1 Samuel 1
1 NOW THERE was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim, of the hill-country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
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 wives: the name of the 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 up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice unto the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there priests unto 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 it came to pass upon a day, when Elkanah sacrificed, that he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her 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 unto Hannah he gave a double portion; for he loved Hannah, but the LORD had shut up her womb.
Fa Hana kosa nomeny anjaran-droa, satria izy no tiany, nefa nataon’ i Jehovah momba.
6 And her rival vexed her sore, to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb.
Ary ny rafiny dia nanorisory azy mba hampalahelo azy mafy noho ny nanaovan’ i Jehovah azy momba.
7 And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she vexed her; therefore she wept, and would not eat.
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 And Elkanah her husband said unto her: 'Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sons?'
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 up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk — now Eli the priest sat upon his seat by the door-post 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 in bitterness of soul — and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore.
Ary Hana dia nalahelo fanahy indrindra, ka nivavaka tamin’ i Jehovah izy sady nitomany dia nitomany.
11 And she vowed a vow, and said: 'O LORD of hosts, if Thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of Thy handmaid, and remember me, and not forget Thy handmaid, but wilt give unto Thy handmaid a man-child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon 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 it came to pass, as she prayed long before the LORD, that Eli watched her mouth.
Ary raha mbola naharitra nivavaka teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah izy, dia nodinihin’ i Ely ny vavany.
13 Now Hannah, she spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice could not be heard; therefore, Eli thought she had been 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 said unto her: 'How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.'
Dia hoy Ely taminy: Mandrapahoviana no ho mamo ianao? Esory aminao ny divainao.
15 And Hannah answered and said: 'No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit; I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I poured out my soul 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 thy handmaid for a wicked woman: for out of the abundance of my complaint and my vexation have 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 said: 'Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant 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 And she said: 'Let thy servant find favour in thy sight.' So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was 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 And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered 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 And it came to pass, when the time was come about, that Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she called his name Samuel: 'because I have 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 And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer unto the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.
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 up; for she said unto her husband: 'Until the child be weaned, when I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide for ever.'
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 said unto her: 'Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only the LORD establish His word.' So the woman tarried and gave her son suck, until she weaned 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 weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of meal, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the LORD in Shiloh; and the child was young.
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 when the bullock was slain, the child was brought 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 soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto 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 For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath granted me my petition which I asked of Him;
Ny hahazoako ity zazalahy ity no nivavahako; dia nomen’ i Jehovah ahy izay nangatahiko taminy.
28 therefore I also have lent him to the LORD; as long as he liveth he is lent to 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.
