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.
There was a man of Ramathaimsophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elcana, the son of Jeroham, the son of Eliu, the son of Thohu, the son of Suph, 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, the name of one was Anna, and the name of the other Phenenna. Phenenna had children: but Anna 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.
And this man went up out of his city upon the appointed days, to adore and to offer sacrifice to the Lord of hosts in Silo. And the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were there priests of the Lord.
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.
Now the day came, and Elcana offered sacrifice, and gave to Phenenna his wife, and to all her sons and daughters, portions:
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 Anna he gave one portion with sorrow, because he loved Anna. And the Lord had shut up her womb.
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.
Her rival also afflicted her, and troubled her exceedingly, insomuch that she upbraided her, that the Lord had shut up her womb:
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 thus she did every year, when the time returned that they went up to the temple of the Lord: and thus she provoked her: but Anna wept, and did not eat.
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 Elcana her husband said to her: Anna, why weepest thou? and why dost thou not eat? And why dost thou afflict thy heart? Am not I better to thee than ten children?
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 Anna arose after she had eaten and drunk in Silo: And Heli the priest sitting upon a stool, before the door of the temple of the Lord:
As Anna had her heart full of grief, she prayed to the Lord, shedding many tears,
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 a vow, saying: O Lord, of hosts, if thou wilt look down on the affliction of thy servant, and wilt be mindful of me, and not forget thy handmaid, and wilt give to thy servant a man child: I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.
12 Ha: na da agoane Hina Godema sia: ne gadosa aligili bagadewane sia: ne gadolalusu. Amola Ilai da Ha: na ea lafi sosodolalu.
And it came to pass, as she multiplied prayers before the Lord, that Heli observed 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,
Now Anna spoke in her heart, and only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard at all. Heli therefore thought her to be drunk,
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 said to her: How long wilt thou, be drunk? digest a little the wine, of which thou hast taken too much.
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.
Anna answering, said: Not so, my lord: for I am an exceeding unhappy woman, and have drunk neither wine nor any strong drink, but I have poured out my soul 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.”
Count not thy handmaid for one of the daughters of Belial: for out of the abundance of my sorrow and grief have I spoken till now.
17 Ilai da amane sia: i, “Hahawane masa! Amola Isala: ili Gode da dia hanai adole ba: i liligi dima imunu da defea.”
Then Heli said to her: Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition, which thou hast asked of 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: Would to God thy handmaid may find grace in thy eyes. So the woman went on her way, and ate, and her countenance was no more changed.
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 they rose in the morning, and worshipped before the Lord: and they returned, and came into their house at Ramatha. And Elcana knew Anna his wife: and the Lord remembered her.
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.”
And it came to pass when the time was come about, Anna conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel: because she had asked him of the Lord.
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 Elcana her husband went up, and all his house, to offer to the Lord the solemn sacrifice, and his vow.
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 Anna went not up: for she said to her husband: I will not go till the child be weaned, and till I may carry him, that he may appear before the Lord, and may abide always there.
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 Elcana her husband said to her: Do what seemeth good to thee, and stay till thou wean him: and I pray that the Lord may fulfill his word. So the woman stayed at home, and gave her son suck, till she weaned him.
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.
And after she had weaned him, she carried him with her, with three calves, and three bushels of flour, and a bottle of wine, and she brought him to the house of the Lord in Silo. Now the child was as yet very young:
25 Ili da bulamagau fane ligisilalu, mano amo oule Ilaima asi.
And they immolated a calf, and offered the child to Heli.
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 Anna said: I beseech thee, my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord: I am that woman who stood before thee here praying to the Lord.
27 Na da goe mano nama ima: ne Hina Godema adole ba: lalu, amaiba: le E da nagili mano i amo wea.
For this child did I pray, and the Lord hath granted me my petition, which I asked of him.
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.
Therefore I also have lent him to the Lord all the days of his life, he shall be lent to the Lord. And they adored the Lord there. And Anna prayed, and said:
