1 Samuel 2
1 And Hannah prayed, and said, Mine heart reioyceth in the Lord, mine horne is exalted in the Lord: my mouth is enlarged ouer mine enemies, because I reioyce in thy saluation.
Ningĩ Hana akĩhooya, akiuga atĩrĩ:
2 There is none holy as the Lord: yea, there is none besides thee, and there is no god like our God.
“Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũ mũtheru ta Jehova;
3 Speake no more presumptuously: let not arrogancie come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him enterprises are established.
“Mũtigacooke kwaria na mwĩĩkĩrĩro ũguo
4 The bow and the mightie men are broken, and the weake haue girded themselues with strength.
“Mota ma njamba cia ita nĩmoinangĩku,
5 They that were full, are hired foorth for bread, and the hungrie are no more hired, so that the barren hath borne seuen: and shee that had many children, is feeble.
Arĩa maarĩ ahũũnu meyandĩkithagia nĩguo mone irio,
“Jehova nĩwe ũrehaga gĩkuũ, na nĩwe ũtũũragia muoyo; (Sheol h7585)
7 The Lord maketh poore and maketh rich: bringeth lowe, and exalteth.
Jehova nĩwe ũtũmaga andũ mathĩĩne na arĩa angĩ matonge;
8 He raiseth vp ye poore out of the dust, and lifteth vp the begger from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherite the seate of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lordes, and he hath set the world vpon them.
Ooyaga mũthĩĩni akamũruta rũkũngũ-inĩ,
9 Hee will keepe the feete of his Saintes, and the wicked shall keepe silence in darkenes: for in his owne might shall no man be strong.
Nĩakamenyerera makinya ma andũ ake arĩa atheru,
10 The Lordes aduersaries shall be destroyed, and out of heauen shall he thunder vpon them: the Lord shall iudge the endes of the worlde, and shall giue power vnto his King, and exalt the horne of his Anoynted.

11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house, and the childe did minister vnto the Lord before Eli the Priest.
Nake Elikana akĩinũka mũciĩ gwake Rama, no kahĩĩ kau gagĩtungatĩra Jehova karĩ harĩ Eli ũcio mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai.
12 Now the sonnes of Eli were wicked men, and knewe not the Lord.
Na rĩrĩ, ariũ a Eli maarĩ andũ aaganu; matiatĩĩte Jehova.
13 For the Priestes custome towarde the people was this: when any man offered sacrifice, the Priestes boy came, while the flesh was seething, and a fleshhooke with three teeth, in his hand,
Na rĩrĩ, warĩ mũtugo wa athĩnjĩri-Ngai harĩ andũ, atĩ rĩrĩa mũndũ o wothe aruta igongona, na rĩrĩa nyama ikĩrugwo, ndungata ya mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai yokaga na njibe ya mĩtheece ĩtatũ ĩrĩ guoko-inĩ.
14 And thrust it into the kettle, or into the caldron, or into the panne, or into the potte: all that the fleshhooke brought vp, the Priest tooke for himselfe: thus they did vnto all the Israelites, that came thither to Shiloh.
Yaikagia njibe ĩyo nyũngũ-inĩ ya kĩgera, kana thaburia-inĩ, kana gĩtengʼũ-inĩ, kana nyũngũ-inĩ ya rĩũmba, nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai akeyoera o kĩrĩa gĩothe njibe ĩngĩarutire. Ũguo nĩguo meekaga andũ othe a Isiraeli arĩa mookaga Shilo.
15 Yea, before they burnt the fat, the priests boy came and saide to the man that offered, Giue me flesh to rost for the priest: for he wil not haue sodden flesh of thee, but rawe.
Na o na mbere ya maguta gũcinwo-rĩ, ndungata ya mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩyokaga na ĩkeera mũndũ ũrĩa ũraruta igongona atĩrĩ, “He mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nyama imwe ahĩĩhie; ndegwĩtĩkĩra nyama nduge kuuma kũrĩ we, tiga o nyama njĩthĩ.”
16 And if any man saide vnto him, Let them burne the fatte according to the custome, then take as much as thine heart desireth: then hee would answere, No, but thou shalt giue it nowe: and if thou wilt not, I will take it by force.
Mũndũ angĩamwĩrire atĩrĩ, “Reke maguta mambe macinwo, ũcooke woe kĩrĩa gĩothe ũkwenda,” ndungata yacookagia atĩrĩ, “Aca, nengera o ro rĩu; kwaga ũguo, ndĩmĩoe na hinya.”
17 Therefore the sinne of the yong men was very great before the Lord: for men abhorred the offering of the Lord.
Wĩhia ũcio wa aanake a Eli warĩ mũnene mũno maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nĩmanyararaga magongona marĩa andũ maarutagĩra Jehova.
18 Now Samuel being a yong childe ministred before the Lord, girded with a linen Ephod.
Nowe Samũeli aatungataga mbere ya Jehova arĩ o mwana mũnini, ehumbĩte ebodi ya gatani.
19 And his mother made him a litle coat, and brought it to him from yeere to yeere, when she came vp with her husband, to offer the yerely sacrifice.
O mwaka nyina nĩamũtumagĩra gakanjũ, akamũtwarĩra rĩrĩa megũthiĩ na mũthuuriwe kũruta igongona rĩa mwaka o mwaka.
20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The Lord giue thee seede of this woman, for the petition that she asked of the Lord: and they departed vnto their place.
Eli nĩarathimaga Elikana na mũtumia wake, akoiga atĩrĩ, “Jehova arokũhe ciana na mũndũ-wa-nja ũyũ icooke ithenya rĩa mwana ũyũ aahooete, na agĩcooka kũmũheana harĩ Jehova.” Nao magacooka makainũka kwao mũciĩ.
21 And the Lord visited Hannah, so that she conceiued, and bare three sonnes, and two daughters. And the childe Samuel grewe before the Lord.
Nake Jehova akĩiguĩra Hana tha; akĩgĩa nda agĩciara aanake atatũ na airĩtu eerĩ. Nake mwana ũcio ti Samũeli agĩkũrĩra hau mbere ya Jehova.
22 So Eli was very olde, and heard all that his sonnes did vnto all Israel, and howe they laye with the women that assembled at the doore of the tabernacle of the Congregation.
Na rĩrĩ, Eli aarĩ mũkũrũ mũno, na nĩaiguaga maũndũ mothe marĩa ariũ ake meekaga Isiraeli guothe, na ũrĩa maakomaga na andũ-a-nja arĩa maatungataga itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
23 And hee saide vnto them, Why doe ye such things? for of all this people I heare euill reportes of you.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga mwĩke maũndũ ta maya? Nĩndĩraigua kuuma kũrĩ andũ othe ũhoro wa ciĩko ici cianyu cia waganu.
24 Do no more, my sonnes, for it is no good report that I heare, which is, that ye make the Lords people to trespasse.
Aca, ariũ akwa; ũhoro ũrĩa ndĩraigua ũkĩhunja gatagatĩ ka andũ a Jehova ti mwega.
25 If one man sinne against another, the Iudge shall iudge it: but if a man sinne against the Lord, who will pleade for him? Notwithstanding they obeyed not the voyce of their father, because the Lord would slay them.
Mũndũ angĩhĩria mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ-rĩ, Ngai no amateithũrane; no mũndũ angĩhĩria Jehova-rĩ, nũũ ũngĩmũthaithanĩrĩra?” No rĩrĩ, aanake ake matiigana kũigua magĩkaanio nĩ ithe wao, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩatuĩte nĩekũmooraga.
26 (Nowe the childe Samuel profited and grewe, and was in fauour both with the Lord and also with men)
Nake mwana ũcio ti Samũeli agĩkũra, akĩnenehaga, akĩendagwo nĩ Jehova o na andũ.
27 And there came a man of God vnto Eli, and said vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Did not I plainely appeare vnto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaohs house?
Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ wa Ngai nĩokire kũrĩ Eli, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga ũũ: ‘Githĩ niĩ ndieguũrĩirie nyũmba ya thoguo rĩrĩa maarĩ Misiri watho-inĩ wa Firaũni?
28 And I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my Priest, to offer vpon mine altar, and to burne incense, and to weare an Ephod before me, and I gaue vnto the house of thy father all the offrings made by fire of the children of Israel.
Ndathuurire thoguo kuuma mĩhĩrĩga-inĩ yothe ya Isiraeli atuĩke mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai wakwa, aambatage kĩgongona-inĩ gĩakwa, na acinage ũbumba, na ehumbage ebodi arĩ mbere yakwa. Ningĩ nĩndaheire nyũmba ya thoguo indo iria ciothe irutagwo nĩ andũ a Isiraeli cia maruta ma gũcinwo na mwaki.
29 Wherefore haue you kicked against my sacrifice and mine offering, which I commanded in my Tabernacle, and honourest thy children aboue mee, to make your selues fatte of the first fruites of all the offerings of Israel my people?
Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte mũnyarare igongona rĩakwa na iruta, iria ndaathanire irutagwo irĩ cia gĩikaro gĩakwa? Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte ũtĩĩe ariũ aku kũngĩra, mwĩnoragie na icunjĩ iria njega cia iruta o rĩothe rĩrĩa ndutagĩrwo nĩ andũ akwa a Isiraeli?’
30 Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I saide, that thine house and the house of thy father should walke before mee for euer: but nowe the Lord saith, It shall not be so: for them that honour me, I will honour, and they that despise me, shall be despised.
“Tondũ wa ũguo-rĩ, Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, oigĩte atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩnderanĩire atĩ nyũmba yaku na nyũmba ya thoguo nĩigũtũũra indungatagĩra nginya tene.’ No rĩu Jehova oigĩte atĩrĩ, ‘Ũndũ ũcio ũrondaihĩrĩria! Arĩa mandĩĩte nĩndĩrĩmatĩĩaga, no arĩa maamenete nĩmarĩmenagwo.
31 Beholde, the dayes come, that I will cut off thine arme, and the arme of thy fathers house, that there shall not be an olde man in thine house.
Hĩndĩ nĩĩroka rĩrĩa ngaaniina hinya waku na niine hinya wa andũ a nyũmba ya thoguo, nĩgeetha gũtikanakorwo na mũndũ mũkũrũ thĩinĩ wa nyũmba yaku,
32 And thou shalt see thine enemie in the habitation of the Lord in all thinges wherewith God shall blesse Israel, and there shall not be an olde man in thine house for euer.
nawe nĩũkona mĩnyamaro gĩikaro-inĩ gĩakwa. O na gũtuĩka ũndũ mwega nĩũgeekwo Isiraeli, thĩinĩ wa nyũmba yaku gũtirĩ hĩndĩ gũgaakorwo mũndũ mũkũrũ.
33 Neuerthelesse, I will not destroy euery one of thine from mine altar, to make thine eyes to faile, and to make thine heart sorowfull: and all ye multitude of thine house shall die when they be men.
O mũndũ waku ũrĩa itakeheria kĩgongona-inĩ gĩakwa-rĩ, agaatigio no geetha agũtue mũtumumu na maithori, na aiguithagie ngoro yaku kĩeha, nacio njiaro ciaku ciothe irĩkuuaga o rĩrĩa ciatuĩka andũ agima.
34 And this shalbe a signe vnto thee, that shall come vpon thy two sonnes Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die both.
“‘Naguo ũndũ ũrĩa ũkũhaana kũrĩ ariũ aku eerĩ, Hofini na Finehasi, ũgaatuĩka kĩmenyithia kũrĩ wee na ariũ aku, o eerĩ magaakua mũthenya ũmwe.
35 And I will stirre me vp a faithfull Priest, that shall do according to mine heart and according to my minde: and I wil build him a sure house, and he shall walke before mine Anointed for euer.
Na niĩ nĩngethuurĩra mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai mwĩhokeku, ũrĩa ũgeekaga kũringana na ũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ ngoro-inĩ na meciiria-inĩ makwa. Nĩngahaanda nyũmba yake ĩtũũre ĩrũmĩte, nake nĩagatungataga mbere ya ũrĩa wakwa mũitĩrĩrie maguta hĩndĩ ciothe.
36 And all that are left in thine house, shall come and bowe downe to him for a piece of siluer and a morsell of bread, and shall say, Appoint me, I pray thee, to one of the priestes offices, that I may eate a morsell of bread.
Ningĩ mũndũ wothe ũrĩa ũgaatigara wa nyũmba yaku, nĩagooka amũinamĩrĩre nĩ ũndũ wa gĩcunjĩ kĩa betha na kenyũ komũ ka mũgate, amũthaithe amwĩre atĩrĩ, “Ta he wĩra ũmwe wa ũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩguo nyonage gĩa kũrĩa.”’”
