1 Samuel 1
1 And there was a certain man of Rama-thayim-zophim, of the mountain of Ephraim, whose name was Elkanah, the son of Yerocham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tochu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite.
Alò te genyen yon sèten mesye ki te soti nan Ramathaïm-Tsophim nan peyi ti kolin Éphraïm yo, non li se te Elkana, fis a Jeroham la, fis a Élihu a, fis a Thohu, fis a Tsuph, Efratyen an.
2 And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
Li te gen de madanm: youn te rele Anne e lòt la te Peninna. Peninna te fè pitit, men Anne pa t fè pitit.
3 And this man went up out of his city from year to year to prostrate himself and to sacrifice unto the Lord of hosts in Shiloh. And at that place were the two sons of 'Eli, Chophni and Phinehas, priests of the Lord.
Alò, mesye sa a te konn monte soti nan vil li a chak ane pou adore ak fè sakrifis a SENYÈ dèzame yo nan Silo. Epi de fis Éli yo, Hophni avèk Phinées te prèt SENYÈ a nan kote sa a.
4 And when the day was come that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions;
Lè jou a te vini pou Elkana te fè sakrifis yo, li ta bay yon pòsyon a Peninna, madanm li an e a tout fis li yo avèk fi li yo.
5 But unto Hannah he gave a double portion; for Hannah he loved [greatly]; but the Lord had shut up her womb.
Men a Anne, li ta bay yon pòsyon doub, paske li te renmen Anne; men SENYÈ a te fèmen vant li.
6 And her rival also provoked her continually, in order to make her fret; because the Lord had shut up her womb.
Men lòt madanm nan avèk kè anmè te konn chache pwovoke l pou fè l fache akoz SENYÈ a te fèmen vant li.
7 And he did so year by year, as often as she went up to the house of the Lord, so did she provoke her; wherefore she wept, and did not eat.
Li te rive ane aprè ane, otan ke li te monte vè lakay SENYÈ a, li ta pwovoke li. Konsa, li te kriye e li te vin refize manje.
8 Then said to her Elkanah her husband, Hannah, why wilt thou weep? and why wilt thou not eat? and why should thy heart be grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sons?
Epi Elkana te di li: “Anne, poukisa ou kriye konsa? Poukisa ou pa manje e poukisa kè ou tris? Éske mwen pa pi bon pase dis fis?”
9 And Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk; and 'Eli the priest was sitting upon a chair by the door-post of the temple of the Lord.
Konsa, Anne te leve lè l te fin manje ak bwè nan Silo. Alò Éli, prèt la, te chita sou chèz akote poto pòt tanp SENYÈ a.
10 But she had bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the Lord, and wept greatly.
Anne te twouble anpil. Li te priye a SENYÈ a e te kriye byen anmè.
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 will I give him unto the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.
Li te fè yon ve; li te di: “O SENYÈ dèzame, si Ou va vrèman gade afliksyon sèvant Ou an e sonje mwen an, sonje mwen e pa bliye sèvant Ou an, men konsa Ou va bay sèvant Ou an yon fis, epi mwen va bay li a SENYÈ a pou tout jou lavi li yo, e yon razwa p ap janm touche tèt li.”
12 And it came to pass, as she continued praying long before the Lord, that 'Eli watched her mouth.
Alò, li te vin rive ke pandan li t ap priye devan SENYÈ a, Éli t ap gade bouch li.
13 Now as for Hannah, she spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice could not be heard; wherefore 'Eli regarded her as a drunken woman.
Selon Anne, li t ap priye nan kè l, men se sèl lèv li ki t ap mache, e vwa li pa t fè bwi. Konsa, Éli te sipoze ke li te sou.
14 And 'Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from off thee.
Alò Éli te di li: “Pou konbyen de tan ou va rete sou konsa? Mete diven sa a lwen ou.”
15 And Hannah answered and said, No, my Lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit; but neither wine nor strong drink have I drunk, and I have poured out my soul before the Lord.
Men Anne te reponn: “Non, mèt mwen! Mwen se yon fanm oprime nan lespri. Mwen pa t bwè diven, ni bwason fò, men mwen t ap debarase nanm mwen devan SENYÈ a.
16 Esteem not thy handmaid as a worthless woman; for out of the abundance of my grief and vexation have I spoken hitherto.
Pa konsidere sèvant ou kòm yon fanm san valè; paske jis koulye a, mwen te pale akoz gran doulè avèk chagren mwen.”
17 Then 'Eli answered and said, Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant thy petition which thou hast asked of him.
Alò, Éli te reponn e te di: “Ale anpè. Epi ke Bondye Israël la kapab ba ou sa ou mande L la.”
18 And she said, Let thy handmaid find grace in thy eyes. The woman then went on her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no longer as before.
Anne te reponn: “Ke sèvant ou twouve favè nan zye ou.” Konsa, fanm nan te al fè wout li. Li te vin manje e figi li pa t tris ankò.
19 And they rose up early in the morning, and prostrated themselves before the Lord, and returned, and came to their house at Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the Lord remembered her.
Alò, yo te leve granmmaten pou te adore SENYÈ a, epi te retounen lakay yo nan Rama. Konsa, Elkana te antre an relasyon avèk Anne, madanm li an, e SENYÈ a te sonje li.
20 And it came to pass, after the lapse of some time, that Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she called his name Samuel, saying, Because from the Lord have I asked him.
Li te vin rive nan pwòp lè li, apre Anne te vin ansent lan, ke li te bay nesans a yon gason. Epi li te bay li non Samuel. Li te di: “Akòz mwen te mande SENYÈ a pou li.”
21 And the man Elkanah went up, with all his house, to offer unto the Lord the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.
Nom nan, Elkana te monte avèk tout lakay li pou fè ofrann sakrifis bay SENYÈ a ak pou peye ve li a.
22 But Hannah did not go up; for she said unto her husband, So soon as the child shall be weaned, then I will bring him, that he may appear before the Lord, and abide there for ever.
Men Anne pa t monte, paske li te di a mari li: “Mwen p ap monte jiskaske pitit la sevre. Epi mwen va pote li pou l kapab parèt devan SENYÈ a pou l rete la nèt.”
23 And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth good in thy eyes; tarry until thou hast weaned him; only may the Lord fulfill his word. So the woman remained behind, and gave her son suck until she weaned him.
Elkana, mari li te di li: “Fè sa ki sanble bon a ou menm. Rete jiskaske ou sevre li; sèlman ke SENYÈ a kapab acheve pawòl li.” Konsa, fanm nan te rete pran swen pitit la jiskaske li te vin sevre.
24 And she took him up with her, when she had weaned him, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and she brought him unto the house of the Lord at Shiloh; although the child was yet young.
Alò, lè li te fin sevre li, li te pran li monte avè l ansanm avèk yon towo twazan, yon efa farin, ak yon boutèy diven. Li te mennen li lakay a SENYÈ a nan Silo, malgre pitit la te tèlman piti.
25 And they slew a bullock, and brought the child to 'Eli.
Konsa, yo te touye towo a e te mennen gason an bay Éli.
26 And she said, Pardon, my Lord, as thy soul liveth, my Lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, to pray unto the Lord.
Anne te di: “O mèt mwen! Tankou nanm ou viv la, mèt mwen, mwen se fanm ki te kanpe la bò kote ou a, ki t ap priye a SENYÈ a.
27 For this lad did I pray; and the Lord hath granted me my petition which I asked of him;
Se pou gason sila a ke m te priye a, e SENYÈ a te ban mwen demand ke m te fè Li a.
28 Therefore also have I lent him, for my part, to the Lord; all the days that have been assigned to him shall he be lent to the Lord. And he bowed himself there before the Lord.
Konsa, mwen te konsakre li bay SENYÈ a. Pou tout tan ke li ta viv li konsakre a SENYÈ a.” Konsa, Samuel te adore SENYÈ a la sou plas.
