1 Samuel 1
1 Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim, of the hill country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite:
एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशको सूपीहरूका रामतैमबाट आएका एक जना मानिस थिए । तिनी एफ्राइमी सूपका जनाति तोहूको पनाति एलीहूको नाति यरोहामका छोरा एल्काना थिए ।
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.
तिनका दुई वटी पत्नीहरू थिए । पहिलोको नाउँ हन्नाह र दोस्रोको नाउँ पनिन्नाह थियो । पनिन्नाहका छोराछोरी थिए तर हन्नाहका थिएन ।
3 And this man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice unto the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests unto the LORD, were there.
यिनी आफ्नो सहरबाट सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको निम्ति बलिदान चढाउन र आरधना गर्न हरेक वर्ष शीलोमा जन्थे । त्यहाँ एलीका दुई जना छोराहरू होप्नी र पीनहास परमप्रभुका पुजारीहरू थिए ।
4 And when the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters portions:
जब एल्कानाले हरेक वर्षझैं बलिदान गर्ने समय आयो, तिनले सदैव तिनकी पत्नी पनिन्नाह र तिनका सबै छोरा र छोरीलाई मासुको भागहरू दिन्थे ।
5 but unto Hannah he gave a double portion: for he loved Hannah, but the LORD had shut up her womb.
तर तिनले हन्नाहलाई सदैव दोब्बर भाग दिन्थे, किनभने तिनले उनलाई माया गर्थे, यद्यपि परमप्रभुले उनको गर्भ बन्द गर्नुभएको थियो ।
6 And her rival provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb.
उनको सौताले उनलाई रिस उठाउनलाई उनलाई साह्रै चिढ्याउँथिन्, किनभने परमप्रभुले उनको गर्भ बन्द गर्नुभएको थियो ।
7 And [as] he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.
त्यसैले वर्षै पिच्छे, उनी आफ्नो परिवारसँग परमप्रभुको भवनमा जाँदा उनको सौताले तिनलाई सदैव चिढ्याउँथिन् । यसकारण, उनी रुन्थिन् र केही पनि खाँदैनथिन् ।
8 And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sons?
उनका पति एल्कानाले सदैव उनलाई भन्थे,”ए हन्नाह, तिमी किन रुन्छ्यौ? तिमी किन खाँदिनौ? तिम्रो हृदय किन यति धेरै निराश हुन्छ? के म तिम्रो निम्ति दस जना छोराभन्दा उत्तम छैन र?”
9 So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon his seat by the door post of the temple of the LORD.
यि अवसरमध्ये एकपल्ट तिनीहरूले शीलोमा खाने र पिउने काम सकेपछि हन्नाह उठिन् । यति बेला पुजारी एली परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको ढोकामा आफ्नो आसनमा बसिरहेका थिए ।
10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore.
उनी अति नै व्याकुल भएकी थिइन् । उनले परमप्रभुसँग प्रार्थना गरिन् र धुरुधुरु रोइन् ।
11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.
उनले भाकल गरिन् र भनिन्, “हे सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु, तपाईंले आफ्नी दासीको वेदनालाई हेर्नुहुन्छ, मलाई याद गर्नुहुन्छ र आफ्नो दासीलाई बिर्सनुहुन्न, तर तपाईंको दासीलाई एउटा छोरा दिनुहुन्छ भने, उसको सम्पूर्ण जीवनभरि म उसलाई परमप्रभुको निम्ति दिनेछु र उसको शिरमा कुनै छुराले कदापि छुनेछैन ।”
12 And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli marked her mouth.
उनले परमप्रभुको सामु प्रार्थना गरिरहँदा एलीले तिनको मुखलाई हेरे ।
13 Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.
हन्नाह आफ्नो हृदयमा बोलिन् । उनका ओठहरू चले, तर उनको सोर सुनिएन । यसकारण, उनी मद्यले मातेकी थिइन् भनी एलीले विचार गरे ।
14 And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.
एलीले उनलाई भने, “तिमी कहिलेसम्म मद्यले मातिरहन्छ्यौ? आफ्नो मद्यको आदत छोडिदेऊ।”
15 And Hannah answered and said, 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.
हन्नाहले जवाफ दिईन्, “होइन, मेरा मालिक, म दुःखी आत्मा भएको स्त्री हुँ । मैले न दाखमद्य न त कडा मद्य नै पिएकी छु, तर मैले परमप्रभुको सामु मेरो मनको दुःख खन्याइरहेकी छु ।
16 Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation have I spoken hitherto.
हजूकी दासीलाई एउटी निर्लज्ज स्त्री भएकी विचार नगर्नुहोस् । ठुलो चिन्ता र धेरै अपमानले गर्दा म बोलिरहेकी छु ।”
17 Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thy petition that thou hast asked of him.
तब एलीले जवाफ दिए र भने, “शान्तिसँग जाऊ । इस्राएलका परमेश्वरसँग तिमीले गरेकी बिन्तीको जावफ उहाँले तिमीलाई देऊन् ।”
18 And she said, Let thy servant find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more [sad].
उनले भनिन्, “तपाईंकी दासीलाई तपाईंको नजरमा कृपा मिलोस् ।” अनि ती स्त्री गईन् र खाइन् । उनको अनुहार फेरि कहिल्यै निराश भएन ।
19 And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.
तिनीहरू बिहान सबेरै उठे र परमप्रभुको आराधना गरे, अनि तिनीहरू फेरि रामामा भएको आफ्नो घरमा फर्के । आफ्नो पत्नी हन्नाहसँग एल्कनाले सहवास गरे र परमप्रभुले उनलाई याद गर्नुभयो ।
20 And it came to pass, when the time was come about, that Hannah conceived, and bare a son; and she called his name Samuel, [saying], Because I have asked him of the LORD.
जब समय आयो, तब हन्नाहले गर्भ धारण गरिन् र एउटा छोरा जन्माइन् । उनले उसको नाउँ शमूएल राखिन्, किनकि उनले भनिन्, “किनभने मैले यसलाई परमप्रभुसँग मागेकी हुँ।”
21 And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer unto the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.
फेरि एकपल्ट, एल्काना र तिनका सबै घराना वर्षै पिच्छेको बलिदान परमप्रभुलाई चढाउन र आफ्नो भाकल पुरा गर्न गए ।
22 But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, [I will not go up] until the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide for ever.
तर हन्नाह गइनन् । उनले आफ्नो पतिलाई यसो भनेकी थिइन्, “बालकले दूध नछोडेसम्म म जानेछैनँ । त्यसपछि म उसलाई लानेछु, ताकि ऊ परमप्रभुको सामु देखा परोस् र सदासर्वदा त्यहीं बसोस् ।”
23 And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only the LORD establish his word. So the woman tarried and gave her son suck, until she weaned him.
उनका पति एल्कानाले उनलाई भने, “तिमीलाई जे असल लाग्छ सो गर । उसले दूध नछोडेसम्म पर्ख । परमप्रभुले आफ्नो वचन मात्र पुरा गर्नुभएको होस् ।” यसैले ती स्त्री बसिन् र उनको छोराले दूध नछोडेसम्म उसलाई दूध खुवाइन् ।
24 And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of meal, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the LORD in Shiloh: and the child was young.
जब उनले उसलाई दूध छोडाइन्, तब उनले तिन वर्षे साँढे, पाँच पाथी पिठो, एक मशक दाखमद्यको साथमा उसलाई आफूसँगै लिएर गइन्, अनि उसलाई शीलो भएकोमा परमप्रभुको भवनमा ल्याइन् । यति बेला त्यो बालक सानै थियो ।
25 And they slew the bullock, and brought the child to Eli.
तिनीहरूले साँढेलाई मारे र बलकलाई एलीकहाँ ल्याए ।
26 And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD.
उनले भनिन्, “हे मेरो मालिक, मेरो मालिक जीवित हुनुभएझैं, यहाँ तपाईंको छेउमा खडा भएर प्रार्थना गर्ने स्त्री म नै हुँ ।
27 For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him:
यही बलकको निम्ति मैले प्रार्थना गरें र मैले परमप्रभुमा गरेको बन्ती सुनेर उहाँले मलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो ।
28 wherefore I also have granted him to the LORD; as long as he liveth he is granted to the LORD. And he worshipped the LORD there.
मैले उसलाई परमप्रभुमा अर्पण गरेको छु, ऊ जीवित रहेसम्म उसलाई परमप्रभुमा दिइएको छ ।” तब तिनीहरूले त्यहाँ परमप्रभुको आराधना गरे ।
