< 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.
Ie henane zay, teo t’indaty e Ramataime-zofime, am-bohibohi’i Efraime ao atao Elkanà, ana’ Ierohame, ana’ i Elihò, ana’ i Tohò ana’ i Tsofe, nte-Efraime.
2 He had two wives. The name of one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
Roe ty vali’e, ty añara’ ty raike, Khanà, ty añara’ty raike, Peninà; nanañ’ anake t’i Peninà, fe mbetsiterake t’i Khanà.
3 This man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of Armies in Shiloh. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests to the LORD, were there.
Ie amy zay niavotse i rova’ey boa-taoñe indatiy nitalaho naho nisoroñe am’ Iehovà’ i Màroy e Silò añe. Mpisoroñe amy Iehovà henane zay t’i Kofený naho i Pinekase.
4 When the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and her daughters;
Ie tsatoke ty andro hanoen- tsoroñe le songa nanjotsoa’e t’i Peninà tañanjomba’e naho o ana-dahi’e naho anak’ ampela’e iabio;
5 but he gave a double portion to Hannah, for he loved Hannah, but the LORD had shut up her womb.
tinolo’e anjara mañeva t’i Khanà, fa i Khanà ty nikokoa’e, fe kinape’ Iehovà ty hovi’e.
6 Her rival provoked her severely, to irritate her, because the LORD had shut up her womb.
Le nanolo-tsotry aze nainai’e i rafe’ey, nembere’e amy te nampikitihe’ Iehovà i hovi’ey.
7 So year by year, when she went up to the LORD’s house, her rival provoked her. Therefore she wept, and did not eat.
Aa le nitolom-panao izay an-taoñ’an-taon-dre, ie nionjomb’ amy anjomba’ Iehovày mb’eo, le nampisoañe’e avao; ie nirovetse, tsy nete nikama.
8 Elkanah her husband said to her, “Hannah, why do you weep? Why do not you eat? Why is your heart grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”
Aa le hoe t’i Elkanà vali’e ama’e, O Khanà, ino o iroveta’oo? akore te tsy mihinañe? ino ty mampalorè ty tro’o? tsy lombolombo’ ty ana-dahy folo ama’o v’irahoo?
9 So Hannah rose up after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on his seat by the doorpost of the LORD’s temple.
Aa ie fa nikama naho ninoñe e Silò ao iereo le niongake t’i Khanà, —ie amy zao niambesatse amy fiambesa’e an-tokonan-dalambein’ anjomba’ Iehovày t’i Elý mpisoroñe;
10 She was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD, weeping bitterly.
le nitalaho amy Iehovà an-kafairan’ arofo i rakembay vaho nangololoike ty rovetse.
11 She vowed a vow, and said, “LORD of Armies, if you will indeed look at the affliction of your servant and remember me, and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a boy, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall come on his head.”
Le nifanta an-titike ty hoe: O ry Iehovà’ i Màroy, naho toe ho vazoho’o ty fisotrian’ anak’ ampata’o toy, naho hahatiahy ahy, naho tsy handikofa’o o fetrek’oro’oo naho ho tolora’o ana-dahy ty mpitoro’o ampela, le hatoloko am’Iehovà ho amo hene andro hiveloma’eo vaho tsy hozaem-piharatse ty añambone’e.
12 As she continued praying before the LORD, Eli saw her mouth.
Aa ie nitolon-kalaly añatrefa’ Iehovà, le nioni’ i Elý i falie’ey.
13 Now Hannah spoke in her heart. Only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk.
Nisaontsy añ’ arofo’e ao t’i Khanà, o fivimbi’eo avao ty nihetseke, le tsy nirey i fiarañanaña’ey; aa le natao’ i Elý t’ie nijike.
14 Eli said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Get rid of your wine!”
Le hoe t’i Elý tama’e, Ampara’ te ombia t’ihe ho màmo avao? adono añe o divai’oo.
15 Hannah answered, “No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have not been drinking wine or strong drink, but I poured out my soul before the LORD.
Nanoiñe aze ty Khanà, amy ty hoe: Aiy! ry talèko, ampela mioremèñe ‘no-ahoo; tsy mpinon-divay ndra tòake, fe nadoako añatrefa’ Iehovà ty troko.
16 Do not consider your servant a wicked woman; for I have been speaking out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation.”
Ko atao’o ho anam-Beliale ty anak’ ampata’o, fa ami’ty hamaro-toreoko naho amy fanaheloakoy ty nivolañeko.
17 Then Eli answered, “Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of him.”
Aa le nanoiñe aze t’i Elý ami’ty hoe, akia ampanintsiñañe, i Andrianañahare’ Israele ty hamale soa i nihalalia’oy.
18 She said, “Let your servant find favor in your sight.” So the woman went her way and ate; and her facial expression was not sad any more.
Aa le hoe re, Ehe te haharendre-pañisohañe am-pahaoniña’o o anak’ ampata’oo. Le niavotse i rakembay, nikama, vaho tsy nanahelo ka ty lahara’e.
19 They rose up in the morning early and worshiped the LORD, then returned and came to their house to Ramah. Then Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.
Nañampitso iereo te nitroatse naho nitalaho añatrefa’ Iehovà naho nimpoly mb’añ’anjomba’ iareo e Ramà añe; le nifañaoñe amy Khanà vali’e t’i Elkanà vaho nahatiahy aze t’Iehovà.
20 When the time had come, Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she named him Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked him of the LORD.”
Ie añe, tondroke te niareñe t’i Khanà, le nisamake ana-dahy vaho natao’e Samoele ty añara’e, Amy te nihalalieko amy Iehovà.
21 The man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice and his vow.
Nitolom-pionjo hañenga i sorom-boa-taoñey naho hañava-pànta am’ Iehovà t’i Elkaná roandriañe rekets’ o añ’anjomba’eo.
22 But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, “Not until the child is weaned; then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and stay there forever.”
Fe tsy nañavelo mb’eo t’i Kaná; hoe re amy vali’ey: Ie otàñe i ajajay, le hendeseko mb’eo, hiatrefa’e am’ Iehovà, vaho ao ty himoneña’e nainai’e.
23 Elkanah her husband said to her, “Do what seems good to you. Wait until you have weaned him; only may the LORD establish his word.” So the woman waited and nursed her son until she weaned him.
Aa le hoe t’i Elkanà, vali’e ama’e: Ano ze atao’o ho soa; Mahaliñisa ampara’ t’ie notàñe; hajado’ Iehovà abey i tsara’ey. Aa le nandrare tobok’ ao re nampinono i ana’ey, ampara’ te notae’e.
24 When she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls, and one ephah of meal, and a container of wine, and brought him to the LORD’s house in Shiloh. The child was young.
Aa ie notàñe i ajajay le nendese’e mindre ama’e nionjoñe mb’eo, reketse ty bania telo ay, naho mahakama efà raike, vaho ty zonjòn-divay, le nendese’e mb’ añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà e Silò ao, mbe nitora’e i ajajay.
25 They killed the bull, and brought the child to Eli.
Ie linenta i baniay le nendeseñe amy Elý mb’eo i ajajay.
26 She said, “Oh, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to the LORD.
Le hoe re: O talèkoo, kanao veloñ’ ain-drehe, ry talèko, izaho i ampela nijohañe marine azo etoa, nilolok’ amy Iehovày.
27 I prayed for this child, and the LORD has given me my petition which I asked of him.
Ty ajaja toy i nihalaliekoy; vaho natolo’ Iehovà amako i nihalaliakoy;
28 Therefore I have also given him to the LORD. As long as he lives he is given to the LORD.” He worshiped the LORD there.
aa le ingo fa hahereko am’ Iehovà, kanao velon-dre le a Iehovà. Aa le niambane añatrefa’ Iehovà re.
