Bài cảm tạ của An-na
2 An-na cầu nguyện rằng:
“CHÚA ban cho lòng tôi đầy niềm hân hoan;
Tôi cảm thấy mạnh mẽ [a] trong Ngài.
Tôi dám cười kẻ thù tôi [b];
Tôi hớn hở vì Ngài giúp tôi!
2 Không có ai thánh thiện như CHÚA,
Không có thần nào ngoài Thượng Đế;
Không có Khối Đá nào như Thượng Đế chúng ta.
3 Đừng mãi khoác lác,
chớ nên nói những lời tự phụ.
CHÚA là Thượng Đế, Đấng biết mọi điều,
Ngài cân nhắc từng hành vi con người.
4 Cung của chiến sĩ có thể gãy,
nhưng kẻ yếu lại trở nên mạnh.
5 Những kẻ trước kia no đủ
nay phải làm lụng mới có ăn,
nhưng người trước kia bị đói khổ
nay lại được no đủ.
Người đàn bà trước kia không con
nay sinh bảy,
Còn người đàn bà có đông con
nay trở nên buồn thảm.
6 CHÚA sai sự chết,
và mang sự sống đến.
Ngài đưa người ta xuống huyệt,
Rồi khiến họ sống dậy.
7 CHÚA làm cho một số người trở nên nghèo khó,
và kẻ khác được giàu có.
Ngài hạ một số người xuống
và nâng kẻ khác lên.
8 CHÚA nhấc kẻ nghèo dậy khỏi bụi đất,
và nâng người khốn cùng lên từ đống tro [c].
Ngài để kẻ nghèo ngồi chung với quan trưởng
và nhận ngôi vinh dự.
Nền trái đất thuộc về CHÚA,
Ngài đặt thế giới trên nền đó.
9 Ngài bảo vệ những kẻ trung tín với Ngài,
nhưng kẻ ác phải nín lặng trong bóng tối.
Quyền hành không phải là bí quyết của thành công.
10 CHÚA tiêu diệt kẻ thù mình;
Từ trời Ngài làm sấm rền nghịch lại chúng.
CHÚA sẽ phân xử cả đất.
Ngài sẽ ban quyền lực cho vua Ngài
và khiến vua mà Ngài bổ nhiệm [d] được vững mạnh.”
Các con trai gian ác của Hê-li
11 Rồi Ên-ca-na trở về nhà ở Ra-ma còn cậu bé Sa-mu-ên ở lại phục vụ CHÚA dưới quyền của thầy tế lễ Hê-li.
12 Các con Hê-li rất gian ác; chúng nó chẳng hề biết CHÚA. 13 Chúng thường làm như sau: Mỗi khi có ai mang của lễ đến thì thịt thường được nấu trong nồi. Một đứa đầy tớ của thầy tế lễ đến cầm cái chĩa ba. 14 Nó thọc cái chĩa vào trong nồi. Hễ móc lên được miếng thịt nào thì thầy tế lễ lấy miếng đó. Họ đối xử với dân chúng đi đến Si-lô dâng của lễ như thế. 15 Có khi ngay cả trước khi thiêu mỡ, đầy tớ của thầy tế lễ đến bảo người dâng của lễ rằng, “Đưa cho thầy tế lễ một miếng thịt để nướng. Ông ta không chịu lấy thịt chín đâu, chỉ muốn thịt sống thôi.”
16 Nếu người dâng của lễ bảo, “Đợi thiêu mỡ [e] trước rồi sau đó anh muốn lấy gì thì lấy,” thì đầy tớ bảo, “Không, đưa tôi thịt sống ngay bây giờ, bằng không tôi giật đó.”
17 CHÚA thấy tội lỗi của các tên đầy tớ thật quá lắm vì chúng không kính trọng của lễ dâng lên cho Ngài.
Sa-mu-ên khôn lớn
18 Nhưng Sa-mu-ên vâng lời CHÚA. Lúc còn nhỏ, Sa-mu-ên mặc một áo cánh bằng vải. 19 Mỗi năm mẹ Sa-mu-ên may cho cậu một cái áo choàng nhỏ lúc nàng đi lên Si-lô với chồng để dâng của lễ. 20 Khi Hê-li chúc phước cho Ên-ca-na và vợ, ông nói, “Cầu CHÚA đền đáp lại cho ngươi, ban cho ngươi nhiều con qua An-na để thay thế cho đứa trẻ mà nàng đã cầu xin và dâng cho CHÚA.” 21 CHÚA tỏ lòng nhân từ với An-na, cho nên nàng sinh thêm ba con trai và hai con gái nữa, còn cậu bé Sa-mu-ên lớn lên phục vụ CHÚA.
Ê-li không kiểm soát được hai con của mình
22 Lúc đó Hê-li đã già lắm. Ông nghe biết hết những chuyện các con mình làm cho toàn dân Ít-ra-en cùng chuyện chúng nó ăn nằm với các phụ nữ phục vụ nơi cửa Lều Họp. 23 Hê-li hỏi các con, “Tại sao chúng bay làm chuyện bậy bạ mà người ta kể cho tao nghe vậy? 24 Không được đâu, các con! Dân sự CHÚA đã đồn tiếng xấu về các con. 25 Nếu các con phạm tội cùng người khác, CHÚA có thể tha thứ được. Còn nếu các con phạm tội cùng CHÚA, thì sẽ không ai tha thứ được đâu!” Nhưng các con Hê-li không thèm nghe cha mình vì CHÚA nhất định giết chúng nó.
26 Cậu bé Sa-mu-ên khôn lớn. Cậu làm vui lòng CHÚA và dân chúng.
Lời tiên tri đáng sợ về gia đình Hê-li
27 Có một người của Thượng Đế đến bảo Hê-li, “CHÚA phán như sau: Ta hiện ra cùng gia đình của tổ tiên [f] ngươi là A-rôn khi họ còn là nô lệ cho vua Ai-cập. 28 Ta đã chọn họ từ trong các chi tộc Ít-ra-en để làm thầy tế lễ cho ta. Ta muốn họ đi đến bàn thờ ta, dâng hương, và mặc áo ngắn thánh. Ta cũng để cho gia đình tổ tiên ngươi có phần trong các của lễ do dân Ít-ra-en cung hiến. 29 Sao ngươi khinh thường các của lễ dân chúng mang đến cho ta mà trọng các con mình hơn ta? Ngươi hành động như thế khi chiếm lấy cho mình những phần tốt nhất trong số thịt dân Ít-ra-en đem đến cho ta.
30 Cho nên CHÚA là Thượng Đế của Ít-ra-en phán: ‘Thật thế, ta đã hứa rằng gia đình ngươi và gia đình tổ tiên ngươi sẽ mãi mãi phục vụ ta.’ Nhưng bây giờ CHÚA phán: Chuyện đó sẽ không còn nữa! Ta tôn trọng kẻ nào tôn trọng ta và sỉ nhục kẻ nào sỉ nhục ta. 31 Ngươi phải biết rằng đã đến lúc ta tiêu diệt dòng dõi ngươi và dòng dõi tổ tiên ngươi. Trong gia đình ngươi sẽ không có ai sống lâu. 32 Ngươi sẽ nhìn thấy chuyện khốn đốn trong nhà mình [g]. Dù có bao nhiêu chuyện tốt đẹp trong Ít-ra-en, gia đình ngươi sẽ không có ai sống lâu. 33 Ta sẽ không hoàn toàn cắt đứt gia đình ngươi khỏi bàn thờ ta nhưng mắt ngươi sẽ khóc và lòng ngươi sẽ buồn thảm vì tất cả dòng dõi ngươi sẽ chết.
34 Ta sẽ cho ngươi một dấu hiệu. Cả hai con trai ngươi, Hóp-ni và Phi-nê-a đều sẽ chết cùng một ngày. 35 Ta sẽ chọn cho ta một thầy tế lễ trung thành, nghe ta và làm theo ý ta. Ta sẽ khiến gia đình người còn mãi, và người sẽ phục vụ ta trước mặt vua ta bổ nhiệm. 36 Rồi ai còn sót lại trong gia đình ngươi sẽ đến quì lạy trước mặt người xin tiền và thức ăn rằng, ‘Làm ơn cho tôi được làm thầy tế lễ để nuôi thân.’”

Hannah’s Prayer
2 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.
2 “There is no one holy(F) like(G) the Lord;
there is no one besides you;
there is no Rock(H) like our God.
3 “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)
4 “The bows of the warriors are broken,(M)
but those who stumbled are armed with strength.(N)
5 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.
6 “The Lord brings death and makes alive;(Q)
he brings down to the grave and raises up.(R)
7 The Lord sends poverty and wealth;(S)
he humbles and he exalts.(T)
8 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.
9 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.
11 Then Elkanah went home to Ramah,(AJ) but the boy ministered(AK) before the Lord under Eli the priest.
Eli’s Wicked Sons
12 Eli’s sons were scoundrels; they had no regard(AL) for the Lord. 13 Now it was the practice(AM) of the priests that, whenever any of the people offered a sacrifice, the priest’s servant would come with a three-pronged fork in his hand while the meat(AN) was being boiled 14 and would plunge the fork into the pan or kettle or caldron or pot. Whatever the fork brought up the priest would take for himself. This is how they treated all the Israelites who came to Shiloh. 15 But even before the fat was burned, the priest’s servant would come and say to the person who was sacrificing, “Give the priest some meat to roast; he won’t accept boiled meat from you, but only raw.”
16 If the person said to him, “Let the fat(AO) be burned first, and then take whatever you want,” the servant would answer, “No, hand it over now; if you don’t, I’ll take it by force.”
17 This sin of the young men was very great in the Lord’s sight, for they[b] were treating the Lord’s offering with contempt.(AP)
18 But Samuel was ministering(AQ) before the Lord—a boy wearing a linen ephod.(AR) 19 Each year his mother made him a little robe and took it to him when she went up with her husband to offer the annual(AS) sacrifice. 20 Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, saying, “May the Lord give you children by this woman to take the place of the one she prayed(AT) for and gave to[c] the Lord.” Then they would go home. 21 And the Lord was gracious to Hannah;(AU) she gave birth to three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile, the boy Samuel grew(AV) up in the presence of the Lord.
22 Now Eli, who was very old, heard about everything(AW) his sons were doing to all Israel and how they slept with the women(AX) who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 23 So he said to them, “Why do you do such things? I hear from all the people about these wicked deeds of yours. 24 No, my sons; the report I hear spreading among the Lord’s people is not good. 25 If one person sins against another, God[d] may mediate for the offender; but if anyone sins against the Lord, who will(AY) intercede(AZ) for them?” His sons, however, did not listen to their father’s rebuke, for it was the Lord’s will to put them to death.
26 And the boy Samuel continued to grow(BA) in stature and in favor with the Lord and with people.(BB)
Prophecy Against the House of Eli
27 Now a man of God(BC) came to Eli and said to him, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Did I not clearly reveal myself to your ancestor’s family when they were in Egypt under Pharaoh? 28 I chose(BD) your ancestor out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense,(BE) and to wear an ephod(BF) in my presence. I also gave your ancestor’s family all the food offerings(BG) presented by the Israelites. 29 Why do you[e] scorn my sacrifice and offering(BH) that I prescribed for my dwelling?(BI) Why do you honor your sons more than me by fattening yourselves on the choice parts of every offering made by my people Israel?’
30 “Therefore the Lord, the God of Israel, declares: ‘I promised that members of your family would minister before me forever.(BJ)’ But now the Lord declares: ‘Far be it from me! Those who honor me I will honor,(BK) but those who despise(BL) me will be disdained.(BM) 31 The time is coming when I will cut short your strength and the strength of your priestly house, so that no one in it will reach old age,(BN) 32 and you will see distress(BO) in my dwelling. Although good will be done to Israel, no one in your family line will ever reach old age.(BP) 33 Every one of you that I do not cut off from serving at my altar I will spare only to destroy your sight and sap your strength, and all your descendants(BQ) will die in the prime of life.
34 “‘And what happens to your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, will be a sign(BR) to you—they will both die(BS) on the same day.(BT) 35 I will raise up for myself a faithful priest,(BU) who will do according to what is in my heart and mind. I will firmly establish his priestly house, and they will minister before my anointed(BV) one always. 36 Then everyone left in your family line will come and bow down before him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread and plead,(BW) “Appoint me to some priestly office so I can have food to eat.(BX)”’”

1 Samuel 2
King James Version
1 Samuel 2
King James Version
2 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the Lord, mine horn is exalted in the Lord: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.
2 There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.
3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
4 The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
5 They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.
6 The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.
7 The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.
8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, and he hath set the world upon them.
9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
10 The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the Lord shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the Lord before Eli the priest.
12 Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the Lord.
13 And the priest's custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand;
14 And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither.
15 Also before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw.
16 And if any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, Nay; but thou shalt give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force.
17 Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord: for men abhorred the offering of the Lord.
18 But Samuel ministered before the Lord, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.
19 Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The Lord give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the Lord. And they went unto their own home.
21 And the Lord visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the Lord.
22 Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
23 And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.
24 Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the Lord's people to transgress.
25 If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the Lord would slay them.
26 And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the Lord, and also with men.
27 And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?
28 And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?
29 Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?
30 Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the Lord saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
31 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house.
32 And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever.
33 And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age.
34 And this shall be a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.
35 And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever.
36 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thine house shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.

Hannah's Prayer
2 And Hannah prayed and said,
(A)“My heart exults in the Lord;
(B)my horn is exalted in the Lord.
My mouth derides my enemies,
because (C)I rejoice in your salvation.
2 (D)“There is none holy like the Lord:
for there is none besides you;
there is (E)no rock like our God.
3 Talk no more so very proudly,
let not arrogance come from your mouth;
for the Lord is a God of knowledge,
and by him actions are weighed.
4 (F)The bows of the mighty are broken,
but the feeble bind on strength.
5 Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread,
but those who were hungry have ceased to hunger.
(G)The barren has borne seven,
(H)but she who has many children is forlorn.
6 (I)The Lord kills and brings to life;
he brings down to Sheol and raises up.
7 (J)The Lord makes poor and makes rich;
(K)he brings low and he exalts.
8 (L)He raises up the poor from the dust;
he lifts the needy from the ash heap
(M)to make them sit with princes
and inherit a seat of honor.
(N)For the pillars of the earth are the Lord's,
and on them he has set the world.
9 (O)“He will guard the feet of his faithful ones,
but the wicked shall be cut off in darkness,
for not by might shall a man prevail.
10 (P)The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces;
(Q)against them he will thunder in heaven.
(R)The Lord will judge the ends of the earth;
he will give strength to his king
(S)and exalt the horn of his anointed.”
11 Then Elkanah went home (T)to Ramah. (U)And the boy[a] was ministering to the Lord in the presence of Eli the priest.
Eli's Worthless Sons
12 Now the sons of Eli were (V)worthless men. (W)They did not know the Lord. 13 The custom of the priests with the people was that when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant would come, while the meat was boiling, with a three-pronged fork in his hand, 14 and he would thrust it into the pan or kettle or cauldron or pot. All that the fork brought up the priest would take for himself. This is what they did at Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there. 15 Moreover, (X)before the fat was burned, the priest's servant would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, “Give meat for the priest to roast, for he will not accept boiled meat from you but only raw.” 16 And if the man said to him, “Let them burn the fat first, and then take as much as you wish,” he would say, “No, you must give it now, and if not, I will take it by force.” 17 Thus the sin of the young men was very great (Y)in the sight of the Lord, (Z)for the men treated the offering of the Lord with contempt.
18 (AA)Samuel was ministering before the Lord, a boy (AB)clothed with a linen ephod. 19 And his mother used to make for him a little robe and take it to him each year (AC)when she went up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice. 20 Then Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, and say, “May the Lord give you children by this woman (AD)for the petition she asked of the Lord.” So then they would return to their home.
21 (AE)Indeed the Lord visited Hannah, and she conceived and bore three sons and two daughters. (AF)And the boy Samuel grew in the presence of the Lord.
Eli Rebukes His Sons
22 Now Eli was very old, and he kept hearing all that his sons were doing to all Israel, and how they lay with the women who (AG)were serving at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 23 And he said to them, “Why do you do such things? For I hear of your evil dealings from all these people. 24 No, my sons; it is no good report that I hear the people of the Lord spreading abroad. 25 If someone sins against a man, God will mediate for him, but if someone sins against the Lord, who can intercede for him?” But they would not listen to the voice of their father, (AH)for it was the will of the Lord to put them to death.
26 Now the boy Samuel (AI)continued to grow both in stature and in favor with the Lord and also with man.
The Lord Rejects Eli's Household
27 And there came (AJ)a man of God to Eli and said to him, “Thus says the Lord, (AK)‘Did I indeed reveal myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt subject to the house of Pharaoh? 28 (AL)Did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, (AM)to wear an ephod before me? (AN)I gave to the house of your father all my offerings by fire from the people of Israel. 29 Why then do you (AO)scorn[b] my sacrifices and my offerings that I commanded for my dwelling, and honor your sons above me by fattening yourselves on the choicest parts of every offering of my people Israel?’ 30 Therefore the Lord, the God of Israel, declares: (AP)‘I promised that your house and the house of your father should go in and out before me forever,’ (AQ)but now the Lord declares: ‘Far be it from me, for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed. 31 Behold, (AR)the days are coming when I will cut off your strength and the strength of your father's house, so that there will not be an old man in your house. 32 Then (AS)in distress you will look with envious eye on all the prosperity that shall be bestowed on Israel, (AT)and there shall not be an old man in your house forever. 33 The only one of you whom I shall not cut off from my altar shall be spared to weep his[c] eyes out to grieve his heart, and all the descendants[d] of your house shall die by the sword of men.[e] 34 (AU)And this that shall come upon your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, shall be the sign to you: both of them shall die (AV)on the same day. 35 (AW)And I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, who shall do according to what is in my heart and in my mind. (AX)And I will build him a sure house, and he shall go in and out before (AY)my anointed forever. 36 And everyone who is left in your house shall come to implore him for a piece of silver or a loaf of bread and shall say, “Please put me in one of the priests' places, that I may eat a morsel of bread.”’”
