1. There was a man of Armathaim Sipha, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Helkana, a son of Jeremeel the son of Elias the son of Thoke, in Nasib Ephraim.
|
1. Now there was H1961 a certain H259 man H376 of H4480 Ramathaim H7436 -zophim , of mount H4480 H2022 Ephraim H669 , and his name H8034 was Elkanah H511 , the son H1121 of Jeroham H3395 , the son H1121 of Elihu H453 , the son H1121 of Tohu H8459 , the son H1121 of Zuph H6689 , an Ephrathite H6733 .
|
|
2. And he had two wives; the name of the one was Anna, and the name of the second Phennana. And Phennana had children, but Anna had no child.
|
2. And he had two H8147 wives H802 ; the name H8034 of the one H259 was Hannah H2584 , and the name H8034 of the other H8145 Peninnah H6444 : and Peninnah H6444 had H1961 children H3206 , but Hannah H2584 had no H369 children H3206 .
|
|
|
3. And this H1931 man H376 went up H5927 out of his city H4480 H5892 yearly H4480 H3117 H3117 to worship H7812 and to sacrifice H2076 unto the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 in Shiloh H7887 . And the two H8147 sons H1121 of Eli H5941 , Hophni H2652 and Phinehas H6372 , the priests H3548 of the LORD H3068 , were there H8033 .
|
|
4. And the day came, and Helkana sacrificed, and gave portions to his wife Phennana and her children.
|
4. And when the time H3117 was H1961 that Elkanah H511 offered H2076 , he gave H5414 to Peninnah H6444 his wife H802 , and to all H3605 her sons H1121 and her daughters H1323 , portions H4490 :
|
|
|
5. But unto Hannah H2584 he gave H5414 a H259 worthy H639 portion H4490 ; for H3588 he loved H157 H853 Hannah H2584 : but the LORD H3068 had shut up H5462 her womb H7358 .
|
|
6. For the Lord gave her no child in her affliction, and according to the despondency of her affliction; and she was dispirited on this account, that the Lord shut up her womb so as not to give her a child.
|
6. And her adversary H6869 also H1571 provoked H3707 her sore H3708 , for to H5668 make her fret H7481 , because H3588 the LORD H3068 had shut up H5462 H1157 her womb H7358 .
|
|
7. So she did year by year, in going up to the house of the Lord; and she was dispirited, and wept, and did not eat.
|
7. And as he did H6213 so H3651 year H8141 by year H8141 , when H4480 H1767 she went up H5927 to the house H4480 H1004 of the LORD H3068 , so H3651 she provoked H3707 her ; therefore she wept H1058 , and did not H3808 eat H398 .
|
|
8. And Helkana her husband said to her, Anna: and she said to him, Here am I, my lord: and he said to her, What ails thee that thou weepest? and why dost thou not eat? and why does thy heart smite thee? am I not better to thee than ten children?
|
8. Then said H559 Elkanah H511 her husband H376 to her, Hannah H2584 , why H4100 weepest H1058 thou? and why H4100 eatest H398 thou not H3808 ? and why H4100 is thy heart H3824 grieved H7489 ? am not H3808 I H595 better H2896 to thee than ten H4480 H6235 sons H1121 ?
|
|
|
9. So Hannah H2584 rose up H6965 after H310 they had eaten H398 in Shiloh H7887 , and after H310 they had drunk H8354 . Now Eli H5941 the priest H3548 sat H3427 upon H5921 a seat H3678 by H5921 a post H4201 of the temple H1964 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
10. And she was very much grieved in spirit, and prayed to the Lord, and wept abundantly.
|
10. And she H1931 was in bitterness H4751 of soul H5315 , and prayed H6419 unto H5921 the LORD H3068 , and wept sore H1058 H1058 .
|
|
|
11. And she vowed H5087 a vow H5088 , and said H559 , O LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 , if H518 thou wilt indeed look H7200 H7200 on the affliction H6040 of thine handmaid H519 , and remember H2142 me , and not H3808 forget H7911 H853 thine handmaid H519 , but wilt give H5414 unto thine handmaid H519 a man H376 child H2233 , then I will give H5414 him unto the LORD H3068 all H3605 the days H3117 of his life H2416 , and there shall no H3808 razor H4177 come H5927 upon H5921 his head H7218 .
|
|
12. And it came to pass, while she was long praying before the Lord, that Heli the priest marked her mouth.
|
12. And it came to pass H1961 , as H3588 she continued H7235 praying H6419 before H6440 the LORD H3068 , that Eli H5941 marked H8104 H853 her mouth H6310 .
|
|
13. And she was speaking in her heart, and her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: and Heli accounted her a drunken woman.
|
13. Now Hannah H2584 , she H1931 spoke H1696 in H5921 her heart H3820 ; only H7535 her lips H8193 moved H5128 , but her voice H6963 was not H3808 heard H8085 : therefore Eli H5941 thought H2803 she had been drunken H7910 .
|
|
14. And the servant of Heli said to her, How long wilt thou be drunken? take away thy wine from thee, and go out from the presence of the Lord.
|
14. And Eli H5941 said H559 unto H413 her, How H5704 long H4970 wilt thou be drunken H7937 ? put away H5493 H853 thy wine H3196 from H4480 H5921 thee.
|
|
|
15. And Hannah H2584 answered H6030 and said H559 , No H3808 , my lord H113 , I am a woman H802 of a sorrowful H7186 spirit H7307 : I H595 have drunk H8354 neither H3808 wine H3196 nor strong drink H7941 , but have poured out H8210 H853 my soul H5315 before H6440 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
|
16. Count H5414 not H408 H853 thine handmaid H519 for H6440 a daughter of Belial H1323 H1100 : for H3588 out of the abundance H4480 H7230 of my complaint H7879 and grief H3708 have I spoken H1696 hitherto H5704 H6258 .
|
|
17. And Heli answered and said to her, Go in peace: the God of Israel give thee all thy petition, which thou hast asked of him.
|
17. Then Eli H5941 answered H6030 and said H559 , Go H1980 in peace H7965 : and the God H430 of Israel H3478 grant H5414 thee H853 thy petition H7596 that H834 thou hast asked H7592 of H4480 H5973 him.
|
|
18. And she said, Thine handmaid has found favour in thine eyes: and the woman went her way, and entered into her lodging, and ate and drank with her husband, and her countenance was no more sad.
|
18. And she said H559 , Let thine handmaid H8198 find H4672 grace H2580 in thy sight H5869 . So the woman H802 went H1980 her way H1870 , and did eat H398 , and her countenance H6440 was H1961 no H3808 more H5750 sad .
|
|
19. And they rise early in the morning, and worship the Lord, and they go their way: and Helkana went into his house at Armathaim, and knew his wife Anna; and the Lord remembered her, and she conceived.
|
19. And they rose up in the morning early H7925 H1242 , and worshiped H7812 before H6440 the LORD H3068 , and returned H7725 , and came H935 to H413 their house H1004 to Ramah H7414 : and Elkanah H511 knew H3045 H853 Hannah H2584 his wife H802 ; and the LORD H3068 remembered H2142 her.
|
|
|
20. Wherefore it came to pass H1961 , when the time H3117 was come H8622 about after Hannah H2584 had conceived H2029 , that she bore H3205 a son H1121 , and called H7121 H853 his name H8034 Samuel H8050 , saying , Because H3588 I have asked H7592 him of the LORD H4480 H3068 .
|
|
21. And the man Helkana and all his house went up to offer in Selom the yearly sacrifice, and his vows, and all the tithes of his land.
|
21. And the man H376 Elkanah H511 , and all H3605 his house H1004 , went up H5927 to offer H2076 unto the LORD H3068 H853 the yearly H3117 sacrifice H2077 , and his vow H5088 .
|
|
22. But Anna did not go up with him, for she said to her husband, I will not go up until the child goes up, when I have weaned him, and he shall be presented before the Lord, and he shall abide there continually.
|
22. But Hannah H2584 went not up H5927 H3808 ; for H3588 she said H559 unto her husband H376 , I will not go up until H5704 the child H5288 be weaned H1580 , and then I will bring H935 him , that he may appear H7200 H853 before H6440 the LORD H3068 , and there H8033 abide H3427 forever H5704 H5769 .
|
|
23. And Helkana her husband said to her, Do that which is good in thine eyes, abide still until thou shalt have weaned him; but may the Lord establish that which comes out of thy mouth: and the woman tarried, and suckled her son until she had weaned him.
|
23. And Elkanah H511 her husband H376 said H559 unto her, Do H6213 what seemeth H5869 thee good H2896 ; tarry H3427 until H5704 thou have weaned H1580 him; only H389 the LORD H3068 establish H6965 H853 his word H1697 . So the woman H802 abode H3427 , and gave her son suck H3243 H853 H1121 until H5704 she weaned H1580 him.
|
|
|
24. And when H834 she had weaned H1580 him , she took him up H5927 with H5973 her , with three H7969 bullocks H6499 , and one H259 ephah H374 of flour H7058 , and a bottle H5035 of wine H3196 , and brought H935 him unto the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 in Shiloh H7887 : and the child H5288 was young H5288 .
|
|
25. And they brought him before the Lord; and his father slew his offering which he offered from year to year to the Lord; and he brought near the child, and slew the calf; and Anna the mother of the child brought him to Heli.
|
25. And they slew H7819 H853 a bullock H6499 , and brought H935 H853 the child H5288 to H413 Eli H5941 .
|
|
26. And she said, I pray thee, my lord, as thy soul liveth, I am the woman that stood in thy presence with thee while praying to the Lord.
|
26. And she said H559 , Oh H994 my lord H113 , as thy soul H5315 liveth H2416 , my lord H113 , I H589 am the woman H802 that stood H5324 by H5973 thee here H2088 , praying H6419 unto H413 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
27. For this child I prayed; and the Lord has given me my request that I asked of him.
|
27. For H413 this H2088 child H5288 I prayed H6419 ; and the LORD H3068 hath given H5414 me H853 my petition H7596 which H834 I asked H7592 of H4480 H5973 him:
|
|
28. And I lend him to the Lord all his days that he lives, a loan to the Lord: and she said,
|
28. Therefore also H1571 I H595 have lent H7592 him to the LORD H3068 ; as long H3605 as H834 he liveth H3117 he H1931 shall be H1961 lent H7592 to the LORD H3068 . And he worshiped H7812 the LORD H3068 there H8033 .
