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.
Mgbe ahụ Hana kpere ekpere sị: “Obi m na-aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼime Onyenwe anyị; nʼime Onyenwe anyị ka e buliri mpi m elu. Ọnụ m na-anya isi megide ndị iro m, nʼihi na-enwere m mmasị na nzọpụta gị.
2 There is none holy as the Lord: yea, there is none besides thee, and there is no god like our God.
“O nweghị onye dị nsọ dịka Onyenwe anyị; o nweghị onye dị karịa gị, o nweghị nkume ọzọ yiri Chineke anyị.
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.
“Anọgidela na-ekwu okwu site na mpako, ekwekwala ka ọnụ gị kwupụta okwu nganga. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke maara ihe niile, ya bụ onye na-anwale ọrụ niile.
4 The bow and the mightie men are broken, and the weake haue girded themselues with strength.
“Ụta ndị na-ebu agha agbajiela ma ndị ahụ dara mba ka e nyere ike.
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.
Ndị na-eriju afọ e meela onwe ha ndị ọrụ ngo maka nri, ma ndị na-adịghị eriju afọ na mbụ aghọọla ndị agụụ adịghị agụkwa. Nwanyị aga amụtala ụmụ asaa ma nwanyị ahụ mụrụ ọtụtụ ụmụ adịghị amụtakwa.
“Onyenwe anyị na-eweta ọnwụ, ya na-emekwa ka a dị ndụ, ọ bụ ya na-eme ka mmadụ daa nʼụra ọnwụ, na-emekwa ka ha dị ndụ ọzọ. (Sheol h7585)
7 The Lord maketh poore and maketh rich: bringeth lowe, and exalteth.
Onyenwe anyị na-ezite ụbịam na akụnụba; ọ na-eweda nʼala, ma na-ebulikwa elu.
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.
Ọ na-esite na ntụ welite onye ogbenye na-ebuli ndị mkpa na-akpa site nʼikpo ntụ. Ọ na-eme ka ha soro ụmụ eze nọdụ, na-emekwa ka ha keta ocheeze nsọpụrụ. “Nʼihi na ntọala ụwa bụ nke Onyenwe anyị nʼelu ya ka ọ dọkwasịrị ụwa.
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.
Ọ ga-echebe ụkwụ ndị nsọ ya ma ndị ajọ omume ka ọ ga-eme ka ha dere duu nʼime ọchịchịrị. “Ọ bụghị site nʼịdị ike ka mmeri si abịa.
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.
Ndị ahụ na-ebuli onwe ha imegide Onyenwe anyị ka a ga-etipịa. Onye kachasị ihe niile elu ga-ebigbọ site nʼeluigwe megide ha. Onyenwe anyị ga-ekpe nsọtụ niile nke ụwa ikpe. “Ọ ga-enye eze ya ike bulikwaa ịdị ike nke onye ya e tere mmanụ.”
11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house, and the childe did minister vnto the Lord before Eli the Priest.
Mgbe ahụ, Elkena na Hana laghachiri Rema, ma ha hapụrụ Samuel nʼebe ahụ. Nwata ahụ ghọrọ onyeozi Onyenwe anyị, nʼihi na ọ nọ na-enyere Elayị onye nchụaja aka.
12 Now the sonnes of Eli were wicked men, and knewe not the Lord.
Ụmụ Elayị bụ ndị omume ha jọgburu onwe ya; ha na-elelị Onyenwe anyị anya.
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,
Dịka mmeso ndị nchụaja nʼebe ndị mmadụ si dị: mgbe onye ọbụla bịara ịchụ aja, onyeozi onye nchụaja na-abịa mgbe a na-esi anụ, jiri ndụdụ nwere eze atọ nʼaka ya.
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.
Ọ na-adụnye ya nʼime efere anụ maọbụ ite, maọbụ iko e ji esi anụ. Ihe ọbụla ndụdụ ahụ dụpụtara ka onye nchụaja na-ewere. Otu a ka ha si emeso ndị Izrel niile na-abịa na Shaịlo.
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.
Mgbe ụfọdụ, tupu e suree abụba anụ nʼebe ịchụ aja, ndị ozi onye nchụaja na-abịa gwa onye wetara anụ ịchụ aja sị ya, “Nye onye nchụaja anụ ndụ nke ọ ga-ahụ nʼọkụ, nʼihi na ọ chọghị iri anụ e siri esi, kama anụ ndụ ka ọ chọrọ.”
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.
Ọ bụrụ na onye ji anụ ahụ bịa ịchụ aja agwa onyeozi ahụ okwu sị, “Chere ka anyị buru ụzọ suo abụba ndị a ọkụ tupu i were ihe ị chọrọ,” onyeozi ahụ na-aza sị, “Nye m anụ ahụ ugbu a, ọ bụrụ na i nyeghị m ya aga m eji ike were ya.”
17 Therefore the sinne of the yong men was very great before the Lord: for men abhorred the offering of the Lord.
Mmehie ụmụ okorobịa ndị a na-eme dị ukwuu nʼanya Onyenwe anyị, nʼihi na ha na-eleda onyinye a na-ewetara Onyenwe anyị anya.
18 Now Samuel being a yong childe ministred before the Lord, girded with a linen Ephod.
Nʼoge a, Samuel na-agakwa ozi ya nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Ọ bụ ezie na ọ bụ naanị nwantakịrị, ọ na-eyi akwa ọcha efọọd dịka ndị nchụaja.
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.
Afọ ọbụla, nne ya na-akwara ya uwe mwụda, nke ọ na-ewetara ya mgbe ya na di ya bịara ịchụ aja.
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.
Tupu ha alaa, Elayị na-agọzi Elkena na Hana sị, “Ka Onyenwe anyị nye gị ụmụ ọzọ, ndị ga-anọchi anya onye a ị rịọrọ maka ya, nke i nyeghachiri Onyenwe anyị.”
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.
Onyenwe anyị gosiri Hana amara. Ọ tụrụ ime mụta ụmụ ndị ikom atọ, na ụmụ ndị inyom abụọ. Ma Samuel tokwara nʼije ozi ya nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
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.
Nʼoge a, Elayị abụrụla nnọọ agadi. Ọ nọkwa na-anụ ihe ọjọọ niile ụmụ ya ndị ikom na-eme ndị Izrel niile, ya na otu ha si edinakwuru ụmụ nwanyị na-eje ozi nʼọnụ ụzọ ebe ịchụ aja ụlọ nzute.
23 And hee saide vnto them, Why doe ye such things? for of all this people I heare euill reportes of you.
Ya mere, Elayị gwara ụmụ ya sị, “Anụla m site nʼọnụ ndị Onyenwe anyị, banyere ihe ọjọọ niile dị iche iche unu na-eme. Gịnị mere unu ji na-eme ihe ọjọọ dị otu a?
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.
Ọ bụghị akụkọ ọma ka m na-anụ site nʼọnụ ndị Onyenwe anyị banyere unu.
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.
Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ emehie megide mmadụ, Chineke nwere ike gbooro ya ọgụ. Ma ọ bụrụ na mmadụ emehie megide Onyenwe anyị, onye ga-egboro ya ọgụ?” Ma ụmụ ya ndị ikom egeghị nna ha ntị, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị na-akwado ịla ha nʼiyi.
26 (Nowe the childe Samuel profited and grewe, and was in fauour both with the Lord and also with men)
Nwata ahụ bụ Samuel na-eto, na-agba dimkpa, bụrụkwa onye ihe ya dị Onyenwe anyị na mmadụ mma.
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?
Otu onye nke Chineke bịara gwa Elayị okwu sị ya, “Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Ọ bụ na m ezipụtaghị ike m nʼụzọ pụtara ihe mgbe nna nna gị ha bụ ohu nʼala Ijipt nʼokpuru Fero?
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.
Ahọpụtara m nna nna unu ochie site nʼetiti ebo niile nke Izrel mee ya ka ọ bụrụ onye nchụaja m, ka ọ chụọ aja nʼebe ịchụ aja m, isure ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ, na iyi uwe efọọd ndị nchụaja nʼihu m. Enyere m ezinaụlọ nna nna gị onyinye niile Izrel ji chụọ aja nsure ọkụ.
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?
Gịnị mere unu ji na-elelị aja a na-achụrụ m, na onyinye a na-ewetara m nʼusoro dịka m si nye ya nʼiwu anya? Gịnị mere i ji na-asọpụrụ ụmụ gị karịa m, ime onwe unu ka unu gbaa abụba site nʼidebere onwe unu akụkụ kachasị mma nke onyinye niile ụmụ Izrel, ndị m, na-ewetara m.
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.
“Nʼihi ya, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel, kwupụtara, sị, ‘Ekwere m nkwa na ndị ezinaụlọ gị na nke nna gị ga-eje ozi nʼihu m ruo mgbe ebighị ebi,’ ma ugbu a, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya, ‘Ọ gaghị adịkwa otu a nʼebe m nọ! Nʼihi na ndị na-asọpụrụ m ka m ga-asọpụrụ, ma ndị niile na-eleda m anya, ka a ga-akpọ ihe efu.
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.
Oge na-abịa mgbe m ga-ebipụ ike gị na ike ezinaụlọ nna gị, wezuga ha ka nwoke ọbụla nʼezinaụlọ gị hapụ ito ghọọ agadi.
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.
Ị ga-ahụ mkpagbu nʼebe obibi m; a ga-emere Izrel ihe ọma nke ga-eme ka i nwee anya ụfụ, ma ọ dịghị onye ga-eme agadi nʼezinaụlọ gị.
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.
Onye ọbụla nʼime unu nke m na-ebipụghị site nʼebe ịchụ aja m ga-adị ndụ naanị nʼọnọdụ anya mmiri akwa nke ga-ekpuchi ya anya, na iru ụjụ nke obi. Ụmụ ụmụ gị niile ga-anwụ tupu ha eruo agadi.
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.
“‘Ihe ga-adakwasị ụmụ gị ndị ikom, bụ Hofni na Finehaz, ga-abụrụ gị ihe ama. Ha abụọ ga-anwụ nʼotu ụbọchị.
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.
Aga m akpọlite nye onwe m, onye nchụaja kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, onye ga-eme ihe dị m nʼuche na nʼobi. Aga m eme ka ezinaụlọ ya guzosie ike. O ga-eje ozi nʼihu Onye m e tere mmanụ oge niile.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị niile fọdụrụ nʼezinaụlọ gị ga-abịa kpọọ isiala nye ya, rịọọ ya ego na ihe oriri. Ha ga-asị, “Biko, nyetụ m ọrụ m ga-arụ nʼetiti ndị nchụaja, ka m hụ ihe m ga-eri.”’”
