1 Samuel 2

Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible

2:1

ἡ καρδία μου ἐν κυρίῳ, ὑψώθη κέρας μου ἐν θεῷ μου· ἐπὶ ἐχθροὺς τὸ στόμα μου,

At that time Hannah prayed: “My heart rejoices in the LORD; is exalted in the LORD. My mouth speaks boldly against my enemies, for I rejoice in Your salvation.

2:2

ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἅγιος ὡς κύριος, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν δίκαιος ὡς ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν, οὐκ ἔστιν ἅγιος πλὴν σοῦ.

There is no one holy like the LORD. Indeed, there is no one besides You! And there is no Rock like our God.

2:3

μὴ καυχᾶσθε καὶ μὴ λαλεῖτε ὑψηλά, μὴ ἐξελθάτω μεγαλορημοσύνη ἐκ τοῦ στόματος ὑμῶν· ὅτι θεὸς γνώσεως κύριος, καὶ θεὸς ἑτοιμάζων ἐπιτηδεύματα αὐτοῦ.

Do not boast so proudly, or let arrogance come from your mouth, for the LORD is a God who knows, and by Him actions are weighed.

2:4

τόξον δυνατῶν ἠσθένησεν. καὶ ἀσθενοῦντες περιεζώσαντο δύναμιν·

The bows of the mighty are broken, but the feeble are equipped with strength.

2:5

πλήρεις ἄρτων ἠλαττώθησαν, καὶ ἀσθενοῦντες παρῆκαν γῆν. ὅτι στεῖρα ετεκεν ἔπτα, καὶ ἡ πολλὴ ἐν τέκνοις ἠσθένησεν.

The well-fed hire themselves out for food, but the starving hunger no more. The barren woman gives birth to seven, but she who has many sons pines away.

2:6

Κύριος θανατοῖ καὶ ζωογονεῖ, κατάγει εἰς ἅδου καὶ ἀνάγει·

The LORD brings death and gives life; He brings down to Sheol and raises up.

2:7

Κύριος θανατοῖ καὶ ζωογονεῖ, ταπεινοῖ καὶ ἀνυψοῖ.

The LORD sends poverty and wealth; He humbles and He exalts.

2:8

ἀνιστᾷ ἀπὸ γῆς πένητα, καὶ ἀπὸ κοπρίας ἐγείρει μετὰ δυναστῶν λαῶν, αὐτοῖς. καὶ εὐλόγησεν ἔτη δικαίου.

He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap. He seats them among princes and bestows on them a throne of honor. For the foundations of the earth are the LORD’s, and upon them He has set the world.

2:9

ὅτι οὐκ ἐν ἰσχύι δυνατὸς ἀνήρ·

He guards the steps of His faithful ones, but the wicked perish in darkness; for by his own strength shall no man prevail.

2:10

Κύριος ἀσθενῆ ποιήσει ἀντίδικον αὐτοῦ· κύριος ἅγιος. μὴ καυχάσθω ὁ φρόνιμος ἐν τῇ φρονήσει αὐτοῦ, καὶ μὴ καυχάσθω ὁ δυνατὸς ἐν τῇ δυνάμει αὐτοῦ, καὶ μὴ καυχάσθω ὁ πλούσιος ἐν τῷ πλούτῳ αὐτοῦ· ἁλλ’ ἢ ἐν τούτῳ καυχάσθω ὁ καυχώμενος, καὶ γινώσκειν τὸν κύριον, καὶ ποιεῖν κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην ἐν μέσῳ τῆς γῆς. Κύριος ἀνέβη εἰς οὐρανούς, καὶ ἐβρό αὐτὸς κρινεῖ ἄκρα γῆς. καὶ δίδωσιν ἰσχὺν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν ἡμῶν, καὶ ὑψώσει κέρας χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ.

Those who oppose the LORD will be shattered. He will thunder from heaven against them. The LORD will judge the ends of the earth and will give power to His king. He will exalt the horn of His anointed.”

2:11

Καὶ κατέλιπεν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ ἐνώπιον καὶ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς καὶ τὸ παιδάριον ἦν λειτουργῶν τῷ προσώπῳ κυρίου Ἤλει τοῦ ἱερέως.

Then Elkanah went home to Ramah, but the boy began ministering to the LORD before Eli the priest.

2:12

Καὶ υἱοὶ Ἤλει τοῦ ἱερέως υἱοὶ λοιμοί, οὐκ εἰδότες τὸν κύριον καὶ τὸ δικαίωμα τοῦ ἱερέως παρὰ τοῦ λαοῦ παντὸς τοῦ θύοντος·

Now the sons of Eli were wicked men; they had no regard for the LORD

2:13

καὶ ἤρχετο τὸ παιδάριον τοῦ ἱερέως ὡς ἂν ἡψήθη τὸ κρέας, κα κρεάγρα τριόδους ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ·

or for the custom of the priests with the people. When any man offered a sacrifice, the servant of the priest would come with a three-pronged meat fork while the meat was boiling

2:14

καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὴν εἰς τὸν λέβητα τὸν μέγαν ἢ εἰς τὸ χαλκίον ἢ εἰς τὴν κύθραν· πᾶν ὃ ἐὰν ἀνέβη ἐν τῆ κρεάγρᾳ ἐλάμβανεν ἑαυτῷ ὁ ἱερεύς· κατὰ τάδε ἐποίουν παντὶ Ἰσραήλ, τοῖς ἐρχομένοις θῦσαι κυρίῳ ἐν Σηλώμ.

and plunge it into the pan or kettle or cauldron or cooking pot. And the priest would claim for himself whatever the meat fork brought up. This is how they treated all the Israelites who came to Shiloh.

2:15

καὶ πρὶν θυμιαθῆναι στέαρ ἤρχετο τὸ παιδάριον τοῦ ἱερέως καὶ ἔλεγεν τῷ ἀνδρὶ τῷ θύοντι Δὸς κρέας ὀπτῆσαι τῷ ἱερεῖ, καὶ οὐ μὴ λάβω παρὰ σοῦ ἑφθὸν ἐκ τοῦ λέβητος.

Even before the fat was burned, the servant of the priest would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, “Give the priest some meat to roast, because he will not accept boiled meat from you, but only raw.”

2:16

καὶ ἔλεγεν ὁ ἀνὴρ ὁ θύων Θυμιαθήτω πρῶτον ὡς καθήκει τὸ στέαρ, καὶ λάβε σεαυτῷ ἐκ πάντων ὧν ἐπιθυμεῖ ἡ σου. καὶ εἶπεν οὐχί, ὅτι νῦν δώσεις· καὶ ἐὰν μή, λήμψομ

And if any man said to him, “The fat must be burned first; then you may take whatever you want,” the servant would reply, “No, you must give it to me right now. If you refuse, I will take it by force!”

2:17

καὶ ἦν ἡ ἁμαρτία ἐνώπιον Κυρίου τῶν παιδαρίων μεγάλη σφόδρα, ὅτι ἠθέτουν τὴν θυσίαν κυρίου.

Thus the sin of these young men was severe in the sight of the LORD, for were treating the LORD’s offering with contempt.

2:18

καὶ Σαμουὴλ ἢν λειτουργῶν ἐνώπιον κυρίου, παιδάριον περιεζωσμένον ἐφοὺδ βάρ.

Now Samuel was ministering before the LORD—a boy wearing a linen ephod.

2:19

καὶ διπλοίδα μικρὰν ἐποίησεν αὐτῷ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀνέφερεν αὐτῷ ἐξ ἡμερῶν εἰς ἡμέρας ἐν τῷ ἀναβαίνειν αὐτὴν μετὰ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς θῦσαι τὴν θυσίαν τῶν ἡμερῶν.

Each year his mother would make him a little robe and bring it to him when she went with her husband to offer the annual sacrifice.

2:20

καὶ εὐλόγησεν Ἤλει τὸν Ἐλκανὰ καὶ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ λέγων Ἀποτίσαι σοι Κύριος σπέρμα ἐκ τῆς γυναικὸς ταύτης ἀντὶ τοῦ χρέους οὗ ἔχρησας κυρίῳ· καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ.

And Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, saying, “May give you children by this woman in place of the one she dedicated to the LORD.” Then they would go home.

2:21

καὶ ἐπεσκέψατο κύριος τὴν Ἅνναν, καὶ ἔτεκεν ἔτι τρεῖς υἱοὺς καὶ δύο θυγατέρας· καὶ ἐμεγαλύνθη τὸ παιδάριον Σαμουὴλ ἐνώπιον Κυρίου.

So the LORD attended to Hannah, and she conceived and gave birth to three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile, the boy Samuel grew up in the presence of the LORD.

2:22

καὶ Ἤλει πρεσβύτης σφόδρα, καὶ ἤκουσεν ἃ ἐποίουν οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ·

Now Eli was very old, and he heard about everything his sons were doing to all Israel and how they were sleeping with the women who served at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

2:23

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ινα τί ποιεῖτε κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο ὃ ἐγὼ ἀκούω ἐκ στόματος παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ κυρίου

“Why are you doing these things?” Eli said to his sons. “I hear about your wicked deeds from all these people.

2:24

μή, τέκνα, ὅτι οὐκ ἀγαθὴ ἡ ἀκοὴ ἢν ἐγὼ ἀκούω· μὴ ποιεῖτε οὕτως, ὅτι οὐκ ἀγαθαὶ οἱ ἀκοαὶ ἃς ἐγὼ ἀκούω, τοῦ μὴ δουλεύει λαὸν θεῷ.

No, my sons; it is not a good report I hear circulating among the LORD’s people.

2:25

ἐὰν ἁμαρτάνων ἁμάρτῃ ἀνὴρ εἰς ἄνδρα, καὶ προσεύξονται ὑπὲρ αὐτοῦ πρὸς κύριον· καὶ ἐὰν τῷ κυρίῳ ἁμάρτῃ, τίς προσεύξεται ὑπὲρ αὐτοῦ; καὶ οὐκ ἤκουον τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν, ὅτι βουλόμενος ἐβούλετο Κύριος διαφθεῖραι αὐτούς.

If a man sins against another man, can intercede for him; but if a man sins against the LORD, who can intercede for him?” But they would not listen to their father, since the LORD intended to put them to death.

2:26

καὶ τὸ παιδάριον Σαμουὴλ ἐπορεύετο, καὶ ἀγαθὸν καὶ μετὰ Κυρίου καὶ μετὰ ἀνθρώπων.

And the boy Samuel continued to grow in stature and in favor with the LORD and with man.

2:27

Καὶ ἦλθεν ἄνθρωπος θεοῦ πρὸς Ἤλει καὶ εἶπεν τάδε λέγει κύριος Ἀποκαλυφθεὶς ἀπεκαλύφθην πρὸς οἶκον πατρός σου, ὄντων αὐτῶν ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ δούλων τῷ οἴκῳ Φαραώ·

Then a man of God came to Eli and told him, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Did I not clearly reveal Myself to your father’s house when they were in Egypt under Pharaoh’s house?

2:28

καὶ ἐξελεξάμην τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός σου ἐκ πόντων τῶν σκήπτρων Ἰσραὴλ ἐμοὶ ἱερατεύειν, καὶ ἀναβαίνειν ἐπὶ θυσιαστήριόν μου κα θυμιᾷν θυμίαμα καὶ αἴρειν ἐφούδ· καὶ ἔδωκα τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρός σου τὰ πάντα τοῦ πυρὸς υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ εἰς βρῶσιν.

And out of all the tribes of Israel I selected your father to be My priest, to offer sacrifices on My altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod in My presence. I also gave to the house of your father all the food offerings of the Israelites.

2:29

καὶ ἵνα τί ἐπέβλεψας ἐπὶ τὸ θυμίαμά μου καὶ εἰς τὴν θυσίαν μου ἀναιδεῖ ὀφθαλμῷ; καὶ ἐδόξασας τοὺς υἱούς σου ὑπὲρ ἐμὲ ἐνευλογεῖσθαι ἀπαρχῆς πόσης θυσίας Ἰσραὴλ ἔμπροσθέν μου;

Why then My sacrifice and offering that I have prescribed for My dwelling place? You have honored your sons more than Me by fattening yourselves with the best of all the offerings of My people Israel.’

2:30

διὰ τοῦτο τάδε εἶπεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ἰσραήλ Εἶπα Ὁ οἶκός σου καὶ οἱ οἶκος τοῦ πατρός σου διελεύσεται ἐνώπιόν μου ἕως αἰῶνος. καὶ νῦν φησὶν Κύριος Μηδαμῶς ἐμοί, ὅτι ἀλλ’ ἢ τοὺς δοξάζοντάς με δοξάσω, καὶ ὁ ἐξουθενῶν με ἀτιμωθήσεται.

Therefore, the LORD, the God of Israel, declares: ‘I did indeed say that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever. But now the LORD declares: Far be it from Me! For I will honor those who honor Me, but those who despise Me will be disdained.

2:31

ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται καὶ ἐξολεθρεύσω τὸ σπέρμα σου καὶ τὸ σπέρμα οἴκου πατρός σου,

Behold, the days are coming when I will cut off your strength and the strength of your father’s house, so that no one in it will reach old age.

2:32

καὶ οὐκ ἱστᾶι σου πρεσβύτης ἐν οἴκῳ μου πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας.

You will see distress in My dwelling place. Despite all that is good in Israel, no one in your house will ever again reach old age.

2:33

καὶ ἄνδρα οὐκ ἐξολεθρεύσω ἀπὸ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου μου, ἐκλιπεῖν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ καταρρεῖν τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ· καὶ πᾶς περισσεύων οἴκου σου πεσοῦνται ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ ἀνδρῶν.

And every one of you that I do not cut off from My altar, I will cause your eyes to fail and your heart . All will die by the sword .

2:34

καὶ τοῦτό σοι τὸ σημεῖον ὃ ἥξει ἐπὶ τοὺς δύο υἱούς σου τούτους, ‘οφνεὶ καὶ Φεινεές, ἐν ἡμέρᾳ μιᾷ ἀποθανοῦνται ἀμφότεροι.

And this sign shall come to you concerning your two sons Hophni and Phinehas: They will both die on the same day.

2:35

καὶ ἀναστήσω ἐμαυτῷ ἱερέα πιστόν, ὃς πάντα τὰ ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ μου καὶ τὰ ἐν τῇ ψυχῇ μου ποιήσει· καὶ οἰκοδομήσω αὐτῷ οἶκον πιστόν, καὶ διελεύσεται ἐνώπιον χριστοῦ μου πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας.

Then I will raise up for Myself a faithful priest. He will do whatever is in My heart and mind. And I will build for him an enduring house, and he will walk before My anointed one for all time.

2:36

καὶ ἔσται ὁ περισσεύων ἐν οἴκῳ ἥξει προσκυνεῖν αὐτῷ ὀβολοῦ ἀργυρίου λέγων Παράριψόν με ἐπὶ μίαν τῶν ἱερατειῶν σου φαγεῖν ἄρτον.

And everyone left in your house will come and bow down to him for a piece of silver or a morsel of bread, pleading, “Please appoint me to some priestly office so that I can eat a piece of bread.”’”
