Kings I 1
1 There was a man of Armathaim Sipha, of mount Ephraim, and his name [was] Helkana, a son of Jeremeel the son of Elias the son of Thoke, in Nasib Ephraim.
Ne nitie ngʼat moro mane odak Ramathaim Zuf e piny gode mag Efraim. Ngʼatno ne nyinge Elkana wuod Jeroham ma wuod Elihu wuod Tohu, wuod Zuf ma ja-Efraim.
2 And he [had] two wives; the name of the one [was] Anna, and the name of the second Phennana. And Phennana had children, but Anna had no child.
Ne en gi mon ariyo ma moro ne nyinge Hana to machielo nyinge Penina. Penina ne nigi nyithindo to Hana ne ongego.
3 And the man went up from year to year from his city, from Armathaim, to worship and sacrifice to the Lord God of Sabaoth at Selom: and [there were] Heli and his two sons Ophni and Phinees, the priests of the Lord.
Higa ka higa ngʼatni ne wuok e dalane kodhi lemo kendo timo misango ne Jehova Nyasaye Maratego e Shilo, kuma Hofni gi Finehas, yawuot Eli ariyo, ne jodolo mag Jehova Nyasaye.
4 And the day came, and Helkana sacrificed, and gave portions to his wife Phennana and her children.
Kane odiechiengʼ ochopo ma Elkana chiwoe misango, ne omiyo Penina gi yawuote kod nyige lemo mar ringʼo.
5 And to Anna he gave a prime portion, because she had no child, only Helkana loved Anna more than the other; but the Lord [had] closed her womb.
Hana to nomiyo nyadiriyo nikech nohere, kendo Jehova Nyasaye noloro iye mane ok onyal nywol.
6 For the Lord gave her no child in her affliction, and according to the despondency of her affliction; and she was dispirited on this account, that the Lord shut up her womb so as not to give her a child.
Kendo nikech Jehova Nyasaye noloro iye mane ok onyal nywol, nyieke ne osiko mana kajare mondo owangʼ iye.
7 So she did year by year, in going up to the house of the Lord; and she was dispirited, and wept, and did not eat.
Ajarano ne dhi nyime higa ka higa, to moloyo, e kinde ka kinde mane Hana dhi e od Jehova Nyasaye. E kindego nyieke ne osiko kawangʼo iye gi wechego manyaka oywagi ma ok onyal kata chiemo.
8 And Helkana her husband said to her, Anna: and she said to him, Here [am] I, my lord: and he said to her, What ails you that you weep? and why do you not eat? and why does your heart strike you? [am] I not better to you than ten children?
Elkana jaode ne jawachone niya, “Hana, angʼo momiyo iywak? Angʼo momoni chiemo? Angʼo momiyo chunyi osin? Donge onego aloni yawuowi apar?”
9 And Anna rose up after they had eaten in Selom, and stood before the Lord: and Heli the priest [was] on a seat by the threshold of the temple of the Lord.
Chiengʼ moro kane gisetieko chiemo kod metho kane gin Shilo, Hana nochungʼ malo. Sano noyudo ka Eli ma jadolo obet e kom but dhood hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
10 And she [was] very much grieved in spirit, and prayed to the Lord, and wept abundantly.
Nikech Hana ne nigi chuny malit noywak ahinya kolamo Jehova Nyasaye.
11 And she vowed a vow to the Lord, saying, O Lord God of Sabaoth, if you welt indeed look upon the humiliation of your handmaid, and remember me, and give to your handmaid a boy, then will I indeed dedicate him to you till the day of his death; and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink, and no razor shall come upon his head.
Kendo nokwongʼore kowacho niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ka inine masich jatichni kendo ipara ma wiyi ok owil gi jatichni ma imiye wuowi, eka anachiwe ne Jehova Nyasaye e ndalo duto mar ngimane, kendo wembe ok nolielgo wiye.”
12 And it came to pass, while she was long praying before the Lord, that Heli the priest marked her mouth.
Kaka nomedo lamo Jehova Nyasaye, Eli ne ngʼiye ka nono dhoge.
13 And she was speaking in her heart, and her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: and Heli accounted her a drunken woman.
Hana to ne lemo gie chunye to dhoge to ne diemore adiema to dwonde to ok winji. Eli noparo ni omer
14 And the servant of Heli said to her, How long will you be drunken? take away your wine from you, and go out from the presence of the Lord.
mi nowachone niya, “Nyaka karangʼo mibiro siko kimer?” We metho.
15 And Anna answered and said, Nay, my lord, [I live] in a hard day, and I have not drunk wine or strong drink, and I pour out my soul before the Lord.
Hana ne odwoke niya, Ok kamano ruodha. An mana dhako man-gi lit ahinya. Ok asebedo kamadho kongʼo kata gik mamero ji, to achiwo chunya ne Jehova Nyasaye.
16 Count not your handmaid for a pestilent woman, for by reason of the abundance of my importunity I have continued [my prayer] until now.
Kik ikaw jatichni ka dhako ma timbege mono. Asebedo kalamo ka nikech chandruok gi kuyona.
17 And Heli answered and said to her, Go in peace: the God of Israel give you all your petition, which you have asked of him.
Eli nodwoke kawachone niya, “Dhi gi kwe, mad Nyasach Israel miyi gima isebedo kikwaye.”
18 And she said, Your handmaid has found favour in your eyes: and the woman went her way, and entered into her lodging, and ate and drank with her husband, and her countenance was no more sad.
Hana nowacho niya, “Mad jatichni yud ngʼwono e wangʼi.” Eka nodhi e yore owuon mochamo gimoro, kendo wangʼe ne koro onge kuyo.
19 And they rise early in the morning, and worship the Lord, and they go their way: and Helkana went into his house at Armathaim, and knew his wife Anna; and the Lord remembered her, and she conceived.
Kinyne gokinyi negichungʼ mine gilemo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye eka negidok dalagi Rama. Elkana nobedo e achiel gi chiege ma Hana eka Jehova Nyasaye nopare.
20 And it came to pass when the time was come, that she brought forth a son, and called his name Samuel, and said, Because I asked him of the Lord God of Sabaoth.
E kindeno Hana nomako ich monywolo wuode. Nochake ni Samuel kowacho niya, “Nikech ne akwaye Jehova Nyasaye.”
21 And the man Helkana and all his house went up to offer in Selom the yearly sacrifice, and his vows, and all the tithes of his land.
Kane Elkana gi jaode jodhi timo misango mar higa ka higa ne Jehova Nyasaye kendo chopo singruokne,
22 But Anna did not go up with him, for she said to her husband, [I will not go up] until the child goes up, when I have weaned him, and he shall be presented before the Lord, and he shall abide there continually.
Hana ne ok odhi. Ne owacho ne chwore niya, “Ka nyathi ma wuowi oseweyo dhoth to abiro tere e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kendo obiro dak kuno nyaka chiengʼ.”
23 And Helkana her husband said to her, Do that which is good in your eyes, abide still until you shall have weaned him; but may the Lord establish that which comes out of your mouth: and the woman tarried, and suckled her son until she had weaned him.
Elkana chwore ne owachone niya, “Tim kaka ineno ni berni. Rit nyaka nyathi we dhoth kendo mad Jehova Nyasaye kende ema chop wachne.” Omiyo dhakoni nobet dala kodhodho wuode nyaka noweyo dhodhe.
24 And she went up with him to Selom with a calf of three years old, and loaves, and an ephah of fine flour, and a bottle of wine: and she entered into the house of the Lord in Selom, and the child with them.
Bangʼ kane nyathi oseweyo dhoth nokawo wuowi modhi kode kata obedo ni pod otin kamano, nodhi gi nyarwath ma hike adek gi mogo madirom depe ariyo gi divai lita piero ariyo gariyo, eka nokele e od Jehova Nyasaye man Shilo.
25 And they brought him before the Lord; and his father killed his offering which he offered from year to year to the Lord; and he brought near the child, and killed the calf; and Anna the mother of the child brought him to Heli.
Kane giseyangʼo rwath ne gitero wuowino ir Eli.
26 And she said, I pray you, my lord, as your soul lives, I [am] the woman that stood in your presence with you while praying to the Lord.
Eka nowachone niya, “Yaye ruodha, akwongʼora e nyimi ni an e dhako mane ochungʼ buti cha kalamo Jehova Nyasaye.
27 For this child I prayed; and the Lord has given me my request that I asked of him.
Ne alamo kakwayo nyathini kendo Jehova Nyasaye osedwoka kendo omiya gima ne akwaye.
28 And I lend him to the Lord all his days that he lives, a loan to the Lord: and she said,
Omiyo sani achiwe ne Jehova Nyasaye. Kuom ngimane duto asechiwe ne Jehova Nyasaye.” Kendo Eli nopako Jehova Nyasaye kanyo.
