1 Hannah also prayed and said,

"My heart exults in Yahweh;
my strength is exalted in Yahweh.
My mouth derides my enemies,
because I rejoice in your salvation.

Hannah's song of praise. 1Sm.2.1-10וַתִּתְפַּלֵּל חַנָּה וַתֹּאמַר עָלַץ לִבִּי בַּיהוָה רָמָה קַרְנִי בַּיהוָה רָחַב פִּי עַל־אֹויְבַי כִּי שָׂמַחְתִּי בִּישׁוּעָתֶךָ׃
2 "There is none holy like Yahweh,
there is none besides you;
there is no rock like our God.
 אֵין־קָדֹושׁ כַּיהוָה כִּי אֵין בִּלְתֶּךָ וְאֵין צוּר כֵּאלֹהֵינוּ׃
3 Talk no more so very proudly,
let not arrogance come from your mouth;
for Yahweh is a God of knowledge,
and by him actions are weighed.
 אַל־תַּרְבּוּ תְדַבְּרוּ גְּבֹהָה גְבֹהָה יֵצֵא עָתָק מִפִּיכֶם כִּי אֵל דֵּעֹות יְהוָה [כ= וְלֹא] [ק= וְלֹו] נִתְכְּנוּ עֲלִלֹות׃
4 The bows of the mighty are broken,
but the feeble gird on strength.
 קֶשֶׁת גִּבֹּרִים חַתִּים וְנִכְשָׁלִים אָזְרוּ חָיִל׃
5 Those 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.
 שְׂבֵעִים בַּלֶּחֶם נִשְׂכָּרוּ וּרְעֵבִים חָדֵלּוּ עַד־עֲקָרָה יָלְדָה שִׁבְעָה וְרַבַּת בָּנִים אֻמְלָלָה׃
6 Yahweh kills and brings to life;
he brings down to Sheol and raises up.
 יְהוָה מֵמִית וּמְחַיֶּה מֹורִיד שְׁאֹול וַיָּעַל׃
7 Yahweh makes poor and makes rich;
he brings low, he also exalts.
 יְהוָה מֹורִישׁ וּמַעֲשִׁיר מַשְׁפִּיל אַף־מְרֹוםֵם׃
8 He 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 honour.
For the pillars of the earth are YahwehS,
and on them he has set the world.
 מֵקִים מֵעָפָר דָּל מֵאַשְׁפֹּת יָרִים אֶבְיֹון לְהֹושִׁיב עִם־נְדִיבִים וְכִסֵּא כָבֹוד יַנְחִלֵם כִּי לַיהוָה מְצֻקֵי אֶרֶץ וַיָּשֶׁת עֲלֵיהֶם תֵּבֵל׃
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.
 רַגְלֵי [כ= חֲסִידֹו] [ק= חֲסִידָיו] יִשְׁמֹר וּרְשָׁעִים בַּחֹשֶׁךְ יִדָּמּוּ כִּי־לֹא בְכֹחַ יִגְבַּר־אִישׁ׃
10 The adversaries of Yahweh shall be broken to pieces;
against them he will thunder in heaven.
Yahweh will judge the ends of the earth;
he will give strength to his king,
and exalt the power of his anointed."
 יְהוָה יֵחַתּוּ [כ= מְרִיבֹו] [ק= מְרִיבָיו] [כ= עָלֹו] [ק= עָלָיו] בַּשָּׁמַיִם יַרְעֵם יְהוָה יָדִין אַפְסֵי־אָרֶץ וְיִתֶּן־עֹז לְמַלְכֹּו וְיָרֵם קֶרֶן מְשִׁיחֹו׃ ף
11 Then Elkanah went home to Ramah. And the boy ministered to Yahweh, in the presence of Eli the priest. Samuel ministers at Shiloh. 1Sm.2.11-26וַיֵּלֶךְ אֶלְקָנָה הָרָמָתָה עַל־בֵּיתֹו וְהַנַּעַר הָיָה מְשָׁרֵת אֶת־יְהוָה אֶת־פְּנֵי עֵלִי הַכֹּהֵן׃
12 Now the sons of Eli were worthless men; they had no regard for Yahweh.  וּבְנֵי עֵלִי בְּנֵי בְלִיָּעַל לֹא יָדְעוּ אֶת־יְהוָה׃
13 The custom of the priests with the people was that when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant would come, while the meat was boiling, with a three-pronged fork in his hand,  וּמִשְׁפַּט הַכֹּהֲנִים אֶת־הָעָם כָּל־אִישׁ זֹבֵחַ זֶבַח וּבָא נַעַר הַכֹּהֵן כְּבַשֵּׁל הַבָּשָׂר וְהַמַּזְלֵג שְׁלֹשׁ־הַשִּׁנַּיִם בְּיָדֹו׃
14 and he would thrust it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fork brought up the priest would take for himself. So they did at Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.  וְהִכָּה בַכִּיֹּור אֹו בַדּוּד אֹו בַקַּלַּחַת אֹו בַפָּרוּר כֹּל אֲשֶׁר יַעֲלֶה הַמַּזְלֵג יִקַּח הַכֹּהֵן בֹּו כָּכָה יַעֲשׂוּ לְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵל הַבָּאִים שָׁם בְּשִׁלֹה׃
15 Moreover, before the fat was burned, the priest's servant would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, "Give meat for the priest to roast; for he will not accept boiled meat from you, but raw."  גַּם בְּטֶרֶם יַקְטִרוּן אֶת־הַחֵלֶב וּבָא נַעַר הַכֹּהֵן וְאָמַר לָאִישׁ הַזֹּבֵחַ תְּנָה בָשָׂר לִצְלֹות לַכֹּהֵן וְלֹא־יִקַּח מִמְּךָ בָּשָׂר מְבֻשָּׁל כִּי אִם־חָי׃
16 And if the man said to him, "Let them burn the fat first, and then take as much as you wish," he would say, "No, you must give it now; and if not, I will take it by force."  וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הָאִישׁ קַטֵּר יַקְטִירוּן כַּיֹּום הַחֵלֶב וְקַח־לְךָ כַּאֲשֶׁר תְּאַוֶּה נַפְשֶׁךָ וְאָמַר [כ= לֹו] [ק= לֹא] כִּי עַתָּה תִתֵּן וְאִם־לֹא לָקַחְתִּי בְחָזְקָה׃
17 Thus the sin of the young men was very great in the sight of Yahweh; for the men treated the offering of Yahweh with contempt.  וַתְּהִי חַטַּאת הַנְּעָרִים גְּדֹולָה מְאֹד אֶת־פְּנֵי יְהוָה כִּי נִאֲצוּ הָאֲנָשִׁים אֵת מִנְחַת יְהוָה׃
18 Samuel was ministering before Yahweh, a boy girded with a linen ephod.  וּשְׁמוּאֵל מְשָׁרֵת אֶת־פְּנֵי יְהוָה נַעַר חָגוּר אֵפֹוד בָּד׃
19 And his mother used to make for him a little robe and take it to him each year, when she went up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.  וּמְעִיל קָטֹן תַּעֲשֶׂה־לֹּו אִמֹּו וְהַעַלְתָה לֹו מִיָּמִים יָמִימָה בַּעֲלֹותָהּ אֶת־אִישָׁהּ לִזְבֹּחַ אֶת־זֶבַח הַיָּמִים׃
20 Then Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, and say, "Yahweh give you children by this woman for the loan which she lent to Yahweh"; so then they would return to their home.  וּבֵרַךְ עֵלִי אֶת־אֶלְקָנָה וְאֶת־אִשְׁתֹּו וְאָמַר יָשֵׂם יְהוָה לְךָ זֶרַע מִן־הָאִשָּׁה הַזֹּאת תַּחַת הַשְּׁאֵלָה אֲשֶׁר שָׁאַל לַיהוָה וְהָלְכוּ לִמְקֹמֹו׃
21 And Yahweh visited Hannah, and she conceived and bore three sons and two daughters. And the boy Samuel grew in the presence of Yahweh.  כִּי־פָקַד יְהוָה אֶת־חַנָּה וַתַּהַר וַתֵּלֶד שְׁלֹשָׁה־בָנִים וּשְׁתֵּי בָנֹות וַיִּגְדַּל הַנַּעַר שְׁמוּאֵל עִם־יְהוָה׃ ס
22 Now Eli was very old, and he heard all that his sons were doing to all Israel, and how they lay with the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting.  וְעֵלִי זָקֵן מְאֹד וְשָׁמַע אֵת כָּל־אֲשֶׁר יַעֲשׂוּן בָּנָיו לְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאֵת אֲשֶׁר־יִשְׁכְּבוּן אֶת־הַנָּשִׁים הַצֹּבְאֹות פֶּתַח אֹהֶל מֹועֵד׃
23 And he said to them, "Why do you do such things? For I hear of your evil dealings from all the people.  וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם לָמָּה תַעֲשׂוּן כַּדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי שֹׁמֵעַ אֶת־דִּבְרֵיכֶם רָעִים מֵאֵת כָּל־הָעָם אֵלֶּה׃
24 No, my sons; it is no good report that I hear the people of Yahweh spreading abroad.  אַל בָּנָי כִּי לֹוא־טֹובָה הַשְּׁמֻעָה אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי שֹׁמֵעַ מַעֲבִרִים עַם־יְהוָה׃
25 If a man sins against a man, God will mediate for him; but if a man sins against Yahweh, who can intercede for him?" But they would not listen to the voice of their father; for it was the will of Yahweh to slay them.  אִם־יֶחֱטָא אִישׁ לְאִישׁ וּפִלְלֹו אֱלֹהִים וְאִם לַיהוָה יֶחֱטָא־אִישׁ מִי יִתְפַּלֶּל־לֹו וְלֹא יִשְׁמְעוּ לְקֹול אֲבִיהֶם כִּי־חָפֵץ יְהוָה לַהֲמִיתָם׃
26 Now the boy Samuel continued to grow both in stature and in favour with Yahweh and with men.  וְהַנַּעַר שְׁמוּאֵל הֹלֵךְ וְגָדֵל וָטֹוב גַּם עִם־יְהוָה וְגַם עִם־אֲנָשִׁים׃ ס
27 And there came a man of God to Eli, and said to him, "Thus Yahweh has said, 'I revealed myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt subject to the house of Pharaoh. Eli's prophet of doom. 1Sm.2.27-36וַיָּבֹא אִישׁ־אֱלֹהִים אֶל־עֵלִי וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה הֲנִגְלֹה נִגְלֵיתִי אֶל־בֵּית אָבִיךָ בִּהְיֹותָם בְּמִצְרַיִם לְבֵית פַּרְעֹה׃
28 And I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me; and I gave to the house of your father all my offerings by fire from the people of Israel.  וּבָחֹר אֹתֹו מִכָּל־שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לִי לְכֹהֵן לַעֲלֹות עַל־מִזְבְּחִי לְהַקְטִיר קְטֹרֶת לָשֵׂאת אֵפֹוד לְפָנָי וָאֶתְּנָה לְבֵית אָבִיךָ אֶת־כָּל־אִשֵּׁי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃
29 Why then look with greedy eye at my sacrifices and my offerings which I commanded, and honour your sons above me by fattening yourselves upon the choicest parts of every offering of my people Israel?  לָמָּה תִבְעֲטוּ בְּזִבְחִי וּבְמִנְחָתִי אֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתִי מָעֹון וַתְּכַבֵּד אֶת־בָּנֶיךָ מִמֶּנִּי לְהַבְרִיאֲכֶם מֵרֵאשִׁית כָּל־מִנְחַת יִשְׂרָאֵל לְעַמִּי׃
30 Therefore Yahweh the God of Israel declares: 'I promised that your house and the house of your father should go in and out before me for ever'; but now Yahweh declares: 'Far be it from me; for those who honour me I will honour, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.  לָכֵן נְאֻם־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אָמֹור אָמַרְתִּי בֵּיתְךָ וּבֵית אָבִיךָ יִתְהַלְּכוּ לְפָנַי עַד־עֹולָם וְעַתָּה נְאֻם־יְהוָה חָלִילָה לִּי כִּי־מְכַבְּדַי אֲכַבֵּד וּבֹזַי יֵקָלּוּ׃
31 Behold, the days are coming, when I will cut off your strength and the strength of your father's house, so that there will not be an old man in your house.  הִנֵּה יָמִים בָּאִים וְגָדַעְתִּי אֶת־זְרֹעֲךָ וְאֶת־זְרֹעַ בֵּית אָבִיךָ מִהְיֹות זָקֵן בְּבֵיתֶךָ׃
32 Then in distress you will look with envious eye on all the prosperity which shall be bestowed upon Israel; and there shall not be an old man in your house for ever.  וְהִבַּטְתָּ צַר מָעֹון בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר־יֵיטִיב אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלֹא־יִהְיֶה זָקֵן בְּבֵיתְךָ כָּל־הַיָּמִים׃
33 The man of you whom I shall not cut off from my altar shall be spared to weep out his eyes and grieve his heart; and all the increase of your house shall die by the sword of men.  וְאִישׁ לֹא־אַכְרִית לְךָ מֵעִם מִזְבְּחִי לְכַלֹּות אֶת־עֵינֶיךָ וְלַאֲדִיב אֶת־נַפְשֶׁךָ וְכָל־מַרְבִּית בֵּיתְךָ יָמוּתוּ אֲנָשִׁים׃
34 And this which shall befall your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, shall be the sign to you: both of them shall die on the same day.  וְזֶה־לְּךָ הָאֹות אֲשֶׁר יָבֹא אֶל־שְׁנֵי בָנֶיךָ אֶל־חָפְנִי וּפִינְחָס בְּיֹום אֶחָד יָמוּתוּ שְׁנֵיהֶם׃
35 And I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, who shall do according to what is in my heart and in my mind; and I will build him a sure house, and he shall go in and out before my anointed for ever.  וַהֲקִימֹתִי לִי כֹּהֵן נֶאֱמָן כַּאֲשֶׁר בִּלְבָבִי וּבְנַפְשִׁי יַעֲשֶׂה וּבָנִיתִי לֹו בַּיִת נֶאֱמָן וְהִתְהַלֵּךְ לִפְנֵי־מְשִׁיחִי כָּל־הַיָּמִים׃
36 And every one who is left in your house shall come to implore him for a piece of silver or a loaf of bread, and shall say, "Please put me in one of the priest's places, that I may eat a morsel of bread." '"  וְהָיָה כָּל־הַנֹּותָר בְּבֵיתְךָ יָבֹוא לְהִשְׁתַּחֲוֹת לֹו לַאֲגֹורַת כֶּסֶף וְכִכַּר־לָחֶם וְאָמַר סְפָחֵנִי נָא אֶל־אַחַת הַכְּהֻנֹּות לֶאֱכֹל פַּת־לָחֶם׃ ס

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have printed 'YHWH' in black. The later vowel sounds I have shown in the colour gray;
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
