1 Samuel 2

1 Then Hannah prayed, saying, “I rejoice in [what] you, [, have done]. I am strong [MET] because I belong to you. I (laugh at/ridicule) my enemies, because you, Yahweh have rescued me [from being taunted by them].

At si Ana ay nanalangin, at nagsabi: Nagagalak ang aking puso sa Panginoon; Ang aking sungay ay pinalaki ng Panginoon; Binigyan ako ng bibig sa aking mga kaaway; Sapagka't ako'y nagagalak sa iyong pagliligtas.

2 There is no one who is holy like you, Yahweh. There is no other god like you. There is no one like you, our God, who can protect us [as though you were putting us beneath] a huge rock [where we can hide from danger].

Walang banal na gaya ng Panginoon; Sapagka't walang iba liban sa iyo, Ni may bato mang gaya ng aming Dios.

3 [You people who oppose God], stop boasting! Yahweh is a God who knows [everything], and he will evaluate/judge everyone’s actions. So don’t speak so arrogantly!

Huwag na kayong magsalita ng totoong kapalaluan; Huwag mabuka ang kahambugan sa inyong bibig; Sapagka't ang Panginoon ay Dios ng kaalaman, At sa pamamagitan niya'y sinusukat ang mga kilos.

4 Yahweh, you break the bows/weapons of mighty soldiers, and you give strength to those who stumble [because of being weak].

Ang mga busog ng mga makapangyarihang tao ay nasisira; At yaong nangatisod ay nabibigkisan ng kalakasan.

5 Many people who previously had plenty to eat, now have to work for other people [to earn money] to buy food, but many who were always hungry are not hungry any more. The woman who did not have any children before, now has given birth to many/seven children, and the woman who had many children before, now is very lonely [because they have all died].

Yaong mga busog ay nagpaupa dahil sa tinapay; At yaong mga gutom ay hindi na gutom: Oo, ang baog ay nanganak ng pito; At yaong may maraming anak ay nanghihina.

6 Yahweh, you cause some people to die, and you restore some people who are almost dead. For some people, [it seems that they will soon] go to where the dead people are, but you cause them to become healthy again. (Sheol h7585)

Ang Panginoo'y pumapatay, at bumubuhay: Siya ang nagbababa sa Sheol, at nagsasampa. (Sheol h7585)

7 Yahweh, you cause some people to be poor and you cause some people to be rich, you humble some people and you honor some people.

Ang Panginoo'y nagpapadukha at nagpapayaman: Siya ang nagpapababa, at siya rin naman ang nagpapataas.

8 [Sometimes] you lift poor people up so that they are no longer [despondent, sitting in the dust, ] or sitting on heaps of ashes; you cause them to sit next to princes; you cause them to sit on chairs/thrones where people who are highly honored sit. Yahweh, you are the one who laid the foundations of the earth, and you have set the whole world on those foundations.

Kaniyang ibinabangon ang dukha mula sa alabok, Kaniyang itinataas ang mapagkailangan mula sa dumihan, Upang sila'y palukluking kasama ng mga prinsipe, At magmana ng luklukan ng kaluwalhatian: Sapagka't ang mga haligi ng lupa ay sa Panginoon, At kaniyang ipinatong ang sanglibutan sa kanila.

9 You will protect your loyal/faithful people [SYN], but you will cause the wicked to die [EUP] and descend to the dark [place where dead people are]. We do not defeat [our enemies] by our own strength;

Kaniyang iingatan ang mga paa ng kaniyang mga banal; Nguni't ang masama ay patatahimikin sa mga kadiliman; Sapagka't sa pamamagitan ng kalakasan ay walang lalaking mananaig.

10 Yahweh, you will break into pieces those who oppose you. You will cause thunder in the sky to show that you (oppose/are angry with) them. Yahweh, you will judge [people everywhere, even those who live in] the most remote places on the earth. You will give strength to the king whom you will appoint, and give him great power [over his enemies].”

Yaong makipagkaalit sa Panginoon ay malalansag; Laban sa kanila'y kukulog siya mula sa langit: Ang Panginoon ang huhukom sa mga wakas ng lupa; At bibigyan niya ng kalakasan ang kaniyang hari, At palalakihin ang sungay ng kaniyang pinahiran ng langis.

11 Then Elkanah [and his family] returned to Ramah, but Samuel, the little boy, stayed to help Eli the priest serve Yahweh.

At si Elcana ay umuwi sa Ramatha sa kaniyang bahay. At ang bata'y nangangasiwa sa Panginoon sa harap ni Eli na saserdote.

12 Eli’s two [, who were also priests, ] were very wicked. They did not revere (OR, respect/obey) Yahweh.

Ngayo'y ang mga anak ni Eli ay mga hamak na lalake; hindi nila nakikilala ang Panginoon.

13 While the people were boiling the meat from their sacrifices [in the huge pot at the temple], one of Eli’s sons, [would send his servant to come with a large three-pronged fork in his hand].

At ang kaugalian ng mga saserdote sa bayan, ay, na pagka ang sinoma'y naghahandog ng hain, lumalapit ang bataan ng saserdote, samantalang ang laman ay niluluto, na may hawak sa kamay na pang-ipit na may tatlong ngipin;

14 [He] would stick the fork into [the meat in] the pot, and whatever meat fastened onto the fork, he would take [and give it] to the priest who sent him. Eli’s sons did this to all the Israeli people who came to Shiloh [to offer sacrifices].

At kaniyang dinuduro sa kawali, o sa kaldera, o sa kaldero, o sa palyok; at lahat ng nadadala ng pang-ipit ay kinukuha ng saserdote para sa kaniya. Gayon ang ginagawa nila sa Silo sa lahat ng mga Israelita na naparoroon.

15 Furthermore, before the fat [on the meat] was [cut off and] and burned [as a sacrifice to Yahweh], the servant of the priest would [sometimes] come to the man who was making the sacrifice and say to him, “Give me some meat [now to take] to the priest for him to roast! He wants raw meat; he does not want boiled meat.”

Oo, bago nila sunugin ang taba, ay lumalapit ang bataan ng saserdote, at sinasabi sa lalake na naghahain, Magbigay ka ng lamang maiihaw para sa saserdote, sapagka't hindi siya tatanggap sa iyo ng lamang luto, kundi hilaw.

16 If the man said to the servant, “Let the priests [cut off and] burn the fat first; then you can take what you want,” the servant would reply, “No, give it to me now; if you do not give it to me, I will take it forcefully!”

At kung sabihin ng lalake sa kaniya, Walang pagsalang kanila munang susunugin ang taba, at saka mo kunin kung gaano ang nasain ng iyong kaluluwa; kaniya ngang sinasabi, Hindi, kundi ibibigay mo sa akin ngayon: at kung hindi ay aking kukuning sapilitan.

17 Yahweh considered that the young [sons of Eli] were committing a very great sin, because they were treating very disrespectfully the offerings that were being given to Yahweh.

At ang kasalanan ng mga binatang yaon ay totoong malaki sa harap ng Panginoon; sapagka't niwawalan ng kabuluhan ng mga tao ang handog sa Panginoon.

18 As for Samuel, who was still a very young boy, he continued to do work for Yahweh, wearing a little sacred linen vest [like the Supreme Priest wore].

Nguni't si Samuel ay nangangasiwa sa harap ng Panginoon, sa bagay ay bata pa, na may bigkis na isang kayong linong epod.

19 Each year his mother made a [new] little robe for him and took it to him when she went up [to Shiloh] with her husband to offer a sacrifice.

Bukod sa rito'y iginagawa siya ng kaniyang ina ng isang munting balabal, at dinadala sa kaniya taon-taon, pagka siya'y umaahon na kasama ng kaniyang asawa upang maghandog ng hain sa taon-taon.

20 Then Eli would [ask God to] bless Elkanah and his wife, and he would say to Elkanah, “I hope/desire that Yahweh will enable your wife to give birth to other children, to take the place of the one whom she dedicated to Yahweh.” Then Elkanah and his family would return home.

At binasbasan ni Eli si Elcana at ang kaniyang asawa, at sinabi, Bigyan ka nawa ng Panginoon ng binhi sa babaing ito sa lugar ng hingi na kaniyang hiningi sa Panginoon. At sila'y umuwi sa kanilang sariling bahay.

21 And Yahweh was very kind to Hannah, and enabled her to give birth to three [other] sons and two daughters. Their son Samuel grew up while he was doing work for Yahweh [in the Sacred Tent].

At dinalaw ng Panginoon si Ana, at siya'y naglihi, at nagkaanak ng tatlong lalake at dalawang babae. At ang batang si Samuel ay lumalaki sa harap ng Panginoon.

22 Eli became very old. He often heard about all the [evil] things that his sons were doing to the Israeli people. He heard that they [sometimes] (slept with/had sex with) the women who worked at the entrance to the tent where [God] spoke to [his people].

Si Eli nga ay totoong matanda na; at kaniyang nababalitaan ang lahat ng ginagawa ng kaniyang mga anak sa buong Israel, at kung paanong sila'y sumisiping sa mga babae na naglilingkod sa pintuan ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan.

23 He said to them, “(It is terrible that you do such things!/Why do you do such things?) [RHQ] Many people keep telling me about the evil things that you do.

At sinabi niya sa kanila, Bakit ginagawa ninyo ang mga ganiyang bagay? sapagka't aking nababalitaan sa buong bayang ito ang inyong mga masamang kilos.

24 My sons, stop it! The reports [about you] that the people who belong to Yahweh tell others are terrible [EUP]!

Huwag, mga anak ko; sapagka't hindi mabuting balita ang aking naririnig: inyong pinasasalangsang ang bayan ng Panginoon.

25 If one person sins against another person, God can (intercede/act as a referee) between them. But if someone sins against Yahweh, no one can [RHQ] (intercede/act as a referee) between them!” But Eli’s sons would not listen to what their father said. This was because Yahweh had decided [that someone should] them.

Kung ang isang tao ay magkasala laban sa iba, ay hahatulan siya ng Dios; nguni't kung ang isang tao ay magkasala laban sa Panginoon, sino ang mamamagitan sa kaniya? Gayon ma'y hindi nila dininig ang tinig ng kanilang ama, sapagka't inakalang patayin sila ng Panginoon.

26 The boy Samuel continued to grow up, and the things that he did pleased Yahweh and the people.

At ang batang si Samuel ay lumalaki, at kinalulugdan ng Panginoon at ng mga tao rin naman.

27 One day, a prophet came to Eli and told him, “This is what Yahweh has told me: ‘When your ancestors were slaves of the king of Egypt, I appeared to Aaron.

At naparoon ang isang lalake ng Dios kay Eli, at sinabi sa kaniya, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Napakita ba ako ng hayag sa sangbahayan ng iyong ama, nang sila'y nasa Egipto sa pagkaalipin sa sangbahayan ni Faraon?

28 From all the tribes of the Israeli people, I chose him [and his male descendants] to be priests for me. I appointed them to go up to my altar, to burn incense, to wear a sacred apron [as they worked] for me. And I declared that they could take [and eat some of the meat] that the Israeli people burned [on the altar].

At pinili ko ba siya sa lahat ng mga lipi ng Israel upang maging saserdote ko, upang maghandog sa aking dambana, upang magsunog ng kamangyan, at upang magsuot ng epod sa harap ko? at ibinigay ko ba sa sangbahayan ng iyong ama ang lahat ng mga handog ng mga anak ni Israel na pinaraan sa apoy?

29 So why do you show disrespect for the sacrifices and offerings that I commanded [the people to bring] to me [RHQ]? You are honoring your sons more than you are honoring me, by allowing them to get fat from eating the best parts of all the sacrifices that the Israeli people bring to me!’

Bakit nga kayo'y tumututol sa aking hain at sa aking handog, na aking iniutos sa aking tahanan, at iyong pinararangalan ang iyong mga anak ng higit kaysa akin, upang kayo'y magpakataba sa mga pinakamainam sa lahat ng mga handog ng Israel na aking bayan?

30 “Therefore, this is what Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], declares: ‘I definitely promised that Aaron and his descendants would continue to serve [IDM] me forever.’ But now I declare this: ‘It will not continue like that! I will honor those who honor me, but I will despise those who despise me.

Kaya't sinasabi ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel, Aking sinabi nga na ang iyong sangbahayan, at ang sangbahayan ng iyong ama, ay lalakad sa harap ko magpakailan man: nguni't sinasabi ngayon ng Panginoon, Malayo sa akin; sapagka't yaong mga nagpaparangal sa akin ay aking pararangalin, at yaong mga humahamak sa akin ay mawawalan ng kabuluhan.

31 Listen carefully! There will soon be a time when I will cause all the strong [young men] in your family to die. The result will be that no men in your family will [live long enough to] become old men.

Narito, ang mga araw ay dumarating, na aking ihihiwalay ang iyong bisig, at ang bisig ng sangbahayan ng iyong ama, upang huwag magkaroon ng matanda sa iyong sangbahayan.

32 You will be distressed and envious as you see the blessings that I will give to [the other people in] Israel. And [I repeat that] no men in your family will ever live long enough to become old men.

At iyong mamasdan ang kadalamhatian sa aking tahanan, sa buong kayamanan na ibibigay ng Dios sa Israel; at mawawalan ng matanda sa iyong sangbahayan magpakailan man.

33 There is one of your descendants whom I will spare, and not prevent him from serving me as a priest. But he will become blind, and then he will always be sad and grieving. But all your other descendants will die violently.

At ang lalaking iyo, na hindi ko ihihiwalay sa aking dambana, ay magiging upang lunusin ang iyong mga mata at papanglawin ang iyong puso; at ang madlang mararagdag sa iyong sangbahayan ay mamamatay sa kanilang kabataan.

34 And your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, will both die on the same day. And that will prove to you [that all that I have said will come true/happen].

At ito ang magiging tanda sa iyo, na darating sa iyong dalawang anak, kay Ophni at kay Phinees: sa isang araw, sila'y kapuwa mamamatay.

35 ‘have chosen another man to be my priest. He is one who will serve me faithfully: He will do everything I want [DOU] him to do. And I will enable him to have many descendants [IDM] who will be priests and will always serve me by helping the king whom I will choose.

At ako'y magbabangon para sa akin ng isang tapat na saserdote, na gagawa ng ayon sa nasa aking puso at nasa aking pagiisip: at ipagtatayo ko siya ng panatag na sangbahayan; at siya'y lalakad sa harap ng aking pinahiran ng langis, magpakailan man.

36 All of your descendants who remain alive will have to go to that priest and ask him to give them money and food, and they will each have to say, “Please allow me to help the other priests, in order that I may [earn some money to] buy some food.”’”

At mangyayari, na bawa't isa na naiwan sa iyong sangbahayan, ay paroroon at yuyukod sa kaniya dahil sa isang putol na pilak at sa isang putol na tinapay, at magsasabi, Isinasamo ko sa iyong ilagay mo ako sa isa sa mga katungkulang pagkasaserdote, upang makakain ako ng isang subong tinapay.
