find servant_of,your graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty in/on/at/with,sight_of,your
See the discussion in the Introduction to 1 Samuel of this use of the term eyes. Hannah is using the term by association to mean Eli’s judgment or opinion. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [May your maidservant find favor in your judgment] or [May you think favorably of your maidservant]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
שִׁפְחָתְךָ֛
servant_of,your
Hannah is speaking about herself humbly in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: [me, your maidservant]
Note 3 topic: translate-symaction
וַתֹּאכַ֔ל
and=she/it_ate
Hannah ate as a symbolic action that showed she was no longer too distressed to eat. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. Alternate translation: [and she began eating again, showing that she was no longer distressed]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וּפָנֶ֥יהָ לֹא־הָיוּ־לָ֖הּ עֽוֹד
and,face_of,her not they_were to/for=her/it again/more
The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. You could also express the meaning in plain language. Alternate translation: [And her sad face was no longer to her] or [And her face was no longer sad]
1:17-18 A blessing was more than mere wishful thinking. It was often God’s means of conferring a real benefit (see, e.g., Gen 27:1-40; 28:1-4; 32:22-32; 48:1–49:28). Because this blessing from God’s high priest provided assurance that Hannah’s prayer would be answered, she was no longer sad.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
