< 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.
Na tera tetahi tangata no Ramataima Topimi, no te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima, ko Erekana tona ingoa, he Eparati, he tama na Iorohama, tama a Erihu, tama a Tohu, tama a Tupu:
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.
A tokorua ana wahine; ko Hana te ingoa o tetahi, ko Penina te ingoa o tetahi: na he tamariki a Penina, kahore ia he tamariki a Hana.
3 This man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to YHWH of hosts in Shiloh. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests of YHWH, were there.
A haere atu ai tenei tangata i ia tau, i ia tau, i tona pa ki te koropiko, ki te patu whakahere ki a Ihowa o nga mano, ki Hiro. A i reira nga tama tokorua a Eri, a Hoponi raua ko Pinehaha, nga tohunga a Ihowa.
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.
A, ka tae ki te ra i patu whakahere ai a Erekana, na, hoatu ana e ia etahi mea ki a Penina, ki tana wahine, ki ana tama katoa ano, ratou ko ana tamahine:
5 But to Hannah he would give a double portion because he loved Hannah. Now YHWH had kept her from conceiving.
Ki tana wahine ia, ki a Hana, e rua nga wahi i hoatu e ia; i aroha hoki ia ki a Hana; otiia kua oti tona kopu te tutaki e Ihowa.
6 And because YHWH kept her from conceiving, her rival used to taunt her severely, to irritate her.
A nui atu te whakatoia a tona hoa tauwhainga ki a ia, a mamae noa ia, no te mea kua tutakina tona kopu e Ihowa.
7 And this went on year after year, as often as she went up to the house of YHWH, she taunted her; therefore she would weep and refuse to eat.
Pena tonu ta te tane mahi, i ia tau, i ia tau, i nga haerenga o tenei ki runga, ki te whare o Ihowa, a pena tonu ta tera whakatoi i tenei; a tangi noa ia, kihai hoki i kai.
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?"
Na ka mea tana tahu, e Erekana ki a ia, E Hana, he aha koe i tangi ai? he aha hoki koe te kai ia? he aha ano i pouri ai tou ngakau? ki tau e kore ianei e nui atu toku pai i to nga tama kotahi tekau?
9 So Hannah got up after eating and drinking in Shiloh, and stood before YHWH. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the temple of YHWH.
Heoi ka whakatika a Hana i muri i a ratou i kai ai i Hiro, i inu ai hoki. Na ko Eri, ko te tohunga, i runga i tona nohoanga noho ai, i te pou o te kuwaha o te temepara o Ihowa.
10 And she was greatly distressed and prayed to YHWH, and wept uncontrollably.
A i tino pouri te ngakau o tera, ka inoi ki a Ihowa, a nui atu tana tangi.
11 And she vowed a vow and said, "YHWH 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 ka puaki tana ki taurangi, i mea ia, E Ihowa o nga mano, ki te ata titiro mai koe ki te pouri o tau pononga wahine, a ka mahara ki ahau, a e kore e wareware ki tau pononga, engari ka homai i tetahi tama ki tau pononga, na, ka hoatu ia e ahau ki a Ihowa i nga ra katoa e ora ai ia; e kore ano he heu e heua ki tona matenga.
12 Now it happened, as she continued praying before YHWH, that Eli observed her mouth.
Na, i te mea e inoi tonu ana ia i te aroaro o Ihowa, ka titiro a Eri ki tona waha.
13 And she was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk.
Na ko Hana, e korero ana ia i roto i tona ngakau; ko ona ngutu kau e komeme ana, kihai ia tona reo i rangona: na reira i mea ai a Eri e haurangi ana ia.
14 So Eli said to her, "How long will you make yourself drunk? Put away your wine, and go from before YHWH."
Na ka mea a Eri ki a ia, Ka tae te roa o tou haurangi! Whakarerea atu tau waina.
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 YHWH.
Na ka utua e Hana, ka mea, Kahore, e toku ariki; he wahine ngakau pouri ahau: kahore ahau i inu i te waina, i te wai whakahaurangi ranei; engari e ringihia ana e ahau toku ngakau ki te aroaro o Ihowa.
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."
Kaua tau pononga e kiia he tamahine na Periara: na te nui hoki o toku mamae, o toku pouri, enei korero aku.
17 Then Eli answered, "Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of him."
Katahi ka utua e Eri, ka mea ia, Haere marie: a ma te Atua o Iharaira e homai tau mea i inoi ai koe ki a ia.
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.
Na ka mea tera, Kia manakohia tau pononga e koe. Katahi taua wahine ka haere, ka kai, a mutu ake te pouri o tona mata.
19 They rose up in the morning early, and worshiped before YHWH, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and YHWH remembered her.
Na ka maranga wawe ratou i te ata, a ka koropiko ki te aroaro o Ihowa, a hoki ana, haere ana ki to ratou whare i Rama. Na ka mohio a Erekana ki a Hana, ki tana wahine; i mahara ano a Ihowa ki a ia.
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 YHWH."
Na, ka taka nga ra, ka hapu a Hana, a ka whanau he tama; a huaina iho e ia tona ingoa ko Hamuera, i mea hoki, No te mea i inoia ia e ahau i a Ihowa.
21 The man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to YHWH the yearly sacrifice, and to redeem his vow and all the tithes of his land.
Na ka haere taua tangata a Erekana me tona whare katoa ki runga, ki te patu i te whakahere o te tau ki a Ihowa, me tana ki taurangi hoki.
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 YHWH, and stay there forever."
Ko Hana ia kihai i haere; i mea hoki ki tana tahu, Kia whakamutua ra ano te kai u a te tamaiti, ko reira ahau kawe atu ai i a ia, kia puta ai ia ki te aroaro o Ihowa, mo tona noho tonu atu ki reira.
23 Elkanah her husband said to her, "Do what seems good in your eyes. Wait until you have weaned him; only may YHWH establish what you have said." So the woman waited and nursed her son, until she weaned him.
Na ka mea a Erekana tana tahu ki a ia, Meatia ta tou whakaaro e whakapai ai; e noho, kia whakamutua ra ano tana kai u; otiia kia mau te kupu a Ihowa. Heoi, noho ana taua wahine, whakangotea ana tana tama, a mutu noa tana kai u.
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 YHWH in Shiloh, and the boy was with them. And they went before YHWH and his father slaughtered the sacrifice, which he did annually to YHWH. Then he brought the boy,
Na, i te mutunga o tana kai u, ka mauria ia e ia, me etahi puru e toru, kotahi hoki te epa paraoa, me te pounamu waina, kawea ana ia e ia ki te whare o Ihowa, ki Hiro: he tamariki rawa hoki taua tamaiti.
25 and he slaughtered the bull. And Hannah, the mother of the boy, brought him to Eli.
Na patua ana e ratou te puru, a kawea ana te tamaiti ki a Eri.
26 She said, "Oh, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to YHWH.
A ka mea ia, E toku ariki, kia ora tou wairua; e toku ariki, ko ahau te wahine i tu i tou taha i konei nei, i inoi ra ki a Ihowa.
27 For this child I prayed; and YHWH has given me my petition which I asked of him.
Ko tenei tamaiti taku i inoi ai; a homai ana e Ihowa ki ahau taku mea i inoi ai ahau ki a ia:
28 Therefore also I have lent him to YHWH. As long as he lives he is lent to YHWH." Then she left him there, and she worshipped before YHWH.
Na reira kua tukua atu nei ia e ahau ki a Ihowa; he mea tuku ia ki a Ihowa i nga ra katoa e ora ai ia. A koropiko ana te tamaiti ki a Ihowa ki reira.
