1 Samuel 1

1 Había una vez un hombre de Ramataim de Zofim, en la región montañosa de Efraín. Su nombre era Elcana, hijo de Jeroham, hijo de Eliú, hijo de Tohu, hijo de Zuf, de la tribu de Efraín.

And he was a man one from Ramathaim Zophim from [the] hill country of Ephraim and name his [was] Elkanah [the] son of Jeroham [the] son of Elihu [the] son of Tohu [the] son of Zuph an Ephrathite.

2 Elcana tenía dos esposas. El nombre de la primera esposa era Ana, y el de la segunda, Penina. Penina tenía hijos, pero Ana no tenía ninguno.

And [belonged] to him two wives [the] name of one [was] Hannah and [the] name of the second [was] Peninnah and it belonged to Peninnah children and [belonged] to Hannah not children.

3 Todos los años Elcana salía de su ciudad y se iba a adorar y sacrificar al Señor Todopoderoso en Silo, donde los dos hijos de Elí, Ofni y Finees, eran los sacerdotes del Señor.

And he went up the man that from city his from days - days towards to bow down and to sacrifice to Yahweh of hosts at Shiloh and there [the] two [the] sons of Eli Hophni and Phinehas [were] priests of Yahweh.

4 Cada vez que Elcana ofrecía un sacrificio, daba porciones del mismo a Penina, su esposa, y a todos sus hijos e hijas.

And it was the day and he sacrificed Elkanah and he gave to Peninnah wife his and to all sons her and daughters her portions.

5 Y le daba una porción extra a Ana, para mostrar su amor por ella aunque el Señor no le había dado ningún hijo.

And to Hannah he gave a portion one double for Hannah he loved and Yahweh he had closed womb her.

6 Su rival – la otra esposa – se burlaba de ella para entristecerla porque el Señor no le había dado hijos.

And she provoked her rival her also provocation in order to disconcert her for he had closed Yahweh behind womb her.

7 Esta situación duró años, y cada vez que Ana iba al Templo del Señor, Penina se burlaba de ella hasta que Ana lloraba y no podía comer.

And thus he did a year in a year as often as went up she in [the] house of Yahweh thus she provoked her and she wept and not she ate.

8 Su esposo le preguntaba: “Ana, ¿por qué lloras? ¿Por qué no comes? ¿Por qué estás tan alterada? ¿No soy mejor para ti que diez hijos?”

And he said to her Elkanah husband her O Hannah why? do you weep and why? not are you eating and why? is sad heart your ¿ not [am] I good to you more than ten sons.

9 En cierta ocasión, después haber comido y bebido en Silo, Ana se levantó y se dirigió al Templo. El sacerdote Elí estaba sentado en su silla junto a la entrada del Templo del Señor.

And she arose Hannah after had eaten in Shiloh and after had drunk and Eli the priest [was] sitting on the seat at [the] doorpost of [the] temple of Yahweh.

10 Ana estaba terriblemente disgustada, y le oraba al Señor mientras lloraba inconsolablemente.

And she [was] bitter of soul and she prayed to Yahweh and utterly she wept.

11 Allí hizo un voto, pidiendo: “Señor Todopoderoso, si tan sólo te fijas en el sufrimiento de tu sierva y te acuerdas de mí, y no me olvidas, sino que me das un hijo, lo dedicaré al Señor durante toda su vida, y ninguna navaja de afeitar tocará su cabeza”.

And she vowed a vow and she said O Yahweh of hosts certainly [if] you will look - on [the] affliction of maidservant your and you will remember me and not you will forget maidservant your and you will give to maidservant of your spring of men and I will give him to Yahweh all [the] days of life his and a razor not it will go up on head his.

12 Mientras Ana seguía orando ante el Señor, Elí observaba su boca.

And it was that she had increased to pray before Yahweh and Eli [was] watching mouth her.

13 Ana oraba mentalmente, y aunque sus labios se movían, su voz no producía ningún sonido, y por eso Elí pensó que debía estar ebria.

And Hannah she [was] speaking to heart her only lips her [were] quivering and voice her not it was heard and he considered her Eli to a drunken [woman].

14 “¿Tienes que venir aquí estando ebria?”, le preguntó. “¡Ya deja el vino!”

And he said to her Eli until when? will you be drunk! remove wine your from with you.

15 “No es eso, mi señor”, le respondió Ana. “Soy una mujer muy desdichada. No he estado bebiendo vino ni cerveza; sólo estoy derramando mi corazón ante el Señor.

And she answered Hannah and she said no O lord my [am] a woman hard of spirit I and wine and strong drink not I have drunk and I have poured out soul my before Yahweh.

16 ¡Por favor, no pienses que soy una mala mujer! He estado orando a causa de todos mis problemas y penas”.

May not you give maidservant your before a daughter of worthlessness for from [the] greatness of complaint my and provocation my I have spoken until now.

17 “Ve en paz, y que el Dios de Israel te conceda lo que le has pedido”, respondió Elí.

And he answered Eli and he said go to peace and [the] God of Israel may he grant petition your which you have asked from with him.

18 “Gracias por tu bondad con tu sierva”, dijo ella. Luego siguió su camino, comió algo y ya no se veía triste.

And she said may she find maidservant your favor in view your and she went the woman to way her and she ate and face her not they were to her still.

19 A la mañana siguiente, Elcana y Ana se levantaron temprano para adorar al Señor y luego se fueron a su casa en Ramá. Elcana hizo el amor con su esposa Ana, y el Señor accedió a su petición.

And they rose early in the morning and they bowed down before Yahweh and they returned and they went to house their Ramah towards and he knew Elkanah Hannah wife his and he remembered her Yahweh.

20 A su debido tiempo, Ana quedó embarazada y dio a luz un hijo. Le puso el nombre de Samuel, diciendo: “Porque se lo pedí al Señor”.

And it was to [the] circuit of the days and she conceived Hannah and she bore a son and she called name his Samuel for from Yahweh I asked for him.

21 Elcana y toda su familia fueron a hacer el sacrificio anual al Señor y a cumplir sus votos.

And he went up the man Elkanah and all household his to sacrifice to Yahweh [the] sacrifice of the days and vow his.

22 Pero Ana no fue. Le dijo a su marido: “Una vez destetado el niño, lo llevaré para presentarlo al Señor y que se quede allí para siempre”.

And Hannah not she went up for she said to husband her until he will be weaned the lad and I will take him and he will appear with [the] presence of Yahweh and he will dwell there until perpetuity.

23 “Haz lo que creas conveniente”, le respondió su marido Elcana. “Quédate aquí hasta que lo hayas destetado, y que el Señor cumpla lo que ha dicho”. Así que Ana se quedó y amamantó a su hijo hasta que lo destetó.

And he said to her Elkanah husband her do the good in view your remain until wean you him only may he carry out Yahweh word his and she remained the woman and she suckled son her until (had weaned she *LAH(b)*) him.

24 Cuando hubo destetado al niño, Ana se lo llevó junto con un novillo de tres años, un efa de harina y un odre con vino. Aunque el niño era pequeño, lo llevó al Templo del Señor en Silo.

And she brought up him with her just when she had weaned him with young bulls three and an ephah one of flour and a skin of wine and she took him [the] house of Yahweh Shiloh and the lad [was] a lad.

25 Después de sacrificar el novillo, presentaron el niño a Elí.

And they slaughtered the young bull and they brought the lad to Eli.

26 “Por favor, mi señor”, dijo Ana, “con toda seguridad, mi señor, yo soy la mujer que estuvo aquí con usted orando al Señor.

And she said pardon me O lord my [by] [the] life of self your O lord my I [am] the woman who stood with you in this [place] to pray to Yahweh.

27 Yo oré por este niño, y como el Señor me ha dado lo que le pedí,

Concerning the lad this I prayed and he has granted Yahweh to me petition my which I asked from with him.

28 ahora se lo entrego al Señor. Mientras viva estará dedicado al Señor”. Entoncesadoró al Señor en ese lugar.

And also I I entrust him to Yahweh all the days which he has been he [is] asked by Yahweh and he bowed down there to Yahweh.
