¹Hannah prayed, and said: “My heart exults in Yahweh! My horn is exalted in Yahweh. My mouth is enlarged over my enemies, because I rejoice in your 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 no one as holy as Yahweh, For there is no one besides you, nor 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.

³“Talk no more so exceeding proudly. Don’t let arrogance come out of your mouth, For Yahweh is a God of knowledge. By him actions are weighed.

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

⁴“The bows of the mighty men are broken. Those who stumbled are armed with strength.

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

⁵Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread. Those who were hungry are satisfied. Yes, the barren has borne seven. She who has many children languishes.

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

⁶“Yahweh kills, and makes alive. He brings down to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. , and brings up.

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

⁷Yahweh makes poor, and makes rich. He brings low, he also lifts up.

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

⁸He raises up the poor out of the dust. He lifts up the needy from the dunghill, To make them sit with princes, and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are Yahweh’s. He has set the world on 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 holy ones, but the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness; for no man shall prevail by strength.

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

¹⁰Those who strive with Yahweh shall be broken to pieces. He will thunder against them in the sky. “Yahweh will judge the ends of the earth. He will give strength to 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.'

¹¹Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. The child served Yahweh before Eli the priest.

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

¹²Now the sons of Eli were base men; they didn’t know Yahweh.

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

¹³The custom of the priests with the people was that when any man offered sacrifice, the priest’s servant came, while the flesh was boiling, with a fork 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 fork brought up the priest took therewith. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.

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.

¹⁵Yes, before they burnt the fat, the priest’s servant came, and said to the man who sacrificed, “Give meat to roast for the priest; for he will not accept boiled meat from you, 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.'

¹⁶If the man said to him, “Let the fat be burned first, and then take as much as your soul desires”; then he would say, “No, but you shall give it to 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!'

¹⁷The sin of the young men was very great before Yahweh; for the men despised the offering of Yahweh.

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

¹⁸But Samuel ministered before Yahweh, being a child, clothed with a linen ephod.

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

¹⁹Moreover his mother made him a little robe, 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.

²⁰Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, “Yahweh give you seed of this woman for the petition which was asked of Yahweh.” They went to 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.

²¹Yahweh visited Hannah, and she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters. The child Samuel grew before Yahweh.

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 he heard all that his sons did to all Israel, and how that they lay with the women who served at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

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.

²³He said to them, “Why do you do such things? for I hear of your evil dealings from all this people.

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

²⁴No, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: you make Yahweh’s people disobey.

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

²⁵If one man sin against another, God shall judge him; but if a man sin against Yahweh, who shall entreat for him?” Notwithstanding, they didn’t listen to the voice of their father, because Yahweh intended to kill 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.

²⁶The child Samuel grew on, and increased in favor both with Yahweh, and also with men.

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

²⁷A man of God came to Eli, and said to him, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Did I reveal myself to the house of your father, when they were in Egypt in bondage to 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?

²⁸Did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? Did I give to the house of your father all the offerings of the children of Israel made by fire?

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.

²⁹Why do you kick at my sacrifice and at my offering, which I have commanded in my habitation, and honor your sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the best 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!

³⁰“Therefore Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘I said indeed that your house, and the house of your father, should walk before me forever.’ But now Yahweh says, ‘Be it far from me; for those who honor me I will honor, and those who 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 your arm, and the arm of your father’s house, that there shall not be an old man in your house.

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

³²You shall see the affliction of my habitation, in all the wealth which I shall give Israel; and there shall not be an old man in your house forever.

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

³³The man of yours, whom I shall not cut off from my altar, shall consume your eyes, and grieve your heart; and all the increase of your 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!

³⁴“‘This shall be the sign to you, that shall come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall both die.

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

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

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.

³⁶It shall happen, that everyone who is left in your house shall come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say, “Please put me into one of the priests’ offices, that I may eat a morsel 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!''
