Kings I 2
1 My heart is established in the Lord, my horn is exalted in my God; my mouth is enlarged over my enemies, I have rejoiced in thy salvation.
Nitalaho t’i Khanà, ami‘ty hoe: Mirebek’ am’ Iehovà ty troko, mionjoñe am’ Iehovà ty tsifako; misokak’ amo rafelahikoo ty vavako; le jejoeko ty fandrombahañe ahy.
2 For there is none holy as the Lord, and there is none righteous as our God; there is none holy besides thee.
Leo raike tsy masiñe manahak’ Iehovà toe tsy ie naho ts’ Ihe; vaho tsy eo ty lamilamy hambañe aman’ Añaharen-tika.
3 Boast not, and utter not high things; let not high-sounding words come out of your mouth, for the Lord [is] a God of knowledge, and God prepares his own designs.
Ko mivolam-pirengevohañe avao; ko metea’o hiakatse am-palie’o ty fitoeborañe; amy te Andrianañahare mahilala t’Iehovà; ama’e ty andanjàñe o satao.
4 The bow of the mighty has waxed feeble, and the weak have girded themselves with strength.
Nipozake ty fale’ o fanalolahio, le nampiombeañe haozarañe o nikoletrao.
5 They that were full of bread are brought low; and the hungry have forsaken the land; for the barren has born seven, and she that abounded in children has waxed feeble.
Nikarama hahazoa’e mofo o nivontsiñeo; anjañe ka o nilingoao; nisamake fito ty betsiterake, vaho ninìke i nimaro anakey.
Mamono t’Iehovà, mbore mameloñe; manjotso mb’an-tsikeokeok’ ao, vaho mañakatse boak’ao. (Sheol h7585)
7 The Lord makes poor, and makes rich; he brings low, and lifts up.
Maha poi’e t’Iehovà naho mampañaleale; mamotsake vaho mañonjoñe.
8 He lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises the needy from the dunghill; to seat him with the princes of the people, and causing them to inherit the throne of glory:
Atroa’e boak’ an-debok’ ao o poie’eo, naho ongaha’e boak’am-porompots’ ao ty rarake, hampiambesare’e amo roandriañeo, handova’e i fiambesan-engeñey; Iehovà ro faha-ty voatse toy, vaho najado’e ama’e ty tane toy.
9 granting his petition to him that prays; and he blesses the years of the righteous, for by strength cannot man prevail.
Hambena’e ty fandia’ o masi’eo, fe hampitsiñeñe añ’ieñ’ ao o lo-tserekeo; fa tsy haozarañe ty handreketa’ ondatio.
10 The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
Ho demodemoheñe o mifandietse amy Iehovào; hangotroha’e boak’ an-dikerañe ao; ho zakae’ Iehovà o olon-taneo; le hampaozare’e i mpanjaka’ey, vaho haonjo’e ty tsifa’ i noriza’ey.
11 and departed to Armathaim: and the child ministered in the presence of the Lord before Heli the priest.
Aa le nimpoly mb’añ’anjomba’e mb’e Ramà mb’eo t’i Elkanà; vaho nitoroñe Iehovà añatrefa’ i Elý mpisoroñe i ajajay.
12 And the sons of Heli the priest [were] evil sons, not knowing the Lord.
Ondaty tsi-vokatse i ana-dahi’ i Ely rey, tsy nahafohiñe Iehovà.
13 And the priest's claim from every one of the people that sacrificed [was this: ] the servant of the priest came when the flesh was in seething, and a flesh-hook of three teeth [was] in his hand.
Inao ty sata’ i mpisoroñe rey am’ ondatio: Naho mañenga soroñe t’indaty, ie mbe mandeve i henay, le mb’eo ty mpitoro’ i mpisoroñe rey reketse fitsovohan-kena telo fitsipoke am-pità’e;
14 And he struck it into the great caldron, or into the brazen vessel, or into the pot, and whatever came up with the flesh-hook, the priest took for himself: so they did to all Israel that came to sacrifice to the Lord in Selom.
vaho atsovo’e ke an-kitra ao, ke añ’ana-kalañe, ke am-balàñe, hera an-tsajoa; le ze akare’ i fitsovohan-kenay ty endese’ i mpisoroñey ho aze. Nanoe’ iareo amy ze hene ana’ Israele niheo mb’e Silò mb’eo Izay.
15 And before the fat was burnt for a sweet savour, the servant of the priest would come, and say to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest, and I will by no means take of thee sodden flesh out of the caldron.
Eka, ie mbe tsy nahatoeñe i solikey le nimb’eo ty mpitoro’ i mpisoroñey nanao ty hoe amy ‘ndaty nanao soroñey: Anoloro hena hatono’ay ho a i mpisoroñey; fa tsy ho no’e ama’o ty hena nahandroeñe; i mantay ty paiae’e.
16 And [if] the man that sacrificed said, First let the fat be burned, as it is fit, and take for thyself of all things which thy soul desires: then he would say, Nay, for thou shalt give it me now; and if not I will take it by force.
Aa naho nanoa’ indatiy ty hoe: Angao hahatoeñe hey o henao, vaho alao ze satrin’ arofo’o; le nanoa’e ty hoe: Aiy! atoloro ahy hey tsy mone ho tavaneko.
17 So the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord, for they set at nought the offering of the Lord.
Toe jabajaba añatrefa’ Iehovà ty hakeo’ i ajalahy rey; amy te nimavoe’ iareo o engaeñe amy Iehovào.
18 And Samuel ministered before the Lord, a child girt with a linen ephod.
Ie amy zao nitoroñe añatrefa’ Iehovà t’i Samoele, an-kitambe leny, ie mb’e ajaja.
19 And his mother made him a little doublet, and brought it to him from year to year, in her going up in company with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
Le zinain-drene’e ho aze ty saroñe kedekedeke vaho natolo’e aze boa-taoñe amy lia’e mb’eo mindre amy vali’e mpañenga sorom-boa-taoñey.
20 And Heli blessed Helcana and his wife, saying The Lord recompense to thee seed of this woman, in return for the loan which thou hast lent to the Lord: and the man returned to his place.
Nitatae’ i Elý t’i Elkanà naho i tañanjomba’ey ami’ty hoe: Hatolo’ Iehovà ama’o abey añami’ty rakemba toy ty tiry hisolo i nihalaliañe am’ Iehovày. Le nimpoly mb’añ’ anjomba’ iareo mb’eo.
21 And the Lord visited Anna, and she bore yet three sons, and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the Lord.
Aa le nahatiahy i Khanà t’Iehovà, le niaren-dre, vaho nahasamak’ ana-dahy telo naho anak’ampela roe. Nitombo añatrefa’ Iehovà t’i Samoele.
22 And Heli [was] very old, and he heard what his sons did to the children of Israel.
Nigain-kantetse t’i Elý; naho jinanji’e iaby o sata’ i ana’e rey amy Israeleo, naho t’ie nifandia tihy amo rakemba mpitoroñe an-dalan-kivohom-pamantañañeo.
23 And he said to them, Why do ye according to this thing, which I hear from the mouth of all the people of the Lord?
Le nanoe’e ty hoe: Ino ty anoe’ areo ze o raha zao? Raty ty italilia’ ondaty iabio.
24 Nay [my] sons, for the report which I hear [is] not good; do not so, for the reports which I hear [are] not good, so that the people do not serve God.
Tsy mete izay, ry anako; toe tsy soa ty talily tsanoñeko te ampandilare’ areo ondati’ Iehovào.
25 If a man should at all sin against another, then shall they pray for him to the Lord; but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall intreat for him? But they hearkened not to the voice of their father, because the Lord would by all means destroy them.
Naho aman-kakeo ama’ ondaty t’indaty, le ho zakaem-pizaka; fe naho aman-tahiñe am’Iehovà t’indaty, ia ty hañalañalañe ho aze? Fe tsy hinao’ iareo ty fiarañanañan-drae’ iareo, fa toe satri’ Iehovà t’ie hampihomaheñe.
26 And the child Samuel advanced, and was in favour with God and with men.
Mbe nitombo erike t’i Samoele ajajay, nionjoñe am-pañisoha’ Iehovà vaho am’ondatio.
27 And a man of God came to Heli, and said, Thus says the Lord, I plainly revealed myself to the house of thy father, when they were servants in Egypt to the house of Pharao.
Nomb’amy Elý amy zao ty ondatin’ Añahare, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà: Tsy niboake malange añ’anjomban-droae’o hao iraho, ie te Mitsraime añe añatrefan’ anjomba’ i Parò?
28 And I chose the house of thy father out of all the tribes of Israel to minister to me in the priest's office, to go up to my altar, and to burn incense, and to wear an ephod. And I gave to the house of thy father all the offerings by fire of the children of Israel for food.
Tsy jinoboko amo hene’ fifokoa’ Israeleo hao re ho mpisoroko, hionjoñe mb’ amy kitrelikoy mb’eo hañemboke naho hisikiñe kitambe añatrefako? Mbore fonga natoloko aman’ anjomban-drae’o o nengae’ o ana’ Israeleo horoañe añ’ afoo?
29 And wherefore hast thou looked upon my incense-offering and my meat-offering with a shameless eye, and hast honoured thy sons above me, so that they should bless themselves with the first-fruits of every sacrifice of Israel before me?
Ino arè ty itimpaha’ areo o fisoroñañe ahikoo naho o engaeñe amakoo, o nandiliako hanoeñe amy fimoneñakoio, vaho iasia’o ambone ahy o ana’oo, amondraha’ areo sandriñe amy ze hene voli-hena engae’ ondatiko Israeleo?
30 Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel, I said, Thy house and the house of thy father shall pass before me for ever: but now the Lord says, That be far from me; for I will only honour them that honour me, and he that sets me at nought shall be despised.
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele: Toe vinolako i anjomba’oy, naho i anjomban-droae’oy, ty hañavelo añatrefako eo nainai’e; fa hoe ka t’Iehovà henane zao: ho lavitse amako izay; hiasiako ze miasy ahy, le tsy honjoneko ze manirìka ahy.
31 Behold, the days come when I will destroy thy seed and the seed of thy father's house.
Inao! ho tondroke ty andro, te haitoako ama’o ty fita’o havana, naho ty fitàn’ anjomban-drae’o le tsy ho ama’ ondaty antetse ka ty añ’anjomba’o ao.
32 And thou shalt not have an old man in my house for ever.
Hahaisake rafelahy an-kibohoko ao irehe, amy ze hene hasoa hanoe’e am’Israele; ihe tsy ho ama’ ondaty bey añ’anjomba’o ao kitro-katroke.
33 And [if] I do not destroy a man of thine from my altar, [it shall be] that his eyes may fail and his soul may perish; and every one that remains in thy house shall fall by the sword of men.
Toe tsy hene haitoako amy kitrelikoy o ondati’oo, fa ho nampilesa ty fihaino’o naho hampioremeñeñe ty arofo’o fe fonga hihomake o tirin’ anjomba’oo t’ie mbe ajalahy.
34 And this which shall come upon thy two sons Ophni and Phinees shall be a sign to thee; in one day they shall both die.
Aa zao ty ho viloñe ama’o: Hifetsak’ amy ana-dahi’o roe rey, amy Kofný naho i Pinekàse, te toe hitrao-pivetrak’ ami’ty andro raike—ie roe.
35 And I will raise up to myself a faithful priest, who shall do all that is in my heart and in my soul; and I will build him a sure house, and he shall walk before my Christ for ever.
Fe hatroako ty mpisoroñe migahiñe, ie ty hañeneke ze an-troko naho am-pitsakoreako; le handranjiako anjomba fatratse vaho hitoroñe añatrefa’ i norizakoy nainai’e re.
36 And it shall come to pass that he that survives in thy house, shall come to do obeisance before him for a little piece of silver, saying, Put me into one of thy priest's offices to eat bread.
Ie amy zao, songa homb’eo ze sehanga’e añ’akiba’o ao, hidrakadrakak’ ama’e hahazoa’e ty volafoty naho ty vonga-mofo ami’ty hoe: ehe gineo hitoloñeko ho mpisoroñe hihinanako mofo pilipito’e.
