1 Samuel 2
2:1And Hannah prayed and said, My heart is solidified in the lord; my horn was raised high by my God; my mouth was widened over my enemies; for I was glad in your deliverance.
2:2For there is no one holy as the lord; and there is no just one as our God; and there is no holy one besides you.
2:3Do not boast, and do not speak high things in superiority! Let not come forth lofty language from out of your mouth! For the lord is a God of knowledge, and God is preparing his practices.
2:4The bow of the mighty is weakened, and the ones being weakened girded on power.
2:5The ones full of bread loaves are made less; and the ones hungering disregarded the land; for the sterile gave birth to seven, and the one with many in children weakened.
2:6The lord puts to death, and he brings forth alive; he leads them down into Hades, and he leads up.
2:7The lord makes poor, and he enriches; he humbles, and elevates.
2:8He raises up from the earth the needy, and from the dung he raises the poor to seat him with mighty ones of the people, and inheriting to them a throne of glory;
2:9giving the thing vowed for to the one vowing. And he blessed the years of the just; for not by strength is man able.
2:10The lord shall make his opponent weak. The lord is holy. The lord ascended into heavens, and he thundered. He shall judge the extremities of the earth being just; and he shall give strength to our kings, and he will raise up high the horn of his anointed one.
2:11And they went forth unto Ramah unto their house. And the boy was officiating to the lord before the face of Eli the priest.
2:12And the sons of Eli the priest were mischievous sons, not knowing the lord.
2:13And the ordinance of the priest of all the people of the one sacrificing was this; that the servant of the priest came when ever the meat boiled, and in his hand was a three-pronged meat hook.
2:14And he stuck it into the great kettle, or into the brass caldron, or into the earthen pot; and all, what ever ascended on the meat hook the priest took to himself. According to thus they did to all Israel in Shiloh to the ones coming to sacrifice to the lord.
2:15And before the burning the fat, the servant of the priest would come. And he said to the man sacrificing, Give meat to the priest to roast; for in no way shall I take meat from you cooked from out of the kettle.
2:16And if the man who was sacrificing said, first let there be burnt as is fit for the fat, and then you shall take for yourself from all what your soul desires. Then he said, No, but now you shall give it; and if not, I will take it forcefully.
2:17And the sin of the young men was great before the lord, exceedingly, for they annulled the sacrifice of the lord.
2:18And Samuel was officiating in the presence of the lord, a boy being girded with a linen ephod.
2:19And his mother made a small double garment for him, and offered it to him from days unto days in her ascending with her husband, to sacrifice the sacrifice of the days.
2:20And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, saying, the lord pay to you seed from out of this woman, for the loan which she treated the lord. And the man went forth to his place.
2:21And the lord visited Hannah, and she conceived again, and she bore yet three sons and two daughters. And the boy Samuel was magnified in the presence of the lord.
2:22And Eli was an old man, exceedingly. And he heard what his sons did to all the sons of Israel, and that his sons went to bed with the women standing by the doors of the tent of the testimony.
2:23And he said to them, Why do you do according to these things, which I hear being spoken ill of you from the mouth of all the people of the lord?
2:24No children, no, for it is not good, the hearing which I hear of the making the people to not serve to the lord.
2:25If by sinning a man should sin against a man, then they shall pray for him to the lord. But if a man sins against the lord, who shall pray for him? But they did not hearken to the voice of their father. For willing, the lord preferred to utterly destroy them.
2:26And the boy Samuel went on and was magnified, and was in good standing with the lord, and with men.
2:27And the man of God came to Eli, and said to him, Thus says the lord, In revealing I revealed myself to the house of your father in their being servants to the house of Pharaoh in the land of Egypt.
2:28And I chose the house of your father from out of all the tribes of Israel to officiate as priest to me, to ascend unto my altar, and to burn incense, and to carry an ephod before me. And I gave to the house of your father all the things of the sacrifices of the fire of the sons of Israel for food.
2:29Why have you looked upon my incense offering, and upon my sacrifice offering with an impudent eye, and glorified your sons above me, in them blessing themselves with the first-fruit of every sacrifice of Israel, prior of me?
2:30On account of this, thus says the lord, the God of Israel, I said, Your house, and the house of your father shall go through before me unto the eon. And now, says the lord, not even one will be to me, for the ones glorifying me I will glorify, and the ones treating me with contempt shall be disgraced.
2:31Behold, days come, and I shall utterly destroy your seed, and the seed of the house of your father.
2:32And you shall look upon new fortifications upon all the things which Israel shall do good. And there will not be an old man in your house all the days.
2:33And a man whom I should not utterly destroy among you from my altar, I will make his eyes to fail, and his life will flow down, and all the ones abounding of your house shall fall by the broadsword of men.
2:34And this is to you the sign which shall come upon these your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day both shall die.
2:35And I will raise up for myself a trustworthy priest who will do all the things in my heart and the things in my soul. And I will build to him a trustworthy house, and he shall go through before my anointed one all the days.
2:36And it will be everyone being left behind among your house shall come to do obeisance to him for an obolus of silver, and for one bread loaf, saying, Throw me aside upon one of your priesthoods to eat bread!
