¹And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.

¹Ja Hanna palvetas ning ütles: 'Mu süda rõõmutseb Issandas, Issandas üleneb mu sarv kõrgele. Mu suu on laialt lahti mu vaenlaste vastu, sest ma olen rõõmus sinu abi pärast.

²There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.

²Ükski pole nii püha kui Issand, sest ei ole muud kui sina, ükski pole kalju nagu meie Jumal.

³Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

³Ärge rääkige üha nii kõrgilt ärgu tulgu ülbust teie suudest! Sest Issand on kõikteadja Jumal ja tema uurib tegusid.

⁴The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.

⁴Kangelaste ammud murtakse katki, aga komistajad vöötavad endid jõuga.

⁵They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.

⁵Küllastunud kauplevad endid leiva eest, aga näljastel lõpeb nälg. Sigimatu sünnitab seitse last, aga lasterikas närbub.

⁶The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.

⁶Issand surmab ja teeb elavaks, viib alla hauda ja toob jälle üles.

⁷The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.

⁷Issand teeb vaeseks ja teeb rikkaks, tema alandab, aga ülendab ka.

⁸He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and he hath set the world upon them.

⁸Tema tõstab tähtsusetu põrmust, tema ülendab viletsa tuhaasemelt, pannes neid istuma õilsate juurde ja lastes neid pärida aujärgi. Sest Issanda päralt on maa toed ja nende peale on ta seadnud maailma.

⁹He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.

⁹Tema hoiab oma vagade jalgu, aga õelad peavad pimeduses vaikima, sest ükski ei saa võimust omast jõust.

¹⁰The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.

¹⁰Issanda vastu riidlejad kohkuvad, taevast müristab Kõigekõrgem. Issand mõistab kohut maailma äärtele, annab rammu oma kuningale ja ülendab oma võitu sarve.'

¹¹And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the LORD before Eli the priest.

¹¹Siis Elkana läks koju Raamasse, aga poiss teenis Issandat preester Eeli juhatusel.

¹²Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.

¹²Aga Eeli pojad olid kõlvatud, nad ei tahtnud tunnustada Issandat

¹³And the priest's custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand;

¹³ega seda, mis preestril oli õigus rahvalt saada. Iga kord, kui keegi ohvrit ohverdas, tuli preestri sulane liha keetmise ajal, kolmeharuline kahvel käes,

¹⁴And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither.

¹⁴ja pistis selle katlasse või keedupotti või patta või anumasse - kõik, mis kahvel üles tõi, võttis preester enesele; nõnda talitasid nad kõigi Iisraeli lastega, kes tulid sinna Siilosse.

¹⁵Also before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw.

¹⁵Nõndasamuti tuli enne rasva põletamist preestri sulane ja ütles mehele, kes ohverdas: 'Anna liha preestrile küpsetamiseks! Sest tema ei taha sinult keedetud liha, vaid tahab toorest.'

¹⁶And if any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, Nay; but thou shalt give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force.

¹⁶Kui mees temale ütles: 'Põletatagu enne rasv, nagu peab põletama, ja võta siis enesele, nagu su hing himustab!', siis ta vastas: 'Anna aga nüüd! Ja kui mitte, siis ma võtan vägisi!'

¹⁷Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.

¹⁷Seepärast oli noorte meeste patt Issanda ees väga suur, sest inimesed hakkasid Issanda roaohvrit halvustama.

¹⁸But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.

¹⁸Aga Saamuel teenis Issanda ees, kuigi oli nooruke, riietatud linasesse õlarüüsse.

¹⁹Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.

¹⁹Ja ta ema valmistas temale väikese ülekuue ning viis selle temale igal aastal, kui ta läks oma mehega iga-aastast ohvrit ohverdama.

²⁰And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went unto their own home.

²⁰Ja Eeli õnnistas Elkanat ja tema naist ning ütles: 'Issand andku sulle sellest naisest järeltulijaid palutu asemele, kelle ta oli palunud Issandale!' Siis nad läksid taas oma kodupaika.

²¹And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.

²¹Ja Issand kandis hoolt Hanna eest, nii et ta jäi lapseootele ja tõi ilmale veel kolm poega ja kaks tütart. Aga poiss Saamuel kasvas üles Issanda juures.

²²Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

²²Eeli oli aga väga vana ja pidi kuulma kõike, mida ta pojad tegid kogu Iisraelile ja kuidas nad magasid naistega, kes olid teenistuses kogudusetelgi juures.

²³And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.

²³Ta ütles neile: 'Miks te teete niisuguseid asju, neid halbu asju, millest ma kogu sellelt rahvalt kuulen?

²⁴Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD's people to transgress.

²⁴Ei, mitte nõnda, mu pojad! Ei ole head need kuuldused, mida ma kuulen Issanda rahvast levitavat.

²⁵If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them.

²⁵Kui inimene teeb pattu inimese vastu, siis on Jumal temale vahemeheks; aga kui inimene teeb pattu Jumala vastu, kes võiks siis olla temale vahemeheks?' Aga nemad ei kuulanud oma isa häält, sest Issand soovis neid surmata.

²⁶And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favor both with the LORD, and also with men.

²⁶Aga poiss Saamuel edenes kasvus ja meeldivuses niihästi Issanda kui inimeste juures.

²⁷And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?

²⁷Ja Eeli juurde tuli üks jumalamees ning ütles temale: 'Nõnda ütleb Issand: Eks ma ole ennast su isa soole selgesti ilmutanud, kui nad alles olid Egiptuses vaarao koja võimuses?

²⁸And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?

²⁸Mina valisin tema kõigist Iisraeli suguharudest enesele preestriks, et ta ohverdaks mu altaril, põletaks suitsutusrohtu, kannaks mu palge ees õlarüüd; ja ma andsin su isa soole kõik Iisraeli laste tuleohvrid.

²⁹Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honorest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?

²⁹Mispärast te halvustate mu tapa- ja roaohvreid, mis ma oma elamus olen seadnud? Sa austad oma poegi rohkem kui mind, et te endid nuumate parimaga kõigist mu Iisraeli rahva roaohvreist!

³⁰Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honor me I will honor, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

³⁰Sellepärast ütleb Issand, Iisraeli Jumal: Mina olen tõesti öelnud: Sinu sugu ja su isa sugu peavad igavesti elama minu ees! Aga nüüd ütleb Issand: Jäägu see minust kaugele! Sest kes austab mind, seda austan mina, ja kes mind põlgab, saab põlatavaks.

³¹Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house.

³¹Vaata, päevad tulevad ja ma raiun ära sinu käsivarre ja su isa soo käsivarre, nõnda et ükski su soos ei ela vanaks.

³²And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever.

³²Ja sa saad näha mu elamut kitsikuses, kõige selle eest, mis ta Iisraelile head pidi tegema. Ja ükski su soos ei ela iial vanaks.

³³And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age.

³³Aga ma ei hävita sul mitte kõiki oma altari juurest, et mitte kustutada su silmi ja rammestada su hinge, kuid enamik sinu soost peab surema meheeas!

³⁴And this shall be a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.

³⁴Ja sulle olgu tähiseks see, mis juhtub su mõlema pojaga, Hofni ja Piinehasiga: mõlemad surevad samal päeval!

³⁵And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever.

³⁵Aga ma lasen enesele tõusta ühe ustava preestri, kes teeb mu südame ja hinge järgi; ja mina ehitan temale kindla koja, et ta saaks alaliselt elada mu võitu ees.

³⁶And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thine house shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.

³⁶Ja igaüks, kes su soost järele jääb, tuleb teda kummardama hõbetüki ja leivakakukese pärast ning ütleb: 'Võta mind ometi mõnesse preestriteenistusse, et saaksin süüa palukese leiba!''
