Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
Yahweh makes die and makes alive, causing to go down to Sheol and causing to come up
(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH kills and,makes_alive brings_down shəʼōl and,raises_up )
Hannah 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. Alternate translation: [Yahweh kills people and makes people alive, causing people to go down to Sheol and causing people to come up from there]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וַיָּֽעַל
and,raises_up
Hannah is speaking as if people could come up from Sheol, the place of the dead. She means that Yahweh can heal people who are so sick they seem almost to have died. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and healing people with deadly illnesses so that it seems they have come back from the realm of the dead]
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.
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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
