¹Now 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:

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 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.

³This man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. of Armies in Shiloh. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests to Yahweh, 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.

⁴When the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, 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 to Hannah he gave a double portion; for he loved Hannah, but Yahweh had shut up her womb.

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

⁶Her rival provoked her severely, to make her fret, because Yahweh had shut up her womb.

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

⁷As he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of Yahweh, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and didn’t eat.

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

⁸Elkanah 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?”

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 was sitting on his seat by the doorpost of Yahweh’s temple.

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

¹⁰She was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to Yahweh, and wept bitterly.

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

¹¹She vowed a vow, and said, “Yahweh of Armies, 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 boy, then I will give him to Yahweh all the days of his life, and no razor shall come on 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.

¹²It happened, as she continued praying before Yahweh, that Eli saw her mouth.

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

¹³Now Hannah spoke 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.

¹⁴Eli said to her, “How long will you be drunken? Put away your wine from you.”

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

¹⁵Hannah 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 Yahweh.

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.

¹⁶Don’t count your handmaid for a wicked woman; for I have been speaking out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation.”

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

¹⁷Then Eli answered, “Go in peace; and may the God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of him.”

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

¹⁸She said, “Let your handmaid find favor in your sight.” So the woman went her way, and ate; and her facial expression wasn’t sad any more.

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

¹⁹They rose up in the morning early, and worshiped before Yahweh, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and Yahweh 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.

²⁰It happened, when the time had come, that Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she named him Samuel, Samuel sounds like the Hebrew for “heard by God.” saying, “Because I have asked him of Yahweh.”

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.

²¹The man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to Yahweh 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 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 Yahweh, and stay there forever.”

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.

²³Elkanah her husband said to her, “Do what seems good to you. Wait until you have weaned him; only may Yahweh establish his word.” So the woman waited and nursed her son, 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.

²⁴When she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls, and one ephah 1 ephah is about 22 litres or about 2/3 of a bushel of meal, and a bottle of wine, and brought him to Yahweh’s house in Shiloh. 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.

²⁵They killed the bull, and brought the child to Eli.

²⁵A zabili junca a doviedli chlapca k Élimu.

²⁶She said, “Oh, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to Yahweh.

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 Yahweh has 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 granted him to Yahweh. As long as he lives he is granted to Yahweh.” He worshiped Yahweh 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.
