| 1st-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: | | Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim, a Zuphite of the hill-country of Ephraim, named Elkanah; he was the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite: |
| 1st-Samuel 1:2 | and 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. | | And he had two wives, one named Hannah and the other Peninnah: and Peninnah was the mother of children, but Hannah had no children. |
| 1st-Samuel 1:3 | This man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to Yahweh of Hosts in Shiloh. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests to Yahweh, were there. | | Now this man went up from his town every year to give worship and to make offerings to the Lord of armies in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the Lord, were there. |
| 1st-Samuel 1:4 | When the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions: | | And when the day came for Elkanah to make his offering, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and daughters, their part of the feast: |
| 1st-Samuel 1:5 | but to Hannah he gave a double portion; for he loved Hannah, but Yahweh had shut up her womb. | | But to Hannah he gave one part, though Hannah was very dear to him, but the Lord had not let her have children. |
| 1st-Samuel 1:6 | Her rival provoked her sore, to make her fret, because Yahweh had shut up her womb. | | And the other wife did everything possible to make her unhappy, because the Lord had not let her have children; |
| 1st-Samuel 1:7 | [as] he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of Yahweh, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat. | | And year by year, whenever she went up to the house of the Lord, she kept on attacking her, so that Hannah gave herself up to weeping and would take no food. |
| 1st-Samuel 1:8 | Elkanah her husband said to her, Hannah, why weep you? and why don't you eat? and why is your heart grieved? am I not better to you than ten sons? | | Then her husband Elkanah said to her, Hannah, why are you weeping? and why are you taking no food? why is your heart troubled? am I not more to you than ten sons? |
| 1st-Samuel 1:9 | So 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 door-post of the temple of Yahweh. | | So after they had taken food and wine in the guest room, Hannah got up. Now Eli the priest was seated by the pillars of the doorway of the Temple of the Lord. |
| 1st-Samuel 1:10 | She was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to Yahweh, and wept sore. | | And with grief in her soul, weeping bitterly, she made her prayer to the Lord. |
| 1st-Samuel 1:11 | She vowed a vow, and said, Yahweh of hosts, 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 man-child, then I will give him to Yahweh all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come on his head. | | And she made an oath, and said, O Lord of armies, if you will truly take note of the sorrow of your servant, not turning away from me but keeping me in mind, and will give me a man-child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and his hair will never be cut. |
| 1st-Samuel 1:12 | It happened, as she continued praying before Yahweh, that Eli marked her mouth. | | Now while she was a long time in prayer before the Lord, Eli was watching her mouth. |
| 1st-Samuel 1:13 | Now Hannah, she spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken. | | For Hannah's prayer came from her heart, and though her lips were moving she made no sound: so it seemed to Eli that she was overcome with wine. |
| 1st-Samuel 1:14 | Eli said to her, How long will you be drunken? put away your wine from you. | | And Eli said to her, How long are you going to be the worse for drink? Put away the effects of your wine from you. |
| 1st-Samuel 1:15 | Hannah 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. | | And Hannah, answering him, said, No, my lord, I am a woman whose spirit is broken with sorrow: I have not taken wine or strong drink, but I have been opening my heart before the Lord. |
| 1st-Samuel 1:16 | Don't count your handmaid for a wicked woman; for out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation have I spoken hitherto. | | Do not take your servant to be a good-for-nothing woman: for my words have come from my stored-up sorrow and pain. |
| 1st-Samuel 1:17 | Then Eli answered, Go in peace; and the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of him. | | Then Eli said to her, Go in peace: and may the God of Israel give you an answer to the prayer you have made to him. |
| 1st-Samuel 1:18 | She 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. | | And she said, May your servant have grace in your eyes. So the woman went away, and took part in the feast, and her face was no longer sad. |
| 1st-Samuel 1:19 | They rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before Yahweh, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and Yahweh remembered her. | | And early in the morning they got up, and after worshipping before the Lord they went back to Ramah, to their house: and Elkanah had connection with his wife; and the Lord kept her in mind. |
| 1st-Samuel 1:20 | It happened, when the time was come about, that Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she named him Samuel, [saying], Because I have asked him of Yahweh. | | Now the time came when Hannah, being with child, gave birth to a son; and she gave him the name Samuel, Because, she said, I made a prayer to the Lord for him. |
| 1st-Samuel 1:21 | The man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to Yahweh the yearly sacrifice, and his vow. | | And the man Elkanah with all his family went up to make the year's offering to the Lord, and to give effect to his oath. |
| 1st-Samuel 1:22 | But Hannah didn't go up; for she said to her husband, [I will not go up] until the child be weaned; and then I will bring him, that he may appear before Yahweh, and there abide forever. | | But Hannah did not go, for she said to her husband, I will not go till the child has been taken from the breast, and then I will take him with me and put him before the Lord, where he may be for ever. |
| 1st-Samuel 1:23 | Elkanah her husband said to her, Do what seems you good; wait until you have weaned him; only Yahweh establish his word. So the woman waited and nursed her son, until she weaned him. | | And her husband Elkanah said to her, Do whatever seems right to you, but not till you have taken him from the breast; only may the Lord do as he has said. So the woman, waiting there, gave her son milk till he was old enough to be taken from the breast. |
| 1st-Samuel 1:24 | When she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls, and one ephah of meal, and a bottle of wine, and brought him to the house of Yahweh in Shiloh: and the child was young. | | Then when she had done so, she took him with her, with a three-year old ox and an ephah of meal and a skin full of wine, and took him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh: now the child was still very young. |
| 1st-Samuel 1:25 | They killed the bull, and brought the child to Eli. | | And when they had made an offering of the ox, they took the child to Eli. |
| 1st-Samuel 1:26 | She said, Oh, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to Yahweh. | | And she said, O my lord, as your soul is living, my lord, I am that woman who was making a prayer to the Lord here by your side: |
| 1st-Samuel 1:27 | For this child I prayed; and Yahweh has given me my petition which I asked of him: | | My prayer was for this child; and the Lord has given him to me in answer to my request: |
| 1st-Samuel 1:28 | therefore also I have granted him to Yahweh; as long as he lives he is granted to Yahweh. He worshipped Yahweh there. | | So I have given him to the Lord; for all his life he is the Lord's. Then he gave the Lord worship there. |
