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.
And there was a certain man of Rama-thayim-zophim, of the mountain of Ephraim, whose name was Elkanah, the son of Yerocham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tochu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite.
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 the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: Peninnah had 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.
And this man went up out of his city from year to year to prostrate himself and to sacrifice unto the Lord of hosts in Shiloh. And at that place were the two sons of 'Eli, Chophni and Phinehas, 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.
And when the day was come that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her 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 unto Hannah he gave a double portion; for Hannah he loved [greatly]; but 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.
And her rival also provoked her continually, in order to make her fret; because 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 he did so year by year, as often as she went up to the house of the Lord, so did she provoke her; wherefore she 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 said to her Elkanah her husband, Hannah, why wilt thou weep? and why wilt thou not eat? and why should thy heart be grieved? am not I better to thee 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.
And Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk; and 'Eli the priest was sitting upon a chair by the door-post of the temple of the Lord.
But she had bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the Lord, and wept greatly.
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 vowed a vow, and said, O Lord of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thy handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thy handmaid, but wilt give unto thy handmaid a man-child: then will I give him unto 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 continued praying long before the Lord, that 'Eli watched 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 as for Hannah, she spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice could not be heard; wherefore 'Eli regarded her as a drunken woman.
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 unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from off thee.
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 answered and said, No, my Lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit; but neither wine nor strong drink have I drunk, and 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.”
Esteem not thy handmaid as a worthless woman; for out of the abundance of my grief and vexation have I spoken hitherto.
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 answered and said, Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant 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, Let thy handmaid find grace in thy eyes. The woman then went on her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no longer as before.
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 up early in the morning, and prostrated themselves before the Lord, and returned, and came to their house at Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hannah 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, after the lapse of some time, that Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she called his name Samuel, saying, Because from the Lord have I asked 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 went up, with all his house, to offer unto the Lord the yearly 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 Hannah did not go up; for she said unto her husband, So soon as the child shall be weaned, then I will bring him, that he may appear before the Lord, and abide there 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 Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth good in thy eyes; tarry until thou hast weaned him; only may the Lord fulfill his word. So the woman remained behind, and gave her son suck until 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 she took him up with her, when she had weaned him, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and she brought him unto the house of the Lord at Shiloh; although the child was yet young.
25 Ili da bulamagau fane ligisilalu, mano amo oule Ilaima asi.
And they slew a bullock, and brought 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, Pardon, my Lord, as thy soul liveth, my Lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, to pray unto 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 lad 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 also have I lent him, for my part, to the Lord; all the days that have been assigned to him shall he be lent to the Lord. And he bowed himself there before the Lord.
