1 And_he/it_was a_man one from the_Ramatayim Tsōfīm/(Zophim) from_hill of_ʼEfrayim and_his/its_name was_ʼElqānāh the_son_of Yəroḩām/(Jeroham) the_son_of ʼElīhū the_son_of Toḩū the_son_of Tsūf/(Zuph) an_ʼEfrātī.
2 And_to/for_him/it two_of wives the_name_of one was_Ḩannāh and_name_of the_second(fs) was_Fəninnāh and_he/it_was to/for_Fəninnāh children and_to/for_Ḩannāh there_belonged_not children.
3 And_he/it_would_go_up the_man (the)_that from_his_of_city from_days to_days to_bow_down and_to_sacrifice to/for_YHWH hosts in_Shiloh and_there the_two_of the_sons_of ˊĒlī Ḩāfənī and_Pinehas were_priests to/for_YHWH.
4 And_he/it_was the_day and_ ʼElqānāh _he/it_sacrificed and_he/it_gave to/for_Fəninnāh his/its_wife/woman and_to/for_all her/its_sons/descendants and_her/its_daughters portions.
5 And_to/for_Ḩannāh he_gave a_portion one double if/because DOM Ḩannāh he_loved and_YHWH he_had_closed her_womb/uterus.
6 And_she_provoked_her rival_of_her also provocation in_account_of to_disconcert_her/it if/because YHWH he_had_closed behind her_womb/uterus.
7 And_thus/so/as_follows he_did a_year in_year from_sufficiency she_ascended in_house_of YHWH thus she/it_provoked_her/it and_she/it_wept and_not she_ate.
8 And_he/it_said to/for_her/it ʼElqānāh her/its_husband/man Oh_Ḩannāh to/for_what_(why) are_you_weeping and_to/for_what_(why) not are_you_eating and_to/for_what_(why) is_it_sad your(fs)_heart am_not am_I good to/for_you(fs) from_ten sons.
9 And_ Ḩannāh _she/it_arose after had_eaten in_Shiloh and_after had_drunk and_ˊĒlī the_priest/officer was_sitting on the_seat at the_doorpost_of the_temple_of YHWH.
10 And_she was_bitter_of soul and_she/it_prayed to YHWH and_weeping she_wept.
11 And_she/it_vowed a_vow and_she/it_said Oh_YHWH hosts if really_(look) you_will_look in_the_affliction your(ms)_female_slave and_you(ms)_will_remember_me and_not you_will_forget DOM your(ms)_female_slave and_you(ms)_will_give to/for_your(ms)_female_slave offspring_of men and_I_will_give_him/it to/for_YHWH all_of the_days_of his/its_life and_(a)_razor not it_will_go_up on his/its_head.
12 And_it_was if/because she_had_increased to_pray to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH and_ˊĒlī was_watching DOM her/its_mouth.
13 And_Ḩannāh she was_speaking to her/its_heart only her/its_lips were_quivering and_her/its_voice not it_was_heard and_he/it_considered_her/it ˊĒlī to_be_drunk(fs).
14 And_he/it_said to_her/it ˊĒlī until when will_you(fs)_be_drunk remove DOM wine_of_your from_with_you.
15 And_ Ḩannāh _she_answered and_she/it_said no my_master am_a_woman hard_of spirit I and_wine and_strong_drink not I_have_drunk and_I_have_poured_out DOM soul_of_my to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH.
16 Do_not give DOM maidservant_of_your to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before a_daughter_of worthlessness if/because from_the_greatness_of my_complaint_of_of and_my_of_provocation I_have_spoken until now.
17 And_ ˊĒlī _he_answered and_he/it_said go to_peace and_the_god_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) may_he_grant DOM petition_of_your which you_have_asked from_with_him.
18 And_she/it_said maidservant_of_your may_she_find favour in_your_two’s_of_eyes and_she_went the_woman to_her_of_way and_she/it_ate and_her_of_face not they_were to/for_her/it still.
19 And_they_rose_early in_morning and_they_bowed_down to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH and_they_returned and_they_came to house_of_their to_(the)_Rāmāh and_ ʼElqānāh _he/it_knew DOM Ḩannāh his/its_wife/woman and_he_remembered_her YHWH.
20 And_he/it_was to_the_circuit(s)_of the_days and_ Ḩannāh _she/it_conceived/became_pregnant and_she/it_gave_birth a_son and_she/it_called/named DOM his/its_name Shəmūʼēl/(Samuel) if/because from_YHWH I_asked_for_him.
21 And_he/it_ascended the_man ʼElqānāh and_all household_of_his to_sacrifice to/for_YHWH DOM the_sacrifice_of the_days and_DOM vow_of_his.
22 And_Ḩannāh not she_went_up if/because she_said to/for_her/its_man/husband until he_will_be_weaned the_lad and_I_will_take_him and_he_will_present_himself with the_presence_of YHWH and_he_will_dwell there until perpetuity.
23 And_he/it_said to/for_her/it ʼElqānāh her/its_husband/man do the_good in_your_two’s_of_eyes remain until you_wean DOM_him/it only YHWH may_he_carry_out DOM message_of_his and_she_remained the_woman and_she_nursed DOM son_of_her until she_had_weaned DOM_him/it.
24 And_she_brought_him_up with_her/it just_as she_had_weaned_him with_young_bulls three and_an_ʼēyfāh one flour and_a_jar_of wine and_she_took_him the_house_of YHWH Shiloh and_the_lad was_a_lad.
25 And_they_slaughtered DOM the_young_bull and_they_brought DOM the_lad to ˊĒlī.
26 And_she/it_said pardon_me my_master by_the_life your_self_of_of my_master I the_woman who_stood with_you in_this_place to_pray to YHWH.
27 Concerning the_lad the_this I_prayed and_ YHWH _he/it_gave to_me DOM petition_of_my which I_asked from_with_him.
28 And_also I I_entrust_him to/for_YHWH all_of the_days which he_has_been he is_asked to/for_YHWH and_he_bowed_down there to/for_YHWH.
2 and_ Ḩannāh _she/it_prayed and_she/it_said heart_of_my it_exults in_YHWH horn_of_my it_is_exalted in_YHWH mouth_of_my it_has_opened_wide on enemies_of_my if/because I_rejoiced in_your_of_deliverance.
2 There_is_not a_holy_ like_YHWH if/because there_is_not except_you and_there_is_not a_rock like_our_of_god.
3 Do_not multiply you(pl)_will_speak haughty haughty it_goes_out arrogant_speech from_your_of_mouth if/because is_a_god_of knowledge(s) YHWH and_by[fn] deeds they_are_measured.
4 the_bow_of warriors are_shattered and_those_who_stumble they_gird_on strength.
5 Satisfied_ for_food they_hire_themselves_out and_hungry_ they_cease to a_barren_ she_bears seven_children and_a_woman_many_of sons she_languishes.
6 YHWH is_killing and_he_is_restoring_to_life he_is_bringing_down Shəʼōl and_he_has_brought_up.
7 YHWH is_making_poor and_he_is_making_rich he_is_bringing_low also he_is_exalting.
8 he_is_raising_up from_the_dust the_poor from_the_ash_heap he_lifts_up the_needy to_cause_them_to_dwell with noble_ and_a_throne_of honour he_makes_them_inherit if/because to/for_YHWH the_pillars_of the_earth and_he_set on_them the_world.
9 The_feet_of his_faithful_of_[fn] he_protects and_wicked_ in_darkness they_perish if/because not by_strength he_prevails anyone.
10 YHWH they_are_shattered those_of_who_contend_against_him[fn] him_on[fn] in_heavens he_thunders YHWH he_judges the_ends_of the_earth and_he_gives strength to_his_of_king and_he_exalts the_horn_of his_anointed.
11 and_ ʼElqānāh _he/it_went to_(the)_Rāmāh on house_of_his and_the_lad he_was serving DOM YHWH with the_presence_of ˊĒlī the_priest/officer.
12 And_the_sons of_ˊĒlī were_sons_of worthlessness not they_knew DOM YHWH.
13 And_the_custom_of the_priests with the_people every_of person who_was_sacrificing a_sacrifice and_ the_servant_of _he_came the_priest/officer just_as_boiled the_meat and_the_fork the_three the_prongs in_his/its_hand.
14 And_he_thrust_ in_pot or in_pot or in_caldron or in_pot all that it_brought_up the_fork he_took the_priest/officer in/on/over_him/it thus they_did to/from_all/each/any/every Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) the_(ones_who)_went there in_Shiloh.
15 Also before they_made_smoke DOM the_fat and_he_came the_servant_of the_priest/officer and_saying(ms) to_person who_was_sacrificing give meat to_roast to_priest and_not he_will_accept from_you meat boiled if/because (if) raw.
16 And_he/it_said to_him/it the_man surely_(make_smoke) let_them_make_smoke as_day the_fat and_take to/for_yourself(m) just_as it_desires appetite_of_your and_saying(ms) mmm[fn] if/because now you_will_give_ and_if not I_take_ by_force.
17 And_it_became the_sin_of the_young_men great very with the_presence_of YHWH if/because they_treated_with_contempt the_men DOM the_offering_of YHWH.
18 And_Shəmūʼēl/(Samuel) was_serving DOM the_presence_of YHWH a_lad girded an_ephod_of linen.
19 And_a_robe small she_made for_him/it his/its_mother and_she_brought_it_up to_him/it from_days to_days when_she_went_up with her/its_husband/man to_sacrifice DOM the_sacrifice_of the_days.
20 And_ ˊĒlī _he_blessed DOM ʼElqānāh and_DOM his/its_wife/woman and_saying(ms) YHWH may_he_appoint to/for_yourself(m) offspring from the_woman (the)_this in_place_of the_petition which someone_asked to/for_YHWH and_they_went to_his_of_place.
21 If/because YHWH he_visited DOM Ḩannāh and_she/it_conceived/became_pregnant and_she/it_gave_birth three sons and_two_of daughters and_he_grew_up the_lad Shəmūʼēl with YHWH.
22 and_ˊĒlī he_was_old exceedingly and_he_heard DOM all_of that they_did sons_of_his to/from_all/each/any/every Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) and_DOM how they_were_lying with the_women who_were_serving the_opening_of the_tent_of meeting.
23 And_he/it_said to/for_them to/for_what are_you_doing according_the_things the_these that I am_hearing DOM things_of_your(pl) wicked from_with all_of the_people these.
24 No my_sons_of_Oh if/because is_not good the_report which I am_hearing are_spreading the_people_of YHWH.
25 If he_will_sin a_person to_a_person and_he_will_mediate_for_him god and_if to/for_YHWH he_will_sin a_person who will_he_intercede to_him/it and_not they_listened to_sound/voice their_father_of_of if/because YHWH he_desired to_put_them_to_death.
26 And_the_lad Shəmūʼēl/(Samuel) was_going and_was_growing_up and_he_was_good both with YHWH and_also with people.
27 and_ a_man_of _he_came god to ˊĒlī and_he/it_said to_him/it thus YHWH he_says indeed_(reveal) did_I_reveal_myself to the_house_of I_will_show_you(ms) on_their_being in_Miʦrayim/(Egypt) to_the_house_of Parˊoh.
28 And_I_chose DOM_him/it from_all the_tribes_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) to_me to_a_priest to_go_up on altar_of_my to_make_smoke incense to_bear an_ephod before_me and_I_gave to_the_house_of I_will_show_you(ms) DOM all_of the_fire_offerings_of the_people_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel).
29 To/for_what do_you(pl)_kick at_my_of_sacrifice and_at_my_of_offering which I_commanded a_dwelling_place and_do_you_honour DOM sons_of_your more_than_me by_making_yourselves_fat from_the_choicest_of every_of (the)_offering_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) of_my_of_people.
30 For_so/thus/hence the_utterance_of YHWH the_god_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) indeed_(say) I_said house_of_your and_the_house_of I_will_show_you(ms) they_will_walk_about to/for_my_face/front until perpetuity and_now the_utterance_of YHWH far_be_it to/for_me if/because those_of_who_honour_me I_will_honour and_those_of_who_despise_me they_will_be_insignificant.
31 Here days are_coming and_I_will_cut_off DOM arm_of_your and_DOM the_arm_of the_house_of I_will_show_you(ms) from_being an_old_man in_your_of_house.
32 And_you_will_look_at the_distress_of a_dwelling_place in_all that he_will_do_good_to DOM Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) and_not he_will_be an_old_man in_your_of_house all_of the_days.
33 And_a_man not I_will_cut_off to/for_yourself(m) from_with altar_of_my to_cause_to_fail DOM eyes_of_your and_to_cause_to_grieve DOM self_of_your and_all the_increase_of your_house_of_of they_will_die men.
34 And_this for_you will_be_the_sign which it_will_come to the_two_of sons_of_your to Ḩāfənī and_Pinḩāş in/on_day one they_will_die both_of_of_them.
35 And_I_will_raise_up to_me a_priest faithful just_as is_in_my_of_heart and_in_my_of_soul he_will_act and_I_will_build to_him/it a_house enduring and_he_will_walk_about[fn] to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before my_of_anointed all_of the_days.
36 And_it_was every_of (the)_one_who_remains in_your_of_house he_will_come to_bow_down to_him/it for_a_payment_of silver and_a_round_loaf_of bread and_saying(ms) attach_me please to one of_the_priesthoods to_eat a_piece_of bread.
3 and_the_lad Shəmūʼēl/(Samuel) was_serving DOM YHWH to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before ˊĒlī and_the_message_of YHWH it_was rare in_the_days the_those there_was_not vision spread_out.
2 and_he/it_was in_the_day (the)_that and_ˊĒlī was_lying in_his_of_place[fn] and_his_of_eyes[fn] they_began dim not he_was_able to_see.
3 And_the_lamp_of god not_yet it_was_extinguished and_Shəmūʼēl was_lying in_(the)_palace of_YHWH where was_there the_box_of god.
4 and_ YHWH _he/it_called to Shəmūʼēl and_he/it_said here_I_am.
5 And_he_ran to ˊĒlī and_he/it_said here_I_am if/because you_summoned to/for_me and_he/it_said not I_summoned return lie_down and_he/it_went and_he_lay_down.
6 and_ YHWH _he_repeated to_call again Shəmūʼēl and_ Shəmūʼēl _he/it_rose_up and_he/it_went to ˊĒlī and_he/it_said here_I_am if/because you_summoned to_me and_he/it_said not I_summoned my_son_of_Oh return lie_down.
7 And_Shəmūʼēl not_yet he_knew DOM YHWH and_not_yet it_was_revealed to_him/it the_message_of YHWH.
8 And_ YHWH _he_repeated to_call Shəmūʼēl/(Samuel) at_ and_he/it_rose_up and_he/it_went to ˊĒlī and_he/it_said here_I_am if/because you_summoned to_me and_ ˊĒlī _he_understood if/because_that YHWH was_summoning (to)_lad.
9 And_ ˊĒlī _he/it_said to_Shəmūʼēl go lie_down and_it_was if he_will_call to_you and_you_will_say speak Oh_YHWH if/because is_listening servant_of_your and_ Shəmūʼēl _he/it_went and_he_lay_down in_his_of_place.
10 And_ YHWH _he_came and_he_stood and_he/it_called as_time on_time Oh_Shəmūʼēl Oh_Shəmūʼēl and_ Shəmūʼēl _he/it_said speak if/because servant_of_your is_listening.
11 and_ YHWH _he/it_said to Shəmūʼēl here I am_about_to_do a_thing in_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) which every_of one_of_who_hears_it they_will_tingle the_two_of ears_of_his.
12 In_the_day (the)_that I_will_carry_out against ˊĒlī DOM all_of that I_have_spoken against house_of_his beginning and_ending.
13 And_I_tell to_him/it if/because_that am_about_to_judge I DOM house_of_his until perpetuity for_the_iniquity_of which he_knew if/because were_bringing_a_curse to/for_them sons_of_his and_not he_rebuked (in)_them.
14 And_therefore I_swear to_the_house_of ˊĒlī if it_will_be_atoned_for the_iniquity_of the_house_of ˊĒlī by_sacrifice and_by_an_offering until perpetuity.
15 And_ Shəmūʼēl/(Samuel) _he_lay until the_morning and_he_opened DOM the_doors_of the_house_of YHWH and_Shəmūʼēl he_was_afraid from_telling DOM the_vision to ˊĒlī.
16 And_ ˊĒlī _he/it_called DOM Shəmūʼēl and_he/it_said Oh_Shəmūʼēl son_of_my and_he/it_said here_I_am.
17 And_he/it_said what was_the_message which he_spoke to_you do_not please hide_ from_me thus may_he_do to_you god and_thus may_he_add if you_will_hide from_me a_message from_all (the)_message which he_spoke to_you.
18 And_he_told to_him/it Shəmūʼēl DOM all_of the_words/messages and_not he_hid_them from_him/it and_he_said is_YHWH he the_good in_his_of_eyes[fn] let_him_do.
19 and_ Shəmūʼēl _he_grew_up and_YHWH he_was with_him/it and_not he_made_fall from_all words/messages_of_his ground_to_the.
20 And_ all_of _he/it_knew Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) from_Dān and_unto Bəʼēr Sheⱱaˊ if/because_that Shəmūʼēl was_established to_a_prophet to/for_YHWH.
21 And_ YHWH _he_repeated to_appear in_Shiloh if/because YHWH he_revealed_himself to Shəmūʼēl/(Samuel) at_Shiloh by_the_message_of YHWH.
4 and_ the_message_of _he/it_was of_Shəmūʼēl to/from_all/each/any/every Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) and_ Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) _he/it_went_out to_ the_Fəlishtiy _meet for_battle and_they_encamped at (the) ezer and_the_Fəlishtiy they_encamped at_ʼAfēq.
2 And_ the_Fəlishtiy _they_deployed to_ Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) _meet and_it_spread_out the_battle and_ Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) _it_was_defeated to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the_Fəlishtiy and_they_struck_down in_line in_the_field about_four_of thousand(s) man.
3 And_it_came the_people into the_camp and_they_said the_elders_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) to/for_what has_he_defeated_us YHWH the_day to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the_Fəlishtiy let_us_bring to_ourselves from_Shiloh DOM the_box_of the_covenant_of YHWH so_that_it_may_come in_our_of_midst and_so_that_it_may_deliver_us from_the_palm_of our_enemies_of_of.
4 And_it_sent the_people Shiloh and_they_brought from_there DOM the_box_of the_covenant_of YHWH hosts who_sits_of the_cherubims and_there the_two_of the_sons_of ˊĒlī were_with the_box_of the_covenant_of the_ʼElohīm Ḩāfənī and_Pinḩāş.
5 And_he/it_was just_as_came the_box_of the_covenant_of YHWH into the_camp and_ all_of _they_shouted Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) a_shout great and_it_was_stirred the_earth/land.
6 And_ the_Fəlishtiy _they_heard DOM the_sound_of the_shout and_they_said what is_the_sound_of the_shout (the)_great (the)_this in_the_camp_of the_ˊIⱱrī/(Hebrews) and_they_knew if/because_that the_box_of YHWH it_had_come into the_camp.
7 And_they_saw the_Fəlishtiy if/because they_said a_god he_has_come into the_camp and_they_said woe to/for_us if/because not it_has_been like_this yesterday three_days_ago.
8 Woe to/for_us who will_he_deliver_us from_the_hand_of the_ʼElohīm (the)_mighty the_these these they the_ʼElohīm who_struck DOM Miʦrayim/(Egypt) in_all plague in_wilderness.
9 Show_yourselves_strong and_become (into)_men Oh_Fəlishtiy lest you(pl)_should_serve (to)_ˊIⱱrī just_as they_have_served to/for_you(pl) and_you(pl)_will_be (into)_men and_you(pl)_will_fight.
10 And_ the_Fəlishtiy _they_fought and_ Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) _it_was_defeated and_they_fled each_man to_his_own_of_tents and_it_became the_defeat great exceedingly and_he_fell of_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) thirty thousand foot_soldier[s].
11 And_the_box_of god it_was_taken and_the_two_of the_sons_of ˊĒlī they_died Ḩāfənī and_Pinḩāş.
12 And_ the_man_of _he_ran of_Binyāmīn from_the_battle_line and_he_came Shiloh in_the_day (the)_that and_his_of_garments were_torn and_earth was_on his/its_head.
13 And_he_came and_see/lo/see ˊĒlī was_sitting on the_seat the_side_of[fn] the_road watching if/because it_was his/its_heart trembling on the_box_of the_ʼElohīm and_the_man he_came to_announce in_city and_ all_of _it_cried_out the_city.
14 And_ ˊĒlī _he/it_listened DOM the_sound_of the_outcry and_he/it_said what is_the_sound_of the_uproar the_this and_the_man he_hurried and_he_came and_he_told to_ˊĒlī.
15 And_ˊĒlī was_a_son_of ninety and_eight year[s] and_his_of_eyes it_was_set and_not he_was_able to_see.
16 And_he/it_said the_man to ˊĒlī I am_the_one_who_comes from the_battle_line and_I from the_battle_line I_have_fled the_day and_he/it_said what was_it the_message my_son_of_Oh.
17 And_he_answered the_bearer_news and_he/it_said Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) it_has_fled to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the_Fəlishtiy and_also a_slaughter great it_has_been among_people and_also the_two_of sons_of_your they_have_died Ḩāfənī and_Pinḩāş and_the_box_of the_ʼElohīm it_has_been_taken.
18 and_he/it_was just_as_he_brought_to_remembrance DOM the_box_of the_ʼElohīm and_he_fell from_under the_seat backwards behind the_side_of the_gate neck_of_his and_it_was_broken and_he/it_died if/because he_was_old the_man and_heavy and_he he_had_judged DOM Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) forty year[s].
