1 Samuel 2
1 Hannah prayed, and said: "My heart exults in Jehovah. My horn is exalted in my God. My mouth is enlarged over my enemies, because I rejoice in your salvation.
I Ana se pomoli i reèe: razveseli se srce moje u Gospodu; podiže se rog moj u Gospodu; otvoriše se usta moja na neprijatelje moje, jer sam radosna radi spasenja tvojega.
2 Truly, there is no one as holy as Jehovah. Truly, there is no one besides you, nor is there any rock like our God.
Nema svetoga kao što je Gospod; jer nema drugoga osim tebe; i nema stijene kao što je Bog naš.
3 "Do not keep speaking proudly. Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth, for Jehovah is a God of knowledge. By him actions are weighed.
Ne govorite više ponosito, i neka ne izlaze iz usta vaših rijeèi ohole; jer je Gospod Bog koji sve zna, i on udešava namjere.
4 "The bows of the mighty men are broken. Those who stumbled are armed with strength.
Luk junacima slomi se, i iznemogli opasaše se snagom.
5 Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread. Those who were hungry are satisfied. Even the barren has borne seven, and she who has many children languishes.
Koji bijahu siti, naimaju se za hljeb; a koji bijahu gladni, nijesu više; i nerotkinja rodi sedmoro, a koja imaše djece, iznemože.
Gospod ubija, i oživljuje; spušta u grob, i izvlaèi. (Sheol h7585)
7 Jehovah makes poor, and makes rich. He brings low, he also lifts up.
Gospod siromaši, i bogati; ponižuje, i uzvišuje.
8 He raises up the poor out of the dust. He lifts up the needy from the dunghill, To make them sit with princes, and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are Jehovah's. He has set the world on them.
Siromaha podiže iz praha, i iz bunjišta uzvišuje ubogoga da ga posadi s knezovima, i daje im da naslijede prijesto slave; jer su Gospodnji temelji zemaljski, i na njima je osnovao vasiljenu.
9 He will guard the feet of his faithful ones, but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness. For no man will prevail by strength.
Saèuvaæe noge milijeh svojih, a bezbožnici æe umuknuti u mraku; jer svojom snagom neæe èovjek nadjaèati.
10 Those who strive with Jehovah will be broken to pieces. He will thunder against them in the sky. "Jehovah will judge the farthest parts of the earth. He will give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed."
Koji se suprote Gospodu, satræe se; na njih æe zagrmjeti s neba; Gospod æe suditi krajevima zemaljskim, i daæe snagu caru svojemu, i uzvisiæe rog pomazaniku svojemu.
11 Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. The child served Jehovah before Eli the priest.
Potom otide Elkana u Ramat kuæi svojoj, a dijete služaše Gospodu pred Ilijem sveštenikom.
12 Now the sons of Eli were base men; they did not know Jehovah.
A sinovi Ilijevi bijahu nevaljali, i ne znadijahu za Gospoda.
13 The custom of the priests with the people was that when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was boiling, with a fork of three teeth in his hand;
Jer u tijeh sveštenika bješe obièaj prema narodu: kad ko prinošaše žrtvu, dolažaše momak sveštenikov dok se kuhaše meso s viljuškama trokrakim u ruci,
14 and he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fork brought up the priest took therewith. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.
I zabadaše u sud, ili u kotao, ili u tavu, ili u lonac, i što se god nabode na viljuške uzimaše sveštenik. Tako èinjahu svemu Izrailju koji dolažaše u Silom.
15 Yes, before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man who sacrificed, "Give meat to roast for the priest; for he will not accept boiled meat from you, but raw."
Tako i prije nego bi zapalili salo, došao bi momak sveštenikov, te bi rekao èovjeku koji prinošaše žrtvu: daj meso da ispeèem svešteniku, jer ti neæu primiti mesa kuhana, nego sirovo.
16 If the man said to him, "Let the fat be burned first, and then take all of it which your soul desires"; then he would say, "No, but you shall give it to me now; and if not, I will take it by force."
Ako bi mu tada èovjek odgovorio: neka se prvo zapali salo, pa onda uzmi što ti god duša želi; on bi rekao: ne, nego daj sada, ako li ne daš, uzeæu silom.
17 The sin of the young men was very great before Jehovah; for they despised the offering of Jehovah.
I grijeh onijeh mladiæa bijaše vrlo velik pred Gospodom, jer ljudi ne marahu za prinos Gospodnji.
18 But Samuel ministered before Jehovah, being a child, clothed with a linen ephod.
A Samuilo služaše pred Gospodom još dijete u opleæku lanenom.
19 Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
A mati mu naèini mali plašt i donese mu, i tako èinjaše svake godine dolazeæi s mužem svojim da prinese žrtvu godišnju.
20 And Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, and said, "May Jehovah repay you with offspring by this woman for the gift which she made to Jehovah." And the man returned to his home.
A Ilije blagoslovi Elkanu i ženu njegovu govoreæi: Gospod da ti da poroda od te žene za ovoga kojega je dala Gospodu! I otidoše u svoje mjesto.
21 Jehovah visited Hannah, and she bore more children, three sons and two daughters. The child Samuel grew before Jehovah.
I Gospod pohodi Anu, i ona zatrudnje i rodi tri sina i dvije kæeri. A dijete Samuilo rastijaše pred Gospodom.
22 Now Eli was very old; and he heard what his sons did to the children of Israel (and how that they lay with the women who served at the door of the Tent of Meeting).
A Ilije bijaše vrlo star, i èu sve što èinjahu sinovi njegovi svemu Izrailju, i kako spavahu sa ženama koje dolažahu gomilama na vrata šatora od sastanka.
23 And he said to them, "Why do you do such things as these that I hear being said of you from the mouth of the people of Jehovah?
I govoraše im: zašto to radite? jer èujem zle rijeèi o vama od svega naroda.
24 No, my sons, do not do this. For it is not a good report that I hear the people of Jehovah spreading.
Nemojte, djeco moja; jer nije dobro što èujem; otpaðujete narod Gospodnji.
25 If a man sins gravely against another, he can appeal to Jehovah; but if a man sins against Jehovah, who can intercede for him?" But, they did not listen to the voice of their father, because Jehovah intended to kill them.
Kad èovjek zgriješi èovjeku, sudiæe mu sudija; ali kad ko zgriješi Gospodu, ko æe moliti za nj? Ali ne poslušaše oca svojega, jer Gospod šæaše da ih ubije.
26 The child Samuel grew on, and increased in favor both with Jehovah, and also with men.
A dijete Samuilo rastijaše i bijaše mio i Gospodu i ljudima.
27 A man of God came to Eli, and said, "Thus says Jehovah, I plainly revealed myself to the house of your father, when they were slaves in Egypt to the house of Pharaoh.
Tada doðe èovjek Božji k Iliju, i reèe mu: ovako veli Gospod: ne javih li se domu oca tvojega, kad bijahu u Misiru u kuæi Faraonovoj?
28 And I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me. And I gave to the house of your father all the offerings by fire of the children of Israel as food.
I izabrah ga izmeðu svijeh plemena Izrailjevijeh sebi za sveštenika da prinosi žrtve na oltaru mojem i da kadi kadom i nosi opleæak preda mnom, i dadoh domu oca tvojega sve žrtve ognjene sinova Izrailjevijeh?
29 Why do you look down on my sacrifice and on my offering, which I have commanded for my dwelling place, and honor your sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of Israel my people?'
Zašto gazite žrtvu moju i prinos moj, koje sam zapovjedio da se prinose u šatoru? i paziš sinove svoje veæma nego mene, da se gojite prvinama svijeh prinosa Izrailja naroda mojega?
30 "Therefore Jehovah, the God of Israel, says, 'I said indeed that your house, and the house of your father, should walk before me forever.' But now Jehovah says, 'Be it far from me; for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
Zato Gospod Bog Izrailjev kaže: rekao sam doista: dom tvoj i dom oca tvojega služiæe preda mnom dovijeka; ali kaže Gospod: neæe biti tako, jer one æu poštovati koji mene poštuju, a koji mene preziru, biæe prezreni.
31 Look, the days come, that I will cut off your descendants, and the descendants of your father's house, that there shall not be an old man in your house.
Gle, idu dani, kad æu odsjeæi tebi ruku i ruku domu oca tvojega, da ne bude starca u domu tvojem.
32 And you will see distress in the dwelling place, in all that he does good with Israel. And there will not be an old man in your house all the days.
I vidjeæeš nevolju u šatoru mjesto svega dobra što je Gospod èinio Izrailju; neæe biti starca u domu tvojem dovijeka.
33 And the man of yours I do not cut off from my altar will be to cause his eyes to fail and to grieve his soul, and all the increase of your house will die by the sword of men.
A koga od tvojih ne istrijebim ispred oltara svojega, onaj æe ostati da ti èile oèi i da ti se cvijeli duša; i sav podmladak doma tvojega umiraæe u najboljim godinama.
34 "'This shall be the sign to you, that shall come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall both die.
I ovo da ti je znak što æe doæi na oba sina tvoja, na Ofnija i Finesa: u jedan dan poginuæe obojica.
35 I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind. I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before my anointed forever.
A sebi æu podignuti sveštenika vjerna, on æe raditi po srcu mojemu i po duši mojoj; i sazidaæu mu tvrd dom, i on æe hoditi pred pomazanikom mojim vazda.
36 It shall happen, that everyone who is left in your house shall come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say, "Please put me into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread."'"
I ko ostane od doma tvojega, doæi æe da mu se pokloni za srebrn novac i za komad hljeba, i govoriæe: primi me u kaku službu sveštenièku da imam komad hljeba.
