Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
קֶ֥שֶׁת גִּבֹּרִ֖ים חַתִּ֑ים
bows_of mighty broken
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. The context suggests that Yahweh is the agent. Alternate translation: [Yahweh breaks the bow of the mighty]
Note 2 topic: grammar-collectivenouns
The bow of
(Some words not found in UHB: bows_of mighty broken and,feeble gird_on strength )
Since Hannah is referring to a group of people, it may be more natural in your language to use the plural form of bow. Alternate translation: [The bows of]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
גִּבֹּרִ֖ים
mighty
Hannah is using the adjective mighty as a noun to mean people of a certain type. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [mighty people]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְנִכְשָׁלִ֖ים
and,feeble
Hannah assumes that readers will know that by the stumbling ones, she means people who are so weak that they can barely walk. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [but those who were so weak that they could barely walk]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אָ֥זְרוּ חָֽיִל
gird_on strength
Hannah is speaking as if strength were a piece of clothing that people could put on. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [become strong]
2:1-10 Hannah’s Prayer of Praise celebrates Samuel’s dedication to the Lord’s service by rejoicing in God’s uniqueness (2:1-2), his ability to reverse fortunes (2:3-9), and his ability to strengthen his chosen king (2:10). Like Mary’s Song of Praise (Luke 1:46-55), Hannah’s prayer emphasizes God bringing down the rich and powerful and exalting the poor and the downtrodden (1 Sam 2:7-8; Luke 1:52-53). David’s prayer in 2 Sam 22 is another beautiful proclamation of God’s saving power as it relates to his chosen king (1 Sam 2:10). The rich, unrighteous rulers of the land (Eli, Saul, Herod) will be brought down, while the leaders who fulfill God’s purposes (Samuel, David, Jesus) will be exalted.
