1 SAM 1:8 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

BrLXX Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Ἑλκανὰ ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς, Ἄννα· καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, ἰδοὺ ἐγώ, κύριε· καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ, τί ἐστί σοι ὅτι κλαίεις; καὶ ἱνατί οὐκ ἐσθίεις; καὶ ἱνατί τύπτει σε ἡ καρδία σου; οὐκ ἀγαθὸς ἐγώ σοι ὑπὲρ δέκα τέκνα;

חַנָּה֙ לָ֣⁠מֶה תִבְכִּ֗י וְ⁠לָ֨⁠מֶה֙ לֹ֣א תֹֽאכְלִ֔י וְ⁠לָ֖⁠מֶה יֵרַ֣ע לְבָבֵ֑⁠ךְ הֲ⁠ל֤וֹא אָֽנֹכִי֙ ט֣וֹב לָ֔⁠ךְ מֵ⁠עֲשָׂרָ֖ה בָּנִֽים

Ḩannāh to/for=what_(why) you(fs)_weep and=to/for=what_(why) not eat and=to/for=what_(why) is_sad your(fs)=heart am=not I good to/for=you(fs) from=ten sons

Elkanah is using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [Hannah, you should not weep. You should eat. Your heart should not be bad. I am better for you than ten sons!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠לָ֖⁠מֶה יֵרַ֣ע לְבָבֵ֑⁠ךְ

and=to/for=what_(why) is_sad your(fs)=heart

Elkanah is using a common expression of his culture to mean that Hannah feeling badly. He does not mean that she is entertaining any wrong thoughts. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And why are you feeling badly]
