1 Samuel 2
1 And Hannah, in prayer before the Lord, said, My heart is glad in the Lord, my horn is lifted up in the Lord: my mouth is open wide over my haters; because my joy is in your salvation.
Ary Hana nivavaka ka nanao hoe: Ny foko ravoravo amin’ i Jehovah, Ny tandroko voasandratra amin’ i Jehovah; ny vavako misokatra hamaly ny fahavaloko; fa mifaly amin’ ny famonjenao aho.
2 No other is holy as the Lord, for there is no other God but you: there is no Rock like our God.
Tsy misy masìna tahaka an’ i Jehovah, fa tsy misy afa-tsy Hianao; ary tsy misy vatolampy tahaka an’ Andriamanitsika.
3 Say no more words of pride; let not uncontrolled sayings come out of your mouths: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, by him acts are judged.
Aza dia mahery miteny avonavona; ary aoka tsy haloaky ny vavanareo ny fireharehana. Fa Jehovah no Andriamanitry ny fahalalana, ary Izy no mandanja ny asa.
4 The bows of the men of war are broken, and the feeble are clothed with strength.
Tapaka ny tsipìkan’ ny olo-mahery, ary izay mila ho reraka dia sikinana hery.
5 Those who were full are offering themselves as servants for bread; those who were in need are at rest; truly, she who had no children has become the mother of seven; and she who had a family is wasted with sorrow.
Mikarama mofo ny voky, ary mianina kosa ny noana; ny momba miteraka fito, ary mihamalemy kosa ny maro anaka.
6 The Lord is the giver of death and life: sending men down to the underworld and lifting them up. (Sheol h7585)
Jehovah no mahafaty sy mahavelona; izy no mampidina ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita ary mampitsangana. (Sheol h7585)
7 The Lord gives wealth and takes a man's goods from him: crushing men down and again lifting them up;
Jehovah no mampalahelo sy mampanan-karena; izy no mampietry sy mampisandratra.
8 Lifting the poor out of the dust, and him who is in need out of the lowest place, to give them their place among rulers, and for their heritage the seat of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's and he has made them the base of the world.
Izy no manangana ny malahelo ho afaka amin’ ny vovoka, ary manandratra ny mahantra hiala eo amin’ ny zezika, mba hampiara-mitoetra azy eo amin’ ny mpanapaka ka hampandova azy ny sezam-boninahitra; fa an’ i Jehovah ny andrin’ ny tany, ary izany no ametrahany izao tontolo izao.
9 He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the evil-doers will come to their end in the dark night, for by strength no man will overcome.
Ny tongotry ny olo-masiny dia tandremany, fa ny ratsy fanahy kosa hampangininy any amin’ ny maizina; fa tsy amin’ ny hery no handresen’ ny olona.
10 Those who make war against the Lord will be broken; against them he will send his thunder from heaven: the Lord will be judge of the ends of the earth, he will give strength to his king, lifting up the horn of him on whom the holy oil has been put.
Ho torotoro izay miady amin’ i Jehovah; any an-danitra Izy no hampikotrokorana hamely azy. Jehovah hitsara ny vazan-tany, ary Izy hanome hery ny mpanjakany sy hanandratra ny tandroky ny voahosony.
11 Then Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child became the servant of the Lord under the direction of Eli the priest.
Ary Elkana nankany an-tranony tany Rama; fa ny zaza kosa nanao fanompoam-pivavahana tamin’ i Jehovah teo anatrehan’ i Ely mpisorona.
12 Now the sons of Eli were evil and good-for-nothing men, having no knowledge of the Lord.
Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Ely dia tena ratsy fanahy, tsy nahalala an’ i Jehovah.
13 And the priests' way with the people was this: when any man made an offering, the priest's servant came while the flesh was being cooked, having in his hand a meat-hook with three teeth;
Ary izao no fanaon’ ny mpisorona tamin’ ny olona: Raha nisy olona namono zavatra hatao fanatitra, dia avy ny zatovon’ ny mpisorona nitondra fitrebika telo rantsana teny an-tànany, raha mbola nahandroina ny hena,
14 This he put into the pot, and everything which came up on the hook the priest took for himself. This they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.
dia natsindrony tao anatin’ ny fanendasana ny fitrebika, na tao anatin’ ny fahandroan-kena, na ny vilany, na ny vilanibe, ka izay rehetra azon’ ny fitrebika tao dia nalain’ ny mpisorona ho azy. Ary izany no fanaony tao Silo tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra izay tonga tao.
15 And more than this, before the fat was burned, the priest's servant would come and say to the man who was making the offering, Give me some of the flesh to be cooked for the priest; he has no taste for meat cooked in water, but would have you give it uncooked.
Ary raha tsy mbola nodorany ho fofona ny sabora, dia avy ny zatovon’ ny mpisorona ka nanao tamin’ izay lehilahy namono zavatra hatao fanatitra hoe: Omeo hena hatsatsika ho an’ ny mpisorona; fa tsy haka hena masaka aminao izy, fa ny manta ihany.
16 And if the man said to him, First let the fat be burned, then take as much as you will; then the servant would say, No, you are to give it to me now, or I will take it by force.
Ary raha nisy olona nanao taminy hoe: Hodorana aloha ny sabora, dia amin’ izay vao halainao izay sitraky ny fonao, dia novaliany hoe: Tsia; fa omeo ankehitriny izao ihany; fa raha tsy izany, dia halaiko an-keriny.
17 And the sin of these young men was very great before the Lord; for they gave no honour to the Lord's offerings.
Ka dia lehibe indrindra ny helok’ ireo zatovo ireo teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, satria halan’ ny olona ny fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah.
18 But Samuel did the work of the Lord's house, while he was a child, dressed in a linen ephod.
Fa Samoela nanao fanompoam-pivavahana teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah raha mbola zaza, ary nisalotra efoda rongony fotsy izy.
19 And his mother made him a little robe and took it to him every year when she came with her husband for the year's offering.
Ary nanaovan-dreniny akanjo kely izy, ka nentiny ho azy isan-taona isan-taona izany, raha niara-ran’ ny mpisorona avy amin’ ny olona. Koa raha niakatra tamin’ ny vadiny hanatitra ny fanatitra fanao isan-taona izy.
20 And every year Eli gave Elkanah and his wife a blessing, saying, May the Lord give you offspring by this woman in exchange for the child you have given to the Lord. And they went back to their house.
Ary Ely nitso-drano an’ i Elkana mivady ka nanao hoe: Homen’ i Jehovah zaza amin’ ity vehivavy ity anie ianao ho solon’ ilay voatolotra ho an’ i Jehovah. Dia lasa nody izy mivady.
21 And the Lord had mercy on Hannah and she gave birth to three sons and two daughters. And the young Samuel became older before the Lord.
Ary Jehovah namangy an’ i Hana, ka dia nanan’ anaka koa izy ary niteraka lahy telo sy vavy roa. Ary Samoela zaza nitombo teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
22 Now Eli was very old; and he had news from time to time of what his sons were doing to all Israel.
Ary efa antitra indrindra Ely, ary izy nandre izay rehetra nataon’ ny zananilahy tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra sy ny nandriany tamin’ ireo vehivavy izay nanompo teo amin’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay fihaonana.
23 And he said to them, Why are you doing such things? for from all this people I get accounts of your evil ways.
Dia hoy izy taminy: Nahoana ianareo no manao izany zavatra izany? fa reko amin’ izao olona rehetra izao ny ratsy ataonareo.
24 No, my sons, the account which is given me, which the Lord's people are sending about, is not good.
Tsia anaka, fa tsy tsara ny teny reko; fa mampanota ny olon’ i Jehovah ianareo.
25 If one man does wrong to another, God will be his judge: but if a man's sin is against the Lord, who will take up his cause? But they gave no attention to the voice of their father, for it was the Lord's purpose to send destruction on them.
Raha misy olona manota amin’ olona, dia ny mpitsara no hitsara azy; fa raha misy manota amin’ i Jehovah kosa, iza no hifona ho azy? Nefa tsy nihaino ny tenin-drainy izy ireo, satria sitrak’ i Jehovah ny hahafaty azy.
26 And the young Samuel, becoming older, had the approval of the Lord and of men.
Ary Samoela zaza nitombo, sady tian’ i Jehovah sy ny olona koa izy.
27 And a man of God came to Eli and said to him, The Lord says, Did I let myself be seen by your father's people when they were in Egypt, servants in Pharaoh's house?
Ary nisy lehilahin’ Andriamanitra nankany amin’ i Ely ka nanao taminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Tsy efa niseho tokoa tamin’ ny ankohonan-drainao va Aho, raha mbola tany Egypta tao an-tranon’ i Farao izy?
28 Did I take him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest and to go up to my altar to make the smoke of the offerings go up and to take up the ephod? Did I give to your father's family all the offerings made by fire by the children of Israel?
Eny, nofidiko tamin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely rehetra ho mpisoroko izy mba hanatitra fanatitra eo ambonin’ ny alitarako sy handoro ditin-kazo manitra ary hisalotra efoda eo anatrehako, ary nomeko ho an’ ny tarana-drainao ny fanatitra rehetra ataon’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely amin’ ny afo.
29 Why then are you looking with envy on my offerings of meat and of meal which were ordered by my word, honouring your sons before me, and making yourselves fat with all the best of the offerings of Israel, my people?
Nahoana no hitsahinareo ny fanatitra alatsa-drà sy ny fanatitra hohanina izay aterina ho Ahy, dia ilay nasaiko hatao ao amin’ ny fonenako, ka ny zanakao no omenao voninahitra mihoatra noho Izaho, mba hanatavy anareo amin’ izay tsara indrindra amin’ ny fanatitra rehetra aterin’ ny Isiraely oloko?
30 For this reason the Lord God of Israel has said, Truly I did say that your family and your father's people would have their place before me for ever: but now the Lord says, Let it not be so; I will give honour to those by whom I am honoured, and those who have no respect for me will be of small value in my eyes.
Koa izany no anaovan’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, hoe: Efa voalazako tokoa fa ny taranakao sy ny tarana-drainao no handeha eo anatrehako mandrakizay; fa ankehitriny kosa, hoy Jehovah, sanatria Ahy izany; fa izay manome voninahitra Ahy no homeko voninahitra, ary izay manamavo Ahy no ho afa-baraka.
31 See, the days are coming when your arm and the arm of your father's people will be cut off;
Indro, avy ny andro izay hanapahako ny sandrinao sy ny sandrin’ ny tarana-drainao, ka tsy hisy lehilahy ho tratrantitra amin’ ny taranakao.
32 And never again will there be an old man in your family.
Ary hahita ny manjo ny fonenako ianao na inona na inona soa omena ho an’ ny Isiraely, ka tsy hisy lehilahy ho tratrantitra amin’ ny taranakao mandrakizay.
33 But one man of your family will not be cut off by my hand, and his eyes will be made dark, and grief will be in his heart: and all the offspring of your family will come to their end by the sword of men.
Nefa tsy dia hofongorako avokoa tsy ho eo anilan’ ny alitarako izy, mba hahapahina ny masonao sy hampalahelo ny fonao; ary ny taranakao rehetra dia ho faty raha vao herotrerony.
34 And this will be the sign to you, which will come on Hophni and Phinehas, your sons; death will overtake them on the same day.
Ary izao no ho famantarana ho anao, izay hanjo ny zanakao roa lahy, dia Hofinia sy Finehasa: ho indray andro maty izy mirahalahy.
35 And I will make a true priest for myself, one who will do what is in my heart and in my mind: and I will make for him a family which will not come to an end; and his place will be before my holy one for ever.
Ary Izaho hanangana mpisorona mahatoky ho Ahy, izay hanao araka ny ato am-poko sy ato an-tsaiko; ary Izaho hampaharitra ny taranany, ka handeha eo anatrehan’ ny voahosotro mandrakizay izy.
36 Then it will be that the rest of your family, anyone who has not been cut off, will go down on his knees to him for a bit of silver or a bit of bread, and say, Be pleased to put me into one of the priest's places so that I may have a little food.
Ary ho avy izay sisa rehetra amin’ ny taranakao ka hiankohoka eo anatrehany hangataka vola kely sy mofo iray ka hanao hoe: Masìna ianao, mba tendreo ho isan’ ny mpisorona aho, mba hahazoako sombi-mofo hohanina.
