YLT
Young's Literal Translation
At
that
time
Hannah prayed
: “
My heart rejoices
in
the
LORD
in whom
my horn is
exalted.
My mouth speaks
boldly
against
my
enemies, for I rejoice
in Your
salvation.
And
Hannah prayeth,
and
saith
: `
My heart hath
exulted
in Jehovah,
My horn hath
been
high
in
Jehovah,
My mouth hath
been
large
over
mine
enemies, For I have
rejoiced
in Thy
salvation.
There is no
one
holy like the
LORD.
Indeed
, there is no
one
besides
You!
And there is no Rock like our God.
There is none
holy like Jehovah
, For
there is none
save
Thee,
And there is no rock like our God.
Do
not boast
so
proudly,
or
let
arrogance
come
from your mouth, for the
LORD
is
a God who
knows
, and by Him actions are weighed.
Ye
multiply
not --
ye
speak
haughtily
--
The
old
saying
goeth
out
from your mouth, For a God of
knowledge
`is'
Jehovah
, And by Him actions are weighed.
The
bows of the mighty are broken, but
the feeble
are
equipped
with
strength.
Bows of the mighty are broken, And
the stumbling
have
girded
on
strength.
The well-fed
hire
themselves
out
for food
, but
the starving
hunger
no
more
. The barren woman
gives
birth
to
seven, but
she who
has
many
sons pines
away
.
The satiated
for bread
hired
themselves
, And
the hungry
have
ceased
. While
the barren hath
borne
seven, And
she abounding
with
sons hath
languished
.
The
LORD
brings
death and gives
life;
He brings
down to Sheol and raises
up.
Jehovah
putteth
to
death ,
and keepeth
alive,
He bringeth
down to Sheol ,
and bringeth
up.
The
LORD
sends
poverty
and wealth;
He humbles
and
He exalts
.
Jehovah
dispossesseth,
and He maketh
rich,
He maketh
low,
yea,
He
maketh
high
.
He raises
the
poor
from the dust and
lifts
the needy
from the
ash
heap.
He seats
them
among
princes
and
bestows
on
them a throne of honor.
For the foundations
of the
earth are
the
LORD’s
, and upon
them
He has
set
the world.
He raiseth
from the dust the poor,
From a
dunghill
He lifteth
up
the
needy,
To
cause
`
them '
to
sit
with
nobles,
Yea,
a throne of honour
He
doth
cause
them
to
inherit,
For to
Jehovah
`are'
the fixtures
of earth, And He setteth
on
them
the habitable
world.
He
guards
the steps
of His faithful
ones
, but
the wicked perish
in darkness ;
for by his
own
strength
shall
no
man prevail
.
The feet
of His saints
He
keepeth
, And
the wicked in darkness are
silent,
For not
by power
doth
man become
mighty
.
Those
who
oppose
the
LORD
will
be
shattered.
He
will
thunder
from
heaven
against them .
The LORD
will
judge
the ends of the
earth and will
give
power
to His king .
He
will
exalt
the horn of His anointed. ”
Jehovah
--
broken
down
are
His
adversaries,
Against them in
the heavens
He
thundereth:
Jehovah
judgeth
the ends of earth ,
And giveth
strength
to His king ,
And
exalteth
the horn of His anointed. '
Then
Elkanah went
home
to Ramah
, but
the boy
began
ministering
to
the LORD
before
Eli the priest .
And
Elkanah goeth
to Ramath
, unto
his
house,
and
the youth
hath
been
serving
Jehovah,
`in'
the presence
of
Eli the priest ;
Now
the sons of Eli were
wicked
men;
they had
no
regard
for
the
LORD
and
the sons of Eli `are'
sons
of
worthlessness,
they have
not
known
Jehovah.
or
for
the custom of the priests with the people .
When
any man offered
a sacrifice ,
the servant of the priest would
come with
a
three-pronged
meat
fork
while
the meat
was
boiling
And
the custom of the priests with the people `is':
any man sacrificing
a sacrifice --
then
hath
the servant of the priest come in
when
the flesh
is
boiling ,
and
the
hook
of
three
teeth
in
his
hand,
and plunge
it into the pan or kettle or cauldron
or cooking
pot .
And
the priest would
claim
for himself whatever
the
meat
fork
brought
up.
This
is
how
they treated
all the
Israelites
who came
to
Shiloh.
and hath
struck
`
it '
into the pan ,
or kettle ,
or caldron,
or pot ;
all
that
the hook
bringeth
up
doth
the
priest take
for himself ;
thus
they do
to
all Israel
who are
coming
in,
there,
in
Shiloh.
Even
before the fat was
burned,
the servant of
the
priest
would
come and say
to the man who was
sacrificing, “
Give the
priest
some
meat
to roast, because
he will
not accept
boiled meat
from
you
, but only
raw .”
Also
before they
make
perfume
with
the fat --
then
hath
the priest's
servant come in,
and said
to the man who is
sacrificing, `
Give flesh
to roast for
the
priest
, and
he doth
not take
of
thee
flesh
boiled, but raw ;'
And if
any
man said
to
him, “
The fat must
be
burned
first;
then you
may
take whatever
you
want,”
the
servant
would
reply,
“No,
you
must
give
it
to me
right
now .
If you
refuse,
I will
take
it
by force!”
and the
man saith
unto
him, `Let
them
surely
make
a
perfume
(as
to-day)
with
the fat ,
then take to thee
as
thy
soul
desireth;'
and
he
hath
said
to
him,
`Surely
now thou
dost
give;
and
if not
--
I have
taken
by strength.'
Thus
the sin of these
young men was
severe
in the sight
of the
LORD
, for they
were
treating
the LORD’s
offering with
contempt
.
And
the sin of the
young men is
very
great
`
in '
the presence
of Jehovah
, for the men
have
despised
the
offering of
Jehovah
.
Now
Samuel was
ministering before
the LORD—a
boy
wearing
a linen
ephod .
And
Samuel is
ministering `in'
the presence
of
Jehovah,
a youth
girt
`with'
an
ephod of
linen;
Each
year
his mother would
make him a
little
robe
and bring
it to him when
she
went
with her husband to offer
the annual
sacrifice.
and
a
small
upper
coat
doth
his mother make to
him ,
and she
hath
brought
it up
to him from
time
to
time,
in
her
coming
up
with her husband to sacrifice
the sacrifice of
the
time
.
And Eli would
bless
Elkanah and his wife, saying
, “May
the
LORD
give
you
children
by
this woman in
place
of
the one
she dedicated
to
the
LORD.”
Then
they would
go
home
.
And Eli blessed
Elkanah ,
and his wife, and
said
, `Jehovah
doth
appoint
for
thee
seed
of
this woman ,
for
the petition
which
she asked
for
Jehovah;'
and
they have
gone
to
their
place
.
So
the
LORD
attended
to
Hannah, and
she conceived
and gave
birth
to
three sons and two daughters .
Meanwhile,
the boy
Samuel grew
up in
the
presence
of
the
LORD
.
When
Jehovah
hath
looked
after
Hannah, then
she conceiveth
and beareth
three sons and two daughters ;
and
the youth
Samuel groweth
up with
Jehovah
.
Now
Eli was
very old, and he
heard about
everything
his sons were
doing
to all Israel and how they were
sleeping
with the women who served
at the entrance
to
the Tent of Meeting .
And
Eli `is'
very old, and hath
heard all
that
his sons do
to all Israel ,
and how that
they lie
with the women who are
assembling
`
at '
the opening
of
the tent of meeting ,
“
Why are
you
doing
these
things? ”
Eli
said
to
his
sons.
“
I hear
about
your wicked
deeds
from all these
people .
and
he
saith
to
them,
`
Why do
ye
things like
these
? for
I am
hearing
of
your evil
words
from all the
people --
these!
No
, my sons; it
is not a
good report
I
hear
circulating
among
the LORD’s
people.
Nay
, my sons; for
the
report
which
I
am
hearing
is not good causing
the people of
Jehovah
to
transgress
. --
If a man sins
against another
man, God can
intercede
for
him; but if a man sins
against
the
LORD
, who can
intercede
for him? ”
But
they would
not listen
to their father, since
the
LORD
intended
to put them to death.
If a man sin
against a
man, then
hath
God judged
him; but if against
Jehovah
a man sin
, who doth
pray
for him? '
and
they hearken
not to the
voice
of
their father, though
Jehovah
hath
delighted
to put them to death.
And the boy
Samuel continued
to
grow
in
stature
and in
favor
with the
LORD
and with man
.
And the youth
Samuel is
going
on
and growing
up,
and
`is'
good
both
with Jehovah,
and also
with men
.
Then
a man of God came
to
Eli and told
him, “This
is
what
the
LORD
says:
‘Did
I not
clearly
reveal
Myself
to
your
father’s
house when
they
were
in Egypt under
Pharaoh’s
house ?
And
there
cometh
a man of God unto
Eli ,
and saith
unto
him, `Thus
said
Jehovah,
Was
I really
revealed
unto
the
house of
thy
father
in their
being
in
Egypt ,
before
Pharaoh's
house ,
And
out of all the tribes of Israel I
selected
your
father
to be
My
priest, to offer
sacrifices
on My
altar, to burn
incense
, and
to wear
an ephod in
My
presence.
I also
gave
to the house of your
father all the offerings of the Israelites
made
by
fire.
even
to
choose
him
out of all the tribes of Israel to Me
for
a
priest, to go
up
on Mine
altar, to make
a
perfume
, to bear
an ephod before
Me,
and
I give
to the house of thy
father all the fire-
offerings of the sons
of
Israel?
Why then
do you
kick at My sacrifice and offering that
I have
prescribed
for
My dwelling
place?
You
have
honored
your
sons more
than
Me by
fattening
yourselves with
the best
of all
the
offerings
of My people Israel.’
Why do ye
kick at My sacrifice ,
and at
Mine
offering which
I commanded
`in'
My habitation,
and
dost
honour
thy
sons above
Me ,
to
make
yourselves fat
from
the first
part
of every
offering
of Israel,
of
My people ?
Therefore ,
the LORD
, the
God of Israel ,
declares:
‘
I did
indeed
say
that
your
house and the house of your
father would
walk before Me forever.
But
now the LORD
declares:
Far be it from Me! For I
will
honor
those
who honor
Me, but
those who
despise
Me will
be
disdained
.
`
Therefore --
the affirmation
of
Jehovah
, God of Israel --
I certainly
said,
Thy
house and the house of thy
father ,
do
walk up
and
down
before Me to
the
age;
and
now --
the affirmation
of
Jehovah
--
Far be it from Me! for he
who is
honouring
Me, I
honour,
and
those despising
Me ,
are
lightly
esteemed
.
Behold
, the
days are coming when
I will
cut off your
strength
and the strength
of your
father’s
house, so
that no
older
man will
be
left
in your
house .
`Lo
, days `
are '
coming ,
and
I have
cut off thine
arm,
and the arm
of the
house of
thy
father
, that an
old
man is
not
in thy
house ;
You
will
see
distress
in My dwelling
place.
Despite
all that is
good in
Israel, no
one
in your
house will
ever
again
reach
old
age
.
and
thou
hast
beheld
an
adversary
`
in My '
habitation,
in
all that He
doth
good with
Israel, and
there
is
not
an
old
man
in thy
house all
the
days
.
And every
one
of
you
that
I do
not
cut off from My
altar, your
eyes will
fail
and your
heart
will
grieve .
All your
descendants
will
die
by
the sword
of men .
`
And the
man
I cut not
off of
thine
from Mine
altar, `is'
to
consume
thine
eyes ,
and to
grieve thy
soul;
and
all the increase
of thy
house
do
die
men ;
And this sign
shall
come
to you
concerning
your
two sons Hophni and Phinehas :
They will
both
die on
the
same
day.
and this `is'
to thee
the
sign
that
cometh
unto
thy
two sons ,
unto
Hophni and Phinehas --
in
one
day
they die both
of
them;
Then
I will
raise
up for Myself
a faithful
priest .
He
will
do
whatever
is
in My heart and mind.
And I will
build
for him an
enduring
house, and he will
walk
before My
anointed one
for
all time.
and
I have
raised
up for Me
a stedfast
priest ;
as
in My heart and in
My
soul
he
doth
do;
and I have
built
for him a
stedfast
house, and he hath
walked
up
and
down
before Mine
anointed all the
days;
And everyone
left in your
house will
come and
bow down
to him for a piece
of silver or
a morsel
of bread, pleading
, “Please
appoint
me to
some
priestly
office
so
that
I can
eat a piece
of bread. ”’”
and it
hath
been,
every
one
who
is
left in thy
house doth
come in
to
bow himself
to him ,
for a wage
of silver ,
and
a cake
of bread, and
hath
said
, Admit
me ,
I pray
thee,
unto
one
of
the
priest's
offices,
to
eat a morsel
of bread. '
