1 Samuel 1

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 There was a man of Ramathaim, a Zuphite from the highlands of Ephraim whose name was Elkanahson 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 called Hannah, the other Peninnah; Peninnah had children but Hannah hadnone.	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 Every year this man used to go up from his town to worship, and to sacrifice to Yahweh Sabaoth atShiloh. (The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there as priests of Yahweh.)	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 One day Elkanah offered a sacrifice. Now he used to give portions to Peninnah and to al her sons anddaughters;	4 και εγενηθη ημερα και εθυσεν ελκανα και εδωκεν τη φεννανα γυναικι αυτου και τοις υιοις αυτης και ταις θυγατρασιν αυτης μεριδας
5 to Hannah, however, he would give only one portion: for, although he loved Hannah more, Yahweh hadmade 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 Furthermore, her rival would taunt and provoke her, because Yahweh had made her womb 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 And this went on year after year; every time they went up to the temple of Yahweh she used to taunther. On that day she wept and would not eat anything;	7 ουτως εποιει ενιαυτον κατ' ενιαυτον εν τω αναβαινειν αυτην εις οικον κυριου και ηθυμει και εκλαιεν και ουκ ησθιεν
8 so her husband Elkanah said, 'Hannah, why are you crying? Why are you not eating anything? Why areyou so sad? 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 When they had finished eating in the room, Hannah got up and stood before Yahweh. Eli the priest wassitting on his seat by the doorpost of the temple of Yahweh.	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 the bitterness of her soul she prayed to Yahweh with many tears,	10 και αυτη κατωδυνος ψυχη και προσηυξατο προς κυριον και κλαιουσα εκλαυσεν
11 and she made this vow, 'Yahweh Sabaoth! Should you condescend to notice the humiliation of yourservant and keep her in mind instead of disregarding your servant, and give her a boy, I wil give him to Yahwehfor the whole of his life and no razor shal 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 While she went on praying to Yahweh, Eli was watching her mouth,	12 και εγενηθη οτε επληθυνεν προσευχομενη ενωπιον κυριου και ηλι ο ιερευς εφυλαξεν το στομα αυτης
13 for Hannah was speaking under her breath; her lips were moving but her voice could not be heard,and Eli thought that she was 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 Eli said, 'How much longer are you going to stay drunk? Get rid of your wine.'	14 και ειπεν αυτη το παιδαριον ηλι εως ποτε μεθυσθηση περιελου τον οινον σου και πορευου εκ προσωπου κυριου
15 'No, my lord,' Hannah replied, 'I am a woman in great trouble; I have not been drinking wine or strongdrink -- I am pouring out my soul before Yahweh.	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 take your servant for a worthless woman; al this time I have been speaking from the depth ofmy grief and my resentment.'	16 μη δως την δουλην σου εις θυγατερα λοιμην οτι εκ πληθους αδολεσχιας μου εκτετακα εως νυν
17 Eli then replied, 'Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant 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 To which she said, 'May your servant find favour in your sight.' With that, the woman went away; shebegan eating and was dejected no longer.	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 They got up early in the morning and, after worshipping Yahweh, set out and went home to Ramah.Elkanah lay with his wife Hannah, and Yahweh 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 Hannah conceived and, in due course, gave birth to a son, whom she named Samuel, 'since', shesaid, 'I asked Yahweh 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 Elkanah, the husband, went up with all his family to offer the annual sacrifice to Yahweh and to fulfilhis vow.	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 However, Hannah did not go up, having said to her husband, 'Not before the child has been weaned.Then I shal bring him and present him before Yahweh and he will stay there for ever.'	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 Elkanah her husband then said to her, 'Do what you think fit; wait until you have weaned him. MayYahweh bring about what he has said.' So the woman stayed behind and nursed her child until she 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 When she had weaned him, she took him up with her, as wel as a three-year-old bul , an ephah offlour and a skin of wine, and took him into the temple of Yahweh at Shiloh; the child was very young.	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 They sacrificed the bul and led the child to 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 She said, 'If you please, my lord! As you live, my lord, I am the woman who stood beside you here,praying to Yahweh.	26 και ειπεν εν εμοι κυριε ζη η ψυχη σου εγω η γυνη η καταστασα ενωπιον σου εν τω προσευξασθαι προς κυριον
27 This is the child for which I was praying, and Yahweh has granted me what I asked of him.	27 υπερ του παιδαριου τουτου προσηυξαμην και εδωκεν μοι κυριος το αιτημα μου ο ητησαμην παρ' αυτου
28 Now I make him over to Yahweh for the whole of his life. He is made over to Yahweh.' They thenworshipped Yahweh there.	28 καγω κιχρω αυτον τω κυριω πασας τας ημερας ας ζη αυτος χρησιν τω κυριω
