1 Samuel 1

1 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.

There was a man of Ramathaimsophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elcana, the son of Jeroham, the son of Eliu, the son of Thohu, the son of Suph, an Ephraimite:

2 Ta je imel dve ženi. Ime ene je bilo Ana in ime druge Penína. Penína je imela otroke, toda Ana ni imela otrok.

And he had two wives, the name of one was Anna, and the name of the other Phenenna. Phenenna had children: but Anna had no children.

3 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.

And this man went up out of his city upon the appointed days, to adore and to offer sacrifice to the Lord of hosts in Silo. And the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were there priests of the Lord.

4 Ko je bil čas, da Elkaná daruje, je dal deleže svoji ženi Peníni in vsem njenim sinovom in njenim hčeram,

Now the day came, and Elcana offered sacrifice, and gave to Phenenna his wife, and to all her sons and daughters, portions:

5 toda Ani je dal vreden delež, kajti Ano je ljubil. Toda Gospod je zaprl njeno maternico.

But to Anna he gave one portion with sorrow, because he loved Anna. And the Lord had shut up her womb.

6 Njena nasprotnica jo je boleče dražila, da bi jo razburila, ker je Gospod zaprl njeno maternico.

Her rival also afflicted her, and troubled her exceedingly, insomuch that she upbraided her, that the Lord had shut up her womb:

7 Ko je tako delala leto za letom, ko je šla gor do Gospodove hiše, jo je tako razdražila; zato je jokala in ni jedla.

And thus she did every year, when the time returned that they went up to the temple of the Lord: and thus she provoked her: but Anna wept, and did not eat.

8 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?«

Then Elcana her husband said to her: Anna, why weepest thou? and why dost thou not eat? And why dost thou afflict thy heart? Am not I better to thee than ten children?

9 Tako je Ana vstala, potem ko so v Šilu pojedli in popili. Torej duhovnik Éli je sedel na sedežu pri podboju Gospodovega templja.

So Anna arose after she had eaten and drunk in Silo: And Heli the priest sitting upon a stool, before the door of the temple of the Lord:

10 Ona pa je bila v grenkobi duše in molila h Gospodu in bridko jokala.

As Anna had her heart full of grief, she prayed to the Lord, shedding many tears,

11 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.«

And she made a vow, saying: O Lord, of hosts, if thou wilt look down on the affliction of thy servant, and wilt be mindful of me, and not forget thy handmaid, and wilt give to thy servant a man child: I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.

12 Pripetilo se je, ko je nadaljevala moleč pred Gospodom, da je Éli opazil njena usta.

And it came to pass, as she multiplied prayers before the Lord, that Heli observed her mouth.

13 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.

Now Anna spoke in her heart, and only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard at all. Heli therefore thought her to be drunk,

14 Éli ji je rekel: »Doklej boš pijana? Odloži svoje vino od sebe.«

And said to her: How long wilt thou, be drunk? digest a little the wine, of which thou hast taken too much.

15 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.

Anna answering, said: Not so, my lord: for I am an exceeding unhappy woman, and have drunk neither wine nor any strong drink, but I have poured out my soul before the Lord.

16 Svoje pomočnice ne štej za Beliálovo hčer, kajti iz obilja svoje pritožbe in žalosti sem doslej govorila.«

Count not thy handmaid for one of the daughters of Belial: for out of the abundance of my sorrow and grief have I spoken till now.

17 Potem je Éli odgovoril in rekel: »Pojdi v miru in Izraelov Bog ti zagotovi prošnjo, ki si jo prosila od njega.«

Then Heli said to her: Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition, which thou hast asked of him.

18 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.

And she said: Would to God thy handmaid may find grace in thy eyes. So the woman went on her way, and ate, and her countenance was no more changed.

19 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.

And they rose in the morning, and worshipped before the Lord: and they returned, and came into their house at Ramatha. And Elcana knew Anna his wife: and the Lord remembered her.

20 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.«

And it came to pass when the time was come about, Anna conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel: because she had asked him of the Lord.

21 Mož Elkaná in vsa njegova hiša, so odšli gor, da darujejo Gospodu letno klavno daritev in svojo zaobljubo.

And Elcana her husband went up, and all his house, to offer to the Lord the solemn sacrifice, and his vow.

22 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.«

But Anna went not up: for she said to her husband: I will not go till the child be weaned, and till I may carry him, that he may appear before the Lord, and may abide always there.

23 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.

And Elcana her husband said to her: Do what seemeth good to thee, and stay till thou wean him: and I pray that the Lord may fulfill his word. So the woman stayed at home, and gave her son suck, till she weaned him.

24 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.

And after she had weaned him, she carried him with her, with three calves, and three bushels of flour, and a bottle of wine, and she brought him to the house of the Lord in Silo. Now the child was as yet very young:

25 Usmrtili so bikca in otroka privedli k Éliju.

And they immolated a calf, and offered the child to Heli.

26 Rekla je: »Oh moj gospod, kakor živi tvoja duša, moj gospod, jaz sem ženska, ki je stala tukaj pri tebi, moleč h Gospodu.

And Anna said: I beseech thee, my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord: I am that woman who stood before thee here praying to the Lord.

27 Za tega otroka sem molila in Gospod mi je izpolnil prošnjo, ki sem jo prosila od njega,

For this child did I pray, and the Lord hath granted me my petition, which I asked of him.

28 zato sem ga tudi posodila Gospodu. Kakor dolgo živi, bo posojen Gospodu.« In tam je oboževal Gospoda.

Therefore I also have lent him to the Lord all the days of his life, he shall be lent to the Lord. And they adored the Lord there. And Anna prayed, and said:
