< 1 Samuel 1 >

1 Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim, a Zuphite of the hill country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Toah, the 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 had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other, Peninnah. And Peninnah had children, but Hannah had 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 This man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests of the LORD, were there.
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 When the day came for Elkanah to sacrifice, he would give 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 But to Hannah he would give a double portion because he loved Hannah. Now the LORD had kept her from conceiving.
tinolo’e anjara mañeva t’i Khanà, fa i Khanà ty nikokoa’e, fe kinape’ Iehovà ty hovi’e.
6 And because the LORD kept her from conceiving, her rival used to taunt her severely, to irritate her.
Le nanolo-tsotry aze nainai’e i rafe’ey, nembere’e amy te nampikitihe’ Iehovà i hovi’ey.
7 And this went on year after year, as often as she went up to the house of the LORD, she taunted her; therefore she would weep and refuse to 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 said to her, "Hannah, why are you weeping? And why are you not eating? And why are you so sad? 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 So Hannah got up after eating and drinking in Shiloh, and stood before the LORD. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the temple of the LORD.
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 was greatly distressed and prayed to the LORD, and wept uncontrollably.
le nitalaho amy Iehovà an-kafairan’ arofo i rakembay vaho nangololoike ty rovetse.
11 And she vowed a vow and said, "LORD of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your servant and remember me and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a son, then I will set him before you as a Nazirite until the day of his death. And he will not drink wine or strong drink, and no razor will come 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 Now it happened, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli observed her mouth.
Aa ie nitolon-kalaly añatrefa’ Iehovà, le nioni’ i Elý i falie’ey.
13 And she was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk.
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 So Eli said to her, "How long will you make yourself drunk? Put away your wine, and go from before the LORD."
Le hoe t’i Elý tama’e, Ampara’ te ombia t’ihe ho màmo avao? adono añe o divai’oo.
15 And Hannah answered, "No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I poured out my soul before the LORD.
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 count your servant as a worthless woman; for I have been speaking out of the abundance of my distress and my anguish."
Ko atao’o ho anam-Beliale ty anak’ ampata’o, fa ami’ty hamaro-toreoko naho amy fanaheloakoy ty nivolañeko.
17 Then Eli answered, "Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that 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 She said, "Let your servant find favor in your sight." So the woman went her way, and entered her quarters, and ate; and her facial expression wasn't sad any more.
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 They rose up in the morning early, and worshiped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered 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 It happened, when the time had come, that Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she named him Samuel, saying, "Because I have asked him of the LORD."
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 The man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and to redeem his vow and all the tithes of his land.
Nitolom-pionjo hañenga i sorom-boa-taoñey naho hañava-pànta am’ Iehovà t’i Elkaná roandriañe rekets’ o añ’anjomba’eo.
22 But Hannah did not go up; for she said to her husband, "Not until the child is weaned; then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and stay there forever."
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 Elkanah her husband said to her, "Do what seems good in your eyes. Wait until you have weaned him; only may the LORD establish what you have said." So the woman waited and nursed her son, until she 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 Then she took him to Shiloh along with a three-year old bull, and bread, and an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine. And she came to the house of the LORD in Shiloh, and the boy was with them. And they went before the LORD and his father slaughtered the sacrifice, which he did annually to the LORD. Then he brought the boy,
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 he slaughtered the bull. And Hannah, the mother of the boy, brought him to Eli.
Ie linenta i baniay le nendeseñe amy Elý mb’eo i ajajay.
26 She said, "Oh, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to the LORD.
Le hoe re: O talèkoo, kanao veloñ’ ain-drehe, ry talèko, izaho i ampela nijohañe marine azo etoa, nilolok’ amy Iehovày.
27 For this child I prayed; and the LORD has given me my petition which I asked of him.
Ty ajaja toy i nihalaliekoy; vaho natolo’ Iehovà amako i nihalaliakoy;
28 Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD. As long as he lives he is lent to the LORD." Then she left him there, and she worshipped before the LORD.
aa le ingo fa hahereko am’ Iehovà, kanao velon-dre le a Iehovà. Aa le niambane añatrefa’ Iehovà re.
