1 Samuel 2
1 And Hannah prays and says: “My heart has exulted in YHWH, My horn has been high in YHWH, My mouth has been large over my enemies, For I have rejoiced in Your salvation.
Hana sì gbàdúrà pé, “Ọkàn mi yọ̀ sí Olúwa; ìwo agbára mi ni a sì gbé sókè sí Olúwa. Ẹnu mi sì gbòòrò lórí àwọn ọ̀tá mi, nítorí ti èmi yọ̀ ni ìgbàlà rẹ̀.
2 There is none holy like YHWH, For there is none except You, And there is no rock like our God.
“Kò sí ẹni tí ó mọ́ bi Olúwa; kò sí ẹlòmíràn bí kò ṣe ìwọ; kò sì sí àpáta bi Ọlọ́run wa.
3 You do not multiply—you speak haughtily—The old saying goes out from your mouth, For YHWH [is] a God of knowledge, And actions are weighed by Him.
“Má ṣe halẹ̀; má ṣe jẹ́ kí ìgbéraga ti ẹnu yín jáde nítorí pé Ọlọ́run olùmọ̀ ni Olúwa, láti ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ wá ni a ti ń wọn ìwà.
4 Bows of the mighty are broken, And the stumbling have girded on strength.
“Ọ̀run àwọn alágbára ti ṣẹ́, àwọn tí ó ṣe aláìlera ni a fi agbára dì ní àmùrè.
5 The satiated hired themselves for bread, And the hungry have ceased. While the barren has borne seven, And she abounding with sons has languished.
Àwọn tí ó yọ̀ fún oúnjẹ ti fi ara wọn ṣe alágbàṣe, àwọn tí ebi ń pa kò sì ṣe aláìní. Tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí àgàn fi bí méje. Ẹni tí ó bímọ púpọ̀ sì di aláìlágbára.
“Olúwa pa ó sì sọ di ààyè; ó mú sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí isà òkú, ó sì gbé dìde. (Sheol h7585)
7 YHWH dispossesses, and He makes rich, He makes low, indeed, He makes high.
Olúwa sọ di tálákà; ó sì sọ di ọlọ́rọ̀; ó rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, ó sì gbé sókè.
8 He raises the poor from the dust, He lifts up the needy from a dunghill, To cause [them] to sit with nobles, Indeed, He causes them to inherit a throne of glory, For the fixtures of earth [are] of YHWH, And He sets the habitable world on them.
Ó gbé tálákà sókè láti inú erùpẹ̀ wá, ó gbé alágbe sókè láti orí òkìtì eérú wá, láti mú wọn jókòó pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ-aládé, láti mu wọn jogún ìtẹ́ ògo, “Nítorí pé ọ̀wọ́n ayé ti Olúwa ni, ó sì ti gbé ayé ka orí wọn.
9 He keeps the feet of His saints, And the wicked are silent in darkness, For man does not become mighty by power.
Yóò pa ẹsẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ rẹ̀ mọ́, àwọn ènìyàn búburú ni yóò dákẹ́ ní òkùnkùn. “Nípa agbára kò sí ọkùnrin tí yóò borí.
10 YHWH—His adversaries are broken down, He thunders against them in the heavens: YHWH judges the ends of the earth, And gives strength to His king, And exalts the horn of His anointed.”
A ó fọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá Olúwa túútúú; láti ọ̀run wá ni yóò sán àrá sí wọn; Olúwa yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ òpin ayé. “Yóò fi agbára fún ọba rẹ̀, yóò si gbé ìwo ẹni àmì òróró rẹ̀ sókè.”
11 And Elkanah goes to Ramath, to his house, and the youth has been serving YHWH [in] the presence of Eli the priest;
Elkana sì lọ sí Rama, sí ilé rẹ̀, ọmọ náà sì ń ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún Olúwa níwájú Eli àlùfáà.
12 and the sons of Eli [are] sons of worthlessness, they have not known YHWH.
Àwọn ọmọ Eli sì jẹ́ ọmọ Beliali; wọn kò mọ Olúwa.
13 And the custom of the priests with the people [is that when] any man is sacrificing a sacrifice, then the servant of the priest has come in when the flesh is boiling, and [with] the hook of three teeth in his hand,
Iṣẹ́ àwọn àlùfáà pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn ni pé nígbà tí ẹnìkan bá ṣe ìrúbọ, ìránṣẹ́ àlùfáà á dé, nígbà tí ẹran náà bá ń hó lórí iná, pẹ̀lú ọ̀pá-ẹran náà oníga mẹ́ta ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀.
14 and has struck [it] into the pan, or kettle, or cauldron, or pot; all that the hook brings up the priest takes for himself; thus they do to all Israel who are coming in there in Shiloh.
Òun a sì fi gún inú apẹ, tàbí àgé tàbí ọpọ́n, tàbí ìkòkò, gbogbo èyí tí ọ̀pá-ẹran oníga náà bá mú wá sí òkè, àlùfáà á mú un fún ara rẹ̀. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n ń ṣe sí gbogbo Israẹli tí ó wá sí ibẹ̀ ní Ṣilo.
15 Also, before they make incense with the fat, then the priest’s servant has come in and said to the man who is sacrificing, “Give flesh to roast for the priest, and he does not take boiled flesh from you, but raw”;
Pẹ̀lú, kí wọn tó sun ọ̀rá náà, ìránṣẹ́ àlùfáà á dé, á sì wí fún ọkùnrin tí ó ń ṣe ìrúbọ pé, “Fi ẹran fún mi láti sun fún àlùfáà; nítorí tí kì yóò gba ẹran sísè lọ́wọ́ rẹ, bí kò ṣe tútù.”
16 and the man says to him, “Let them surely make incense with the fat according to the [custom] today, then take to yourself as your soul desires”; and he has said to him, “Surely you give now; and if not—I have taken by strength.”
Bí ọkùnrin náà bá sì wí fún un pé, “Jẹ́ kí wọn ó sun ọ̀rá náà nísinsin yìí, kí o sì mú iyekíye tí ọkàn rẹ̀ bá fẹ́,” nígbà náà ni yóò dá a lóhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, ṣùgbọ́n kí ìwọ ó fi í fún mi nísinsin yìí, bí kó ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, èmi ó fi agbára gbà á.”
17 And the sin of the young men is very great [in] the presence of YHWH, for the men have despised the offering of YHWH.
Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin náà sì tóbi gidigidi níwájú Olúwa: nítorí tí àwọn ènìyàn kórìíra ẹbọ Olúwa.
18 And Samuel is ministering [in] the presence of YHWH, a youth girt [with] an ephod of linen;
Ṣùgbọ́n Samuẹli ń ṣe ìránṣẹ́ níwájú Olúwa, ọmọdé, ti a wọ̀ ní efodu ọ̀gbọ̀.
19 and his mother makes a small upper coat for him, and she has brought it up to him from time to time, in her coming up with her husband to sacrifice the sacrifice of the time.
Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú, ìyá rẹ̀ máa ń dá aṣọ ìlekè péńpé fún un, a sì máa mú wá fún un lọ́dọọdún, nígbà tí ó bá bá ọkọ rẹ̀ gòkè wá láti ṣe ìrúbọ ọdún.
20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, “YHWH appoints seed of this woman for you, for the petition which she asked for YHWH”; and they have gone to their place.
Eli súre fún Elkana àti aya rẹ̀ pé, “Kí Olúwa fún ọ ní irú-ọmọ láti ara obìnrin yìí wá, nítorí ẹ̀bùn tí ó béèrè tí ó sì tún fún Olúwa.” Wọ́n sì lọ sí ilé wọn.
21 When YHWH has looked after Hannah, then she conceives and bears three sons and two daughters; and the youth Samuel grows up with YHWH.
Olúwa si bojú wo Hana, ó sì lóyún, ó bí ọmọkùnrin mẹ́ta àti ọmọbìnrin méjì. Samuẹli ọmọ náà sì ń dàgbà níwájú Olúwa.
22 And Eli [is] very old, and has heard all that his sons do to all Israel, and how that they lie with the women who are assembling [at] the opening of the Tent of Meeting,
Eli sì di arúgbó gidigidi, ó sì gbọ́ gbogbo èyí ti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ ṣe sí gbogbo Israẹli; àti bi wọ́n ti máa ń bá àwọn obìnrin sùn, tí wọ́n máa ń péjọ ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ àjọ.
23 and he says to them, “Why do you do things like these? For I am hearing of your evil words from all the people—these!
Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, kí ni ó ti ri “Èétirí tí èmi fi ń gbọ́ irú nǹkan bẹ́ẹ̀ sí yín? Nítorí tí èmi ń gbọ́ iṣẹ́ búburú yín láti ọ̀dọ̀ gbogbo ènìyàn.
24 No, my sons; for the report which I am hearing is not good, causing the people of YHWH to transgress.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ ẹ̀yin ọmọ mi, nítorí kì ṣe ìròyìn rere èmi gbọ́; ẹ̀yin mú ènìyàn Olúwa dẹ́ṣẹ̀.
25 If a man sins against a man, then God has judged him; but if a man sins against YHWH, who prays for him?” And they do not listen to the voice of their father, though YHWH has delighted to put them to death.
Bí ẹnìkan bá ṣẹ̀ sí ẹnìkejì, onídàájọ́ yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ rẹ̀: ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹnìkan bá ṣẹ̀ sí Olúwa, ta ni yóò bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún un?” Wọn kò sì fi etí sí ohùn baba wọn, nítorí tí Olúwa ń fẹ́ pa wọ́n.
26 And the youth Samuel is going on and growing up, and [is] good with both YHWH, and also with men.
Ọmọ náà Samuẹli ń dàgbà, ó sì rí ojúrere lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa, àti ènìyàn pẹ̀lú.
27 And a man of God comes to Eli and says to him, “Thus said YHWH: Was I really revealed to the house of your father in their being in Egypt, before Pharaoh’s house,
Ènìyàn Ọlọ́run kan tọ Eli wá, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Báyìí ni Olúwa wí, ‘Èmi fi ara mi hàn ní gbangba fún ilé baba rẹ, nígbà tí wọ́n ń bẹ ní Ejibiti nínú ilé Farao.
28 even to choose him out of all the tribes of Israel for a priest for Myself, to go up on My altar, to make incense, to bear an ephod before Me, and I give to the house of your father all the fire-offerings of the sons of Israel?
Èmi sì yàn án kúrò láàrín gbogbo ẹ̀yà Israẹli láti jẹ́ àlùfáà mi, láti rú ẹbọ lórí pẹpẹ mi, láti fi tùràrí jóná, láti wọ efodu níwájú mi, èmi sì fi gbogbo ẹbọ tí ọmọ Israẹli máa ń fi iná sun fún ìdílé baba rẹ̀.
29 Why do you kick at My sacrifice and at My offering, which I commanded [in] My habitation, and honor your sons above Me, to make yourselves fat from the first part of every offering of Israel, of My people?
Èéha ṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi tàpá sí ẹbọ àti ọrẹ mi, tí mo pàṣẹ ní ibùjókòó mi, ìwọ sì bu ọlá fún àwọn ọmọ rẹ jù mí lọ, tí ẹ sì fi gbogbo àṣàyàn ẹbọ Israẹli àwọn ènìyàn mi mú ara yín sanra.’
30 Therefore—a declaration of YHWH, God of Israel—I certainly said, Your house and the house of your father walk up and down before Me for all time; and now—a declaration of YHWH—Far be it from Me! For he who is honoring Me, I honor, and those despising Me, are lightly esteemed.
“Nítorí náà Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí pé, ‘Èmi ti wí nítòótọ́ pé, ilé rẹ àti ilé baba rẹ, yóò máa rìn níwájú mi títí.’ Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí Olúwa wí pé, ‘Kí á má rí i! Àwọn tí ó bú ọlá fún mi ni èmi yóò bu ọlá fún, àti àwọn tí kò kà mí sí ni a ó sì ṣe aláìkàsí.
31 Behold, days [are] coming, and I have cut off your arm, and the arm of the house of your father, that an old man is not in your house;
Kíyèsi i, àwọn ọjọ́ ń bọ̀ tí èmi ó gé agbára rẹ kúrò, àti agbára baba rẹ, tí kì yóò sí arúgbó kan nínú ilé rẹ.
32 and you have beheld an adversary [in My] habitation, in all that He does good with Israel, and there is not an old man in your house all the days.
Ìwọ yóò rí wàhálà ti Àgọ́, nínú gbogbo ọlá tí Ọlọ́run yóò fi fún Israẹli; kì yóò sí arúgbó kan nínú ilé rẹ láéláé.
33 And the man of yours I do not cut off from My altar—[My purpose is] to consume your eyes, and to grieve your soul; and all the increase of men [in] your house die;
Ọkùnrin tí ó jẹ́ tìrẹ, tí èmi kì yóò gé kúrò ní ibi pẹpẹ mi ni a ó dá sí láti sọkún yọ lójú àti láti banújẹ́. Ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo irú-ọmọ ilé rẹ̀ ni a ó fi idà pa ní ààbọ̀ ọjọ́ wọn.
34 and this [is] the sign to you that comes to your two sons, to Hophni and Phinehas—in one day both of them die;
“‘Kí ni ohun tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀ sí àwọn ọmọ ọkùnrin rẹ̀ méjèèjì, Hofini àti Finehasi, yóò jẹ́ àmì fún ọ—àwọn méjèèjì yóò kú ní ọjọ́ kan náà.
35 and I have raised up a steadfast priest for Myself; he does as in My heart and in My soul; and I have built a steadfast house for him, and he has walked up and down before My anointed all the days;
Èmi yóò dìde fún ara mi láti gbé àlùfáà olódodo dìde fún ara mi, ẹni tí yóò ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí ohun tí ó wà ní ọkàn mi àti inú mi. Èmi yóò fi ẹsẹ̀ ilé rẹ̀ múlẹ̀ gbọningbọnin òun yóò sì ṣe òjíṣẹ́ níwájú ẹni òróró mi ní ọjọ́ gbogbo.
36 and it has been, everyone who is left in your house comes to bow himself to him for a wage of silver and a cake of bread, and has said, Please admit me to one of the priest’s offices, to eat a morsel of bread.”
Nígbà náà olúkúlùkù ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá kù ní ìdílé yín, yóò jáde wá yóò sì foríbalẹ̀ níwájú rẹ̀ nítorí ẹyọ fàdákà àti nítorí èépá àkàrà àti ẹ̀bẹ̀ pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ yàn mí sí ọ̀kan nínú iṣẹ́ àwọn àlùfáà, kí èmi kí ó le máa rí oúnjẹ jẹ.”’”
