Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Now there was a man named Elkanah who was from Ramathaim-zophim in the hill country of Ephraim. He was the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
1以法蓮 山地的 拉瑪‧瑣非 有一個 以法蓮 人，名叫 以利加拿 ，是 蘇弗 的玄孫， 託戶 的曾孫， 以利戶 的孫子， 耶羅罕 的兒子。
2He had two wives, one named Hannah and the other Peninnah. And Peninnah had children, but Hannah had none.
2他有兩個妻：一名 哈拿 ，一名 毗尼拿 。 毗尼拿 有兒女， 哈拿 沒有兒女。
3Year after year Elkanah would go up from his city to worship and sacrifice to the LORD of Hosts at Shiloh, where Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests to the LORD.
3這人每年從本城上到 示羅 ，敬拜祭祀萬軍之耶和華；在那裏有 以利 的兩個兒子 何弗尼 、 非尼哈 當耶和華的祭司。
4And whenever the day came for Elkanah to present his sacrifice, he would give portions to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters.
4以利加拿 每逢獻祭的日子，將 祭肉 分給他的妻 毗尼拿 和 毗尼拿 所生的兒女；
5But to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved her even though the LORD had closed her womb.
5給 哈拿 的卻是雙分，因為他愛 哈拿 。無奈耶和華不使 哈拿 生育。
6Because the LORD had closed Hannah’s womb, her rival would provoke her and taunt her viciously.
6毗尼拿 見耶和華不使 哈拿 生育，就作她的對頭，大大激動她，要使她生氣。
7And this went on year after year. Whenever Hannah went up to the house of the LORD, her rival taunted her until she wept and would not eat.
7每年上到耶和華殿的時候， 以利加拿 都以雙分給 哈拿 ； 毗尼拿 仍是激動她，以致她哭泣不吃飯。
8“Hannah, why are you crying?” her husband Elkanah asked. “Why won’t you eat? Why is your heart so grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”
8她丈夫 以利加拿 對她說：「 哈拿 啊，你為何哭泣，不吃飯，心裏愁悶呢？有我不比十個兒子還好嗎？」
9So after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh, Hannah stood up. Now Eli the priest was sitting on a chair by the doorpost of the temple of the LORD.
9他們在 示羅 吃喝完了， 哈拿 就站起來。祭司 以利 在耶和華殿的門框旁邊，坐在自己的位上。
10In her bitter distress, Hannah prayed to the LORD and wept with many tears.
10哈拿 心裏愁苦，就痛痛哭泣，祈禱耶和華，
11And she made a vow, pleading, “O LORD of Hosts, if only You will look upon the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, not forgetting Your maidservant but giving her a son, then I will dedicate him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall ever come over his head.”
11許願說：「萬軍之耶和華啊，你若垂顧婢女的苦情，眷念不忘婢女，賜我一個兒子，我必使他終身歸與耶和華，不用剃頭刀剃他的頭。」
12As Hannah kept on praying before the LORD, Eli watched her mouth.
12哈拿 在耶和華面前不住地祈禱， 以利 定睛看她的嘴。（
13Hannah was praying in her heart, and though her lips were moving, her voice could not be heard. So Eli thought she was drunk
13原來 哈拿 心中默禱，只動嘴唇，不出聲音，因此 以利 以為她喝醉了。）
14and said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Put away your wine!”
14以利 對她說：「你要醉到幾時呢？你不應該喝酒。」
15“No, my lord,” Hannah replied. “I am a woman oppressed in spirit. I have not had any wine or strong drink, but I have poured out my soul before the LORD.
15哈拿 回答說：「主啊，不是這樣。我是心裏愁苦的婦人，清酒濃酒都沒有喝，但在耶和華面前傾心吐意。
16Do not take your servant for a wicked woman; for all this time I have been praying out of the depth of my anguish and grief.”
16不要將婢女看作不正經的女子。我因被人激動，愁苦太多，所以祈求到如今。」
17“Go in peace,” Eli replied, “and may the God of Israel grant the petition you have asked of Him.”
17以利 說：「你可以平平安安地回去。願 以色列 的上帝允准你向他所求的！」
18“May your maidservant find favor with you,” said Hannah. Then she went on her way, and she began eating again, and her face was no longer downcast.
18哈拿 說：「願婢女在你眼前蒙恩。」於是婦人走去吃飯，面上再不帶愁容了。
19The next morning Elkanah and Hannah got up early to bow in worship before the LORD, and then returned home to Ramah. And Elkanah had relations with his wife Hannah, and the LORD remembered her.
19次日清早，他們起來，在耶和華面前敬拜，就回 拉瑪 。到了家裏， 以利加拿 和妻 哈拿 同房，耶和華顧念 哈拿 ，
20So in the course of time, Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked for him from the LORD.”
20哈拿 就懷孕。日期滿足，生了一個兒子，給他起名叫 撒母耳 ， 說 ：「這是我從耶和華那裏求來的。」
21Then Elkanah and all his house went up to make the annual sacrifice to the LORD and to fulfill his vow,
21以利加拿 和他全家都上 示羅 去，要向耶和華獻年祭，並還所許的願。
22but Hannah did not go. “After the boy is weaned,” she said to her husband, “I will take him to appear before the LORD and to stay there permanently.”
22哈拿 卻沒有上去，對丈夫說：「等孩子斷了奶，我便帶他上去朝見耶和華，使他永遠住在那裏。」
23“Do what you think is best,” her husband Elkanah replied, “and stay here until you have weaned him. Only may the LORD confirm His word.” So Hannah stayed and nursed her son until she had weaned him.
23她丈夫 以利加拿 說：「就隨你的意行吧！可以等兒子斷了奶。但願耶和華應驗他的話。」於是婦人在家裏乳養兒子，直到斷了奶；
24Once she had weaned him, Hannah took the boy with her, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine. Though the boy was still young, she brought him to the house of the LORD at Shiloh.
24既斷了奶，就把孩子帶上 示羅 ，到了耶和華的殿；又帶了三隻公牛，一伊法細麵，一皮袋酒。（那時，孩子還小。）
25And when they had slaughtered the bull, they brought the boy to Eli.
25宰了一隻公牛，就領孩子到 以利 面前。
26“Please, my lord,” said Hannah, “as surely as you live, my lord, I am the woman who stood here beside you praying to the LORD.
26婦人說：「主啊，我敢在你面前起誓，從前在你這裏站着祈求耶和華的那婦人，就是我。
27I prayed for this boy, and since the LORD has granted me what I asked of Him,
27我祈求為要得這孩子；耶和華已將我所求的賜給我了。
28I now dedicate the boy to the LORD. For as long as he lives, he is dedicated to the LORD.” So they worshiped the LORD there.
28所以，我將這孩子歸與耶和華，使他終身歸與耶和華。」 於是在那裏敬拜耶和華。
