< 1 Samuel 1 >

1 Now there was a man named Elkanah who was from Ramathaim-zophim in the hill country of Ephraim. He was the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
May isa ngang lalake na taga Ramathaim-sophim, sa lupaing maburol ng Ephraim, at ang pangalan niya'y Elcana, na anak ni Jeroham, na anak ni Eliu, na anak ni Thohu, na anak ni Suph na Ephraimita:
2 He had two wives, one named Hannah and the other Peninnah. And Peninnah had children, but Hannah had none.
At siya'y may dalawang asawa; ang pangalan ng isa'y Ana, at ang pangalan ng isa'y Peninna: at si Peninna ay may mga anak nguni't si Ana ay walang anak.
3 Year after year Elkanah would go up from his city to worship and sacrifice to the LORD of Hosts at Shiloh, where Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests to the LORD.
At ang lalaking ito ay umaahon sa taon-taon mula sa kaniyang bayan upang sumamba at maghain sa Panginoon ng mga hukbo sa Silo. At ang dalawang anak ni Eli, na si Ophni at si Phinees, na mga saserdote sa Panginoon, ay nangandoon.
4 And whenever the day came for Elkanah to present his sacrifice, he would give portions to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters.
At pagka dumarating ang araw na si Elcana ay naghahain, ay kaniyang binibigyan ng mga bahagi si Peninna na kaniyang asawa, at ang lahat ng kaniyang mga anak na lalake at babae:
5 But to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved her even though the LORD had closed her womb.
Nguni't si Ana ay binibigyan niya ng ibayong bahagi: sapagka't minamahal niya si Ana, bagaman sinarhan ng Panginoon ang kaniyang bahay-bata.
6 Because the LORD had closed Hannah’s womb, her rival would provoke her and taunt her viciously.
At minumungkahi siyang mainam ng kaniyang kaagaw upang yamutin siya, sapagka't sinarhan ng Panginoon ang kaniyang bahay-bata.
7 And this went on year after year. Whenever Hannah went up to the house of the LORD, her rival taunted her until she wept and would not eat.
At gayon ang ginagawa niya sa taon-taon, na pagka inaahon niya ang bahay ng Panginoon ay minumungkahi niyang gayon ang isa; kaya't siya'y umiiyak, at hindi kumakain.
8 “Hannah, why are you crying?” her husband Elkanah asked. “Why won’t you eat? Why is your heart so grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”
At sinabi ni Elcana na kaniyang asawa sa kaniya, Ana, bakit ka umiiyak? at bakit hindi ka kumakain? at bakit nagdadalamhati ang iyong puso? hindi ba ako mabuti sa iyo kay sa sangpung anak?
9 So after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh, Hannah stood up. Now Eli the priest was sitting on a chair by the doorpost of the temple of the LORD.
Sa gayo'y bumangon si Ana pagkatapos na makakain sila sa Silo at pagkatapos na sila'y makainom. Ngayo'y si Eli na saserdote ay nakaupo sa upuan niya sa siping ng haligi ng pintuan ng templo ng Panginoon.
10 In her bitter distress, Hannah prayed to the LORD and wept with many tears.
At siya'y nanalangin sa Panginoon ng buong paghihinagpis ng kaluluwa, at tumangis na mainam.
11 And she made a vow, pleading, “O LORD of Hosts, if only You will look upon the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, not forgetting Your maidservant but giving her a son, then I will dedicate him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall ever come over his head.”
At siya'y nanata ng isang panata, at nagsabi, Oh Panginoon ng mga hukbo, kung tunay na iyong lilingunin ang pagkapighati ng iyong lingkod, at aalalahanin mo at hindi mo kalilimutan ang iyong lingkod, kundi iyong pagkakalooban ang iyong lingkod ng anak na lalake, ay akin ngang ibibigay sa Panginoon sa lahat ng kaarawan ng kaniyang buhay, at walang pangahit na daraan sa kaniyang ulo.
12 As Hannah kept on praying before the LORD, Eli watched her mouth.
At nangyari, habang siya'y nananatili ng pananalangin sa harap ng Panginoon, ay pinagmamasdan ni Eli ang kaniyang bibig.
13 Hannah was praying in her heart, and though her lips were moving, her voice could not be heard. So Eli thought she was drunk
Si Ana nga'y nagsasalita sa kaniyang puso; ang kaniya lamang mga labi ang gumagalaw, nguni't ang kaniyang tinig ay hindi naririnig: kaya't inakala ni Eli na siya'y lasing.
14 and said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Put away your wine!”
At sinabi ni Eli sa kaniya, Hanggang kailan magiging lasing ka? ihiwalay mo ang iyong alak sa iyo.
15 “No, my lord,” Hannah replied. “I am a woman oppressed in spirit. I have not had any wine or strong drink, but I have poured out my soul before the LORD.
At sumagot si Ana, at nagsabi, Hindi, panginoon ko, ako'y isang babae na may diwang mapanglaw: hindi ako nakainom ng alak o inuming nakalalasing, kundi aking inihayag ang aking kaluluwa sa harap ng Panginoon.
16 Do not take your servant for a wicked woman; for all this time I have been praying out of the depth of my anguish and grief.”
Huwag mong ibilang na babaing hamak ang iyong lingkod: sapagka't sa kasaganaan ng aking daing at ng aking pagkaduwahagi ay nagsalita ako hanggang ngayon.
17 “Go in peace,” Eli replied, “and may the God of Israel grant the petition you have asked of Him.”
Nang magkagayo'y sumagot si Eli, at nagsabi, Yumaon kang payapa: at ipagkaloob nawa sa iyo ng Dios ng Israel ang iyong hiling na hinihingi mo sa kaniya.
18 “May your maidservant find favor with you,” said Hannah. Then she went on her way, and she began eating again, and her face was no longer downcast.
At sinabi niya, Makasumpong nawa ang iyong lingkod ng biyaya sa iyong paningin. Sa gayo'y nagpatuloy ng kaniyang lakad ang babae at kumain, at ang kaniyang mukha'y hindi na malumbay.
19 The next morning Elkanah and Hannah got up early to bow in worship before the LORD, and then returned home to Ramah. And Elkanah had relations with his wife Hannah, and the LORD remembered her.
At sila'y bumangong maaga ng kinaumagahan, at sumamba sa Panginoon, at bumalik, at umuwi sa kanilang bahay sa Ramatha; at nakilala ni Elcana si Ana na kaniyang asawa; at inalaala siya ng Panginoon.
20 So in the course of time, Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked for him from the LORD.”
At nangyari, nang sumapit ang panahon, na si Ana ay naglihi, at nanganak ng isang lalake; at tinawag ang pangalan niya na Samuel, na sinasabi, Sapagka't aking hiningi siya sa Panginoon.
21 Then Elkanah and all his house went up to make the annual sacrifice to the LORD and to fulfill his vow,
At ang lalaking si Elcana, at ang buong sangbahayan niya, ay nagsiahon upang maghandog sa Panginoon ng hain sa taon-taon, at ganapin ang kaniyang panata.
22 but Hannah did not go. “After the boy is weaned,” she said to her husband, “I will take him to appear before the LORD and to stay there permanently.”
Nguni't si Ana ay hindi umahon; sapagka't sinabi niya sa kaniyang asawa, Hindi ako aahon hanggang sa ang bata'y mahiwalay sa suso; at kung magkagayo'y aking dadalhin siya, upang siya'y pakita sa harap ng Panginoon, at tumahan doon magpakailan man.
23 “Do what you think is best,” her husband Elkanah replied, “and stay here until you have weaned him. Only may the LORD confirm His word.” So Hannah stayed and nursed her son until she had weaned him.
At sinabi ni Elcana na kaniyang asawa sa kaniya, Gawin mo ang inaakala mong mabuti; maghintay ka hanggang sa maihiwalay mo siya sa suso; pagtibayin lamang ng Panginoon ang kaniyang salita. Sa gayo'y naghintay ang babae, at pinasuso ang kaniyang anak, hanggang sa naihiwalay niya sa suso.
24 Once she had weaned him, Hannah took the boy with her, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine. Though the boy was still young, she brought him to the house of the LORD at Shiloh.
At nang kaniyang maihiwalay na sa suso, ay kaniyang iniahon, na may dala siyang tatlong guyang lalake, at isang epang harina, at isang sisidlang balat ng alak, at dinala niya siya sa bahay ng Panginoon sa Silo: at ang anak ay sanggol.
25 And when they had slaughtered the bull, they brought the boy to Eli.
At kanilang pinatay ang guyang lalake, at dinala ang bata kay Eli.
26 “Please, my lord,” said Hannah, “as surely as you live, my lord, I am the woman who stood here beside you praying to the LORD.
At sinabi niya, Oh panginoon ko, alangalang sa buhay ng iyong kaluluwa, panginoon ko, ako ang babaing tumayo sa siping mo rito, na nanalangin sa Panginoon.
27 I prayed for this boy, and since the LORD has granted me what I asked of Him,
Dahil sa batang ito ako nanalangin; at ipinagkaloob sa akin ng Panginoon ang aking hiling na aking hiningi sa kaniya:
28 I now dedicate the boy to the LORD. For as long as he lives, he is dedicated to the LORD.” So they worshiped the LORD there.
Kaya't aking ipinagkakaloob naman sa Panginoon habang siya'y nabubuhay ay ipinagkakaloob ko siya sa Panginoon. At siya ay sumamba sa Panginoon doon.
