1 Samuel 1

English Standard Version ESV

1 There was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim of the hill country of Ephraim whose name was Elkanah the son of Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, an Ephrathite.

2 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.

3 Now this man used to go up year by year from his city to worship and to sacrifice to the Lord of hosts at Shiloh, where the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests of the Lord.

4 On the day when Elkanah sacrificed, he would give portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and daughters.

5 But to Hannah he gave a double portion, because he loved her, though the Lord had closed her womb.

6 And her rival used to provoke her grievously to irritate her, because the Lord had closed her womb.

7 So it went on year by year. As often as she went up to the house of the Lord, she used to provoke her. Therefore Hannah wept and would not eat.

8 And Elkanah, her husband, said to her, “Hannah, why do you weep? And why do you not eat? And why is your heart sad? Am I not more to you than ten sons? ”

9 After they had eaten and drunk in Shiloh, Hannah rose. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat beside the doorpost of the temple of the Lord.

10 She was deeply distressed and prayed to the Lord and wept bitterly.

11 And she vowed a vow and said, “O Lord of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your servant and remember me and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a son, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall touch his head. ”

12 As she continued praying before the Lord, Eli observed her mouth.

13 Hannah was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved, and her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli took her to be a drunken woman.

14 And Eli said to her, “How long will you go on being drunk? Put your wine away from you. ”

15 But Hannah answered, “No, my lord, I am a woman troubled in spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have been pouring out my soul before the Lord.

16 Do not regard your servant as a worthless woman, for all along I have been speaking out of my great anxiety and vexation. ”

17 Then Eli answered, “Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition that you have made to him. ”

18 And she said, “Let your servant find favor in your eyes. ” Then the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.

19 They rose early in the morning and worshiped before the Lord; then they went back to their house at Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the Lord remembered her.

20 And in due time Hannah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Samuel, for she said, “I have asked for him from the Lord. ”

21 The man Elkanah and all his house went up to offer to the Lord the yearly sacrifice and to pay 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, so that he may appear in the presence of the Lord and dwell there forever. ”

23 Elkanah her husband 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.

24 And 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, and she brought him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh. And the child was young.

25 Then they slaughtered the bull, and they brought the child 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.

27 For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition that I made to him.

28 Therefore I have lent him to the Lord. As long as he lives, he is lent to the Lord. ” And he worshiped the Lord there.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 fuit vir unus de Ramathaimsophim de monte Ephraim et nomen eius Helcana filius Hieroam filii Heliu filii Thau filii Suph Ephratheus

2 et habuit duas uxores nomen uni Anna et nomen secundae Fenenna fueruntque Fenennae filii Annae autem non erant liberi

3 et ascendebat vir ille de civitate sua statutis diebus ut adoraret et sacrificaret Domino exercituum in Silo erant autem ibi duo filii Heli Ofni et Finees sacerdotes Domini

4 venit ergo dies et immolavit Helcana deditque Fenennae uxori suae et cunctis filiis eius et filiabus partes

5 Annae autem dedit partem unam tristis quia Annam diligebat Dominus autem concluserat vulvam eius

6 adfligebat quoque eam aemula eius et vehementer angebat in tantum ut exprobraret quod conclusisset Dominus vulvam eius

7 sicque faciebat per singulos annos cum redeunte tempore ascenderent templum Domini et sic provocabat eam porro illa flebat et non capiebat cibum

8 dixit ergo ei Helcana vir suus Anna cur fles et quare non comedis et quam ob rem adfligitur cor tuum numquid non ego melior sum tibi quam decem filii

9 surrexit autem Anna postquam comederat in Silo et biberat et Heli sacerdote sedente super sellam ante postes templi Domini

10 cum esset amaro animo oravit Dominum flens largiter

11 et votum vovit dicens Domine exercituum si respiciens videris adflictionem famulae tuae et recordatus mei fueris nec oblitus ancillae tuae dederisque servae tuae sexum virilem dabo eum Domino omnes dies vitae eius et novacula non ascendet super caput eius

12 factum est ergo cum illa multiplicaret preces coram Domino ut Heli observaret os eius

13 porro Anna loquebatur in corde suo tantumque labia illius movebantur et vox penitus non audiebatur aestimavit igitur eam Heli temulentam

14 dixitque ei usquequo ebria eris digere paulisper vinum quo mades

15 respondens Anna nequaquam inquit domine mi nam mulier infelix nimis ego sum vinumque et omne quod inebriare potest non bibi sed effudi animam meam in conspectu Domini

16 ne reputes ancillam tuam quasi unam de filiabus Belial quia ex multitudine doloris et maeroris mei locuta sum usque in praesens

17 tunc Heli ait ei vade in pace et Deus Israhel det tibi petitionem quam rogasti eum

18 et illa dixit utinam inveniat ancilla tua gratiam in oculis tuis et abiit mulier in viam suam et comedit vultusque eius non sunt amplius in diversa mutati

19 et surrexerunt mane et adoraverunt coram Domino reversique sunt et venerunt in domum suam Ramatha cognovit autem Helcana Annam uxorem suam et recordatus est eius Dominus

20 et factum est post circulum dierum concepit Anna et peperit filium vocavitque nomen eius Samuhel eo quod a Domino postulasset eum

21 ascendit autem vir Helcana et omnis domus eius ut immolaret Domino hostiam sollemnem et votum suum

22 et Anna non ascendit dixit enim viro suo non vadam donec ablactetur infans et ducam eum et appareat ante conspectum Domini et maneat ibi iugiter

23 et ait ei Helcana vir suus fac quod bonum tibi videtur et mane donec ablactes eum precorque ut impleat Dominus verbum suum mansit ergo mulier et lactavit filium suum donec amoveret eum a lacte

24 et adduxit eum secum postquam ablactaverat in vitulis tribus et tribus modiis farinae et amphora vini et adduxit eum ad domum Domini in Silo puer autem erat adhuc infantulus

25 et immolaverunt vitulum et obtulerunt puerum Heli

26 et ait obsecro mi domine vivit anima tua domine ego sum illa mulier quae steti coram te hic orans Dominum

27 pro puero isto oravi et dedit Dominus mihi petitionem meam quam postulavi eum

28 idcirco et ego commodavi eum Domino cunctis diebus quibus fuerit accommodatus Domino et adoraverunt ibi Dominum et oravit Anna et ait
