10 She was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to Yahweh, weeping bitterly. 11 She vowed a vow, and said, "Yahweh of Armies, if you will indeed look at the affliction of your servant and remember me, and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a boy, then I will give him to Yahweh all the days of his life, and no razor shall come on his head."

12 As she continued praying before Yahweh, Eli saw her mouth. 13 Now Hannah spoke in her heart. Only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk. 14 Eli said to her, "How long will you be drunk? Get rid of your wine!"

15 Hannah answered, "No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have not been drinking wine or strong drink, but I poured out my soul before Yahweh. 16 Don’t consider your servant a wicked woman; for I have been speaking out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation."

17 Then Eli answered, "Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of him."

18 She said, "Let your servant find favor in your sight." So the woman went her way and ate; and her facial expression wasn’t sad any more.

19 They rose up in the morning early and worshiped Yahweh, then returned and came to their house to Ramah. Then Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and Yahweh remembered her.

20 When the time had come, Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she named him Samuel, saying, "Because I have asked him of Yahweh."

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。"
