撒母耳記上 2
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1哈拿 禱告說： 我的心因耶和華快樂； 我的角因耶和華高舉。 我的口向仇敵張開； 我因耶和華的救恩歡欣。
1And 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只有耶和華為聖； 除他以外沒有可比的， 也沒有磐石像我們的上帝。
2There is none holy as the LORD : for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.
3人不要誇口說驕傲的話， 也不要出狂妄的言語； 因耶和華是大有智識的上帝， 人的行為被他衡量。
3Talk 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勇士的弓都已折斷； 跌倒的人以力量束腰。
4The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
5素來飽足的，反作用人求食； 飢餓的，再不飢餓。 不生育的，生了七個兒子； 多有兒女的，反倒衰微。
5They 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耶和華使人死，也使人活， 使人下陰間，也使人往上升。
6The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.
7他使人貧窮，也使人富足， 使人卑微，也使人高貴。
7The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.
8他從灰塵裏抬舉貧寒人， 從糞堆中提拔窮乏人， 使他們與王子同坐， 得着榮耀的座位。 地的柱子屬於耶和華； 他將世界立在其上。
8He 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他必保護聖民的腳步， 使惡人在黑暗中寂然不動； 人都不能靠力量得勝。
9He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
10與耶和華爭競的，必被打碎； 耶和華必從天上以雷攻擊他， 必審判地極的人， 將力量賜與所立的王， 高舉受膏者的角。
10The 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以利加拿 往 拉瑪 回家去了。那孩子在祭司 以利 面前事奉耶和華。
11And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the LORD before Eli the priest.
12以利 的兩個兒子是惡人，不認識耶和華。
12¶ Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD .
13這二祭司待百姓是這樣的規矩：凡有人獻祭，正煮肉的時候，祭司的僕人就來，手拿三齒的叉子，
13And the priests’ 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將叉子往罐裏，或鼎裏，或釜裏，或鍋裏一插，插上來的肉，祭司都取了去。凡上到 示羅 的 以色列 人，他們都是這樣看待。
14And 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又在未燒脂油以前，祭司的僕人就來對獻祭的人說：「將肉給祭司，叫他烤吧。他不要煮過的，要生的。」
15Also 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獻祭的人若說：「必須先燒脂油，然後你可以隨意取肉。」僕人就說：「你立時給我，不然我便搶去。」
16And 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如此，這二少年人的罪在耶和華面前甚重了，因為他們藐視耶和華的祭物。
17Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD : for men abhorred the offering of the LORD .
18那時， 撒母耳 還是孩子，穿着細麻布的以弗得，侍立在耶和華面前。
18¶ But Samuel ministered before the LORD , being a child, girded with a linen ephod.
19他母親每年為他做一件小外袍，同着丈夫上來獻年祭的時候帶來給他。
19Moreover 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以利 為 以利加拿 和他的妻祝福，說：「願耶和華由這婦人再賜你後裔，代替你從耶和華求來的孩子。」他們就回本鄉去了。
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耶和華眷顧 哈拿 ，她就懷孕生了三個兒子，兩個女兒。那孩子 撒母耳 在耶和華面前漸漸長大。
21And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD .
22以利 年甚老邁，聽見他兩個兒子待 以色列 眾人的事，又聽見他們與會幕門前伺候的婦人苟合，
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他就對他們說：「你們為何行這樣的事呢？我從這眾百姓聽見你們的惡行。
23And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.
24我兒啊，不可這樣！我聽見你們的風聲不好，你們使耶和華的百姓犯了罪。
24Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD’s people to transgress.
25人若得罪人，有士師審判他；人若得罪耶和華，誰能為他祈求呢？」然而他們還是不聽父親的話，因為耶和華想要殺他們。
25If 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孩子 撒母耳 漸漸長大，耶和華與人越發喜愛他。
26And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the LORD , and also with men.
27有神人來見 以利 ，對他說：「耶和華如此說：『你祖父在 埃及 法老家 作奴僕 的時候，我不是向他們顯現嗎？
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在 以色列 眾支派中，我不是揀選人作我的祭司，使他燒香，在我壇上獻祭，在我面前穿以弗得，又將 以色列 人所獻的火祭都賜給你父家嗎？
28And 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我所吩咐獻在我居所的祭物，你們為何踐踏？尊重你的兒子過於尊重我，將我民 以色列 所獻美好的祭物肥己呢？』
29Wherefore 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因此，耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝說：『我曾說，你和你父家必永遠行在我面前；現在我卻說，決不容你們這樣行。因為尊重我的，我必重看他；藐視我的，他必被輕視。
30Wherefore 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日子必到，我要折斷你的膀臂和你父家的膀臂，使你家中沒有一個老年人。
31Behold, 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在 上帝 使 以色列 人享福的時候，你必看見我居所的敗落。在你家中必永遠沒有一個老年人。
32And 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我必不從我壇前滅盡你家中的人；那未滅的必使你眼目乾癟、心中憂傷。你家中所生的人都必死在中年。
33And 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你的兩個兒子 何弗尼 、 非尼哈 所遭遇的事可作你的證據：他們二人必一日同死。
34And 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我要為自己立一個忠心的祭司；他必照我的心意而行。我要為他建立堅固的家；他必永遠行在我的受膏者面前。
35And 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你家所剩下的人都必來叩拜他，求塊銀子，求個餅，說：求你賜我祭司的職分，好叫我得點餅吃。』」
36And 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.
