1 Samuel 1

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 There was a certain man from Rama-thaim, Elkanah by name, a Zuphite from the hill country of Ephraim. He was the son of Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.	1 Ητο δε ανθρωπος τις εκ Ραμαθαιμ-σοφιμ, εκ του ορους Εφραιμ, και το ονομα αυτου Ελκανα, υιος του Ιεροαμ, υιου Ελιου, υιου Θοου, υιου Σουφ, Εφραθαιος.
2 He had two wives, one named Hannah, the other Peninnah; Peninnah had children, but Hannah was childless.	2 Και ειχεν ουτος δυο γυναικας? το ονομα της μιας Αννα, και το ονομα της δευτερας Φενιννα? η μεν Φενιννα ειχε τεκνα, η δε Αννα δεν ειχε τεκνα.
3 This man regularly went on pilgrimage from his city to worship the LORD of hosts and to sacrifice to him at Shiloh, where the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were ministering as priests of the LORD.	3 Ανεβαινε δε ο ανθρωπος ουτος εκ της πολεως αυτου κατ' ετος, δια να προσκυνηση και να προσφερη θυσιαν προς τον Κυριον των δυναμεων εν Σηλω. Και ησαν εκει οι δυο υιοι του Ηλει, Οφνει και Φινεες, ιερεις του Κυριου.
4 When the day came for Elkanah to offer sacrifice, he used to give a portion each to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters,	4 Εφθασε δε η ημερα, καθ' ην εθυσιασεν ο Ελκανα και εδωκε μεριδας εις την Φενινναν την γυναικα αυτου και εις παντας τους υιους αυτης και τας θυγατερας αυτης.
5 but a double portion to Hannah because he loved her, though the LORD had made her barren.	5 εις δε την Ανναν εδωκε διπλασιαν μεριδα? διοτι ηγαπα την Ανναν? αλλ' ο Κυριος ειχε κλεισει την μητραν αυτης.
6 Her rival, to upset her, turned it into a constant reproach to her that the LORD had left her barren.	6 Και η αντιζηλος αυτης παρωξυνεν αυτην σφοδρα, ωστε να καμνη αυτην να αδημονη, οτι ο Κυριος ειχε κλεισει την μητραν αυτης.
7 This went on year after year; each time they made their pilgrimage to the sanctuary of the LORD, Peninnah would approach her, and Hannah would weep and refuse to eat.	7 Και ουτως εκαμνε κατ' ετος? οσακις ανεβαινεν εις τον οικον του Κυριου, ουτω παρωξυνεν αυτην? και εκεινη εκλαιε και δεν ετρωγεν.
8 Her husband Elkanah used to ask her: "Hannah, why do you weep, and why do you refuse to eat? Why do you grieve? Am I not more to you than ten sons?"	8 Ειπε δε προς αυτην Ελκανα ο ανηρ αυτης, Αννα, δια τι κλαιεις; και δια τι δεν τρωγεις; και δια τι η καρδια σου ειναι τεθλιμμενη; δεν ειμαι εγω εις σε καλητερος παρα δεκα υιους;
9 Hannah rose after one such meal at Shiloh, and presented herself before the LORD; at the time, Eli the priest was sitting on a chair near the doorpost of the LORD'S temple.	9 Και εσηκωθη η Αννα, αφου εφαγον εν Σηλω και αφου επιον? ο δε Ηλει ο ιερευς εκαθητο επι καθεδρας, πλησιον του παραστατου της πυλης του ναου του Κυριου.
10 In her bitterness she prayed to the LORD, weeping copiously,	10 Και αυτη ητο καταπικραμενη την ψυχην και προσηυχετο εις τον Κυριον, κλαιουσα καθ' υπερβολην.
11 and she made a vow, promising: "O LORD of hosts, if you look with pity on the misery of your handmaid, if you remember me and do not forget me, if you give your handmaid a male child, I will give him to the LORD for as long as he lives; neither wine nor liquor shall he drink, and no razor shall ever touch his head."	11 Και ηυχηθη ευχην, λεγουσα, Κυριε των δυναμεων, εαν επιβλεψης τωοντι εις την ταπεινωσιν της δουλης σου και με ενθυμηθης και δεν λησμονησης την δουλην σου, αλλα δωσης εις την δουλην σου τεκνον αρσενικον, τοτε θελω δωσει αυτο εις τον Κυριον πασας τας ημερας της ζωης αυτου, και ξυραφιον δεν θελει αναβη επι την κεφαλην αυτου.
12 As she remained long at prayer before the LORD, Eli watched her mouth,	12 Ενω δε αυτη εξηκολουθει προσευχομενη ενωπιον του Κυριου, ο Ηλει παρετηρει το στομα αυτης.
13 for Hannah was praying silently; though her lips were moving, her voice could not be heard. Eli, thinking her drunk,	13 Πλην η Αννα αυτη ελαλει εν τη καρδια αυτης? μονον τα χειλη αυτης εκινουντο, αλλ' η φωνη αυτης δεν ηκουετο? οθεν ο Ηλει ενομισεν οτι ητο μεθυσμενη.
14 said to her, "How long will you make a drunken show of yourself? Sober up from your wine!"	14 Και ειπε προς αυτην ο Ηλει, Εως ποτε θελεις εισθαι μεθυουσα; αποβαλε τον οινον σου απο σου.
15 "It isn't that, my lord," Hannah answered. "I am an unhappy woman. I have had neither wine nor liquor; I was only pouring out my troubles to the LORD.	15 Και απεκριθη η Αννα και ειπεν, Ουχι, κυριε μου, εγω ειμαι γυνη κατατεθλιμμενη την ψυχην? ουτε οινον ουτε σικερα δεν επιον, αλλ' εξεχεα την ψυχην μου ενωπιον του Κυριου?
16 Do not think your handmaid a ne'er-do-well; my prayer has been prompted by my deep sorrow and misery."	16 μη υπολαβης την δουλην σου ως αχρειαν γυναικα? διοτι εκ του πληθους του πονου μου και της θλιψεως μου ελαλησα εως τωρα.
17 Eli said, "Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of him."	17 Τοτε απεκριθη ο Ηλει και ειπεν, Υπαγε εις ειρηνην? και ο Θεος του Ισραηλ ας σοι δωση την αιτησιν σου, την οποιαν ητησας παρ' αυτου.
18 She replied, "Think kindly of your maidservant," and left. She went to her quarters, ate and drank with her husband, and no longer appeared downcast.	18 Η δε ειπεν, Ειθε η δουλη σου να ευρη χαριν εις τους οφθαλμους σου. Τοτε απηλθεν η γυνη εις την οδον αυτης και εφαγε, και το προσωπον αυτης δεν ητο πλεον σκυθρωπον.
19 Early the next morning they worshiped before the LORD, and then returned to their home in Ramah. When Elkanah had relations with his wife Hannah, the LORD remembered her.	19 Και το πρωι εσηκωθησαν ενωρις, και προσκυνησαντες ενωπιον του Κυριου, επεστρεψαν και ηλθον εις την οικιαν αυτων εις Ραμαθ. Και ο Ελκανα εγνωρισεν Ανναν την γυναικα αυτου? και ο Κυριος ενεθυμηθη αυτην.
20 She conceived, and at the end of her term bore a son whom she called Samuel, since she had asked the LORD for him.	20 Και οτε επληρωθησαν αι ημεραι αφοτου η Αννα συνελαβεν, εγεννησεν υιον και εκαλεσε το ονομα αυτου Σαμουηλ, Διοτι παρα Κυριου ητησα αυτον, ειπε.
21 The next time her husband Elkanah was going up with the rest of his household to offer the customary sacrifice to the LORD and to fulfill his vows,	21 Και ανεβη ο ανθρωπος Ελκανα και πας ο οικος αυτου, δια να προσφερη προς τον Κυριον την ετησιον θυσιαν και την ευχην αυτου.
22 Hannah did not go, explaining to her husband, "Once the child is weaned, I will take him to appear before the LORD and to remain there forever; I will offer him as a perpetual nazirite."	22 Αλλ' η Αννα δεν ανεβη? διοτι ειπε προς τον ανδρα αυτης, Δεν θελω αναβη εωσου το παιδιον απογαλακτισθη? και τοτε θελω φερει αυτο, δια να εμφανισθη ενωπιον του Κυριου και εκει να κατοικη διαπαντος.
23 Her husband Elkanah answered her: "Do what you think best; wait until you have weaned him. Only, may the LORD bring your resolve to fulfillment!" And so she remained at home and nursed her son until she had weaned him.	23 Και ειπε προς αυτην Ελκανα ο ανηρ αυτης, Καμε ο, τι σοι φαινεται καλον? καθου εωσου απογαλακτισης αυτο? μονον ο Κυριος να εκπληρωση τον λογον αυτου. Και εκαθισεν η γυνη και εθηλαζε τον υιον αυτης, εωσου απεγαλακτισεν αυτον.
24 Once he was weaned, she brought him up with her, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine, and presented him at the temple of the LORD in Shiloh.	24 Και αφου απεγαλακτισεν αυτον, ανεβιβασεν αυτον μεθ' εαυτης, μετα τριων μοσχων και ενος εφα αλευρου και ασκου οινου, και εφερεν αυτον εις τον οικον του Κυριου εν Σηλω? το δε παιδιον ητο μικρον.
25 After the boy's father had sacrificed the young bull, Hannah, his mother, approached Eli	25 Και εσφαξαν τον μοσχον και εφεραν το παιδιον προς τον Ηλει.
26 and said: "Pardon, my lord! As you live my lord, I am the woman who stood near you here, praying to the LORD.	26 Και ειπεν η Αννα, Ω, κυριε μου ζη η ψυχη σου, κυριε μου, εγω ειμαι η γυνη, ητις εσταθη ενταυθα πλησιον σου, δεομενη του Κυριου?
27 I prayed for this child, and the LORD granted my request.	27 περι του παιδιου τουτου εδεομην? και ο Κυριος εδωκεν εις εμε την αιτησιν μου, την οποιαν ητησα παρ' αυτου?
28 Now I, in turn, give him to the LORD; as long as he lives, he shall be dedicated to the LORD." She left him there;	28 οθεν και εγω εδανεισα αυτο εις τον Κυριον? πασας τας ημερας της ζωης αυτου θελει εισθαι δανεισμενον εις τον Κυριον. Και προσεκυνησεν εκει τον Κυριον.
