哈拿的祷告

哈拿祷告说:

“我的心因耶和华快乐,
我的角因耶和华高举。
我的口向仇敌张开;
我因你的救恩欢欣。

“没有一位圣者像耶和华,
除你以外没有别的了,
也没有磐石像我们的 神。
不要夸口说骄傲的话,
也不要口出狂妄的言语,
因耶和华是有知识的 神,
人的行为被他衡量。
勇士的弓折断,
跌倒的人以力量束腰。
饱足的人作雇工求食;
饥饿的人也不再饥饿。
不生育的生了七个;
儿女多的反倒孤独。
耶和华使人死,也使人活,
使人下阴间,也使人往上升。
耶和华使人贫穷,也使人富足;
使人降卑,也使人升高。
他从灰尘里抬举贫寒人,
从粪堆中提拔贫穷人,
使他们与贵族同坐,
继承荣耀的座位。
地的柱子属耶和华,
他将世界立在其上。

“他必保护他圣民的脚步,
但恶人却在黑暗中毁灭,
因为人不是靠力量得胜。
10 与耶和华相争的,必被打碎;
他必从天上打雷攻击他们。
耶和华审判地极的人,
将力量赐给所立的王,
高举受膏者的角。”

哈娜的禱告

哈娜禱告說:

「我的心因耶和華而歡喜,
我的力量因耶和華而倍增,
我的口向敵人誇耀,
我因耶和華的拯救而快樂。

「耶和華聖潔無比,
獨一無二,
沒有磐石像我們的上帝。
不要再驕橫傲慢、口出狂言,
因為耶和華鑒察萬事,
祂會按著人的行為施行審判。
勇士的弓被折斷,
軟弱的變為剛強。
素來豐衣足食的為糊口而當雇工,
本來食不果腹的卻不再挨餓。
不育的婦人現在生了七個孩子,
兒女成群的婦人卻子女盡失。
耶和華掌管生死,
祂使人進入墳墓,也使人起死回生。
貧窮富足在於祂,
卑微高貴也在於祂。
祂從灰塵中提拔窮苦的人,
從糞堆裡擢升貧賤的人,
使他們與王子同坐,
得享尊榮。
大地的根基屬於耶和華,
祂在上面建立了世界。
祂保護祂的聖民,
使惡人在黑暗中滅亡,
因為得勝不是靠人的勇力。
10 跟耶和華對抗的人必被擊潰,
祂必從天上用雷擊打他。
祂必審判天下,
賜力量給祂所立的君王,
使祂所膏立的人大有權柄。」

Hannah’s Prayer

Then Hannah prayed and said:(A)

“My heart rejoices(B) in the Lord;
    in the Lord my horn[a](C) is lifted high.
My mouth boasts(D) over my enemies,(E)
    for I delight in your deliverance.

“There is no one holy(F) like(G) the Lord;
    there is no one besides you;
    there is no Rock(H) like our God.

“Do not keep talking so proudly
    or let your mouth speak such arrogance,(I)
for the Lord is a God who knows,(J)
    and by him deeds(K) are weighed.(L)

“The bows of the warriors are broken,(M)
    but those who stumbled are armed with strength.(N)
Those who were full hire themselves out for food,
    but those who were hungry(O) are hungry no more.
She who was barren(P) has borne seven children,
    but she who has had many sons pines away.

“The Lord brings death and makes alive;(Q)
    he brings down to the grave and raises up.(R)
The Lord sends poverty and wealth;(S)
    he humbles and he exalts.(T)
He raises(U) the poor(V) from the dust(W)
    and lifts the needy(X) from the ash heap;
he seats them with princes
    and has them inherit a throne of honor.(Y)

“For the foundations(Z) of the earth are the Lord’s;
    on them he has set the world.
He will guard the feet(AA) of his faithful servants,(AB)
    but the wicked will be silenced in the place of darkness.(AC)

“It is not by strength(AD) that one prevails;
10     those who oppose the Lord will be broken.(AE)
The Most High will thunder(AF) from heaven;
    the Lord will judge(AG) the ends of the earth.

“He will give strength(AH) to his king
    and exalt the horn(AI) of his anointed.”
