1 Samuele (1 صموئيل) 1

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 كان رجل من رامتايم صوفيم من جبل افرايم اسمه ألقانة بن يروحام بن اليهو بن توحو بن صوف. هو افرايمي.	1 There was a certain man from Rama-thaim, Elkanah by name, a Zuphite from the hill country of Ephraim. He was the son of Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
2 وله امرأتان اسم الواحدة حنّة واسم الاخرى فننّة. وكان لفننّة اولاد واما حنّة فلم يكن لها اولاد.	2 He had two wives, one named Hannah, the other Peninnah; Peninnah had children, but Hannah was childless.
3 وكان هذا الرجل يصعد من مدينته من سنة الى سنة ليسجد ويذبح لرب الجنود في شيلوه. وكان هناك ابنا عالي حفني وفينحاس كاهنا الرب.	3 This man regularly went on pilgrimage from his city to worship the LORD of hosts and to sacrifice to him at Shiloh, where the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were ministering as priests of the LORD.
4 ولما كان الوقت وذبح القانة اعطى فننّة امرأته وجميع بنيها وبناتها انصبة.	4 When the day came for Elkanah to offer sacrifice, he used to give a portion each to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters,
5 واما حنّة فاعطاها نصيب اثنين لانه كان يحب حنّة. ولكن الرب كان قد اغلق رحمها.	5 but a double portion to Hannah because he loved her, though the LORD had made her barren.
6 وكانت ضرّتها تغيظها ايضا غيظا لاجل المراغمة. لان الرب اغلق رحمها.	6 Her rival, to upset her, turned it into a constant reproach to her that the LORD had left her barren.
7 وهكذا صار سنة بعد سنة كلما صعدت الى بيت الرب هكذا كانت تغيظها. فبكت ولم تأكل.	7 This went on year after year; each time they made their pilgrimage to the sanctuary of the LORD, Peninnah would approach her, and Hannah would weep and refuse to eat.
8 فقال لها القانة رجلها يا حنّة لماذا تبكين ولماذا لا تأكلين ولماذا يكتئب قلبك. أما انا خير لك من عشرة بنين	8 Her husband Elkanah used to ask her: "Hannah, why do you weep, and why do you refuse to eat? Why do you grieve? Am I not more to you than ten sons?"
9 فقامت حنّة بعد ما اكلوا في شيلوه وبعد ما شربوا. وعالي الكاهن جالس على الكرسي عند قائمة هيكل الرب.	9 Hannah rose after one such meal at Shiloh, and presented herself before the LORD; at the time, Eli the priest was sitting on a chair near the doorpost of the LORD'S temple.
10 وهي مرّة النفس. فصلّت الى الرب وبكت بكاء	10 In her bitterness she prayed to the LORD, weeping copiously,
11 ونذرت نذرا وقالت يا رب الجنود ان نظرت نظرا الى مذلة امتك وذكرتني ولم تنس امتك بل اعطيت امتك زرع بشر فاني اعطيه للرب كل ايام حياته ولا يعلو راسه موسى.	11 and she made a vow, promising: "O LORD of hosts, if you look with pity on the misery of your handmaid, if you remember me and do not forget me, if you give your handmaid a male child, I will give him to the LORD for as long as he lives; neither wine nor liquor shall he drink, and no razor shall ever touch his head."
12 وكان اذ اكثرت الصلاة امام الرب وعالي يلاحظ فاها.	12 As she remained long at prayer before the LORD, Eli watched her mouth,
13 فان حنّة كانت تتكلم في قلبها وشفتاها فقط تتحركان وصوتها لم يسمع. ان عالي ظنّها سكرى.	13 for Hannah was praying silently; though her lips were moving, her voice could not be heard. Eli, thinking her drunk,
14 فقال لها عالي حتى متى تسكرين. انزعي خمرك عنك.	14 said to her, "How long will you make a drunken show of yourself? Sober up from your wine!"
15 فاجابت حنّة وقالت لا يا سيدي. اني امرأة حزينة الروح ولم اشرب خمرا ولا مسكرا بل اسكب نفسي امام الرب.	15 "It isn't that, my lord," Hannah answered. "I am an unhappy woman. I have had neither wine nor liquor; I was only pouring out my troubles to the LORD.
16 لا تحسب امتك ابنة بليعال. لاني من كثرة كربتي وغيظي قد تكلمت الى الآن.	16 Do not think your handmaid a ne'er-do-well; my prayer has been prompted by my deep sorrow and misery."
17 فاجاب عالي وقال اذهبي بسلام واله اسرائيل يعطيك سؤلك الذي سألته من لدنه.	17 Eli said, "Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of him."
18 فقالت لتجد جاريتك نعمة في عينيك. ثم مضت المرأة في طريقها واكلت ولم يكن وجهها بعد مغيّرا	18 She replied, "Think kindly of your maidservant," and left. She went to her quarters, ate and drank with her husband, and no longer appeared downcast.
19 وبكروا في الصباح وسجدوا امام الرب ورجعوا وجاءوا الى بيتهم في الرامة. وعرف ألقانة امرأته حنّة والرب ذكرها.	19 Early the next morning they worshiped before the LORD, and then returned to their home in Ramah. When Elkanah had relations with his wife Hannah, the LORD remembered her.
20 وكان في مدار السنة ان حنّة حبلت وولدت ابنا ودعت اسمه صموئيل قائلة لاني من الرب سألته.	20 She conceived, and at the end of her term bore a son whom she called Samuel, since she had asked the LORD for him.
21 وصعد الرجل ألقانة وجميع بيته ليذبح للرب الذبيحة السنوية ونذره.	21 The next time her husband Elkanah was going up with the rest of his household to offer the customary sacrifice to the LORD and to fulfill his vows,
22 ولكن حنّة لم تصعد لانها قالت لرجلها متى فطم الصبي آتي به ليتراءى امام الرب ويقيم هناك الى الابد.	22 Hannah did not go, explaining to her husband, "Once the child is weaned, I will take him to appear before the LORD and to remain there forever; I will offer him as a perpetual nazirite."
23 فقال لها القانة رجلها اعملي ما يحسن في عينيك. امكثي حتى تفطميه. انما الرب يقيم كلامه. فمكثت المرأة وارضعت ابنها حتى فطمته	23 Her husband Elkanah answered her: "Do what you think best; wait until you have weaned him. Only, may the LORD bring your resolve to fulfillment!" And so she remained at home and nursed her son until she had weaned him.
24 ثم حين فطمته اصعدته معها بثلاثة ثيران وايفة دقيق وزق خمر وأتت به الى الرب في شيلوه والصبي صغير.	24 Once he was weaned, she brought him up with her, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine, and presented him at the temple of the LORD in Shiloh.
25 فذبحوا الثور وجاءوا بالصبي الى عالي.	25 After the boy's father had sacrificed the young bull, Hannah, his mother, approached Eli
26 وقالت اسألك يا سيدي. حية هي نفسك يا سيدي انا المرأة التي وقفت لديك هنا تصلّي الى الرب.	26 and said: "Pardon, my lord! As you live my lord, I am the woman who stood near you here, praying to the LORD.
27 لاجل هذا الصبي صلّيت فاعطاني الرب سؤلي الذي سألته من لدنه.	27 I prayed for this child, and the LORD granted my request.
28 وانا ايضا قد اعرته للرب. جميع ايام حياته هو عارية للرب. وسجد هناك للرب	28 Now I, in turn, give him to the LORD; as long as he lives, he shall be dedicated to the LORD." She left him there;
