¹Now there was a certain man of Ramathaimzophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite:

¹A bol nejaký muž z Ramataim-cofíma, s vrchu Efraimovho, ktorému bolo meno Elkána, syn Jerocháma, syna Elihu-va, syna Tochu-va, syna Cúfovho, Efraťan.

²And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.

²Ten mal dve ženy; jednej bolo meno Anna, a meno druhej bolo Peninna. Peninna mala deti, ale Anna nemala detí.

³And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, were there.

³Človek chodieval z roka na rok zo svojho mesta hore klaňať sa a obetovať Hospodinovi Zástupov bitnú obeť v Síle, kde boli dvaja synovia Éliho, Chofni a Pinchas, kňazmi Hospodinovi.

⁴And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:

⁴A bývalo vše toho dňa, keď obetoval Elkána bitnú obeť, že dal Peninne, svojej žene, i všetkým jej synom i jej dcéram diely.

⁵But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb.

⁵Ale Anne dal dvojnásobný diel, lebo Annu miloval. Lež Hospodin bol zavrel jej život.

⁶And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb.

⁶A jej protivnica ju veľmi popudzovala, aby ju rozrušovala, pretože Hospodin bol zavrel je život.

⁷And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.

⁷Tak robieval Elkána každého roku, kedykoľvek išla hore do domu Hospodinovho, a tamtá ju vždy tak popudzovala, a ona plakávala a nejedávala.

⁸Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sons?

⁸A Elkána jej muž, jej povedal: Anna, prečo plačeš? A prečo neješ? A prečo je smutné tvoje srdce? Či nie som ti ja lepší ako desať synov?

⁹So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD.

⁹A Anna vstala, keď boli jedli v Síle a keď boli pili. A Éli, kňaz, sedel na stolici pri podvojach chrámu Hospodinovho.

¹⁰And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore.

¹⁰A ona bola rozžialenej duše a modlila sa Hospodinovi a plakala veľmi.

¹¹And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.

¹¹A sľúbila sľub a riekla: Hospodine Zástupov, ak pohliadnuť pohliadneš na trápenie svojej dievky a rozpomenieš sa na mňa a nezabudneš na svoju dievku, ale dáš svojej dievke plod mužského pohlavia, dám ho Hospodinovi, aby bol jeho po všetky dni svojho života, a britva nevstúpi na jeho hlavu.

¹²And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli marked her mouth.

¹²A stalo sa, keď sa len dlho modlila pred Hospodinom, že Éli pozoroval na jej ústa.

¹³Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.

¹³Ale Anna hovorila vo svojom srdci; iba jej rty sa pohybovaly, a jej hlasu nebolo počuť. Preto myslel o nej Éli, že je opilá.

¹⁴And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.

¹⁴A Éli jej povedal: Dokedyže budeš opilá? Vytriezvej zo svojho vína!

¹⁵And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD.

¹⁵Ale Anna odpovedala a riekla: Nie som ja opilá, môj pane; som žena utrápeného ducha a vína ani nijakého opojného nápoja som nepila, ale vylievam svoju dušu pred Hospodinom.

¹⁶Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.

¹⁶Nepovažuj svojej dievky za dcéru beliála, lebo z mnohého svojho úpenia a z veľkého svojho zármutku som hovorila až doteraz.

¹⁷Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him.

¹⁷Na to odpovedal Éli a riekol: Idi v pokoji, a Bôh Izraelov nech ti dá to, čo si prosila od neho.

¹⁸And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad.

¹⁸A riekla: Nech najde tvoja dievka milosť v tvojich očiach. A žena išla svojou cestou a najedla sa, a jej tvár nebola viacej smutná.

¹⁹And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.

¹⁹Potom vstali skoro ráno a poklonili sa pred Hospodinom a navrátiac sa prišli do svojho domu do Rámy. A Elkána poznal Annu, svoju ženu, a Hospodin sa rozpomenul na ňu.

²⁰Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the LORD.

²⁰A stalo sa, keď tomu prišiel čas, že Anna počala a porodila syna a nazvala jeho meno Samuel, lebo riekla: Od Hospodina som ho vyprosila.

²¹And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer unto the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.

²¹A človek Elkána zase odišiel hore i s celým svojím domom obetovať Hospodinovi každoročnú obeť bitnú a splniť svoj sľub.

²²But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, I will not go up until the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide for ever.

²²Ale Anna neišla hore, lebo riekla svojmu mužovi: Až bude odstavený chlapec, zavediem ho ta, a ukáže sa pred tvárou Hospodinovou a bude tam bývať až na veky.

²³And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only the LORD establish his word. So the woman abode, and gave her son suck until she weaned him.

²³A Elkána, jej muž, jej povedal: Učiň to, čo je dobré v tvojich očiach; zostaň, až ho odstavíš, len nech Hospodin postaví, a tak splní svoje slovo. A tak zostala žena a kojila svojho syna, dokiaľ ho neodstavila.

²⁴And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the LORD in Shiloh: and the child was young.

²⁴Potom, keď ho odstavila, odviedla ho so sebou hore i s tromi juncami nesúc jednu efu bielej múky jemnej a nádobu vína a doviedla ho do domu Hospodinovho do Síla, a chlapča bolo ešte malé.

²⁵And they slew a bullock, and brought the child to Eli.

²⁵A zabili junca a doviedli chlapca k Élimu.

²⁶And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD.

²⁶A ona riekla: Pohliadni na mňa, môj pane! Jako že žije tvoja duša, môj pane, ja som tá žena, ktorá som stála tu s tebou modliac sa Hospodinovi.

²⁷For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him:

²⁷Za tohoto chlapca som sa modlila, a Hospodin mi dal to, čo som si prosila od neho.

²⁸Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the LORD. And he worshipped the LORD there.

²⁸Preto ho i ja oddávam Hospodinovi, aby bol jeho po všetky dni, čo bude žiť; je vyprosený pre Hospodina. A poklonili sa tam Hospodinovi.
