1 Samuel 2:4-12
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
4The bows of the mighty are broken to pieces, But those who have stumbled strap on strength. 5Those who were full hire themselves out for bread, But those who were hungry cease to be hungry. Even the infertile woman gives birth to seven, But she who has many children languishes. 6The LORD puts to death and makes alive; He brings down to Sheol and brings up. 7The LORD makes poor and rich; He humbles, He also exalts. 8He raises the poor from the dust, He lifts the needy from the garbage heap To seat them with nobles, And He gives them a seat of honor as an inheritance; For the pillars of the earth are the LORD’S, And He set the world on them. 9He watches over the feet of His godly ones, But the wicked ones are silenced in darkness; For not by might shall a person prevail.King James Version
Chapter 2
4The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength. 5They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble. 6The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up. 7The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. 8He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, and he hath set the world upon them. 9He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail. 10The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 2
4The bows of the warriors are broken, but the feeble are clothed with strength. 5Those who are full hire themselves out for food, but those who are starving hunger no more. The woman who is childless gives birth to seven, but the woman with many sons pines away. 6The Lord brings death and gives life; he sends some down to Sheol, and he raises others up. 7The Lord brings poverty and gives wealth; he humbles and he exalts. 8He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the trash heap. He seats them with noblemen and gives them a throne of honor. For the foundations of the earth are the Lord's; he has set the world on them. 9He guards the steps of his faithful ones, but the wicked perish in darkness, for a person does not prevail by his own strength. 10Those who oppose the Lord will be shattered; he will thunder in the heavens against them. The Lord will judge the ends of the earth. He will give power to his king; he will lift up the horn of his anointed.New Living Translation
Chapter 2
4The bow of the mighty is now broken, and those who stumbled are now strong. 5Those who were well fed are now starving, and those who were starving are now full. The childless woman now has seven children, and the woman with many children wastes away. 6The LORD gives both death and life; he brings some down to the grave but raises others up. 7The LORD makes some poor and others rich; he brings some down and lifts others up. 8He lifts the poor from the dust and the needy from the garbage dump. He sets them among princes, placing them in seats of honor. For all the earth is the LORD's, and he has set the world in order.
9'He will protect his faithful ones, but the wicked will disappear in darkness. No one will succeed by strength alone.
10Those who fight against the LORD will be shattered. He thunders against them from heaven; the LORD judges throughout the earth. He gives power to his king; he increases the strength of his anointed one.'

Chapter 2
4The bows of the mighty are broken, but the feeble bind on strength. 5Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, but those who were hungry have ceased to hunger. The barren has borne seven, but she who has many children is forlorn. 6The LORD kills and brings to life; he brings down to Sheol and raises up. 7The LORD makes poor and makes rich; he brings low and he exalts. 8He raises up the poor from the dust; he lifts the needy from the ash heap to make them sit with princes and inherit a seat of honor. For the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s, and on them he has set the world. 9“He will guard the feet of his faithful ones, but the wicked shall be cut off in darkness, for not by might shall a man prevail. 10The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; against them he will thunder in heaven. The LORD will judge the ends of the earth; he will give strength to his king and exalt the horn of his anointed.” 11Then Elkanah went home to Ramah. And the boy was ministering to the LORD in the presence of Eli the priest.New International Version
5Those who were full hire themselves out for food, but those who were hungry are hungry no more. She who was barren has borne seven children, but she who has had many sons pines away.
6The LORD brings death and makes alive; he brings down to the grave and raises up.
7The LORD sends poverty and wealth; he humbles and he exalts.

Chapter 2
4Quebrados son los arcos de los fuertes, pero los débiles se ciñen de poder. 5Los que estaban saciados se alquilan por pan, y dejan de tener hambre los que estaban hambrientos. Aun la estéril da a luz a siete, mas la que tiene muchos hijos languidece. 6El SEÑOR da muerte y da vida ; hace bajar al Seol y hace subir. 7El SEÑOR empobrece y enriquece ; humilla y también exalta. 8Levanta del polvo al pobre, del muladar levanta al necesitado para hacerlos sentar con los príncipes, y heredar un sitio de honor; pues las columnas de la tierra son del SEÑOR, y sobre ellas ha colocado el mundo. 9El guarda los pies de sus santos, mas los malvados son acallados en tinieblas, pues no por la fuerza ha de prevalecer el hombre. 10Los que contienden con el SEÑOR serán quebrantados, El tronará desde los cielos contra ellos. El SEÑOR juzgará los confines de la tierra, a su rey dará fortaleza, y ensalzará el poder de su ungido.Nueva Biblia de las Américas

4Quebrados son los arcos de los fuertes, Pero los débiles se ciñen de poder. 5Los que estaban saciados se alquilan por pan, Y dejan de tener hambre los que estaban hambrientos. Aun la estéril da a luz a siete, Pero la que tiene muchos hijos desfallece. 6El SEÑOR da muerte y da vida; Hace bajar al Seol (región de los muertos) y hace subir. 7El SEÑOR empobrece y enriquece; Humilla y también exalta. 8Levanta del polvo al pobre, Del muladar levanta al necesitado Para hacerlos sentar con los príncipes, Y heredar un sitio de honor; Pues las columnas de la tierra son del SEÑOR, Y sobre ellas ha colocado el mundo. 9El guarda los pies de Sus santos, Pero los malvados son acallados en tinieblas, Pues no por la fuerza ha de prevalecer el hombre. 10Los que se oponen al SEÑOR serán quebrantados, El tronará desde los cielos contra ellos. El SEÑOR juzgará los confines de la tierra, Dará fortaleza a Su rey, Y ensalzará el poder de Su ungido.”Nueva Versión Internacional
Chapter 2
4»El arco de los poderosos se quiebra, pero los débiles recobran las fuerzas. 5Los que antes tenían comida de sobra se venden por un pedazo de pan; los que antes sufrían hambre ahora viven saciados. La estéril ha dado a luz siete veces, pero la que tenía muchos hijos languidece.
6»Del SEÑOR vienen la muerte y la vida; él nos hace bajar al sepulcro, pero también nos levanta.
7El SEÑOR da la riqueza y la pobreza; humilla, pero también enaltece.
8Levanta del polvo al desvalido y saca del basurero al pobre para sentarlos en medio de príncipes y darles un trono esplendoroso. »Del SEÑOR son los fundamentos de la tierra; ¡sobre ellos afianzó el mundo!
9Él guiará los pasos de sus fieles, pero los malvados se perderán entre las sombras. ¡Nadie triunfa por sus propias fuerzas!
Reina-Valera 1960
Chapter 2
4Los arcos de los fuertes fueron quebrados, Y los débiles se ciñeron de poder. 5Los saciados se alquilaron por pan, Y los hambrientos dejaron de tener hambre; Hasta la estéril ha dado a luz siete, Y la que tenía muchos hijos languidece. 6Jehová mata, y él da vida; El hace descender al Seol, y hace subir. 7Jehová empobrece, y él enriquece; Abate, y enaltece. 8Él levanta del polvo al pobre, Y del muladar exalta al menesteroso, Para hacerle sentarse con príncipes y heredar un sitio de honor. Porque de Jehová son las columnas de la tierra, Y él afirmó sobre ellas el mundo. 9Él guarda los pies de sus santos, Mas los impíos perecen en tinieblas; Porque nadie será fuerte por su propia fuerza. 10Delante de Jehová serán quebrantados sus adversarios, Y sobre ellos tronará desde los cielos; Jehová juzgará los confines de la tierra, Dará poder a su Rey, Y exaltará el poderío de su Ungido.Biblia del Jubileo
