Shmuel Alef 2:21-26 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

21. And Hashem visited Channah, so that she conceived, and bore three banim and two banot. And the na'ar Shmuel grew before Hashem.

22. Now Eli was zaken me'od, and heard all that his banim did unto kol Yisroel; and how they lay with the nashim hatzove'ot (women in ministry service) at the petach Ohel Mo'ed.

23. And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? For I hear of your evil deeds from kol HaAm (all the People).

24. Nay, my banim; for it is no good report that I hear; ye make Am Hashem to transgress.

25. If one ish sin against another ish, Elohim shall intervene as arbiter for him; but if an ish sin against Hashem, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding they paid heed not unto the kol avihem (voice of their father), because Hashem willed to execute them.

26. And the na'ar Shmuel was growing, and was in favor both with Hashem and also with anashim.
