< 1 Samuel 1 >

1 And there is a certain man of Ramathaim-Zophim, of the hill-country of Ephraim, and his name [is] Elkanah, son of Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, an Ephraimite,
Ie henane zay, teo t’indaty e Ramataime-zofime, am-bohibohi’i Efraime ao atao Elkanà, ana’ Ierohame, ana’ i Elihò, ana’ i Tohò ana’ i Tsofe, nte-Efraime.
2 and he has two wives, the name of the first [is] Hannah, and the name of the second Peninnah, and Peninnah has children, and Hannah has no children.
Roe ty vali’e, ty añara’ ty raike, Khanà, ty añara’ty raike, Peninà; nanañ’ anake t’i Peninà, fe mbetsiterake t’i Khanà.
3 And that man has gone up out of his city from time to time, to bow himself, and to sacrifice, before YHWH of Hosts, in Shiloh, and there [are] two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests of YHWH.
Ie amy zay niavotse i rova’ey boa-taoñe indatiy nitalaho naho nisoroñe am’ Iehovà’ i Màroy e Silò añe. Mpisoroñe amy Iehovà henane zay t’i Kofený naho i Pinekase.
4 And the day comes, and Elkanah sacrifices, and he has given portions to his wife Peninnah, and to all her sons and her daughters,
Ie tsatoke ty andro hanoen- tsoroñe le songa nanjotsoa’e t’i Peninà tañanjomba’e naho o ana-dahi’e naho anak’ ampela’e iabio;
5 and he gives a certain portion to Hannah—double, for he has loved Hannah, and YHWH has shut her womb;
tinolo’e anjara mañeva t’i Khanà, fa i Khanà ty nikokoa’e, fe kinape’ Iehovà ty hovi’e.
6 and her rival has also provoked her greatly, so as to make her tremble, for YHWH has shut up her womb.
Le nanolo-tsotry aze nainai’e i rafe’ey, nembere’e amy te nampikitihe’ Iehovà i hovi’ey.
7 And so is done year by year, from the time of her going up into the house of YHWH, so she provokes her, and she weeps, and does not eat.
Aa le nitolom-panao izay an-taoñ’an-taon-dre, ie nionjomb’ amy anjomba’ Iehovày mb’eo, le nampisoañe’e avao; ie nirovetse, tsy nete nikama.
8 And her husband Elkanah says to her, “Hannah, why do you weep? And why do you not eat? And why is your heart afflicted? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”
Aa le hoe t’i Elkanà vali’e ama’e, O Khanà, ino o iroveta’oo? akore te tsy mihinañe? ino ty mampalorè ty tro’o? tsy lombolombo’ ty ana-dahy folo ama’o v’irahoo?
9 And Hannah rises after eating in Shiloh, and after drinking, and Eli the priest is sitting on the throne by the doorpost of the temple of YHWH.
Aa ie fa nikama naho ninoñe e Silò ao iereo le niongake t’i Khanà, —ie amy zao niambesatse amy fiambesa’e an-tokonan-dalambein’ anjomba’ Iehovày t’i Elý mpisoroñe;
10 And she is bitter in soul, and prays to YHWH, and weeps greatly,
le nitalaho amy Iehovà an-kafairan’ arofo i rakembay vaho nangololoike ty rovetse.
11 and vows a vow, and says, “YHWH of Hosts, if You certainly look on the affliction of Your handmaid, and have remembered me, and do not forget Your handmaid, and have given to Your handmaid seed of men—then I have given him to YHWH all [the] days of his life, and a razor does not go up on his head.”
Le nifanta an-titike ty hoe: O ry Iehovà’ i Màroy, naho toe ho vazoho’o ty fisotrian’ anak’ ampata’o toy, naho hahatiahy ahy, naho tsy handikofa’o o fetrek’oro’oo naho ho tolora’o ana-dahy ty mpitoro’o ampela, le hatoloko am’Iehovà ho amo hene andro hiveloma’eo vaho tsy hozaem-piharatse ty añambone’e.
12 And it has been, when she multiplied praying before YHWH, that Eli is watching her mouth,
Aa ie nitolon-kalaly añatrefa’ Iehovà, le nioni’ i Elý i falie’ey.
13 and Hannah, she is speaking over her heart—only her lips are moving, and her voice is not heard, and Eli reckons her to be drunken.
Nisaontsy añ’ arofo’e ao t’i Khanà, o fivimbi’eo avao ty nihetseke, le tsy nirey i fiarañanaña’ey; aa le natao’ i Elý t’ie nijike.
14 And Eli says to her, “Until when are you drunken? Turn aside your wine from you.”
Le hoe t’i Elý tama’e, Ampara’ te ombia t’ihe ho màmo avao? adono añe o divai’oo.
15 And Hannah answers and says, “No, my lord, I [am] a woman sharply pained in spirit, and I have not drunk wine and strong drink, and I pour out my soul before YHWH;
Nanoiñe aze ty Khanà, amy ty hoe: Aiy! ry talèko, ampela mioremèñe ‘no-ahoo; tsy mpinon-divay ndra tòake, fe nadoako añatrefa’ Iehovà ty troko.
16 do not put your handmaid before a daughter of worthlessness, for from the abundance of my meditation, and of my provocation, I have spoken until now.”
Ko atao’o ho anam-Beliale ty anak’ ampata’o, fa ami’ty hamaro-toreoko naho amy fanaheloakoy ty nivolañeko.
17 And Eli answers and says, “Go in peace, and the God of Israel gives your petition which you have asked of Him.”
Aa le nanoiñe aze t’i Elý ami’ty hoe, akia ampanintsiñañe, i Andrianañahare’ Israele ty hamale soa i nihalalia’oy.
18 And she says, “Let your handmaid find grace in your eyes”; and the woman goes on her way, and eats, and her face has not been [downcast] for herself anymore.
Aa le hoe re, Ehe te haharendre-pañisohañe am-pahaoniña’o o anak’ ampata’oo. Le niavotse i rakembay, nikama, vaho tsy nanahelo ka ty lahara’e.
19 And they rise early in the morning, and bow themselves before YHWH, and turn back, and come to their house in Ramah, and Elkanah knows his wife Hannah, and YHWH remembers her;
Nañampitso iereo te nitroatse naho nitalaho añatrefa’ Iehovà naho nimpoly mb’añ’anjomba’ iareo e Ramà añe; le nifañaoñe amy Khanà vali’e t’i Elkanà vaho nahatiahy aze t’Iehovà.
20 and it comes to pass, at the revolution of the days, that Hannah conceives, and bears a son, and calls his name Samuel, for, “I have asked for him from YHWH.”
Ie añe, tondroke te niareñe t’i Khanà, le nisamake ana-dahy vaho natao’e Samoele ty añara’e, Amy te nihalalieko amy Iehovà.
21 And the man Elkanah goes up, and all his house, to sacrifice to YHWH the sacrifice of the days, and his vow.
Nitolom-pionjo hañenga i sorom-boa-taoñey naho hañava-pànta am’ Iehovà t’i Elkaná roandriañe rekets’ o añ’anjomba’eo.
22 And Hannah has not gone up, for she said to her husband, “Until the youth is weaned—then I have brought him in, and he has appeared before the face of YHWH, and dwelt there for all time.”
Fe tsy nañavelo mb’eo t’i Kaná; hoe re amy vali’ey: Ie otàñe i ajajay, le hendeseko mb’eo, hiatrefa’e am’ Iehovà, vaho ao ty himoneña’e nainai’e.
23 And her husband Elkanah says to her, “Do that which is good in your eyes; abide until your weaning him; only, let YHWH establish His word”; and the woman abides and suckles her son until she has weaned him,
Aa le hoe t’i Elkanà, vali’e ama’e: Ano ze atao’o ho soa; Mahaliñisa ampara’ t’ie notàñe; hajado’ Iehovà abey i tsara’ey. Aa le nandrare tobok’ ao re nampinono i ana’ey, ampara’ te notae’e.
24 and she causes him to go up with her when she has weaned him, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and she brings him into the house of YHWH at Shiloh, and the youth [is but] a youth.
Aa ie notàñe i ajajay le nendese’e mindre ama’e nionjoñe mb’eo, reketse ty bania telo ay, naho mahakama efà raike, vaho ty zonjòn-divay, le nendese’e mb’ añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà e Silò ao, mbe nitora’e i ajajay.
25 And they slaughter the bullock, and bring in the youth to Eli,
Ie linenta i baniay le nendeseñe amy Elý mb’eo i ajajay.
26 and she says, “O my lord, your soul lives! My lord, I [am] the woman who stood with you in this [place], to pray to YHWH;
Le hoe re: O talèkoo, kanao veloñ’ ain-drehe, ry talèko, izaho i ampela nijohañe marine azo etoa, nilolok’ amy Iehovày.
27 I prayed for this youth, and YHWH gives to me my petition which I asked of Him;
Ty ajaja toy i nihalaliekoy; vaho natolo’ Iehovà amako i nihalaliakoy;
28 and I also have called him to YHWH, all the days that he has lived—he is called to YHWH”; and he bows himself there before YHWH.
aa le ingo fa hahereko am’ Iehovà, kanao velon-dre le a Iehovà. Aa le niambane añatrefa’ Iehovà re.
