1: And prayed,H6419 HannahH2584 and said,H0559 rejoicesH5970 My heartH3820 in Yahweh,H3068 is exaltedH7311 My hornH7161 in Yahweh,H3068 I smileH7337 my mouthH6310 atH5921 my enemies-H0341 becauseH3588 I rejoiceH8055 in Your salvation.H3444

2: No oneH0369 is holyH6918 like Yahweh,H3068 forH3588 [there is] noneH0369 besides YouH1115 and [there is] noH0369 rockH6697 like our God.H0430

3: NoH0408 moreH7235 TalkH1696 highH1364 high-H1364 let comeH3318 no arroganceH6277 from your mouth-H6310 forH3588 the GodH0410 of knowledge,H1844 Yahweh [is]H3068 and by HimH3808 are weighedH8505 actions.H5949

4: The bowsH7198 of the mighty menH1368 [are] broken,H2844 and those who stumbledH3782 are girded withH0247 strength.H2428

5: [Those who were] fullH7649 for bread-H3899 have hired themselves outH7936 and the hungryH7457 have ceased [to hunger]-H2308 EvenH5704 the barrenH6135 has borneH3205 seven-H7651 and she who has manyH7227 childrenH1121 has become feeble.H0535

6: YahwehH3068 kills,H4191 and makes alive-H2421 He brings downH3381 to the grave,H7585 and brings up.H5927

7: YahwehH3068 makes poor,H3423 and makes rich-H6238 He brings low,H8213 andH0637 lifts up.H7311

8: He raisesH6965 from the dust,H6083 the poorH1800 from the ash heap,H0830 [And] liftsH7311 the needyH0034 to set [them]H3427 amongH5973 princes,H5081 and the throneH3678 of glory-H3519 make them inheritH5157 forH3588 of Yahweh,H3068 the pillarsH4690 of the earth [are]H0776 and He has setH7896 upon themH5921 the world.H8398

9: The feetH7272 His saints,H2623 He will guardH8104 but the wickedH7563 in darkness-H2822 shall be silentH1826 forH3588 noH3808 by strengthH3581 shall prevailH1396 man.H0376

10: YahwehH3068 shall be broken in piecesH5181 the adversaries ofH7378 against themH5921 from heavenH8064 He will thunderH7481 YahwehH3068 will judgeH1777 the endsH0657 of the earth-H0776 and He will giveH5414 strengthH5797 to His king,H4428 and exaltH7311 the hornH7161 of His anointed.H4899

11: And wentH1980 ElkanahH0511 at RamahH7414 toH5921 his house.H1004 But the childH5288 didH1961 ministeredH8334 toH0853 YahwehH3068 -H0853 beforeH6440 EliH5941 the priest.H3548

12: Now the sonsH1121 of EliH5941 sonsH1121 [were] corrupt-H1100 notH3808 they did knowH3045 -H0853 Yahweh.H3068

13: And customH4941 the priests'H3548 withH0854 the peopleH5971 [was that] when anyH3605 manH0376 offeredH2076 a sacrifice,H2077 and would come,H0935 servantH5288 of the priestH3548 while was boiling,H1310 the meatH1320 and with a fleshhookH4207 [with] threeH7969 prongsH8127 in his hand-H3027

14: and he would thrust [it]H5221 into the pan,H3595 orH0176 kettle,H1731 orH0176 caldron,H7037 orH0176 pot-H6517 allH3605 thatH0834 brought upH5927 the fleshhookH4207 would takeH3947 and the priestH3548 soH3602 they didH6213 to allH3605 IsraelH3478 who cameH0935 thereH8033 in Shiloh.H7887

15: AlsoH1571 beforeH2962 they burnedH6999 -H0853 the fat,H2459 and would come,H0935 servantH5288 of the priestH3548 and sayH0559 to the manH0376 who sacrificed,H2076 GiveH5414 meatH1320 for roastingH6740 to the priest-H3548 for notH3808 he will takeH3947 from youH4480 meatH1320 boiledH1310 forH3588 butH0518 raw.H2416

16: And [if] saidH0559 to himH0413 the manH0376 reallyH6999 they should burnH6999 first,H3117 the fatH2459 and [then] you may takeH3947 [as much] asH0834 desiresH8378 your heartH5315 then he would answerH0559 [No] butH3588 now-H6258 you must give [it]H5414 and if notH0518 not,H3808 I will take [it]H3947 by force.H2394

17: Therefore wasH1961 the sinH2403 of the young menH5288 greatH1419 veryH3966 -H0853 beforeH6440 Yahweh,H3068 forH3588 abhorredH5006 menH0582 -H0853 the offeringH4503 of Yahweh.H3068

18: But SamuelH8050 ministeredH8334 -H0853 beforeH6440 Yahweh,H3068 [even as] a child,H5288 wearingH2296 ephodH0646 a linen.H0906

19: Moreover a robe,H4598 littleH6996 used to makeH6213 his motherH0517 and bring [it]H5927 year byH3117 yearH3117 when she came upH5927 withH0854 her husbandH0376 to offerH2076 -H0853 sacrificeH2077 the yearly.H3117

20: And would blessH1288 EliH5941 -H0853 ElkanahH0511 andH0853 his wife,H0802 and say,H0559 giveH7760 YahwehH3068 descendantsH2233 fromH4480 womanH0802 thisH2063 forH8478 the loanH7596 thatH0834 was givenH7592 to YahwehH3068 and they would goH1980 to their own home.H4725

21: AndH3588 visitedH6485 YahwehH3068 -H0853 Hannah,H2584 so that she conceived,H2029 and boreH3205 threeH7969 sonsH1121 and twoH8147 daughters.H1323 And Meanwhile grewH1431 the childH5288 SamuelH8050 beforeH5973 Yahweh.H3068

22: Now EliH5941 was old,H2204 veryH3966 and he heardH8085 -H0853 allH3605 everythingH0834 didH6213 his sonsH1121 to allH3605 Israel-H3478 andH0853 howH0834 they layH7901 withH0854 the womenH0802 who assembledH6633 at the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH0168 of meeting.H4150

23: So he saidH0559 whyH4100 do you doH6213 things?H1697 theseH0428 forH0834 IH0595 hearH8085 ofH0853 your dealingsH1697 evilH7451 fromH0853 allH3605 peopleH5971 these.H0428

24: No,H0408 my sons-H1121 forH3588 [it is] notH3808 goodH2896 a reportH8052 thatH0834 IH0595 hear-H8085 You make transgressH5674 peopleH5971 of Yahweh.H3068

25: IfH0518 sinsH2398 one manH0376 against another,H0376 and will judge himH6419 GodH0430 but ifH0518 against Yahweh,H3068 sinsH2398 a manH0376 whoH4310 will intercedeH6419 and nevertheless notH3808 they did heedH8085 the voiceH6963 of their father,H0001 becauseH3588 desiredH2654 YahwehH3068 to kill them.H4191

26: And the childH5288 SamuelH8050 grewH1980 and grew in stature,H1432 and in favorH2896 bothH1571 withH5973 Yahweh,H3068 andH1571 withH5973 men.H0376

27: And cameH0935 a manH0376 of GodH0430 toH0413 Eli,H5941 and saidH0559 to himH0413 thusH3541 saysH0559 Yahweh:,H3068 did clearlyH1540 I not reveal MyselfH1540 toH0413 the houseH1004 of your father,H0001 when they wereH1961 in EgyptH4714 in houseH1004 of Pharaoh?H6547

28: and did I not chooseH0977 himH0853 out of allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 priest,H3548 to offerH5927 uponH5921 My altar,H4196 to burnH6999 incense,H7004 and to wearH5375 an ephodH0646 before MeH6440 and did I not giveH5414 to the houseH1004 of your fatherH0001 -H0853 allH3605 the offerings made by fire ofH0801 the sonsH1121 of Israel?H3478

29: whyH4100 do you kickH1163 at My sacrificeH2077 and My offering,H4503 whichH0834 I have commandedH6680 [in My] dwelling place-H4583 and honorH3513 -H0853 your sonsH1121 more than MeH4480 to make yourselves fatH1254 with the bestH7225 of allH3605 the offeringsH4503 of IsraelH3478 My people?H5971

30: thereforeH3651 says,H5002 YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of IsraelH3478 indeedH0559 I said [that]H0559 your house,H1004 and the houseH1004 of your father,H0001 would walkH1980 before MeH6440 forH5704 ever-H5769 but nowH6258 says,H5002 YahwehH3068 Far be itH2486 forH3588 those who honor MeH3513 I will honor,H3513 and those who despise MeH0959 shall be lightly esteemed.H7043

31: Behold,H2009 the daysH3117 are coming,H0935 that I will cut offH1438 -H0853 your arm,H2220 andH0853 the armH2220 of house,H1004 of your fatherH0001 so that there will not beH1961 an old manH2205 in your house.H1004

32: And you will seeH5027 an enemyH6862 [in My] dwelling place,H4583 [despite] all the goodH3605 whichH0834 God does forH3190 -H0853 Israel-H3478 and notH3808 there shall beH1961 an old manH2205 in your houseH1004 allH3605 forever.H3117

33: But any menH0376 notH3808 [whom] I do cut offH3772 fromH5973 My altar,H4196 shall consumeH3615 -H0853 your eyes,H5869 and grieveH0109 -H0853 your heart-H5315 and allH3605 the descendantsH4768 of your houseH1004 shall dieH4191 in the flower of their age.H0376

34: And thisH2088 [shall be] a signH0226 thatH0834 will comeH0935 uponH0413 twoH8147 your sons,H1121 onH0413 HophniH2652 and Phinehas-H6372 in dayH3117 oneH0259 shall dieH4191 the two of them.H8147

35: And I will raise upH6965 a priest,H3548 faithfulH0539 according to what [is]H0834 in My heartH3824 and in My mind-H5315 [who] shall doH6213 and I will buildH1129 a house-H1004 sureH0539 and he shall walkH1980 beforeH6440 My anointedH4899 allH3605 forever.H3117

36: And it shall come to pass that,H1961 everyoneH3605 who is leftH3498 in your houseH1004 will comeH0935 [and] bow downH7812 for a pieceH0095 of silverH3701 and a morselH3603 of bread,H3899 and say,H0559 put meH5596 please,H4994 inH0413 oneH0259 of the priestly positions,H3550 that I may eatH0398 a pieceH6595 of bread.H3899
