1 Samuelova 2
1 Nato se Ana pomoli ovako: “Kliče srce moje u Jahvi, raste snaga moja po Bogu mom. Šire mi se usta na dušmane moje, jer se radujem pomoći tvojoj.
And Hannah prayed, and said, Mine heart reioyceth in the Lord, mine horne is exalted in the Lord: my mouth is enlarged ouer mine enemies, because I reioyce in thy saluation.
2 Nitko nije svet kao što je Jahve (jer nema nikoga osim tebe), i nema hridi kao što Bog je naš.
There is none holy as the Lord: yea, there is none besides thee, and there is no god like our God.
3 Ne govorite mnogo hvastavih riječi, neka ne izlazi drskost iz usta vaših, jer Jahve je sveznajući Bog, pravo on prosuđuje djela.
Speake no more presumptuously: let not arrogancie come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him enterprises are established.
4 Lomi se luk junacima, nemoćni se snagom opasuju.
The bow and the mightie men are broken, and the weake haue girded themselues with strength.
5 Nekoć siti sad se za kruh muče, nekoć gladni ne gladuju više. Nerotkinja rađa sedam puta, majka brojne djece svježinu izgubi.
They that were full, are hired foorth for bread, and the hungrie are no more hired, so that the barren hath borne seuen: and shee that had many children, is feeble.
The Lord killeth and maketh aliue: bringeth downe to the graue and raiseth vp. (Sheol h7585)
7 Jahve čini uboga i bogata, obara čovjeka i uzvisuje.
The Lord maketh poore and maketh rich: bringeth lowe, and exalteth.
8 Diže slabića iz prašine, iz bunjišta izvlači uboga, da ih posadi s knezovima i da im odredi počasna mjesta. Jer Jahvini su stupovi zemlje, na njih je stavio ovaj svijet.
He raiseth vp ye poore out of the dust, and lifteth vp the begger from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherite the seate of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lordes, and he hath set the world vpon them.
9 Korake čuva svojih vjernika, zlikovce stiže propast u mraku (svojom snagom čovjek ne stječe pobjede).
Hee will keepe the feete of his Saintes, and the wicked shall keepe silence in darkenes: for in his owne might shall no man be strong.
10 Koji se protive Jahvi, padaju, Svevišnji grmi s nebesa. Jahve sudi međama zemlje, daje silu svojemu kralju, uzdiže snagu pomazanika svoga.”
The Lordes aduersaries shall be destroyed, and out of heauen shall he thunder vpon them: the Lord shall iudge the endes of the worlde, and shall giue power vnto his King, and exalt the horne of his Anoynted.
11 Potom se Ana vrati u Ramu, a dječak ostade da služi Jahvi pod okom svećenika Elija.
And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house, and the childe did minister vnto the Lord before Eli the Priest.
12 A Elijevi sinovi bijahu nevaljali ljudi jer nisu marili za Jahvu
Now the sonnes of Eli were wicked men, and knewe not the Lord.
13 ni za prava svećenika nasuprot narodu: kad bi tko prinosio žrtvu, došao bi sluga svećenikov, dok se meso još kuhalo, s trorogom vilicom u ruci
For the Priestes custome towarde the people was this: when any man offered sacrifice, the Priestes boy came, while the flesh was seething, and a fleshhooke with three teeth, in his hand,
14 i zabadao njom u kotlić ili u lonac, u tavu ili u zdjelu, i što god bi se nabolo na vilicu, uzimao je svećenik sebi. Tako su činili svim Izraelcima što su dolazili onamo, u Šilo.
And thrust it into the kettle, or into the caldron, or into the panne, or into the potte: all that the fleshhooke brought vp, the Priest tooke for himselfe: thus they did vnto all the Israelites, that came thither to Shiloh.
15 Tako i prije nego bi se spalilo salo, došao bi sluga svećenikov i rekao čovjeku koji je prinosio žrtvu: “Daj mi mesa da ispečem svećeniku! On neće od tebe kuhana mesa nego samo sirovo.”
Yea, before they burnt the fat, the priests boy came and saide to the man that offered, Giue me flesh to rost for the priest: for he wil not haue sodden flesh of thee, but rawe.
16 Ako bi mu čovjek tada rekao: “Neka se najprije spali salo, a onda uzmi što ti duša želi”, on bi odgovorio: “Ne, nego daj odmah! Ako ne daš, uzet ću silom.”
And if any man saide vnto him, Let them burne the fatte according to the custome, then take as much as thine heart desireth: then hee would answere, No, but thou shalt giue it nowe: and if thou wilt not, I will take it by force.
17 Grijeh je mladića bio vrlo velik pred Jahvom, jer su ljudi prezirali žrtvu koja se prinosila Jahvi.
Therefore the sinne of the yong men was very great before the Lord: for men abhorred the offering of the Lord.
18 A Samuel služaše pred Jahvom, još dijete u oplećku lanenom.
Now Samuel being a yong childe ministred before the Lord, girded with a linen Ephod.
19 Mati bi mu njegova napravila dolamicu i donosila mu je svake godine kad bi dolazila s mužem svojim da prinese godišnju žrtvu.
And his mother made him a litle coat, and brought it to him from yeere to yeere, when she came vp with her husband, to offer the yerely sacrifice.
20 A Eli bi blagoslovio Elkanu i njegovu ženu govoreći: “Neka ti Jahve dade poroda od te žene na uzdarje za dar što ga je dala Jahvi.” Nato bi se vraćali svojoj kući.
And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The Lord giue thee seede of this woman, for the petition that she asked of the Lord: and they departed vnto their place.
21 Jahve pohodi Anu i ona zatrudnje i rodi još tri sina i dvije kćeri. A mladi je Samuel rastao pred Jahvom.
And the Lord visited Hannah, so that she conceiued, and bare three sonnes, and two daughters. And the childe Samuel grewe before the Lord.
22 Eli je bio već vrlo star, ali je ipak čuo sve što su njegovi sinovi činili svemu Izraelu.
So Eli was very olde, and heard all that his sonnes did vnto all Israel, and howe they laye with the women that assembled at the doore of the tabernacle of the Congregation.
23 I on im reče: “Zašto radite takvo što da o tome moram slušati od svega ovog naroda?
And hee saide vnto them, Why doe ye such things? for of all this people I heare euill reportes of you.
24 Nemojte tako, sinovi moji! Nisu dobri glasovi što ih čujem ... Sablažnjujete narod Jahvin.
Do no more, my sonnes, for it is no good report that I heare, which is, that ye make the Lords people to trespasse.
25 Ako čovjek zgriješi čovjeku, Bog će prosuditi. Ali ako čovjek zgriješi Jahvi, tko će se zauzeti za njega?” Ali sinovi ne poslušaše glasa oca svojega, jer je Jahve odlučio da ih pogubi.
If one man sinne against another, the Iudge shall iudge it: but if a man sinne against the Lord, who will pleade for him? Notwithstanding they obeyed not the voyce of their father, because the Lord would slay them.
26 A mladi je Samuel sve više rastao u dobi i mudrosti i pred Jahvom i pred ljudima.
(Nowe the childe Samuel profited and grewe, and was in fauour both with the Lord and also with men)
27 Uto dođe jedan Božji čovjek k Eliju i reče mu: “Ovako govori Jahve: 'Nisam li se jasno objavio domu oca tvojega kad su bili u Egiptu, robovi u kući faraonovoj?
And there came a man of God vnto Eli, and said vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Did not I plainely appeare vnto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaohs house?
28 Odabrao sam ih između svih plemena Izraelovih da mi budu svećenici, da se uspinju na moj žrtvenik, da prinose žrtve paljenice i da nose oplećak preda mnom: i dao sam domu oca tvojega sve paljene žrtve sinova Izraelovih.
And I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my Priest, to offer vpon mine altar, and to burne incense, and to weare an Ephod before me, and I gaue vnto the house of thy father all the offrings made by fire of the children of Israel.
29 Zašto gledaš zavidnim okom žrtvu i prinos što sam ih odredio za svoj Dom? I zašto paziš sinove svoje više nego mene, toveći ih najboljim dijelovima svih žrtvenih prinosa naroda moga Izraela?
Wherefore haue you kicked against my sacrifice and mine offering, which I commanded in my Tabernacle, and honourest thy children aboue mee, to make your selues fatte of the first fruites of all the offerings of Israel my people?
30 Zato sam - riječ je Jahve, Boga Izraelova - rekao doduše da će dom tvoj i dom oca tvojega stupati preda mnom dovijeka, ali sada - riječ je Jahvina - neka je to daleko od mene! Jer ja častim one koji mene časte, a koji mene preziru, bit će osramoćeni.
Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I saide, that thine house and the house of thy father should walke before mee for euer: but nowe the Lord saith, It shall not be so: for them that honour me, I will honour, and they that despise me, shall be despised.
31 Gle, dolaze dani kad ću odsjeći mišicu tvoju i mišicu doma oca tvojega, tako da više neće biti starca u tvom domu.
Beholde, the dayes come, that I will cut off thine arme, and the arme of thy fathers house, that there shall not be an olde man in thine house.
32 Ti ćeš kivnim okom gledati na sve dobro kojim ću obasuti Izraela, i nikada više neće biti starca u tvom domu.
And thou shalt see thine enemie in the habitation of the Lord in all thinges wherewith God shall blesse Israel, and there shall not be an olde man in thine house for euer.
33 Zadržat ću ipak nekoga od tvojih kod oltara svoga, samo zato da mu sahnu oči i vene duša njegova, ali sve mnoštvo doma tvoga poginut će od ljudskoga mača.
Neuerthelesse, I will not destroy euery one of thine from mine altar, to make thine eyes to faile, and to make thine heart sorowfull: and all ye multitude of thine house shall die when they be men.
34 Znak će ti biti ono što će stići oba tvoja sina, Hofnija i Pinhasa: obojica će poginuti istoga dana.
And this shalbe a signe vnto thee, that shall come vpon thy two sonnes Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die both.
35 Ja ću sebi podići vjerna svećenika koji će raditi po mom srcu i po mojoj želji i njemu ću sazdati trajan dom, i on će svagda stupati pred pomazanikom mojim.
And I will stirre me vp a faithfull Priest, that shall do according to mine heart and according to my minde: and I wil build him a sure house, and he shall walke before mine Anointed for euer.
36 A koji god ostane od tvoga doma, dolazit će da mu se pokloni i da izmoli srebrn novčić ili hljeb kruha i kazat će: 'Molim te, primi me u kakvu god službu svećeničku, da imam zalogaj kruha.'”
And all that are left in thine house, shall come and bowe downe to him for a piece of siluer and a morsell of bread, and shall say, Appoint me, I pray thee, to one of the priestes offices, that I may eate a morsell of bread.
