1 Samuel 1
1 Now 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.
fuit vir unus de Ramathaimsophim de monte Ephraim et nomen eius Helcana filius Hieroam filii Heliu filii Thau filii Suph Ephratheus
2 He had two wives. The name of one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
et habuit duas uxores nomen uni Anna et nomen secundae Fenenna fueruntque Fenennae filii Annae autem non erant liberi
3 This man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to Yahweh of Armies in Shiloh. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests to Yahweh, were there.
et ascendebat vir ille de civitate sua statutis diebus ut adoraret et sacrificaret Domino exercituum in Silo erant autem ibi duo filii Heli Ofni et Finees sacerdotes Domini
4 When the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and her daughters;
venit ergo dies et immolavit Helcana deditque Fenennae uxori suae et cunctis filiis eius et filiabus partes
5 but he gave a double portion to Hannah, for he loved Hannah, but Yahweh had shut up her womb.
Annae autem dedit partem unam tristis quia Annam diligebat Dominus autem concluserat vulvam eius
6 Her rival provoked her severely, to irritate her, because Yahweh had shut up her womb.
adfligebat quoque eam aemula eius et vehementer angebat in tantum ut exprobraret quod conclusisset Dominus vulvam eius
7 So year by year, when she went up to Yahweh’s house, her rival provoked her. Therefore she wept, and didn’t eat.
sicque faciebat per singulos annos cum redeunte tempore ascenderent templum Domini et sic provocabat eam porro illa flebat et non capiebat cibum
8 Elkanah 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?”
dixit ergo ei Helcana vir suus Anna cur fles et quare non comedis et quam ob rem adfligitur cor tuum numquid non ego melior sum tibi quam decem filii
9 So Hannah rose up after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on his seat by the doorpost of Yahweh’s temple.
surrexit autem Anna postquam comederat in Silo et biberat et Heli sacerdote sedente super sellam ante postes templi Domini
10 She was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to Yahweh, weeping bitterly.
cum esset amaro animo oravit Dominum flens largiter
11 She vowed a vow, and said, “Yahweh of Armies, if you will indeed look at the affliction of your servant and remember me, and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a boy, then I will give him to Yahweh all the days of his life, and no razor shall come on his head.”
et votum vovit dicens Domine exercituum si respiciens videris adflictionem famulae tuae et recordatus mei fueris nec oblitus ancillae tuae dederisque servae tuae sexum virilem dabo eum Domino omnes dies vitae eius et novacula non ascendet super caput eius
12 As she continued praying before Yahweh, Eli saw her mouth.
factum est ergo cum illa multiplicaret preces coram Domino ut Heli observaret os eius
13 Now Hannah spoke in her heart. Only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk.
porro Anna loquebatur in corde suo tantumque labia illius movebantur et vox penitus non audiebatur aestimavit igitur eam Heli temulentam
14 Eli said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Get rid of your wine!”
dixitque ei usquequo ebria eris digere paulisper vinum quo mades
15 Hannah answered, “No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have not been drinking wine or strong drink, but I poured out my soul before Yahweh.
respondens Anna nequaquam inquit domine mi nam mulier infelix nimis ego sum vinumque et omne quod inebriare potest non bibi sed effudi animam meam in conspectu Domini
16 Don’t consider your servant a wicked woman; for I have been speaking out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation.”
ne reputes ancillam tuam quasi unam de filiabus Belial quia ex multitudine doloris et maeroris mei locuta sum usque in praesens
17 Then Eli answered, “Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of him.”
tunc Heli ait ei vade in pace et Deus Israhel det tibi petitionem quam rogasti eum
18 She said, “Let your servant find favor in your sight.” So the woman went her way and ate; and her facial expression wasn’t sad any more.
et illa dixit utinam inveniat ancilla tua gratiam in oculis tuis et abiit mulier in viam suam et comedit vultusque eius non sunt amplius in diversa mutati
19 They rose up in the morning early and worshiped Yahweh, then returned and came to their house to Ramah. Then Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and Yahweh remembered her.
et surrexerunt mane et adoraverunt coram Domino reversique sunt et venerunt in domum suam Ramatha cognovit autem Helcana Annam uxorem suam et recordatus est eius Dominus
20 When the time had come, Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she named him Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked him of Yahweh.”
et factum est post circulum dierum concepit Anna et peperit filium vocavitque nomen eius Samuhel eo quod a Domino postulasset eum
21 The man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to Yahweh the yearly sacrifice and his vow.
ascendit autem vir Helcana et omnis domus eius ut immolaret Domino hostiam sollemnem et votum suum
22 But 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.”
et Anna non ascendit dixit enim viro suo non vadam donec ablactetur infans et ducam eum et appareat ante conspectum Domini et maneat ibi iugiter
23 Elkanah 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.
et ait ei Helcana vir suus fac quod bonum tibi videtur et mane donec ablactes eum precorque ut impleat Dominus verbum suum mansit ergo mulier et lactavit filium suum donec amoveret eum a lacte
24 When she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls, and one ephah of meal, and a container of wine, and brought him to Yahweh’s house in Shiloh. The child was young.
et adduxit eum secum postquam ablactaverat in vitulis tribus et tribus modiis farinae et amphora vini et adduxit eum ad domum Domini in Silo puer autem erat adhuc infantulus
25 They killed the bull, and brought the child to Eli.
et immolaverunt vitulum et obtulerunt puerum Heli
26 She said, “Oh, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to Yahweh.
et ait obsecro mi domine vivit anima tua domine ego sum illa mulier quae steti coram te hic orans Dominum
27 I prayed for this child, and Yahweh has given me my petition which I asked of him.
pro puero isto oravi et dedit Dominus mihi petitionem meam quam postulavi eum
28 Therefore I have also given him to Yahweh. As long as he lives he is given to Yahweh.” He worshiped Yahweh there.
idcirco et ego commodavi eum Domino cunctis diebus quibus fuerit accommodatus Domino et adoraverunt ibi Dominum et oravit Anna et ait
