< 1 Samuel 2 >
1 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart exults in Jehovah. My horn is exalted in Jehovah. My mouth is enlarged over my enemies because I rejoice in thy salvation.
Na ka karakia a Hana, ka mea, E whakamanamana ana toku ngakau ki a Ihowa, kua ara toku haona i a Ihowa; ka rahi toku waha ki oku hoariri; noku ka koa ki tau whakaoranga.
2 There is none holy as Jehovah, for there is none besides thee, neither is there any rock like our God.
Kahore he mea tapu, ko Ihowa anake; kahore ke atu, ko koe anake: kahore ano hoki he kamaka hei rite mo to tatou Atua.
3 Talk no more so very proudly. Let not arrogancy come out of your mouth, for Jehovah is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
Kati te whakanui i te korero whakahihi; kei puta te whakapehapeha i o koutou mangai: he Atua mohio hoki a Ihowa, a ka paunatia e ia nga mahi.
4 The bows of the mighty men are broken, and those who stumbled are girded with strength.
Whati ana nga kopere a te hunga marohirohi; a ko te hunga i tutuki te waewae, ko te kaha hei whitiki mo ratou.
5 Those who were full have hired out themselves for bread, and those who were hungry have ceased to hunger. Yea, the barren has borne seven, and she who has many sons languishes.
E mahi ana hei utu taro te hunga i makona i mua; a mutu ake ta te hunga i matekai: heoi kua tokowhitu a te pakoko i whanau ai; a iwikore noa iho te mea kua tokomaha nei ana tamariki.
6 Jehovah kills, and makes alive. He brings down to Sheol, and brings up. (Sheol )
Ko Ihowa e whakamate ana, a ko ia e whakaora ana: mana e riro ai ki raro ki te reinga, mana e kake ai ki runga. (Sheol )
7 Jehovah makes poor, and makes rich. He brings low, he also lifts up.
Ko Ihowa hei whakarawakore, ko ia hei whakawhiwhi ki te taonga: mana e whakaiti, mana ano hoki e whakaara.
8 He raises up the poor out of the dust, he lifts up the needy from the dunghill, to make them sit with rulers, and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are Jehovah's, and he has set the world upon them.
Whakaarahia ana e ia te iti i roto i te puehu, ara ana i a ia te iti i roto i te puehu, ara ana i a ia te rawakore i roto i te puranga paru, a whakanohoia iho ki roto ki nga rangatira, meinga ana kia whiwhi ki te torona kororia: no Ihowa ra hoki nga pou turanga o te whenua; a whakanohoia iho e ia te ao ki runga.
9 He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness, for by strength no man shall prevail.
Mana nga waewae o tana hunga tapu e tiaki; ko te hunga kino ia ka whakanohoia ki roto ki te pouri wahangu ai; ehara hoki te kaha i te mea e riro ai te papa i te tangata.
10 Those who strive with Jehovah shall be broken to pieces. He will thunder against them in heaven. Jehovah will judge the ends of the earth, and he will give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
Mongamonga noa nga hoariri o Ihowa; ka papa mai tana whatitiri i te rangi ki a ratou: ka whakarite whakawa a Ihowa mo nga pito o te whenua; mana e homai he kaha ki tana kingi, e whakaara te haona o tana i whakawahi ai.
11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house, and the child ministered to Jehovah before Eli the priest.
Na ka haere a Erekana ki Rama, ki tona whare. A minita ana taua tamaiti ki a Ihowa i te aroaro o te tohunga, o Eri.
12 Now the sons of Eli were base men; they knew not Jehovah.
Na he tama na Periara nga tama a Eri; kihai ratou i mohio ki a Ihowa.
13 And the custom of the priests with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was boiling, with a flesh-hook of three teeth in his hand,
Na ko te tikanga tenei a nga tohunga i roto i te iwi; i te patunga a tetahi i te whakahere, ka haere te tangata a te tohunga, i te mea kei te kohua ano nga kiko, me te marau e toru nei nga koikoi i tona ringa;
14 and he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot. All that the flesh-hook brought up the priest took with it. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.
Na ka werohia e ia ki te peihana, ki te pata ranei, ki te hopane ranei, ki te kohua ranei; ko nga mea katoa i riro ake i te marau, i tangohia e te tohunga ki taua mea. Pena tonu ta ratou mahi i Hiro ki nga Iharaira katoa i haere ki reira.
15 And before they burned the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man who sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest, for he will not have boiled flesh from thee, but raw.
Ae ra, i te mea ano hoki kahore i tahuna noatia nga ngako, ka haere te tangata a te tohunga, ka mea ki te tangata nana te whakahere, Homai tetahi wahi kiko kia tunua ma te tohunga; e kore hoki ia e tango i au kiko, i te mea kohua, engari i te me a mata.
16 And if the man said to him, They will surely burn the fat first, and then take as much as thy soul desires, then he would say, No, but thou shall give it to me now, and if not, I will take it by force.
A, ki te ki mai te tangata ki a ia, Aianei pu tahuna ai e ratou te ngako, a hei reira koe tango ai i ta tou ngakau i pai ai; katahi tera ka mea atu, Kahore; engari me homai e koe aianei; a, ki te kahore, ka tangohia maoritia e ahau.
17 And the sin of the young men was very great before Jehovah, for the men despised the offering of Jehovah.
Na nui atu te hara o aua taitama i te aroaro o Ihowa: no te mea i whakarihariha nga tangata ki te whakahere a Ihowa.
18 But Samuel ministered before Jehovah, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.
Ko Hamuera ia i minita ki te aroaro o Ihowa, he tamariki nei ia, whitiki rawa tona epora rinena.
19 Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him from year to year when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
I hanga ano he koroka iti e tona whaea mona, a kawea ana ki a ia i tenei tau, i tenei tau, i o raua haerenga ko tana tahu ki te patu i te whakahere o te tau.
20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, Jehovah give thee seed by this woman for the petition which was asked of Jehovah. And they went to their own home.
Na ka whakapai a Eri i a Erekana raua ko tana wahine, ka mea, Ma Ihowa e homai he uri ki a koe i roto i tenei wahine mo tenei ka tukua nei ki a Ihowa. Na hoki ana raua ki to raua wahi.
21 And Jehovah visited Hannah, and she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before Jehovah.
Na ka titiro a Ihowa ki a Hana, a ka hapu ano ia, ka whanau, tokotoru nga tama, tokorua nga kotiro. A tupu ana te tamaiti, a Hamuera, i te aroaro o Ihowa.
22 Now Eli was very old. And he heard all that his sons did to all Israel, and how that they lay with the women who assembled at the door of the tent of meeting.
Na kua koroheke rawa a Eri; kua rongo hoki ki nga mea katoa i mea ai ana tama ki a Iharaira katoa, ki to raua takotaoranga hoki ki nga wahine i mahi ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga.
23 And he said to them, Why do ye such things? For I hear of your evil dealings from all this people.
Na ka mea ia ki a raua, He aha korua i mahi ai i enei mea? kua rongo hoki ahau ki tenei iwi katoa ki a korua mahi kino.
24 No, my sons, for it is no good report that I hear. Ye make Jehovah's people to transgress.
Kati ra, e aku tama; ehara hoki i te pai te korero e rangona nei e ahau: e mea ana korua i te iwi o Ihowa kia peka ke.
25 If one man sins against another, God shall judge him, but if a man sins against Jehovah, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding, they did not hearken to the voice of their father, because Jehovah intended to kill them.
Ki te hara he tangata ki tona hoa, ma te Atua te whakawa mona: tena ko tenei ka hara te tangata ki a Ihowa, ko wai hei kaiwawao mona? Heoi kihai raua i pai ki te whakarongo ki te reo o to raua papa, no te mea i pai a Ihowa kia whakamatea raua.
26 And the child Samuel grew on, and increased in favor both with Jehovah, and also with men.
A nui haere ana ano taua tamaiti, a Hamuera, e paingia ana e Ihowa, e nga tangata.
27 And there came a man of God to Eli, and said to him, Thus says Jehovah, Did I reveal myself to the house of thy father when they were in Egypt in bondage to Pharaoh's house?
Na ka haere mai tetahi tangata a te Atua ki a Eri, ka mea ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kahore ianei ahau i puta marama ki te whare o tou papa, i a ratou i Ihipa, i pononga ai i te whare o Parao?
28 And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? And did I give to the house of thy father all the offerings of the sons of Israel made by fire?
Kahore ranei ahau i whiriwhiri i a ia i roto i nga iwi katoa o Iharaira hei tohunga moku, hei whakaeke whakahere ki runga ki taku aata, hei tahu whakakakara, hei kakahu i te epora ki toku aroaro? a hoatu ana ki te whare o tou papa nga whakahere ahi katoa a nga tamariki a Iharaira?
29 Why do ye kick at my sacrifice and at my offering, which I have commanded in my habitation, and honor thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chief of all the offerings of Israel my people?
A he aha koutou i takahi ai i oku patunga tapu, i oku whakahere, i kiia e ahau mo toku nohoanga; i a koe ka whakahonore nei i au tama ki runga ake i ahau, a ka tetere nei koutou i nga mea papai o nga whakahere katoa a Iharaira, a taku iwi?
30 Therefore Jehovah, the God of Israel, says, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me forever, but now Jehovah says, Be it far from me, for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
Na reira tenei kupu a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, He tika i mea ahau, ko tou whare me te whare o tou matua ka haere i toku aroaro a ake ake: na ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei inaianei, Kahore ra hoki; ka whakahonore hoki ahau i te hunga e whakahonore a na i ahau, ka whakaiti ano i te hunga e whakahawea ana ki ahau.
31 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thy house.
Nana, meake puta nga ra e tapahia ai e ahau tou ringa, me te ringa o te whare o tou papa, a kore iho tetahi koroheke i roto i tou whare.
32 And thou shall see an enemy in my habitation, in all that I shall give Israel, and there shall not be an old man in thy house forever.
A ka kite koe i te tukinotanga i toku nohoanga, i nga pai katoa e hoatu e te Atua ki a Iharaira; e kore ano tou whare e whai koroheke a ake ake.
33 And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from my altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thy heart. And all the increase of thy house shall die in the flower of their age.
Na, ko te tangata au e kore e hautopea atu i taku aata, ka ai ia hei whakapaunga mo ou kanohi, hei whakamamae mo tou ngakau: whakakaumatua kau hoki nga whanau hou o tou whare, ka mate i to ratou taiohinga.
34 And this shall be the sign to thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: In one day they shall die, both of them.
Ko te tohu hoki tenei ki a koe, ka puta ki au tama tokorua, ki a Hoponi raua ko Pinehaha, kotahi ano te ra e mate ai raua tokorua.
35 And I will raise up for me a faithful priest who shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind. And I will build for him a sure house, and he shall walk before my anointed forever.
A ka whakaarahia ake e ahau he tohunga pono maku, hei mahi i ta toku ngakau, i ta toku hinengaro i pai ai, maku ano e hanga he whare pumau mona; a ka haereere ia i nga ra katoa i te aroaro o taku e whakawahi ai.
36 And it shall come to pass, that everyone who is left in thy house shall come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices that I may eat a morsel of bread.
A, ko te hunga katoa e mahue iho ki tou whare, ka haere mai, ka piko iho ki a ia mo tetahi pihi hiriwa, mo tetahi wahi taro, ka mea, Tena koe, kia uru atu ahau ki tetahi o nga mahi tohunga, kia kai ai ahau i tetahi kongakonga taro.
