Первая книга Царств 1

1 И бысть человек от Армафем Сифы, от горы Ефремли, и имя ему Елкана сын Иеремииль, сына Илиина, сына Фокеля в Насиве от Армафема от горы Ефремли:

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 сему две жены (быша): имя единей Анна и имя вторей Феннана: и бяху Феннане дети, Анне же не бяше отрочате.

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 восхождаше человек от дне до дне из града своего Армафема покланятися и жрети Господу Богу Саваофу в Силом. И тамо бе Илий и два сына его Офни и Финеес, жерцы Господни.

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

4 И бысть день, и пожре Елкана и даде Феннане жене своей и сыном ея и дщерем ея части:

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

5 Анне же даде часть едину, яко не бе ей чада, обаче Анну любляше Елкана паче Феннаны. И Господь затвори ложесна ея:

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

6 занеже не даде ей Господь чада по скорби ея и по сетованию оскорбления ея, и сетоваше сего ради, яко затвори Господь утробу ея не дати ей чада.

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

7 Тако творяше от года до года, внегда приходити ей в дом Господень: (укоряше ея тако, ) и сетоваше, и плакаше, и не ядяше.

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

8 И рече ей Елкана муж ея: Анна. И рече ему: се, аз, господи. И рече ей: что ти есть, яко плачешися? И почто не яси? И почто биеши сердце твое? Несмь ли аз тебе добрее паче десяти чад?

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 И воставши Анна по ядении их в Силоме, и ста пред Господем. Илий же жрец седяше на престоле, при празе двери храма Господня.

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

10 И та умиленна душею, и помолися Господу и плачущи проплака,

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

11 и обеща обет Господу, глаголющи: Адонаи Господи Елои Саваоф, аще призирая призриши на смирение рабы Твоея и помянеши мя, и даси рабе Твоей семя мужеско, то дам е пред Тобою в дар до дне смерти его: и вина и пиянственнаго не испиет, и железо не взыдет на главу его.

She vowed a vow, and said, "Jehovah 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 бысть егда умножи молящися пред Господем, Илий же жрец смотряше на уста ея.

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

13 И та глаголаше в сердцы своем, токмо устне ея двизастеся, а глас ея не слышашеся: и мняше ю Илий пияну сущу.

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

14 И рече ей Илий: доколе пияна будеши? Отими вино твое и иди от места Господня.

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

15 И отвеща Анна и рече: ни, господи: жена в жесток день аз есмь, вина и пиянства не пих, но изливаю пред Господем душу мою:

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 Jehovah.

16 не даждь рабы твоея во дщерь погибели, яко от множества глумления моего и от множества сетования моего истаях даже доселе.

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 И отвеща Илий и рече к ней: иди с миром, Бог Израилев да даст ти все прошение твое, еже просила еси от Него.

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

18 И рече Анна: обрете раба твоя благодать пред очима твоима. И иде жена в путь свой, и вниде во обитель свою, и яде с мужем своим и пи, и лице ея не испаде ктому.

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 утреневаша заутра, и поклонишася Господу, и идоша путем своим. И вниде Елкана в дом свой во Армафем и позна Елкана жену свою Анну: и помяне ю Господь, и зачат.

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

20 И бысть во время дний, и роди Анна сына и нарече имя ему Самуил: и рече: яко от Господа Бога Саваофа испросих его.

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 Jehovah."

21 И взыде человек Елкана и весь дом его в Силом пожрети жертву дний и обеты своя и вся десятины земли своея.

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

22 Анна же не взыде с ним, яко рече мужеви своему: дондеже взыдет отроча, и аще отдою е, тогда явится лицу Господню и пребудет тамо 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 Jehovah, and stay there forever."

23 И рече ей Елкана муж ея: твори благое пред очима твоима, седи дондеже отдоиши е: но да утвердит Господь (слово твое), изшедшее из уст твоих. И седе жена, и млеком питаше сына своего, дондеже отдои его.

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

24 И взыде с ним в Силом, егда отдои его, с телцем трилетным и с хлебы и со ефи муки пшеничны и мехом вина: и внидоша в дом Господень в Силом, и отроча с ними.

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 Jehovah in Shiloh. And the child was with them. And they went before Jehovah, and his father slaughtered the sacrifice, which he did annually to Jehovah. And he brought the child,

25 И приведоша е пред Господа: и закла отец его жертву, юже творяше от дний на дни Господеви: и приведоша отроча, и закла телца. И приведе Анна мати отроча ко Илию

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

26 и рече: во мне, господи, да живет душа твоя, господине мой, аз жена стоявшая пред тобою, о сем помолитися Господу:

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

27 о отрочати сем молихся, и даде ми Господь прошение мое, еже просих у Него:

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

28 и аз отдаю е Господеви во вся дни живота его на служение Господеви. И поклонися тамо Господеви.

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