< 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.
Namicha biyya gaara Efreem keessa Raamaatayiim Zoofiim jiraatu kan maqaan isaa Elqaanaa jedhamu tokkotu ture; innis ilma Yeroohaam, ilma Eliihuu, ilma Toohuu, ilma Zuufi, ilma Naasiib ture.
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.
Innis niitii lama qaba ture; maqaan ishee tokko Haannaa, kaan immoo Pheniinaa jedhama ture. Pheniinaan ijoollee qabdi; Haannaan garuu ijoollee tokko illee hin qabdu ture.
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.
Elqaanaan wagguma waggaadhaan Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuuf aarsaa dhiʼeessuu fi sagaduudhaaf magaalaa jiraatuu kaʼee gara Shiilootti ol baʼa ture. Achittis ilmaan Eelii lamaan Hofniinii fi Fiinehaas luboota Waaqayyoo turan.
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.
Yommuu guyyaan itti Elqaanaan aarsaa dhiʼeessu gaʼutti inni niitii isaa Pheniinaa, ilmaan isaatii fi intallan isaa hundaaf foon sana irraa qooda isaanii ni kenna ture.
5 But to Hannah he would give a double portion because he loved Hannah. Now YHWH had kept her from conceiving.
Inni sababii Haannaa jaallatuuf qooda harka lama isheedhaaf kenna ture; Waaqayyo garuu gadameessa ishee cufee ture.
6 And because YHWH kept her from conceiving, her rival used to taunt her severely, to irritate her.
Sababii Waaqayyo gadameessa Haannaa cufeef masaanuun ishee akka isheen aartuuf ishee tuttuqaa turte.
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.
Kunis wagguma waggaadhaan itti fufe. Yeroo Haannaan gara mana Waaqayyootti ol baatutti masaanuun ishee, ishee tuttuqaa turte; kanaafuu Haannaan ni boossi, nyaatas hin nyaattu turte.
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?"
Dhirsi ishee Elqaanaanis, “Haannaa ati maaliif boossa? Maaliif hin nyaattu? Garaan kee maaliif gaddaa? Ani ilmaan kudhan siif hin caaluu?” Isheen jedha ture.
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.
Gaafa tokko isaan Shiilootti erga nyaatanii dhuganii booddee Haannaan ol kaatee dhaabate. Eeliin lubichi dhaaba balbala mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo bira barcuma irra taaʼaa ture.
10 And she was greatly distressed and prayed to YHWH, and wept uncontrollably.
Haannaanis guddaa gadditee hiqqifatee booʼuudhaan Waaqayyoon kadhatte.
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."
Akkanas jettee wareegde; “Yaa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandeessu, yoo ati dhiphina garbittii keetii ilaaltee na yaadatte, yoo ati garbittii kee dagachuu baattee ilma naa kennite ani bara jireenya isaa guutuu isa Waaqayyoof nan kenna; qarabaan tokko iyyuu mataa isaa hin tuqu.”
12 Now it happened, as she continued praying before YHWH, that Eli observed her mouth.
Yeroo Haannaan ittuma fuftee fuula Waaqayyoo duratti kadhachaa turtettis Eeliin afaan ishee ilaalaa ture.
13 And she was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk.
Haannaanis garaa isheetti kadhachaa turte; hidhii isheetu sochoʼa malees sagaleen ishee hin dhagaʼamu ture. Kanaafuu Eeliin waan isheen machoofte seʼee,
14 So Eli said to her, "How long will you make yourself drunk? Put away your wine, and go from before YHWH."
“Ati hamma yoomiitti machoofta? Daadhii wayinii kee of irraa fageessi” jedheen.
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.
Haannaanis akkana jettee deebifte; “Lakki akkas miti; yaa gooftaa ko, ani dubartii akka malee dhiphatee dha. Ani lubbuu koo fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhangalaase malee daadhii wayinii yookaan dhugaatii nama macheessu hin dhugne.
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."
Ati garbittii kee akka dubartii faayidaa hin qabne tokkootti hin ilaalin. Ani sababii dhiphinaa fi gadda koo guddaa sanaatiif hamma ammaatti kadhachaara.”
17 Then Eli answered, "Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of him."
Eeliinis, “Nagaan deemi; Waaqni Israaʼel waan ati kadhatte siif haa kennu” jedhee deebiseef.
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.
Isheenis, “Garbittiin kee fuula kee duratti surraa haa argattu” jette. Ergasiis deemsa ishee itti fufte; nyaata ni nyaatte; gaddis fuula ishee irratti hin mulʼanne.
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.
Isaanis guyyaa itti aanu ganama barii kaʼanii fuula Waaqayyoo duratti sagadanii gara mana isaanii Raamaatti deebiʼan. Elqaanaan niitii isaa Haannaa bira gaʼe; Waaqayyos ishee yaadate.
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."
Haannaan ulfooftee yeroon isaa geenyaan ilma deesse. Maqaa isaas, “Ani Waaqayyo irraa isa kadhadheeraatii” jettee Saamuʼeel jettee moggaafte.
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.
Elqaanaan warra mana isaa jiraatan hunda wajjin Waaqayyoof aarsaa waggaa dhiʼeessuu fi wareega isaa galchuuf ol baʼe;
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."
Haannaan garuu hin dhaqne. Isheenis dhirsa isheetiin, “Erga mucaan kun harma guʼee booddee ani isa geesseen fuula Waaqayyoo duratti isa dhiʼeessa; innis jireenya isaa guutuu achuma jiraata” jette.
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.
Dhirsi ishee Elqaanaanis, “Waanuma jaallatte godhi; ati hamma harma isa guusiftutti asuma turi; Waaqayyo garuu dubbii isaa fiixaan haa baasu” jedheen. Kanaafuu dubartittiin mana turtee hamma harma isa guusiftutti ilma ishee hoosifte.
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,
Ishee erga mucicha harma guusiftee booddee mucichaa fi dibicha loonii kan umuriin isaa waggaa sadii taʼe, daakuu iifii tokkoo fi daadhii wayinii qalqalloo tokko fudhattee gara Shiiloo gara mana Waaqayyootti fidde. Mucichis daaʼima ture.
25 and he slaughtered the bull. And Hannah, the mother of the boy, brought him to Eli.
Isaanis dibicha sana qalanii mucicha gara Eeliitti fidan;
26 She said, "Oh, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to YHWH.
isheenis akkana jetteen; “Yaa gooftaa ko, duʼa lubbuu keetii ti; dubartiin as si bira dhaabattee Waaqayyoon kadhachaa turte sun anuma.
27 For this child I prayed; and YHWH has given me my petition which I asked of him.
Ani mucaa kana argachuuf kadhadheera; Waaqayyos waan ani isa kadhadhe naaf kenneera.
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.
Kanaafuu ani amma Waaqayyoofan isa kenna. Bara jireenya isaa guutuu Waaqayyoof ni kennama.” Isaanis achitti Waaqayyoof sagadan.
