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:
Bijaše jedan èovjek iz Ramatajim-Sofima, iz gore Jefremove, kojemu ime bješe Elkana sin Jeroama, sina Eliva, sina Tova, sina Sufova, Efraæanin.
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.
I imaše dvije žene, jednoj bješe ime Ana a drugoj Fenina; i Fenina imaše djece, a Ana nemaše djece.
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.
I iðaše taj èovjek svake godine iz svojega grada da se pokloni i prinese žrtvu Gospodu nad vojskama u Silom; a ondje bijahu dva sina Ilijeva, Ofnije i Fines, sveštenici Gospodnji.
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:
I jedan dan kad Elkana prinese žrtvu, dade Fenini ženi svojoj i svijem sinovima njezinijem i kæerima njezinijem po dio;
5 But to Hannah he gave one part, though Hannah was very dear to him, but the Lord had not let her have children.
Ani pak dade dva dijela, jer ljubljaše Anu, a njoj Gospod bješe zatvorio matericu.
6 And the other wife did everything possible to make her unhappy, because the Lord had not let her have children;
I protivnica je njezina vrlo cvijeljaše prkoseæi joj što joj Gospod bješe zatvorio matericu.
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.
Tako èinjaše Elkana svake godine, i Ana hoðaše u dom Gospodnji, a ona je cvijeljaše, te plakaše i ne jeðaše.
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?
A Elkana muž njezin reèe joj jednom: Ana, zašto plaèeš? i zašto ne jedeš? i zašto je srce tvoje neveselo? Nijesam li ti ja bolji nego deset sinova?
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.
A Ana usta, pošto jedoše i piše u Silomu; a Ilije sveštenik sjeðaše na stolici na pragu doma Gospodnjega.
10 And with grief in her soul, weeping bitterly, she made her prayer to the Lord.
I ona tužna u srcu pomoli se Gospodu plaèuæi mnogo.
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.
I zavjetova se govoreæi: Gospode nad vojskama! ako pogledaš na muku sluškinje svoje, i opomeneš me se, i ne zaboraviš sluškinje svoje, nego daš sluškinji svojoj muško èedo, ja æu ga dati Gospodu dokle je god živ, i britva neæe prijeæi preko glave njegove.
12 Now while she was a long time in prayer before the Lord, Eli was watching her mouth.
I kad se ona dugo moljaše pred Gospodom, Ilije motraše na usta njezina.
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.
Ali Ana govoraše u srcu svojem, usta joj se samo micahu a glas joj se ne èujaše; stoga Ilije pomisli da je pijana.
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.
Pa joj reèe Ilije: dokle æeš biti pijana? otrijezni se od vina svojega.
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.
Ali Ana odgovori i reèe: nijesam pijana, gospodaru, nego sam žena tužna u srcu; nijesam pila vina ni silovita piæa; nego izlijevam dušu svoju pred Gospodom.
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.
Nemoj jednaèiti sluškinje svoje s nevaljalom ženom; jer sam od velike tuge i žalosti svoje govorila dosad.
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.
Tada odgovori Ilije i reèe: idi s mirom; a Bog Izrailjev da ti ispuni molbu, za što si ga molila.
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.
A ona reèe: neka naðe sluškinja tvoja milost pred tobom! Tada otide žena svojim putem, i jede, i lice joj ne bješe više kao prije.
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.
I sjutradan uraniše, i pokloniše se Gospodu, i vratiše se i doðoše kuæi svojoj u Ramat. I Elkana pozna Anu ženu svoju, i Gospod se opomenu nje.
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.
I kad bi vrijeme pošto Ana zatrudnje rodi sina, i nadje mu ime Samuilo, jer, reèe, isprosih ga u Gospoda.
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.
Potom poðe onaj èovjek Elkana sa svijem domom svojim da prinese Gospodu godišnju žrtvu i zavjet svoj.
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.
Ali Ana ne poðe, jer reèe mužu svojemu: dokle odojim dijete, onda æu ga odvesti da izide pred Gospoda i ostane ondje dovijeka.
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.
I reèe joj Elkana muž njezin: èini kako ti drago; ostani dokle ga ne odojiš; samo da hoæe Gospod ispuniti rijeè svoju. I tako žena osta; i dojaše sina svojega dokle ga ne odoji.
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.
A kad ga odoji, odvede ga sa sobom uzevši tri teleta i efu brašna i mijeh vina, i uvede ga u dom Gospodnji u Silomu; a dijete bijaše još malo.
25 And when they had made an offering of the ox, they took the child to Eli.
I zaklaše tele, i dovedoše dijete k Iliju.
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:
I ona reèe: èuj gospodaru, kako je živa duša tvoja, gospodaru, ja sam ona žena koja je stajala ovdje kod tebe moleæi se Gospodu.
27 My prayer was for this child; and the Lord has given him to me in answer to my request:
Molih se za ovo dijete, i ispuni mi Gospod molbu moju, za što sam ga molila.
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.
Zato i ja dajem njega Gospodu, dokle je god živ, da je dat Gospodu. I pokloniše se ondje Gospodu.
