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:
Kati na engumba Ramataimi-Tsofimi ya etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi, ezalaki na mobali moko; kombo na ye ezalaki « Elikana. » Azalaki mwana mobali ya Yeroami, mwana mobali ya Eliwu, mwana mobali ya Towu, mwana mobali ya Tsufi, moto ya Efrayimi.
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.
Elikana azalaki na basi mibale: moko, kombo na ye ezalaki « Penina; » mosusu, « Ana. » Penina azalaki na bana, kasi Ana azalaki na mwana te.
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.
Mibu nyonso, Elikana azalaki kolongwa na engumba na ye mpo na kokende kogumbamela Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, mpe kobonzela Ye mbeka na Silo epai wapi Ofini mpe Fineasi, bana mibali mibale ya Eli, bazalaki Banganga-Nzambe.
4 And on a day, when Elkanah sacrificed, he gaue to Peninnah his wife and to all her sonnes and daughters portions,
Bongo, soki mokolo na ye ya kobonza mbeka ekoki, Elikana azalaki na momesano ya kopesa biteni ya mbeka na ye epai ya Penina, mwasi na ye, mpe epai ya bana nyonso ya Penina, ya mibali mpe ya basi.
5 But vnto Hannah he gaue a worthy portion: for he loued Hannah, and the Lord had made her barren.
Kasi epai ya Ana, azalaki kopesa biteni yango mbala mibale, pamba te azalaki kolinga ye, atako Yawe akangaki ye mabota.
6 And her aduersarie vexed her sore, forasmuch as she vpbraided her, because the Lord had made her barren.
Nzokande, lokola Yawe akangaki ye mabota, mbanda na ye azalaki kaka kotiola ye tango nyonso mpo ete atomboka.
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.
Elikana azalaki kosala bongo mibu nyonso. Mpe tango nyonso Ana azalaki kokende na Ndako ya Yawe, mbanda na ye, Penina, azalaki kotika te kotiola ye. Bongo, lokola Ana azalaki kolela mpe azalaki kolia te,
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?
Elikana, mobali na ye, atunaki ye: « Ana, mpo na nini ozali kolela? Mpo na nini ozali kolia te? Mpo na nini ozali na mawa boye? Boni, ngai nazali na motuya te mpo na yo koleka bana mibali zomi? »
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)
Mokolo moko, sima na bango kolia mpe komela na Silo, Ana atelemaki mpe akendeki na Ndako ya Yawe. Ezalaki na ngonga oyo Nganga-Nzambe Eli avandaki na kiti, pembeni ya ekuke ya Ndako ya Yawe.
10 And she was troubled in her minde, and prayed vnto the Lord, and wept sore:
Wana Ana azalaki na pasi na motema, abondelaki Yawe na kolela mingi.
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.
Bongo apesaki elaka, alobaki: « Eh Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, soki kaka otali pasi ya mwasi mowumbu na Yo, soki okanisi ngai mpe obosani te mwasi mosali na Yo, kasi opesi ye mwana mobali, nakokaba ye epai na Yawe mpo na mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na ye, mpe bakotikala kokata suki ya moto na ye te. »
12 And as she continued praying before the Lord, Eli marked her mouth.
Lokola azalaki kobenda libondeli na ye molayi liboso ya Yawe, Eli azalaki kotala malamu-malamu monoko na ye.
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.
Mpe wana Ana azalaki kobondela na se ya motema, bibebu na ye ezalaki koningana, kasi mongongo ezalaki koyokana te. Mpe Eli akanisaki ete Ana alangwe masanga.
14 And Eli sayde vnto her, Howe long wilt thou be drunken? Put away thy drunkennesse from thee.
Eli alobaki na Ana: — Kino tango nini okozala na milangwa? Longola milangwa na yo.
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 azongisaki: — Te, nkolo na ngai! Nalangwe te, nameli ata vino to masanga makasi te. Kasi nazali na mawa mingi; nazalaki kosopa motema na ngai epai na Yawe.
16 Count not thine handmaide for a wicked woman: for of the abundance of my complaint and my griefe haue I spoken hitherto.
Kozwa mwasi mowumbu na yo te lokola mwasi ya mobulu, pamba te ezali mawa ya motema na ngai mpe monene ya pasi na ngai nde etindi ngai kobondela kino tango oyo.
17 Then Eli answered, and sayd, Go in peace, and the God of Israel graunt thy petition that thou hast asked of him.
Eli azongisaki: — Kende na kimia, mpe tika ete Nzambe ya Isalaele apesa yo, oyo osengi Ye.
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 alobaki: — Tika ete mwasi mowumbu na yo azwa ngolu na miso na yo. Boye Ana azongaki, aliaki mpe elongi na ye ezalaki lisusu ya mawa te.
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.
Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, Elikana mpe libota na ye balamukaki mpe bagumbamelaki Yawe; sima na yango, bazongaki epai na bango, na Rama. Elikana asangisaki nzoto na Ana, mwasi na ye, mpe Yawe akaniselaki Ana.
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.
Boye Ana akomaki na zemi mpe, sima na mwa mikolo, abotaki mwana mobali. Apesaki ye kombo « Samuele, » pamba te alobaki: « Mpo ete nasengaki ye epai na Yawe. »
21 So the man Elkanah and all his house went vp to offer vnto the Lord the yeerely sacrifice, and his vowe:
Na mobu oyo elandaki, Elikana, elongo na libota na ye mobimba, akendeki lisusu kobonzela Yawe mbeka ya mibu nyonso mpe kokokisa elaka na ye.
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.
Kasi lokola Ana akendeki te, alobaki na mobali na ye: — Soki nakati mwana komela mabele nde nakomema ye mpo na kotalisa ye epai na Yawe; bongo akovanda kuna mpo na libela.
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.
Elikana, mobali na ye, alobaki: — Oyo omoni ete ezali malamu, sala yango. Vanda awa kino okokata mwana komela mabele. Tika ete Yawe asunga yo mpo ete okokisa kaka elaka na yo. Boye Ana atikalaki na ndako, akobaki komelisa mwana mabele kino tango akataki ye komela.
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.
Sima na ye kokata mwana komela mabele, Ana akamataki ye, ndenge kaka azalaki nanu moke bongo; amemaki ye na Ndako ya Yawe, na Silo, elongo na ngombe ya mobali ya mibu misato, bakilo zomi ya farine, mpe mbeki moko ya vino.
25 And they slewe a bullocke, and brought the childe to Eli.
Sima na bango koboma ngombe mpo na kobonza yango lokola mbeka, bamemaki mwana epai ya 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 alobaki na ye: — Limbisa ngai, nkolo na ngai; nazali mwasi oyo atelemaki awa pembeni na yo mpo na kobondela Yawe.
27 I prayed for this childe, and the Lord hath giuen me my desire which I asked of him.
Nazalaki kobondela mpo ete nazwa mwana oyo, mpe Yawe asilaki kopesa ngai oyo nasengaki Ye.
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.
Boye, ngai mpe nakabi ye sik’oyo epai na Yawe: bomoi na ye mobimba, akozala ya Yawe. Sima na yango, agumbamelaki Yawe na esika yango.
