< 1 Samuel 1 >

1 Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim Zophim, of the hill country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
Torej tam je bil nek mož iz Ramatájim Cofíma, z gore Efrájim in njegovo ime je bilo Elkaná, sin Jeroháma, sinú Elihúja, sinú Tohuja, sinú Cufa, Efrátejec.
2 He had two wives. The name of one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
Ta je imel dve ženi. Ime ene je bilo Ana in ime druge Penína. Penína je imela otroke, toda Ana ni imela otrok.
3 This man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of Armies in Shiloh. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests to the LORD, were there.
Ta mož je vsako leto šel gor iz svojega mesta, da obožuje in žrtvuje Gospodu nad bojevniki v Šilu. In dva Élijeva sinova, Hofní in Pinhás, Gospodova duhovnika, sta bila tam.
4 When the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and her daughters;
Ko je bil čas, da Elkaná daruje, je dal deleže svoji ženi Peníni in vsem njenim sinovom in njenim hčeram,
5 but he gave a double portion to Hannah, for he loved Hannah, but the LORD had shut up her womb.
toda Ani je dal vreden delež, kajti Ano je ljubil. Toda Gospod je zaprl njeno maternico.
6 Her rival provoked her severely, to irritate her, because the LORD had shut up her womb.
Njena nasprotnica jo je boleče dražila, da bi jo razburila, ker je Gospod zaprl njeno maternico.
7 So year by year, when she went up to the LORD’s house, her rival provoked her. Therefore she wept, and didn’t eat.
Ko je tako delala leto za letom, ko je šla gor do Gospodove hiše, jo je tako razdražila; zato je jokala in ni jedla.
8 Elkanah her husband said to her, “Hannah, why do you weep? Why don’t you eat? Why is your heart grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”
Potem ji je njen soprog Elkaná rekel: »Ana, zakaj jokaš? Zakaj ne ješ? Zakaj je tvoje srce užaloščeno? Ali ti nisem boljši kakor deset sinov?«
9 So Hannah rose up after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on his seat by the doorpost of the LORD’s temple.
Tako je Ana vstala, potem ko so v Šilu pojedli in popili. Torej duhovnik Éli je sedel na sedežu pri podboju Gospodovega templja.
10 She was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD, weeping bitterly.
Ona pa je bila v grenkobi duše in molila h Gospodu in bridko jokala.
11 She vowed a vow, and said, “LORD of Armies, if you will indeed look at the affliction of your servant and remember me, and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a boy, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall come on his head.”
Zaobljubila je zaobljubo in rekla: »Oh Gospod nad bojevniki, če zares hočeš pogledati na stisko svoje pomočnice in se me spomniš in ne pozabiš svoje pomočnice, temveč hočeš svoji pomočnici dati fantka, potem ga bom izročila Gospodu [za] vse dni njegovega življenja in britev ne bo prišla na njegovo glavo.«
12 As she continued praying before the LORD, Eli saw her mouth.
Pripetilo se je, ko je nadaljevala moleč pred Gospodom, da je Éli opazil njena usta.
13 Now Hannah spoke in her heart. Only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk.
Torej Ana, ona je govorila v svojem srcu, premikale pa so se samo njene ustnice, toda njenega glasu ni bilo slišati. Zato je Éli mislil, da je bila pijana.
14 Eli said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Get rid of your wine!”
Éli ji je rekel: »Doklej boš pijana? Odloži svoje vino od sebe.«
15 Hannah answered, “No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have not been drinking wine or strong drink, but I poured out my soul before the LORD.
Ana je odgovorila in rekla: »Ne, moj gospod, jaz sem ženska žalostnega duha. Niti nisem pila vina niti močne pijače, temveč sem svojo dušo izlila pred Gospodom.
16 Don’t consider your servant a wicked woman; for I have been speaking out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation.”
Svoje pomočnice ne štej za Beliálovo hčer, kajti iz obilja svoje pritožbe in žalosti sem doslej govorila.«
17 Then Eli answered, “Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of him.”
Potem je Éli odgovoril in rekel: »Pojdi v miru in Izraelov Bog ti zagotovi prošnjo, ki si jo prosila od njega.«
18 She said, “Let your servant find favour in your sight.” So the woman went her way and ate; and her facial expression wasn’t sad any more.
Rekla je: »Naj tvoja pomočnica najde milost v tvojem pogledu.« Tako je ženska odšla svojo pot in jedla in njeno obličje ni bilo več žalostno.
19 They rose up in the morning early and worshipped the LORD, then returned and came to their house to Ramah. Then Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.
Vstali so zgodaj zjutraj in oboževali pred Gospodom in se vrnili in prišli k svoji hiši v Ramo. Elkaná je spoznal svojo ženo Ano in Gospod se jo je spomnil.
20 When the time had come, Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she named him Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked him of the LORD.”
Zato se je pripetilo, ko je prišel čas, potem ko je Ana spočela, da je rodila sina in njegovo ime je imenovala Samuel, rekoč: »Ker sem ga prosila od Gospoda.«
21 The man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice and his vow.
Mož Elkaná in vsa njegova hiša, so odšli gor, da darujejo Gospodu letno klavno daritev in svojo zaobljubo.
22 But Hannah didn’t go up, for she said to her husband, “Not until the child is weaned; then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and stay there forever.”
Toda Ana ni odšla gor, kajti svojemu soprogu je rekla: » Ne bom šla gor, dokler ne bo otrok odstavljen in tedaj ga bom privedla, da se prikaže pred Gospodom in tam ostane za vedno.«
23 Elkanah her husband said to her, “Do what seems good to you. Wait until you have weaned him; only may the LORD establish his word.” So the woman waited and nursed her son until she weaned him.
Njen soprog Elkaná ji je rekel: »Stôri, kar se ti zdi dobro. Ostani, dokler ga ne odstaviš. Samo Gospod [naj] uveljavi svojo besedo.« Tako je ženska ostala in dojila svojega sina, dokler ga ni odstavila.
24 When she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls, and one ephah of meal, and a container of wine, and brought him to the LORD’s house in Shiloh. The child was young.
Ko ga je odstavila, ga je s seboj vzela gor, s tremi bikci, enim škafom moke in mehom vina ter ga privedla v Gospodovo hišo v Šilo. Otrok pa je bil mlad.
25 They killed the bull, and brought the child to Eli.
Usmrtili so bikca in otroka privedli k Éliju.
26 She said, “Oh, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to the LORD.
Rekla je: »Oh moj gospod, kakor živi tvoja duša, moj gospod, jaz sem ženska, ki je stala tukaj pri tebi, moleč h Gospodu.
27 I prayed for this child, and the LORD has given me my petition which I asked of him.
Za tega otroka sem molila in Gospod mi je izpolnil prošnjo, ki sem jo prosila od njega,
28 Therefore I have also given him to the LORD. As long as he lives he is given to the LORD.” He worshipped the LORD there.
zato sem ga tudi posodila Gospodu. Kakor dolgo živi, bo posojen Gospodu.« In tam je oboževal Gospoda.
