1 Samuel 1
1 There was a man of one of the two Ramathaim Zophim, of mount Ephraim, whose name was Elkanah the sonne of Ieroham, the sonne of Elihu, the sonne of Tohu, the sonne of Zuph, an Ephrathite:
Te gen yon nonm, moun branch fanmi Efrayim, ki te rele Elkana. Li te rete lavil Rama nan mòn peyi Efrayim. Se te pitit Jewokam, pitit pitit Eliyou, nan fanmi Tokou, nan branch fanmi Zouf la.
2 And he had two wiues: the name of one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
Elkana te gen de madanm, yonn te rele Ana, lòt la te rele Penina. Penina te fè pitit pou li. Men, Ana pa t' gen pitit.
3 And this man went vp out of his citie euery yeere, to worship and to sacrifice vnto the Lord of hostes in Shiloh, where were the two sonnes of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas Priests of the Lord.
Chak lanne, Elkana soti lavil Rama, li moute lavil Silo pou l' al fè sèvis pou Seyè ki gen tout pou vwa a, pou l' touye bèt pou li. Se de pitit Eli yo, Ofni ak Fineas, ki te prèt Seyè a lavil Silo.
4 And on a day, when Elkanah sacrificed, he gaue to Peninnah his wife and to all her sonnes and daughters portions,
Chak fwa Elkana te ofri bèt pou Seyè a, li te toujou pran yon pòsyon pou Penina, yon pòsyon pou chak pitit fi ak pitit gason li yo.
5 But vnto Hannah he gaue a worthy portion: for he loued Hannah, and the Lord had made her barren.
Men, li te bay Ana yon pòsyon doub, paske li te renmen l' anpil, atout Seyè a pa t' ba li pitit.
6 And her aduersarie vexed her sore, forasmuch as she vpbraided her, because the Lord had made her barren.
Penina menm te toujou ap giyonnen Ana pou fè l' wont, paske Seyè a pa t' ba li pitit.
7 (And so did he yeere by yeere) and as oft as she went vp to the house of the Lord, thus she vexed her, that she wept and did not eate.
Sa kontinye konsa chak lanne pandan lontan. Chak fwa yo te moute ale nan tanp Seyè a, Penina gen pou anbete Ana jouk li fè l' fache. Lè konsa, Ana menm rete ap kriye, li pa vle manje anyen.
8 Then sayd Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thine heart troubled? am not I better to thee then ten sonnes?
Elkana, mari li, di l' konsa: -Aa, machè! Poukisa w'ap plede kriye konsa? Poukisa ou pa manje? Poukisa ou kagou konsa? Ou genyen m', se tankou si ou te genyen depase dis pitit gason.
9 So Hannah rose vp after that they had eaten and drunke in Shiloh (and Eli the Priest sate vpon a stoole by one of the postes of the Temple of the Lord)
Yon lè yo te lavil Silo, apre yo te fin manje, yo te fin bwè, Ana leve. Eli, prèt la, te chita sou chèz li bò pòtay Tanp Seyè a.
10 And she was troubled in her minde, and prayed vnto the Lord, and wept sore:
Ana te gen anpil lapenn. Li t'ap lapriyè nan pye Seyè a, dlo t'ap koule nan je l'.
11 Also she vowed a vowe, and sayd, O Lord of hostes, if thou wilt looke on the trouble of thine handmaide, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaide, but giue vnto thine handmaide a manchilde, then I will giue him vnto the Lord all the dayes of his life, and there shall no rasor come vpon his head.
Li fè Seyè a yon pwomès, li di l' konsa: -Seyè, ou menm ki gen tout pouvwa a, tanpri voye je ou sou sèvant ou a non! Gade lapenn mwen! Si ou pa bliye m', si ou ban m' yon pitit gason, m'ap mete l' apa pou li viv pou ou ase. Li p'ap janm koupe cheve nan tèt li.
12 And as she continued praying before the Lord, Eli marked her mouth.
Pandan tout tan Ana t'ap lapriyè konsa devan Seyè a, Eli t'ap gade bouch li.
13 For Hannah spake in her heart: her lips did moue onely, but her voyce was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had bene drunken.
Men, Ana t'ap lapriyè nan kè l'. Se bouch li ase ki t'ap bat, konsa moun pa t' ka tande sa l'ap di a. Lè sa a, Eli te konprann se sou li te sou.
14 And Eli sayde vnto her, Howe long wilt thou be drunken? Put away thy drunkennesse from thee.
Li di l' konsa: -Kilè w'a sispann bwè jouk pou ou sou konsa? Soti al desoule ou yon lòt kote!
15 Then Hannah answered and sayd, Nay my lord, but I am a woman troubled in spirit: I haue drunke neither wine nor strong drinke, but haue powred out my soule before the Lord.
Ana reponn li: -Se pa sou mwen sou non, mèt! Mwen pa goute ni diven ni ankenn lòt bweson. Se nan gwo lapenn mwen ye. Se louvri m'ap louvri kè m' bay Seyè a. Se rakonte m'ap rakonte Seyè a lapenn mwen.
16 Count not thine handmaide for a wicked woman: for of the abundance of my complaint and my griefe haue I spoken hitherto.
Tanpri, mèt! Pa pran m' pou yon fanm lib! Kifè m'ap pale konsa, se paske mwen nan gwo tèt chaje. Chagren ap touye m'.
17 Then Eli answered, and sayd, Go in peace, and the God of Israel graunt thy petition that thou hast asked of him.
Lè sa a, Eli reponn li: -Ale ak kè poze. Mwen mande Bondye pèp Izrayèl la pou l' ba ou sa ou mande l' la.
18 She sayd againe, Let thine handmayd finde grace in thy sight: so the woman went her way, and did eate, and looked no more sad.
Ana reponn li: -M' espere ou p'ap janm bliye m'! Epi li leve, l' al fè wout li. Li manje. Depi lè sa a, li pa t' menm moun lan ankò.
19 Then they rose vp early, and worshipped before the Lord, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah. Nowe Elkanah knewe Hannah his wife, and the Lord remembred her.
Nan denmen maten, Elkana leve byen bonè ak tout fanmi li, yo adore Seyè a. Apre sa, yo tounen lakay yo lavil Rama. Elkama kouche ak Ana, madanm li. Epi, Seyè a fè pou Ana sa li te mande l' la.
20 For in processe of time Hannah conceiued, and bare a sonne, and she called his name Samuel, Because, said she, I haue asked him of the Lord.
Se konsa Ana vin ansent. Lè lè a rive pou l' akouche, li fè yon pitit gason. Li rele l' Samyèl, paske li te di: Mwen te mande Seyè a li.
21 So the man Elkanah and all his house went vp to offer vnto the Lord the yeerely sacrifice, and his vowe:
Apre sa, Elkana moute lavil Silo ansanm ak tout fanmi li yo pou yo te ka fè ofrann yo gen pou yo fè chak lanne bay Seyè a, ansanm ak ofrann espesyal yo te fè ve bay Seyè a.
22 But Hannah went not vp: for she sayd vnto her husband, I will tarie vntill the childe be weined, then I will bring him that hee may appeare before the Lord, and there abide for euer.
Men Ana pa t' ale. Li di mari l' konsa: -Fini m'a fin sevre pitit la, m'a mennen l' nan Tanp Seyè a kote li pral rete pou tout tan.
23 And Elkanah her husband sayd vnto her, Do what seemeth thee best: tarie vntill thou hast weined him: only the Lord accomplish his word. So the woman abode, and gaue her sonne sucke vntill she weined him.
Elkana, mari li, di l': -Fè sa ou wè ki pi bon an. Rete non jouk w'a fin sevre l'. Tansèlman, se pou Seyè a fè sa li te di a rive vre. Se konsa Ana rete pou l' pran swen ti bebe a jouk li sevre l'.
24 And when she had weined him, she tooke him with her with three bullockes and an Ephah of floure and a bottell of wine, and brought him vnto the house of the Lord in Shiloh, and the childe was yong.
Apre li fin sevre pitit la, li mennen l' lavil Silo. Li te pran avè l' yon ti towo bèf twazan, yon barik farin, yon sak an po bèt plen diven. Li mennen ti gason an nan tanp Seyè a, lavil Silo, atout li te tou piti toujou.
25 And they slewe a bullocke, and brought the childe to Eli.
Yo touye ti towo a, epi yo mennen ti gason an bay Eli.
26 And she said, Oh my Lord, as thy soule liueth, my lord, I am the woman that stoode with thee here praying vnto the Lord.
Ana di l': -Eskize m' wi, mèt. Ou pa chonje ki moun mwen ye? Menm jan ou vivan an, se mwen menm fanm ou te wè ki te kanpe bò kote ou la yon jou ap lapriyè Seyè a.
27 I prayed for this childe, and the Lord hath giuen me my desire which I asked of him.
Mwen te mande l' pou l' te ban mwen pitit gason sa a. Li ban mwen sa m' te mande l' la.
28 Therefore also I haue giuen him vnto the Lord: as long as he liueth hee shalbe giuen vnto the Lord: and he worshipped the Lord there.
Se konsa m' vin mete l' apa pou l' ka viv pou Seyè a ase jouk li mouri. Apre sa, yo adore Seyè a la nan tanp lan.
