¹Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim, of the hill-country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite:

¹Oli keegi mees, efratlane, Raamataim-Soofimist Efraimi mäestikust, Elkana nimi, Jerohami poeg, kes oli Elihu poeg, kes oli Tohu poeg, kes oli Suufi poeg.

²and he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.

²Temal oli kaks naist: ühe nimi oli Hanna ja teise nimi oli Peninna; Peninnal oli lapsi, aga Hanna oli lasteta.

³And this man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice unto Jehovah of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests unto Jehovah, were there.

³See mees läks igal aastal oma linnast kummardama ja ohverdama vägede Issandale Siilos; seal olid Issanda preestriteks kaks Eeli poega, Hofni ja Piinehas.

⁴And when the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:

⁴Ohverdamispäeval andis Elkana oma naisele Peninnale ja kõigile ta poegadele ja tütardele ohvrilihatükke.

⁵but unto Hannah he gave a double portion; for he loved Hannah, but Jehovah had shut up her womb.

⁵Aga Hannale andis ta ühe nähtava osa, sest ta armastas Hannat, kuigi Issand oli sulgenud tema lapsekoja.

⁶And her rival provoked her sore, to make her fret, because Jehovah had shut up her womb.

⁶Ja teine naine, Peninna, solvas teda ka väga, et ta tunneks ennast alandatuna, sellepärast et Issand oli sulgenud ta lapsekoja.

⁷And [as] he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of Jehovah, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.

⁷Ja nõnda sündis aastast aastasse; iga kord, kui ta läks üles Issanda kotta, solvas Peninna teda nõnda, et ta nuttis ega söönud.

⁸And Elkanah her husband said unto 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?

⁸Siis küsis temalt ta mees Elkana: 'Hanna, miks sa nutad ja miks sa ei söö? Miks su süda on kurb? Kas ma pole sulle parem kui kümme poega?'

⁹So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest was sitting upon his seat by the door-post of the temple of Jehovah.

⁹Ükskord pärast söömist ja joomist Siilos, kui preester Eeli istus istmel Issanda templi uksesamba juures, tõusis Hanna üles,

¹⁰And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto Jehovah, and wept sore.

¹⁰ja olles hinges kibestunud, palvetas ta Issanda poole ja nuttis väga.

¹¹And she vowed a vow, and said, O Jehovah of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thy handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thy handmaid, but wilt give unto thy handmaid a man-child, then I will give him unto Jehovah all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.

¹¹Ja ta andis tõotuse ning ütles: 'Vägede Issand, kui sa tõesti vaatad oma teenija viletsusele ja mõtled minule ega unusta oma teenijat, vaid annad oma teenijale meessoost järglase, siis ma annan tema Issandale kogu ta eluajaks ja habemenuga ei puuduta ta pead!'

¹²And it came to pass, as she continued praying before Jehovah, that Eli marked her mouth.

¹²Ja kui ta nõnda Issanda ees kaua palvetas, pani Eeli tähele ta suud,

¹³Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.

¹³sest Hanna kõneles südames, üksnes ta huuled liikusid ja ta häält ei olnud kuulda; aga Eeli arvas, et ta oli joobnud.

¹⁴And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.

¹⁴Ja Eeli ütles temale: 'Kui kaua sa tahad olla joobnud? Lase enesest vein haihtuda!'

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

¹⁵Aga Hanna vastas ning ütles: 'Ei, mu isand, ma olen vaimult rõhutud naine; veini ega vägijooki ei ole ma joonud, vaid ma olen oma hinge Issanda ees välja valanud.

¹⁶Count not thy handmaid for a wicked woman; for out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation have I spoken hitherto.

¹⁶Ära pea oma teenijat kõlvatuks naiseks, sellepärast et ma nii kaua kõnelesin oma suurtest soovidest ja meelekibedusest!'

¹⁷Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace; and the God of Israel grant thy petition that thou hast asked of him.

¹⁷Ja Eeli vastas ning ütles: 'Mine rahuga, küll Iisraeli Jumal täidab su palve, mis sa temalt palusid!'

¹⁸And she said, Let thy handmaid find favor in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat; and her countenance was no more [sad].

¹⁸Ja tema ütles: 'Leidku su teenija armu su silmis!' Siis läks naine oma teed ja sõi, ja ta nägu ei olnud enam kurb.

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

¹⁹Ja nad tõusid hommikul vara ning kummardasid Issanda ees; siis nad läksid tagasi ja jõudsid koju Raamasse; Elkana ühtis oma naise Hannaga ja Issand pidas teda meeles.

²⁰And it came to pass, when the time was come about, that Hannah conceived, and bare a son; and she called his name Samuel, [saying], Because I have asked him of Jehovah.

²⁰Ja Hanna jäi lapseootele ning pärast päevade möödumist tõi ta ilmale poja ja pani temale nimeks Saamuel. 'Sest ma palusin teda Issandalt,' ütles Hanna.

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

²¹Kui siis mees Elkana ja kogu ta pere läks Issandale ohverdama iga-aastast ohvrit ja oma tõotust,

²²But 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 Jehovah, and there abide for ever.

²²Hanna ei läinud, sest ta ütles oma mehele: 'Alles siis, kui poiss on võõrutatud, viin ma tema, et ta võiks ilmuda Issanda palge ette ja jääda sinna igavesti.'

²³And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only Jehovah establish his word. So the woman tarried and gave her son suck, until she weaned him.

²³Ja ta mees Elkana ütles temale: 'Tee, nagu su silmis hea on, jää koju, kuni sa tema oled võõrutanud; Issand ainult kinnitagu oma sõna!' Ja naine jäi koju ning imetas oma poega, kuni ta tema võõrutas.

²⁴And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of meal, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of Jehovah in Shiloh: and the child was young.

²⁴Ja ta viis tema enesega üles, kui ta tema oli võõrutanud, koos kolme härjavärsi, poole vaka jahu ja kruusi veiniga; ta viis tema Issanda kotta Siilosse, kuigi poiss oli alles nooruke.

²⁵And they slew the bullock, and brought the child to Eli.

²⁵Ja nad tapsid härjavärsi ning tõid poisi Eeli juurde.

²⁶And she said, Oh, my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto Jehovah.

²⁶Ja Hanna ütles: 'Oh, mu isand! Nii tõesti kui sa elad, mu isand, olen mina see naine, kes seisis siin su juures Issandat paludes.

²⁷For this child I prayed; and Jehovah hath given me my petition which I asked of him:

²⁷Selle poisi pärast ma palusin ja Issand andis mulle mu palve peale, mida ma temalt palusin.

²⁸therefore also I have granted him to Jehovah; as long as he liveth he is granted to Jehovah. And he worshipped Jehovah there.

²⁸Seepärast annan minagi tema Issandale: kõigiks oma elupäeviks olgu ta antud Issandale!' Ja Saamuel kummardas seal Issandat.
