1 Samuel 1
1 There was a certain man from Ramah of Zophim, on Mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
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 one was Hannah, and the name of the second was Peninnah. And Peninnah had sons. But Hannah did not have children.
Ne en gi mon ariyo ma moro ne nyinge Hana to machielo nyinge Penina. Penina ne nigi nyithindo to Hana ne ongego.
3 And this man went up from his city, on the established days, so that he might adore and sacrifice to the Lord of hosts at Shiloh. Now the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests of the Lord, were in that place.
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 Then the day arrived, and Elkanah immolated. And he gave portions to his wife Peninnah, and to all her sons and daughters.
Kane odiechiengʼ ochopo ma Elkana chiwoe misango, ne omiyo Penina gi yawuote kod nyige lemo mar ringʼo.
5 But to Hannah he gave one portion with sorrow. For he loved Hannah, but the Lord had closed her womb.
Hana to nomiyo nyadiriyo nikech nohere, kendo Jehova Nyasaye noloro iye mane ok onyal nywol.
6 And her rival afflicted her and vehemently distressed her, to a great extent, for she rebuked her that the Lord had closed her womb.
Kendo nikech Jehova Nyasaye noloro iye mane ok onyal nywol, nyieke ne osiko mana kajare mondo owangʼ iye.
7 And she did so every year, when the time returned for them to ascend to the temple of the Lord. And she provoked her in this way. And so, she wept and did not take food.
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 Therefore, her husband Elkanah said to her: “Hannah, why are you weeping? And why do you not eat? And for what reason do you afflict your heart? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”
Elkana jaode ne jawachone niya, “Hana, angʼo momiyo iywak? Angʼo momoni chiemo? Angʼo momiyo chunyi osin? Donge onego aloni yawuowi apar?”
9 And so, after she ate and drank at Shiloh, Hannah rose up. And Eli, the priest, was sitting on the seat before the door 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 since Hannah was bitter in soul, she prayed to the Lord, weeping greatly.
Nikech Hana ne nigi chuny malit noywak ahinya kolamo Jehova Nyasaye.
11 And she made a vow, saying, “O Lord of hosts, if, in looking with favor, you will see the affliction of your servant and will remember me, and will not forget your handmaid, and if you will give to your servant a male child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall pass over 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 Then it happened that, while she multiplied prayers before the Lord, Eli observed her mouth.
Kaka nomedo lamo Jehova Nyasaye, Eli ne ngʼiye ka nono dhoge.
13 For Hannah was speaking in her heart, and only her lips moved, and her voice was barely heard. Therefore, Eli considered her to be drunk,
Hana to ne lemo gie chunye to dhoge to ne diemore adiema to dwonde to ok winji. Eli noparo ni omer
14 and so he said to her: “How long will you be inebriated? You should take only a little wine, but instead you are drenched.”
mi nowachone niya, “Nyaka karangʼo mibiro siko kimer?” We metho.
15 Responding, Hannah said: “By no means, my lord. For I am an exceedingly unhappy woman, and I drank neither wine, nor anything that can inebriate. Instead, I have poured out my soul in the sight of 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 You should not repute your handmaid as one of the daughters of Belial. For I have been speaking from the abundance of my sorrow and grief, even until now.”
Kik ikaw jatichni ka dhako ma timbege mono. Asebedo kalamo ka nikech chandruok gi kuyona.
17 Then Eli said to her: “Go in peace. And may the God of Israel grant to you your petition, which you have begged of him.”
Eli nodwoke kawachone niya, “Dhi gi kwe, mad Nyasach Israel miyi gima isebedo kikwaye.”
18 And she said, “I wish that your handmaid may find grace in your eyes.” And the woman went on her way, and she ate, and her countenance was no longer changed for the worse.
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 rose up in the morning, and they worshipped before the Lord. And they returned and arrived at their own house at Ramah. Then Elkanah knew his wife Hannah. And the Lord remembered her.
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 happened that, in the course of days, Hannah conceived and bore a son. And she called his name Samuel, because she had requested him from the Lord.
E kindeno Hana nomako ich monywolo wuode. Nochake ni Samuel kowacho niya, “Nikech ne akwaye Jehova Nyasaye.”
21 Now her husband Elkanah ascended with his entire house, so that he might immolate to the Lord a solemn sacrifice, with his vow.
Kane Elkana gi jaode jodhi timo misango mar higa ka higa ne Jehova Nyasaye kendo chopo singruokne,
22 But Hannah did not go up. For she said to her husband, “I will not go, until the infant has been weaned, and until I may lead him, so that he may appear before the sight of the Lord, and may remain always there.”
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 her husband Elkanah said to her: “Do what seems good to you, and stay until you wean him. And I pray that the Lord may fulfill his word.” Therefore, the woman remained at home, and she breastfed her son, until she withdrew him from milk.
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 after she had weaned him, she brought him with her, along with three calves, and three measures of flour, and a small bottle of wine, and she led him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh. But the boy was still a young child.
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 immolated a calf, and they presented the boy to Eli.
Kane giseyangʼo rwath ne gitero wuowino ir Eli.
26 And Hannah said: “I beg you, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord: I am that woman, who stood before you here, praying to the Lord.
Eka nowachone niya, “Yaye ruodha, akwongʼora e nyimi ni an e dhako mane ochungʼ buti cha kalamo Jehova Nyasaye.
27 I prayed for this child, and the Lord granted to me my petition, which I asked of him.
Ne alamo kakwayo nyathini kendo Jehova Nyasaye osedwoka kendo omiya gima ne akwaye.
28 Because of this, I have also lent him to the Lord, for all the days when he shall be lent to the Lord.” And they adored the Lord in that place. And Hannah prayed, and she said:
Omiyo sani achiwe ne Jehova Nyasaye. Kuom ngimane duto asechiwe ne Jehova Nyasaye.” Kendo Eli nopako Jehova Nyasaye kanyo.
