YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Now
there was
a certain man of Ramathaimzophim
, of mount
Ephraim, and his name was
Elkanah, the
son of Jeroham, the
son of Elihu, the
son of Tohu, the
son of Zuph, an
Ephrathite :
And
there is
a certain man of Ramathaim-Zophim
, of the
hill-country
of
Ephraim, and his name `is'
Elkanah, son of Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, and
Ephrathite ,
And he had
two wives ;
the name of the one was
Hannah, and the name of the other
Peninnah :
and Peninnah had
children, but
Hannah had
no children.
and he hath
two wives ,
the name of the one `is'
Hannah, and the name of the second
Peninnah ,
and Peninnah hath
children, and
Hannah hath
no children.
And this
man went
up out of his city yearly
to worship
and to sacrifice unto
the
LORD
of hosts in Shiloh .
And the
two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the
priests of
the
LORD,
were
there
.
And that
man hath
gone
up out of his city from
time
to time,
to
bow
himself,
and to sacrifice ,
before
Jehovah
of Hosts ,
in Shiloh ,
and there
`are'
two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests to
Jehovah
.
And when
the time
was
that
Elkanah offered
, he gave
to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions :
And the day
cometh,
and
Elkanah sacrificeth
, and
he hath
given
to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions ,
But
unto
Hannah he gave
a worthy
portion ;
for he loved Hannah :
but
the
LORD
had
shut up
her womb .
and
to
Hannah he giveth
a certain
portion --
double,
for he hath
loved Hannah ,
and
Jehovah
hath
shut her womb ;
And her adversary
also provoked her sore
, for
to make her fret
, because
the
LORD
had
shut up her womb.
and her adversity
hath
also provoked her greatly
, so
as
to make her tremble
, for
Jehovah
hath
shut up her womb.
And as
he
did
so year by year, when
she
went
up to
the house of the
LORD
, so she
provoked
her ;
therefore
she wept
, and did
not eat.
And so he
doth
year by year, from
the
time
of
her
going
up into
the house of Jehovah
, so it
provoketh
her ,
and
she weepeth
, and doth
not eat.
Then
said
Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest
thou not? and why is thy heart grieved
? am not
I better to thee than ten sons?
And
Elkanah her husband saith
to her, `
Hannah, why weepest thou? and why dost
thou not eat
? and why is thy heart afflicted
? am I not
better to thee than ten sons? '
So
Hannah rose
up
after they
had
eaten
in Shiloh, and after they
had
drunk.
Now
Eli the priest sat
upon
a
seat
by a
post of the temple of the
LORD
.
And
Hannah riseth
after eating
in Shiloh, and after drinking,
and
Eli the priest is
sitting
on
the
throne
by the
side-
post of the temple of Jehovah
.
And she was
in bitterness
of
soul, and prayed
unto the
LORD
, and wept
sore.
And she is
bitter
in soul, and prayeth
unto Jehovah
, and weepeth
greatly,
And she
vowed
a vow, and said
, O
LORD
of hosts, if thou wilt
indeed
look on the affliction of thine
handmaid, and remember
me, and not forget thine
handmaid, but
wilt
give
unto
thine
handmaid a
man
child,
then I will
give
him unto
the
LORD
all the
days of his life, and there
shall
no
razor come
upon his head.
and voweth
a vow, and saith
, `Jehovah
of Hosts, if Thou dost
certainly
look on the affliction of Thy
handmaid, and hast
remembered
me, and dost
not forget Thy
handmaid, and
hast
given
to
Thy
handmaid seed
of
men
--
then I have
given
him to
Jehovah
all days of his life, and a
razor doth
not
go
up
upon his head. '
And it came
to
pass
, as
she continued
praying before the
LORD
, that Eli marked
her mouth .
And it hath
been
, when
she multiplied
praying before Jehovah
, that Eli is
watching
her mouth ,
Now
Hannah, she spake
in
her heart ;
only her lips moved
, but
her voice was
not heard :
therefore
Eli thought
she
had
been
drunken.
and
Hannah, she is
speaking
to
her heart ,
only her lips are
moving
, and
her voice is
not heard ,
and
Eli reckoneth
her
to
be
drunken.
And Eli said
unto her, How
long
wilt
thou be
drunken? put
away
thy wine from thee.
And Eli saith
unto her, `Until
when
are
thou drunken? turn
aside
thy wine from thee. '
And Hannah answered
and said
, No, my lord, I
am
a woman of
a
sorrowful
spirit :
I have
drunk
neither
wine nor
strong drink ,
but
have poured
out my soul before the
LORD.
And Hannah answereth
and saith
, `
No, my lord, A woman sharply
pained
in
spirit I `am',
and
wine and
strong drink I
have not
drunk,
and
I
pour
out my soul before Jehovah;
Count
not thine
handmaid for
a daughter of Belial:
for out
of
the abundance of my complaint
and grief
have
I spoken hitherto.
put
not thy
handmaid before
a daughter of worthlessness,
for from
the abundance of my meditation,
and of
my
provocation,
I have
spoken hitherto. '
Then
Eli answered
and said
, Go in peace :
and the God of Israel grant
thee
thy petition that
thou hast asked of him.
And
Eli answereth
and saith
, `
Go in peace ,
and the God of Israel doth
give
thy petition which
thou hast asked of Him. '
And she said
, Let thine
handmaid find grace in thy
sight.
So
the woman went
her way, and did
eat
, and her countenance was
no
more
sad.
And she saith
, `
Let thy
handmaid find grace in thine
eyes;'
and
the woman goeth
on
her way, and eateth
, and her countenance hath
not
been
`
sad '
for
it
any
more
.
And they rose
up
in the morning early
, and worshipped
before the
LORD
, and returned
, and came
to
their house to
Ramah :
and Elkanah knew
Hannah his wife ;
and the
LORD
remembered
her .
And they rise
early
in the morning, and bow
themselves
before Jehovah
, and turn
back
, and come
in
unto
their house in
Ramah ,
and Elkanah knoweth
Hannah his wife ,
and Jehovah
remembereth
her ;
Wherefore
it came
to pass, when
the time
was
come
about
after
Hannah
had
conceived
, that she
bare
a son, and called
his name Samuel, saying
, Because
I have asked him of
the
LORD
.
and
it cometh
to pass, at
the revolution
of
the
days
, that Hannah
conceiveth,
and
beareth
a son, and calleth
his name Samuel, `for
, from
Jehovah
I have asked him. '
And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went
up
to offer
unto
the
LORD
the yearly
sacrifice, and his vow.
And the man Elkanah goeth
up
, and all his house, to sacrifice
to
Jehovah
the sacrifice of
the
days
, and his vow.
But
Hannah went
not up ;
for she said unto
her husband, I
will
not
go
up
until
the child
be
weaned ,
and
then I will
bring
him, that
he may
appear
before the LORD
, and there abide
for
ever
.
And
Hannah hath
not gone
up ,
for she said to
her husband, `Till
the youth
is
weaned --
then I have
brought
him in
, and
he hath
appeared
before the face
of
Jehovah
, and dwelt
there --
unto
the
age
. '
And Elkanah her husband said
unto
her, Do what
seemeth
thee
good; tarry
until
thou
have
weaned
him; only the
LORD
establish his word .
So
the woman abode,
and gave
her son suck
until
she weaned him .
And Elkanah her husband saith
to
her, `
Do that
which
is
good in
thine
eyes
; abide
till
thy
weaning
him; only ,
Jehovah
establish His word ;'
and
the woman abideth
and suckleth
her son till
she hath
weaned him ,
And when
she had
weaned
him,
she
took
him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought
him unto
the house of the
LORD
in
Shiloh :
and the child
was
young
.
and she causeth
him to
go
up with her when
she
hath
weaned
him
, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and she
bringeth
him into
the house of Jehovah
at
Shiloh ,
and the youth
`is
but'
a
youth
.
And they slew
a
bullock, and brought
the child
to
Eli .
And they slaughter
the
bullock, and bring
in
the youth
unto
Eli ,
And she said
, Oh
my lord, as
thy soul liveth ,
my lord, I am the woman that
stood by
thee here
, praying
unto the
LORD.
and she saith
, `O,
my lord, thy soul liveth !
my lord, I `
am '
the woman who
stood with
thee in
this
`place'
, to
pray
unto Jehovah;
For this child
I prayed ;
and the
LORD
hath
given
me my petition which I asked of him :
for this youth
I prayed ,
and Jehovah
doth
give
to
me my petition which I asked of Him ;
Therefore
also I have lent
him to the LORD;
as
long
as
he liveth
he shall
be
lent
to
the
LORD.
And he worshipped
the
LORD
there.
and
also I have caused
him to be
asked
for
Jehovah,
all
the days
that
he hath
lived
--
he is
asked
for
Jehovah;'
and he boweth
himself
there before
Jehovah
.
