1 Now there was a certain man of Ramatayim-Tzofim [double height of the watchers], of mount Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful], and his name [was] Elkanah [God Has Taken Possession], the son of Yerocham [showing pity], the son of Elihu [He is my God], the son of Tochu [lowly], the son of Tzuf [honeycomb], an Efrat [ashiness: fruitfulness]:
2 And he had two wives; the name of the one [was] Hannah [grace], and the name of the other P’ninah [jewel]: and P’ninah [jewel] had children, but Hannah [grace] had no children.
3 And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] in Shiloh [Place of Rest]. And the two sons of ‘Eli [ascension], Hofni [fighter] and Pinchas [mouth of brass], the priests of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), [were] there.
4 And when the time was that Elkanah [God Has Taken Possession] offered, he gave to P’ninah [jewel] his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:
5 But unto Hannah [grace] he gave a double portion; for he loved Hannah [grace]: but the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) had shut up her womb.
6 And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her be troubled (be grieved; be displeased), because the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) had shut up her womb.
7 And [as] he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.
8 Then said Elkanah [God Has Taken Possession] her husband to her, Hannah [grace], why weep youi? and why eat youi not? and why is youi heart grieved? [am] not I better to youi than ten sons?
9 So Hannah [grace] rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh [Place of Rest], and after they had drunk. Now ‘Eli [ascension] the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
10 And she [was] in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and wept sore.
11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], if youi will indeed look on the affliction of youi female servant, and remember me, and not forget youi female servant, but will give unto youi female servant a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.
12 And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that ‘Eli [ascension] marked her mouth.
13 Now Hannah [grace], she spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore ‘Eli [ascension] thought she had been drunken.
14 And ‘Eli [ascension] said unto her, How long will youi be drunken? put away youi wine from youi.
15 And Hannah [grace] answered and said, No, my lord, I [am] a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
16 Count not youi female servant for a daughter of Belial [Worthless, Good for Nothing]: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken up to this time.
17 Then ‘Eli [ascension] answered and said, Go in peace: and the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] grant [youi] youi petition that youi have asked of him.
18 And she said, Let youri female servant find grace in youri sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her Countenance (Face, appearance; show favor) was no more [sad].
19 And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and returned, and came to their house to Ramah [Hill]: and Elkanah [God Has Taken Possession] knew Hannah [grace] his wife; and the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) remembered her.
20 For what reason it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah [grace] had conceived, that she bore a son, and called his name Sh’mu’el [His name is El], [saying], Because I have asked him of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
21 And the man Elkanah [God Has Taken Possession], and all his house, went up to offer unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.
22 But Hannah [grace] 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-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and there abide forever.
23 And Elkanah [God Has Taken Possession] her husband said unto her, Do what seems youi good; wait until youi have weaned him; only the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) establish his word. So the woman abode, and gave her son suck until she weaned him.
24 And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one eifah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) in Shiloh [Place of Rest]: and the child [was] young.
25 And they killed a bullock, and brought the child to ‘Eli [ascension].
26 And she said, Oh my lord, [as] youi soul lives, my lord, I [am] the woman that stood by youi here, praying unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
27 For this child I prayed; and the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has given me my petition which I asked of him:
28 Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); as long as he lives he shall be lent to the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). And he worshipped the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) there.
