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.
Na tera tetahi tangata no Ramataima Topimi, no te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima, ko Erekana tona ingoa, he Eparati, he tama na Iorohama, tama a Erihu, tama a Tohu, tama a Tupu:
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.
A tokorua ana wahine; ko Hana te ingoa o tetahi, ko Penina te ingoa o tetahi: na he tamariki a Penina, kahore ia he tamariki a Hana.
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.
A haere atu ai tenei tangata i ia tau, i ia tau, i tona pa ki te koropiko, ki te patu whakahere ki a Ihowa o nga mano, ki Hiro. A i reira nga tama tokorua a Eri, a Hoponi raua ko Pinehaha, nga tohunga a Ihowa.
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;
A, ka tae ki te ra i patu whakahere ai a Erekana, na, hoatu ana e ia etahi mea ki a Penina, ki tana wahine, ki ana tama katoa ano, ratou ko ana tamahine:
5 but unto Hannah he gave a double portion; for he loved Hannah, but the LORD had shut up her womb.
Ki tana wahine ia, ki a Hana, e rua nga wahi i hoatu e ia; i aroha hoki ia ki a Hana; otiia kua oti tona kopu te tutaki e Ihowa.
6 And her rival vexed her sore, to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb.
A nui atu te whakatoia a tona hoa tauwhainga ki a ia, a mamae noa ia, no te mea kua tutakina tona kopu e Ihowa.
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.
Pena tonu ta te tane mahi, i ia tau, i ia tau, i nga haerenga o tenei ki runga, ki te whare o Ihowa, a pena tonu ta tera whakatoi i tenei; a tangi noa ia, kihai hoki i kai.
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?'
Na ka mea tana tahu, e Erekana ki a ia, E Hana, he aha koe i tangi ai? he aha hoki koe te kai ia? he aha ano i pouri ai tou ngakau? ki tau e kore ianei e nui atu toku pai i to nga tama kotahi tekau?
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;
Heoi ka whakatika a Hana i muri i a ratou i kai ai i Hiro, i inu ai hoki. Na ko Eri, ko te tohunga, i runga i tona nohoanga noho ai, i te pou o te kuwaha o te temepara o Ihowa.
10 and she was in bitterness of soul — and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore.
A i tino pouri te ngakau o tera, ka inoi ki a Ihowa, a nui atu tana tangi.
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.'
Na ka puaki tana ki taurangi, i mea ia, E Ihowa o nga mano, ki te ata titiro mai koe ki te pouri o tau pononga wahine, a ka mahara ki ahau, a e kore e wareware ki tau pononga, engari ka homai i tetahi tama ki tau pononga, na, ka hoatu ia e ahau ki a Ihowa i nga ra katoa e ora ai ia; e kore ano he heu e heua ki tona matenga.
12 And it came to pass, as she prayed long before the LORD, that Eli watched her mouth.
Na, i te mea e inoi tonu ana ia i te aroaro o Ihowa, ka titiro a Eri ki tona waha.
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.
Na ko Hana, e korero ana ia i roto i tona ngakau; ko ona ngutu kau e komeme ana, kihai ia tona reo i rangona: na reira i mea ai a Eri e haurangi ana ia.
14 And Eli said unto her: 'How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.'
Na ka mea a Eri ki a ia, Ka tae te roa o tou haurangi! Whakarerea atu tau waina.
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.
Na ka utua e Hana, ka mea, Kahore, e toku ariki; he wahine ngakau pouri ahau: kahore ahau i inu i te waina, i te wai whakahaurangi ranei; engari e ringihia ana e ahau toku ngakau ki te aroaro o Ihowa.
16 Count not thy handmaid for a wicked woman: for out of the abundance of my complaint and my vexation have I spoken hitherto.'
Kaua tau pononga e kiia he tamahine na Periara: na te nui hoki o toku mamae, o toku pouri, enei korero aku.
17 Then Eli answered and said: 'Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant thy petition that thou hast asked of Him.'
Katahi ka utua e Eri, ka mea ia, Haere marie: a ma te Atua o Iharaira e homai tau mea i inoi ai koe ki a ia.
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.
Na ka mea tera, Kia manakohia tau pononga e koe. Katahi taua wahine ka haere, ka kai, a mutu ake te pouri o tona mata.
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.
Na ka maranga wawe ratou i te ata, a ka koropiko ki te aroaro o Ihowa, a hoki ana, haere ana ki to ratou whare i Rama. Na ka mohio a Erekana ki a Hana, ki tana wahine; i mahara ano a Ihowa ki a ia.
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.'
Na, ka taka nga ra, ka hapu a Hana, a ka whanau he tama; a huaina iho e ia tona ingoa ko Hamuera, i mea hoki, No te mea i inoia ia e ahau i a Ihowa.
21 And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer unto the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.
Na ka haere taua tangata a Erekana me tona whare katoa ki runga, ki te patu i te whakahere o te tau ki a Ihowa, me tana ki taurangi hoki.
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.'
Ko Hana ia kihai i haere; i mea hoki ki tana tahu, Kia whakamutua ra ano te kai u a te tamaiti, ko reira ahau kawe atu ai i a ia, kia puta ai ia ki te aroaro o Ihowa, mo tona noho tonu atu ki reira.
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.
Na ka mea a Erekana tana tahu ki a ia, Meatia ta tou whakaaro e whakapai ai; e noho, kia whakamutua ra ano tana kai u; otiia kia mau te kupu a Ihowa. Heoi, noho ana taua wahine, whakangotea ana tana tama, a mutu noa tana kai u.
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.
Na, i te mutunga o tana kai u, ka mauria ia e ia, me etahi puru e toru, kotahi hoki te epa paraoa, me te pounamu waina, kawea ana ia e ia ki te whare o Ihowa, ki Hiro: he tamariki rawa hoki taua tamaiti.
25 And when the bullock was slain, the child was brought to Eli.
Na patua ana e ratou te puru, a kawea ana te tamaiti ki a Eri.
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.
A ka mea ia, E toku ariki, kia ora tou wairua; e toku ariki, ko ahau te wahine i tu i tou taha i konei nei, i inoi ra ki a Ihowa.
27 For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath granted me my petition which I asked of Him;
Ko tenei tamaiti taku i inoi ai; a homai ana e Ihowa ki ahau taku mea i inoi ai ahau ki a ia:
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.
Na reira kua tukua atu nei ia e ahau ki a Ihowa; he mea tuku ia ki a Ihowa i nga ra katoa e ora ai ia. A koropiko ana te tamaiti ki a Ihowa ki reira.
