New Living Translation (NLT)
1 Samuel 1
22 But Hannah did not go. She told her husband, “Wait until the boy is weaned. Then I will take him to the Tabernacle and leave him there with the LORD permanently.”
23 “Whatever you think is best,” Elkanah agreed. “Stay here for now, and may the LORD help you keep your promise.” So she stayed home and nursed the boy until he was weaned.
24 When the child was weaned, Hannah took him to the Tabernacle in Shiloh. They brought along a three-year-old bull for the sacrifice and a basket of flour and some wine.
25 After sacrificing the bull, they brought the boy to Eli.
26 “Sir, do you remember me?” Hannah asked. “I am the woman who stood here several years ago praying to the LORD.
27 I asked the LORD to give me this boy, and he has granted my request.
28 Now I am giving him to the LORD, and he will belong to the LORD his whole life.” And they worshiped the LORD there.
1 Samuel 2
1 Then Hannah prayed: “My heart rejoices in the LORD! The LORD has made me strong. Now I have an answer for my enemies; I rejoice because you rescued me.
2 No one is holy like the LORD! There is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.
3 “Stop acting so proud and haughty! Don’t speak with such arrogance! For the LORD is a God who knows what you have done; he will judge your actions.
4 The bow of the mighty is now broken, and those who stumbled are now strong.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
