撒母耳記上 1
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
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。
1Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim Zophim, of the hill country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
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。
2He had two wives. The name of one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
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。
3This man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of Armies in Shiloh. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests to the LORD, were there.
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；
4When the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and her daughters;
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。
5but he gave a double portion to Hannah, for he loved Hannah, but the LORD had shut up her womb.
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。
6Her rival provoked her severely, to irritate her, because the LORD had shut up her womb.
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。
7So year by year, when she went up to the LORD’s house, her rival provoked her. Therefore she wept, and didn’t eat.
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？」
8Elkanah her husband said to her, “Hannah, why do you weep? Why don’t you eat? Why is your heart grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”
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。
9So Hannah rose up after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on his seat by the doorpost of the LORD’s temple.
10哈拿 心裏愁苦，就痛痛哭泣，祈禱耶和華，
10She was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD, weeping bitterly.
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。」
11She vowed a vow, and said, “LORD of Armies, if you will indeed look at the affliction of your servant and remember me, and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a boy, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall come on his head.”
12哈拿 在耶和華面前不住地祈禱， 以利 定睛看她的嘴。（
12As she continued praying before the LORD, Eli saw her mouth.
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。）
13Now Hannah spoke in her heart. Only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk.
14以利 對她說：「你要醉到幾時呢？你不應該喝酒。」
14Eli said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Get rid of your wine!”
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。
15Hannah answered, “No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have not been drinking wine or strong drink, but I poured out my soul before the LORD.
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。」
16Don’t consider your servant a wicked woman; for I have been speaking out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation.”
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！」
17Then Eli answered, “Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of him.”
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。
18She said, “Let your servant find favor in your sight.” So the woman went her way and ate; and her facial expression wasn’t sad any more.
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 ，
19They rose up in the morning early and worshiped the LORD, then returned and came to their house to Ramah. Then Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.
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。」
20When the time had come, Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she named him Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked him of the LORD.”
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。
21The man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice and his vow.
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。」
22But Hannah didn’t go up, for she said to her husband, “Not until the child is weaned; then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and stay there forever.”
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；
23Elkanah her husband said to her, “Do what seems good to you. Wait until you have weaned him; only may the LORD establish his word.” So the woman waited and nursed her son until she weaned him.
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。）
24When she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls, and one ephah of meal, and a container of wine, and brought him to the LORD’s house in Shiloh. The child was young.
25宰了一隻公牛，就領孩子到 以利 面前。
25They killed the bull, and brought the child to Eli.
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。
26She said, “Oh, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to the LORD.
27我祈求為要得這孩子；耶和華已將我所求的賜給我了。
27I prayed for this child, and the LORD has given me my petition which I asked of him.
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。
28Therefore I have also given him to the LORD. As long as he lives he is given to the LORD.” He worshiped the LORD there.
