1 Samuel 1

1 And there was a certain man of Rama-thayim-zophim, of the mountain of Ephraim, whose name was Elkanah, the son of Yerocham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tochu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite.

Ada seorang laki-laki dari Ramataim-Zofim, dari pegunungan Efraim, namanya Elkana bin Yeroham bin Elihu bin Tohu bin Zuf, seorang Efraim.

2 And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.

Orang ini mempunyai dua isteri: yang seorang bernama Hana dan yang lain bernama Penina; Penina mempunyai anak, tetapi Hana tidak.

3 And this man went up out of his city from year to year to prostrate himself and to sacrifice unto the Lord of hosts in Shiloh. And at that place were the two sons of 'Eli, Chophni and Phinehas, priests of the Lord.

Orang itu dari tahun ke tahun pergi meninggalkan kotanya untuk sujud menyembah dan mempersembahkan korban kepada TUHAN semesta alam di Silo. Di sana yang menjadi imam TUHAN ialah kedua anak Eli, Hofni dan Pinehas.

4 And when the day was come that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions;

Pada hari Elkana mempersembahkan korban, diberikannyalah kepada Penina, isterinya, dan kepada semua anaknya yang laki-laki dan perempuan masing-masing sebagian.

5 But unto Hannah he gave a double portion; for Hannah he loved [greatly]; but the Lord had shut up her womb.

Meskipun ia mengasihi Hana, ia memberikan kepada Hana hanya satu bagian, sebab TUHAN telah menutup kandungannya.

6 And her rival also provoked her continually, in order to make her fret; because the Lord had shut up her womb.

Tetapi madunya selalu menyakiti hatinya supaya ia gusar, karena TUHAN telah menutup kandungannya.

7 And he did so year by year, as often as she went up to the house of the Lord, so did she provoke her; wherefore she wept, and did not eat.

Demikianlah terjadi dari tahun ke tahun; setiap kali Hana pergi ke rumah TUHAN, Penina menyakiti hati Hana, sehingga ia menangis dan tidak mau makan.

8 Then said to her Elkanah her husband, Hannah, why wilt thou weep? and why wilt thou not eat? and why should thy heart be grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sons?

Lalu Elkana, suaminya, berkata kepadanya: "Hana, mengapa engkau menangis dan mengapa engkau tidak mau makan? Mengapa hatimu sedih? Bukankah aku lebih berharga bagimu dari pada sepuluh anak laki-laki?"

9 And Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk; and 'Eli the priest was sitting upon a chair by the door-post of the temple of the Lord.

Pada suatu kali, setelah mereka habis makan dan minum di Silo, berdirilah Hana, sedang imam Eli duduk di kursi dekat tiang pintu bait suci TUHAN,

10 But she had bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the Lord, and wept greatly.

dan dengan hati pedih ia berdoa kepada TUHAN sambil menangis tersedu-sedu.

11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O Lord of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thy handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thy handmaid, but wilt give unto thy handmaid a man-child: then will I give him unto the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.

Kemudian bernazarlah ia, katanya: "TUHAN semesta alam, jika sungguh-sungguh Engkau memperhatikan sengsara hamba-Mu ini dan mengingat kepadaku dan tidak melupakan hamba-Mu ini, tetapi memberikan kepada hamba-Mu ini seorang anak laki-laki, maka aku akan memberikan dia kepada TUHAN untuk seumur hidupnya dan pisau cukur tidak akan menyentuh kepalanya."

12 And it came to pass, as she continued praying long before the Lord, that 'Eli watched her mouth.

Ketika perempuan itu terus-menerus berdoa di hadapan TUHAN, maka Eli mengamat-amati mulut perempuan itu;

13 Now as for Hannah, she spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice could not be heard; wherefore 'Eli regarded her as a drunken woman.

dan karena Hana berkata-kata dalam hatinya dan hanya bibirnya saja bergerak-gerak, tetapi suaranya tidak kedengaran, maka Eli menyangka perempuan itu mabuk.

14 And 'Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from off thee.

Lalu kata Eli kepadanya: "Berapa lama lagi engkau berlaku sebagai orang mabuk? Lepaskanlah dirimu dari pada mabukmu."

15 And Hannah answered and said, No, my Lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit; but neither wine nor strong drink have I drunk, and I have poured out my soul before the Lord.

Tetapi Hana menjawab: "Bukan, tuanku, aku seorang perempuan yang sangat bersusah hati; anggur ataupun minuman yang memabukkan tidak kuminum, melainkan aku mencurahkan isi hatiku di hadapan TUHAN.

16 Esteem not thy handmaid as a worthless woman; for out of the abundance of my grief and vexation have I spoken hitherto.

Janganlah anggap hambamu ini seorang perempuan dursila; sebab karena besarnya cemas dan sakit hati aku berbicara demikian lama."

17 Then 'Eli answered and said, Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant thy petition which thou hast asked of him.

Jawab Eli: "Pergilah dengan selamat, dan Allah Israel akan memberikan kepadamu apa yang engkau minta dari pada-Nya."

18 And she said, Let thy handmaid find grace in thy eyes. The woman then went on her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no longer as before.

Sesudah itu berkatalah perempuan itu: "Biarlah hambamu ini mendapat belas kasihan dari padamu." Lalu keluarlah perempuan itu, ia mau makan dan mukanya tidak muram lagi.

19 And they rose up early in the morning, and prostrated themselves before the Lord, and returned, and came to their house at Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the Lord remembered her.

Keesokan harinya bangunlah mereka itu pagi-pagi, lalu sujud menyembah di hadapan TUHAN; kemudian pulanglah mereka ke rumahnya di Rama. Ketika Elkana bersetubuh dengan Hana, isterinya, TUHAN ingat kepadanya.

20 And it came to pass, after the lapse of some time, that Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she called his name Samuel, saying, Because from the Lord have I asked him.

Maka setahun kemudian mengandunglah Hana dan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki. Ia menamai anak itu Samuel, sebab katanya: "Aku telah memintanya dari pada TUHAN."

21 And the man Elkanah went up, with all his house, to offer unto the Lord the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.

Elkana, laki-laki itu, pergi dengan seisi rumahnya mempersembahkan korban sembelihan tahunan dan korban nazarnya kepada TUHAN.

22 But Hannah did not go up; for she said unto her husband, So soon as the child shall be weaned, then I will bring him, that he may appear before the Lord, and abide there for ever.

Tetapi Hana tidak ikut pergi, sebab katanya kepada suaminya: "Nanti apabila anak itu cerai susu, aku akan mengantarkan dia, maka ia akan menghadap ke hadirat TUHAN dan tinggal di sana seumur hidupnya."

23 And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth good in thy eyes; tarry until thou hast weaned him; only may the Lord fulfill his word. So the woman remained behind, and gave her son suck until she weaned him.

Kemudian Elkana, suaminya itu, berkata kepadanya: "Perbuatlah apa yang kaupandang baik; tinggallah sampai engkau menyapih dia; hanya, TUHAN kiranya menepati janji-Nya." Jadi tinggallah perempuan itu dan menyusui anaknya sampai disapihnya.

24 And she took him up with her, when she had weaned him, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and she brought him unto the house of the Lord at Shiloh; although the child was yet young.

Setelah perempuan itu menyapih anaknya, dibawanyalah dia, dengan seekor lembu jantan yang berumur tiga tahun, satu efa tepung dan sebuyung anggur, lalu diantarkannya ke dalam rumah TUHAN di Silo. Waktu itu masih kecil betul kanak-kanak itu.

25 And they slew a bullock, and brought the child to 'Eli.

Setelah mereka menyembelih lembu, mereka mengantarkan kanak-kanak itu kepada Eli;

26 And she said, Pardon, my Lord, as thy soul liveth, my Lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, to pray unto the Lord.

lalu kata perempuan itu: "Mohon bicara tuanku, demi tuanku hidup, akulah perempuan yang dahulu berdiri di sini dekat tuanku untuk berdoa kepada TUHAN.

27 For this lad did I pray; and the Lord hath granted me my petition which I asked of him;

Untuk mendapat anak inilah aku berdoa, dan TUHAN telah memberikan kepadaku, apa yang kuminta dari pada-Nya.

28 Therefore also have I lent him, for my part, to the Lord; all the days that have been assigned to him shall he be lent to the Lord. And he bowed himself there before the Lord.

Maka akupun menyerahkannya kepada TUHAN; seumur hidup terserahlah ia kiranya kepada TUHAN." Lalu sujudlah mereka di sana menyembah kepada TUHAN.
