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:

¹Adalah seorang laki-laki, namanya Elkana, dari suku Efraim. Ia tinggal di kota Rama, di daerah pegunungan Efraim. Elkana adalah anak Yeroham dan cucu Elihu. Ia tergolong keluarga Tohu, cabang dari marga Zuf.

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.

²Elkana mempunyai dua istri, Hana dan Penina. Penina mempunyai anak, tetapi Hana tidak.

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.

³Setiap tahun Elkana pergi dari Rama untuk beribadat di Silo dan mempersembahkan kurban kepada TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa. Yang menjadi imam TUHAN di Silo ialah Hofni dan Pinehas, anak-anak Eli.

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

⁴Setiap kali jika Elkana mempersembahkan kurban, Penina dan semua anaknya masing-masing diberinya sebagian dari daging kurban itu.

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

⁵Tetapi Hana diberinya sebagian saja sebab TUHAN tidak memberi anak kepadanya. Meskipun begitu Elkana sangat mencintai Hana.

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

⁶Hana selalu disakiti hatinya dan dihina oleh Penina, madunya itu, karena TUHAN tidak memberi anak kepadanya.

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.

⁷Hal itu terjadi dari tahun ke tahun; kalau mereka pergi ke Rumah TUHAN, selalu Hana disakiti hatinya oleh Penina. Seringkali Hana menangis dan tidak mau makan karena ia dihina.

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?

⁸Lalu setiap kali pula Elkana, suaminya, bertanya, "Mengapa kau menangis Hana? Mengapa kau tak mau makan dan terus sedih saja? Bukankah aku lebih berharga bagimu daripada sepuluh anak laki-laki?"

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.

⁹Pada suatu hari sesudah mereka makan di Rumah TUHAN di Silo, Hana bangkit dari meja makan. Saat itu Imam Eli yang juga ada di Rumah TUHAN, sedang duduk di kursinya dekat pintu. Dengan sangat sedih Hana berdoa kepada TUHAN sambil menangis tersedu-sedu.

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

¹⁰(1:9)

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.

¹¹Kemudian Hana mengucapkan janji, katanya, "TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa, perhatikanlah hamba-Mu ini! Lihatlah sengsara hamba. Ingatlah kepada hamba dan jangan lupakan hamba! Jika Engkau memberikan kepada hamba seorang anak laki-laki, hamba berjanji akan memberikan dia kepada-Mu seumur hidupnya. Hamba berjanji juga bahwa rambutnya tidak pernah akan dipotong."

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

¹²Lama sekali Hana berdoa, dan Eli memperhatikan mulut wanita itu.

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

¹³Hana berdoa dalam hati, jadi hanya bibirnya yang komat-kamit, tetapi suaranya tidak terdengar. Sebab itu ia disangka mabuk oleh Eli.

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

¹⁴Maka Eli pun berkata kepadanya, "Masakan kau mabuk di sini! Jangan minum anggur lagi!"

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.

¹⁵Tetapi Hana menjawab, "Aku tidak mabuk, Pak, aku sama sekali tidak minum anggur! Aku putus asa, dan sedang berdoa menceritakan segala penderitaanku kepada TUHAN.

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

¹⁶Janganlah aku ini dianggap perempuan jalang. Aku berdoa seperti ini karena aku sangat sedih."

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

¹⁷Lalu kata Eli, "Kalau begitu pulanglah dengan selamat. Semoga Allah Israel mengabulkan permintaanmu."

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].

¹⁸Jawab Hana, "Semoga aku mendapat restu Bapak." Kemudian ia pergi, lalu makan; dan ia tidak sedih lagi.

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.

¹⁹Keesokan harinya Elkana dan keluarganya bangun pagi-pagi, dan setelah beribadat kepada TUHAN, pulanglah mereka ke Rama. Maka Elkana bersetubuh dengan Hana, istrinya itu, dan TUHAN mengabulkan doa Hana.

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.

²⁰Wanita itu hamil dan melahirkan anak laki-laki. Ia menamakannya Samuel, katanya, "Aku telah memintanya dari TUHAN."

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

²¹Tibalah waktunya Elkana dan keluarganya pergi ke Silo lagi untuk mempersembahkan kurban tahunan kepada TUHAN. Selain itu Elkana telah berjanji untuk mempersembahkan kurban yang khusus.

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.

²²Tetapi kali ini Hana tidak ikut. Katanya kepada suaminya, "Nanti setelah disapih, Samuel akan kuantarkan ke Rumah TUHAN, dan ia akan tinggal di sana seumur hidupnya."

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.

²³Jawab Elkana, "Baiklah, lakukanlah apa yang kaupandang baik; tinggallah di rumah sampai tiba waktunya engkau menyapih anak kita. Dan semoga TUHAN membuat janjimu menjadi kenyataan." Jadi, Hana tinggal di rumah sampai tiba waktunya anaknya disapih.

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.

²⁴Sesudah Samuel disapih, ia diantarkan ibunya ke Rumah TUHAN di Silo. Pada waktu itu ia masih sangat kecil. Hana membawa pula seekor sapi jantan yang berumur tiga tahun, gandum sepuluh kilogram, dan sebuah kantong kulit yang penuh berisi anggur.

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

²⁵Sapi itu dipotong, lalu Samuel diantarkan kepada Eli.

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

²⁶Hana berkata kepada Eli, "Maaf, Pak. Masih ingatkah Bapak kepadaku? Aku ini wanita yang pernah Bapak lihat berdiri di sini, sedang berdoa kepada TUHAN.

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

²⁷Anak inilah yang kuminta dari TUHAN. Doaku telah dikabulkan,

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

²⁸dan karena itu anak ini kuserahkan untuk menjadi milik TUHAN seumur hidupnya." Setelah itu mereka beribadat kepada TUHAN.
