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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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;

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

⁵but to Hannah he used to give a double portion, for he loved Hannah; but 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.

⁶And her adversary provoked her much also, to make her fret, because Jehovah had shut up her womb.

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

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.

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?'

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?

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

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;)

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

¹⁰and she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to Jehovah, and wept much.

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!'

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.

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

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

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

¹³Now Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard; and Eli thought she was drunken.

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

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

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.

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.

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

¹⁶Take not thy handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my grief and provocation have I spoken hitherto.

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

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

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

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].

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.

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.

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

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.

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

²¹And Elkanah her husband, and all his house, went up to sacrifice to Jehovah the yearly sacrifice and his vow.

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.'

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

²⁵Ja nad tapsid härjavärsi ning tõid poisi Eeli juurde.

²⁵And they slaughtered the bullock, and brought the boy to Eli.

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

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.

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

²⁷For this boy I prayed; and Jehovah has granted me my petition which I asked of him.

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

²⁸And also I have lent him to Jehovah: all the days that he lives, he is lent to Jehovah. And he worshipped Jehovah there.
