New International Version NIV
21 The man Elkanah and all his household went up to offer to the Lord the yearly sacrifice, and to pay his vow.
21
When her husband Elkanah went up with all his family to offer the annual sacrifice to the LORD and to fulfill his vow,
22 But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, "As soon as the child is weaned, I will bring him, that he may appear in the presence of the Lord, and remain there forever; I will offer him as a nazirite for all time."
22
Hannah did not go. She said to her husband, “After the boy is weaned, I will take him and present him before the LORD, and he will live there always.”
23 Her husband Elkanah said to her, "Do what seems best to you, wait until you have weaned him; only—may the Lord establish his word." So the woman remained and nursed her son, until she weaned him.
23
“Do what seems best to you,” her husband Elkanah told her. “Stay here until you have weaned him; only may the LORD make good his word.” So the woman stayed at home and nursed her son until she had weaned him.
24 When she had weaned him, she took him up with her, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine. She brought him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh; and the child was young.
24
After he was weaned, she took the boy with her, young as he was, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour and a skin of wine, and brought him to the house of the LORD at Shiloh.
25 Then they slaughtered the bull, and they brought the child to Eli.
25
When the bull had been sacrificed, they brought the boy to Eli,
26 And she said, "Oh, my lord! As you live, my lord, I am the woman who was standing here in your presence, praying to the Lord.
26
and she said to him, “Pardon me, my lord. As surely as you live, I am the woman who stood here beside you praying to the LORD.
27 For this child I prayed; and the Lord has granted me the petition that I made to him.
27
I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him.
28 Therefore I have lent him to the Lord; as long as he lives, he is given to the Lord." She left him there for the Lord.
28
So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD.” And he worshiped the LORD there.
