撒母耳記上

第1章

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。

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。

3 這人每年從本城上到示羅,敬拜祭祀大軍之耶和華;在那裏有以利的兩個兒子何弗尼、非尼哈當耶和華的祭司。

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;

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。

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。

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[eat]

8 她丈夫以利加拿對她說:「哈拿啊,你為何哭泣?不[eatest]?心裏愁悶呢?有我不比十個兒子還好嗎?」

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。

10 哈拿心裏愁苦,就痛痛哭泣,祈禱耶和華,

11 許願說:「大軍之耶和華啊,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。」

12 哈拿在耶和華面前不住地祈禱,以利定睛看她的嘴。

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。

14 以利對她說:「你要醉到幾時呢?你不應該喝酒。」

15 哈拿回答說:「我主[my lord],不是這樣,我是[spirit]裏愁苦的婦人;清酒濃酒[I]都沒有喝,但在耶和華面前傾心吐意。

16 不要將婢女看作彼列之女[daughter of Belial];我因被人激動,愁苦太多,所以祈求到如今。」

17 以利說:「你可以平平安安地回去。願以色列的神允准你向他所求的。」

18 哈拿說:「願婢女在你眼前蒙恩。」於是婦人[went]用餐[eat],面上再不帶愁容了。

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;耶和華便[and]顧念哈拿。

20 那時[when],哈拿懷孕[had conceived]以後[after],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。」

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。

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 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;

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。

25 宰了一隻公牛,就領孩子到以利面前。

26 婦人說:「我主[my lord]啊,我敢在你面前起誓,我主[my lord],從前在你這裏站著祈求耶和華的那婦人,就是我。

27 我祈求為要得這孩子;耶和華已將我所求的賜給我了。

28 所以,我將這孩子[lent]與耶和華,使他終身[lent]與耶和華。」於是[he]在那裏敬拜耶和華。

1 Samuel

Chapter 1

1 Now there was a certain259 man376 of Ramathaimzophim,7436 of mount2022 Ephraim,669 and his name8034 was Elkanah,511 the son1121 of Jeroham,3395 the son1121 of Elihu,453 the son1121 of Tohu,8459 the son1121 of Zuph,6689 an Ephrathite:673

2 And he had two8147 wives;802 the name8034 of the one259 was Hannah,2584 and the name8034 of the other8145 Peninnah:6444 and Peninnah6444 had1961 children,3206 but Hannah2584 had no369 children.3206

3 And this1931 man376 went5927 up out of his city5892 yearly3117 to worship7812 and to sacrifice2076 to the LORD3068 of hosts6635 in Shiloh.7887 And the two8147 sons1121 of Eli,5941 Hophni2652 and Phinehas,6372 the priests3548 of the LORD,3068 were there.8033

4 And when the time3117 was that Elkanah511 offered,2076 he gave5414 to Peninnah6444 his wife,802 and to all3605 her sons1121 and her daughters,1323 portions:4490

5 But to Hannah2584 he gave5414 a worthy639 portion;4490 for he loved157 Hannah:2584 but the LORD3068 had shut5462 up her womb.7358

6 And her adversary6869 also1571 provoked3707 her sore,3708 for to make her fret,7481 because3588 the LORD3068 had shut5462 up her womb.7358

7 And as he did6213 so3651 year8141 by year,8141 when1767 she went5927 up to the house1004 of the LORD,3068 so3651 she provoked3707 her; therefore she wept,1058 and did not eat.398

8 Then said559 Elkanah511 her husband376 to her, Hannah,2584 why4100 weep1058 you? and why4100 eat398 you not? and why4100 is your heart3824 grieved?7489 am not I better2896 to you than ten6235 sons?1121

9 So Hannah2584 rose6965 up after310 they had eaten398 in Shiloh,7887 and after310 they had drunk.8354 Now Eli5941 the priest3548 sat3427 on a seat3678 by a post4201 of the temple1964 of the LORD.3068

10 And she was in bitterness4751 of soul,5315 and prayed6419 to the LORD,3068 and wept1058 sore.

11 And she vowed5087 a vow,5088 and said,559 O LORD3068 of hosts,6635 if518 you will indeed look7200 on the affliction6040 of your handmaid,519 and remember2142 me, and not forget7911 your handmaid,519 but will give5414 to your handmaid519 a man582 child,2233 then I will give5414 him to the LORD3068 all3605 the days3117 of his life,2416 and there shall no3808 razor4177 come5927 on his head.7218

12 And it came1961 to pass, as she continued7235 praying6419 before6440 the LORD,3068 that Eli5941 marked8104 her mouth.6310

13 Now Hannah,2584 she spoke1696 in her heart;3820 only7535 her lips8193 moved,5128 but her voice6963 was not heard:8085 therefore Eli5941 thought2803 she had been drunken.7910

14 And Eli5941 said559 to her, How5704 long5704 will you be drunken?7937 put5493 away5493 your wine3196 from you.

15 And Hannah2584 answered6030 and said,559 No,3808 my lord,113 I am a woman802 of a sorrowful7186 spirit:7307 I have drunk8354 neither3808 wine3196 nor strong drink,7941 but have poured8210 out my soul5315 before6440 the LORD.3068

16 Count5414 not your handmaid519 for a daughter1323 of Belial:1100 for out of the abundance7230 of my complaint7879 and grief3708 have I spoken1696 till now.5704 2008

17 Then Eli5941 answered6030 and said,559 Go3212 in peace:7965 and the God430 of Israel3478 grant5414 you your petition7596 that you have asked7592 of him.

18 And she said,559 Let your handmaid8198 find4672 grace2580 in your sight.5869 So the woman802 went3212 her way,1870 and did eat,398 and her countenance6440 was no3808 more5750 sad.

19 And they rose7925 up in the morning1242 early,7925 and worshipped7812 before6440 the LORD,3068 and returned,7725 and came935 to their house1004 to Ramah:7414 and Elkanah511 knew3045 Hannah2584 his wife;802 and the LORD3068 remembered2142 her.

20 Why it came1961 to pass, when the time3117 was come8622 about after Hannah2584 had conceived,2029 that she bore3205 a son,1121 and called7121 his name8034 Samuel,8050 saying, Because3588 I have asked7592 him of the LORD.3068

21 And the man376 Elkanah,511 and all3605 his house,1004 went5927 up to offer2076 to the LORD3068 the yearly3117 sacrifice,2077 and his vow.5088

22 But Hannah2584 went5927 not up; for she said559 to her husband,376 I will not go up until5704 the child5288 be weaned,1580 and then I will bring935 him, that he may appear7200 before854 6440 the LORD,3068 and there8033 abide3427 for ever.5769

23 And Elkanah511 her husband376 said559 to her, Do6213 what seems5869 you good;2896 tarry3427 until5704 you have weaned1580 him; only389 the LORD3068 establish6965 his word.1697 So the woman802 stayed,3427 and gave her son1121 suck3243 until5704 she weaned1580 him.

24 And when834 she had weaned1580 him, she took5927 him up with her, with three7969 bullocks,6499 and one259 ephah374 of flour,7058 and a bottle5035 of wine,3196 and brought935 him to the house1004 of the LORD3068 in Shiloh:7887 and the child5288 was young.5288

25 And they slew7819 a bullock,6499 and brought935 the child5288 to Eli.5941

26 And she said,559 Oh994 my lord,113 as your soul5315 lives,2416 my lord,113 I am the woman802 that stood5324 by you here,2088 praying6419 to the LORD.3068

27 For this2088 child5288 I prayed;6419 and the LORD3068 has given5414 me my petition7596 which834 I asked7592 of him:

28 Therefore also1571 I have lent7592 him to the LORD;3068 as long3117 as he lives3117 he shall be lent7592 to the LORD.3068 And he worshipped7812 the LORD3068 there.8033

1 Samuel

Chapter 1

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。

1 Now there was a certain259 man376 of Ramathaimzophim,7436 of mount2022 Ephraim,669 and his name8034 was Elkanah,511 the son1121 of Jeroham,3395 the son1121 of Elihu,453 the son1121 of Tohu,8459 the son1121 of Zuph,6689 an Ephrathite:673

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。

2 And he had two8147 wives;802 the name8034 of the one259 was Hannah,2584 and the name8034 of the other8145 Peninnah:6444 and Peninnah6444 had1961 children,3206 but Hannah2584 had no369 children.3206

3 這人每年從本城上到示羅,敬拜祭祀大軍之耶和華;在那裏有以利的兩個兒子何弗尼、非尼哈當耶和華的祭司。

3 And this1931 man376 went5927 up out of his city5892 yearly3117 to worship7812 and to sacrifice2076 to the LORD3068 of hosts6635 in Shiloh.7887 And the two8147 sons1121 of Eli,5941 Hophni2652 and Phinehas,6372 the priests3548 of the LORD,3068 were there.8033

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;

4 And when the time3117 was that Elkanah511 offered,2076 he gave5414 to Peninnah6444 his wife,802 and to all3605 her sons1121 and her daughters,1323 portions:4490

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。

5 But to Hannah2584 he gave5414 a worthy639 portion;4490 for he loved157 Hannah:2584 but the LORD3068 had shut5462 up her womb.7358

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。

6 And her adversary6869 also1571 provoked3707 her sore,3708 for to make her fret,7481 because3588 the LORD3068 had shut5462 up her womb.7358

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[eat]

7 And as he did6213 so3651 year8141 by year,8141 when1767 she went5927 up to the house1004 of the LORD,3068 so3651 she provoked3707 her; therefore she wept,1058 and did not eat.398

8 她丈夫以利加拿對她說:「哈拿啊,你為何哭泣?不[eatest]?心裏愁悶呢?有我不比十個兒子還好嗎?」

8 Then said559 Elkanah511 her husband376 to her, Hannah,2584 why4100 weep1058 you? and why4100 eat398 you not? and why4100 is your heart3824 grieved?7489 am not I better2896 to you than ten6235 sons?1121

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。

9 So Hannah2584 rose6965 up after310 they had eaten398 in Shiloh,7887 and after310 they had drunk.8354 Now Eli5941 the priest3548 sat3427 on a seat3678 by a post4201 of the temple1964 of the LORD.3068

10 哈拿心裏愁苦,就痛痛哭泣,祈禱耶和華,

10 And she was in bitterness4751 of soul,5315 and prayed6419 to the LORD,3068 and wept1058 sore.

11 許願說:「大軍之耶和華啊,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。」

11 And she vowed5087 a vow,5088 and said,559 O LORD3068 of hosts,6635 if518 you will indeed look7200 on the affliction6040 of your handmaid,519 and remember2142 me, and not forget7911 your handmaid,519 but will give5414 to your handmaid519 a man582 child,2233 then I will give5414 him to the LORD3068 all3605 the days3117 of his life,2416 and there shall no3808 razor4177 come5927 on his head.7218

12 哈拿在耶和華面前不住地祈禱,以利定睛看她的嘴。

12 And it came1961 to pass, as she continued7235 praying6419 before6440 the LORD,3068 that Eli5941 marked8104 her mouth.6310

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。

13 Now Hannah,2584 she spoke1696 in her heart;3820 only7535 her lips8193 moved,5128 but her voice6963 was not heard:8085 therefore Eli5941 thought2803 she had been drunken.7910

14 以利對她說:「你要醉到幾時呢?你不應該喝酒。」

14 And Eli5941 said559 to her, How5704 long5704 will you be drunken?7937 put5493 away5493 your wine3196 from you.

15 哈拿回答說:「我主[my lord],不是這樣,我是[spirit]裏愁苦的婦人;清酒濃酒[I]都沒有喝,但在耶和華面前傾心吐意。

15 And Hannah2584 answered6030 and said,559 No,3808 my lord,113 I am a woman802 of a sorrowful7186 spirit:7307 I have drunk8354 neither3808 wine3196 nor strong drink,7941 but have poured8210 out my soul5315 before6440 the LORD.3068

16 不要將婢女看作彼列之女[daughter of Belial];我因被人激動,愁苦太多,所以祈求到如今。」

16 Count5414 not your handmaid519 for a daughter1323 of Belial:1100 for out of the abundance7230 of my complaint7879 and grief3708 have I spoken1696 till now.5704 2008

17 以利說:「你可以平平安安地回去。願以色列的神允准你向他所求的。」

17 Then Eli5941 answered6030 and said,559 Go3212 in peace:7965 and the God430 of Israel3478 grant5414 you your petition7596 that you have asked7592 of him.

18 哈拿說:「願婢女在你眼前蒙恩。」於是婦人[went]用餐[eat],面上再不帶愁容了。

18 And she said,559 Let your handmaid8198 find4672 grace2580 in your sight.5869 So the woman802 went3212 her way,1870 and did eat,398 and her countenance6440 was no3808 more5750 sad.

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;耶和華便[and]顧念哈拿。

19 And they rose7925 up in the morning1242 early,7925 and worshipped7812 before6440 the LORD,3068 and returned,7725 and came935 to their house1004 to Ramah:7414 and Elkanah511 knew3045 Hannah2584 his wife;802 and the LORD3068 remembered2142 her.

20 那時[when],哈拿懷孕[had conceived]以後[after],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。」

20 Why it came1961 to pass, when the time3117 was come8622 about after Hannah2584 had conceived,2029 that she bore3205 a son,1121 and called7121 his name8034 Samuel,8050 saying, Because3588 I have asked7592 him of the LORD.3068

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。

21 And the man376 Elkanah,511 and all3605 his house,1004 went5927 up to offer2076 to the LORD3068 the yearly3117 sacrifice,2077 and his vow.5088

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。」

22 But Hannah2584 went5927 not up; for she said559 to her husband,376 I will not go up until5704 the child5288 be weaned,1580 and then I will bring935 him, that he may appear7200 before854 6440 the LORD,3068 and there8033 abide3427 for ever.5769

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;

23 And Elkanah511 her husband376 said559 to her, Do6213 what seems5869 you good;2896 tarry3427 until5704 you have weaned1580 him; only389 the LORD3068 establish6965 his word.1697 So the woman802 stayed,3427 and gave her son1121 suck3243 until5704 she weaned1580 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。

24 And when834 she had weaned1580 him, she took5927 him up with her, with three7969 bullocks,6499 and one259 ephah374 of flour,7058 and a bottle5035 of wine,3196 and brought935 him to the house1004 of the LORD3068 in Shiloh:7887 and the child5288 was young.5288

25 宰了一隻公牛,就領孩子到以利面前。

25 And they slew7819 a bullock,6499 and brought935 the child5288 to Eli.5941

26 婦人說:「我主[my lord]啊,我敢在你面前起誓,我主[my lord],從前在你這裏站著祈求耶和華的那婦人,就是我。

26 And she said,559 Oh994 my lord,113 as your soul5315 lives,2416 my lord,113 I am the woman802 that stood5324 by you here,2088 praying6419 to the LORD.3068

27 我祈求為要得這孩子;耶和華已將我所求的賜給我了。

27 For this2088 child5288 I prayed;6419 and the LORD3068 has given5414 me my petition7596 which834 I asked7592 of him:

28 所以,我將這孩子[lent]與耶和華,使他終身[lent]與耶和華。」於是[he]在那裏敬拜耶和華。

28 Therefore also1571 I have lent7592 him to the LORD;3068 as long3117 as he lives3117 he shall be lent7592 to the LORD.3068 And he worshipped7812 the LORD3068 there.8033
