10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore. 11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD 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, that Eli marked her mouth. 13 Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken. 14 And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee. 15 And Hannah 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. 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.

10 她心里愁苦， 就向耶和华祷告， 流泪痛哭，

11 并且许愿， 说： "万军之耶和华啊， 你若是看顾使女的困苦， 记念我， 不忘记你的使女， 赐给使女一个儿子， 我就必把他一生献给耶和华， 不剃他的头。"

12 哈拿向耶和华祷告了很久， 以利一直在注视她的嘴。

13 原来哈拿是在心中诉说， 只见她的嘴唇在动， 却听不见她的声音， 因此以利以为她是个喝醉了的女人。

14 以利就对她说： "你要醉到几时呢？快快醒过来吧！ "

15 哈拿回答： "我主啊， 不是的。我是个心灵愁苦的妇人， 淡酒烈酒都没有喝， 只不过在耶和华面前倾吐我的心意。

16 不要把你的使女看作不检点的女子， 我因为极度愁苦和激动， 才一直倾诉到现在。"

17 以利回答： "平平安安回去吧！ 愿以色列的 神把你所求的赐给你。"

18 哈拿说： "愿你的婢女在你眼前蒙恩！ "于是这妇人回去， 并且吃饭， 脸上再没有愁容。

19 第二天， 他们清早起来， 在耶和华面前敬拜， 然后回到他们的家乡拉玛， 回到自己的家里去。以利加拿和妻子哈拿同房； 耶和华顾念哈拿，

20 她就怀孕； 时候到了， 就生了一个儿子， 哈拿给他起名叫撒母耳， 因为她说： "他是我从耶和华那里求来的。"
