1  Now there was¹⁹⁶¹ a certain²⁵⁹ man³⁷⁶ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ Ramathaim-zophim,⁷⁴³⁶ of mount^{4480 2022} Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ and his name⁸⁰³⁴ was Elkanah,⁵¹¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Jeroham,³³⁹⁵ the son¹¹²¹ of Elihu,⁴⁵³ the son¹¹²¹ of Tohu,⁸⁴⁵⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Zuph,⁶⁶⁸⁹ an Ephrathite.⁶⁷³³

2  And he had two⁸¹⁴⁷ wives;⁸⁰² the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the one²⁵⁹ was Hannah,²⁵⁸⁴ and the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the other⁸¹⁴⁵ Peninnah:⁶⁴⁴⁴ and Peninnah⁶⁴⁴⁴ had¹⁹⁶¹ children,³²⁰⁶ but Hannah²⁵⁸⁴ had no³⁶⁹ children.³²⁰⁶

3  And this¹⁹³¹ man³⁷⁶ went up⁵⁹²⁷ out of his city^{4480 5892} yearly^{4480 3117 3117} to worship⁷⁸¹² and to sacrifice²⁰⁷⁶ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts⁶⁶³⁵ in Shiloh.⁷⁸⁸⁷ And the two⁸¹⁴⁷ sons¹¹²¹ of Eli,⁵⁹⁴¹ Hophni²⁶⁵² and Phinehas,⁶³⁷² the priests³⁵⁴⁸ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ were there.⁸⁰³³

4  And when the time³¹¹⁷ was¹⁹⁶¹ that Elkanah⁵¹¹ offered,²⁰⁷⁶ he gave⁵⁴¹⁴ to Peninnah⁶⁴⁴⁴ his wife,⁸⁰² and to all³⁶⁰⁵ her sons¹¹²¹ and her daughters,¹³²³ portions:⁴⁴⁹⁰

5  But unto Hannah²⁵⁸⁴ he gave⁵⁴¹⁴ a²⁵⁹ worthy⁶³⁹ portion;⁴⁴⁹⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ he loved^{157 853} Hannah:²⁵⁸⁴ but the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had shut up⁵⁴⁶² her womb.⁷³⁵⁸

6  And her adversary⁶⁸⁶⁹ also¹⁵⁷¹ provoked³⁷⁰⁷ her sore,³⁷⁰⁸ for to⁵⁶⁶⁸ make her fret,⁷⁴⁸¹ because³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had shut up^{5462 1157} her womb.⁷³⁵⁸

7  And as he did⁶²¹³ so³⁶⁵¹ year⁸¹⁴¹ by year,⁸¹⁴¹ when^{4480 1767} she went up⁵⁹²⁷ to the house^{4480 1004} of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ so³⁶⁵¹ she provoked³⁷⁰⁷ her; therefore she wept,¹⁰⁵⁸ and did not³⁸⁰⁸ eat.³⁹⁸

8  Then said⁵⁵⁹ Elkanah⁵¹¹ her husband³⁷⁶ to her, Hannah,²⁵⁸⁴ why⁴¹⁰⁰ weepest¹⁰⁵⁸ thou? and why⁴¹⁰⁰ eatest³⁹⁸ thou not?³⁸⁰⁸ and why⁴¹⁰⁰ is thy heart³⁸²⁴ grieved?⁷⁴⁸⁹ am not³⁸⁰⁸ I⁵⁹⁵ better²⁸⁹⁶ to thee than ten^{4480 6235} sons?¹¹²¹

9  So Hannah²⁵⁸⁴ rose up⁶⁹⁶⁵ after³¹⁰ they had eaten³⁹⁸ in Shiloh,⁷⁸⁸⁷ and after³¹⁰ they had drunk.⁸³⁵⁴ Now Eli⁵⁹⁴¹ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ sat³⁴²⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ a seat³⁶⁷⁸ by⁵⁹²¹ a post⁴²⁰¹ of the temple¹⁹⁶⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

10  And she¹⁹³¹ was in bitterness⁴⁷⁵¹ of soul,⁵³¹⁵ and prayed⁶⁴¹⁹ unto⁵⁹²¹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and wept sore.^{1058 1058}

11  And she vowed⁵⁰⁸⁷ a vow,⁵⁰⁸⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ if⁵¹⁸ thou wilt indeed look^{7200 7200} on the affliction⁶⁰⁴⁰ of thine handmaid,⁵¹⁹ and remember²¹⁴² me, and not³⁸⁰⁸ forget^{7911 853} thine handmaid,⁵¹⁹ but wilt give⁵⁴¹⁴ unto thine handmaid⁵¹⁹ a man³⁷⁶ child,²²³³ then I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ him unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ the days³¹¹⁷ of his life,²⁴¹⁶ and there shall no³⁸⁰⁸ razor⁴¹⁷⁷ come⁵⁹²⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ his head.⁷²¹⁸

12  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ as³⁵⁸⁸ she continued⁷²³⁵ praying⁶⁴¹⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that Eli⁵⁹⁴¹ marked^{8104 853} her mouth.⁶³¹⁰

13  Now Hannah,²⁵⁸⁴ she¹⁹³¹ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ in⁵⁹²¹ her heart;³⁸²⁰ only⁷⁵³⁵ her lips⁸¹⁹³ moved,⁵¹²⁸ but her voice⁶⁹⁶³ was not³⁸⁰⁸ heard:⁸⁰⁸⁵ therefore Eli⁵⁹⁴¹ thought²⁸⁰³ she had been drunken.⁷⁹¹⁰

14  And Eli⁵⁹⁴¹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ her, How⁵⁷⁰⁴ long⁴⁹⁷⁰ wilt thou be drunken?⁷⁹³⁷ put away^{5493 853} thy wine³¹⁹⁶ from^{4480 5921} thee.

15  And Hannah²⁵⁸⁴ answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ No,³⁸⁰⁸ my lord,¹¹³ I am a woman⁸⁰² of a sorrowful⁷¹⁸⁶ spirit:⁷³⁰⁷ I⁵⁹⁵ have drunk⁸³⁵⁴ neither³⁸⁰⁸ wine³¹⁹⁶ nor strong drink,⁷⁹⁴¹ but have poured out^{8210 853} my soul⁵³¹⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

16  Count⁵⁴¹⁴ not^{408 853} thine handmaid⁵¹⁹ for⁶⁴⁴⁰ a daughter of Belial:^{1323 1100} for³⁵⁸⁸ out of the abundance^{4480 7230} of my complaint⁷⁸⁷⁹ and grief³⁷⁰⁸ have I spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ hitherto.^{5704 6258}

17  Then Eli⁵⁹⁴¹ answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Go¹⁹⁸⁰ in peace:⁷⁹⁶⁵ and the God⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ grant⁵⁴¹⁴ thee ⁸⁵³ thy petition⁷⁵⁹⁶ that⁸³⁴ thou hast asked⁷⁵⁹² of^{4480 5973} him.

18  And she said,⁵⁵⁹ Let thine handmaid⁸¹⁹⁸ find⁴⁶⁷² grace²⁵⁸⁰ in thy sight.⁵⁸⁶⁹ So the woman⁸⁰² went¹⁹⁸⁰ her way,¹⁸⁷⁰ and did eat,³⁹⁸ and her countenance⁶⁴⁴⁰ was¹⁹⁶¹ no³⁸⁰⁸ more⁵⁷⁵⁰ sad.

19  And they rose up in the morning early,^{7925 1242} and worshiped⁷⁸¹² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and returned,⁷⁷²⁵ and came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ their house¹⁰⁰⁴ to Ramah:⁷⁴¹⁴ and Elkanah⁵¹¹ knew^{3045 853} Hannah²⁵⁸⁴ his wife;⁸⁰² and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ remembered²¹⁴² her.

20  Wherefore it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when the time³¹¹⁷ was come⁸⁶²² about after Hannah²⁵⁸⁴ had conceived,²⁰²⁹ that she bore³²⁰⁵ a son,¹¹²¹ and called^{7121 853} his name⁸⁰³⁴ Samuel,⁸⁰⁵⁰ saying, Because³⁵⁸⁸ I have asked⁷⁵⁹² him of the LORD.^{4480 3068}

21  And the man³⁷⁶ Elkanah,⁵¹¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ his house,¹⁰⁰⁴ went up⁵⁹²⁷ to offer²⁰⁷⁶ unto the LORD^{3068 853} the yearly³¹¹⁷ sacrifice,²⁰⁷⁷ and his vow.⁵⁰⁸⁸

22  But Hannah²⁵⁸⁴ went not up;^{5927 3808} for³⁵⁸⁸ she said⁵⁵⁹ unto her husband,³⁷⁶ I will not go up until⁵⁷⁰⁴ the child⁵²⁸⁸ be weaned,¹⁵⁸⁰ and then I will bring⁹³⁵ him, that he may appear^{7200 853} before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and there⁸⁰³³ abide³⁴²⁷ forever.^{5704 5769}

23  And Elkanah⁵¹¹ her husband³⁷⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ unto her, Do⁶²¹³ what seemeth⁵⁸⁶⁹ thee good;²⁸⁹⁶ tarry³⁴²⁷ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ thou have weaned¹⁵⁸⁰ him; only³⁸⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ establish^{6965 853} his word.¹⁶⁹⁷ So the woman⁸⁰² abode,³⁴²⁷ and gave her son suck^{3243 853 1121} until⁵⁷⁰⁴ she weaned¹⁵⁸⁰ him.

24  And when⁸³⁴ she had weaned¹⁵⁸⁰ him, she took him up⁵⁹²⁷ with⁵⁹⁷³ her, with three⁷⁹⁶⁹ bullocks,⁶⁴⁹⁹ and one²⁵⁹ ephah³⁷⁴ of flour,⁷⁰⁵⁸ and a bottle⁵⁰³⁵ of wine,³¹⁹⁶ and brought⁹³⁵ him unto the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ in Shiloh:⁷⁸⁸⁷ and the child⁵²⁸⁸ was young.⁵²⁸⁸

25  And they slew^{7819 853} a bullock,⁶⁴⁹⁹ and brought^{935 853} the child⁵²⁸⁸ to⁴¹³ Eli.⁵⁹⁴¹

26  And she said,⁵⁵⁹ Oh⁹⁹⁴ my lord,¹¹³ as thy soul⁵³¹⁵ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ my lord,¹¹³ I⁵⁸⁹ am the woman⁸⁰² that stood⁵³²⁴ by⁵⁹⁷³ thee here,²⁰⁸⁸ praying⁶⁴¹⁹ unto⁴¹³ the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

27  For⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ child⁵²⁸⁸ I prayed;⁶⁴¹⁹ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath given⁵⁴¹⁴ me ⁸⁵³ my petition⁷⁵⁹⁶ which⁸³⁴ I asked⁷⁵⁹² of^{4480 5973} him:

28  Therefore also¹⁵⁷¹ I⁵⁹⁵ have lent⁷⁵⁹² him to the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ as long³⁶⁰⁵ as⁸³⁴ he liveth³¹¹⁷ he¹⁹³¹ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ lent⁷⁵⁹² to the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸ And he worshiped⁷⁸¹² the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ there.⁸⁰³³

1 ἄνθρωπος ἦν ἐξ Αρμαθαιμ Σιφα ἐξ ὄρους Εφραιμ καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Ελκανα υἱὸς Ιερεμεηλ υἱοῦ Ηλιου υἱοῦ Θοκε ἐν Νασιβ Εφραιμ

2 καὶ τούτῳ δύο γυναῖκες ὄνομα τῇ μιᾷ Αννα καὶ ὄνομα τῇ δευτέρᾳ Φεννανα καὶ ἦν τῇ Φεννανα παιδία καὶ τῇ Αννα οὐκ ἦν παιδίον

3 καὶ ἀνέβαινεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ἡμερῶν εἰς ἡμέρας ἐκ πόλεως αὐτοῦ ἐξ Αρμαθαιμ προσκυνεῖν καὶ θύειν τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ σαβαωθ εἰς Σηλω καὶ ἐκεῖ Ηλι καὶ οἱ δύο υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ Οφνι καὶ Φινεες ἱερεῖς τοῦ κυρίου

4 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἡμέρᾳ καὶ ἔθυσεν Ελκανα καὶ ἔδωκεν τῇ Φεννανα γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτῆς καὶ ταῖς θυγατράσιν αὐτῆς μερίδας

5 καὶ τῇ Αννα ἔδωκεν μερίδα μίαν ὅτι οὐκ ἦν αὐτῇ παιδίον πλὴν ὅτι τὴν Ανναν ἠγάπα Ελκανα ὑπὲρ ταύτην καὶ κύριος ἀπέκλεισεν τὰ περὶ τὴν μήτραν αὐτῆς

6 ὅτι οὐκ ἔδωκεν αὐτῇ κύριος παιδίον κατὰ τὴν θλῖψιν αὐτῆς καὶ κατὰ τὴν ἀθυμίαν τῆς θλίψεως αὐτῆς καὶ ἠθύμει διὰ τοῦτο ὅτι συνέκλεισεν κύριος τὰ περὶ τὴν μήτραν αὐτῆς τοῦ μὴ δοῦναι αὐτῇ παιδίον

7 οὕτως ἐποίει ἐνιαυτὸν κατ᾽ ἐνιαυτὸν ἐν τῷ ἀναβαίνειν αὐτὴν εἰς οἶκον κυρίου καὶ ἠθύμει καὶ ἔκλαιεν καὶ οὐκ ἤσθιεν

8 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Ελκανα ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς Αννα καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ἰδοὺ ἐγώ κύριε καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ τί ἐστίν σοι ὅτι κλαίεις καὶ ἵνα τί οὐκ ἐσθίεις καὶ ἵνα τί τύπτει σε ἡ καρδία σου οὐκ ἀγαθὸς ἐγώ σοι ὑπὲρ δέκα τέκνα

9 καὶ ἀνέστη Αννα μετὰ τὸ φαγεῖν αὐτοὺς ἐν Σηλω καὶ κατέστη ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ Ηλι ὁ ἱερεὺς ἐκάθητο ἐπὶ τοῦ δίφρου ἐπὶ τῶν φλιῶν ναοῦ κυρίου

10 καὶ αὐτὴ κατώδυνος ψυχῇ καὶ προσηύξατο πρὸς κύριον καὶ κλαίουσα ἔκλαυσεν

11 καὶ ηὔξατο εὐχὴν κυρίῳ λέγουσα Αδωναι κύριε ελωαι σαβαωθ ἐὰν ἐπιβλέπων ἐπιβλέψῃς ἐπὶ τὴν ταπείνωσιν τῆς δούλης σου καὶ μνησθῇς μου καὶ δῷς τῇ δούλῃ σου σπέρμα ἀνδρῶν καὶ δώσω αὐτὸν ἐνώπιόν σου δοτὸν ἕως ἡμέρας θανάτου αὐτοῦ καὶ οἶνον καὶ μέθυσμα οὐ πίεται καὶ σίδηρος οὐκ ἀναβήσεται ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ

12 καὶ ἐγενήθη ὅτε ἐπλήθυνεν προσευχομένη ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ Ηλι ὁ ἱερεὺς ἐφύλαξεν τὸ στόμα αὐτῆς

13 καὶ αὐτὴ ἐλάλει ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς καὶ τὰ χείλη αὐτῆς ἐκινεῖτο καὶ φωνὴ αὐτῆς οὐκ ἠκούετο καὶ ἐλογίσατο αὐτὴν Ηλι εἰς μεθύουσαν

14 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ τὸ παιδάριον Ηλι ἕως πότε μεθυσθήσῃ περιελοῦ τὸν οἶνόν σου καὶ πορεύου ἐκ προσώπου κυρίου

15 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Αννα καὶ εἶπεν οὐχί κύριε γυνή ᾗ σκληρὰ ἡμέρα ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ οἶνον καὶ μέθυσμα οὐ πέπωκα καὶ ἐκχέω τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐνώπιον κυρίου

16 μὴ δῷς τὴν δούλην σου εἰς θυγατέρα λοιμήν ὅτι ἐκ πλήθους ἀδολεσχίας μου ἐκτέτακα ἕως νῦν

17 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Ηλι καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ πορεύου εἰς εἰρήνην ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ δῴη σοι πᾶν αἴτημά σου ὃ ᾐτήσω παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ

18 καὶ εἶπεν εὗρεν ἡ δούλη σου χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἡ γυνὴ εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτῆς καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸ κατάλυμα αὐτῆς καὶ ἔφαγεν μετὰ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς καὶ ἔπιεν καὶ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς οὐ συνέπεσεν ἔτι

19 καὶ ὀρθρίζουσιν τὸ πρωὶ καὶ προσκυνοῦσιν τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ πορεύονται τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτῶν καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ελκανα εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ Αρμαθαιμ καὶ ἔγνω τὴν Ανναν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐμνήσθη αὐτῆς κύριος

20 καὶ συνέλαβεν καὶ ἐγενήθη τῷ καιρῷ τῶν ἡμερῶν καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱόν καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Σαμουηλ καὶ εἶπεν ὅτι παρὰ κυρίου θεοῦ σαβαωθ ᾐτησάμην αὐτόν

21 καὶ ἀνέβη ὁ ἄνθρωπος Ελκανα καὶ πᾶς ὁ οἶκος αὐτοῦ θῦσαι ἐν Σηλωμ τὴν θυσίαν τῶν ἡμερῶν καὶ τὰς εὐχὰς αὐτοῦ καὶ πάσας τὰς δεκάτας τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ

22 καὶ Αννα οὐκ ἀνέβη μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ ὅτι εἶπεν τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς ἕως τοῦ ἀναβῆναι τὸ παιδάριον ἐὰν ἀπογαλακτίσω αὐτό καὶ ὀφθήσεται τῷ προσώπῳ κυρίου καὶ καθήσεται ἐκεῖ ἕως αἰῶνος

23 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Ελκανα ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς ποίει τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου κάθου ἕως ἂν ἀπογαλακτίσῃς αὐτό ἀλλὰ στήσαι κύριος τὸ ἐξελθὸν ἐκ τοῦ στόματός σου καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἡ γυνὴ καὶ ἐθήλασεν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς ἕως ἂν ἀπογαλακτίσῃ αὐτόν

24 καὶ ἀνέβη μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ εἰς Σηλωμ ἐν μόσχῳ τριετίζοντι καὶ ἄρτοις καὶ οιφι σεμιδάλεως καὶ νεβελ οἴνου καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς οἶκον κυρίου ἐν Σηλωμ καὶ τὸ παιδάριον μετ᾽ αὐτῶν

25 καὶ προσήγαγον ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ ἔσφαξεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ τὴν θυσίαν ἣν ἐποίει ἐξ ἡμερῶν εἰς ἡμέρας τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ προσήγαγεν τὸ παιδάριον καὶ ἔσφαξεν τὸν μόσχον καὶ προσήγαγεν Αννα ἡ μήτηρ τοῦ παιδαρίου πρὸς Ηλι

26 καὶ εἶπεν ἐν ἐμοί κύριε ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου ἐγὼ ἡ γυνὴ ἡ καταστᾶσα ἐνώπιόν σου ἐν τῷ προσεύξασθαι πρὸς κύριον

27 ὑπὲρ τοῦ παιδαρίου τούτου προσηυξάμην καὶ ἔδωκέν μοι κύριος τὸ αἴτημά μου ὃ ᾐτησάμην παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ

28 κἀγὼ κιχρῶ αὐτὸν τῷ κυρίῳ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ἃς ζῇ αὐτός χρῆσιν τῷ κυρίῳ

Vul

1 Fuit vir unus de Ramathaimsophim, de monte Ephraim, et nomen ejus Elcana, filius Jeroham, filii Eliu, filii Thohu, filii Suph, Ephrathæus:

2 et habuit duas uxores, nomen uni Anna, et nomen secundæ Phenenna. Fueruntque Phenennæ filii: Annæ autem non erant liberi.

3 Et ascendebat vir ille de civitate sua statutis diebus, ut adoraret et sacrificaret Domino exercituum in Silo. Erant autem ibi duo filii Heli, Ophni et Phinees, sacerdotes Domini.

4 Venit ergo dies, et immolavit Elcana, deditque Phenennæ uxori suæ, et cunctis filiis ejus et filiabus, partes:

5 Annæ autem dedit partem unam tristis, quia Annam diligebat. Dominus autem concluserat vulvam ejus.

6 Affligebat quoque eam æmula ejus, et vehementer angebat, in tantum ut exprobraret quod Dominus conclusisset vulvam ejus:

7 sicque faciebat per singulos annos: cum redeunte tempore ascenderent ad templum Domini, et sic provocabat eam: porro illa flebat, et non capiebat cibum.

8 Dixit ergo ei Elcana vir suus: Anna, cur fles? et quare non comedis? et quam ob rem affligitur cor tuum? numquid non ego melior tibi sum, quam decem filii?

9 Surrexit autem Anna postquam comederat et biberat in Silo. Et Heli sacerdote sedente super sellam ante postes templi Domini,

10 cum esset Anna amaro animo, oravit ad Dominum, flens largiter,

11 et votum vovit, dicens: Domine exercituum, si respiciens videris afflictionem famulæ tuæ, et recordatus mei fueris, nec oblitus ancillæ tuæ, dederisque servæ tuæ sexum virilem: dabo eum Domino omnibus diebus vitæ ejus, et novacula non ascendet super caput ejus.

12 Factum est autem, cum illa multiplicaret preces coram Domino, ut Heli observaret os ejus.

13 Porro Anna loquebatur in corde suo, tantumque labia illius movebantur, et vox penitus non audiebatur. Æstimavit ergo eam Heli temulentam,

14 dixitque ei: Usquequo ebria eris? digere paulisper vinum, quo mades.

15 Respondens Anna: Nequaquam, inquit, domine mi: nam mulier infelix nimis ego sum: vinumque et omne quod inebriare potest, non bibi, sed effudi animam meam in conspectu Domini.

16 Ne reputes ancillam tuam quasi unam de filiabus Belial: quia ex multitudine doloris et mœroris mei locuta sum usque in præsens.

17 Tunc Heli ait ei: Vade in pace: et Deus Israël det tibi petitionem tuam quam rogasti eum.

18 Et illa dixit: Utinam inveniat ancilla tua gratiam in oculis tuis. Et abiit mulier in viam suam, et comedit, vultusque illius non sunt amplius in diversa mutati.

19 Et surrexerunt mane, et adoraverunt coram Domino: reversique sunt, et venerunt in domum suam Ramatha.
Cognovit autem Elcana Annam uxorem suam: et recordatus est ejus Dominus.

20 Et factum est post circulum dierum, concepit Anna, et peperit filium: vocavitque nomen ejus Samuel, eo quod a Domino postulasset eum.

21 Ascendit autem vir ejus Elcana, et omnis domus ejus, ut immolaret Domino hostiam solemnem, et votum suum.

22 Et Anna non ascendit: dixit enim viro suo: Non vadam donec ablactetur infans, et ducam eum, ut appareat ante conspectum Domini, et maneat ibi jugiter.

23 Et ait ei Elcana vir suus: Fac quod bonum tibi videtur, et mane donec ablactes eum: precorque ut impleat Dominus verbum suum. Mansit ergo mulier, et lactavit filium suum, donec amoveret eum a lacte.

24 Et adduxit eum secum, postquam ablactaverat, in vitulis tribus, et tribus modiis farinæ, et amphora vini, et adduxit eum ad domum Domini in Silo. Puer autem erat adhuc infantulus:

25 et immolaverunt vitulum, et obtulerunt puerum Heli.

26 Et ait Anna: Obsecro mi domine, vivit anima tua, domine: ego sum illa mulier, quæ steti coram te hic orans Dominum.

27 Pro puero isto oravi, et dedit mihi Dominus petitionem meam quam postulavi eum.

28 Idcirco et ego commodavi eum Domino cunctis diebus quibus fuerit commodatus Domino. Et adoraverunt ibi Dominum.
Et oravit Anna, et ait:
