< 1 Samuel 2 >

1 And she said, "My heart rejoices in Jehovah. My strength rises up in my God. My mouth boasts over my enemies, because I rejoice in your salvation.
Nitalaho t’i Khanà, ami‘ty hoe: Mirebek’ am’ Iehovà ty troko, mionjoñe am’ Iehovà ty tsifako; misokak’ amo rafelahikoo ty vavako; le jejoeko ty fandrombahañe ahy.
2 Truly, there is no one as holy as Jehovah. Truly, there is no one besides you, nor is there any rock like our God.
Leo raike tsy masiñe manahak’ Iehovà toe tsy ie naho ts’ Ihe; vaho tsy eo ty lamilamy hambañe aman’ Añaharen-tika.
3 Do not speak boastfully or let arrogance come out of your mouth, for Jehovah is a God of knowledge. By him actions are weighed.
Ko mivolam-pirengevohañe avao; ko metea’o hiakatse am-palie’o ty fitoeborañe; amy te Andrianañahare mahilala t’Iehovà; ama’e ty andanjàñe o satao.
4 The bows of the mighty men are broken. Those who stumbled are armed with strength.
Nipozake ty fale’ o fanalolahio, le nampiombeañe haozarañe o nikoletrao.
5 Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread. Those who were hungry are satisfied. Even the barren has borne seven, and she who has many children languishes.
Nikarama hahazoa’e mofo o nivontsiñeo; anjañe ka o nilingoao; nisamake fito ty betsiterake, vaho ninìke i nimaro anakey.
6 Jehovah kills, and makes alive. He brings down to Sheol, and brings up. (Sheol h7585)
Mamono t’Iehovà, mbore mameloñe; manjotso mb’an-tsikeokeok’ ao, vaho mañakatse boak’ao. (Sheol h7585)
7 Jehovah makes poor, and makes rich. He brings low, he also lifts up.
Maha poi’e t’Iehovà naho mampañaleale; mamotsake vaho mañonjoñe.
8 He raises up the poor out of the dust. He lifts up the needy from the dunghill, To make them sit with princes, and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are Jehovah's. He has set the world on them.
Atroa’e boak’ an-debok’ ao o poie’eo, naho ongaha’e boak’am-porompots’ ao ty rarake, hampiambesare’e amo roandriañeo, handova’e i fiambesan-engeñey; Iehovà ro faha-ty voatse toy, vaho najado’e ama’e ty tane toy.
9 He will guard the feet of his faithful ones, but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness. For no man will prevail by strength.
Hambena’e ty fandia’ o masi’eo, fe hampitsiñeñe añ’ieñ’ ao o lo-tserekeo; fa tsy haozarañe ty handreketa’ ondatio.
10 Those who strive with Jehovah will be broken to pieces. He will thunder against them in the sky. "Jehovah will judge the farthest parts of the earth. He will give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed."
Ho demodemoheñe o mifandietse amy Iehovào; hangotroha’e boak’ an-dikerañe ao; ho zakae’ Iehovà o olon-taneo; le hampaozare’e i mpanjaka’ey, vaho haonjo’e ty tsifa’ i noriza’ey.
11 And she went to Ramah, while the child served Jehovah before Eli the priest.
Aa le nimpoly mb’añ’anjomba’e mb’e Ramà mb’eo t’i Elkanà; vaho nitoroñe Iehovà añatrefa’ i Elý mpisoroñe i ajajay.
12 Now the sons of Eli were worthless men; they did not know Jehovah.
Ondaty tsi-vokatse i ana-dahi’ i Ely rey, tsy nahafohiñe Iehovà.
13 The custom of the priests with the people was that when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was boiling, with a fork of three teeth in his hand;
Inao ty sata’ i mpisoroñe rey am’ ondatio: Naho mañenga soroñe t’indaty, ie mbe mandeve i henay, le mb’eo ty mpitoro’ i mpisoroñe rey reketse fitsovohan-kena telo fitsipoke am-pità’e;
14 and he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fork brought up the priest took therewith. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.
vaho atsovo’e ke an-kitra ao, ke añ’ana-kalañe, ke am-balàñe, hera an-tsajoa; le ze akare’ i fitsovohan-kenay ty endese’ i mpisoroñey ho aze. Nanoe’ iareo amy ze hene ana’ Israele niheo mb’e Silò mb’eo Izay.
15 Yes, before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man who sacrificed, "Give meat to roast for the priest; for he will not accept boiled meat from you, but raw."
Eka, ie mbe tsy nahatoeñe i solikey le nimb’eo ty mpitoro’ i mpisoroñey nanao ty hoe amy ‘ndaty nanao soroñey: Anoloro hena hatono’ay ho a i mpisoroñey; fa tsy ho no’e ama’o ty hena nahandroeñe; i mantay ty paiae’e.
16 If the man said to him, "Let the fat be burned first, and then take all of it which your soul desires"; then he would say, "No, but you shall give it to me now; and if not, I will take it by force."
Aa naho nanoa’ indatiy ty hoe: Angao hahatoeñe hey o henao, vaho alao ze satrin’ arofo’o; le nanoa’e ty hoe: Aiy! atoloro ahy hey tsy mone ho tavaneko.
17 The sin of the young men was very great before Jehovah; for they despised the offering of Jehovah.
Toe jabajaba añatrefa’ Iehovà ty hakeo’ i ajalahy rey; amy te nimavoe’ iareo o engaeñe amy Iehovào.
18 But Samuel ministered before Jehovah, being a child, clothed with a linen ephod.
Ie amy zao nitoroñe añatrefa’ Iehovà t’i Samoele, an-kitambe leny, ie mb’e ajaja.
19 Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
Le zinain-drene’e ho aze ty saroñe kedekedeke vaho natolo’e aze boa-taoñe amy lia’e mb’eo mindre amy vali’e mpañenga sorom-boa-taoñey.
20 And Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, and said, "May Jehovah repay you with offspring by this woman for the gift which she made to Jehovah." And the man returned to his home.
Nitatae’ i Elý t’i Elkanà naho i tañanjomba’ey ami’ty hoe: Hatolo’ Iehovà ama’o abey añami’ty rakemba toy ty tiry hisolo i nihalaliañe am’ Iehovày. Le nimpoly mb’añ’ anjomba’ iareo mb’eo.
21 Jehovah visited Hannah, and she bore more children, three sons and two daughters. The child Samuel grew before Jehovah.
Aa le nahatiahy i Khanà t’Iehovà, le niaren-dre, vaho nahasamak’ ana-dahy telo naho anak’ampela roe. Nitombo añatrefa’ Iehovà t’i Samoele.
22 Now Eli was very old; and he heard what his sons did to the children of Israel (and how that they lay with the women who served at the door of the Tent of Meeting).
Nigain-kantetse t’i Elý; naho jinanji’e iaby o sata’ i ana’e rey amy Israeleo, naho t’ie nifandia tihy amo rakemba mpitoroñe an-dalan-kivohom-pamantañañeo.
23 And he said to them, "Why do you do such things as these that I hear being said of you from the mouth of the people of Jehovah?
Le nanoe’e ty hoe: Ino ty anoe’ areo ze o raha zao? Raty ty italilia’ ondaty iabio.
24 No, my sons, do not do this. For it is not a good report that I hear the people of Jehovah spreading.
Tsy mete izay, ry anako; toe tsy soa ty talily tsanoñeko te ampandilare’ areo ondati’ Iehovào.
25 If a man sins gravely against another, he can appeal to Jehovah; but if a man sins against Jehovah, who can intercede for him?" But, they did not listen to the voice of their father, because Jehovah intended to kill them.
Naho aman-kakeo ama’ ondaty t’indaty, le ho zakaem-pizaka; fe naho aman-tahiñe am’Iehovà t’indaty, ia ty hañalañalañe ho aze? Fe tsy hinao’ iareo ty fiarañanañan-drae’ iareo, fa toe satri’ Iehovà t’ie hampihomaheñe.
26 The child Samuel grew on, and increased in favor both with Jehovah, and also with men.
Mbe nitombo eri­ke t’i Samoele ajajay, nionjoñe am-pañisoha’ Iehovà vaho am’ondatio.
27 A man of God came to Eli, and said, "Thus says Jehovah, I plainly revealed myself to the house of your father, when they were slaves in Egypt to the house of Pharaoh.
Nomb’amy Elý amy zao ty ondatin’ Añahare, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà: Tsy niboake malange añ’anjomban-droae’o hao iraho, ie te Mitsraime añe añatrefan’ anjomba’ i Parò?
28 And I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod. And I gave to the house of your father all the offerings by fire of the children of Israel as food.
Tsy jinoboko amo hene’ fifokoa’ Israeleo hao re ho mpisoroko, hionjoñe mb’ amy kitrelikoy mb’eo hañemboke naho hisikiñe kitambe añatrefako? Mbore fonga natoloko aman’ anjomban-drae’o o nengae’ o ana’ Israeleo horoañe añ’ afoo?
29 Then why do you look at my sacrifice and my offering with a selfish eye, and honor your sons more than me in letting them eat from the first part of every offering of Israel before me?'
Ino arè ty itimpaha’ areo o fisoroñañe ahikoo naho o engaeñe amakoo, o nandiliako hanoeñe amy fimoneñakoio, vaho iasia’o ambone ahy o ana’oo, amondraha’ areo sandriñe amy ze hene voli-hena engae’ ondatiko Israeleo?
30 "Therefore Jehovah, the God of Israel, says, 'I said indeed that your house, and the house of your father, should walk before me forever.' But now Jehovah says, 'Be it far from me; for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele: Toe vinolako i anjomba’oy, naho i anjomban-droae’oy, ty hañavelo añatrefako eo nainai’e; fa hoe ka t’Iehovà henane zao: ho lavitse amako izay; hiasiako ze miasy ahy, le tsy honjoneko ze manirìka ahy.
31 Look, the days come, that I will cut off your descendants, and the descendants of your father's house, that there shall not be an old man in your house.
Inao! ho tondroke ty andro, te haitoako ama’o ty fita’o havana, naho ty fitàn’ anjomban-drae’o le tsy ho ama’ ondaty antetse ka ty añ’anjomba’o ao.
32 And you will see distress in the dwelling place, in all that he does good with Israel. And there will not be an old man in your house all the days.
Haha­isake rafelahy an-kibohoko ao irehe, amy ze hene hasoa hanoe’e am’Israele; ihe tsy ho ama’ ondaty bey añ’anjomba’o ao kitro-katroke.
33 And the man of yours I do not cut off from my altar will be to cause his eyes to fail and to grieve his soul, and all the increase of your house will die by the sword of men.
Toe tsy hene haitoako amy kitrelikoy o ondati’oo, fa ho nampilesa ty fihaino’o naho hampioremeñeñe ty arofo’o fe fonga hihomake o tirin’ anjomba’oo t’ie mbe ajalahy.
34 "'This shall be the sign to you, that shall come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall both die.
Aa zao ty ho viloñe ama’o: Hifetsak’ amy ana-dahi’o roe rey, amy Kofný naho i Pinekàse, te toe hitrao-pivetrak’ ami’ty andro raike—ie roe.
35 I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind. I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before my anointed forever.
Fe hatroako ty mpisoroñe migahiñe, ie ty hañeneke ze an-troko naho am-pitsakoreako; le handranjiako anjom­ba fatratse vaho hitoroñe añatrefa’ i norizakoy nainai’e re.
36 It shall happen, that everyone who is left in your house shall come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say, "Please put me into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread."'"
Ie amy zao, songa homb’eo ze sehanga’e añ’akiba’o ao, hidrakadrakak’ ama’e hahazoa’e ty volafoty naho ty vonga-mofo ami’ty hoe: ehe gineo hitoloñeko ho mpisoroñe hihinanako mofo pilipito’e.
