1 Књига Самуилова 1

1 Беше један човек из Раматајим-Софима, из горе Јефремове, коме име беше Елкана син Јероама, сина Елива, сина Това, сина Суфовог, Ефраћанин.

Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim, a Zuphite of the hill country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Toah, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.

2 И имаше две жене, једној беше име Ана а другој Фенина; и Фенина имаше деце, а Ана немаше деце.

And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of other Peninnah. And Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.

3 И иђаше тај човек сваке године из свог града да се поклони и принесе жртву Господу над војскама у Силом; а онде беху два сина Илијева, Офније и Финес, свештеници Господњи.

This man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests of the LORD, were there.

4 И један дан кад Елкана принесе жртву, даде Фенини жени својој и свим синовима њеним и кћерима њеним по део;

When the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:

5 Ани пак даде два дела, јер љубљаше Ану, а њој Господ беше затворио материцу.

but to Hannah he gave a double portion; for he loved Hannah, but the LORD had shut up her womb.

6 И противница је њена врло цвељаше пркосећи јој што јој Господ беше затворио материцу.

Her rival taunted her severely, to irritate her, because the LORD had shut up her womb.

7 Тако чињаше Елкана сваке године, и Ана хођаше у дом Господњи, а она је цвељаше, те плакаше и не јеђаше.

As he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she taunted her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.

8 А Елкана муж њен рече јој једном: Ана, зашто плачеш? И зашто не једеш? И зашто је срце твоје невесело? Нисам ли ти ја бољи него десет синова?

Elkanah her husband said to her, "Hannah, why do you weep? Why do you not eat? Why is your heart grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?"

9 А Ана уста, пошто једоше и пише у Силому; а Илије свештеник сеђаше на столици, на прагу дома Господњег.

So Hannah rose after eating and drinking in Shiloh, and stood before the LORD. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the temple of the LORD.

10 И она, тужна у срцу помоли се Господу плачући много.

She was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD, and wept bitterly.

11 И заветова се говорећи: Господе над војскама! Ако погледаш на муку слушкиње своје, и опоменеш ме се, и не заборавиш слушкиње своје, него даш слушкињи својој мушко чедо, ја ћу га дати Господу докле је год жив, и бритва неће прећи преко главе његове.

She vowed a vow, and said, "LORD of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your handmaid, and remember me, and not forget your handmaid, but will give to your handmaid a son, then I will set him before you as a Nazirite until the day of his death. And he will not drink wine or strong drink, and no razor will come on his head."

12 И кад се она дуго мољаше пред Господом, Илије мотраше на уста њена.

It happened, as she multiplied prayers before the LORD, that Eli saw her mouth.

13 Али Ана говораше у срцу свом, уста јој се само мицаху а глас јој се не чујаше; стога Илије помисли да је пијана.

And she was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk.

14 Па јој рече Илије: Докле ћеш бити пијана? Отрезни се од вина свог.

So Eli said to her, "How long will you make yourself drunk? Put away your wine from you."

15 Али Ана одговори и рече: Нисам пијана, господару, него сам жена тужна у срцу; нисам пила вина ни силовитог пића; него изливам душу своју пред Господом.

And Hannah answered, "No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I poured out my soul before the LORD.

16 Немој једначити слушкиње своје с неваљалом женом; јер сам од велике туге и жалости своје говорила досад.

Do not count your handmaid as a worthless woman; for I have been speaking out of the abundance of my distress and my anguish."

17 Тада одговори Илије и рече: Иди с миром; а Бог Израиљев да ти испуни молбу, за шта си Га молила.

Then Eli answered, "Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of him."

18 А она рече: Нека нађе слушкиња твоја милост пред тобом! Тада отиде жена својим путем, и једе, и лице јој не беше више као пре.

She said, "Let your handmaid find favor in your sight." So the woman went her way, and entered her quarters, and ate; and her facial expression wasn't sad any more.

19 И сутрадан уранише, и поклонише се Господу, и вратише се и дођоше кући својој у Рамат. И Елкана позна Ану жену своју, и Господ се опомену ње.

They rose up in the morning early, and worshiped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.

20 И кад би време, пошто Ана затрудне, роди сина и наде му име Самуило, јер, рече, испросих га у Господа.

It happened, when the time had come, that Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she named him Samuel, saying, "Because I have asked him of the LORD."

21 Потом пође онај човек Елкана са свим домом својим да принесе Господу годишњу жртву и завет свој.

The man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and to redeem his vow and all the tithes of his land.

22 Али Ана не пође, јер рече мужу свом: Докле одојим дете, онда ћу га одвести да изађе пред Господа и остане онде до века.

But Hannah did not 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."

23 И рече јој Елкана, муж њен: Чини како ти драго; остани докле год не одојиш; само да хоће Господ испунити реч своју. И тако жена оста; и дојаше сина свог докле га не одоји.

And Elkanah her husband said to her, "Do what seems good in your eyes. Wait until you have weaned him; only may the LORD establish what you have said." So the woman waited and nursed her son, until she weaned him.

24 А кад га одоји, одведе га са собом узевши три телета и ефу брашна и мех вина, и уведе га у дом Господњи у Силому; а дете беше још мало.

And she went up with him to Shiloh with a three-year old bull, and bread, and one ephah of flour, and a skin of wine, and brought him to the house of the LORD in Shiloh. And the child was with them. And they went before the LORD, and his father slaughtered the sacrifice, which he did annually to the LORD. And he brought the child,

25 И заклаше теле и доведоше дете к Илију.

and he slaughtered the bull. And Hannah, the mother of the child, brought him to Eli.

26 И она рече: Чуј господару, како је жива душа твоја, господару, ја сам она жена која је стајала овде код тебе молећи се Господу.

She said, "Oh, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to the LORD.

27 Молих се за ово дете, и испуни ми Господ молбу моју, за шта сам Га молила.

For this child I prayed; and the LORD has given me my petition which I asked of him.

28 Зато и ја дајем њега Господу, докле је год жив, да је дат Господу. И поклонише се онде Господу.

Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD. As long as he lives he is lent to the LORD." He worshiped the LORD there.
