CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAINNOVA VULGATA
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 Fuit vir unus de Ramathaim Suphita de monte Ephraim, et nomen eius Elcana filius Ieroham filii Eliu filii Thohu filii Suph, Ephrathaeus.
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 Et habuit duas uxores: nomen uni Anna et nomen secundae Phenenna. Fueruntque Phenennae filii, Annae autem non erant liberi.
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 Et ascendebat vir ille de civitate sua singulis annis, ut adoraret et sacrificaret Domino exercituum in Silo. Erant autem ibi duo filii Heli, Ophni et Phinees, sacerdotes Domini.
4 Then the day arrived, and Elkanah immolated. And he gave portions to his wife Peninnah, and to all her sons and daughters.4 Venit ergo dies, et immolavit Elcana dabatque Phenennae uxori suae et cunctis filiis eius et filiabus partes;
5 But to Hannah he gave one portion with sorrow. For he loved Hannah, but the Lord had closed her womb.5 Annae autem dabat unam partem electam, quia Annam diligebat; Dominus autem concluserat vulvam eius.
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 Affligebat quoque eam aemula eius et vehementer angebat, ut conturbaret eam, quod conclusisset Dominus vulvam eius.
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 Sicque faciebat per singulos annos, cum, redeunte tempore, ascenderent templum Domini, et sic provocabat eam. Porro illa flebat et non capiebat cibum.
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 Dixit ergo ei Elcana vir suus: “ Anna, cur fles et quare non comedis? Et quam ob rem affligitur cor tuum? Numquid non ego melior sum tibi quam decem filii? ”.
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 Surrexit autem Anna, postquam comederant et biberant in Silo, et Heli sacerdote sedente super sellam ante postes templi Domini.
10 And since Hannah was bitter in soul, she prayed to the Lord, weeping greatly.10 Cum esset Anna amaro animo, oravit Dominum flens largiter
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 et votum vovit dicens: “ Domine exercituum, si respiciens videris afflictionem famulae tuae et recordatus mei fueris nec oblitus ancillae tuae dederisque servae tuae sexum virilem, dabo eum Domino omnes dies vitae eius, et novacula non ascendet super caput eius ”.
12 Then it happened that, while she multiplied prayers before the Lord, Eli observed her mouth.12 Factum est ergo, cum illa multiplicaret preces coram Domino, ut Heli observaret os eius.
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 Porro Anna loquebatur in corde suo; tantumque labia illius movebantur, et vox penitus non audiebatur. Aestimavit igitur eam Heli temulentam
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 dixitque ei: “ Usquequo ebria eris? Digere paulisper vinum, quo mades! ”.
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 Respondens Anna: “ Nequaquam, inquit, domine mi; nam mulier infelix nimis ego sum: vinumque et omne, quod inebriare potest, non bibi, sed effudi animam meam in conspectu Domini.
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 Ne reputes ancillam tuam quasi unam de filiabus Belial, quia ex multitudine doloris et maeroris mei locuta sum usque in praesens ”.
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 Tunc Heli ait ei: “ Vade in pace, et Deus Israel det tibi petitionem, quam rogasti eum ”.
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 Et illa dixit: “ Utinam inveniat ancilla tua gratiam in oculis tuis ”. Et abiit mulier in viam suam et comedit; vultusque illius non fuerunt amplius sicut prius.
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 Et surrexerunt mane et adoraverunt coram Domino.
Reversique sunt et venerunt in domum suam in Rama. Cognovit autem Elcana Annam uxorem suam, et recordatus est eius Dominus.
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 Et factum est post circulum dierum concepit Anna et peperit filium vocavitque nomen eius Samuel, eo quod a Domino postulasset eum.
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 Ascendit autem vir Elcana et omnis domus eius, ut immolaret Domino hostiam annuam et votum suum.
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 Et Anna non ascendit; dixit enim viro suo: “ Non vadam, donec ablactetur infans, et ducam eum, et appareat ante conspectum Domini et maneat ibi iugiter ”.
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 Et ait ei Elcana vir suus: “ Fac, quod bonum tibi videtur, et mane, donec ablactes eum; precorque, ut impleat Dominus verbum suum ”. Mansit ergo mulier et lactavit filium suum, donec amoveret eum a lacte.
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 Et adduxit eum secum, postquam ablactaverat, cum vitulo trium annorum et tribus modiis farinae et utre vini; et adduxit eum ad domum Domini in Silo. Puer autem erat adhuc infantulus.
25 And they immolated a calf, and they presented the boy to Eli.25 Et immolaverunt vitulum et obtulerunt puerum Heli,
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 et ait Anna: “ Obsecro, mi domine; vivit anima tua, domine, ego sum illa mulier, quae steti coram te hic orans Dominum.
27 I prayed for this child, and the Lord granted to me my petition, which I asked of him.27 Pro puero isto oravi, et dedit mihi Dominus petitionem meam, quam postulavi eum.
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 Idcirco et ego commodavi eum Domino; cunctis diebus, quibus vivet, postulatus erit pro Domino ”.
Et adoraverunt ibi Dominum.
