1 Samuel 1

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
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 ανθρωπος ην εξ αρμαθαιμ σιφα εξ ορους εφραιμ και ονομα αυτω ελκανα υιος ιερεμεηλ υιου ηλιου υιου θοκε εν νασιβ εφραιμ
2 He had two wives, one named Hannah, the other Peninnah; Peninnah had children, but Hannah was childless.	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
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 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
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 και εγενηθη ημερα και εθυσεν ελκανα και εδωκεν τη φεννανα γυναικι αυτου και τοις υιοις αυτης και ταις θυγατρασιν αυτης μεριδας
5 but a double portion to Hannah because he loved her, though the LORD had made her barren.	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
6 Her rival, to upset her, turned it into a constant reproach to her that the LORD had left her barren.	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
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 ουτως εποιει ενιαυτον κατ' ενιαυτον εν τω αναβαινειν αυτην εις οικον κυριου και ηθυμει και εκλαιεν και ουκ ησθιεν
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 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
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 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
10 In her bitterness she prayed to the LORD, weeping copiously,	10 και αυτη κατωδυνος ψυχη και προσηυξατο προς κυριον και κλαιουσα εκλαυσεν
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 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
12 As she remained long at prayer before the LORD, Eli watched her mouth,	12 και εγενηθη οτε επληθυνεν προσευχομενη ενωπιον κυριου και ηλι ο ιερευς εφυλαξεν 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 και αυτη ελαλει εν τη καρδια αυτης και τα χειλη αυτης εκινειτο και φωνη αυτης ουκ ηκουετο και ελογισατο αυτην ηλι εις μεθυουσαν
14 said to her, "How long will you make a drunken show of yourself? Sober up from your wine!"	14 και ειπεν αυτη το παιδαριον ηλι εως ποτε μεθυσθηση περιελου τον οινον σου και πορευου εκ προσωπου κυριου
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 αννα και ειπεν ουχι κυριε γυνη η σκληρα ημερα εγω ειμι και οινον και μεθυσμα ου πεπωκα και εκχεω την ψυχην μου ενωπιον 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 δως την δουλην σου εις θυγατερα λοιμην οτι εκ πληθους αδολεσχιας μου εκτετακα εως νυν
17 Eli said, "Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of him."	17 και απεκριθη ηλι και ειπεν αυτη πορευου εις ειρηνην ο θεος ισραηλ δωη σοι παν αιτημα σου ο ητησω 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 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
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 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
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 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
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 θυσαι εν σηλωμ την θυσιαν των ημερων και τας ευχας αυτου και πασας τας δεκατας της γης 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 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
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 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
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 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
25 After the boy's father had sacrificed the young bull, Hannah, his mother, approached Eli	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
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 εν εμοι κυριε ζη η ψυχη σου εγω η γυνη η καταστασα ενωπιον σου εν τω προσευξασθαι προς κυριον
27 I prayed for this child, and the LORD granted my request.	27 υπερ του παιδαριου τουτου προσηυξαμην και εδωκεν μοι κυριος το αιτημα μου ο ητησαμην 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 καγω κιχρω αυτον τω κυριω πασας τας ημερας ας ζη αυτος χρησιν τω κυριω
