1 Sa:miuele 1
1 Goumi soge amoga Ifala: ime fifi lai dunu ilia da La: ima moilaiga fi dialu. Amogai dunu afae Elega: ina esalu. E da Yilouha: me ea mano, amola ea aowa da Ilaihu galu. Ea sosogo fi da Douhu fi amoga galu, be fidafa da Safe.
Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim, a Zuphite of the hill-country of Ephraim, named Elkanah; he was the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite:
2 Elega: ina da uda aduna lai galu. Elea dio da Ha: na amola Binina. Binina da mano gilisi galu, be Ha: na da aligime esalu.
And he had two wives, one named Hannah and the other Peninnah: and Peninnah was the mother of children, but Hannah had no children.
3 Elega: ina da ode huluane Siailou moilaiga Hina Gode Bagadedafa Ema nodone sia: ne gadomusa: , amola gobele sala ahoasu. Amogawi, Ilai ea mano aduna amo Hofenai amola Finia: se da Hina Gode Ea gobele salasu ouligisu dunu esalu.
Now this man went up from his town every year to give worship and to make offerings to the Lord of armies in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the Lord, were there.
4 Elega: ina da ea gobele salasu liligi ianoba, e da heda: sini na: iyadodi afae Bininama iasu, amola eno afae Binina ea manogili sagosu.
And when the day came for Elkanah to make his offering, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and daughters, their part of the feast:
5 Elega: ina da Ha: na ema bagade asigisu, be amomane ema heda: sini afae afae fawane ianusu. Bai Hina Gode da Ha: na ema mano hame i.
But to Hannah he gave one part, though Hannah was very dear to him, but the Lord had not let her have children.
6 Binina da Ha: na ema hame asigisu. E da Ha: na ema da: da: losu. Bai Hina Gode da Ha: na aligime hamonesi, e da Ha: nama da: da: losu.
And the other wife did everything possible to make her unhappy, because the Lord had not let her have children;
7 Amanemusu hamonana ode bagohame gidigisa asi. Ilia da Hina Gode Ea diasuga ahoanoba, Binina da Ha: na da: i dioma: ne gadesu amola da: da: losu hamobeba: le, Ha: na bagadewane da: i dione amola disu amola ha: i manu gobei amoga hamedafa nasu.
And year by year, whenever she went up to the house of the Lord, she kept on attacking her, so that Hannah gave herself up to weeping and would take no food.
8 Be egoa Elega: ina da Ha: nama agoane adole ba: su, “Ha: na! Abuliba: le di da dinana amola ha: i manu gobei hame nahala: ? Abuliba: le di da eso huluane da: i dioiwane ba: sala: ? Di da nama asigi hou da dunu mano nabuane gala ilima asigi hou da hame baligiyale dawa: bela: ?”
Then her husband Elkanah said to her, Hannah, why are you weeping? and why are you taking no food? why is your heart troubled? am I not more to you than ten sons?
9 Eso afaega, Hina Gode Ea diasu Siailou moilaiga amo ganodini ha: i nanu fisiagale, Ha: na da wa: legadole, e da bagade da: i dione amola Hina Godema sia: ne gadosa ha: gidafa dinanu. Amogalu, gobele salasu ouligisu dunu Ilai da logo holei gadenenewane hi fisu fafai da: iya esalu.
So after they had taken food and wine in the guest room, Hannah got up. Now Eli the priest was seated by the pillars of the doorway of the Temple of the Lord.
And with grief in her soul, weeping bitterly, she made her prayer to the Lord.
11 Ha: na da Hina Godema amane ilegele sia: i, “Hina Gode Bagadedafa! Nama ba: ma! Na da Dia hawa: hamosu uda! Na da: i dioi ba: ma, amola na mae gogolema! Dia nagili mano ima! Amasea, amo mano na da Dima bu mogili gagale imunu, amalu ea dialuma hinabo hamedafa damunisimu.”
And she made an oath, and said, O Lord of armies, if you will truly take note of the sorrow of your servant, not turning away from me but keeping me in mind, and will give me a man-child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and his hair will never be cut.
12 Ha: na da agoane Hina Godema sia: ne gadosa aligili bagadewane sia: ne gadolalusu. Amola Ilai da Ha: na ea lafi sosodolalu.
Now while she was a long time in prayer before the Lord, Eli was watching her mouth.
13 Ha: na da sadoga sia: ne gadosu. Ea lafi da fafudalu be sia: da hame nabi. Amaiba: le, Ilai da amo uda adini nanu, feloabeyale dawa: lu,
For Hannah's prayer came from her heart, and though her lips were moving she made no sound: so it seemed to Eli that she was overcome with wine.
14 amola Ha: nama amane sia: i, “Yolema! Adini nanu di dunu eno ilia ba: ma: ne mae hidama. Adini nanu yolesili, bu gahegima.”
And Eli said to her, How long are you going to be the worse for drink? Put away the effects of your wine from you.
15 Ha: na da bu adole i, “Esega! Na da we adini maiga hame feloasa. Na da hiawini, na da: i dioi huluane Hina Godema olelelala.
And Hannah, answering him, said, No, my lord, I am a woman whose spirit is broken with sorrow: I have not taken wine or strong drink, but I have been opening my heart before the Lord.
16 Na da hamedei udayale mae dawa: ma. Na agoane sia: ne gadoi. Bai na bagade da: i dioiba: le fawane, agoane sia: ne gadoi.”
Do not take your servant to be a good-for-nothing woman: for my words have come from my stored-up sorrow and pain.
17 Ilai da amane sia: i, “Hahawane masa! Amola Isala: ili Gode da dia hanai adole ba: i liligi dima imunu da defea.”
Then Eli said to her, Go in peace: and may the God of Israel give you an answer to the prayer you have made to him.
18 Ha: na da bu adole i, “Di da eso huluane nama asabole dawa: lumu da defea.” Amalalu, e da asili, ha: i nanu, ea da: i dioi fisi dagoi ba: i.
And she said, May your servant have grace in your eyes. So the woman went away, and took part in the feast, and her face was no longer sad.
19 Amalu, golale hahabedafa, Elega: ina amola ea sosogo huluane da wa: legadole, Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadolalu, ili La: ima moilaiga buhagi. Elega: ina da idua Ha: nala gilisili golai, amola Hina Gode da Ha: na ea sia: ne gadoi adole ba: i defele ema i.
And early in the morning they got up, and after worshipping before the Lord they went back to Ramah, to their house: and Elkanah had connection with his wife; and the Lord kept her in mind.
20 Amalu, Ha: na da abula agui esalu, dunu mano lalelegei. Ha: na da ea mano ea dio Sa: miuele asuli. Sa: miuele amo dawa: loma: ne da “Na da e lama: ne, Hina Godema adole ba: i.”
Now the time came when Hannah, being with child, gave birth to a son; and she gave him the name Samuel, Because, she said, I made a prayer to the Lord for him.
21 Elega: ina amola ea sosogo fi ilia da odegamusu Siailou moilaiga Godema gobele sala ahoasu, be amo eso da doaga: iba: le, e da liligi eno ida: iwane galamusu Godema gobele salimusa: ilegei.
And the man Elkanah with all his family went up to make the year's offering to the Lord, and to give effect to his oath.
22 Be amo asi amoga Ha: na da hame asi. E da egoama amane sia: i, “Na mano da dodo nanu yolesea, na da Hina Gode Ea diasuga asula masunu. Amogai e da eso huluane esaloma: ne.”
But Hannah did not go, for she said to her husband, I will not go till the child has been taken from the breast, and then I will take him with me and put him before the Lord, where he may be for ever.
23 Amalalu, Elega: ina da bu adole i, “Defea! Dia hanai habo da defea galea amo hamoma. Diasua esala, dodo nanusu yolesea fawane Gode Ea diasuga masa. Amola Hina Gode da dia ilegele mogili gagai sia: i amo dafawane hamomu da defea.” Amaiba: le, Ha: na da diasua esalu, mano ouligilalu.
And her husband Elkanah said to her, Do whatever seems right to you, but not till you have taken him from the breast; only may the Lord do as he has said. So the woman, waiting there, gave her son milk till he was old enough to be taken from the breast.
24 Ha: na da manoma dodo ianu yolei galu, e da Sa: miuele Siailou moilaiga oule asi. Amogai e da bulamagau gawali ode udiana gidigi adole amola agi10 gilogala: me agoane amola ohe gadofoga hamoi esaga waini hano dili sali amo gaguli asi.
Then when she had done so, she took him with her, with a three-year old ox and an ephah of meal and a skin full of wine, and took him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh: now the child was still very young.
25 Ili da bulamagau fane ligisilalu, mano amo oule Ilaima asi.
And when they had made an offering of the ox, they took the child to Eli.
26 Ha: na da Ilaima amane sia: i, “Ae esega! Dia da na dawa: bela: ? Na da uda musa: dia ba: i gui Hina Godema sia: ne gadosa lelebe ba: i.
And she said, O my lord, as your soul is living, my lord, I am that woman who was making a prayer to the Lord here by your side:
27 Na da goe mano nama ima: ne Hina Godema adole ba: lalu, amaiba: le E da nagili mano i amo wea.
My prayer was for this child; and the Lord has given him to me in answer to my request:
28 Amaiba: le, na da amo mano Hina Godema ia misi. Amalu ea fifi ahoanusu huluane da Hina Gode Hifawane da ouligilalumu,” Ha: na da amane sia: i. Amalu, ilia da goega gilisili Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadoi.
So I have given him to the Lord; for all his life he is the Lord's. Then he gave the Lord worship there.
