< 1 Samuel 1 >

1 Once there was a man from Ramathaim-zophim in the hill country of Ephraim. His name was Elkanah, son of Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, from the tribe of Ephraim.
Goumi soge amoga Ifala: ime fifi lai dunu ilia da La: ima moilaiga fi dialu. Amogai dunu afae Elega: ina esalu. E da Yilouha: me ea mano, amola ea aowa da Ilaihu galu. Ea sosogo fi da Douhu fi amoga galu, be fidafa da Safe.
2 He had two wives. The name of the first wife was Hannah, and the name of the second, Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had none.
Elega: ina da uda aduna lai galu. Elea dio da Ha: na amola Binina. Binina da mano gilisi galu, be Ha: na da aligime esalu.
3 Every year Elkanah would leave his town and go to worship and sacrifice to the Lord Almighty at Shiloh, where Eli's two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were the Lord's priests.
Elega: ina da ode huluane Siailou moilaiga Hina Gode Bagadedafa Ema nodone sia: ne gadomusa: , amola gobele sala ahoasu. Amogawi, Ilai ea mano aduna amo Hofenai amola Finia: se da Hina Gode Ea gobele salasu ouligisu dunu esalu.
4 Whenever Elkanah offered a sacrifice, he would give portions of it to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and daughters.
Elega: ina da ea gobele salasu liligi ianoba, e da heda: sini na: iyadodi afae Bininama iasu, amola eno afae Binina ea manogili sagosu.
5 He would give an extra portion to Hannah, to show his love for her even though the Lord hadn't given her any children.
Elega: ina da Ha: na ema bagade asigisu, be amomane ema heda: sini afae afae fawane ianusu. Bai Hina Gode da Ha: na ema mano hame i.
6 Her rival—the other wife—would taunt her badly to upset her because the Lord hadn't given her any children.
Binina da Ha: na ema hame asigisu. E da Ha: na ema da: da: losu. Bai Hina Gode da Ha: na aligime hamonesi, e da Ha: nama da: da: losu.
7 This went on for years. Whenever Hannah went to the Lord's Temple, Peninnah would taunt her until she cried and couldn't eat.
Amanemusu hamonana ode bagohame gidigisa asi. Ilia da Hina Gode Ea diasuga ahoanoba, Binina da Ha: na da: i dioma: ne gadesu amola da: da: losu hamobeba: le, Ha: na bagadewane da: i dione amola disu amola ha: i manu gobei amoga hamedafa nasu.
8 “Hannah, what are you crying for?” her husband Elkanah would ask. “Why don't you eat? Why are you so upset? Aren't I better to you than ten sons?”
Be egoa Elega: ina da Ha: nama agoane adole ba: su, “Ha: na! Abuliba: le di da dinana amola ha: i manu gobei hame nahala: ? Abuliba: le di da eso huluane da: i dioiwane ba: sala: ? Di da nama asigi hou da dunu mano nabuane gala ilima asigi hou da hame baligiyale dawa: bela: ?”
9 One time when they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh, Hannah got up and went to the Temple. Eli the priest was sitting on his seat by the entrance to the Lord's Temple.
Eso afaega, Hina Gode Ea diasu Siailou moilaiga amo ganodini ha: i nanu fisiagale, Ha: na da wa: legadole, e da bagade da: i dione amola Hina Godema sia: ne gadosa ha: gidafa dinanu. Amogalu, gobele salasu ouligisu dunu Ilai da logo holei gadenenewane hi fisu fafai da: iya esalu.
10 She was terribly upset, and prayed to the Lord as she cried and cried.
11 She made a vow, asking, “Lord Almighty, if only you would pay attention to the suffering of your servant and remember me, and not forget me but give me a son, then I will dedicate him to the Lord for his whole life, and no razor shall ever touch his head.”
Ha: na da Hina Godema amane ilegele sia: i, “Hina Gode Bagadedafa! Nama ba: ma! Na da Dia hawa: hamosu uda! Na da: i dioi ba: ma, amola na mae gogolema! Dia nagili mano ima! Amasea, amo mano na da Dima bu mogili gagale imunu, amalu ea dialuma hinabo hamedafa damunisimu.”
12 As Hannah went on praying before the Lord, Eli watched her mouth.
Ha: na da agoane Hina Godema sia: ne gadosa aligili bagadewane sia: ne gadolalusu. Amola Ilai da Ha: na ea lafi sosodolalu.
13 Hannah was praying in her head, and though her lips were moving, her voice made no sound. Eli thought she must be drunk.
Ha: na da sadoga sia: ne gadosu. Ea lafi da fafudalu be sia: da hame nabi. Amaiba: le, Ilai da amo uda adini nanu, feloabeyale dawa: lu,
14 “Do you have to come here drunk?” he asked. “Get rid of your wine!”
amola Ha: nama amane sia: i, “Yolema! Adini nanu di dunu eno ilia ba: ma: ne mae hidama. Adini nanu yolesili, bu gahegima.”
15 “It's not that, my lord,” Hannah replied. “I'm a very miserable woman. I haven't been drinking wine or beer; I'm just pouring my heart out to the Lord.
Ha: na da bu adole i, “Esega! Na da we adini maiga hame feloasa. Na da hiawini, na da: i dioi huluane Hina Godema olelelala.
16 Please don't think I'm a bad woman! I have been praying because of all my troubles and grief.”
Na da hamedei udayale mae dawa: ma. Na agoane sia: ne gadoi. Bai na bagade da: i dioiba: le fawane, agoane sia: ne gadoi.”
17 “Go in peace, and may the God of Israel give you what you have asked him for,” Eli replied.
Ilai da amane sia: i, “Hahawane masa! Amola Isala: ili Gode da dia hanai adole ba: i liligi dima imunu da defea.”
18 “Thank you for your kindness to your servant,” she said. Then she went on her way, had something to eat, and she didn't look sad any more.
Ha: na da bu adole i, “Di da eso huluane nama asabole dawa: lumu da defea.” Amalalu, e da asili, ha: i nanu, ea da: i dioi fisi dagoi ba: i.
19 Elkanah and Hannah got up early the next morning to worship the Lord and then they went home to Ramah. Elkanah made love to his wife Hannah, and the Lord honored her request.
Amalu, golale hahabedafa, Elega: ina amola ea sosogo huluane da wa: legadole, Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadolalu, ili La: ima moilaiga buhagi. Elega: ina da idua Ha: nala gilisili golai, amola Hina Gode da Ha: na ea sia: ne gadoi adole ba: i defele ema i.
20 In due course she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, “Because I asked the Lord for him.”
Amalu, Ha: na da abula agui esalu, dunu mano lalelegei. Ha: na da ea mano ea dio Sa: miuele asuli. Sa: miuele amo dawa: loma: ne da “Na da e lama: ne, Hina Godema adole ba: i.”
21 Elkanah and all his family went to make the yearly sacrifice to the Lord and to fulfill his vow.
Elega: ina amola ea sosogo fi ilia da odegamusu Siailou moilaiga Godema gobele sala ahoasu, be amo eso da doaga: iba: le, e da liligi eno ida: iwane galamusu Godema gobele salimusa: ilegei.
22 But Hannah did not go. She told her husband, “Once the boy is weaned I will take him to be presented to the Lord and to remain there forever.”
Be amo asi amoga Ha: na da hame asi. E da egoama amane sia: i, “Na mano da dodo nanu yolesea, na da Hina Gode Ea diasuga asula masunu. Amogai e da eso huluane esaloma: ne.”
23 “Do as you see fit,” her husband Elkanah replied. “Stay here until you have weaned him. May the Lord fulfill what he has said.” So Hannah stayed behind and nursed her son until she had weaned him.
Amalalu, Elega: ina da bu adole i, “Defea! Dia hanai habo da defea galea amo hamoma. Diasua esala, dodo nanusu yolesea fawane Gode Ea diasuga masa. Amola Hina Gode da dia ilegele mogili gagai sia: i amo dafawane hamomu da defea.” Amaiba: le, Ha: na da diasua esalu, mano ouligilalu.
24 When she had weaned him, Hannah took the boy with her, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour, and a wineskin containing wine. Even though the boy was young, she brought him to the Lord's Temple at Shiloh.
Ha: na da manoma dodo ianu yolei galu, e da Sa: miuele Siailou moilaiga oule asi. Amogai e da bulamagau gawali ode udiana gidigi adole amola agi10 gilogala: me agoane amola ohe gadofoga hamoi esaga waini hano dili sali amo gaguli asi.
25 After they had slaughtered the bull, they presented the boy to Eli.
Ili da bulamagau fane ligisilalu, mano amo oule Ilaima asi.
26 “Please, my lord,” said Hannah, “as surely as you live, my lord, I am the woman who stood here with you praying to the Lord.
Ha: na da Ilaima amane sia: i, “Ae esega! Dia da na dawa: bela: ? Na da uda musa: dia ba: i gui Hina Godema sia: ne gadosa lelebe ba: i.
27 I prayed for this boy, and since the Lord has given me what I asked him for,
Na da goe mano nama ima: ne Hina Godema adole ba: lalu, amaiba: le E da nagili mano i amo wea.
28 now I'm giving him to the Lord. As long as he lives he will be dedicated to the Lord.” And he worshiped the Lord there.
Amaiba: le, na da amo mano Hina Godema ia misi. Amalu ea fifi ahoanusu huluane da Hina Gode Hifawane da ouligilalumu,” Ha: na da amane sia: i. Amalu, ilia da goega gilisili Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadoi.
