1 Samuel 1
Almeida Revista e Corrigida 2009
Elcana e suas mulheres
1 Houve um homem de Ramataim-Zofim, da montanha de Efraim, cujo nome era Elcana, filho de Jeroão, filho de Eliú, filho de Toú, filho de Zufe, efrateu. 2 E este tinha duas mulheres: o nome de uma era Ana, e o nome da outra, Penina; Penina tinha filhos, porém Ana não tinha filhos.
3 Subia, pois, este homem da sua cidade de ano em ano a adorar e a sacrificar ao Senhor dos Exércitos, em Siló; e estavam ali os sacerdotes em Siló; e estavam ali os sacerdotes do Senhor, Hofni e Fineias, os dois filhos de Eli. 4 E sucedeu que, no dia em que Elcana sacrificava, dava ele porções do sacrifício a Penina, sua mulher, e a todos os seus filhos, e a todas as suas filhas. 5 Porém a Ana dava uma parte excelente, porquanto ele amava Ana; porém o Senhor lhe tinha cerrado a madre. 6 E a sua competidora excessivamente a irritava para a embravecer, porquanto o Senhor lhe tinha cerrado a madre. 7 E assim o fazia ele de ano em ano; quando ela subia à Casa do Senhor, assim a outra a irritava; pelo que chorava e não comia. 8 Então, Elcana, seu marido, lhe disse: Ana, por que choras? E por que não comes? E por que está mal o teu coração? Não te sou eu melhor do que dez filhos?
Ana roga a Deus que lhe dê um filho
9 Então, Ana se levantou, depois que comeram e beberam em Siló; e Eli, o sacerdote, estava assentado numa cadeira, junto a um pilar do templo do Senhor. 10 Ela, pois, com amargura de alma, orou ao Senhor e chorou abundantemente. 11 E votou um voto, dizendo: Senhor dos Exércitos! Se benignamente atentares para a aflição da tua serva, e de mim te lembrares, e da tua serva te não esqueceres, mas à tua serva deres um filho varão, ao Senhor o darei por todos os dias da sua vida, e sobre a sua cabeça não passará navalha.
12 E sucedeu que, perseverando ela em orar perante o Senhor, Eli fez atenção à sua boca, 13 porquanto Ana, no seu coração, falava, e só se moviam os seus lábios, porém não se ouvia a sua voz; pelo que Eli a teve por embriagada. 14 E disse-lhe Eli: Até quando estarás tu embriagada? Aparta de ti o teu vinho. 15 Porém Ana respondeu e disse: Não, senhor meu, eu sou uma mulher atribulada de espírito; nem vinho nem bebida forte tenho bebido; porém tenho derramado a minha alma perante o Senhor. 16 Não tenhas, pois, a tua serva por filha de Belial; porque da multidão dos meus cuidados e do meu desgosto tenho falado até agora. 17 Então, respondeu Eli e disse: Vai em paz, e o Deus de Israel te conceda a tua petição que lhe pediste. 18 E disse ela: Ache a tua serva graça em teus olhos. Assim, a mulher se foi seu caminho e comeu, e o seu semblante já não era triste.
19 E levantaram-se de madrugada, e adoraram perante o Senhor, e voltaram, e vieram à sua casa, a Ramá. Elcana conheceu a Ana, sua mulher, e o Senhor se lembrou dela.
Nasce Samuel e é consagrado a Deus
20 E sucedeu que, passado algum tempo, Ana concebeu, e teve um filho, e chamou o seu nome Samuel, porque, dizia ela, o tenho pedido ao Senhor.
21 E subiu aquele homem Elcana, com toda a sua casa, a sacrificar ao Senhor o sacrifício anual e a cumprir o seu voto. 22 Porém Ana não subiu, mas disse a seu marido: Quando o menino for desmamado, então, o levarei, para que apareça perante o Senhor e lá fique para sempre. 23 E Elcana, seu marido, lhe disse: Faze o que bem te parecer a teus olhos; fica até que o desmames; tão somente confirme o Senhor a sua palavra. Assim, ficou a mulher e deu leite a seu filho, até que o desmamou. 24 E, havendo-o desmamado, o levou consigo, com três bezerros e um efa de farinha e um odre de vinho, e o trouxe à Casa do Senhor, a Siló. E era o menino ainda muito criança. 25 E degolaram um bezerro e assim trouxeram o menino a Eli. 26 E disse ela: Ah! Meu senhor, viva a tua alma, meu senhor; eu sou aquela mulher que aqui esteve contigo, para orar ao Senhor. 27 Por este menino orava eu; e o Senhor me concedeu a minha petição que eu lhe tinha pedido. 28 Pelo que também ao Senhor eu o entreguei, por todos os dias que viver; pois ao Senhor foi pedido. E ele adorou ali ao Senhor.
1 Samuel 1
Nova Versão Transformadora
Elcana e sua família
1 Havia um homem chamado Elcana, que vivia em Ramá, na região de Zufe,[a] na região montanhosa de Efraim. Era filho de Jeroão, filho de Eliú, filho de Toú, filho de Zufe, da tribo de Efraim. 2 Elcana tinha duas esposas: a primeira se chamava Ana, e a segunda, Penina. Penina tinha filhos; Ana, porém, não os tinha.
3 Todos os anos, Elcana subia de sua cidade até Siló para adorar o Senhor dos Exércitos e oferecer sacrifícios a ele. Nesse tempo, os sacerdotes do Senhor eram Hofni e Fineias, os dois filhos de Eli. 4 Quando Elcana apresentava seu sacrifício, dava porções de carne à sua esposa Penina e a cada um dos filhos e filhas dela. 5 A Ana, porém, dava uma porção especial, porque a amava,[b] apesar de o Senhor não lhe ter dado filhos. 6 E sua rival a provocava e zombava dela, porque o Senhor não lhe tinha dado filhos. 7 Todos os anos era a mesma coisa: Penina provocava Ana quando iam à casa do Senhor e, a cada vez, Ana chorava muito e ficava sem comer.
8 “Ana, por que você chora?”, perguntava Elcana, seu marido. “Por que não come? Por que está tão triste? Será que não sou melhor para você do que dez filhos?”
Ana ora pedindo um filho
9 Certa vez, depois que comeram e beberam em Siló, Ana se levantou. O sacerdote Eli estava sentado ao lado da entrada do templo do Senhor. 10 Ana estava muito angustiada e chorava sem parar enquanto orava ao Senhor. 11 Então fez o seguinte voto: “Ó Senhor dos Exércitos, se olhares com atenção para o sofrimento de tua serva, se responderes à minha oração e me deres um filho, eu o dedicarei para sempre ao Senhor, e o cabelo dele nunca será cortado”.
12 Enquanto ela fazia sua oração ao Senhor, Eli a observava. 13 Viu que os lábios dela se moviam, mas, como não ouvia som algum, pensou que ela estivesse bêbada. 14 “Até quando vai se embriagar?”, disse ele. “Largue esse vinho!”
15 Ana respondeu: “Meu senhor, não bebi vinho, nem outra coisa mais forte. Eu estava derramando meu coração diante do Senhor, pois sou uma mulher profundamente triste. 16 Não pense que sou uma mulher sem caráter! Estava apenas orando por causa de minha grande angústia e aflição”.
17 “Nesse caso, vá em paz”, disse Eli. “Que o Deus de Israel lhe conceda o que você pediu.”
18 “Muito obrigada!”, exclamou ela. Então Ana voltou e começou a se alimentar novamente, e seu rosto já não estava triste.
Nascimento e dedicação de Samuel
19 Na manhã seguinte, a família toda se levantou bem cedo e foi adorar o Senhor novamente. Depois, voltaram para casa, em Ramá. Elcana teve relações com Ana, e o Senhor se lembrou dela. 20 No devido tempo, Ana engravidou e teve um filho. Ela lhe deu o nome de Samuel,[c] e disse: “Eu o pedi ao Senhor”.
21 No ano seguinte, Elcana e sua família fizeram a viagem anual para oferecer sacrifícios ao Senhor e cumprir seu voto. 22 Ana, porém, não foi. “Vamos esperar até o menino ser desmamado”, disse ela ao marido. “Então o levarei ao Senhor e o deixarei lá para sempre.”
23 “Faça como lhe parecer melhor”, respondeu Elcana. “Fique aqui até ele desmamar, e que o Senhor a ajude a cumprir sua promessa.”[d] Então ela ficou em casa e cuidou de seu filho até desmamá-lo.
24 Quando o menino foi desmamado, Ana o levou à casa do Senhor em Siló, embora ele ainda fosse pequeno. Também levou um novilho de três anos[e] para o sacrifício, um cesto[f] de farinha e uma vasilha de couro cheia de vinho. 25 Depois que sacrificaram o novilho, levaram o menino a Eli, 26 e Ana lhe disse: “Com certeza o senhor se lembra de mim. Sou a mulher que esteve aqui anos atrás, orando ao Senhor. 27 Pedi ao Senhor que me desse este menino, e o Senhor atendeu a meu pedido. 28 Agora, eu o dedico ao Senhor. Por toda a sua vida ele pertencerá ao Senhor”. E ali adoraram o Senhor.

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.

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 King James Version
The Family of Elkanah
1 Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim Zophim, of the (A)mountains of Ephraim, and his name was (B)Elkanah the son of Jeroham, the son of [a]Elihu, the son of [b]Tohu, the son of Zuph, (C)an Ephraimite. 2 And he had (D)two wives: the name of one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children. 3 This man went up from his city (E)yearly (F)to worship and sacrifice to the Lord of hosts in (G)Shiloh. Also the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the Lord, were there. 4 And whenever the time came for Elkanah to make an (H)offering, he would give portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and daughters. 5 But to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved Hannah, (I)although the Lord had closed her womb. 6 And her rival also (J)provoked her severely, to make her miserable, because the Lord had closed her womb. 7 So it was, year by year, when she went up to the house of the Lord, that she provoked her; therefore she wept and did not eat.
Hannah’s Vow
8 Then Elkanah her husband said to her, “Hannah, why do you weep? Why do you not eat? And why is your heart grieved? Am I not (K)better to you than ten sons?”
9 So Hannah arose after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of (L)the [c]tabernacle of the Lord. 10 (M)And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the Lord and [d]wept in anguish. 11 Then she (N)made a vow and said, “O Lord of hosts, if You will indeed (O)look on the affliction of Your maidservant and (P)remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and (Q)no razor shall come upon his head.”
12 And it happened, as she continued praying before the Lord, that Eli watched her mouth. 13 Now Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk. 14 So Eli said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Put your wine away from you!”
15 But Hannah answered and said, “No, my lord, I am a woman of sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor intoxicating drink, but have (R)poured out my soul before the Lord. 16 Do not consider your maidservant a (S)wicked[e] woman, for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief I have spoken until now.”
17 Then Eli answered and said, (T)“Go in peace, and (U)the God of Israel grant your petition which you have asked of Him.”
18 And she said, (V)“Let your maidservant find favor in your sight.” So the woman (W)went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.
Samuel Is Born and Dedicated
19 Then they rose early in the morning and worshiped before the Lord, and returned and came to their house at Ramah. And Elkanah (X)knew Hannah his wife, and the Lord (Y)remembered her. 20 So it came to pass in the process of time that Hannah conceived and bore a son, and called his name [f]Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked for him from the Lord.”
21 Now the man Elkanah and all his house (Z)went up to offer to the Lord the yearly sacrifice and his vow. 22 But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, “Not until the child is weaned; then I will (AA)take him, that he may appear before the Lord and (AB)remain there (AC)forever.”
23 So (AD)Elkanah her husband said to her, “Do what seems best to you; wait until you have weaned him. Only let the Lord [g]establish [h]His word.” Then the woman stayed and nursed her son until she had weaned him.
24 Now when she had weaned him, she (AE)took him up with her, with [i]three bulls, one ephah of flour, and a skin of wine, and brought him to (AF)the house of the Lord in Shiloh. And the child was young. 25 Then they slaughtered a bull, and (AG)brought the child to Eli. 26 And she said, “O my lord! (AH)As your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to the Lord. 27 (AI)For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition which I asked of Him. 28 Therefore I also have lent him to the Lord; as long as he lives he shall be [j]lent to the Lord.” So they (AJ)worshiped the Lord there.
