< 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.
Oasr sie mwet su pangpang Elkanah in sruf lal Ephraim, su muta in Ramah in eol Ephraim. El wen natul Jeroham, su ma natul Elihu ac ma in sou lal Tohu, su ma in ota lal Zuph.
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.
Oasr mutan luo kial Elkanah: ineltal pa Hannah ac Peninnah. Oasr tulik natul Peninnah, a wangin tulik natul Hannah.
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.
Yac nukewa Elkanah el ac som liki acn Ramah nu Shiloh in alu ac orek kisa nu sin LEUM GOD Kulana. Hophni ac Phinehas, wen luo natul Eli, eltal mwet tol lun LEUM GOD we.
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.
Kais sie pacl Elkanah el oru mwe kisa lal, el ac sang ip se nu sel Peninnah ac kais sie ip nu sin wen ac acn natul.
5 But to Hannah he would give a double portion because he loved Hannah. Now the LORD had kept her from conceiving.
Elkanah el ne arulana lungse Hannah yohk, tuh el ac sang ip sefanna nu sel ke sripen LEUM GOD El kaliya insial tuh in wangin tulik natul.
6 And because the LORD kept her from conceiving, her rival used to taunt her severely, to irritate her.
Peninnah el lungse angnol Hannah ke sripen God El aktalapyal, oru arulana toasr insial Hannah kac.
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.
Lumah se inge orek yac nu ke yac — pacl nukewa ma elos ac som nu in lohm sin LEUM GOD, Peninnah el ac aktoasryal Hannah, oru el tung ac tia pac lungse mongo.
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?"
Elkanah, mukul tumal, el ac fahk, “Hannah, efu ku kom tung? Efu ku kom tia mongo? Efu ku kom toasr pacl nukewa? Ya nga tia wo liki wen singoul nu sum?”
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.
Sie pacl ah tukun elos mongo ac nim tari in lohm sin LEUM GOD in acn Shiloh, Hannah el tuyak ac fahkulak sifacna ye mutun LEUM GOD. Eli, mwet tol, el muta ke nien muta lal sisken sru in mutunoa ke tempul lun LEUM GOD.
10 And she was greatly distressed and prayed to the LORD, and wept uncontrollably.
Hannah el arulana supwar, ac el arulana tung ac pre nu sin LEUM GOD.
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."
Na el oru sie wulela na ku ac fahk, “LEUM GOD kulana, liyeyu, mwet kulansap lom! Liye mwe keok luk ac esamyu! Nikmet mulkinyula! Kom fin ase sie wen nutik, nga ac fah kisakunulot nu sum tuh elan sie mwet Nazirite in moul lal nufon. El ac fah tia nim wain ku kutena mwe nim ku, oayapa ac fah tiana kalkulla insifal.”
12 Now it happened, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli observed her mouth.
Hannah el pre ke pacl na loes se, ac Eli el ngetang liye oalul.
13 And she was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk.
Hannah el pre ke insial. Ngoasrol mukuikui a wangin pusracl, oru Eli el nunku mu Hannah el sruhi.
14 So Eli said to her, "How long will you make yourself drunk? Put away your wine, and go from before the LORD."
Ac Eli el fahk nu sel Hannah, “Kom ac sruhi nwe ngac? Tui. Nimet sifilpa nimnim.”
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.
Hannah el fahk, “Leum se, nga tia nimnim ac nga tia sruhi. Nga keoklana, ac nga pre ac asang ngunik nufon nu sin LEUM GOD ke mwe keok luk.
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."
Nikmet nunku mu nga sie mutan koluk. Nga pre ke sripen nunak keok lun insiuk.”
17 Then Eli answered, "Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of him."
Na Eli el fahk, “Som in misla, ac lela tuh God lun Israel Elan asot mwe siyuk lom an.”
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.
Ac Hannah el fahk, “Lela tuh kulang lom in ouinge nu sik pacl e nukewa.” Ouinge el som ac eis mwe mongo, ac el tia sifil toasr.
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.
Toangna in lotu tok ah Elkanah ac sou lal elos tukakek, ac tukun elos alu nu sin LEUM GOD, elos folokla nu lohm selos in acn Ramah. Elkanah el motul yorol Hannah, mutan kial, ac LEUM GOD El topuk pre lal Hannah.
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."
Na Hannah el pitutuyak ac el oswela sie wen. Ac el sang inel Samuel, ac fahk, “Mweyen nga tuh siyuk sin LEUM GOD kacl.”
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.
Ke sun pacl fal, Elkanah ac sou lal elos sifil som nu Shiloh in oru mwe kisa lal nu sin LEUM GOD oana ke el oru in yac nukewa, ac oayapa in kisakin ma el wulela kac.
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."
Tusruktu Hannah el tia wi som se ingan. El fahk nu sin mukul tumal, “Ke pacl se na ma tulik se inge liktitla, na nga fah usalla nu in lohm sin LEUM GOD, ac el ac fah mutana we in moul lal nufon.”
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.
Elkanah el fahk nu sel, “Oru oana kom nunku mu fal. Muta nwe ke kom liktitella tufah kom usalla. Ma se na, lela LEUM GOD Elan oru tuh kom in akpwayeye wulela lom.” Na Hannah el muta liyaung tulik sac nwe ke el liktitella.
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,
Ke tulik sac liktitla, Hannah el usalla nu Shiloh, wi cow mukul yac tolu matwa, ac sie pak in flao, ac sie pak orekla ke kulun kosro sessesla ke wain. El usal Samuel ke el srakna fusr, ac som nu in lohm sin LEUM GOD in acn Shiloh.
25 and he slaughtered the bull. And Hannah, the mother of the boy, brought him to Eli.
Ac ke elos uniya cow soko ah, elos usalla Samuel nu yorol Eli.
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.
Na Hannah el fahk nu sel Eli, “Leum se, ya kom esamyu? Nga pa mutan se kom tuh liye tu inse inge ac pre nu sin LEUM GOD.
27 For this child I prayed; and the LORD has given me my petition which I asked of him.
Nga tuh siyuk sel ke tulik se inge, na pa El ase ma nga siyuk sel.
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.
Ke ma inge nga kisakunulang nu sin LEUM GOD. El ac fah ma lun LEUM GOD in moul lal nufon.” Na elos alu nu sin LEUM GOD we.
