1Ἄνθρωπος ἦν ἐξ Αρμαθαιμ Σιφα ἐξ ὄρους Εφραιμ, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Ελκανα υἱὸς Ιερεμεηλ υἱοῦ Ηλιου υἱοῦ Θοκε ἐν Νασιβ Εφραιμ. There was a man of Armathaim Sipha of mount Ephraim and his name [was] Helkana a son of Jeremeel the son of Elias the son of Thoke in Nasib Ephraim.SAMUEL 1. ELI - Judge at Shiloh. Birth of SAMUEL. 1Sm.1.1-20
2καὶ τούτῳ δύο γυναῖκες· ὄνομα τῇ μιᾷ Αννα, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ δευτέρᾳ Φεννανα· καὶ ἦν τῇ Φεννανα παιδία, καὶ τῇ Αννα οὐκ ἦν παιδίον. And he [had] two wives; the name of the one [was] Anna and the name of the second Phennana. And Phennana had children but Anna had no child. 
3καὶ ἀνέβαινεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ἡμερῶν εἰς ἡμέρας ἐκ πόλεως αὐτοῦ ἐξ Αρμαθαιμ προσκυνεῖν καὶ θύειν τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ σαβαωθ εἰς Σηλω· καὶ ἐκεῖ Ηλι καὶ οἱ δύο υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ Οφνι καὶ Φινεες ἱερεῖς τοῦ κυρίου. And the man went up from year to year from his city from Armathaim to worship and sacrifice to the Lord God of Sabaoth at Selom: and [there were] Heli and his two sons Ophni and Phinees the priests of the Lord. 
4καὶ ἐγενήθη ἡμέρᾳ καὶ ἔθυσεν Ελκανα καὶ ἔδωκεν τῇ Φεννανα γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτῆς καὶ ταῖς θυγατράσιν αὐτῆς μερίδας· And the day came and Helkana sacrificed and gave portions to his wife Phennana and her children. 
5καὶ τῇ Αννα ἔδωκεν μερίδα μίαν, ὅτι οὐκ ἦν αὐτῇ παιδίον· πλὴν ὅτι τὴν Ανναν ἠγάπα Ελκανα ὑπὲρ ταύτην, καὶ κύριος ἀπέκλεισεν τὰ περὶ τὴν μήτραν αὐτῆς· And to Anna he gave a prime portion because she had no child only Helkana loved Anna more than the other; but the Lord [had] closed her womb. 
6ὅτι οὐκ ἔδωκεν αὐτῇ κύριος παιδίον κατὰ τὴν θλῖψιν αὐτῆς καὶ κατὰ τὴν ἀθυμίαν τῆς θλίψεως αὐτῆς, καὶ ἠθύμει διὰ τοῦτο, ὅτι συνέκλεισεν κύριος τὰ περὶ τὴν μήτραν αὐτῆς τοῦ μὴ δοῦναι αὐτῇ παιδίον. For the Lord gave her no child in her affliction and according to the despondency of her affliction; and she was dispirited on this account that the Lord shut up her womb so as not to give her a child. 
7οὕτως ἐποίει ἐνιαυτὸν κατ' ἐνιαυτὸν ἐν τῷ ἀναβαίνειν αὐτὴν εἰς οἶκον κυρίου· καὶ ἠθύμει καὶ ἔκλαιεν καὶ οὐκ ἤσθιεν. So she did year by year in going up to the house of the Lord; and she was dispirited and wept and did not eat. 
8καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Ελκανα ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς Αννα. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἰδοὺ ἐγώ, κύριε. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Τί ἐστίν σοι, ὅτι κλαίεις; καὶ ἵνα τί οὐκ ἐσθίεις; καὶ ἵνα τί τύπτει σε ἡ καρδία σου; οὐκ ἀγαθὸς ἐγώ σοι ὑπὲρ δέκα τέκνα; And Helkana her husband said to her Anna: and she said to him Here [am] I my lord: and he said to her What ails thee that thou weepest? and why dost thou not eat? and why does thy heart smite thee? [am] I not better to thee than ten children? 
9καὶ ἀνέστη Αννα μετὰ τὸ φαγεῖν αὐτοὺς ἐν Σηλω καὶ κατέστη ἐνώπιον κυρίου, καὶ Ηλι ὁ ἱερεὺς ἐκάθητο ἐπὶ τοῦ δίφρου ἐπὶ τῶν φλιῶν ναοῦ κυρίου. And Anna rose up after they had eaten in Selom and stood before the Lord: and Heli the priest [was] on a seat by the threshold of the temple of the Lord. 
10καὶ αὐτὴ κατώδυνος ψυχῇ καὶ προσηύξατο πρὸς κύριον καὶ κλαίουσα ἔκλαυσεν And she [was] very much grieved in spirit and prayed to the Lord and wept abundantly. 
11καὶ ηὔξατο εὐχὴν κυρίῳ λέγουσα Αδωναι κύριε ελωαι σαβαωθ, ἐὰν ἐπιβλέπων ἐπιβλέψῃς ἐπὶ τὴν ταπείνωσιν τῆς δούλης σου καὶ μνησθῇς μου καὶ δῷς τῇ δούλῃ σου σπέρμα ἀνδρῶν, καὶ δώσω αὐτὸν ἐνώπιόν σου δοτὸν ἕως ἡμέρας θανάτου αὐτοῦ, καὶ οἶνον καὶ μέθυσμα οὐ πίεται, καὶ σίδηρος οὐκ ἀναβήσεται ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ. And she vowed a vow to the Lord saying O Lord God of Sabaoth if thou welt indeed look upon the humiliation of thine handmaid and remember me 
12καὶ ἐγενήθη ὅτε ἐπλήθυνεν προσευχομένη ἐνώπιον κυρίου, καὶ Ηλι ὁ ἱερεὺς ἐφύλαξεν τὸ στόμα αὐτῆς· And it came to pass while she was long praying before the Lord that Heli the priest marked her mouth. 
13καὶ αὐτὴ ἐλάλει ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς, καὶ τὰ χείλη αὐτῆς ἐκινεῖτο, καὶ φωνὴ αὐτῆς οὐκ ἠκούετο· καὶ ἐλογίσατο αὐτὴν Ηλι εἰς μεθύουσαν. And she was speaking in her heart and her lips moved but her voice was not heard: and Heli accounted her a drunken woman. 
14καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ τὸ παιδάριον Ηλι Ἕως πότε μεθυσθήσῃ; περιελοῦ τὸν οἶνόν σου καὶ πορεύου ἐκ προσώπου κυρίου. And the servant of Heli said to her How long wilt thou be drunken? take away thy wine from thee and go out from the presence of the Lord. 
15καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Αννα καὶ εἶπεν Οὐχί, κύριε· γυνή, ᾗ σκληρὰ ἡμέρα, ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ οἶνον καὶ μέθυσμα οὐ πέπωκα καὶ ἐκχέω τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐνώπιον κυρίου· And Anna answered and said Nay my lord [I live] in a hard day and I have not drunk wine or strong drink 
16μὴ δῷς τὴν δούλην σου εἰς θυγατέρα λοιμήν, ὅτι ἐκ πλήθους ἀδολεσχίας μου ἐκτέτακα ἕως νῦν. Count not thy handmaid for a pestilent woman for by reason of the abundance of my importunity I have continued [my prayer] until now. 
17καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Ηλι καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Πορεύου εἰς εἰρήνην· ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ δῴη σοι πᾶν αἴτημά σου, ὃ ᾐτήσω παρ' αὐτοῦ. And Heli answered and said to her Go in peace: the God of Israel give thee all thy petition which thou hast asked of him. 
18καὶ εἶπεν Εὗρεν ἡ δούλη σου χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου. καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἡ γυνὴ εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτῆς καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸ κατάλυμα αὐτῆς καὶ ἔφαγεν μετὰ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς καὶ ἔπιεν, καὶ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς οὐ συνέπεσεν ἔτι. And she said Thine handmaid has found favour in thine eyes: and the woman went her way and entered into her lodging and ate and drank with her husband and her countenance was no more sad. 
19καὶ ὀρθρίζουσιν τὸ πρωῒ καὶ προσκυνοῦσιν τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ πορεύονται τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτῶν. καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ελκανα εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ Αρμαθαιμ καὶ ἔγνω τὴν Ανναν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐμνήσθη αὐτῆς κύριος, And they rise early in the morning and worship the Lord and they go their way: and Helkana went into his house at Armathaim and knew his wife Anna; and the Lord remembered her and she conceived. 
20καὶ συνέλαβεν. καὶ ἐγενήθη τῷ καιρῷ τῶν ἡμερῶν καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱόν· καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Σαμουηλ καὶ εἶπεν Ὅτι παρὰ κυρίου θεοῦ σαβαωθ ᾐτησάμην αὐτόν. And it came to pass when the time was come that she brought forth a son and called his name Samuel and said Because I asked him of the Lord God of Sabaoth. 
21Καὶ ἀνέβη ὁ ἄνθρωπος Ελκανα καὶ πᾶς ὁ οἶκος αὐτοῦ θῦσαι ἐν Σηλωμ τὴν θυσίαν τῶν ἡμερῶν καὶ τὰς εὐχὰς αὐτοῦ καὶ πάσας τὰς δεκάτας τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ· And the man Helkana and all his house went up to offer in Selom the yearly sacrifice and his vows and all the tithes of his land.Dedication of Samuel. 1Sm.1.21-28
22καὶ Αννα οὐκ ἀνέβη μετ' αὐτοῦ, ὅτι εἶπεν τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς Ἕως τοῦ ἀναβῆναι τὸ παιδάριον, ἐὰν ἀπογαλακτίσω αὐτό, καὶ ὀφθήσεται τῷ προσώπῳ κυρίου καὶ καθήσεται ἐκεῖ ἕως αἰῶνος. But Anna did not go up with him for she said to her husband [I will not go up] until the child goes up when I have weaned him and he shall be presented before the Lord 
23καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Ελκανα ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς Ποίει τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου· κάθου, ἕως ἂν ἀπογαλακτίσῃς αὐτό· ἀλλὰ στήσαι κύριος τὸ ἐξελθὸν ἐκ τοῦ στόματός σου. καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἡ γυνὴ καὶ ἐθήλασεν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς, ἕως ἂν ἀπογαλακτίσῃ αὐτόν. And Helkana her husband said to her Do that which is good in thine eyes abide still until thou shalt have weaned him; but may the Lord establish that which comes out of thy mouth: and the woman tarried and suckled her son until she had weaned him. 
24καὶ ἀνέβη μετ' αὐτοῦ εἰς Σηλωμ ἐν μόσχῳ τριετίζοντι καὶ ἄρτοις καὶ οιφι σεμιδάλεως καὶ νεβελ οἴνου καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς οἶκον κυρίου ἐν Σηλωμ, καὶ τὸ παιδάριον μετ' αὐτῶν. And she went up with him to Selom with a calf of three years old and loaves and an ephah of fine flour and a bottle of wine: and she entered into the house of the Lord in Selom and the child with them. 
25καὶ προσήγαγον ἐνώπιον κυρίου, καὶ ἔσφαξεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ τὴν θυσίαν, ἣν ἐποίει ἐξ ἡμερῶν εἰς ἡμέρας τῷ κυρίῳ, καὶ προσήγαγεν τὸ παιδάριον καὶ ἔσφαξεν τὸν μόσχον. καὶ προσήγαγεν Αννα ἡ μήτηρ τοῦ παιδαρίου πρὸς Ηλι And they brought him before the Lord; and his father slew his offering which he offered from year to year to the Lord; and he brought near the child and slew the calf; and Anna the mother of the child brought him to Heli. 
26καὶ εἶπεν Ἑν ἐμοί, κύριε· ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου, ἐγὼ ἡ γυνὴ ἡ καταστᾶσα ἐνώπιόν σου ἐν τῷ προσεύξασθαι πρὸς κύριον· And she said I pray thee my lord as thy soul liveth I [am] the woman that stood in thy presence with thee while praying to the Lord. 
27ὑπὲρ τοῦ παιδαρίου τούτου προσηυξάμην, καὶ ἔδωκέν μοι κύριος τὸ αἴτημά μου, ὃ ᾐτησάμην παρ' αὐτοῦ· For this child I prayed; and the Lord has given me my request that I asked of him. 
28κἀγὼ κιχρῶ αὐτὸν τῷ κυρίῳ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας, ἃς ζῇ αὐτός, χρῆσιν τῷ κυρίῳ. And I lend him to the Lord all his days that he lives a loan to the Lord: and she said

Notes:The Old Testament in Greek is Rahlf's LXX available in Word format at the Tyndale website, adapted to database format.
The alternative readings of the LXX - Judges (Alexandrinus), Daniel, Susanna & Bel (LXX received text), and Tobit (Sinaiticus [not printed in Swete]) as separate book references so that they can be viewed as an alternative text in parallel with the primary text.
(I have reversed the Swete presentation for Daniel, Susanna, Bel by listing in the later Theodotion LXX text as the main text.)
The LXX cross references to the Hebrew Bible have been extensively revised using those set out in Swete's 'Old Testament in Greek' publications between 1894 and 1909, amended in part to agree with verses as printed in the Biblia Hebraica 1937 publication).
Some verse cross references in Swete's had to be amended to agree with the BHS verse numbering, and there may well be some mismatches that I haven't yet picked up on. (If you find any errors please e-mail me.)
Hebrew Bible has been adapted from the BHS in Word format at Tyndale.
The Septuagint in English ( translated by Sir Lancelot CL Brenton) - is used here only for the books of the Hebrew Bible.
The Revised Standard Version: This generally follows the Hebrew Bible for the canonical OT so I have included the RSV Aprocrypha for the Greek books not covered by Brenton.
Ecclesiasticus - Sirach Chs.30-36: The text of these chapters from 30.24 to 36.16, is disordered.
I have followed Swete's verse numbering for the greek text.
Also, the RSV verse numbering differs from the NRSV.
The NRSV appears to have followed Swete's numbering here, so I have re-ordered the RSV to agree with both the NRSV & Swete for these chapters.
