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:

Ary nisy lehilahy Efraimita anankiray tany Ramataima-zofima any amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima, Elkana no anarany zanak’ i Jerohama, zanak’ i Eliho, zanak’ i Toho, zanak’ i Zofa.

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.

Ary namporafy izy, Hana no anaran’ ny vadiny anankiray, ary Penina no anaran’ ny anankiray; ary Penina nanan-janaka, fa Hana kosa tsy mba nanana.

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.

Ary ralehilahy niakatra isan-taona niala tamin’ ny tanànany hivavaka sy hamono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, tao Silo. Ary tao izy mirahalahy, zanak’ i Ely, dia Hofinia sy Finehasa, mpisoron’ i Jehovah.

4 And on a day, when Elkanah sacrificed, he gaue to Peninnah his wife and to all her sonnes and daughters portions,

Ary tamin’ ny andro namonoan’ i Elkana zavatra hatao fanatitra dia samy nomeny anjara iray avy Penina vadiny sy ny zananilahy ary ny zananivavy rehetra.

5 But vnto Hannah he gaue a worthy portion: for he loued Hannah, and the Lord had made her barren.

Fa Hana kosa nomeny anjaran-droa, satria izy no tiany, nefa nataon’ i Jehovah momba.

6 And her aduersarie vexed her sore, forasmuch as she vpbraided her, because the Lord had made her barren.

Ary ny rafiny dia nanorisory azy mba hampalahelo azy mafy noho ny nanaovan’ i Jehovah azy momba.

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.

Ary izany no fanaon’ i Elkana isan-taona, raha niakatra ho any an-tranon’ i Jehovah Hana, ary izany koa no nanorisoren’ ny rafiny azy, koa nitomany izy sady tsy nety nihinan-kanina.

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?

Fa Elkana vadiny nanao taminy hoe: Ry Hana, nahoana no mitomany ianao? ary nahoana no tsy mety mihinan-kanina ianao? ary nahoana no malahelo fo ianao? Tsy tsara lavitra aminao mihoatra noho ny zanaka folo mirahalahy va aho?

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)

Ary rehefa nihinana sy nisotro tao Silo izy, dia nitsangana Hana. Ary Ely mpisorona nipetraka tamin’ ny sezany teo anilan’ ny tolam-baravaran’ ny tempolin’ i Jehovah.

10 And she was troubled in her minde, and prayed vnto the Lord, and wept sore:

Ary Hana dia nalahelo fanahy indrindra, ka nivavaka tamin’ i Jehovah izy sady nitomany dia nitomany.

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.

Ary nivoady izy ka nanao hoe: Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, raha mba hitsinjo tokoa ny alahelon’ ny ankizivavinao Hianao ka hahatsiaro ahy ary tsy hanadino ny ankizivavinao, fa hanome ahy zazalahy, dia homeko ho an’ i Jehovah kosa izy amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainany, ka tsy hokasihin-kareza ny lohany.

12 And as she continued praying before the Lord, Eli marked her mouth.

Ary raha mbola naharitra nivavaka teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah izy, dia nodinihin’ i Ely ny vavany.

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.

Fa niteny anakampo Hana, ka ny molony ihany no nihetsiketsika, fa ny feony tsy re akory; ka dia nataon’ i Ely fa mamo izy.

14 And Eli sayde vnto her, Howe long wilt thou be drunken? Put away thy drunkennesse from thee.

Dia hoy Ely taminy: Mandrapahoviana no ho mamo ianao? Esory aminao ny divainao.

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.

Dia namaly Hana ka nanao hoe: Tsia, tompoko; vehivavy malahelo fanahy aho, fa tsy nisotro divay na toaka tsy akory, fa mamoaka ny ato am-poko eto anatrehan’ i Jehovah aho.

16 Count not thine handmaide for a wicked woman: for of the abundance of my complaint and my griefe haue I spoken hitherto.

Aza mba atao ho vehivavy tena ratsy fanahy ny ankizivavinao; fa ny haben’ ny fahoriako sy ny alaheloko no nitenenako mandraka ankehitriny.

17 Then Eli answered, and sayd, Go in peace, and the God of Israel graunt thy petition that thou hast asked of him.

Dia namaly Ely ka nanao hoe: Mandehana soa aman-tsara; ary homen’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely anao anie izay nangatahinao taminy.

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.

Ary hoy izy: Aoka hahita fitia eo imasonao ny ankizivavinao. Dia lasa nandeha ravehivavy, ary nihinana izy ka tsy nalahelo tarehy intsony.

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.

Ary nifoha maraina koa izy ireo ka nivavaka teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, dia lasa nody ka tonga tao an-tranony tany Rama; ary Elkana nahalala an’ i Hana vadiny, ary Jehovah nahatsiaro azy.

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.

Ary tamin’ ny fahatanterahan’ ny andro dia nanan’ anaka Hana ka nitera-dahy, ary ny anarany nataony hoe Samoela, fa hoy izy: Tamin’ i Jehovah no nangatahako azy.

21 So the man Elkanah and all his house went vp to offer vnto the Lord the yeerely sacrifice, and his vowe:

Ary ralehilahy Elkana sy ny ankohonany rehetra niakatra hamono zavatra mba hanaterany ny fanatitra fanao isan-taona ho an’ i Jehovah sy ny fanalam-boadiny.

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.

Fa Hana kosa tsy mba niakatra; fa hoy izy tamin’ ny vadiny: Aoka aloha mandra-panoty ny zaza, fa amin’ izay aho vao hitondra azy hiseho eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, ka hitoetra ao mandrakizay izy.

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.

Ary hoy Elkana vadiny taminy: Ataovy ary izay tianao; mitoera ihany mandra-panotinao azy; ary hefain’ i Jehovah anie ny teniny. Dia nitoetra ravehivavy ka nampinono ny zanany mandra-panotiny azy.

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.

Ary nony efa maoty ny zaza, vao nentiny niakatra niaraka taminy izy mbamin’ ny vantotr’ ombilahy telo sy koba iray efaha ary divay iray tavoara, ka nentiny ho ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah tao Silo izy; ary mbola kely ny zaza.

25 And they slewe a bullocke, and brought the childe to Eli.

Dia novonoiny ny vantotr’ ombilahy iray, ary nentiny ho ao amin’ i Ely ny zaza.

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.

Ary hoy Hana: Tompoko ô, raha velona koa ny ainao, tompoko, izaho ilay vehivavy nitsangana teto anilanao ka nivavaka tamin’ i Jehovah.

27 I prayed for this childe, and the Lord hath giuen me my desire which I asked of him.

Ny hahazoako ity zazalahy ity no nivavahako; dia nomen’ i Jehovah ahy izay nangatahiko taminy.

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.

Koa atolotro ho an’ i Jehovah kosa izy: eny, amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainany dia voatolotra ho an’ i Jehovah izy. Dia nivavaka tamin’ i Jehovah izy.
