I Samuel

1 Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim, 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.

1 ἄνθρωπος ἦν ἐξ Ἀρμαθαὶμ Σιφὰ ἐξ ὄρους Ἐφραίμ, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Ἐλκανὰ υἱὸς Ἰερεμεὴλ υἱοῦ Ἠλίου υἱοῦ Θοκὲ ἐν Νασὶβ Ἐφραίμ.	1 Ἄνθρωπος ἦν ἐξ Ἀρμαθαὶμ Σιφά, ἐξ ὄρους Ἐφραίμ, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Ἑλκανὰ υἱὸς Ἱερεμεὴλ υἱοῦ Ἠλιοὺ υἱοῦ Θοκὲ ἐν Νασὶβ Ἐφραίμ.
1 There was a man of Armathaim Sipha, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkana, a son of Jeremeēl the son of Ēlias the son of Thoke, in Nasib Ephraim.	1 There was a man of Armathaim Sipha, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Helkana, a son of Hieremeēl the son of Ēlias the son of Thoke, in Nasib Ephraim.

2 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.

2 καὶ τούτῳ δύο γυναῖκες· ὄνομα τῇ μιᾷ Ἀννά, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ δευτέρᾳ Φεννανά· καὶ ἦν τῇ Φεννανὰ παιδία, καὶ τῇ Ἀννὰ οὐκ ἦν παιδίον.	2 καὶ τούτῳ δύο γυναῖκες· ὄνομα τῇ μιᾷ Ἄννα, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ δευτέρᾳ Φεννάνα· καὶ ἦν τῇ Φεννάνᾳ παιδία, καὶ τῇ Ἄννᾳ οὐκ ἦν παιδίον.
2 And he had two wives; the name of the one was Anna, and the name of the second Fennana. And Fennana had children, but Anna had no child.	2 And he had two wives; the name of the one was Anna, and the name of the second Fennana. And Fennana had children, but Anna had no child.

3 And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice to the Yahweh of armies in Shiloh. And the two sons of Ēli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of Yahweh, were there.

3 καὶ ἀνέβαινεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ἡμερῶν εἰς ἡμέρας ἐκ πόλεως αὐτοῦ ἐξ Ἀρμαθαὶμ προσκυνεῖν καὶ θύειν τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ σαβαὼθ εἰς Σηλώ· καὶ ἐκεῖ Ἠλὶ καὶ οἱ δύο υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ Ὀφνὶ καὶ Φινεὲς ἱερεῖς τοῦ κυρίου.	3 καὶ ἀνέβαινεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ἡμερῶν εἰς ἡμέρας ἐκ πόλεως αὐτοῦ ἐξ Ἀρμαθαὶμ προσκυνεῖν καὶ θύειν Κυρίῳ τῷ Θεῷ Σαβαὼθ εἰς Σηλώ· καὶ ἐκεῖ Ἡλὶ καὶ οἱ δύο υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ Ὀφνὶ καὶ Φινεὲς ἱερεῖς τοῦ Κυρίου.
3 And the man used to go up from days to days from his city, from Armathaim, to worship and to sacrifice to the Lord God Sabaoth at Sēlō, and there Ēli and his two sons, Ophni and Phinees, were priests of the Lord.	3 And the man used to go up from days to days from his city, from Armathaim, to worship and to sacrifice to the Lord God Sabaoth at Sēlō, and there Hēli and his two sons, Ophni and Phinees, were priests of the Lord.

4 And when the time for Elkanah to offer, he gave portions to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters.

4 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἡμέρᾳ καὶ ἔθυσεν Ἐλκανὰ καὶ ἔδωκεν τῇ Φεννανὰ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτῆς καὶ ταῖς θυγατράσιν αὐτῆς μερίδας·	4 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἡμέρα καὶ ἔθυσεν Ἑλκανὰ καὶ ἔδωκε τῇ Φεννάνᾳ, γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτῆς μερίδας·
4 And it happened on a day and Elkana sacrificed and gave portions to his wife Fennana and to her sons and to her daughters;	4 And it happened on a day and Helkana sacrificed and gave portions to his wife Fennana and to her sons;

5 But to Hannah he gave a double portion; for he loved Hannah; but Yahweh had shut up her womb.

5 καὶ τῇ Ἀννὰ ἔδωκεν μερίδα μίαν, ὅτι οὐκ ἦν αὐτῇ παιδίον· πλὴν ὅτι τὴν Ἀννὰν ἠγάπα Ἐλκανὰ ὑπὲρ ταύτην, καὶ κύριος ἀπέκλεισεν τὰ περὶ τὴν μήτραν αὐτῆς·	5 καὶ τῇ Ἄννᾳ ἔδωκε μερίδα μίαν, ὅτι οὐκ ἦν αὐτῇ παιδίον, πλὴν ὅτι τὴν Ἄνναν ἠγάπα Ἑλκανὰ ὑπὲρ ταύτην. καὶ Κύριος ἀπέκλεισε τὰ περὶ τὴν μήτραν αὐτῆς,
5 and to Anna he gave one portion, because she didn't have a child; however, Elkana loved Anna more than this one, and the Lord had closed the area of her womb.	5 and to Anna he gave one portion, because she didn't have a child; however, Helkana loved Anna more than this one, and the Lord had closed the area of her womb.

6 And also her rival provoked her greatly, to discourage her, because Yahweh had shut up her womb.

6 ὅτι οὐκ ἔδωκεν αὐτῇ κύριος παιδίον κατὰ τὴν θλῖψιν αὐτῆς καὶ κατὰ τὴν ἀθυμίαν τῆς θλίψεως αὐτῆς, καὶ ἠθύμει διὰ τοῦτο, ὅτι συνέκλεισεν κύριος τὰ περὶ τὴν μήτραν αὐτῆς τοῦ μὴ δοῦναι αὐτῇ παιδίον.	6 ὅτι οὐκ ἔδωκεν αὐτῇ Κύριος παιδίον κατὰ τὴν θλῖψιν αὐτῆς καὶ κατὰ τὴν ἀθυμίαν τῆς θλίψεως αὐτῆς, καὶ ἠθύμει διὰ τοῦτο, ὅτι συνέκλεισε Κύριος τὰ περὶ τὴν μήτραν αὐτῆς τοῦ μὴ δοῦναι αὐτῇ παιδίον.
6 Because the Lord did not give her a child according to her affliction and according to the discouragement of her affliction, she was also becoming discouraged because of this, that the Lord had closed the area of her womb so as not to give her a child.	6 Because the Lord did not give her a child according to her affliction and according to the discouragement of her affliction, she was also becoming discouraged because of this, that the Lord had closed the area of her womb so as not to give her a child.

7 And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of Yahweh, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and didn’t eat.

7 οὕτως ἐποίει ἐνιαυτὸν κατ’ ἐνιαυτὸν ἐν τῷ ἀναβαίνειν αὐτὴν εἰς οἶκον κυρίου· καὶ ἠθύμει καὶ ἔκλαιεν καὶ οὐκ ἤσθιεν.	7 οὕτως ἐποίει ἐνιαυτὸν κατ’ ἐνιαυτόν, ἐν τῷ ἀναβαίνειν αὐτὴν εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου· καὶ ἠθύμει καὶ ἔκλαιε καὶ οὐκ ἤσθιε.
7 Thus she used to do year by year, when she would go up to the house of the Lord, and she would be discouraged and would weep and not eat.	7 Thus she used to do year by year, when she would go up to the house of the Lord, and she would be discouraged and would weep and not eat.

8 Then Elkanah her husband said to her, “Hannah, why do you weep? And why don’t you eat? And why is your heart grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”

8 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Ἐλκανὰ ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς Ἀννά. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ἰδοὺ ἐγώ, κύριε. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ τί ἐστίν σοι, ὅτι κλαίεις; καὶ ἵνα τί οὐκ ἐσθίεις; καὶ ἵνα τί τύπτει σὲ ἡ καρδία σου; οὐκ ἀγαθὸς ἐγώ σοί ὑπὲρ δέκα τέκνα;	8 καὶ εἶπε αὐτῇ Ἑλκανὰ ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς· Ἄννα. καὶ εἶπε αὐτῷ· ἰδοὺ ἐγώ, κύριε. καί εἶπε αὐτῇ· τί ἔστι σοι, ὅτι κλαίεις; καὶ ἱνατί οὐκ ἐσθίεις; καὶ ἱνατί τύπτει σε ἡ καρδία σου; οὐκ ἀγαθὸς ἐγώ σοι ὑπὲρ δέκα τέκνα;
8 And her husband Elkana said to her, “Anna,” and she said to him, “Here I am, sir.” And he said to her, “What is with you that you are weeping? And why don't you eat? And why does your heart smite you? Am I not good to you beyond ten children?”	8 And her husband Helkana said to her, “Anna,” and she said to him, “Here I am, sir.” And he said to her, “What is with you that you are weeping? And why don't you eat? And why does your heart smite you? Am I not good to you beyond ten children?”

9 So Hannah rose up after they had eaten and drunk in Shiloh. Now Ēli the priest sat on a seat by a post of the temple of Yahweh.

9 καὶ ἀνέστη Ἀννὰ μετὰ τὸ φαγεῖν αὐτοὺς ἐν Σηλὼ καὶ κατέστη ἐνώπιον κυρίου, καὶ Ἠλὶ ὁ ἱερεὺς ἐκάθητο ἐπὶ τοῦ δίφρου ἐπὶ τῶν φλιῶν ναοῦ κυρίου.	9 καὶ ἀνέστη Ἄννα μετὰ τὸ φαγεῖν αὐτοὺς ἐν Σηλὼ καὶ κατέστη ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, καὶ Ἡλὶ ὁ ἱερεὺς ἐκάθητο ἐπὶ τοῦ δίφρου ἐπὶ τῶν φλιῶν ναοῦ Κυρίου.
9 And after they had eaten at Sēlō, Anna rose and stood before the Lord, and Ēli the priest was sitting on the seat beside the door frame of the Lord’s temple.	9 And after they had eaten at Sēlō, Anna rose and stood before the Lord, and Hēli the priest was sitting on the seat beside the door frame of the Lord’s temple.

10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to Yahweh, and wept greatly.

10 καὶ αὐτὴ κατώδυνος ψυχῇ καὶ προσηύξατο πρὸς κύριον καὶ κλαίουσα ἔκλαυσεν	10 καὶ αὐτὴ κατώδυνος ψυχῇ καὶ προσηύξατο πρὸς Κύριον καὶ κλαίουσα ἔκλαυσε
10 And she was deeply distressed in soul and prayed to the Lord, and weeping she wept	10 And she was deeply distressed in soul and prayed to the Lord, and weeping she wept

11 And she vowed a vow, and said, “Oh Yahweh of armies, 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 no razor shall come on his head.”

11 καὶ ηὔξατο εὐχὴν κυρίῳ λέγουσα Ἀδωναὶ κύριε ἐλωαῒ σαβαώθ, ἐὰν ἐπιβλέπων ἐπιβλέψῃς ἐπὶ τὴν ταπείνωσιν τῆς δούλης σου καὶ μνησθῇς μου καὶ δῷς τῇ δούλῃ σου σπέρμα ἀνδρῶν, καὶ δώσω αὐτὸν ἐνώπιόν σου δοτὸν ἕως ἡμέρας θανάτου αὐτοῦ, καὶ οἶνον καὶ μέθυσμα οὐ πίεται, καὶ σίδηρος οὐκ ἀναβήσεται ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ.	11 καὶ ηὔξατο εὐχὴν Κυρίῳ λέγουσα· Ἀδωναῒ Κύριε Ἐλωὲ Σαβαώθ, ἐὰν ἐπιβλέπων ἐπιβλέψῃς ἐπὶ τὴν ταπείνωσιν τῆς δούλης σου καὶ μνησθῇς μου καὶ δῷς τῇ δούλῃ σου σπέρμα ἀνδρῶν, καὶ δώσω αὐτὸν ἐνώπιόν σου δοτὸν ἕως ἡμέρας θανάτου αὐτοῦ, καὶ οἶνον καὶ μέθυσμα οὐ πίεται, καὶ σίδηρος οὐκ ἀναβήσεται ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ.
11 and vowed a vow to the Lord, saying: “Adōnai, Lord, Elōai, Sabaōth, when looking you will look on the humiliation of your slave and remember me and give to your slave an offspring of men, and I will give him as one devoted before you until the day of his death, and wine and intoxicant he shall not drink, and no iron shall come on his head.”	11 and vowed a vow to the Lord, saying: “Adōnai, Lord, Elōai, Sabaōth, when looking you will look on the humiliation of your slave and remember me and give to your slave an offspring of men, and I will give him as one devoted before you until the day of his death, and wine and intoxicant he shall not drink, and no iron shall come on his head.”

12 And it happened, as she continued praying before Yahweh, that Ēli observed her mouth.

12 καὶ ἐγενήθη ὅτε ἐπλήθυνεν προσευχομένη ἐνώπιον κυρίου, καὶ Ἠλὶ ὁ ἱερεὺς ἐφύλαξεν τὸ στόμα αὐτῆς·	12 καὶ ἐγενήθη ὅτε ἐπλήθυνε προσευχομένη ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, καὶ Ἡλὶ ὁ ἱερεὺς ἐφύλαξε τὸ στόμα αὐτῆς·
12 And it happened, as she continued praying before the Lord, that Ēli the priest noticed her mouth,	12 And it happened, as she continued praying before the Lord, that Hēli the priest noticed her mouth,

13 Now Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice wasn’t heard; therefore Ēli thought she had been drinking.

13 καὶ αὐτὴ ἐλάλει ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς, καὶ τὰ χείλη αὐτῆς ἐκινεῖτο, καὶ φωνὴ αὐτῆς οὐκ ἠκούετο· καὶ ἐλογίσατο αὐτὴν Ἠλὶ εἰς μεθύουσαν.	13 καὶ αὕτη ἐλάλει ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς καὶ τὰ χείλη αὐτῆς ἐκινεῖτο, καὶ φωνὴ αὐτῆς οὐκ ἠκούετο· καὶ ἐλογίσατο αὐτὴ Ἡλὶ εἰς μεθύουσαν.
13 and she was speaking in her heart, and her lips kept moving, and her voice was not heard, and Ēli reckoned her as a drunken woman.	13 and she was speaking in her heart, and her lips kept moving, and her voice was not heard, and Hēli reckoned her as a drunken woman.

14 And Ēli said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Put your wine away from you.”

14 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ τὸ παιδάριον Ἠλὶ ἕως πότε μεθυσθήσῃ; περιελοῦ τὸν οἶνόν σου καὶ πορεύου ἐκ προσώπου κυρίου.	14 καὶ εἶπε αὐτῇ τὸ παιδάριον Ἡλί· ἕως πότε μεθυσθήσῃ; περιελοῦ τὸν οἶνόν σου καὶ πορεύου ἐκ προσώπου Κυρίου.
14 And the servant of Ēli said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Put away your wine, and go out from the presence of the Lord.”	14 And the servant of Hēli said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Put away your wine, and go out from the presence of the Lord.”

15 And Hannah answered and said, “No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor beer, but have poured out my soul before Yahweh.

15 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Ἀννὰ καὶ εἶπεν οὐχί, κύριε· γυνή, ᾗ σκληρὰ ἡμέρα, ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ οἶνον καὶ μέθυσμα οὐ πέπωκα καὶ ἐκχέω τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐνώπιον κυρίου·	15 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Ἄννα καὶ εἶπε· οὐχί, κύριε· γυνή, ᾗ σκληρὰ ἡμέρα, ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ οἶνον καὶ μέθυσμα οὐ πέπωκα καὶ ἐκχέω τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐνώπιον Κυρίου·
15 And Anna answered and said, “No, sir; I am a woman for whom this is a hard day; I have not drunk wine and intoxicant, and I am pouring out my soul before the Lord;	15 And Anna answered and said, “No, sir; I am a woman for whom this is a hard day; I have not drunk wine and intoxicant, and I am pouring out my soul before the Lord;

16 Don’t consider that your handmaid is a worthless daughter. For out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken until now.”

16 μὴ δῷς τὴν δούλην σου εἰς θυγατέρα λοιμήν, ὅτι ἐκ πλήθους ἀδολεσχίας μου ἐκτέτακα ἕως νῦν.	16 μὴ δῷς τὴν δούλην σου εἰς θυγατέρα λοιμήν, ὅτι ἐκ πλήθους ἀδολεσχίας μου ἐκτέτακα ἕως νῦν.
16 do not consider your slave as a pestilent daughter, because I have been greatly extending my mumblings until now.”	16 do not consider your slave as a pestilent daughter, because I have been greatly extending my mumblings until now.”

17 Then Ēli answered and said, “Go in peace; and may the God of Israēl grant you your petition that you have asked of him.”

17 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Ἠλὶ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ πορεύου εἰς εἰρήνην· ὁ θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ δῴη σοί πᾶν αἴτημά σου, ὃ ᾐτήσω παρ’ αὐτοῦ.	17 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Ἡλὶ καὶ εἶπε αὐτῇ· πορεύου εἰς εἰρήνην· ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ δώῃ σοι πᾶν αἴτημά σου, ὃν ᾐτήσω παρ’ αὐτοῦ.
17 And Ēli answered and said to her, “Go in peace; may the God of Israēl grant you your every request which you have requested of him.”	17 And Hēli answered and said to her, “Go in peace; may the God of Israēl grant you your every request which you have requested of him.”

18 And she said, “Let your handmaid find favour in your sight.” So the woman went her way, and ate, and her countenance was no longer sad.

18 καὶ εἶπεν εὗρεν ἡ δούλη σου χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου, καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἡ γυνὴ εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτῆς καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸ κατάλυμα αὐτῆς καὶ ἔφαγεν μετὰ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς καὶ ἔπιεν, καὶ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς οὐ συνέπεσεν ἔτι.	18 καὶ εἶπε· εὗρεν ἡ δούλη σου χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου. καὶ ἐπορεύθης ἡ γυνὴ εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτῆς καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸ κατάλυμα αὐτῆς καὶ ἔφαγε μετὰ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς καὶ ἔπιε, καὶ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς οὐ συνέπεσεν ἔτι.
18 And she said, “Your slave has found favour in your eyes.” And the woman went on her way and entered her lodgings and ate and drank with her husband, and her countenance was sad no longer.	18 And she said, “Your slave has found favour in your eyes.” And the woman went on her way and entered her lodgings and ate and drank with her husband, and her countenance was sad no longer.

19 And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before Yahweh, and returned, and came to their home in Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and Yahweh remembered her.

19 καὶ ὀρθρίζουσιν τὸ πρωῒ καὶ προσκυνοῦσιν τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ πορεύονται τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτῶν. καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἐλκανὰ εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ Ἀρμαθαὶμ καὶ ἔγνω τὴν Ἀννὰν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐμνήσθη αὐτῆς κύριος,	19 καὶ ὀρθρίζουσι τὸ πρωῒ καὶ προσκυνοῦσι τῷ Κυρίῳ καὶ πορεύονται τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτῶν. καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἑλκανὰ εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ Ἀρμαθαὶμ καὶ ἔγνω τὴν Ἄνναν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐμνήσθη αὐτῆς Κύριος, καὶ συνέλαβε.
19 And they rose early in the morning and worshipped the Lord and went their way. And Elkana entered into his home at Armathaim, and he knew his wife Anna, and the Lord remembered her,	19 And they rose early in the morning and worshipped the Lord and went their way. And Helkana entered into his home at Armathaim, and he knew his wife Anna, and the Lord remembered her,

20 Therefore it happened, when the time came about after Hannah had conceived, that she gave birth to a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked him of Yahweh.”

20 καὶ συνέλαβεν, καὶ ἐγενήθη τῷ καιρῷ τῶν ἡμερῶν καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱόν· καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Σαμουὴλ καὶ εἶπεν ὅτι παρὰ κυρίου θεοῦ σαβαὼθ ᾐτησάμην αὐτόν.	20 καὶ ἐγενήθη τῷ καιρῷ τῶν ἡμερῶν καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱόν· καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Σαμουὴλ καὶ εἶπε· ὅτι παρὰ Κυρίου Θεοῦ Σαβαὼθ ᾐτησάμην αὐτόν.
20 and she conceived. And it happened at the season of days[1] that she gave birth to a son, and she called his name Samouēl, and she said, “Because I have requested him of the Lord God Sabaoth.”	20 and she conceived. And it happened at the season of days[1] that she gave birth to a son, and she called his name Samouēl, and she said, “Because I have requested him of the Lord God Sabaoth.”

21 And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to Yahweh the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.

21 καὶ ἀνέβη ὁ ἄνθρωπος Ἐλκανὰ καὶ πᾶς ὁ οἶκος αὐτοῦ θῦσαι ἐν Σηλὼμ τὴν θυσίαν τῶν ἡμερῶν καὶ τὰς εὐχὰς αὐτοῦ καὶ πάσας τὰς δεκάτας τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ·	21 Καὶ ἀνέβη ὁ ἄνθρωπος Ἑλκανὰ καὶ πᾶς ὁ οἶκος αὐτοῦ θῦσαι ἐν Σηλὼμ τὴν θυσίαν τῶν ἡμερῶν καὶ τὰς εὐχὰς αὐτοῦ καὶ πάσας τὰς δεκάτας τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ·
21 And the man Elkana and all his household went up to offer in Sēlōm the sacrifice of the days and his vows and all the tithes of his land,	21 And the man Helkana and all his household went up to offer in Sēlōm the sacrifice of the days and his vows and all the tithes of his land,

22 But Hannah didn’t go up; for she said to her husband, “I won’t go up until the child is weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before Yahweh, and there abide forever.”

22 καὶ Ἀννὰ οὐκ ἀνέβη μετ’ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι εἶπεν τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς ἕως τοῦ ἀναβῆναι τὸ παιδάριον, ἐὰν ἀπογαλακτίσω αὐτό, καὶ ὀφθήσεται τῷ προσώπῳ κυρίου καὶ καθήσεται ἐκεῖ ἕως αἰῶνος.	22 καὶ Ἄννα οὐκ ἀνέβη μετ’ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι εἶπε τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς· ἕως τοῦ ἀναβῆναι τὸ παιδάριον, ἐὰν ἀπογαλακτίσω αὐτό, καὶ ὀφθήσεται τῷ προσώπῳ Κυρίου καὶ καθήσεται ἕως αἰῶνος ἐκεῖ.
22 and Anna did not go up with him, because she said to her husband, “Until the boy goes up when I shall wean it, and it will appear to the face of the Lord and stay there forever.”	22 and Anna did not go up with him, because she said to her husband, “Until the boy goes up when I shall wean it, and it will appear to the face of the Lord and stay there forever.”

23 And Elkanah her husband said to her, “Do what seems good to you. Stay until you have weaned him; only may Yahweh establish his word.” So the woman stayed, and nursed her son until she weaned him.

23 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Ἐλκανὰ ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς ποίει τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου· κάθου, ἕως ἄν ἀπογαλακτίσῃς αὐτό· ἀλλὰ στήσαι κύριος τὸ ἐξελθὸν ἐκ τοῦ στόματός σου. καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἡ γυνὴ καὶ ἐθήλασεν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς, ἕως ἄν ἀπογαλακτίσῃ αὐτόν.	23 καὶ εἶπε αὐτῇ Ἑλκανὰ ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς· ποίει τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου, κάθου ἕως ἄν ἀπογαλακτίσῃς αὐτό· ἀλλὰ στήσαι Κύριος τὸ ἐξελθὸν ἐκ τοῦ στόματός σου. καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἡ γυνὴ καὶ ἐθήλασε τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς, ἕως ἄν ἀπογαλακτίσῃ αὐτόν.
23 And her husband Elkana said to her, “Do what is good in your eyes; stay until you have weaned him; but may the Lord establish the thing that goes out of your mouth.” And the woman remained and nursed her son until she weaned him.	23 And her husband Elkana said to her, “Do what is good in your eyes; stay until you have weaned him; but may the Lord establish the thing that goes out of your mouth.” And the woman remained and nursed her son until she weaned him.

24 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 to the house of Yahweh in Shiloh. The child was young.

24 καὶ ἀνέβη μετ’ αὐτοῦ εἰς Σηλὼμ ἐν μόσχῳ τριετίζοντι καὶ ἄρτοις καὶ οἰφὶ σεμιδάλεως καὶ νεβελ οἴνου καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς οἶκον κυρίου ἐν Σηλώμ, καὶ τὸ παιδάριον μετ’ αὐτῶν.	24 καὶ ἀνέβη μετ’ αὐτοῦ εἰς Σηλὼμ ἐν μόσχῳ τριετίζοντι καὶ ἄρτοις καὶ οἰφὶ σεμιδάλεως καὶ νέβελ οἴνου καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου ἐν Σηλώμ, καὶ τὸ παιδάριον μετ’ αὐτῶν.
24 And she went up with him to Sēlōm with a three-year-old calf and bread and an ephah of flour and a bottle of wine, and she entered into the house of the Lord at Sēlōm, and the boy was with them.	24 And she went up with him to Sēlōm with a three-year-old calf and bread and an ephah of flour and a bottle of wine, and she entered into the house of the Lord at Sēlōm, and the boy was with them.

25 And they killed a bullock, and brought the child to Ēli.

25 καὶ προσήγαγον ἐνώπιον κυρίου, καὶ ἔσφαξεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ τὴν θυσίαν, ἣν ἐποίει ἐξ ἡμερῶν εἰς ἡμέρας τῷ κυρίῳ, καὶ προσήγαγεν τὸ παιδάριον καὶ ἔσφαξεν τὸν μόσχον. καὶ προσήγαγεν Ἀννὰ ἡ μήτηρ τοῦ παιδαρίου πρὸς Ἠλὶ	25 καὶ προσήγαγον ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, καὶ ἔσφαξεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ τὴν θυσίαν, ἣν ἐποίει ἐξ ἡμερῶν εἰς ἡμέρας τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ προσήγαγε τὸ παιδάριον καὶ ἔσφαξε τὸν μόσχον. καὶ προσήγαγεν Ἄννα ἡ μήτηρ τοῦ παιδίου πρὸς Ἡλὶ
25 And they brought him before the Lord, and his father slaughtered the sacrifice that he used to do from days to days to the Lord, and he brought the boy near and slaughtered the calf. And Anna, the mother of the child, brought him to Ēli	25 And they brought him before the Lord, and his father slaughtered the sacrifice that he used to do from days to days to the Lord, and he brought the boy near and slaughtered the calf. And Anna, the mother of the child, brought him to Hēli

26 And she said, “Oh my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to Yahweh.

26 καὶ εἶπεν· ἐν ἐμοί, κύριε· ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου, ἐγὼ ἡ γυνὴ ἡ καταστᾶσα ἐνώπιόν σου ἐν τῷ προσεύξασθαι πρὸς κύριον·	26 καὶ εἶπε· ἐν ἐμοί, κύριε· ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου, ἐγὼ ἡ γυνὴ ἡ καταστᾶσα ἐνώπιόν σου μετὰ σοῦ ἐν τῷ προσεύξασθαι πρὸς Κύριον·
26 and said, “By me, sir! Your soul lives, I am the woman who stood before you when praying to the Lord;	26 and said, “By me, sir! Your soul lives, I am the woman who stood before you when praying to the Lord;

27 For I prayed for this child; and Yahweh has given me my petition which I asked of him.

27 ὑπὲρ τοῦ παιδαρίου τούτου προσηυξάμην, καὶ ἔδωκέν μοι κύριος τὸ αἴτημά μου, ὃ ᾐτησάμην παρ’ αὐτοῦ·	27 ὑπὲρ τοῦ παιδαρίου τούτου προσηυξάμην, καὶ ἔδωκέ μοι Κύριος τὸ αἴτημά μου, ὃν ᾐτησάμην παρ’ αὐτοῦ·
27 for this boy I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my request that I requested of him.	27 for this boy I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my request that I requested of him.

28 Therefore also I have dedicated him to Yahweh. As long as he lives, he shall be dedicated to Yahweh.” And he worshipped Yahweh there.

28 κἀγὼ κιχρῶ αὐτὸν τῷ κυρίῳ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας, ἃς ζῇ αὐτός, χρῆσιν τῷ κυρίῳ.	28 κἀγὼ κιχρῶ αὐτὸν τῷ Κυρίῳ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας, ἃς ζῇ αὐτός, χρῆσιν τῷ Κυρίῳ. Καὶ εἶπε.
28 And I lend him to the Lord all his days, which he lives, a use for the Lord.”	28 And I lend him to the Lord all his days, which he lives, a use for the Lord.” And she said,
