1: Now there wasH1961 manH0376 aH0259 ofH4480 Zophim,H7436 of the mountainsH2022 of Ephraim,H0669 and his name [was]H8034 Elkanah,H0511 the sonH1121 of Jeroham,H3395 the sonH1121 of Elihu,H0453 the sonH1121 of Tohu,H8459 the sonH1121 of Zuph,H6689 an Ephraimite.H0673 twoH8147 wives-H0802 the nameH8034 of the oneH0259 [was] Hannah,H2584 and the nameH8034 of the secondH8145 Peninnah-H6444 and hadH1961 PeninnahH6444 children,H3206 but HannahH2584 had noH0369 children.H3206

3: And went upH5927 manH0376 thatH1931 from his cityH5892 yearlyH3117 yearlyH3117 to worshipH7812 and sacrificeH2076 to YahwehH3068 of hostsH6635 in Shiloh.H7887 And [were] there.H8033 The twoH8147 sonsH1121 of Eli,H5941 HophniH2652 and Phinehas,H6372 the priestsH3548 of Yahweh,H3068

4: and whenever cameH1961 the timeH3117 for to make an offering,H2076 ElkanahH0511 and he would giveH5414 to PeninnahH6444 his wife,H0802 and to allH3605 her sonsH1121 and daughters,H1323 portions-H4490

5: but to HannahH2584 he would giveH5414 portion-H4490 aH0259 doubleH0639 forH3588 -H0853 Hannah,H2584 he lovedH0157 although YahwehH3068 had closedH5462 her womb.H7358

6: And provoked herH3707 her rivalH6869 alsoH1571 severely,H3708 toH5668 make her miserable,H7481 becauseH3588 had closedH5462 YahwehH3068 had shut up herH1157 her womb.H7358

7: SoH3651 it wasH6213 yearH8141 by year,H8141 whenH1767 she went upH5927 to the houseH1004 of Yahweh,H3068 thatH3651 she provoked herH3707 therefore she wept,H1058 and notH3808 did eat.H0398

8: And saidH0559 ElkanahH0511 her husbandH0376 Hannah,H2584 whyH4100 do you weepH1058 and whyH4100 not?H3808 do you eatH0398 and whyH4100 is grievedH3415 your heartH3824 [am] notH3808 IH0595 betterH2896 than tenH6235 sons?H1121

9: so aroseH6965 HannahH2584 afterH0310 they had finished eatingH0398 in Shiloh,H7887 andH0310 drinking.H8354 Now EliH5941 the priestH3548 was sittingH3427 onH5921 the seatH3678 byH5921 the doorpostH4201 of the templeH1964 of Yahweh.H3068

10: And she [was]H1931 in bitternessH4751 of soul,H5315 and prayedH6419 toH5921 Yahweh,H3068 and in anguishH1058 wept.H1058

11: And she madeH5087 a vow,H5088 and said,H0559 YahwehH3068 of hosts,H6635 ifH0518 indeedH7200 You will lookH7200 on the afflictionH6040 of Your maidservant,H0519 and remember meH2142 and notH3808 forgetH7911 -H0853 Your maidservant,H0519 but will giveH5414 Your maidservantH0519 a child,H2233 maleH0376 then I will give himH5414 to YahwehH3068 allH3605 the daysH3117 of his life,H2416 and razorH4177 noH3808 shall comeH5927 uponH5921 his head.H7218

12: And it came to pass,H1961 asH3588 she continuedH7235 prayingH6419 beforeH6440 Yahweh,H3068 that EliH5941 watchedH8104 -H0853 her mouth.H6310

13: And Hannah,H2584 sheH1931 spokeH1696 inH5921 her heart-H3820 onlyH7535 her lipsH8193 moved,H5128 but her voiceH6963 notH3808 was heard.H8085 Therefore thoughtH2803 EliH5941 was drunk.H7910

14: So saidH0559 to herH0413 EliH5941 howH5704 longH4970 will you be drunk?H7937 Put awayH5493 -H0853 your wineH3196 from you.H5921

15: And answeredH6030 HannahH2584 and said,H0559 No,H3808 my lord,H0113 I [am] a womanH0802 of sorrowfulH7186 spirit-H7307 IH0595 and neither wineH3196 nor drink,H7941 intoxicatingH3808 have drunkH8354 but have poured outH8210 -H0853 my soulH5315 beforeH6440 Yahweh.H3068

16: NotH0408 do considerH5414 -H0853 your maidservantH0519 before the face ofH6440 a womanH1323 wickedH1100 forH3588 out of the abundanceH7230 of my anguishH7879 and griefH3708 have I spokenH1696 until nowH5704 until now.H2008

17: And answeredH6030 EliH5941 and said,H0559 goH1980 in peace-H7965 and the GodH0430 of IsraelH3478 grantH5414 -H0853 your petitionH7596 whichH0834 you have askedH7592 of Him.H5973

18: And she said,H0559 let findH4672 your maidservantH8198 favorH2580 in your sight.H5869 So wentH1980 the womanH0802 her way,H1870 and ate,H0398 and her faceH6440 noH3808 was [sad]H1961 longer.H5750

19: And they rose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 and worshipedH7812 beforeH6440 Yahweh,H3068 and returned,H7725 and cameH0935 toH0413 their houseH1004 at Ramah.H7414 And knewH3045 ElkanahH0511 -H0853 HannahH2584 his wife-H0802 and remembered herH2142 Yahweh.H3068

20: So it came to pass,H1961 in processH8622 of the timeH3117 that conceived,H2029 HannahH2584 and boreH3205 a son,H1121 and calledH7121 -H0853 his nameH8034 Samuel,H8050 [saying] becauseH3588 from YahwehH3068 I have asked for him.H7592

21: And went upH5927 the manH0376 Elkanah,H0511 and allH3605 his house,H1004 to offerH2076 to YahwehH3068 -H0853 sacrifice,H2077 the yearlyH3117 andH0853 his vow.H5088

22: But HannahH2584 notH3808 did go up-H5927 forH3588 she saidH0559 to her husband,H0376 [Not] untilH5704 is weaned,H1580 the childH5288 then I will take himH0935 that he may appearH7200 -H0853 beforeH6440 Yahweh,H3068 and remainH3427 thereH8033 even toH5704 forever.H5769

23: And saidH0559 ElkanahH0511 her husbandH0376 doH6213 what seems best-H2896 to youH5869 waitH3427 untilH5704 you have weanedH1580 himH0853 onlyH0389 let establishH6965 YahwehH3068 -H0853 His word.H1697 So stayed,H3427 the womanH0802 and nursedH3243 -H0853 her sonH1121 untilH5704 she had weanedH1580 him.H0853

24: And she took him upH5927 with herH5973 whenH0834 she had weaned himH1580 with bulls,H6499 threeH7969 and ephahH0374 of oneH0259 flour,H7058 and a skinH5035 of wine,H3196 and brought himH0935 to the houseH1004 of YahwehH3068 in Shiloh,H7887 and the childH5288 [was] young.H5288

25: And theyH7819 slaughteredH0853 a bull,H6499 and broughtH0935 -H0853 the childH5288 toH0413 Eli.H5941

26: And she said,H0559 OhH0994 my lord,H0113 as lives,H2416 your soulH5315 my lord,H0113 I [am]H0589 the womanH0802 who stoodH5324 by youH5973 in this [place],H2088 prayingH6419 toH0413 Yahweh.H3068

27: ForH0413 childH5288 thisH2088 I prayed-H6419 and has grantedH5414 YahwehH3068 -H0853 my petitionH7596 whichH0834 I askedH7592 of Him.H5973

28: Therefore alsoH1571 IH0595 have lent himH7592 to Yahweh-H3068 as long asH3605 he livesH3117 whichH0834 he livesH1961 heH1931 shall be lentH7592 to YahwehH3068 so they worshipedH7812 there.H8033 Yahweh.H3068
