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:

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.

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] Anna, and the name of the second Phennana. And Phennana had children, but Anna had no child.

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.

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.

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

And the day came, and Helkana sacrificed, and gave portions to his wife Phennana and her children.

5 Анне же даде часть едину, яко не бе ей чада, обаче Анну любляше Елкана паче Феннаны. И Господь затвори ложесна ея:

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 Helkana her husband said to her, Anna: and she said to him, Here [am] I, my lord: and he said to her, What ails thee that thou weepest? and why dost thou not eat? and why does thy heart smite thee? [am] I not better to thee than ten children?

9 И воставши Анна по ядении их в Силоме, и ста пред Господем. Илий же жрец седяше на престоле, при празе двери храма Господня.

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.

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

And she [was] very much grieved in spirit, and prayed to the Lord, and wept abundantly.

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 to the Lord, saying, O Lord God of Sabaoth, if thou welt indeed look upon the humiliation of thine handmaid, and remember me, and give to thine handmaid a man-child, then will I indeed dedicate him to thee till the day of his death; and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink, and no razor shall come upon his head.

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

And it came to pass, while she was long praying before the Lord, that Heli the priest marked 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, and her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: and Heli accounted her a drunken woman.

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

And the servant of Heli said to her, How long wilt thou be drunken? take away thy wine from thee, and go out from the presence of 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 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.

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

Count not thy handmaid for a pestilent woman, for by reason of the abundance of my importunity I have continued [my prayer] until now.

17 И отвеща Илий и рече к ней: иди с миром, Бог Израилев да даст ти все прошение твое, еже просила еси от Него.

And Heli answered and said to her, Go in peace: the God of Israel give thee all thy petition, which thou hast 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.

And she said, Thine handmaid has found favour in thine 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.

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.

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.

20 И бысть во время дний, и роди Анна сына и нарече имя ему Самуил: и рече: яко от Господа Бога Саваофа испросих его.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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 Helkana her husband said to her, Do that which is good in thine eyes, abide still until thou shalt have weaned him; but may the Lord establish that which comes out of thy mouth: and the woman tarried, and suckled her son until she had 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.

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.

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 they brought him before the Lord; and his father slew his offering which he offered from year to year to the Lord; and he brought near the child, and slew the calf; and Anna the mother of the child brought him to Heli.

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

And she said, I pray thee, my lord, as thy soul liveth, I [am] the woman that stood in thy presence with thee while 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 request that I asked of him.

28 и аз отдаю е Господеви во вся дни живота его на служение Господеви. И поклонися тамо Господеви.

And I lend him to the Lord all his days that he lives, a loan to the Lord: and she said,
