삼상2:1 엘리의 두 아들  
   
삼상2:1 한나의 기도  
^2:1Hannah prayed, and said:  

 My heart exults in Yahweh;  

 My horn is exalted in Yahweh;  

 My mouth is enlarged over my enemies;  

 Because I rejoice in your salvation.  

 ^2:2There is none holy as Yahweh;  

 For there is none besides you,  

 Neither is there any rock like our God.  

 ^2:3Talk no more so exceeding proudly;  

 Don't let arrogance come out of your mouth;  

 For Yahweh is a God of knowledge,  

 By him actions are weighed.  

 ^2:4The bows of the mighty men are broken;  

 Those who stumbled are girded with strength.  

 ^2:5Those who were full have hired out themselves for bread;  

 Those who were hungry have ceased to hunger:  

 Yes, the barren has borne seven;  

 She who has many children languishes.  

 ^2:6Yahweh kills, and makes alive:  

 He brings down to Sheol, and brings up.  

 ^2:7Yahweh makes poor, and makes rich:  

 He brings low, he also lifts up.  

 ^2:8He raises up the poor out of the dust,  

 He lifts up the needy from the dunghill,  

 To make them sit with princes,  

 Inherit the throne of glory:  

 For the pillars of the earth are Yahweh's,  

 He has set the world on them.  

 ^2:9He will keep the feet of his holy ones;  

 But the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness;  

 For by strength shall no man prevail.  

 ^2:10Those who strive with Yahweh shall be broken to pieces;  

 Against them will he thunder in the sky:  

 Yahweh will judge the ends of the earth;  

 He will give strength to his king,  

 Exalt the horn of his anointed.  

^2:11Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. The child did minister to Yahweh before Eli the priest. 

삼상2:12 엘리 두 아들의 죄악  
^2:12Now the sons of Eli were base men; they didn't know Yahweh. ^2:13The custom of the priests with the people was that when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was boiling, with a flesh-hook of three teeth in his hand; ^2:14and he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the flesh-hook brought up the priest took therewith. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there. ^2:15Yes, before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man who sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have boiled flesh of you, but raw. ^2:16If the man said to him, They will surely burn the fat first, and then take as much as your soul desires; then he would say, No, but you shall give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force. ^2:17The sin of the young men was very great before Yahweh; for the men despised the offering of Yahweh. 

삼상2:18 어린 사무엘의 사역  
^2:18But Samuel ministered before Yahweh, being a child, girded with a linen ephod. ^2:19Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.  ^2:20Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, Yahweh give you seed of this woman for the petition which was asked of Yahweh. They went to their own home. ^2:21Yahweh visited Hannah, and she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters. The child Samuel grew before Yahweh. 

삼상2:22 엘리의 두 아들과 사무엘의 비교  
^2:22Now Eli was very old; and he heard all that his sons did to all Israel, and how that they lay with the women who served at the door of the tent of meeting. ^2:23He said to them, Why do you such things? for I hear of your evil dealings from all this people. ^2:24No, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: you make Yahweh's people to disobey. ^2:25If one man sin against another, God shall judge him; but if a man sin against Yahweh, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding, they didn't listen to the voice of their father, because Yahweh was minded to kill them. ^2:26The child Samuel grew on, and increased in favor both with Yahweh, and also with men. 

삼상2:27 엘리 가문의 멸망 예언  
^2:27There came a man of God to Eli, and said to him, Thus says Yahweh, Did I reveal myself to the house of your father, when they were in Egypt in bondage to Pharaoh's house? ^2:28and did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give to the house of your father all the offerings of the children of Israel made by fire? ^2:29Why kick you at my sacrifice and at my offering,  which I have commanded in my habitation, and honor your sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of Israel my people? ^2:30Therefore Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, I said indeed that your house, and the house of your father, should walk before me forever: but now Yahweh says, Be it far from me; for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed. ^2:31Behold, the days come, that I will cut off your arm, and the arm of your father's house, that there shall not be an old man in your house.  ^2:32You shall see the affliction of my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel; and there shall not be an old man in your house forever. ^2:33The man of yours, whom I shall not cut off from my altar, shall be to consume your eyes, and to grieve your heart; and all the increase of your house shall die in the flower of their age.  ^2:34This shall be the sign to you, that shall come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die both of them.  ^2:35I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before my anointed forever.  ^2:36It shall happen, that everyone who is left in your house shall come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say, Please put me into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread.
