1 Samuel 2
1 Hannah prayed and said, “My heart exults in Yahweh. My horn is exalted in Yahweh. My mouth boasts over my enemies, because I rejoice in your salvation.
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.
2 There is no one holy like Yahweh, for there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God.
Nitko nije svet kao što je Jahve (jer nema nikoga osim tebe), i nema hridi kao što Bog je naš.
3 Boast no more so very proudly; let no arrogance come out of your mouth. For Yahweh is a God of knowledge; by him actions are weighed.
Ne govorite mnogo hvastavih riječi, neka ne izlazi drskost iz usta vaših, jer Jahve je sveznajući Bog, pravo on prosuđuje djela.
4 The bow of the mighty men are broken, but those who stumble put on strength like a belt.
Lomi se luk junacima, nemoćni se snagom opasuju.
5 Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread; those who were hungry have stopped being hungry. Even the barren one gives birth to seven, but the woman who has many children languishes.
Nekoć siti sad se za kruh muče, nekoć gladni ne gladuju više. Nerotkinja rađa sedam puta, majka brojne djece svježinu izgubi.
Jahve daje smrt i život, ruši u Šeol i odande diže. (Sheol h7585)
7 Yahweh makes some people poor and some rich. He humbles, but he also lifts up.
Jahve čini uboga i bogata, obara čovjeka i uzvisuje.
8 He raises up the poor out of the dust. He lifts the needy from the ash heap to make them sit with princes and inherit the seat of honor. For the pillars of the earth are Yahweh's and he has set the world upon them.
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.
9 He will guard the feet of his faithful people, but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness, for no one will prevail by strength.
Korake čuva svojih vjernika, zlikovce stiže propast u mraku (svojom snagom čovjek ne stječe pobjede).
10 Those who oppose Yahweh will be broken to pieces; he will thunder against them from heaven. Yahweh will judge the ends of the earth; he will give strength to his king and exalt the horn of his anointed.”
Koji se protive Jahvi, padaju, Svevišnji grmi s nebesa. Jahve sudi međama zemlje, daje silu svojemu kralju, uzdiže snagu pomazanika svoga.”
11 Then Elkanah went to Ramah, to his house. The child served Yahweh in the presence of Eli the priest.
Potom se Ana vrati u Ramu, a dječak ostade da služi Jahvi pod okom svećenika Elija.
12 Now the sons of Eli were worthless men. They did not know Yahweh.
A Elijevi sinovi bijahu nevaljali ljudi jer nisu marili za Jahvu
13 The custom of the priests with the people was that when any man offered a sacrifice, the priest's servant would come with a three-pronged fork in his hand, while the meat was boiling.
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
14 He would stick it into the pan, or kettle, or cauldron, or pot. All that the fork brought up the priest would take for himself. They did this in Shiloh with all the Israelites that came there.
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.
15 Worse, before they burned the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man who was sacrificing, “Give meat to roast for the priest; for he will not accept boiled meat from you, but only raw.”
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.”
16 If the man said to him, “They must burn the fat first, and then take as much as you want.” Then he would say, “No, you will give it me now; if not, I will take it by force.”
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.”
17 The sin of these young men was very great before Yahweh, for they despised Yahweh's offering.
Grijeh je mladića bio vrlo velik pred Jahvom, jer su ljudi prezirali žrtvu koja se prinosila Jahvi.
18 But Samuel served Yahweh as a child clothed with a linen ephod.
A Samuel služaše pred Jahvom, još dijete u oplećku lanenom.
19 His mother would make him a little robe and bring it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
Mati bi mu njegova napravila dolamicu i donosila mu je svake godine kad bi dolazila s mužem svojim da prinese godišnju žrtvu.
20 Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife and say, “May Yahweh give you more children by this woman because of the request she made of Yahweh.” Then they would return to their own home.
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.
21 Yahweh again helped Hannah, and again she became pregnant. She bore three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile, the child Samuel grew before Yahweh.
Jahve pohodi Anu i ona zatrudnje i rodi još tri sina i dvije kćeri. A mladi je Samuel rastao pred Jahvom.
22 Now Eli was very old; he heard all that his sons were doing to all Israel, and how they slept with the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
Eli je bio već vrlo star, ali je ipak čuo sve što su njegovi sinovi činili svemu Izraelu.
23 He said to them, “Why do you such things? For I hear of your evil actions from all these people.”
I on im reče: “Zašto radite takvo što da o tome moram slušati od svega ovog naroda?
24 No, my sons; for it is not a good report that I hear. You make Yahweh's people disobey.
Nemojte tako, sinovi moji! Nisu dobri glasovi što ih čujem ... Sablažnjujete narod Jahvin.
25 “If one man sins against another, God will judge him; but if a man sins against Yahweh, who will speak for him?” But they would not listen to the voice of their father, because Yahweh intended to kill them.
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.
26 The child Samuel grew up, and increased in favor with Yahweh and also with men.
A mladi je Samuel sve više rastao u dobi i mudrosti i pred Jahvom i pred ljudima.
27 Now a man of God came to Eli and said to him, “Yahweh says, 'Did I not reveal myself to the house of your ancestor, when they were in Egypt in bondage to Pharaoh's house?
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?
28 I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, and to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me. I gave to the house of your ancestor all the offerings of the people of Israel made with fire.
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.
29 Why, then, do you scorn my sacrifices and offerings that I required in the place where I live? Why do you honor your sons above me by making yourselves fat with the best of every offering of my people Israel?'
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?
30 For Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, 'I promised that your house, and the house of your ancestor, should walk before me forever.' But now Yahweh says, 'Far be it from me to do this, for I will honor those who honor me, but those who despise me will be lightly esteemed.
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.
31 See, the days are coming when I will cut off your strength and the strength of your father's house, so that there will no longer be any old man in your house.
Gle, dolaze dani kad ću odsjeći mišicu tvoju i mišicu doma oca tvojega, tako da više neće biti starca u tvom domu.
32 You will see distress in the place where I live. Although good will be given to Israel, there will no longer be any old man in your house.
Ti ćeš kivnim okom gledati na sve dobro kojim ću obasuti Izraela, i nikada više neće biti starca u tvom domu.
33 Any one of you that I do not cut off from my altar, I will cause your eyes to fail, and I will cause grief for your life. All the men born in your family will die.
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.
34 This will be the sign for you that will come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: They will both die on the same day.
Znak će ti biti ono što će stići oba tvoja sina, Hofnija i Pinhasa: obojica će poginuti istoga dana.
35 I will raise up for myself a faithful priest who will do what is in my heart and in my soul. I will build him a sure house; and he will walk before my anointed king forever.
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.
36 Everyone who is left in your house will come and bow down to him, asking for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and will say, “Please assign me to one of the priests' positions so I can eat a piece of bread.”'”
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.'”
