1 Samuel 1
1 Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim, a Zuphite of the hill-country of Ephraim, named Elkanah; he was the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite:
Houve um homem de Ramathaim de Zophim, da montanha de Ephraim, cujo nome era Elcana, filho de Jeroham, filho de Elihu, filho de Tohu, filho de Suph, ephrateo.
2 And he had two wives, one named Hannah and the other Peninnah: and Peninnah was the mother of children, but Hannah had no children.
E este tinha duas mulheres: o nome d'uma era Anna, e o nome da outra Peninna: e Peninna tinha filhos, porém Anna não tinha filhos.
3 Now this man went up from his town every year to give worship and to make offerings to the Lord of armies in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the Lord, were there.
Subia pois este homem da sua cidade de anno em anno a adorar e a sacrificar ao Senhor dos Exercitos em Silo: e estavam ali os sacerdotes do Senhor, Hophni e Phineas, os dois filhos d'Eli.
4 And when the day came for Elkanah to make his offering, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and daughters, their part of the feast:
E succedeu que no dia em que Elcana sacrificava dava elle porções a Peninna, sua mulher, e a todos os seus filhos, e a todas as suas filhas.
5 But to Hannah he gave one part, though Hannah was very dear to him, but the Lord had not let her have children.
Porém a Anna dava uma parte excellente; porquanto a Anna amava, porém o Senhor lhe tinha cerrado a madre.
6 And the other wife did everything possible to make her unhappy, because the Lord had not let her have children;
E a sua competidora excessivamente a irritava, para a embravecer: porquanto o Senhor lhe tinha cerrado a madre.
7 And year by year, whenever she went up to the house of the Lord, she kept on attacking her, so that Hannah gave herself up to weeping and would take no food.
E assim o fazia elle de anno em anno: desde que subia á casa do Senhor, assim a outra a irritava: pelo que chorava, e não comia.
8 Then her husband Elkanah said to her, Hannah, why are you weeping? and why are you taking no food? why is your heart troubled? am I not more to you than ten sons?
Então Elcana, seu marido, lhe disse: Anna, porque choras? e porque não comes? e porque está mal o teu coração? não te sou eu melhor do que dez filhos?
9 So after they had taken food and wine in the guest room, Hannah got up. Now Eli the priest was seated by the pillars of the doorway of the Temple of the Lord.
Então Anna se levantou, depois que comeram e beberam em Silo: e Eli, sacerdote, estava assentado n'uma cadeira, junto a um pilar do templo do Senhor.
10 And with grief in her soul, weeping bitterly, she made her prayer to the Lord.
Ella pois, com amargura de alma, orou ao Senhor, e chorou abundantemente.
11 And she made an oath, and said, O Lord of armies, if you will truly take note of the sorrow of your servant, not turning away from me but keeping me in mind, and will give me a man-child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and his hair will never be cut.
E votou um voto, dizendo: Senhor dos Exercitos! se benignamente attenderes para a afflicção da tua serva, e de mim te lembrares, e da tua serva te não esqueceres, mas á tua serva deres um filho varão, ao Senhor o darei por todos os dias da sua vida, e sobre a sua cabeça não subirá navalha
12 Now while she was a long time in prayer before the Lord, Eli was watching her mouth.
E succedeu que, perseverando ella em orar perante o Senhor, Eli fez attenção á sua bocca.
13 For Hannah's prayer came from her heart, and though her lips were moving she made no sound: so it seemed to Eli that she was overcome with wine.
Porquanto Anna no seu coração fallava, só se moviam os seus beiços, porém não se ouvia a sua voz: pelo que Eli a teve por embriagada.
14 And Eli said to her, How long are you going to be the worse for drink? Put away the effects of your wine from you.
E disse-lhe Eli: Até quando estarás tu embriagada? aparta de ti o teu vinho.
15 And Hannah, answering him, said, No, my lord, I am a woman whose spirit is broken with sorrow: I have not taken wine or strong drink, but I have been opening my heart before the Lord.
Porém Anna respondeu, e disse: Não, senhor meu, eu sou uma mulher attribulada de espirito; nem vinho nem bebida forte tenho bebido: porém tenho derramado a minha alma perante o Senhor.
16 Do not take your servant to be a good-for-nothing woman: for my words have come from my stored-up sorrow and pain.
Não tenhas pois a tua serva por filha de Belial: porque da multidão dos meus cuidados e do meu desgosto tenho fallado até agora.
17 Then Eli said to her, Go in peace: and may the God of Israel give you an answer to the prayer you have made to him.
Então respondeu Eli, e disse: Vae em paz: e o Deus de Israel te conceda a tua petição que lhe pediste.
18 And she said, May your servant have grace in your eyes. So the woman went away, and took part in the feast, and her face was no longer sad.
E disse ella: Ache a tua serva graça em teus olhos. Assim a mulher se foi seu caminho, e comeu, e o seu semblante já não era triste.
19 And early in the morning they got up, and after worshipping before the Lord they went back to Ramah, to their house: and Elkanah had connection with his wife; and the Lord kept her in mind.
E levantaram-se de madrugada, e adoraram perante o Senhor, e tornaram-se, e vieram á sua casa, a Rama, e Elcana conheceu a Anna, sua mulher, e o Senhor se lembrou d'ella.
20 Now the time came when Hannah, being with child, gave birth to a son; and she gave him the name Samuel, Because, she said, I made a prayer to the Lord for him.
E succedeu que, passado algum tempo, Anna concebeu, e pariu um filho, e chamou o seu nome Samuel; porque, dizia ella, o tenho pedido ao Senhor.
21 And the man Elkanah with all his family went up to make the year's offering to the Lord, and to give effect to his oath.
E subiu aquelle homem Elcana com toda a sua casa, a sacrificar ao Senhor o sacrificio annual e a cumprir o seu voto.
22 But Hannah did not go, for she said to her husband, I will not go till the child has been taken from the breast, and then I will take him with me and put him before the Lord, where he may be for ever.
Porém Anna não subiu; mas disse a seu marido: Quando o menino fôr desmamado, então o levarei, para que appareça perante o Senhor, e lá fique para sempre.
23 And her husband Elkanah said to her, Do whatever seems right to you, but not till you have taken him from the breast; only may the Lord do as he has said. So the woman, waiting there, gave her son milk till he was old enough to be taken from the breast.
E Elcana, seu marido, lhe disse: Faze o que bem te parecer em teus olhos, fica até que o desmames; tão sómente confirme o Senhor a sua palavra: assim ficou a mulher, e deu leite a seu filho, até que o desmamou.
24 Then when she had done so, she took him with her, with a three-year old ox and an ephah of meal and a skin full of wine, and took him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh: now the child was still very young.
E, havendo-o desmamado, o levou comsigo, com tres bezerros, e um epha de farinha, e um odre de vinho, e o trouxe á casa do Senhor, a Silo, e era o menino ainda muito creança.
25 And when they had made an offering of the ox, they took the child to Eli.
E degolaram um bezerro: e assim trouxeram o menino a Eli.
26 And she said, O my lord, as your soul is living, my lord, I am that woman who was making a prayer to the Lord here by your side:
E disse ella: Ah, meu senhor, viva a tua alma, meu senhor; eu sou aquella mulher que aqui esteve comtigo, para orar ao Senhor.
27 My prayer was for this child; and the Lord has given him to me in answer to my request:
Por este menino orava eu; e o Senhor me concedeu a minha petição, que eu lhe tinha pedido.
28 So I have given him to the Lord; for all his life he is the Lord's. Then he gave the Lord worship there.
Pelo que tambem ao Senhor eu o entreguei, por todos os dias que viver: pois ao Senhor foi pedido. E elle adorou ali ao Senhor.
