1 Samuel 1
1 Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim of the hill-country of Ephraim. And his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
Te gen yon nonm, moun branch fanmi Efrayim, ki te rele Elkana. Li te rete lavil Rama nan mòn peyi Efrayim. Se te pitit Jewokam, pitit pitit Eliyou, nan fanmi Tokou, nan branch fanmi Zouf la.
2 And he had two wives: the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah. And Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
Elkana te gen de madanm, yonn te rele Ana, lòt la te rele Penina. Penina te fè pitit pou li. Men, Ana pa t' gen pitit.
3 And this man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to Jehovah of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests to Jehovah, were there.
Chak lanne, Elkana soti lavil Rama, li moute lavil Silo pou l' al fè sèvis pou Seyè ki gen tout pou vwa a, pou l' touye bèt pou li. Se de pitit Eli yo, Ofni ak Fineas, ki te prèt Seyè a lavil Silo.
4 And when the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions,
Chak fwa Elkana te ofri bèt pou Seyè a, li te toujou pran yon pòsyon pou Penina, yon pòsyon pou chak pitit fi ak pitit gason li yo.
5 but to Hannah he gave a double portion, for he loved Hannah, but Jehovah had shut up her womb.
Men, li te bay Ana yon pòsyon doub, paske li te renmen l' anpil, atout Seyè a pa t' ba li pitit.
6 And her rival provoked her greatly, to make her fret, because Jehovah had shut up her womb.
Penina menm te toujou ap giyonnen Ana pou fè l' wont, paske Seyè a pa t' ba li pitit.
7 And as he did so year by year when she went up to the house of Jehovah, so she provoked her. Therefore she wept, and did not eat.
Sa kontinye konsa chak lanne pandan lontan. Chak fwa yo te moute ale nan tanp Seyè a, Penina gen pou anbete Ana jouk li fè l' fache. Lè konsa, Ana menm rete ap kriye, li pa vle manje anyen.
8 And Elkanah her husband said to her, Hannah, why do thou weep? And why do thou not eat? And why is thy heart grieved? Am not I better to thee than ten sons?
Elkana, mari li, di l' konsa: -Aa, machè! Poukisa w'ap plede kriye konsa? Poukisa ou pa manje? Poukisa ou kagou konsa? Ou genyen m', se tankou si ou te genyen depase dis pitit gason.
9 So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest was sitting upon his seat by the door-post of the temple of Jehovah.
Yon lè yo te lavil Silo, apre yo te fin manje, yo te fin bwè, Ana leve. Eli, prèt la, te chita sou chèz li bò pòtay Tanp Seyè a.
10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to Jehovah, and wept much.
Ana te gen anpil lapenn. Li t'ap lapriyè nan pye Seyè a, dlo t'ap koule nan je l'.
11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O Jehovah of hosts, if thou will indeed look on the affliction of thy handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thy handmaid, but will give to thy handmaid a man-child, then I will give him to Jehovah all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.
Li fè Seyè a yon pwomès, li di l' konsa: -Seyè, ou menm ki gen tout pouvwa a, tanpri voye je ou sou sèvant ou a non! Gade lapenn mwen! Si ou pa bliye m', si ou ban m' yon pitit gason, m'ap mete l' apa pou li viv pou ou ase. Li p'ap janm koupe cheve nan tèt li.
12 And it came to pass, as she continued praying before Jehovah, that Eli noticed her mouth.
Pandan tout tan Ana t'ap lapriyè konsa devan Seyè a, Eli t'ap gade bouch li.
13 Now Hannah, she spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk.
Men, Ana t'ap lapriyè nan kè l'. Se bouch li ase ki t'ap bat, konsa moun pa t' ka tande sa l'ap di a. Lè sa a, Eli te konprann se sou li te sou.
14 And Eli said to her, How long will thou be drunken? Put away thy wine from thee.
Li di l' konsa: -Kilè w'a sispann bwè jouk pou ou sou konsa? Soti al desoule ou yon lòt kote!
15 And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I poured out my soul before Jehovah.
Ana reponn li: -Se pa sou mwen sou non, mèt! Mwen pa goute ni diven ni ankenn lòt bweson. Se nan gwo lapenn mwen ye. Se louvri m'ap louvri kè m' bay Seyè a. Se rakonte m'ap rakonte Seyè a lapenn mwen.
16 Count not thy handmaid for an iniquitous woman, for out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation have I spoken until now.
Tanpri, mèt! Pa pran m' pou yon fanm lib! Kifè m'ap pale konsa, se paske mwen nan gwo tèt chaje. Chagren ap touye m'.
17 Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant thy petition that thou have asked of him.
Lè sa a, Eli reponn li: -Ale ak kè poze. Mwen mande Bondye pèp Izrayèl la pou l' ba ou sa ou mande l' la.
18 And she said, Let thy handmaid find favor in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and ate, and her countenance was no more sad.
Ana reponn li: -M' espere ou p'ap janm bliye m'! Epi li leve, l' al fè wout li. Li manje. Depi lè sa a, li pa t' menm moun lan ankò.
19 And they rose up in the morning early, and worshiped before Jehovah, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and Jehovah remembered her.
Nan denmen maten, Elkana leve byen bonè ak tout fanmi li, yo adore Seyè a. Apre sa, yo tounen lakay yo lavil Rama. Elkama kouche ak Ana, madanm li. Epi, Seyè a fè pou Ana sa li te mande l' la.
20 And it came to pass, when the time came about, that Hannah conceived, and bore a son. And she called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of Jehovah.
Se konsa Ana vin ansent. Lè lè a rive pou l' akouche, li fè yon pitit gason. Li rele l' Samyèl, paske li te di: Mwen te mande Seyè a li.
21 And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to Jehovah the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.
Apre sa, Elkana moute lavil Silo ansanm ak tout fanmi li yo pou yo te ka fè ofrann yo gen pou yo fè chak lanne bay Seyè a, ansanm ak ofrann espesyal yo te fè ve bay Seyè a.
22 But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, Not until the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before Jehovah, and abide there forever.
Men Ana pa t' ale. Li di mari l' konsa: -Fini m'a fin sevre pitit la, m'a mennen l' nan Tanp Seyè a kote li pral rete pou tout tan.
23 And Elkanah her husband said to her, Do what seems good to thee. Remain until thou have weaned him, only Jehovah establish his word. So the woman remained and gave her son suck, until she weaned him.
Elkana, mari li, di l': -Fè sa ou wè ki pi bon an. Rete non jouk w'a fin sevre l'. Tansèlman, se pou Seyè a fè sa li te di a rive vre. Se konsa Ana rete pou l' pran swen ti bebe a jouk li sevre l'.
24 And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of meal, and a bottle of wine, and brought him to the house of Jehovah in Shiloh, and the child was young.
Apre li fin sevre pitit la, li mennen l' lavil Silo. Li te pran avè l' yon ti towo bèf twazan, yon barik farin, yon sak an po bèt plen diven. Li mennen ti gason an nan tanp Seyè a, lavil Silo, atout li te tou piti toujou.
25 And they killed the bullock, and brought the child to Eli.
Yo touye ti towo a, epi yo mennen ti gason an bay Eli.
26 And she said, Oh, my lord, as thy soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by thee here, praying to Jehovah.
Ana di l': -Eskize m' wi, mèt. Ou pa chonje ki moun mwen ye? Menm jan ou vivan an, se mwen menm fanm ou te wè ki te kanpe bò kote ou la yon jou ap lapriyè Seyè a.
27 I prayed for this child, and Jehovah has given me my petition which I asked of him.
Mwen te mande l' pou l' te ban mwen pitit gason sa a. Li ban mwen sa m' te mande l' la.
28 Therefore also I have granted him to Jehovah; as long as he lives he is granted to Jehovah. And he worshiped Jehovah there.
Se konsa m' vin mete l' apa pou l' ka viv pou Seyè a ase jouk li mouri. Apre sa, yo adore Seyè a la nan tanp lan.
