撒母耳记上 1
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
以利加拿携二妻到示罗献祭
1 在以法莲山地的拉玛.琐非,有一个以法莲人名叫以利加拿,是耶罗罕的儿子、以利户的孙子、托户的曾孙、苏弗的玄孙。 2 他有两个妻子,一个名叫哈拿,另一个名叫毘尼拿。毘尼拿有孩子,哈拿却没有孩子。 3 这人每年都从他的本城上示罗去敬拜,献祭给万军之耶和华。在示罗有以利的两个儿子,何弗尼和非尼哈,作耶和华的祭司。 4 以利加拿在献祭的那天,就把祭肉分给妻子毘尼拿和她所有的儿女。 5 但他只分给哈拿一分;他虽然爱哈拿(《马索拉文本》意思不明确,“但他只分给哈拿一分;他虽然爱哈拿”或译:“但他分给哈拿双分,因为他爱哈拿”),耶和华却使哈拿不能怀孕。 6 因为耶和华使哈拿不能怀孕,她的对头就尽力刺激她,使她苦恼。 7 年年都是这样;每逢她上耶和华殿的时候,毘尼拿总是刺激哈拿,使她哭泣,吃不下饭。 8 她的丈夫以利加拿对她说:“哈拿,你为甚么哭泣?为甚么不吃饭,为甚么心里难过呢?你有我不是比有十个儿子更好吗?”
哈拿求子
9 哈拿在示罗吃喝完了,就起来。(那时以利祭司在耶和华殿的门柱旁边,坐在椅子上。) 10 她心里愁苦,就向耶和华祷告,流泪痛哭, 11 并且许愿,说:“万军之耶和华啊,你若是看顾使女的困苦,记念我,不忘记你的使女,赐给使女一个儿子,我就必把他一生献给耶和华,不剃他的头。”
12 哈拿向耶和华祷告了很久,以利一直在注视她的嘴。 13 原来哈拿是在心中诉说,只见她的嘴唇在动,却听不见她的声音,因此以利以为她是个喝醉了的女人。 14 以利就对她说:“你要醉到几时呢?快快醒过来吧!” 15 哈拿回答:“我主啊,不是的。我是个心灵愁苦的妇人,淡酒烈酒都没有喝,只不过在耶和华面前倾吐我的心意。 16 不要把你的使女看作不检点的女子,我因为极度愁苦和激动,才一直倾诉到现在。” 17 以利回答:“平平安安回去吧!愿以色列的 神把你向他所求的赐给你。” 18 哈拿说:“愿你的婢女在你眼前蒙恩!”于是这妇人回去,并且吃饭,脸上再没有愁容。
撒母耳出生
19 第二天,他们清早起来,在耶和华面前敬拜,然后回到他们的家乡拉玛,回到自己的家里去。以利加拿和妻子哈拿同房;耶和华顾念哈拿, 20 她就怀孕;时候到了,就生了一个儿子,哈拿给他起名叫撒母耳,因为她说:“他是我从耶和华那里求来的。”
撒母耳被献
21 以利加拿和他全家都上示罗去,向耶和华献年祭和还所许的愿; 22 哈拿却没有上去,因为她对丈夫说:“等孩子断了奶,我才带他去朝见耶和华。他要永远住在那里。” 23 她丈夫以利加拿对她说:“你看怎样好,就怎样作吧。你可以留在这里,等到你给孩子断了奶,但愿耶和华实现他的话。”于是哈拿留在家里乳养孩子,直到给他断了奶。 24 她给孩子断了奶之后,就带他一同上去,又带了一头三岁的公牛(按照《马索拉文本》,“一头三岁的公牛”应作“三头公牛”;现参照《七十士译本》翻译)、十公斤面和一皮袋酒。她把孩子带到示罗耶和华的殿那里;那时孩子还很小。 25 他们宰了公牛以后,就带孩子到以利那里, 26 妇人说:“我主啊,我敢指着我主的性命起誓,我就是从前在这里站在你旁边,向耶和华祷告的那个妇人。 27 那时我祈求为要得这孩子,耶和华已经把我向他所求的赐给我了, 28 所以我现在把他献给耶和华,他的一生是属于耶和华的。”于是他就在那里敬拜耶和华。

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
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.

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.
