One night Eli, whose eyes were becoming so weak that he could barely see, was lying down in his usual place.

一日，以利睡卧在自己的地方；他眼目昏花，看不分明。

那时，以利在自己的地方睡觉；他眼目开始昏花，不能看见。

那时，以利在自己的地方睡觉；他眼目开始昏花，不能看见。

一天晚上，老眼昏花的以利正睡在自己的房里。

有一天，以利躺卧在自己的地方，他的眼睛早已昏花，不能看得清楚了。

以利目眊不明、臥於己所、

One night Eli was lying down in his usual place. His eyes were becoming so weak he couldn’t see very well.

At that time Eli, whose eyesight had begun to grow dim so that he could not see, was lying down in his own place.

One night Eli, who was almost blind by now, had gone to bed.

One day Eli, whose eyesight was failing, was lying in his usual place.

But it happened at that time as Eli was lying down in his place( now his eyesight had begun to be poor and he could not see well),

And it came to pass at that time, while Eli was lying down in his place, and when his eyes had begun to grow so dim that he could not see,

And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place( now his eyes had begun to wax dim, so that he could not see),

One day Eli, whose eyesight was failing, was lying in his room.

And it came to pass at that time, when Eli[ was] laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim,[ that] he could not see;

Eli’s eyes had begun to fail, so that he was unable to see well. At that time he was lying down in his place,

At that time, when Eli was laid down in his place( now his eyes had begun to grow dim, so that he could not see),

who was ninety- eight years old and whose eyes had failed so that he could not see.

When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he could no longer see, he called for Esau his older son and said to him,“ My son.”“ Here I am,” he answered.

Now Israel’s eyes were failing because of old age, and he could hardly see. So Joseph brought his sons close to him, and his father kissed them and embraced them.

when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men stoop, when the grinders cease because they are few, and those looking through the windows grow dim;

Now Eli, who was very old, heard about everything his sons were doing to all Israel and how they slept with the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

But his father refused and said,“ I know, my son, I know. He too will become a people, and he too will become great. Nevertheless, his younger brother will be greater than he, and his descendants will become a group of nations.”

Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.
