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.
Hannah prayed and said, “My heart exults in Yahweh. My horn is exalted in Yahweh. My mouth boasts over my enemies, because I rejoice in your salvation.
2 Nihče ni svet kakor Gospod, kajti nikogar ni poleg tebe. Niti ni nobene skale, podobne našemu Bogu.
There is no one holy like Yahweh, for there is none besides you; there is no 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.
Boast no more so very proudly; let no arrogance come out of your mouth. For Yahweh is a God of knowledge; 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 men are broken, but those who stumble put on strength like a belt.
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.
Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread; those who were hungry have stopped being hungry. Even the barren one gives birth to seven, but the woman who has many children languishes.
Yahweh kills and brings to life. He brings down to Sheol and raises up. (Sheol h7585)
7 Gospod dela revne in dela bogate, ponižuje in povzdiguje.
Yahweh makes some people poor and some rich. He humbles, but he also lifts 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 raises up the poor out of the dust. He lifts the needy from the ash heap to make them sit with princes and inherit the seat of honor. For the pillars of the earth are Yahweh's and he has 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 will guard the feet of his faithful people, but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness, for no one will prevail by strength.
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.«
Those who oppose Yahweh will be broken to pieces; he will thunder against them from heaven. Yahweh will judge the ends of the earth; he will give strength to 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.
Then Elkanah went to Ramah, to his house. The child served Yahweh 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 worthless men. They did not know Yahweh.
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;
The custom of the priests with the people was that when any man offered a sacrifice, the priest's servant would come with a three-pronged fork in his hand, while the meat was boiling.
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.
He would stick it into the pan, or kettle, or cauldron, or pot. All that the fork brought up the priest would take for himself. They did this in Shiloh with 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.«
Worse, before they burned the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man who was sacrificing, “Give meat to roast for the priest; for he will not accept boiled meat from you, but only 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 must burn the fat first, and then take as much as you want.” Then he would say, “No, you will give it me now; if not, I will take it by force.”
17 Zato je bil greh mladeničev zelo velik pred Gospodom, kajti moža sta prezirala Gospodovo daritev.
The sin of these young men was very great before Yahweh, for they despised Yahweh's offering.
18 Toda Samuel je služil pred Gospodom, ko je bil še otrok, opasan z lanenim efódom.
But Samuel served Yahweh as a child clothed 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.
His mother would make him a little robe and bring it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer 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.
Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife and say, “May Yahweh give you more children by this woman because of the request she made of Yahweh.” Then they would return 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.
Yahweh again helped Hannah, and again she became pregnant. She bore three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile, the child Samuel grew before Yahweh.
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.
Now Eli was very old; he heard all that his sons were doing to all Israel, and how they slept with the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
23 Rekel jima je: »Zakaj počneta takšne stvari? Kajti od vsega ljudstva slišim o vajinih zlih postopanjih.
He said to them, “Why do you such things? For I hear of your evil actions from all these 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 not a good report that I hear. You make Yahweh's people disobey.
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 sins against another, God will judge him; but if a man sins against Yahweh, who will speak for him?” But they would not listen to the voice of their father, because Yahweh intended to kill them.
26 Otrok Samuel pa je rasel in bil je v naklonjenosti tako z Gospodom kakor tudi z ljudmi.
The child Samuel grew up, and increased in favor with Yahweh 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?
Now a man of God came to Eli and said to him, “Yahweh says, 'Did I not reveal myself to the house of your ancestor, when they were in Egypt in bondage to 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?
I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, and to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me. I gave to the house of your ancestor all the offerings of the people of Israel made with fire.
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?‹
Why, then, do you scorn my sacrifices and offerings that I required in the place where I live? Why do you honor your sons above me by making yourselves fat with the best of every offering of my people Israel?'
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.
For Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, 'I promised that your house, and the house of your ancestor, should walk before me forever.' But now Yahweh says, 'Far be it from me to do this, for I will honor those who honor me, but those who despise me will be lightly esteemed.
31 Glej, pridejo dnevi, ko bom odsekal tvoj laket in laket hiše tvojega očeta, da v tvoji hiši ne bo starca.
See, the days are coming when I will cut off your strength and the strength of your father's house, so that there will no longer be any old man in your 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.
You will see distress in the place where I live. Although good will be given to Israel, there will no longer be any old man in your house.
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.
Any one of you that I do not cut off from my altar, I will cause your eyes to fail, and I will cause grief for your life. All the men born in your family will die.
34 To ti bo znamenje, ki bo prišlo nad tvoja dva sinova, na Hofníja in Pinhása; v enem dnevu bosta oba izmed njiju umrla.
This will be the sign for you that will come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: They will both die on the same day.
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.
I will raise up for myself a faithful priest who will do what is in my heart and in my soul. I will build him a sure house; and he will walk before my anointed king forever.
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.‹«
Everyone who is left in your house will come and bow down to him, asking for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and will say, “Please assign me to one of the priests' positions so I can eat a piece of bread.”'”
