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,
Vakai naʻe ai ha tangata ʻo Lamateimi-Sofimi ʻoe moʻunga ʻo ʻIfalemi, ko hono hingoa ko ʻElikena, ko e foha ʻo Seloami ko e foha ʻo Elihu, ko e foha ʻo Tohu: ko e foha ʻo Sufi, ko e tangata ʻEfalata:
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.
Pea naʻe toko ua hono uaifi; ko e hingoa ʻoe tokotaha ko ʻAna, pea ko Penina ʻae hingoa ʻoe tokotaha: pea naʻe ai ʻae fānau ʻa Penina, ka naʻe ʻikai ha fānau ʻa ʻAna.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae tangata ni mei heʻene kolo ki Sailo ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē ke lotu mo ʻatu ʻae feilaulau kia Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau. Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ongo foha ʻo Ilai, ko Hofini mo Finiasi ko e ongo taulaʻeiki ʻo Sihova.
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,
Pea ʻi he hoko ʻae ʻaho ke fai ʻae feilaulau ʻe ʻElikena, naʻa ne vahe kia Penina ko hono uaifi, mo ʻene ngaahi tama kotoa pē mo ʻene ngaahi taʻahine ʻa honau ʻinasi.
5 and he gives a certain portion to Hannah—double, for he has loved Hannah, and YHWH has shut her womb;
Ka naʻa ne ʻatu kia ʻAna ʻae vahe lahi he naʻe ʻofa ia kia ʻAna: ka kuo tāpuni hono manāva ʻe Sihova.
6 and her rival has also provoked her greatly, so as to make her tremble, for YHWH has shut up her womb.
Pea naʻe fakamamahi lahi ia ʻe hono fili, ke ne lāunga, ko e meʻa ʻi he tāpuni hono manāva ʻe Sihova.
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.
Pea ʻi heʻene fai pehē pe ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē, naʻa ne ʻalu hake ki he fale ʻo Sihova, pea loto mamahi ai ia; ko ia naʻe tangi ai ia, pea naʻe ʻikai kai.
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?”
Pea pehē ai ʻe ʻElikena ko hono husepāniti kiate ia, “ʻAna ko e hā ʻoku ke tangi ai? Pea ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai te ke kai? Pea ko e hā ʻoku mamahi ai ho loto? ʻIkai ʻoku ou lelei hake kiate koe ʻi he tama ʻe hongofulu?”
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.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa ʻAna hili ʻenau kai mo inu ʻi Sailo. Pea naʻe nofo ʻae taulaʻeiki ko Ilai ʻi he nofoʻa ofi ki he pou ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova.
10 And she is bitter in soul, and prays to YHWH, and weeps greatly,
Pea naʻe mamahi lahi hono laumālie, ʻo ne lotu kia Sihova, pea tangi lahi.
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.”
Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae fuakava, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE Sihova ʻoe tokolahi, kapau ko e moʻoni te ke ʻafio mai ki he mamahi ʻa hoʻo kaunanga, ʻo manatuʻi au, ʻo ʻikai fakangaloʻi ʻa hoʻo kaunanga, ka ke foaki ki hoʻo kaunanga ʻae tama, pehē te u foaki ia kia Sihova ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻai ha tele ki hono ʻulu.”
12 And it has been, when she multiplied praying before YHWH, that Eli is watching her mouth,
Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi heʻene lotu maʻu pē ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, naʻe vakai ʻe Ilai ʻa hono loungutu.
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.
Ka naʻe lea ʻa ʻAna ʻi hono loto pea naʻe ngaue hono loungutu ka naʻe ʻikai ongoʻi hono leʻo: ko ia naʻe mahalo ai ʻe Ilai kuo konā ia.
14 And Eli says to her, “Until when are you drunken? Turn aside your wine from you.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Ilai kiate ia, “ʻE tuku ʻafē ʻa hoʻo konā? tukuange hoʻo uaine ʻiate koe.”
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;
Pea naʻe leaange ʻa ʻAna ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai, ʻE hoku ʻeiki, ka ko e fefine loto mamahi au: naʻe ʻikai te u inu uaine pe ha inu mālohi, ka kuo u lilingi hoku laumālie ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
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.”
ʻOua naʻa ke ui hoʻo kaunanga ko e ʻofefine ʻoe kovi: he kuo u lea pe ʻi he lahi ʻo ʻeku feinga mo ʻeku mamahi.”
17 And Eli answers and says, “Go in peace, and the God of Israel gives your petition which you have asked of Him.”
Pea naʻe lea ai ʻa Ilai ʻo pehē, “ʻAlu fiemālie pē: pea ʻofa ke tuku kiate koe ʻe he ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻae kole ʻaia kuo ke kole kiate ia.”
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.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Tuku ke maʻu ʻe hoʻo kaunanga ʻae fiemālie ʻi ho ʻao.” Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae fefine ʻi hono hala, pea kai, pea naʻe ʻikai kei matapeko ia.
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;
Pea naʻa nau tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻi he ʻapongipongi, ʻo lotu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ʻalu, ʻo hoko atu ki honau fale ʻi Lama: pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe ʻElikena ʻa hono uaifi; pea naʻe manatuʻi ia ʻe Sihova.
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.”
Pea hili ʻae ngaahi māhina ʻoe feitama ʻa ʻAna, pea pehē, naʻe fāʻeleʻi ʻe ia ʻae tama, ʻo ne ui hono hingoa ko Samuela, ʻo pehē, “Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku kole ia meia Sihova.”
21 And the man Elkanah goes up, and all his house, to sacrifice to YHWH the sacrifice of the days, and his vow.
Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae tangata ko ʻElikena mo hono fale kotoa pē, ke ʻatu kia Sihova ʻae feilaulau ʻoe taʻu, mo ʻene fuakava.
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.”
Ka naʻe ʻikai ʻalu ʻa ʻAna; he naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki hono husepāniti, “ʻE ʻikai te u ʻalu kaeʻoua ke mavae ʻae tamasiʻi, pea u toki ʻave ia, koeʻuhi ke fakahā ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ke nofomaʻu ai ia ʻo taʻengata.
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,
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe hono husepāniti ko ʻElikena kiate ia, “Ke ke fai ʻaia ʻoku lelei kiate koe; tatali ke ʻoua ke ke mavae ia; kae kehe ke fokotuʻumaʻu ʻe Sihova ʻene folofola.” Ko ia naʻe nofo ai ʻae fefine ʻo fakahuhu ʻene tama, pea toki fakamavae ia.
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.
Pea hili ʻa hono fakamavae ia, naʻa ne ʻave ia, pea mo e fanga pulu ʻe tolu, mo e efa ʻe taha ʻoe mahoaʻa, mo e hina uaine ʻe taha, ʻo ʻomi ia ki he fale ʻo Sihova ʻi Sailo: pea naʻe kei siʻi ʻae tama.
25 And they slaughter the bullock, and bring in the youth to Eli,
Pea naʻa na tāmateʻi ʻae pulu, pea ʻomi ʻae tamasiʻi kia Ilai.
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;
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻE hoku ʻeiki, hangē ʻoku moʻoni ʻa hoʻo moʻui, ʻe hoku ʻeiki, ko au ko e fefine naʻe tuʻu ofi kiate koe ʻi heni, ʻo lotu kia Sihova.
27 I prayed for this youth, and YHWH gives to me my petition which I asked of Him;
Naʻaku kole ʻae tamasiʻi ni; pea kuo tuku mai ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻeku kole ʻaia ne u fai kiate ia:
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.
Ko ia foki ʻoku ou toe ʻatu ia kia Sihova; ʻe tuku ia kia Sihova ʻi heʻene moʻui kotoa pē.” Pea naʻe lotu ia kia Sihova ʻi ai.
