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,

那时，以利在自己的地方睡觉；他眼目开始昏花，不能看见。

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。

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

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;

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),

Now Eli was ninety-eight years old and his eyes looked straight ahead; he was unable to see.

When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he was almost blind, he called his older son Esau and said to him,“ My son!”“ Here I am!” Esau replied.

Now Israel’s eyes were failing because of his age; he was not able to see well. So Joseph brought his sons near to him, and his father kissed them and embraced them.

when those who keep watch over the house begin to tremble, and the virile men begin to stoop over, and the grinders begin to cease because they grow few, and those who look through the windows grow dim,

Now Eli was very old when he heard about everything that his sons used to do to all the people of Israel and how they used to have sex with the women who were stationed 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 nation and he too will become great. In spite of this, his younger brother will be even greater and his descendants will become a multitude of nations.”

The days of our lives add up to seventy years, or eighty, if one is especially strong. But even one’s best years are marred by trouble and oppression. Yes, they pass quickly and we fly away.
