撒母耳的出生
1有一個以法蓮人名叫以利加拿,住在以法蓮山區的拉瑪·瑣非城.他是蘇弗的玄孫,托戶的曾孫,以利戶的孫子,耶羅罕的兒子. 2他有兩個妻子,一個叫哈娜,一個叫毗尼娜.毗尼娜有兒有女,哈娜卻無兒無女.
3以利加拿每年都從家鄉到示羅去敬拜萬軍之耶和華,獻上祭物.當時以利的兩個兒子何弗尼和非尼哈在那裡做耶和華的祭司. 4每當獻完祭後,以利加拿就會把祭肉分給毗尼娜和她的兒女. 5但他會給哈娜雙份祭肉,因為他愛哈娜,雖然耶和華使她不能生育. 6毗尼娜見她不能生育,便常常羞辱她,氣她. 7每年來到耶和華的殿時,毗尼娜總是惹她傷心哭泣,以致她吃不下飯. 8她的丈夫以利加拿對她說:「哈娜,你為什麼哭?為什麼不吃飯?為什麼心裡難過?有我不是比有十個兒子更好嗎?」
9一天,他們在示羅吃完飯後,哈娜起來禱告.當時,祭司以利正坐在耶和華殿門口的座位上. 10哈娜心中愁苦,一邊禱告一邊傷心地哭泣. 11她向上帝許願說:「萬軍之耶和華啊,如果你眷顧婢女的痛苦,不忘記婢女,賜給婢女一個兒子,我必讓他終生事奉你,永不剃他的頭1·11 參見民數記6章..」 12哈娜在耶和華面前禱告,以利注視著她的嘴唇. 13哈娜在心中默禱,只動嘴唇,不出聲音,以利以為她喝醉了, 14便對她說:「你要醉到什麼時候呢?醒醒酒吧!」 15哈娜答道:「我主啊,我沒有喝醉,我淡酒和烈酒都沒有喝.我是心裡非常愁苦,在耶和華面前傾訴心事. 16請不要以為我是墮落的女人,我心中非常悲傷痛苦,所以一直在禱告.」 17以利說:「你安心地回去吧,願以色列的上帝答應你的祈求.」 18哈娜說:「謝謝你恩待婢女.」於是,她就去吃飯,不再愁容滿面了.
19第二天,以利加拿一家清早起來敬拜耶和華,然後回到自己的家鄉拉瑪.以利加拿與哈娜同房,耶和華顧念哈娜, 20使她懷孕.她後來生了一個兒子,給孩子取名叫撒母耳,因為她說:「他是我向耶和華求來的.」
21第二年,以利加拿帶全家人前往示羅,向耶和華獻年祭並還所許的願. 22哈娜沒有跟他們同去,她告訴丈夫說:「孩子斷奶以後,我會把他帶去獻給耶和華,讓他永遠住在那裡.」 23以利加拿說:「就依你的意思吧.願耶和華成就祂的應許.」於是,她就留在家中哺養孩子,直到孩子斷奶. 24孩子斷奶以後,她就把他帶到示羅耶和華的殿,並帶去三頭公牛,十公斤麵粉和一袋酒. 25他們宰了一頭公牛後,就把孩子帶到以利面前. 26哈娜說:「我主啊,我敢在你面前起誓,我就是那一次站在你這裡向耶和華祈求的婦人. 27我求耶和華賜給我一個孩子,祂應允了我的祈求. 28現在,我將他獻給耶和華,讓他終身事奉耶和華.」
他便在那裡敬拜耶和華.
