toda sedaj govori Gospod: ›To bodi daleč od mene, kajti tiste, ki spoštujejo mene, bom jaz spoštoval in tisti, ki me prezirajo, bodo prezirani.
Wherefore Jehovah the God of Israel saith, I said indeed, Thy house and the house of thy father should walk before me for ever. But now Jehovah saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
31 Glej, pridejo dnevi, ko bom odsekal tvoj laket in laket hiše tvojega očeta, da v tvoji hiši ne bo starca.
Behold, days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thy house.
32 In ti boš videl sovražnika v mojem prebivališču v vsem bogastvu, ki ga bo Bog dal Izraelu, in v tvoji hiši na veke ne bo starca.
And thou shalt see an oppressor [in my] habitation, amidst all the good that shall be done to Israel; and there shall not be an old man in thy house for ever.
33 Moški od tebe, ki ga ne bom odsekal izpred svojega oltarja, bo [preostal], da použije tvoje oči in da žalosti tvoje srce in ves narast tvoje hiše bo umrl v cvetu njihove starosti.
And the man of thine [whom] I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to cause thine eyes to fail and to grieve thy soul; and all the increase of thy house shall die in their vigour.
34 To ti bo znamenje, ki bo prišlo nad tvoja dva sinova, na Hofníja in Pinhása; v enem dnevu bosta oba izmed njiju umrla.
And this shall be the sign to thee, which shall come upon thy two sons, upon Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die, both of them.
35 Jaz pa si bom dvignil zvestega duhovnika, ki bo delal glede na to, kar je v mojem srcu in v mojem umu in zgradil mu bom zanesljivo hišo; in ta bo hodil pred mojim maziljencem na veke.
And I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, [who] shall do according to what is in my heart and in my mind; and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed continually.
36 Zgodilo se bo, da bo vsak, kdor preostane v tvoji hiši, prišel in klečeplazil k njemu za košček srebra in grižljaj kruha in rekel bo: ›Postavi me, prosim te, v eno izmed duhovniških služb, da bom lahko jedel kos kruha.‹«
And it shall come to pass [that] every one that is left of thy house shall come to crouch to him for a small piece of silver and for a cake of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priestly offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread.
