1 Samuelova 1

1 Bio jedan čovjek iz Ramatajima, Sufovac iz Efrajimove gore, po imenu Elkana, sin Jerohama, sina Elihua, sina Tohua, sina Sufova, Efrajimljanin.

There was a man of one of the two Ramathaim Zophim, of mount Ephraim, whose name was Elkanah the sonne of Ieroham, the sonne of Elihu, the sonne of Tohu, the sonne of Zuph, an Ephrathite:

2 Imao je dvije žene: ime jednoj bijaše Ana, a drugoj bijaše ime Penina. Penina je imala djece, a Ana ih nije imala.

And he had two wiues: the name of one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.

3 Taj je čovjek svake godine uzlazio iz svoga grada da se pokloni i prinese žrtvu Jahvi Sebaotu u Šilu. Ondje su bila dva sina Elijeva, Hofni i Pinhas, kao svećenici Jahvini.

And this man went vp out of his citie euery yeere, to worship and to sacrifice vnto the Lord of hostes in Shiloh, where were the two sonnes of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas Priests of the Lord.

4 Jednoga dana Elkana prinese žrtvu. On je obično svojoj ženi Penini i svim njezinim sinovima i kćerima davao više žrtvenih dijelova,

And on a day, when Elkanah sacrificed, he gaue to Peninnah his wife and to all her sonnes and daughters portions,

5 a Ani je davao samo jedan dio, premda je više ljubio Anu, ali Jahve joj ne bijaše dao od srca poroda.

But vnto Hannah he gaue a worthy portion: for he loued Hannah, and the Lord had made her barren.

6 Uz to joj je suparnica njezina zanovijetala da je ponizi što joj Jahve ne bijaše dao od srca poroda.

And her aduersarie vexed her sore, forasmuch as she vpbraided her, because the Lord had made her barren.

7 Tako je bivalo svake godine kad god bi polazili u Dom Jahvin: Penina je zanovijetala Ani. Ana je stoga plakala i nije htjela jesti.

(And so did he yeere by yeere) and as oft as she went vp to the house of the Lord, thus she vexed her, that she wept and did not eate.

8 Tada joj reče Elkana, njezin muž: “Zašto plačeš, Ana? I zašto ne jedeš? Zašto ti je srce rastuženo? Nisam li ti ja vredniji nego deset sinova?”

Then sayd Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thine heart troubled? am not I better to thee then ten sonnes?

9 Ali Ana ustade, pošto su jeli i pili u sobi, i stupi pred Jahvu - a svećenik Eli sjeđaše na stolici na pragu svetišta Jahvina.

So Hannah rose vp after that they had eaten and drunke in Shiloh (and Eli the Priest sate vpon a stoole by one of the postes of the Temple of the Lord)

10 I ojađena u duši pomoli se Ana Jahvi, plačući gorko.

And she was troubled in her minde, and prayed vnto the Lord, and wept sore:

11 I zavjetova se ovako: “Jahve Sebaote! Ako pogledaš na nevolju službenice svoje i opomeneš se mene i ne zaboraviš službenice svoje te dadeš službenici svojoj muško čedo, ja ću ga darovati Jahvi za sve dane njegova života i britva neće prijeći preko glave njegove.”

Also she vowed a vowe, and sayd, O Lord of hostes, if thou wilt looke on the trouble of thine handmaide, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaide, but giue vnto thine handmaide a manchilde, then I will giue him vnto the Lord all the dayes of his life, and there shall no rasor come vpon his head.

12 Tako se ona dugo molila pred Jahvom, a Eli je motrio usta njezina.

And as she continued praying before the Lord, Eli marked her mouth.

13 Ana govoraše u srcu; samo se usne njezine micahu, a glas joj se nije čuo. Zato Eli pomisli da je pijana.

For Hannah spake in her heart: her lips did moue onely, but her voyce was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had bene drunken.

14 I reče joj Eli: “Dokle ćeš biti pijana? Otrijezni se od vina što je u tebi!”

And Eli sayde vnto her, Howe long wilt thou be drunken? Put away thy drunkennesse from thee.

15 Ali Ana odgovori i reče: “Nisam pijana, gospodaru, nego sam velika nesretnica. Nisam pila ni vina ni opojna pića nego izlijevam dušu svoju pred Jahvom.

Then Hannah answered and sayd, Nay my lord, but I am a woman troubled in spirit: I haue drunke neither wine nor strong drinke, but haue powred out my soule before the Lord.

16 Ne sudi službenicu svoju kao ženu nevaljalu, jer sam od preteške tuge i žalosti tako dugo molila.”

Count not thine handmaide for a wicked woman: for of the abundance of my complaint and my griefe haue I spoken hitherto.

17 Tada joj Eli odgovori ovako: “Pođi u miru! A Bog Izraelov neka ti ispuni molitvu kojom si ga molila.”

Then Eli answered, and sayd, Go in peace, and the God of Israel graunt thy petition that thou hast asked of him.

18 A ona reče: “Neka službenica tvoja nađe milost u očima tvojim!” I žena ode svojim putem: jela je i lice joj nije više bilo tužno kao i prije.

She sayd againe, Let thine handmayd finde grace in thy sight: so the woman went her way, and did eate, and looked no more sad.

19 Sutradan uraniše i pokloniše se Jahvi, a onda se vratiše i dođoše svojoj kući u Ramu. Elkana pozna Anu, ženu svoju, a Jahve je se opomenu.

Then they rose vp early, and worshipped before the Lord, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah. Nowe Elkanah knewe Hannah his wife, and the Lord remembred her.

20 Ana zatrudnje i, kad bi vrijeme, rodi sina koga nazva imenom Samuel, “jer sam ga”, reče, “izmolila od Jahve”.

For in processe of time Hannah conceiued, and bare a sonne, and she called his name Samuel, Because, said she, I haue asked him of the Lord.

21 Poslije godine dana uziđe njezin muž Elkana sa svim domom svojim da prinese Jahvi godišnju žrtvu i da izvrši zavjet.

So the man Elkanah and all his house went vp to offer vnto the Lord the yeerely sacrifice, and his vowe:

22 Ali Ana ne pođe s njim jer reče svome mužu: “Neću poći dok se dijete ne odbije od prsiju, a onda ću ga odvesti da se pokaže pred Jahvom i da ostane ondje zauvijek.”

But Hannah went not vp: for she sayd vnto her husband, I will tarie vntill the childe be weined, then I will bring him that hee may appeare before the Lord, and there abide for euer.

23 I odgovori joj Elkana, njezin muž: “Čini kako misliš da je dobro; ostani dok ga ne odbiješ od prsiju; samo neka ti Jahve ispuni tvoju želju!” I žena osta kod kuće dojeći sina svoga dok ga nije odbila od prsiju.

And Elkanah her husband sayd vnto her, Do what seemeth thee best: tarie vntill thou hast weined him: only the Lord accomplish his word. So the woman abode, and gaue her sonne sucke vntill she weined him.

24 Čim ga je odbila od prsiju, povede ga sa sobom uzevši uz to trogodišnjeg junca, efu brašna i mijeh vina; i uvede ga u Dom Jahvin u Šilu. A dječak je bio još vrlo mlad.

And when she had weined him, she tooke him with her with three bullockes and an Ephah of floure and a bottell of wine, and brought him vnto the house of the Lord in Shiloh, and the childe was yong.

25 Tada zaklaše junca, a majka dječakova pristupi k Eliju.

And they slewe a bullocke, and brought the childe to Eli.

26 I reče Ana: “Dopusti, gospodaru! Tako ti života tvoga, gospodaru, ja sam ona žena koja je stajala ovdje kraj tebe moleći se Jahvi.

And she said, Oh my Lord, as thy soule liueth, my lord, I am the woman that stoode with thee here praying vnto the Lord.

27 Molila sam za ovo dijete, i Jahve mi je uslišio prošnju kojom sam ga prosila.

I prayed for this childe, and the Lord hath giuen me my desire which I asked of him.

28 Zato i ja njega ustupam Jahvi za sve dane njegova života: ta isprošen je od Jahve.” I pokloniše se ondje Jahvi.

Therefore also I haue giuen him vnto the Lord: as long as he liueth hee shalbe giuen vnto the Lord: and he worshipped the Lord there.
