1 Beše jedan čovek iz Ramatajim-Sofima, iz gore Jefremove, kome ime beše Elkana sin Jeroama, sina Eliva, sina Tova, sina Sufovog, Efraćanin. 2 I imaše dve žene, jednoj beše ime Ana a drugoj Fenina; i Fenina imaše dece, a Ana nemaše dece. 3 I iđaše taj čovek svake godine iz svog grada da se pokloni i prinese žrtvu Gospodu nad vojskama u Silom; a onde behu dva sina Ilijeva, Ofnije i Fines, sveštenici Gospodnji. 4 I jedan dan kad Elkana prinese žrtvu, dade Fenini ženi svojoj i svim sinovima njenim i kćerima njenim po deo; 5 Ani pak dade dva dela, jer ljubljaše Anu, a njoj Gospod beše zatvorio matericu. 6 I protivnica je njena vrlo cveljaše prkoseći joj što joj Gospod beše zatvorio matericu. 7 Tako činjaše Elkana svake godine, i Ana hođaše u dom Gospodnji, a ona je cveljaše, te plakaše i ne jeđaše. 8 A Elkana muž njen reče joj jednom: Ana, zašto plačeš? I zašto ne jedeš? I zašto je srce tvoje neveselo? Nisam li ti ja bolji nego deset sinova? 9 A Ana usta, pošto jedoše i piše u Silomu; a Ilije sveštenik seđaše na stolici, na pragu doma Gospodnjeg. 10 I ona, tužna u srcu pomoli se Gospodu plačući mnogo. 11 I zavetova se govoreći: Gospode nad vojskama! Ako pogledaš na muku sluškinje svoje, i opomeneš me se, i ne zaboraviš sluškinje svoje, nego daš sluškinji svojoj muško čedo, ja ću ga dati Gospodu dokle je god živ, i britva neće preći preko glave njegove. 12 I kad se ona dugo moljaše pred Gospodom, Ilije motraše na usta njena. 13 Ali Ana govoraše u srcu svom, usta joj se samo micahu a glas joj se ne čujaše; stoga Ilije pomisli da je pijana. 14 Pa joj reče Ilije: Dokle ćeš biti pijana? Otrezni se od vina svog. 15 Ali Ana odgovori i reče: Nisam pijana, gospodaru, nego sam žena tužna u srcu; nisam pila vina ni silovitog pića; nego izlivam dušu svoju pred Gospodom. 16 Nemoj jednačiti sluškinje svoje s nevaljalom ženom; jer sam od velike tuge i žalosti svoje govorila dosad. 17 Tada odgovori Ilije i reče: Idi s mirom; a Bog Izrailjev da ti ispuni molbu, za šta si Ga molila. 18 A ona reče: Neka nađe sluškinja tvoja milost pred tobom! Tada otide žena svojim putem, i jede, i lice joj ne beše više kao pre. 19 I sutradan uraniše, i pokloniše se Gospodu, i vratiše se i dođoše kući svojoj u Ramat. I Elkana pozna Anu ženu svoju, i Gospod se opomenu nje. 20 I kad bi vreme, pošto Ana zatrudne, rodi sina i nade mu ime Samuilo, jer, reče, isprosih ga u Gospoda. 21 Potom pođe onaj čovek Elkana sa svim domom svojim da prinese Gospodu godišnju žrtvu i zavet svoj. 22 Ali Ana ne pođe, jer reče mužu svom: Dokle odojim dete, onda ću ga odvesti da izađe pred Gospoda i ostane onde do veka. 23 I reče joj Elkana, muž njen: Čini kako ti drago; ostani dokle god ne odojiš; samo da hoće Gospod ispuniti reč svoju. I tako žena osta; i dojaše sina svog dokle ga ne odoji. 24 A kad ga odoji, odvede ga sa sobom uzevši tri teleta i efu brašna i meh vina, i uvede ga u dom Gospodnji u Silomu; a dete beše još malo. 25 I zaklaše tele i dovedoše dete k Iliju. 26 I ona reče: Čuj gospodaru, kako je živa duša tvoja, gospodaru, ja sam ona žena koja je stajala ovde kod tebe moleći se Gospodu. 27 Molih se za ovo dete, i ispuni mi Gospod molbu moju, za šta sam Ga molila. 28 Zato i ja dajem njega Gospodu, dokle je god živ, da je dat Gospodu. I pokloniše se onde Gospodu.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… of no man, softly and noiselessly; those which arise from a certain depth of mind, those shed in anguish and in sorrow, those which are for God alone; such as were Hannah's, for "her lips moved," it is said, "but her voice was not heard;" however, her tears alone uttered a cry more clear than any trumpet.

Since Moses too was pained, and prayed in this way and was heard; for this cause also God said unto him, "Wherefore criest thou unto me." And Hannah too again, her voice not being heard, accomplished all she wished, forasmuch as her heart cried out. But Abel prayed not only when silent, but even when dying, and his blood sent …
