LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 ανθρωπος ην εξ αρμαθαιμ σιφα εξ ορους εφραιμ και ονομα αυτω ελκανα υιος ιερεμεηλ υιου ηλιου υιου θοκε εν νασιβ εφραιμ	1 There was a certain man from Ramah of Zophim, on Mount 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 και τουτω δυο γυναικες ονομα τη μια αννα και ονομα τη δευτερα φεννανα και ην τη φεννανα παιδια και τη αννα ουκ ην παιδιον	2 And he had two wives: the name of one was Hannah, and the name of the second was Peninnah. And Peninnah had sons. But Hannah did not have children.
3 και ανεβαινεν ο ανθρωπος εξ ημερων εις ημερας εκ πολεως αυτου εξ αρμαθαιμ προσκυνειν και θυειν τω κυριω θεω σαβαωθ εις σηλω και εκει ηλι και οι δυο υιοι αυτου οφνι και φινεες ιερεις του κυριου	3 And this man went up from his city, on the established days, so that he might adore and sacrifice to the Lord of hosts at Shiloh. Now the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests of the Lord, were in that place.
4 και εγενηθη ημερα και εθυσεν ελκανα και εδωκεν τη φεννανα γυναικι αυτου και τοις υιοις αυτης και ταις θυγατρασιν αυτης μεριδας	4 Then the day arrived, and Elkanah immolated. And he gave portions to his wife Peninnah, and to all her sons and daughters.
5 και τη αννα εδωκεν μεριδα μιαν οτι ουκ ην αυτη παιδιον πλην οτι την ανναν ηγαπα ελκανα υπερ ταυτην και κυριος απεκλεισεν τα περι την μητραν αυτης	5 But to Hannah he gave one portion with sorrow. For he loved Hannah, but the Lord had closed her womb.
6 οτι ουκ εδωκεν αυτη κυριος παιδιον κατα την θλιψιν αυτης και κατα την αθυμιαν της θλιψεως αυτης και ηθυμει δια τουτο οτι συνεκλεισεν κυριος τα περι την μητραν αυτης του μη δουναι αυτη παιδιον	6 And her rival afflicted her and vehemently distressed her, to a great extent, for she rebuked her that the Lord had closed her womb.
7 ουτως εποιει ενιαυτον κατ' ενιαυτον εν τω αναβαινειν αυτην εις οικον κυριου και ηθυμει και εκλαιεν και ουκ ησθιεν	7 And she did so every year, when the time returned for them to ascend to the temple of the Lord. And she provoked her in this way. And so, she wept and did not take food.
8 και ειπεν αυτη ελκανα ο ανηρ αυτης αννα και ειπεν αυτω ιδου εγω κυριε και ειπεν αυτη τι εστιν σοι οτι κλαιεις και ινα τι ουκ εσθιεις και ινα τι τυπτει σε η καρδια σου ουκ αγαθος εγω σοι υπερ δεκα τεκνα	8 Therefore, her husband Elkanah said to her: “Hannah, why are you weeping? And why do you not eat? And for what reason do you afflict your heart? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”
9 και ανεστη αννα μετα το φαγειν αυτους εν σηλω και κατεστη ενωπιον κυριου και ηλι ο ιερευς εκαθητο επι του διφρου επι των φλιων ναου κυριου	9 And so, after she ate and drank at Shiloh, Hannah rose up. And Eli, the priest, was sitting on the seat before the door of the temple of the Lord.
10 και αυτη κατωδυνος ψυχη και προσηυξατο προς κυριον και κλαιουσα εκλαυσεν	10 And since Hannah was bitter in soul, she prayed to the Lord, weeping greatly.
11 και ηυξατο ευχην κυριω λεγουσα αδωναι κυριε ελωαι σαβαωθ εαν επιβλεπων επιβλεψης επι την ταπεινωσιν της δουλης σου και μνησθης μου και δως τη δουλη σου σπερμα ανδρων και δωσω αυτον ενωπιον σου δοτον εως ημερας θανατου αυτου και οινον και μεθυσμα ου πιεται και σιδηρος ουκ αναβησεται επι την κεφαλην αυτου	11 And she made a vow, saying, “O Lord of hosts, if, in looking with favor, you will see the affliction of your servant and will remember me, and will not forget your handmaid, and if you will give to your servant a male child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall pass over his head.”
12 και εγενηθη οτε επληθυνεν προσευχομενη ενωπιον κυριου και ηλι ο ιερευς εφυλαξεν το στομα αυτης	12 Then it happened that, while she multiplied prayers before the Lord, Eli observed her mouth.
13 και αυτη ελαλει εν τη καρδια αυτης και τα χειλη αυτης εκινειτο και φωνη αυτης ουκ ηκουετο και ελογισατο αυτην ηλι εις μεθυουσαν	13 For Hannah was speaking in her heart, and only her lips moved, and her voice was barely heard. Therefore, Eli considered her to be drunk,
14 και ειπεν αυτη το παιδαριον ηλι εως ποτε μεθυσθηση περιελου τον οινον σου και πορευου εκ προσωπου κυριου	14 and so he said to her: “How long will you be inebriated? You should take only a little wine, but instead you are drenched.”
15 και απεκριθη αννα και ειπεν ουχι κυριε γυνη η σκληρα ημερα εγω ειμι και οινον και μεθυσμα ου πεπωκα και εκχεω την ψυχην μου ενωπιον κυριου	15 Responding, Hannah said: “By no means, my lord. For I am an exceedingly unhappy woman, and I drank neither wine, nor anything that can inebriate. Instead, I have poured out my soul in the sight of the Lord.
16 μη δως την δουλην σου εις θυγατερα λοιμην οτι εκ πληθους αδολεσχιας μου εκτετακα εως νυν	16 You should not repute your handmaid as one of the daughters of Belial. For I have been speaking from the abundance of my sorrow and grief, even until now.”
17 και απεκριθη ηλι και ειπεν αυτη πορευου εις ειρηνην ο θεος ισραηλ δωη σοι παν αιτημα σου ο ητησω παρ' αυτου	17 Then Eli said to her: “Go in peace. And may the God of Israel grant to you your petition, which you have begged of him.”
18 και ειπεν ευρεν η δουλη σου χαριν εν οφθαλμοις σου και επορευθη η γυνη εις την οδον αυτης και εισηλθεν εις το καταλυμα αυτης και εφαγεν μετα του ανδρος αυτης και επιεν και το προσωπον αυτης ου συνεπεσεν ετι	18 And she said, “I wish that your handmaid may find grace in your eyes.” And the woman went on her way, and she ate, and her countenance was no longer changed for the worse.
19 και ορθριζουσιν το πρωι και προσκυνουσιν τω κυριω και πορευονται την οδον αυτων και εισηλθεν ελκανα εις τον οικον αυτου αρμαθαιμ και εγνω την ανναν γυναικα αυτου και εμνησθη αυτης κυριος	19 And they rose up in the morning, and they worshipped before the Lord. And they returned and arrived at their own house at Ramah. Then Elkanah knew his wife Hannah. And the Lord remembered her.
20 και συνελαβεν και εγενηθη τω καιρω των ημερων και ετεκεν υιον και εκαλεσεν το ονομα αυτου σαμουηλ και ειπεν οτι παρα κυριου θεου σαβαωθ ητησαμην αυτον	20 And it happened that, in the course of days, Hannah conceived and bore a son. And she called his name Samuel, because she had requested him from the Lord.
21 και ανεβη ο ανθρωπος ελκανα και πας ο οικος αυτου θυσαι εν σηλωμ την θυσιαν των ημερων και τας ευχας αυτου και πασας τας δεκατας της γης αυτου	21 Now her husband Elkanah ascended with his entire house, so that he might immolate to the Lord a solemn sacrifice, with his vow.
22 και αννα ουκ ανεβη μετ' αυτου οτι ειπεν τω ανδρι αυτης εως του αναβηναι το παιδαριον εαν απογαλακτισω αυτο και οφθησεται τω προσωπω κυριου και καθησεται εκει εως αιωνος	22 But Hannah did not go up. For she said to her husband, “I will not go, until the infant has been weaned, and until I may lead him, so that he may appear before the sight of the Lord, and may remain always there.”
23 και ειπεν αυτη ελκανα ο ανηρ αυτης ποιει το αγαθον εν οφθαλμοις σου καθου εως αν απογαλακτισης αυτο αλλα στησαι κυριος το εξελθον εκ του στοματος σου και εκαθισεν η γυνη και εθηλασεν τον υιον αυτης εως αν απογαλακτιση αυτον	23 And her husband Elkanah said to her: “Do what seems good to you, and stay until you wean him. And I pray that the Lord may fulfill his word.” Therefore, the woman remained at home, and she breastfed her son, until she withdrew him from milk.
24 και ανεβη μετ' αυτου εις σηλωμ εν μοσχω τριετιζοντι και αρτοις και οιφι σεμιδαλεως και νεβελ οινου και εισηλθεν εις οικον κυριου εν σηλωμ και το παιδαριον μετ' αυτων	24 And after she had weaned him, she brought him with her, along with three calves, and three measures of flour, and a small bottle of wine, and she led him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh. But the boy was still a young child.
25 και προσηγαγον ενωπιον κυριου και εσφαξεν ο πατηρ αυτου την θυσιαν ην εποιει εξ ημερων εις ημερας τω κυριω και προσηγαγεν το παιδαριον και εσφαξεν τον μοσχον και προσηγαγεν αννα η μητηρ του παιδαριου προς ηλι	25 And they immolated a calf, and they presented the boy to Eli.
26 και ειπεν εν εμοι κυριε ζη η ψυχη σου εγω η γυνη η καταστασα ενωπιον σου εν τω προσευξασθαι προς κυριον	26 And Hannah said: “I beg you, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord: I am that woman, who stood before you here, praying to the Lord.
27 υπερ του παιδαριου τουτου προσηυξαμην και εδωκεν μοι κυριος το αιτημα μου ο ητησαμην παρ' αυτου	27 I prayed for this child, and the Lord granted to me my petition, which I asked of him.
28 καγω κιχρω αυτον τω κυριω πασας τας ημερας ας ζη αυτος χρησιν τω κυριω	28 Because of this, I have also lent him to the Lord, for all the days when he shall be lent to the Lord.” And they adored the Lord in that place. And Hannah prayed, and she said:
