1 Samuel 1

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
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.	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 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.	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 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.	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 Then the day arrived, and Elkanah immolated. And he gave portions 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 to Hannah he gave one portion with sorrow. For he loved Hannah, but the Lord had closed her womb.	5 εις δε την Ανναν εδωκε διπλασιαν μεριδα? διοτι ηγαπα την Ανναν? αλλ' ο Κυριος ειχε κλεισει την μητραν αυτης.
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.	6 Και η αντιζηλος αυτης παρωξυνεν αυτην σφοδρα, ωστε να καμνη αυτην να αδημονη, οτι ο Κυριος ειχε κλεισει την μητραν αυτης.
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.	7 Και ουτως εκαμνε κατ' ετος? οσακις ανεβαινεν εις τον οικον του Κυριου, ουτω παρωξυνεν αυτην? και εκεινη εκλαιε και δεν ετρωγεν.
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?”	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 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.	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 And since Hannah was bitter in soul, she prayed to the Lord, weeping greatly.	10 Και αυτη ητο καταπικραμενη την ψυχην και προσηυχετο εις τον Κυριον, κλαιουσα καθ' υπερβολην.
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.”	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 Then it happened that, while she multiplied prayers before the Lord, Eli observed her mouth.	12 Ενω δε αυτη εξηκολουθει προσευχομενη ενωπιον του Κυριου, ο Ηλει παρετηρει το στομα αυτης.
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,	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 and so he said to her: “How long will you be inebriated? You should take only a little wine, but instead you are drenched.”	14 Και ειπε προς αυτην ο Ηλει, Εως ποτε θελεις εισθαι μεθυουσα; αποβαλε τον οινον σου απο σου.
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.	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 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.”	16 μη υπολαβης την δουλην σου ως αχρειαν γυναικα? διοτι εκ του πληθους του πονου μου και της θλιψεως μου ελαλησα εως τωρα.
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.”	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 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.	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 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.	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 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.	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 Now her husband Elkanah ascended with his entire house, so that he might immolate to the Lord a solemn sacrifice, with his vow.	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 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.”	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 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.	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 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.	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 And they immolated a calf, and they presented the boy to Eli.	25 Και εσφαξαν τον μοσχον και εφεραν το παιδιον προς τον Ηλει.
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.	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 to me my petition, which I asked of him.	27 περι του παιδιου τουτου εδεομην? και ο Κυριος εδωκεν εις εμε την αιτησιν μου, την οποιαν ητησα παρ' αυτου?
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:	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.
