and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and Yahweh remembered her. 001:020 It happened, when the time was come about, that Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she named him Samuel, [saying], Because I have asked him of Yahweh. 001:021 The man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to Yahweh the yearly sacrifice, and his vow. 001:022 But Hannah didn't go up; for she said to her husband, [I will not go up] until the child be weaned; and then I will bring him, that he may appear before Yahweh, and there abide forever. 001:023 Elkanah her husband said to her, Do what seems you good; wait until you have weaned him; only Yahweh establish his word. So the woman waited and nursed her son, until she weaned him. 001:024 When she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls, and one ephah of meal, and a bottle of wine, and brought him to the house of Yahweh in Shiloh: and the child was young. 001:025 They killed the bull, and brought the child to Eli. 001:026 She said, Oh, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to Yahweh. 001:027 For this child I prayed; and Yahweh has given me my petition which I asked of him: 001:028 therefore also I have granted him to Yahweh; as long as he lives he is granted to Yahweh. He worshiped Yahweh there. 002:001 Hannah prayed, and said: My heart exults in Yahweh! My horn is exalted in Yahweh. My mouth is enlarged over my enemies, because I rejoice in your salvation. 002:002 There is no one as holy as Yahweh, For there is no one besides you, nor is there any rock like our God. 002:003 Talk no more so exceeding proudly. Don't let arrogance come out of your mouth, For Yahweh is a God of knowledge. By him actions are weighed. 002:004 The bows of the mighty men are broken. Those who stumbled are girded with strength. 002:005 Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread. Those who were hungry have ceased [to hunger]. Yes, the barren has borne seven. She who has many children languishes. 002:006 Yahweh kills, and makes alive. He brings down to Sheol, and brings up. 002:007 Yahweh makes poor, and makes rich. He brings low, he also lifts up. 002:008 He raises up the poor out of the dust. He lifts up the needy from the dunghill, To make them sit with princes, and inherit the throne of glory, for the pillars of the earth are Yahweh's. He has set the world on them. 002:009 He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness; for no man shall prevail by strength. 002:010 Those who strive with Yahweh shall be broken to pieces. He will thunder against them in the sky. Yahweh will judge the ends of the earth.
