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.
My heart is established in the Lord, my horn is exalted in my God; my mouth is enlarged over my enemies, I have rejoiced in thy salvation.
2 Nihče ni svet kakor Gospod, kajti nikogar ni poleg tebe. Niti ni nobene skale, podobne našemu Bogu.
For there is none holy as the Lord, and there is none righteous as our God; there is none holy besides thee.
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 not, and utter not high things; let not high-sounding words come out of your mouth, for the Lord [is] a God of knowledge, and God prepares his own designs.
4 Loki mogočnih mož so zlomljeni in tisti, ki so se spotaknili, so opasani z močjo.
The bow of the mighty has waxed feeble, and the weak have girded themselves 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 of bread are brought low; and the hungry have forsaken the land; for the barren has born seven, and she that abounded in children has waxed feeble.
The Lord kills and makes alive; he brings down to the grave, and brings up. (Sheol h7585)
7 Gospod dela revne in dela bogate, ponižuje in povzdiguje.
The Lord makes poor, and makes rich; he brings low, and 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 lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises the needy from the dunghill; to seat him with the princes of the people, and causing them to inherit the throne of glory:
9 Varoval bo stopala svojih svetih in zlobni bodo tiho v temi, kajti noben človek ne bo prevladal z močjo.
granting his petition to him that prays; and he blesses the years of the righteous, for by strength cannot 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.«
The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall 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 departed to Armathaim: and the child ministered in the presence of the Lord before Heli the priest.
12 Torej Élijeva sinova sta bila Beliálova sinova; onadva nista poznala Gospoda.
And the sons of Heli the priest [were] evil sons, not knowing the Lord.
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 priest's claim from every one of the people that sacrificed [was this: ] the servant of the priest came when the flesh was in seething, and a flesh-hook of three teeth [was] 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 great caldron, or into the brazen vessel, or into the pot, and whatever came up with the flesh-hook, the priest took for himself: so they did to all Israel that came to sacrifice to the Lord in Selom.
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.«
And before the fat was burnt for a sweet savour, the servant of the priest would come, and say to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest, and I will by no means take of thee sodden flesh out of the caldron.
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.«
And [if] the man that sacrificed said, First let the fat be burned, as it is fit, and take for thyself of all things which thy soul desires: then he would say, Nay, for thou shalt give it me 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.
So the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord, for they set at nought the offering of the Lord.
18 Toda Samuel je služil pred Gospodom, ko je bil še otrok, opasan z lanenim efódom.
And Samuel ministered before the Lord, a child girt 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 doublet, and brought it to him from year to year, in her going up in company 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.
And Heli blessed Helcana and his wife, saying The Lord recompense to thee seed of this woman, in return for the loan which thou hast lent to the Lord: and the man returned to his place.
21 Gospod je obiskal Ano, tako da je spočela in rodila [še] tri sinove in dve hčeri. Otrok Samuel pa je rasel pred Gospodom.
And the Lord visited Anna, and she bore yet three sons, and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the Lord.
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 Heli [was] very old, and he heard what his sons did to the children of Israel.
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 according to this thing, which I hear from the mouth of all the people of the Lord?
24 Ne, moja sinova, kajti to ni dober glas, ki ga slišim. Vidva povzročata Gospodovemu ljudstvu, da greši.
Nay [my] sons, for the report which I hear [is] not good; do not so, for the reports which I hear [are] not good, so that the people do not serve God.
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 a man should at all sin against another, then shall they pray for him to the Lord; but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall intreat for him? But they hearkened not to the voice of their father, because the Lord would by all means destroy them.
26 Otrok Samuel pa je rasel in bil je v naklonjenosti tako z Gospodom kakor tudi z ljudmi.
And the child Samuel advanced, and was in favour with God and 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 a man of God came to Heli, and said, Thus says the Lord, I plainly revealed myself to the house of thy father, when they were servants in Egypt to the house of Pharao.
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 I chose the house of thy father out of all the tribes of Israel to minister to me in the priest's office, to go up to my altar, and to burn incense, and to wear an ephod. And I gave to the house of thy father all the offerings by fire of the children of Israel for food.
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?‹
And wherefore hast thou looked upon my incense-offering and my meat-offering with a shameless eye, and hast honoured thy sons above me, so that they should bless themselves with the first-fruits of every sacrifice of Israel before me?
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.
Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel, I said, Thy house and the house of thy father shall pass before me for ever: but now the Lord says, That be far from me; for I will only honour them that honour me, and he that sets me at nought shall be despised.
31 Glej, pridejo dnevi, ko bom odsekal tvoj laket in laket hiše tvojega očeta, da v tvoji hiši ne bo starca.
Behold, the days come when I will destroy thy seed and the seed of thy father's 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 not have an old man in my 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 [if] I do not destroy a man of thine from my altar, [it shall be] that his eyes may fail and his soul may perish; and every one that remains in thy house shall fall by the sword of men.
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 which shall come upon thy two sons Ophni and Phinees shall be a sign to thee; in one day they shall both die.
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 to myself a faithful priest, who shall do all that is in my heart and in my soul; and I will build him a sure house, and he shall walk before my Christ for ever.
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 he that survives in thy house, shall come to do obeisance before him for a little piece of silver, saying, Put me into one of thy priest's offices to eat bread.
