Kings I 1
1 There was a man of Armathaim Sipha, of mount Ephraim, and his name [was] Helkana, a son of Jeremeel the son of Elias the son of Thoke, in Nasib Ephraim.
Torej tam je bil nek mož iz Ramatájim Cofíma, z gore Efrájim in njegovo ime je bilo Elkaná, sin Jeroháma, sinú Elihúja, sinú Tohuja, sinú Cufa, Efrátejec.
2 And he [had] two wives; the name of the one [was] Anna, and the name of the second Phennana. And Phennana had children, but Anna had no child.
Ta je imel dve ženi. Ime ene je bilo Ana in ime druge Penína. Penína je imela otroke, toda Ana ni imela otrok.
3 And the man went up from year to year from his city, from Armathaim, to worship and sacrifice to the Lord God of Sabaoth at Selom: and [there were] Heli and his two sons Ophni and Phinees, the priests of the Lord.
Ta mož je vsako leto šel gor iz svojega mesta, da obožuje in žrtvuje Gospodu nad bojevniki v Šilu. In dva Élijeva sinova, Hofní in Pinhás, Gospodova duhovnika, sta bila tam.
4 And the day came, and Helkana sacrificed, and gave portions to his wife Phennana and her children.
Ko je bil čas, da Elkaná daruje, je dal deleže svoji ženi Peníni in vsem njenim sinovom in njenim hčeram,
5 And to Anna he gave a prime portion, because she had no child, only Helkana loved Anna more than the other; but the Lord [had] closed her womb.
toda Ani je dal vreden delež, kajti Ano je ljubil. Toda Gospod je zaprl njeno maternico.
6 For the Lord gave her no child in her affliction, and according to the despondency of her affliction; and she was dispirited on this account, that the Lord shut up her womb so as not to give her a child.
Njena nasprotnica jo je boleče dražila, da bi jo razburila, ker je Gospod zaprl njeno maternico.
7 So she did year by year, in going up to the house of the Lord; and she was dispirited, and wept, and did not eat.
Ko je tako delala leto za letom, ko je šla gor do Gospodove hiše, jo je tako razdražila; zato je jokala in ni jedla.
8 And Helkana her husband said to her, Anna: and she said to him, Here [am] I, my lord: and he said to her, What ails you that you weep? and why do you not eat? and why does your heart strike you? [am] I not better to you than ten children?
Potem ji je njen soprog Elkaná rekel: »Ana, zakaj jokaš? Zakaj ne ješ? Zakaj je tvoje srce užaloščeno? Ali ti nisem boljši kakor deset sinov?«
9 And Anna rose up after they had eaten in Selom, and stood before the Lord: and Heli the priest [was] on a seat by the threshold of the temple of the Lord.
Tako je Ana vstala, potem ko so v Šilu pojedli in popili. Torej duhovnik Éli je sedel na sedežu pri podboju Gospodovega templja.
10 And she [was] very much grieved in spirit, and prayed to the Lord, and wept abundantly.
Ona pa je bila v grenkobi duše in molila h Gospodu in bridko jokala.
11 And she vowed a vow to the Lord, saying, O Lord God of Sabaoth, if you welt indeed look upon the humiliation of your handmaid, and remember me, and give to your handmaid a boy, then will I indeed dedicate him to you till the day of his death; and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink, and no razor shall come upon his head.
Zaobljubila je zaobljubo in rekla: »Oh Gospod nad bojevniki, če zares hočeš pogledati na stisko svoje pomočnice in se me spomniš in ne pozabiš svoje pomočnice, temveč hočeš svoji pomočnici dati fantka, potem ga bom izročila Gospodu [za] vse dni njegovega življenja in britev ne bo prišla na njegovo glavo.«
12 And it came to pass, while she was long praying before the Lord, that Heli the priest marked her mouth.
Pripetilo se je, ko je nadaljevala moleč pred Gospodom, da je Éli opazil njena usta.
13 And she was speaking in her heart, and her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: and Heli accounted her a drunken woman.
Torej Ana, ona je govorila v svojem srcu, premikale pa so se samo njene ustnice, toda njenega glasu ni bilo slišati. Zato je Éli mislil, da je bila pijana.
14 And the servant of Heli said to her, How long will you be drunken? take away your wine from you, and go out from the presence of the Lord.
Éli ji je rekel: »Doklej boš pijana? Odloži svoje vino od sebe.«
15 And Anna answered and said, Nay, my lord, [I live] in a hard day, and I have not drunk wine or strong drink, and I pour out my soul before the Lord.
Ana je odgovorila in rekla: »Ne, moj gospod, jaz sem ženska žalostnega duha. Niti nisem pila vina niti močne pijače, temveč sem svojo dušo izlila pred Gospodom.
16 Count not your handmaid for a pestilent woman, for by reason of the abundance of my importunity I have continued [my prayer] until now.
Svoje pomočnice ne štej za Beliálovo hčer, kajti iz obilja svoje pritožbe in žalosti sem doslej govorila.«
17 And Heli answered and said to her, Go in peace: the God of Israel give you all your petition, which you have asked of him.
Potem je Éli odgovoril in rekel: »Pojdi v miru in Izraelov Bog ti zagotovi prošnjo, ki si jo prosila od njega.«
18 And she said, Your handmaid has found favour in your eyes: and the woman went her way, and entered into her lodging, and ate and drank with her husband, and her countenance was no more sad.
Rekla je: »Naj tvoja pomočnica najde milost v tvojem pogledu.« Tako je ženska odšla svojo pot in jedla in njeno obličje ni bilo več žalostno.
19 And they rise early in the morning, and worship the Lord, and they go their way: and Helkana went into his house at Armathaim, and knew his wife Anna; and the Lord remembered her, and she conceived.
Vstali so zgodaj zjutraj in oboževali pred Gospodom in se vrnili in prišli k svoji hiši v Ramo. Elkaná je spoznal svojo ženo Ano in Gospod se jo je spomnil.
20 And it came to pass when the time was come, that she brought forth a son, and called his name Samuel, and said, Because I asked him of the Lord God of Sabaoth.
Zato se je pripetilo, ko je prišel čas, potem ko je Ana spočela, da je rodila sina in njegovo ime je imenovala Samuel, rekoč: »Ker sem ga prosila od Gospoda.«
21 And the man Helkana and all his house went up to offer in Selom the yearly sacrifice, and his vows, and all the tithes of his land.
Mož Elkaná in vsa njegova hiša, so odšli gor, da darujejo Gospodu letno klavno daritev in svojo zaobljubo.
22 But Anna did not go up with him, for she said to her husband, [I will not go up] until the child goes up, when I have weaned him, and he shall be presented before the Lord, and he shall abide there continually.
Toda Ana ni odšla gor, kajti svojemu soprogu je rekla: » Ne bom šla gor, dokler ne bo otrok odstavljen in tedaj ga bom privedla, da se prikaže pred Gospodom in tam ostane za vedno.«
23 And Helkana her husband said to her, Do that which is good in your eyes, abide still until you shall have weaned him; but may the Lord establish that which comes out of your mouth: and the woman tarried, and suckled her son until she had weaned him.
Njen soprog Elkaná ji je rekel: »Stôri, kar se ti zdi dobro. Ostani, dokler ga ne odstaviš. Samo Gospod [naj] uveljavi svojo besedo.« Tako je ženska ostala in dojila svojega sina, dokler ga ni odstavila.
24 And she went up with him to Selom with a calf of three years old, and loaves, and an ephah of fine flour, and a bottle of wine: and she entered into the house of the Lord in Selom, and the child with them.
Ko ga je odstavila, ga je s seboj vzela gor, s tremi bikci, enim škafom moke in mehom vina ter ga privedla v Gospodovo hišo v Šilo. Otrok pa je bil mlad.
25 And they brought him before the Lord; and his father killed his offering which he offered from year to year to the Lord; and he brought near the child, and killed the calf; and Anna the mother of the child brought him to Heli.
Usmrtili so bikca in otroka privedli k Éliju.
26 And she said, I pray you, my lord, as your soul lives, I [am] the woman that stood in your presence with you while praying to the Lord.
Rekla je: »Oh moj gospod, kakor živi tvoja duša, moj gospod, jaz sem ženska, ki je stala tukaj pri tebi, moleč h Gospodu.
27 For this child I prayed; and the Lord has given me my request that I asked of him.
Za tega otroka sem molila in Gospod mi je izpolnil prošnjo, ki sem jo prosila od njega,
28 And I lend him to the Lord all his days that he lives, a loan to the Lord: and she said,
zato sem ga tudi posodila Gospodu. Kakor dolgo živi, bo posojen Gospodu.« In tam je oboževal Gospoda.
