- And the LORD was gracious to Hannah; she conceived and gave birth to three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile, the boy Samuel grew up in the presence of the LORD.
- Now Eli, who was very old, heard about everything his sons were doing to all Israel and how they slept with the women who served at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
- So he said to them, "Why do you do such things? I hear from all the people about these wicked deeds of yours.
- No, my sons; it is not a good report that I hear spreading among the LORD's people.
- If a man sins against another man, God may mediate for him; but if a man sins against the LORD, who will intercede for him?" His sons, however, did not listen to their father's rebuke, for it was the LORD's will to put them to death.

- 耶和華眷顧哈拿、他就懷孕生了三個兒子、兩個女兒。那孩子撒母耳、在耶和華面前漸漸長大。
- 以利年甚老邁.聽見他兩個兒子待以色列眾人的事、又聽見他們與會幕門前伺候的婦人苟合。
- 他就對他們說、你們為何行這樣的事呢.我從這眾百姓聽見你們的惡行。
- 我兒阿、不可這樣、我聽見你們的風聲不好、你們使耶和華的百姓犯了罪。
- 人若得罪人、有士師審判他、人若得罪耶和華、誰能為他祈求呢.然而他們還是不聽父親的話、因為耶和華想要殺他們。
