(THOT)
וְכֵן יַעֲשֶׂה שָׁנָה בְשָׁנָה מִדֵּי עֲלֹתָהּ בְּבֵית יְהוָה כֵּן תַּכְעִסֶנָּה וַתִּבְכֶּה וְלֹא תֹאכַֽל׃
(ESV)
So it went on
year by
year. As
often as she went up to the
house of the
Lord, she used to
provoke her. Therefore Hannah
wept and would not
eat.
(THOT)
וַיֹּאמֶר לָהּ אֶלְקָנָה אִישָׁהּ חַנָּה לָמֶה תִבְכִּי וְלָמֶה לֹא תֹֽאכְלִי וְלָמֶה יֵרַע לְבָבֵךְ הֲלוֹא אָֽנֹכִי טוֹב לָךְ מֵעֲשָׂרָה בָּנִֽים׃
(ESV)
And
Elkanah, her
husband,
said to her, “
Hannah,
why do you
weep? And
why do you not
eat? And
why is your
heart sad?
aAm I not
more to you than
ten sons?”
(THOT)
וַתָּקָם חַנָּה אַחֲרֵי אָכְלָה בְשִׁלֹה וְאַחֲרֵי שָׁתֹה וְעֵלִי הַכֹּהֵן יֹשֵׁב עַל־הַכִּסֵּא עַל־מְזוּזַת הֵיכַל יְהוָֽה׃
(ESV)
After they had
eaten and
drunk in
Shiloh,
Hannah rose. Now
Eli the
priest was
sitting on the
seat beside the
doorpost of
bthe
temple of the
Lord.
(THOT)
וְהִיא מָרַת נָפֶשׁ וַתִּתְפַּלֵּל עַל־יְהוָה וּבָכֹה תִבְכֶּֽה׃
(ESV)
She was
cdeeply distressed and
prayed to the
Lord and
wept bitterly.
(THOT)
וַתִּדֹּר נֶדֶר וַתֹּאמַר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת אִם־רָאֹה תִרְאֶה׀ בָּעֳנִי אֲמָתֶךָ וּזְכַרְתַּנִי וְלֹֽא־תִשְׁכַּח אֶת־אֲמָתֶךָ וְנָתַתָּה לַאֲמָתְךָ זֶרַע אֲנָשִׁים וּנְתַתִּיו לַֽיהוָה כָּל־יְמֵי חַיָּיו וּמוֹרָה לֹא־יַעֲלֶה עַל־רֹאשֽׁוֹ׃
(ESV)
And she
dvowed a
vow and
said, “O
Lord of
hosts, if you will
indeed elook on the
affliction of your
servant and
fremember me and not
forget your
servant, but will
give to your
servant a
son, then I will
give him to the
Lord all the
days of his
life,
gand no
razor shall
touch his
head.”
(THOT)
וְהָיָה כִּי הִרְבְּתָה לְהִתְפַּלֵּל לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וְעֵלִי שֹׁמֵר אֶת־פִּֽיהָ׃
(ESV)
As she
continued praying before the
Lord,
Eli observed her
mouth.
(THOT)
וְחַנָּה הִיא מְדַבֶּרֶת עַל־לִבָּהּ רַק שְׂפָתֶיהָ נָּעוֹת וְקוֹלָהּ לֹא יִשָּׁמֵעַ וַיַּחְשְׁבֶהָ עֵלִי לְשִׁכֹּרָֽה׃
(ESV)
Hannah was
speaking in her
heart; only her
lips moved, and her
voice was not
heard. Therefore
Eli took her to be a
drunken woman.
(THOT)
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ עֵלִי עַד־מָתַי תִּשְׁתַּכָּרִין הָסִירִי אֶת־יֵינֵךְ מֵעָלָֽיִךְ׃
(ESV)
And
Eli said to her, “
How long will you go on being
drunk? Put your
wine away from you.”
