1And there was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite.
1[] Ητο δε ανθρωπος τις εκ Ραμαθαιμ-σοφιμ, εκ του ορους Εφραιμ, και το ονομα αυτου Ελκανα, υιος του Ιεροαμ, υιου Ελιου, υιου Θοου, υιου Σουφ, Εφραθαιος.
2And 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.
2Και ειχεν ουτος δυο γυναικας· το ονομα της μιας Αννα, και το ονομα της δευτερας Φενιννα· η μεν Φενιννα ειχε τεκνα, η δε Αννα δεν ειχε τεκνα.
3And this man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to Jehovah of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of Jehovah, were there.
3Ανεβαινε δε ο ανθρωπος ουτος εκ της πολεως αυτου κατ' ετος, δια να προσκυνηση και να προσφερη θυσιαν προς τον Κυριον των δυναμεων εν Σηλω. Και ησαν εκει οι δυο υιοι του Ηλει, Οφνει και Φινεες, ιερεις του Κυριου.
4And it came to pass on the day that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and her daughters portions;
4Εφθασε δε η ημερα, καθ' ην εθυσιασεν ο Ελκανα και εδωκε μεριδας εις την Φενινναν την γυναικα αυτου και εις παντας τους υιους αυτης και τας θυγατερας αυτης.
5but to Hannah he used to give a double portion, for he loved Hannah; but Jehovah had shut up her womb.
5εις δε την Ανναν εδωκε διπλασιαν μεριδα· διοτι ηγαπα την Ανναν· αλλ' ο Κυριος ειχε κλεισει την μητραν αυτης.
6And her adversary provoked her much also, to make her fret, because Jehovah had shut up her womb.
6Και η αντιζηλος αυτης παρωξυνεν αυτην σφοδρα, ωστε να καμνη αυτην να αδημονη, οτι ο Κυριος ειχε κλεισει την μητραν αυτης.
7And [as] he did so year by year, as often as she went up to the house of Jehovah, she provoked her thus; and she wept and did not eat.
7Και ουτως εκαμνε κατ' ετος· οσακις ανεβαινεν εις τον οικον του Κυριου, ουτω παρωξυνεν αυτην· και εκεινη εκλαιε και δεν ετρωγεν.
8And Elkanah her husband said to 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?
8Ειπε δε προς αυτην Ελκανα ο ανηρ αυτης, Αννα, δια τι κλαιεις; και δια τι δεν τρωγεις; και δια τι η καρδια σου ειναι τεθλιμμενη; δεν ειμαι εγω εις σε καλητερος παρα δεκα υιους;
9And Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk; (now Eli the priest sat upon the seat by the door-post of the temple of Jehovah;)
9[] Και εσηκωθη η Αννα, αφου εφαγον εν Σηλω και αφου επιον· ο δε Ηλει ο ιερευς εκαθητο επι καθεδρας, πλησιον του παραστατου της πυλης του ναου του Κυριου.
10and she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to Jehovah, and wept much.
10Και αυτη ητο καταπικραμενη την ψυχην και προσηυχετο εις τον Κυριον, κλαιουσα καθ' υπερβολην.
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 to Jehovah all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.
11Και ηυχηθη ευχην, λεγουσα, Κυριε των δυναμεων, εαν επιβλεψης τωοντι εις την ταπεινωσιν της δουλης σου και με ενθυμηθης και δεν λησμονησης την δουλην σου, αλλα δωσης εις την δουλην σου τεκνον αρσενικον, τοτε θελω δωσει αυτο εις τον Κυριον πασας τας ημερας της ζωης αυτου, και ξυραφιον δεν θελει αναβη επι την κεφαλην αυτου.
12And it came to pass as she continued praying before Jehovah, that Eli marked her mouth.
12Ενω δε αυτη εξηκολουθει προσευχομενη ενωπιον του Κυριου, ο Ηλει παρετηρει το στομα αυτης.
13Now Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard; and Eli thought she was drunken.
13Πλην η Αννα αυτη ελαλει εν τη καρδια αυτης· μονον τα χειλη αυτης εκινουντο, αλλ' η φωνη αυτης δεν ηκουετο· οθεν ο Ηλει ενομισεν οτι ητο μεθυσμενη.
14And Eli said to her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.
14Και ειπε προς αυτην ο Ηλει, Εως ποτε θελεις εισθαι μεθυουσα; αποβαλε τον οινον σου απο σου.
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 have poured out my soul before Jehovah.
15Και απεκριθη η Αννα και ειπεν, Ουχι, κυριε μου, εγω ειμαι γυνη κατατεθλιμμενη την ψυχην· ουτε οινον ουτε σικερα δεν επιον, αλλ' εξεχεα την ψυχην μου ενωπιον του Κυριου·
16Take not thy handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my grief and provocation have I spoken hitherto.
16μη υπολαβης την δουλην σου ως αχρειαν γυναικα· διοτι εκ του πληθους του πονου μου και της θλιψεως μου ελαλησα εως τωρα.
17And Eli answered and said, Go in peace; and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition which thou hast asked of him.
17Τοτε απεκριθη ο Ηλει και ειπεν, Υπαγε εις ειρηνην· και ο Θεος του Ισραηλ ας σοι δωση την αιτησιν σου, την οποιαν ητησας παρ' αυτου.
18And she said, Let thy bondwoman find grace in thy sight. And the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more [as before].
18Η δε ειπεν, Ειθε η δουλη σου να ευρη χαριν εις τους οφθαλμους σου. Τοτε απηλθεν η γυνη εις την οδον αυτης και εφαγε, και το προσωπον αυτης δεν ητο πλεον σκυθρωπον.
19And they rose up early in the morning and worshipped before Jehovah, and returned and came to their house at Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and Jehovah remembered her.
19[] Και το πρωι εσηκωθησαν ενωρις, και προσκυνησαντες ενωπιον του Κυριου, επεστρεψαν και ηλθον εις την οικιαν αυτων εις Ραμαθ. Και ο Ελκανα εγνωρισεν Ανναν την γυναικα αυτου· και ο Κυριος ενεθυμηθη αυτην.
20And it came to pass when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bore a son, and called his name Samuel, [saying,] Because I have asked him of Jehovah.
20Και οτε επληρωθησαν αι ημεραι αφοτου η Αννα συνελαβεν, εγεννησεν υιον και εκαλεσε το ονομα αυτου Σαμουηλ, Διοτι παρα Κυριου ητησα αυτον, ειπε.
21And Elkanah her husband, and all his house, went up to sacrifice to Jehovah the yearly sacrifice and his vow.
21Και ανεβη ο ανθρωπος Ελκανα και πας ο οικος αυτου, δια να προσφερη προς τον Κυριον την ετησιον θυσιαν και την ευχην αυτου.
22But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, [I will wait] until the child is weaned; then will I bring him, that he may appear before Jehovah, and there abide for ever.
22Αλλ' η Αννα δεν ανεβη· διοτι ειπε προς τον ανδρα αυτης, Δεν θελω αναβη εωσου το παιδιον απογαλακτισθη· και τοτε θελω φερει αυτο, δια να εμφανισθη ενωπιον του Κυριου και εκει να κατοικη διαπαντος.
23And Elkanah her husband said to her, Do what is good in thy sight: abide until thou hast weaned him; only, may Jehovah fulfil his word. And the woman abode, and gave her son suck until she weaned him.
23Και ειπε προς αυτην Ελκανα ο ανηρ αυτης, Καμε ο, τι σοι φαινεται καλον· καθου εωσου απογαλακτισης αυτο· μονον ο Κυριος να εκπληρωση τον λογον αυτου. Και εκαθισεν η γυνη και εθηλαζε τον υιον αυτης, εωσου απεγαλακτισεν αυτον.
24And she took him up with her when she had weaned him, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a flask of wine, and brought him to the house of Jehovah to Shiloh; and the boy was young.
24Και αφου απεγαλακτισεν αυτον, ανεβιβασεν αυτον μεθ' εαυτης, μετα τριων μοσχων και ενος εφα αλευρου και ασκου οινου, και εφερεν αυτον εις τον οικον του Κυριου εν Σηλω· το δε παιδιον ητο μικρον.
25And they slaughtered the bullock, and brought the boy to Eli.
25Και εσφαξαν τον μοσχον και εφεραν το παιδιον προς τον Ηλει.
26And she said, Oh my lord, [as] thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here to pray to Jehovah.
26Και ειπεν η Αννα, Ω, κυριε μου ζη η ψυχη σου, κυριε μου, εγω ειμαι η γυνη, ητις εσταθη ενταυθα πλησιον σου, δεομενη του Κυριου·
27For this boy I prayed; and Jehovah has granted me my petition which I asked of him.
27περι του παιδιου τουτου εδεομην· και ο Κυριος εδωκεν εις εμε την αιτησιν μου, την οποιαν ητησα παρ' αυτου·
28And also I have lent him to Jehovah: all the days that he lives, he is lent to Jehovah. And he worshipped Jehovah there.
28οθεν και εγω εδανεισα αυτο εις τον Κυριον· πασας τας ημερας της ζωης αυτου θελει εισθαι δανεισμενον εις τον Κυριον. Και προσεκυνησεν εκει τον Κυριον.
