撒母耳记上 1
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
以利加拿和他的家眷
1 以法莲山区有一个拉玛的琐非人[a]，名叫以利加拿，他是苏弗的玄孙，托户的曾孙，以利户的孙子，耶罗罕的儿子，是以法莲人。 2 他有两个妻子：一个名叫哈拿，另一个名叫毗尼拿。毗尼拿有孩子，哈拿却没有孩子。
3 这人每年从本城上到示罗，敬拜万军之耶和华，向他献祭。在那里有以利的两个儿子何弗尼和非尼哈当耶和华的祭司。 4 每逢献祭的日子，以利加拿把祭肉分给他的妻子毗尼拿和毗尼拿所生的儿女。 5 他给哈拿的却是双分，因为他爱哈拿。耶和华却不使哈拿生育。 6 她的对头毗尼拿因耶和华不使哈拿生育，就常常惹她发怒，要使她生气。 7 年年都是如此。每当她上到耶和华殿的时候，毗尼拿就这样惹她发怒，以致她哭泣不吃饭。 8 她丈夫以利加拿对她说：“哈拿，你为何哭泣？为何不吃饭？为何伤心难过呢？有我不比有十个儿子更好吗？”
哈拿和以利
9 他们在示罗吃喝完了，哈拿就站起来。祭司以利坐在耶和华殿门框旁边的位子上。 10 哈拿心里愁苦，就痛痛哭泣，向耶和华祈祷。 11 她许愿说：“万军之耶和华啊，你若垂顾你使女的苦情，眷念不忘你的使女，赐你的使女一个子嗣，我必使他终生归给耶和华，不用剃刀剃他的头。”
12 哈拿在耶和华面前不住地祈祷，以利注意她的嘴。 13 哈拿心中默祷，只动嘴唇，听不到她的声音，因此以利以为她喝醉了。 14 以利对她说：“你要醉到几时呢？不要再喝酒了！” 15 哈拿回答说：“我主啊，不是这样。我是心里愁苦的妇人，清酒烈酒都没有喝，只在耶和华面前倾心吐意。 16 不要将你的使女看作不正经的女子。我因极其难过和生气，所以一直祷告到如今。” 17 以利回答说：“平平安安地回去吧。愿以色列的 神允准你向他所求的！” 18 哈拿说：“愿你的婢女在你眼前蒙恩。”于是妇人上路，去吃饭，脸上不再带愁容了。
撒母耳出生和奉献
19 他们清早起来，在耶和华面前敬拜，就回去，往拉玛自己的家里。以利加拿和妻子哈拿同房，耶和华顾念哈拿。 20 时候到了，哈拿怀孕生了一个儿子，给他起名叫撒母耳，说：“这是我从耶和华那里求来的。”
21 以利加拿和他全家都上去，要向耶和华献年祭和还愿祭。 22 哈拿却没有上去，因为她对丈夫说：“等孩子断了奶，我就带他上去朝见耶和华，让他永远住在那里。” 23 她丈夫以利加拿对她说：“就照你看为好的去做吧！可以留到儿子断了奶，愿耶和华应验他的话。”于是妇人留在家里乳养儿子，直到他断了奶。 24 断奶之后，她就带着孩子，连同一头三岁的公牛[b]，一伊法细面[c]，一皮袋酒，上示罗耶和华的殿去。那时，孩子还小。 25 他们宰了公牛，就领孩子到以利面前。 26 妇人说：“我主啊，请容许我说，我向你，我的主起誓，从前在你这里站着祈求耶和华的那妇人就是我。 27 我祈求为要得这孩子，耶和华已将我向他所求的赐给我了。 28 所以，我将这孩子献给耶和华，使他终生归给耶和华。”
他就在那里敬拜耶和华。
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
English Standard Version
The Birth of Samuel
1 There was a certain man of (A)Ramathaim-zophim of (B)the hill country of Ephraim whose name was Elkanah the son of Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, (C)an Ephrathite. 2 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 Now this man used to go up (D)year by year from his city (E)to worship and to sacrifice to the Lord of hosts (F)at Shiloh, where the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests of the Lord. 4 On the day when Elkanah sacrificed, (G)he would give portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and daughters. 5 But to Hannah he gave a double portion, because he loved her, though the Lord had closed her womb.[a] 6 And her rival used to provoke her grievously to irritate her, because the Lord had closed her womb. 7 So it went on year by year. As often as she went up to the house of the Lord, she used to provoke her. Therefore Hannah wept and would not eat. 8 And Elkanah, her husband, said to her, “Hannah, why do you weep? And why do you not eat? And why is your heart sad? (H)Am I not more to you than ten sons?”
9 After they had eaten and drunk in Shiloh, Hannah rose. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat beside the doorpost of (I)the temple of the Lord. 10 She was (J)deeply distressed and prayed to the Lord and wept bitterly. 11 And she (K)vowed a vow and said, “O Lord of hosts, if you will indeed (L)look on the affliction of your servant and (M)remember me and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a son, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, (N)and no razor shall touch his head.”
12 As she continued praying before the Lord, Eli observed her mouth. 13 Hannah was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved, and her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli took her to be a drunken woman. 14 And Eli said to her, “How long will you go on being drunk? Put your wine away from you.” 15 But Hannah answered, “No, my lord, I am a woman troubled in spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but (O)I have been pouring out my soul before the Lord. 16 Do not regard your servant as (P)a worthless woman, for all along I have been speaking out of my great anxiety and vexation.” 17 Then Eli answered, (Q)“Go in peace, and the God of Israel (R)grant your petition that you have made to him.” 18 And she said, (S)“Let your servant find favor in your eyes.” Then the woman (T)went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.
19 They rose early in the morning and worshiped before the Lord; then they went back to their house at (U)Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the Lord (V)remembered her. 20 And in due time Hannah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Samuel, for she said, “I have asked for him from the Lord.”[b]
Samuel Given to the Lord
21 The man Elkanah and all his house (W)went up to offer to the Lord the yearly sacrifice and to pay his vow. 22 But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, “As soon as the child is weaned, I will bring him, so that he may appear in the presence of the Lord (X)and dwell there forever.” 23 (Y)Elkanah her husband said to her, “Do what seems best to you; wait until you have weaned him; (Z)only, may the Lord establish his word.” So the woman remained and nursed her son until she weaned him. 24 And when she had weaned him, (AA)she took him up with her, along with a three-year-old bull,[c] an ephah[d] of flour, and a skin of wine, and she brought him to (AB)the house of the Lord at Shiloh. And the child was young. 25 Then they slaughtered the bull, and they brought the child to Eli. 26 And she said, “Oh, my lord! (AC)As you live, my lord, I am the woman who was standing here in your presence, praying to the Lord. 27 For this child I prayed, (AD)and the Lord has granted me my petition that I made to him. 28 Therefore I have lent him to the Lord. As long as he lives, he is lent to the Lord.”
(AE)And he worshiped the Lord there.

撒母耳记上 1
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
以利加拿携二妻至示罗献祭
1 以法莲山地的拉玛琐非有一个以法莲人，名叫以利加拿，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，一名哈拿，一名毗尼拿，毗尼拿有儿女，哈拿没有儿女。 3 这人每年从本城上到示罗，敬拜祭祀万军之耶和华。在那里，有以利的两个儿子何弗尼、非尼哈当耶和华的祭司。 4 以利加拿每逢献祭的日子，将祭肉分给他的妻毗尼拿和毗尼拿所生的儿女； 5 给哈拿的却是双份，因为他爱哈拿。无奈耶和华不使哈拿生育。 6 毗尼拿见耶和华不使哈拿生育，就做她的对头，大大激动她，要使她生气。 7 每年上到耶和华殿的时候，以利加拿都以双份给哈拿。毗尼拿仍是激动她，以致她哭泣不吃饭。 8 她丈夫以利加拿对她说：“哈拿啊，你为何哭泣，不吃饭，心里愁闷呢？有我不比十个儿子还好吗？”
哈拿祈子
9 他们在示罗吃喝完了，哈拿就站起来。祭司以利在耶和华殿的门框旁边，坐在自己的位上。 10 哈拿心里愁苦，就痛痛哭泣，祈祷耶和华， 11 许愿说：“万军之耶和华啊！你若垂顾婢女的苦情，眷念不忘婢女，赐我一个儿子，我必使他终身归于耶和华，不用剃头刀剃他的头。”
12 哈拿在耶和华面前不住地祈祷，以利定睛看她的嘴。 13 原来哈拿心中默祷，只动嘴唇，不出声音，因此以利以为她喝醉了。 14 以利对她说：“你要醉到几时呢？你不应该喝酒。” 15 哈拿回答说：“主啊，不是这样。我是心里愁苦的妇人，清酒浓酒都没有喝，但在耶和华面前倾心吐意。 16 不要将婢女看做不正经的女子，我因被人激动，愁苦太多，所以祈求到如今。” 17 以利说：“你可以平平安安地回去，愿以色列的神允准你向他所求的！” 18 哈拿说：“愿婢女在你眼前蒙恩。”于是妇人走去吃饭，面上再不带愁容了。
撒母耳生
19 次日清早他们起来，在耶和华面前敬拜，就回拉玛，到了家里。以利加拿和妻哈拿同房，耶和华顾念哈拿， 20 哈拿就怀孕。日期满足，生了一个儿子，给他起名叫撒母耳，说：“这是我从耶和华那里求来的。”
撒母耳被献于耶和华
21 以利加拿和他全家都上示罗去，要向耶和华献年祭，并还所许的愿。 22 哈拿却没有上去，对丈夫说：“等孩子断了奶，我便带他上去朝见耶和华，使他永远住在那里。” 23 她丈夫以利加拿说：“就随你的意行吧，可以等儿子断了奶。但愿耶和华应验他的话！”于是妇人在家里乳养儿子，直到断了奶。 24 既断了奶，就把孩子带上示罗，到了耶和华的殿，又带了三只公牛，一伊法细面，一皮袋酒；那时孩子还小。 25 宰了一只公牛，就领孩子到以利面前。 26 妇人说：“主啊，我敢在你面前起誓，从前在你这里站着祈求耶和华的那妇人就是我。 27 我祈求为要得这孩子，耶和华已将我所求的赐给我了。 28 所以，我将这孩子归于耶和华，使他终身归于耶和华。”于是在那里敬拜耶和华。
