1 Samuel 1:16-23
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
16 Do not consider your bond-servant a useless woman, for I have spoken until now out of my great concern and provocation.' 17 Then Eli answered and said, 'Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your request that you have asked of Him.' 18 She said, 'Let your bond-servant find favor in your sight.' So the woman went on her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.
19
Then they got up early in the morning and worshiped before the LORD, and returned again to their house in Ramah. And Elkanah had relations with Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her.
20
It came about in due time, after Hannah had conceived, that she gave birth to a son; and she named him Samuel, saying, 'Because I have asked for him of the LORD.'
21
Then the man Elkanah went up with all his household to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice and to pay his vow.
22
But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, 'I will not go until the child is weaned; then I will bring him, so that he may appear before the LORD and stay there for life.'
23
Elkanah her husband said to her, 'Do what seems best to you. Stay until you have weaned him; only may the LORD confirm His word.' So the woman stayed and nursed her son until she weaned him.
King James Version
Chapter 1
16 Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto. 17 Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him. 18 And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad.
19
And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.
20
Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the LORD.
21
And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer unto the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.
22
But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, I will not go up until the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide for ever.
23
And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only the LORD establish his word. So the woman abode, and gave her son suck until she weaned him.

Chapter 1
16 Don't think of me as a wicked woman; I've been praying from the depth of my anguish and resentment."
17
Eli responded, "Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant the request you've made of him."
18
"May your servant find favor with you," she replied. Then Hannah went on her way; she ate and no longer looked despondent.
19
The next morning Elkanah and Hannah got up early to worship before the Lord. Afterward, they returned home to Ramah. Then Elkanah was intimate with his wife Hannah, and the Lord remembered her.
20
After some time, Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, because she said, "I requested him from the Lord."
21
When Elkanah and all his household went up to make the annual sacrifice and his vow offering to the Lord,
22
Hannah did not go and explained to her husband, "After the child is weaned, I'll take him to appear in the Lord's presence and to stay there permanently."
23
Her husband, Elkanah, replied, "Do what you think is best, and stay here until you've weaned him. May the Lord confirm your word." So Hannah stayed there and nursed her son until she weaned him.
New Living Translation
Chapter 1
16 Don't think I am a wicked woman! For I have been praying out of great anguish and sorrow.'
17
'In that case,' Eli said, 'go in peace! May the God of Israel grant the request you have asked of him.'
18
'Oh, thank you, sir!' she exclaimed. Then she went back and began to eat again, and she was no longer sad.
19
The entire family got up early the next morning and went to worship the LORD once more. Then they returned home to Ramah. When Elkanah slept with Hannah, the LORD remembered her plea,
20
and in due time she gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, for she said, 'I asked the LORD for him.'
21
The next year Elkanah and his family went on their annual trip to offer a sacrifice to the LORD.
22
But Hannah did not go. She told her husband, 'Wait until the boy is weaned. Then I will take him to the Tabernacle and leave him there with the LORD permanently.'
23
'Whatever you think is best,' Elkanah agreed. 'Stay here for now, and may the LORD help you keep your promise.' So she stayed home and nursed the boy until he was weaned.

Chapter 1
16 Do not regard your servant as a worthless woman, for all along I have been speaking out of my great anxiety and vexation.” 17 Then Eli answered, “Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition that you have made to him.” 18 And she said, “Let your servant find favor in your eyes.” Then the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.
19
They rose early in the morning and worshiped before the LORD; then they went back to their house at Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her.
20
And in due time Hannah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Samuel, for she said, “I have asked for him from the LORD.”
21
The man Elkanah and all his house went up to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice and to pay his vow.
22
But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, “As soon as the child is weaned, I will bring him, so that he may appear in the presence of the LORD and dwell there forever.”
23
Elkanah her husband said to her, “Do what seems best to you; wait until you have weaned him; only, may the LORD establish his word.” So the woman remained and nursed her son until she weaned him.
New International Version
Chapter 1
16 Do not take your servant for a wicked woman; I have been praying here out of my great anguish and grief.'
17
Eli answered, 'Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of him.'
18
She said, 'May your servant find favor in your eyes.' Then she went her way and ate something, and her face was no longer downcast.
19
Early the next morning they arose and worshiped before the LORD and then went back to their home at Ramah. Elkanah made love to his wife Hannah, and the LORD remembered her.
20
So in the course of time Hannah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, 'Because I asked the LORD for him.'
21
When her husband Elkanah went up with all his family to offer the annual sacrifice to the LORD and to fulfill his vow,
22
Hannah did not go. She said to her husband, 'After the boy is weaned, I will take him and present him before the LORD, and he will live there always.'
23
Do what seems best to you,' her husband Elkanah told her. 'Stay here until you have weaned him; only may the LORD make good his word.' So the woman stayed at home and nursed her son until she had weaned him.

Chapter 1
16 No tengas a tu sierva por mujer indigna ; porque hasta ahora he orado a causa de mi gran congoja y aflicción. 17 Respondió Elí y dijo: Ve en paz ; y que el Dios de Israel te conceda la petición que le has hecho. 18 Y ella dijo: Halle tu sierva gracia ante tus ojos. Y la mujer se puso en camino, comió y ya no estaba triste su semblante.
19
Y se levantaron de mañana, adoraron delante del SEÑOR y regresaron de nuevo a su casa en Ramá. Y Elcana se llegó a Ana su mujer, y el SEÑOR se acordó de ella.
20
Y a su debido tiempo, después de haber concebido, Ana dio a luz un hijo, y le puso por nombre Samuel, diciendo: Porque se lo he pedido al SEÑOR.
21
Subió el varón Elcana con toda su casa a ofrecer al SEÑOR el sacrificio anual y a pagar su voto,
22
pero Ana no subió, pues dijo a su marido: No subiré hasta que el niño sea destetado; entonces lo llevaré para que se presente delante del SEÑOR y se quede allí para siempre.
23
Y Elcana su marido le dijo: Haz lo que mejor te parezca. Quédate hasta que lo hayas destetado; solamente confirme el SEÑOR su palabra. La mujer se quedó y crió a su hijo hasta que lo destetó.

Chapter 1
16 No tenga a su sierva por mujer indigna. Hasta ahora he estado orando a causa de mi gran congoja y aflicción.” 17 “Ve en paz,” le respondió Elí; “y que el Dios de Israel te conceda la petición que Le has hecho.” 18 “Halle su sierva gracia ante sus ojos,” le dijo ella. Entonces la mujer se puso en camino, comió y ya no estaba triste su semblante.
19
A la mañana siguiente se levantaron bien temprano, adoraron delante del SEÑOR y regresaron de nuevo a su casa en Ramá. Y Elcana se llegó a Ana su mujer, y el SEÑOR se acordó de ella.
20
Y a su debido tiempo, después de haber concebido, Ana dio a luz un hijo, y le puso por nombre Samuel (Oído por Dios), diciendo: “Porque se lo he pedido al SEÑOR.”
21
Subió el varón Elcana con toda su casa a ofrecer al SEÑOR el sacrificio anual y a pagar su voto.
22
Pero Ana no subió, pues dijo a su marido: “No subiré hasta que el niño sea destetado. Entonces lo llevaré para que se presente delante del SEÑOR y se quede allí para siempre.”
23
Elcana su marido le dijo: “Haz lo que mejor te parezca. Quédate hasta que lo hayas destetado; solamente confirme el SEÑOR Su palabra.” Ana se quedó y crió a su hijo hasta que lo destetó.

Chapter 1
16 No me tome usted por una mala mujer. He pasado este tiempo orando debido a mi angustia y aflicción.
17
?Vete en paz —respondió Elí—. Que el Dios de Israel te conceda lo que le has pedido.
18
?Gracias. Ojalá favorezca usted siempre a esta sierva suya. Con esto, Ana se despidió y se fue a comer. Desde ese momento, su semblante cambió.
19
Al día siguiente madrugaron y, después de adorar al SEÑOR, volvieron a su casa en Ramá. Luego Elcaná se unió a su esposa Ana, y el SEÑOR se acordó de ella.
20
Ana concibió y, pasado un año, dio a luz un hijo y le puso por nombre Samuel, pues dijo: «Al SEÑOR se lo pedí».
21
Cuando Elcaná volvió a salir con toda su familia para cumplir su promesa y ofrecer su sacrificio anual al SEÑOR,
22
Ana no lo acompañó. ?No iré hasta que el niño sea destetado —le explicó a su esposo—. Entonces lo llevaré para dedicarlo al SEÑOR, y allí se quedará el resto de su vida.
23
?Bien, haz lo que te parezca mejor —respondió su esposo Elcaná—. Quédate hasta que lo destetes, con tal de que el SEÑOR cumpla su palabra. Así pues, Ana se quedó en su casa y crió a su hijo hasta que lo destetó.

Chapter 1
16 No tengas a tu sierva por una mujer impía; porque por la magnitud de mis congojas y de mi aflicción he hablado hasta ahora. 17 Elí respondió y dijo: Ve en paz, y el Dios de Israel te otorgue la petición que le has hecho. 18 Y ella dijo: Halle tu sierva gracia delante de tus ojos. Y se fue la mujer por su camino, y comió, y no estuvo más triste.
19
Y levantándose de mañana, adoraron delante de Jehová, y volvieron y fueron a su casa en Ramá. Y Elcana se llegó a Ana su mujer, y Jehová se acordó de ella.
20
Aconteció que al cumplirse el tiempo, después de haber concebido Ana, dio a luz un hijo, y le puso por nombre Samuel, diciendo: Por cuanto lo pedí a Jehová.
21
Después subió el varón Elcana con toda su familia, para ofrecer a Jehová el sacrificio acostumbrado y su voto.
22
Pero Ana no subió, sino dijo a su marido: Yo no subiré hasta que el niño sea destetado, para que lo lleve y sea presentado delante de Jehová, y se quede allá para siempre.
23
Y Elcana su marido le respondió: Haz lo que bien te parezca; quédate hasta que lo destetes; solamente que cumpla Jehová su palabra. Y se quedó la mujer, y crió a su hijo hasta que lo destetó.
