Ná Israelni barima bi a ɔde Elkana wɔ yerenom mmienu. Baako de Hanah, ɛnna baako nso de Penina. Nanso na Elkana dɔ Hanah paa. Da biara, na Penina serew Hanah efisɛ na Hanah nni ba biara. Nanso Penina deɛ, na ɔwɔ mma pii. Afe biara, na Elkana ne n’abusua kɔ Silo kɔsom wɔ asɔrefie hɔ. Bere bi a wɔkɔɔ hɔ no, Elkana huu sɛ ne dɔfo Hanah werɛ ahow paa. Ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: ‘Hanah mesrɛ wo, gyae su. Mewɔ hɔ ma wo. Medɔ wo.’

Akyiri yi, Hanah nko ara kɔe sɛ ɔrekɔbɔ mpae. Ɔrebɔ mpae nyinaa na ɔresu, na ɔsrɛɛ Yehowa sɛ ɔmmoa no. Ɔhyɛɛ Yehowa bɔ sɛ: ‘Yehowa, sɛ woma me ɔbabarima a, mede no bɛma wo, na ɔbɛsom wo ne nkwa nna nyinaa.’
