1 Samuel 2
1 And Hannah prays and says: “My heart has exulted in YHWH, My horn has been high in YHWH, My mouth has been large over my enemies, For I have rejoiced in Your salvation.
哈拿祷告说： 我的心因耶和华快乐； 我的角因耶和华高举。 我的口向仇敌张开； 我因耶和华的救恩欢欣。
2 There is none holy like YHWH, For there is none except You, And there is no rock like our God.
只有耶和华为圣； 除他以外没有可比的， 也没有磐石像我们的 神。
3 You do not multiply—you speak haughtily—The old saying goes out from your mouth, For YHWH [is] a God of knowledge, And actions are weighed by Him.
人不要夸口说骄傲的话， 也不要出狂妄的言语； 因耶和华是大有智识的 神， 人的行为被他衡量。
4 Bows of the mighty are broken, And the stumbling have girded on strength.
勇士的弓都已折断； 跌倒的人以力量束腰。
5 The satiated hired themselves for bread, And the hungry have ceased. While the barren has borne seven, And she abounding with sons has languished.
素来饱足的，反作用人求食； 饥饿的，再不饥饿。 不生育的，生了七个儿子； 多有儿女的，反倒衰微。
耶和华使人死，也使人活， 使人下阴间，也使人往上升。 (Sheol h7585)
7 YHWH dispossesses, and He makes rich, He makes low, indeed, He makes high.
他使人贫穷，也使人富足， 使人卑微，也使人高贵。
8 He raises the poor from the dust, He lifts up the needy from a dunghill, To cause [them] to sit with nobles, Indeed, He causes them to inherit a throne of glory, For the fixtures of earth [are] of YHWH, And He sets the habitable world on them.
他从灰尘里抬举贫寒人， 从粪堆中提拔穷乏人， 使他们与王子同坐， 得着荣耀的座位。 地的柱子属于耶和华； 他将世界立在其上。
9 He keeps the feet of His saints, And the wicked are silent in darkness, For man does not become mighty by power.
他必保护圣民的脚步， 使恶人在黑暗中寂然不动； 人都不能靠力量得胜。
10 YHWH—His adversaries are broken down, He thunders against them in the heavens: YHWH judges the ends of the earth, And gives strength to His king, And exalts the horn of His anointed.”
与耶和华争竞的，必被打碎； 耶和华必从天上以雷攻击他， 必审判地极的人， 将力量赐与所立的王， 高举受膏者的角。
11 And Elkanah goes to Ramath, to his house, and the youth has been serving YHWH [in] the presence of Eli the priest;
以利加拿往拉玛回家去了。那孩子在祭司以利面前事奉耶和华。
12 and the sons of Eli [are] sons of worthlessness, they have not known YHWH.
以利的两个儿子是恶人，不认识耶和华。
13 And the custom of the priests with the people [is that when] any man is sacrificing a sacrifice, then the servant of the priest has come in when the flesh is boiling, and [with] the hook of three teeth in his hand,
这二祭司待百姓是这样的规矩：凡有人献祭，正煮肉的时候，祭司的仆人就来，手拿三齿的叉子，
14 and has struck [it] into the pan, or kettle, or cauldron, or pot; all that the hook brings up the priest takes for himself; thus they do to all Israel who are coming in there in Shiloh.
将叉子往罐里，或鼎里，或釜里，或锅里一插，插上来的肉，祭司都取了去。凡上到示罗的以色列人，他们都是这样看待。
15 Also, before they make incense with the fat, then the priest’s servant has come in and said to the man who is sacrificing, “Give flesh to roast for the priest, and he does not take boiled flesh from you, but raw”;
又在未烧脂油以前，祭司的仆人就来对献祭的人说：“将肉给祭司，叫他烤吧。他不要煮过的，要生的。”
16 and the man says to him, “Let them surely make incense with the fat according to the [custom] today, then take to yourself as your soul desires”; and he has said to him, “Surely you give now; and if not—I have taken by strength.”
献祭的人若说：“必须先烧脂油，然后你可以随意取肉。”仆人就说：“你立时给我，不然我便抢去。”
17 And the sin of the young men is very great [in] the presence of YHWH, for the men have despised the offering of YHWH.
如此，这二少年人的罪在耶和华面前甚重了，因为他们藐视耶和华的祭物。
18 And Samuel is ministering [in] the presence of YHWH, a youth girt [with] an ephod of linen;
那时，撒母耳还是孩子，穿着细麻布的以弗得，侍立在耶和华面前。
19 and his mother makes a small upper coat for him, and she has brought it up to him from time to time, in her coming up with her husband to sacrifice the sacrifice of the time.
他母亲每年为他做一件小外袍，同着丈夫上来献年祭的时候带来给他。
20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, “YHWH appoints seed of this woman for you, for the petition which she asked for YHWH”; and they have gone to their place.
以利为以利加拿和他的妻祝福，说：“愿耶和华由这妇人再赐你后裔，代替你从耶和华求来的孩子。”他们就回本乡去了。
21 When YHWH has looked after Hannah, then she conceives and bears three sons and two daughters; and the youth Samuel grows up with YHWH.
耶和华眷顾哈拿，她就怀孕生了三个儿子，两个女儿。那孩子撒母耳在耶和华面前渐渐长大。
22 And Eli [is] very old, and has 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,
以利年甚老迈，听见他两个儿子待以色列众人的事，又听见他们与会幕门前伺候的妇人苟合，
23 and he says to them, “Why do you do things like these? For I am hearing of your evil words from all the people—these!
他就对他们说：“你们为何行这样的事呢？我从这众百姓听见你们的恶行。
24 No, my sons; for the report which I am hearing is not good, causing the people of YHWH to transgress.
我儿啊，不可这样！我听见你们的风声不好，你们使耶和华的百姓犯了罪。
25 If a man sins against a man, then God has judged him; but if a man sins against YHWH, who prays for him?” And they do not listen to the voice of their father, though YHWH has delighted to put them to death.
人若得罪人，有士师审判他；人若得罪耶和华，谁能为他祈求呢？”然而他们还是不听父亲的话，因为耶和华想要杀他们。
26 And the youth Samuel is going on and growing up, and [is] good with both YHWH, and also with men.
孩子撒母耳渐渐长大，耶和华与人越发喜爱他。
27 And a man of God comes to Eli and says to him, “Thus said YHWH: Was I really revealed to the house of your father in their being in Egypt, before Pharaoh’s house,
有神人来见以利，对他说：“耶和华如此说：‘你祖父在埃及法老家作奴仆的时候，我不是向他们显现吗？
28 even to choose him out of all the tribes of Israel for a priest for Myself, to go up on My altar, to make incense, to bear an ephod before Me, and I give to the house of your father all the fire-offerings of the sons of Israel?
在以色列众支派中，我不是拣选人作我的祭司，使他烧香，在我坛上献祭，在我面前穿以弗得，又将以色列人所献的火祭都赐给你父家吗？
29 Why do you kick at My sacrifice and at My offering, which I commanded [in] My habitation, and honor your sons above Me, to make yourselves fat from the first part of every offering of Israel, of My people?
我所吩咐献在我居所的祭物，你们为何践踏？尊重你的儿子过于尊重我，将我民以色列所献美好的祭物肥己呢？’
30 Therefore—a declaration of YHWH, God of Israel—I certainly said, Your house and the house of your father walk up and down before Me for all time; and now—a declaration of YHWH—Far be it from Me! For he who is honoring Me, I honor, and those despising Me, are lightly esteemed.
因此，耶和华—以色列的 神说：‘我曾说，你和你父家必永远行在我面前；现在我却说，决不容你们这样行。因为尊重我的，我必重看他；藐视我的，他必被轻视。
31 Behold, days [are] coming, and I have cut off your arm, and the arm of the house of your father, that an old man is not in your house;
日子必到，我要折断你的膀臂和你父家的膀臂，使你家中没有一个老年人。
32 and you have beheld an adversary [in My] habitation, in all that He does good with Israel, and there is not an old man in your house all the days.
在 神使以色列人享福的时候，你必看见我居所的败落。在你家中必永远没有一个老年人。
33 And the man of yours I do not cut off from My altar—[My purpose is] to consume your eyes, and to grieve your soul; and all the increase of men [in] your house die;
我必不从我坛前灭尽你家中的人；那未灭的必使你眼目干瘪、心中忧伤。你家中所生的人都必死在中年。
34 and this [is] the sign to you that comes to your two sons, to Hophni and Phinehas—in one day both of them die;
你的两个儿子何弗尼、非尼哈所遭遇的事可作你的证据：他们二人必一日同死。
35 and I have raised up a steadfast priest for Myself; he does as in My heart and in My soul; and I have built a steadfast house for him, and he has walked up and down before My anointed all the days;
我要为自己立一个忠心的祭司；他必照我的心意而行。我要为他建立坚固的家；他必永远行在我的受膏者面前。
36 and it has been, everyone who is left in your house comes to bow himself to him for a wage of silver and a cake of bread, and has said, Please admit me to one of the priest’s offices, to eat a morsel of bread.”
你家所剩下的人都必来叩拜他，求块银子，求个饼，说：求你赐我祭司的职分，好叫我得点饼吃。’”
