< 1 Samuel 2 >

1 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart is glad in the Lord, my horn is exalted through the Lord: my mouth is enlarged over my enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.
Hannah el pre ac fahk: “LEUM GOD El nwakla insiuk ke engan; Nga arulana insewowo ke ma El orala. Nga isrun mwet lokoalok luk; Yohk engan luk ke sripen kasru lun God nu sik!
2 There is none holy like the Lord; for there is none beside thee; and there is not any rock like our God.
Wangin sie su mutal oana LEUM GOD; Wangin sie oana El, Wangin sie mwet lango oana God lasr.
3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogance come out of your mouth; for a God of knowledge is the Lord, and by him are actions weighed.
Nikmet sifil kaskas filang; Misla liki kaskas fulat lom. Tuh LEUM GOD El sie God su etu ma nukewa, Ac El nununku orekma nukewa lun mwet uh.
4 The bow of the mighty is broken, and those that stumbled are girded with strength.
Mwe pisr nutin mwet mweun ku, kaptelik, A mwet munas kapkapak ku lalos.
5 They that were full hire themselves out for bread; and they that were hungry cease [from labor]: while the barren hath born seven, she that hath many children fadeth away.
Elos su kihp meet, Elos sukok orekma in moli ma nalos, A elos su masrinsral meet, elos tia sifil masrinsral. El su talap el oswela tulik itkosr, A el su pus tulik natu meet, tok wanginla tulik natul.
6 The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up. (Sheol h7585)
LEUM GOD El uniya ac El sifil akmoulyauk; El supwala mwet nu infulan misa, Ac El sifilpa folokunulosyak. (Sheol h7585)
7 The Lord maketh poor and maketh rich: he bringeth low and also lifteth up.
LEUM GOD El oru tuh kutu mwet uh sukasrup ac kutu kasrup. El akpusiselye kutu ac akfulatye kutu.
8 He raiseth up out of the dust the poor, from the dunghill he lifteth up the needy, to set them among nobles, and he assigneth them the throne of glory; for the Lord's are the pillars of the earth, on which he hath set the world.
El srukak mwet sukasrup liki kutkut, Ac El tulokunak mwet enenu liki nien sisi kutkut. El oru tuh elos in sie sin sie yurin mwet leum, Ac muta yorolos ke nien muta fulat. Pwelung lun faclu ma lun LEUM GOD, Ac El musaeak faclu fac.
9 He ever guardeth the feet of his pious ones, and the wicked shall be made silent in darkness; for not by strength can man prevail.
“El karingin moul lun mwet oaru lal, A mwet koluk elos tuhlac in lohsr uh. Sie mwet el tia ku in kutangla ke ku lal sifacna.
10 The Lord—his adversaries will be crushed; out of heaven will he thunder upon them: the Lord will judge the ends of the earth; and he will give strength unto his king, and lift up the horn of his anointed.
Mwet lokoalok lun LEUM GOD fah kunausyukla; El ac fah lainulos ke pulahl inkusrao me. LEUM GOD El ac fah nununku faclu nufon. El ac fah sang ku nu sin tokosra lal. El ac fah sang kutangla nu sin tokosra se su El sulela.”
11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the lad was ministering unto the Lord before 'Eli the priest.
Na Elkanah el folokla nu Ramah, a tulik Samuel el mutana in Shiloh ac kulansap nu sin LEUM GOD ye koko lal mwet tol Eli.
12 And the sons of 'Eli were worthless men: they knew not the Lord.
Wen natul Eli elos elah koluk. Elos tia akilen LEUM GOD
13 And the custom of the priests with the people was, that, when any man offered a sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while [the man] was seething the flesh, with a fork with three teeth in his hand;
ac elos tia pac akilen oakwuk lun mwet tol ke ma fal elos in oru nu sin mwet uh. Pa inge ouiya ma elos oru nu sin mwet ma tuku in orek kisa. Pacl ma sie mwet el orek kisa, na mwet kulansap lun mwet tol inge ac tuku, us fork ma oasr wihs tolkwe kac. Ke pacl ma ikwa uh srakna poel,
14 And he struck it into the pan, or the kettle, or the caldron, or the pot; [and] all that the fork brought up the priest took away with it. So did they unto all the Israelites that came thither, to Shiloh.
el ac isongya fork uh nu in tup uh, ac kutena ikwa ma sremla ke fork sac, pa inge ma nun mwet tol uh. Wen luo inge oru ouinge nu sin mwet Israel nukewa ma tuku in orek kisa.
15 Even before they had yet burnt the fat, the priest's servant would come, and say to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not take from thee sodden flesh, but raw.
Oayapa meet liki na kiris uh itukla liki ikwa uh in firriyukyak, mwet kulansap lun mwet tol uh ac tuku ac fahk nu sin mwet orek kisa uh, “Ase kutu ikwa an nu sin mwet tol elan sifacna munan. El tia enenu ma poelyak. El lungse in takmwek na.”
16 And if the man said unto him, They will surely presently burn the fat, and then take whatever thy soul may long for: then would he say, No; but thou shalt give it me now; and if not, I will take it by force.
Ac mwet orek kisa sac fin fahk, “Lela kut in fahsr fal nu ke ma oakwuk, kut in esukak kiris uh meet tufah kom eis enenu lom tok,” na mwet kulansap lun mwet tol el ac fahk, “Mo! Ase nu sik ingena! Kom fin tia, nga ac fah eis ke ku!”
17 And the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord; for the men despised the offering of the Lord.
Ma koluk lun mwet fusr luo inge arulana koluk ye mutun LEUM GOD, mweyen elos oru mwe kisa nu sin LEUM GOD oana ma pilasr.
18 But Samuel was ministering before the Lord, being a lad, girded with a linen ephod.
In pacl se inge Samuel el oru na orekma in kulansap lal nu sin LEUM GOD, ac el nukum sie nuknuk in mwet tol orekla ke nuknuk linen.
19 Moreover his mother used to make him a little overcoat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
In yac nukewa nina kial ac oru sie nuknuk srisrik lal Samuel, ac usla nu yorol ke el ac wi mukul tumal som in orek kisa ke yac sac.
20 And 'Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, May the Lord give thee seed from this woman instead of the loan who is lent to the Lord. And they went back unto his place.
Na Eli el ac akinsewowoyal Elkanah ac mutan kial ac fahk, “Lela LEUM GOD Elan asot pac sie tulik nu sin mutan se kiom an, in aol tulik se komtal kisakunang nu sel inge.” Tukun ma inge, eltal ac folok nu yen seltal.
21 And truly the Lord visited Hannah, and she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters. And the lad Samuel grew up before the Lord.
LEUM GOD El akinsewowoyal Hannah ac sang pac tulik mukul tolu, ac tulik mutan luo natul. Ac tulik Samuel el kapak ac kulansap nu sin LEUM GOD.
22 Now 'Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons were in the habit of doing unto all Israel; and how they would lie with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
In pacl se inge Eli el arulana matu, ac el lohng na ma wen luo natul ah oru nu sin mwet Israel, oayapa lah eltal motul yurin mutan su orekma ke nien utyak nu in Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD.
23 And he said unto them, Why will ye do such things? for I hear of your evil dealings from all this people.
Na Eli el fahk nu sin wen luo natul, “Efu ku komtal oru ma koluk inge? Mwet puspis kaskaskin nga lohng.
24 No, my sons; for the report that I hear is not good, which the Lord's people spread abroad.
Wen nutik, nimet sifil oru ouingan! Arulana koluk ma mwet lun LEUM GOD elos fahk keimtal uh!
25 If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him; but if against the Lord a man should sin, who shall pray for him? Nevertheless would they not hearken unto the voice of their father, because the Lord desired to slay them.
Sie mwet fin orekma koluk lain sie mwet, God El ku in kasrel. A su ku in kasru sie mwet el fin orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD?” Tusruktu wen luo inge tiana porongo pusren papa tumaltal, mweyen LEUM GOD El sulela tari in oneltal uh.
26 And the lad Samuel was constantly growing and increasing in favor both with the Lord, and also with men.
Tulik Samuel el kapkapak ac ohi ye mutun LEUM GOD ac mwet uh.
27 And there came a man of God unto 'Eli, and said unto him, Thus hath said the Lord, Did I [not] appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt, in Pharaoh's house?
Sie mwet palu tuku nu yorol Eli ac fahkak kas inge sin LEUM GOD, “Ke pacl se Aaron, papa matu tomom, ac sou lal elos tuh mwet kohs ye tokosra Egypt, nga tuh sifacna fahkyuyak nu sel Aaron.
28 And did I [not] choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to me as a priest, to offer upon my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I [not] give unto the house of thy father all the fire-offerings of the children of Israel?
Liki sruf nukewa lun Israel, nga sulela sou lal tuh in mwet tol luk, in kulansap ke mwe loang luk, in oru mwe kisa firir, ac nokomang nuknuk in ephod lun mwet tol in suk ma lungse luk. Ac nga oakiya tuh elos in ku in eis sie ip ke mwe kisa firir fin loang uh.
29 Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at my meat-offering, which I have commanded in [my] habitation? and [why] honoredst thou thy sons above me, to fatten yourselves with the first of every offering of Israel my people?
Na efu kowos ku ngetnget in rapkui mwe kisa ac mwe sang ma nga sap mwet luk in oru nu sik? Eli, efu ku kom akfulatye wen nutum inge yohk likiyu, ke kom lela eltal in akfatyeltal ke ip wowo ma mwet uh kisakin nu sik uh?
30 Therefore saith the Lord the God of Israel, I had indeed said, Thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever; but now, saith the Lord, Be it far from me; for those that honor me will I honor, and those that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
Nga LEUM GOD lun Israel, nga tuh wulela meet mu sruf lom ac sou lom pa ac orekma in mwet tol nu sik nwe tok. Tusruktu, nga fahk inge lah ac fah tia sifil ouinge! Nga fah akfulatyalos su akfulatyeyu, ac pilesralos su pilesreyu.
31 Behold, days are coming, that I will hew off thy arm, and the arm of thy father's house, so that there shall not be an old man in thy house.
Lohng akwoya — ac tia paht nga ac fah uniya mukul fusr nukewa in sruf lom ac sou lom, tuh in wangin mukul fusr in sou lom sun matwa matu.
32 And thou shalt behold a rival in my habitation, in all that by which he will do good for Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thy house in all times.
Kom ac fah pulakin ongoiya ac inse koluk ke kom ac liye ma nga ac fah oru in akinsewowoye mwet Israel saya, a funu mwet in sou lom, wangin sie selos ac fah moul sun matwa.
33 And yet I will not cut off the men descended from thee from my altar, to consume thy eyes, and to grieve thy soul: and all the increase of thy house shall die as [vigorous] men.
Tusruktu, nga ac fah filiya sie mwet sin fwil nutum, ac el fah kulansap nu sik ke ip lun mwet tol. Tusruk ac fah kunla mutal, ac wanginla finsrak yorol, ac fwil nutum nukewa saya ac fah misa ke misa keok.
34 And this shall be unto thee the sign, that shall happen on thy two sons, on Chophni and Phinehas: On one day shall they, both of them, die.
Ke wen luo nutum inge, Hophni ac Phinehas, eltal ac tukeni misa ke len sefanna, ma se inge fah akkalemye nu sum lah ma nukewa nga fahk inge ac akpwayeyuk.
35 And I will raise up to me a faithful priest, who shall do in accordance with what is in my heart and in my mind; and I will build for him an enduring house; and he shall walk before my anointed in all times.
Nga ac fah sulela sie mwet tol su ac fah pwaye nu sik, ac oru ma nukewa ma nga lungse. Nga fah sang fita lal, su ac fah kulansap nu sik in pacl nukewa ye mutun tokosra su nga sulela.
36 And it shall come to pass, that whoever is left in thy house shall come to bow down to him for a gera of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say, Attach me, I pray thee, unto one of the priestly offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.
Kutena sin fita lom ku fwil nutum su moul na, elos ac fah som nu yurin mwet tol sac ac ngusr mani ac mwe mongo, ac elos ac fah kwafe sel elos in kasru mwet tol, elos in mau konauk mwe mongo nalos.”
