< 1 Samuel 1 >

1 Now there was a certain man of Ramathaimzophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite:
Mayroong isang tao ng Romataim-Zofim, sa maburol na lupain ng Efraim; ang kanyang pangalan ay si Elkana na anak na lalaki ni Jeroham na anak na lalaki ni Elihu na anak na lalaki ni Tohu na anak na lalaki ni Zuf, isang Efrateo.
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.
Mayroon siyang dalawang asawa; ang pangalan ng unang asawa ay si Ana at ang pangalan ng pangalawa ay si Penina. Nagkaroon ng mga anak si Penina, ngunit hindi nagkaanak si Ana.
3 And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, were there.
Umaalis ang taong ito mula sa kanyang siyudad taon-taon upang sumamba at mag-alay kay Yahweh ng mga hukbo sa Shilo. Naroon ang dalawang anak na lalaki ni Eli, sina Hofni at Pinehas, na mga pari kay Yahweh.
4 And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:
Kapag dumarating ang araw para kay Elkana para mag-alay bawat taon, palagi niyang binibigyan ng mga bahagi ng karne si Penina na kanyang asawa at lahat ng kanyang anak na lalaki at babae.
5 But to Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb.
Ngunit para kay Ana binibigyan niya palagi ng dobleng bahagi si Ana, dahil minahal niya si Ana, kahit na isinara ni Yahweh ang kanyang sinapupunan.
6 And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb.
Lubos siyang ginalit ng kanyang karibal upang mainis siya, dahil isinara ni Yahweh ang kanyang sinapupunan.
7 And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.
Kaya taon-taon, kapag umaakyat siya sa bahay ni Yahweh kasama ang kanyang pamilya, palagi siyang ginagalit ng kanyang karibal. Kaya umiiyak na lang siya at hindi na kumakain.
8 Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weep you? and why eat you not? and why is your heart grieved? am not I better to you than ten sons?
Palaging sinasabi sa kanya ng kanyang asawa na si Elkana, “Ana, bakit ka umiiyak? Bakit hindi ka kumakain? Bakit malungkot ang iyong puso? Hindi ba ako mas mabuti sa iyo kaysa sampung anak na lalaki?”
9 So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat on a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD.
Sa isa sa mga pagkakataong ito, tumayo si Ana matapos silang kumain at uminom sa Shilo. Ngayon nakaupo si Eli na pari sa kanyang upuan sa tapat ng pintuan patungo sa bahay ni Yahweh.
10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD, and wept sore.
Labis ang kanyang pagdadalamhati; nanalangin siya kay Yahweh at umiyak nang matindi.
11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your handmaid, and remember me, and not forget your handmaid, but will give to your handmaid a man child, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come on his head.
Gumawa siya ng isang panata at sinabi niya, “Yahweh ng mga hukbo, kung titingin ka sa dalamhati ng iyong lingkod at iisipin ako, at huwag mong kalimutan ang iyong lingkod, ngunit bigyan mo ng anak na lalaki ang iyong lingkod, pagkatapos ibibigay ko ang buong buhay niya kay Yahweh, at walang labaha ang dadampi sa kanyang ulo.”
12 And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli marked her mouth.
Habang patuloy siyang nagdadasal sa harapan ni Yahweh, pinagmasdan ni Eli ang kanyang bibig.
13 Now Hannah, she spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.
Nangusap si Ana sa kanyang puso. Gumalaw ang kanyang mga labi, ngunit hindi narinig ang kanyang boses. Kaya inakala ni Eli na siya ay lasing.
14 And Eli said to her, How long will you be drunken? put away your wine from you.
Sinabi ni Eli sa kanya, “Gaano katagal kang magiging lasing? Itapon mo ang iyong alak.”
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 have poured out my soul before the LORD.
Sumagot si Ana, “Hindi, aking amo, ako ay isang babaeng nagdadalamhati ang kalooban. Hindi ako nakainom ng alak o matapang na inumin, ngunit ibinubuhos ko ang aking kaluluwa sa harapan ni Yahweh.”
16 Count not your handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken till now.
“Huwag mong ituring na ang iyong lingkod ay isang nakahihiyang babae; nagsasalita ako mula sa aking matinding pag-aalala at pagkagalit.”
17 Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant you your petition that you have asked of him.
Pagkatapos sumagot si Eli at sinabing, “Umalis ka ng mapayapa; ipagkaloob nawa ng Diyos ng Israel ang iyong kahilingan na iyong hiniling sa kanya.”
18 And she said, Let your handmaid find grace in your sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad.
Sinabi niya, “Hayaang makasumpong ng biyaya ang iyong lingkod sa iyong paningin.” Pagkatapos umalis ang babae at kumain; hindi na malungkot ang kanyang mukha.
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.
Sila'y bumangon nang maaga sa araw na iyon at sumamba sa harapan ni Yahweh, at pagkatapos bumalik sila sa kanilang bahay sa Ramah. Sinipingan ni Elkana si Ana na kanyang asawa, at inalala siya ni Yahweh.
20 Why it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bore a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the LORD.
Nang dumating ang panahon, nabuntis si Ana at nagsilang ng isang batang lalaki. Tinawag niya ang kanyang pangalan na Samuel, sinasabing, “Dahil hiningi ko siya mula kay Yahweh.”
21 And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.
Muli, umakyat sina Elkana at ang kanyang buong bahay upang maghandog ng taunang pag-aalay at tuparin ang kanyang panata.
22 But Hannah went not up; for she said to her husband, I will not go up until the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide for ever.
Ngunit hindi sumama si Ana; sinabi niya sa kanyang asawa, “Hindi ako sasama hanggang sa hindi na sumususo ang bata; pagkatapos dadalhin ko siya, upang maipakita siya sa harapan ni Yahweh at manirahan siya doon magpakailanman.”
23 And Elkanah her husband said to her, Do what seems you good; tarry until you have weaned him; only the LORD establish his word. So the woman stayed, and gave her son suck until she weaned him.
Sinabi ni Elkana na kanyang asawa sa kanya, “Gawin mo kung ano ang pasya mong mabuti sa iyo. Maghintay ka hanggang sa hindi mo na siya pinapasuso; pagtibayin lamang nawa ni Yahweh ang kanyang salita.” Kaya nanatili ang babae at pinasuso ang kanyang anak hanggang sa hindi na siya sumususo.
24 And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him to the house of the LORD in Shiloh: and the child was young.
Nang hindi na niya siya pinapasuso, isinama niya siya kasama ang tatlong taong gulang na toro, isang epa ng pagkain at isang bote ng alak, at dinala niya siya sa bahay ni Yahweh sa Shilo. Ngayon ang anak niya ay bata pa.
25 And they slew a bullock, and brought the child to Eli.
Pinatay nila ang toro, at dinala nila ang bata kay Eli.
26 And she said, Oh my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman that stood by you here, praying to the LORD.
Sinabi niya, “O aking panginoon! Habang buhay ka, aking panginoon, ako ang babaeng tumayo rito sa tabi mo na nananalangin kay Yahweh.
27 For this child I prayed; and the LORD has given me my petition which I asked of him:
Sapagkat ang batang ito ang aking ipinanalangin at ibinigay sa akin ni Yahweh ang aking kahilingan na aking hiniling sa kanya.
28 Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he lives he shall be lent to the LORD. And he worshipped the LORD there.
Ibinibigay ko siya kay Yahweh; habang nabubuhay siya ipapahiram ko siya kay Yahweh.” At sinamba ni Elkana at kanyang pamilya si Yahweh doon.
