撒母耳记上 1
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
撒母耳的出生
1 有一个以法莲人名叫以利加拿,住在以法莲山区的拉玛·琐非城。他是苏弗的玄孙、托户的曾孙、以利户的孙子、耶罗罕的儿子。 2 他有两个妻子,一个叫哈娜,一个叫毗尼娜。毗尼娜有儿有女,哈娜却无儿无女。
3 以利加拿每年都从家乡到示罗去敬拜万军之耶和华,献上祭物。当时以利的两个儿子何弗尼和非尼哈在那里做耶和华的祭司。 4 每当献完祭后,以利加拿就会把祭肉分给毗尼娜和她的儿女。 5 但他会给哈娜双份祭肉,因为他爱哈娜,虽然耶和华使她不能生育。 6 毗尼娜见她不能生育,便常常羞辱她、气她。 7 每年来到耶和华的殿时,毗尼娜总是惹她伤心哭泣,以致她吃不下饭。 8 她的丈夫以利加拿对她说:“哈娜,你为什么哭?为什么不吃饭?为什么心里难过?有我不是比有十个儿子更好吗?”
9 一天,他们在示罗吃完饭后,哈娜起来祷告。当时,祭司以利正坐在耶和华殿门口的座位上。 10 哈娜心中愁苦,一边祷告一边伤心地哭泣。 11 她向上帝许愿说:“万军之耶和华啊,如果你眷顾婢女的痛苦,不忘记婢女,赐给婢女一个儿子,我必让他终生事奉你,永不剃他的头[a]。” 12 哈娜在耶和华面前祷告,以利注视着她的嘴唇。 13 哈娜在心中默祷,只动嘴唇,不出声音,以利以为她喝醉了, 14 便对她说:“你要醉到什么时候呢?醒醒酒吧!” 15 哈娜答道:“我主啊,我没有喝醉,我淡酒和烈酒都没有喝。我是心里非常愁苦,在耶和华面前倾诉心事。 16 请不要以为我是堕落的女人,我心中非常悲伤痛苦,所以一直在祷告。” 17 以利说:“你安心地回去吧,愿以色列的上帝答应你的祈求。” 18 哈娜说:“谢谢你恩待婢女。”于是,她就去吃饭,不再愁容满面了。
19 第二天,以利加拿一家清早起来敬拜耶和华,然后回到自己的家乡拉玛。以利加拿与哈娜同房,耶和华顾念哈娜, 20 使她怀孕。她后来生了一个儿子,给孩子取名叫撒母耳,因为她说:“他是我向耶和华求来的。”
21 第二年,以利加拿带全家人前往示罗,向耶和华献年祭并还所许的愿。 22 哈娜没有跟他们同去,她告诉丈夫说:“孩子断奶以后,我会把他带去献给耶和华,让他永远住在那里。” 23 以利加拿说:“就依你的意思吧。愿耶和华成就祂的应许。”于是,她就留在家中哺养孩子,直到孩子断奶。 24 孩子断奶以后,她就把他带到示罗耶和华的殿,并带去三头公牛、十公斤面粉和一袋酒。 25 他们宰了一头公牛后,就把孩子带到以利面前。 26 哈娜说:“我主啊,我敢在你面前起誓,我就是那一次站在你这里向耶和华祈求的妇人。 27 我求耶和华赐给我一个孩子,祂应允了我的祈求。 28 现在,我将他献给耶和华,让他终身事奉耶和华。”
他便在那里敬拜耶和华。
1 Samuel 1
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Kapanganakan ni Samuel
1 May isang lalaking mula sa angkan ni Zuf na ang pangalan ay Elkana. Nakatira siya sa Rama, sa maburol na lupain ng Efraim. Anak siya ni Jeroham na anak ni Elihu. Si Elihu ay anak naman ni Tohu na anak ni Zuf, na mula sa lahi ni Efraim. 2 Si Elkana ay may dalawang asawa. Sila ay sina Hanna at Penina. May mga anak si Penina pero si Hanna ay wala.
3 Taun-taon, pumupunta si Elkana at ang sambahayan niya sa Shilo upang sumamba at maghandog sa Panginoong Makapangyarihan. Ang dalawang anak ni Eli na sina Hofni at Finehas ang mga pari ng Panginoon sa Shilo. 4 Sa tuwing maghahandog si Elkana, hinahati niya ang ibang bahagi ng kanyang handog para kay Penina at sa mga anak niya. 5 Pero doble ang bahagi na ibinibigay niya kay Hanna dahil mahal niya ito kahit hindi siya nagkakaanak, dahil ginawa siyang baog ng Dios. 6 At dahil hindi nga siya magkaanak, lagi siyang iniinis at hinihiya ni Penina na kanyang karibal. 7 Ganito ang laging nangyayari taun-taon. Sa tuwing pupunta si Hanna sa bahay ng Panginoon, iniinis siya ni Penina hanggang sa umiyak na lang siya at hindi na kumain. 8 Sinasabi ni Elkana sa kanya, “Bakit ka umiiyak? Bakit ayaw mong kumain? Bakit ka malungkot? Mas mahalaga ba para sa iyo ang sampung anak kaysa sa akin?”
9-10 Minsan, pagkatapos nilang kumain sa bahay ng Panginoon sa Shilo, tumayo si Hanna at nanalangin nang umiiyak dahil sa labis na kalungkutan. Nakaupo noon ang pari na si Eli sa may pintuan ng bahay ng Panginoon.[a] 11 Nangako si Hanna sa Panginoon. Sinabi niya, “O Panginoong Makapangyarihan, tingnan po ninyo ang aking paghihirap. Alalahanin ninyo ang inyong lingkod at huwag ninyo akong kalimutan. Kung bibigyan nʼyo po ako ng isang anak na lalaki, ihahandog ko siya sa inyo para maglingkod sa inyo sa buong buhay niya. At bilang tanda nang lubos niyang pagsunod sa inyo, hindi ko po pagugupitan ang kanyang buhok.”
12-13 Habang patuloy siyang nananalangin sa Panginoon, nakita ni Eli na bumubuka ang bibig ni Hanna pero hindi naririnig ang kanyang boses. Inakala ni Eli na lasing si Hanna, 14 kaya sinabi niya sa kanya, “Hanggang kailan ka maglalasing? Tigilan mo na ang pag-inom!” 15 Sumagot si Hanna, “Hindi po ako lasing, at hindi po ako nakainom ng kahit anong klase ng inumin. Ibinubuhos ko lang po sa Panginoon ang paghihirap na aking nararamdaman. 16 Huwag po ninyong isipin na masama akong babae. Nananalangin po ako rito dahil sa labis na kalungkutan.”
17 Sinabi ni Eli, “Sige, umuwi kang mapayapa. Sanaʼy ipagkaloob ng Dios ng Israel ang hinihiling mo sa kanya.” 18 Sumagot si Hanna, “Salamat po sa kabutihan ninyo sa akin.” Pagkatapos ay umalis na siya at kumain, at nawala na ang lungkot sa kanyang mukha.
19 Kinabukasan, maagang bumangon si Elkana at ang kanyang pamilya, at silaʼy sumamba sa Panginoon. Pagkatapos ay umuwi sila sa bahay nila sa Rama. Sinipingan ni Elkana si Hanna at sinagot ng Panginoon ang panalangin ni Hanna na bigyan siya ng anak. 20 At dumating ang panahon na nagbuntis siya at nanganak ng isang lalaki. Pinangalanan niya itong Samuel,[b] dahil sinabi niya, “Hiningi ko siya sa Panginoon.”
Inihandog ni Hanna si Samuel
21 Muling dumating ang panahon na si Elkana at ang buo niyang pamilya ay maghahandog sa Panginoon gaya ng ginagawa nila taun-taon. Ito rin ang panahon na maghahandog siya bilang pagtupad sa panata niya sa Panginoon. 22 Pero hindi sumama si Hanna. Sinabi niya sa kanyang asawa, “Kapag naawat na ang sanggol sa pagsuso sa akin, dadalhin ko siya sa bahay ng Panginoon para ihandog sa kanya. Doon na siya titira sa buong buhay niya.” 23 Sumagot si Elkana, “Gawin mo kung ano ang sa tingin moʼy mabuti. Dito ka na lang muna hanggang sa maawat mo na ang sanggol. Tulungan ka sana ng Panginoon na matupad ang ipinangako mo sa kanya.” Kaya nagpaiwan si Hanna at inalagaan ang kanyang anak.
24 Nang maawat na ang bata, dinala siya ni Hanna sa bahay ng Panginoon sa Shilo. Nagdala rin siya ng tatlong taong gulang na toro, kalahating sako ng harina at katas ng ubas na nakalagay sa balat na sisidlan. 25 Matapos katayin ang toro, dinala nila si Samuel kay Eli. 26 Sinabi ni Hanna kay Eli, “Kung natatandaan nʼyo po, ako ang babaeng tumayo rito noon na nanalangin sa Panginoon. 27 Hiningi ko po ang batang ito sa Panginoon at ibinigay niya ang kahilingan ko. 28 Kaya ngayon, ihahandog ko po siya sa Panginoon. Maglilingkod po ang batang ito sa Panginoon sa buong buhay niya.” Pagkatapos ay sumamba sila sa[c] Panginoon.
1 Samuel 1
King James Version
1 Now there was a certain man of Ramathaimzophim, 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:
2 And 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.
3 And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the Lord of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the Lord, were there.
4 And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:
5 But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the Lord had shut up her womb.
6 And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the Lord had shut up her womb.
7 And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the Lord, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.
8 Then said Elkanah her husband 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?
9 So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the Lord.
10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the Lord, and wept sore.
11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O Lord of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the Lord all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.
12 And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the Lord, that Eli marked her mouth.
13 Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.
14 And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.
15 And 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 the Lord.
16 Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.
17 Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him.
18 And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad.
19 And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the Lord, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the Lord remembered her.
20 Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the Lord.
21 And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer unto the Lord the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.
22 But 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 the Lord, and there abide for ever.
23 And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only the Lord establish his word. So the woman abode, and gave her son suck until she weaned him.
24 And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the Lord in Shiloh: and the child was young.
25 And they slew a bullock, and brought the child to Eli.
26 And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the Lord.
27 For this child I prayed; and the Lord hath given me my petition which I asked of him:
28 Therefore also I have lent him to the Lord; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the Lord. And he worshipped the Lord there.
1 Samuel 1
New International Version
The Birth of Samuel
1 There was a certain man from Ramathaim,(A) a Zuphite[a](B) from the hill country(C) of Ephraim,(D) whose name was Elkanah(E) son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite. 2 He had two wives;(F) one was called Hannah and the other Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had none.
3 Year after year(G) this man went up from his town to worship(H) and sacrifice to the Lord Almighty at Shiloh,(I) where Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli,(J) were priests of the Lord. 4 Whenever the day came for Elkanah to sacrifice,(K) he would give portions of the meat to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters.(L) 5 But to Hannah he gave a double portion(M) because he loved her, and the Lord had closed her womb.(N) 6 Because the Lord had closed Hannah’s womb, her rival kept provoking her in order to irritate her.(O) 7 This went on year after year. Whenever Hannah went up to the house of the Lord, her rival provoked her till she wept and would not eat.(P) 8 Her husband Elkanah would say to her, “Hannah, why are you weeping? Why don’t you eat? Why are you downhearted? Don’t I mean more to you than ten sons?(Q)”
9 Once when they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh, Hannah stood up. Now Eli the priest was sitting on his chair by the doorpost of the Lord’s house.(R) 10 In her deep anguish(S) Hannah prayed to the Lord, weeping bitterly. 11 And she made a vow,(T) saying, “Lord Almighty(U), if you will only look on your servant’s misery and remember(V) me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the Lord for all the days of his life,(W) and no razor(X) will ever be used on his head.”
12 As she kept on praying to the Lord, Eli observed her mouth. 13 Hannah was praying in her heart, and her lips were moving but her voice was not heard. Eli thought she was drunk 14 and said to her, “How long are you going to stay drunk? Put away your wine.”
15 “Not so, my lord,” Hannah replied, “I am a woman who is deeply troubled.(Y) I have not been drinking wine or beer; I was pouring(Z) out my soul to the Lord. 16 Do not take your servant for a wicked woman; I have been praying here out of my great anguish and grief.”(AA)
17 Eli answered, “Go in peace,(AB) and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of him.(AC)”
18 She said, “May your servant find favor in your eyes.(AD)” Then she went her way and ate something, and her face was no longer downcast.(AE)
19 Early the next morning they arose and worshiped before the Lord and then went back to their home at Ramah.(AF) Elkanah made love to his wife Hannah, and the Lord remembered(AG) her. 20 So in the course of time Hannah became pregnant and gave birth to a son.(AH) She named(AI) him Samuel,[b](AJ) saying, “Because I asked the Lord for him.”
Hannah Dedicates Samuel
21 When her husband Elkanah went up with all his family to offer the annual(AK) sacrifice to the Lord and to fulfill his vow,(AL) 22 Hannah did not go. She said to her husband, “After the boy is weaned, I will take him and present(AM) him before the Lord, and he will live there always.”[c]
23 “Do what seems best to you,” her husband Elkanah told her. “Stay here until you have weaned him; only may the Lord make good(AN) his[d] word.” So the woman stayed at home and nursed her son until she had weaned(AO) him.
24 After he was weaned, she took the boy with her, young as he was, along with a three-year-old bull,[e](AP) an ephah[f] of flour and a skin of wine, and brought him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh. 25 When the bull had been sacrificed, they brought the boy to Eli, 26 and she said to him, “Pardon me, my lord. As surely as you live, I am the woman who stood here beside you praying to the Lord. 27 I prayed(AQ) for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him. 28 So now I give him to the Lord. For his whole life(AR) he will be given over to the Lord.” And he worshiped the Lord there.
