1 Samuel 1
1 Now there was a certain man of Ramathaimzophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite:
Te gen yon nonm, moun branch fanmi Efrayim, ki te rele Elkana. Li te rete lavil Rama nan mòn peyi Efrayim. Se te pitit Jewokam, pitit pitit Eliyou, nan fanmi Tokou, nan branch fanmi Zouf la.
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.
Elkana te gen de madanm, yonn te rele Ana, lòt la te rele Penina. Penina te fè pitit pou li. Men, Ana pa t' gen pitit.
3 And this man went up from his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, were there.
Chak lanne, Elkana soti lavil Rama, li moute lavil Silo pou l' al fè sèvis pou Seyè ki gen tout pou vwa a, pou l' touye bèt pou li. Se de pitit Eli yo, Ofni ak Fineas, ki te prèt Seyè a lavil Silo.
4 And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:
Chak fwa Elkana te ofri bèt pou Seyè a, li te toujou pran yon pòsyon pou Penina, yon pòsyon pou chak pitit fi ak pitit gason li yo.
5 But to Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had closed up her womb.
Men, li te bay Ana yon pòsyon doub, paske li te renmen l' anpil, atout Seyè a pa t' ba li pitit.
6 And her adversary also provoked her greatly, to make her fret, because the LORD had closed up her womb.
Penina menm te toujou ap giyonnen Ana pou fè l' wont, paske Seyè a pa t' ba li pitit.
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.
Sa kontinye konsa chak lanne pandan lontan. Chak fwa yo te moute ale nan tanp Seyè a, Penina gen pou anbete Ana jouk li fè l' fache. Lè konsa, Ana menm rete ap kriye, li pa vle manje anyen.
8 Then said Elkanah her husband to 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?
Elkana, mari li, di l' konsa: -Aa, machè! Poukisa w'ap plede kriye konsa? Poukisa ou pa manje? Poukisa ou kagou konsa? Ou genyen m', se tankou si ou te genyen depase dis pitit gason.
9 So Hannah rose after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD.
Yon lè yo te lavil Silo, apre yo te fin manje, yo te fin bwè, Ana leve. Eli, prèt la, te chita sou chèz li bò pòtay Tanp Seyè a.
10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD, and wept bitterly.
Ana te gen anpil lapenn. Li t'ap lapriyè nan pye Seyè a, dlo t'ap koule nan je l'.
11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thy handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thy handmaid, but wilt give to thy handmaid a son, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.
Li fè Seyè a yon pwomès, li di l' konsa: -Seyè, ou menm ki gen tout pouvwa a, tanpri voye je ou sou sèvant ou a non! Gade lapenn mwen! Si ou pa bliye m', si ou ban m' yon pitit gason, m'ap mete l' apa pou li viv pou ou ase. Li p'ap janm koupe cheve nan tèt li.
12 And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli observed her mouth.
Pandan tout tan Ana t'ap lapriyè konsa devan Seyè a, Eli t'ap gade bouch li.
13 Now Hannah, spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she was drunk.
Men, Ana t'ap lapriyè nan kè l'. Se bouch li ase ki t'ap bat, konsa moun pa t' ka tande sa l'ap di a. Lè sa a, Eli te konprann se sou li te sou.
14 And Eli said to her, How long wilt thou be drunk? put away thy wine from thee.
Li di l' konsa: -Kilè w'a sispann bwè jouk pou ou sou konsa? Soti al desoule ou yon lòt kote!
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 have poured out my soul before the LORD.
Ana reponn li: -Se pa sou mwen sou non, mèt! Mwen pa goute ni diven ni ankenn lòt bweson. Se nan gwo lapenn mwen ye. Se louvri m'ap louvri kè m' bay Seyè a. Se rakonte m'ap rakonte Seyè a lapenn mwen.
16 Count not thy handmaid for a wicked woman: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I been speaking.
Tanpri, mèt! Pa pran m' pou yon fanm lib! Kifè m'ap pale konsa, se paske mwen nan gwo tèt chaje. Chagren ap touye m'.
17 Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him.
Lè sa a, Eli reponn li: -Ale ak kè poze. Mwen mande Bondye pèp Izrayèl la pou l' ba ou sa ou mande l' la.
18 And she said, Let thy handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and ate, and her countenance was no more sad.
Ana reponn li: -M' espere ou p'ap janm bliye m'! Epi li leve, l' al fè wout li. Li manje. Depi lè sa a, li pa t' menm moun lan ankò.
19 And they rose 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.
Nan denmen maten, Elkana leve byen bonè ak tout fanmi li, yo adore Seyè a. Apre sa, yo tounen lakay yo lavil Rama. Elkama kouche ak Ana, madanm li. Epi, Seyè a fè pou Ana sa li te mande l' la.
20 Therefore it came to pass, when the time had arrived after Hannah had conceived, that she bore a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the LORD.
Se konsa Ana vin ansent. Lè lè a rive pou l' akouche, li fè yon pitit gason. Li rele l' Samyèl, paske li te di: Mwen te mande Seyè a li.
21 And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.
Apre sa, Elkana moute lavil Silo ansanm ak tout fanmi li yo pou yo te ka fè ofrann yo gen pou yo fè chak lanne bay Seyè a, ansanm ak ofrann espesyal yo te fè ve bay Seyè a.
22 But Hannah went not up; for she said to her husband, I will not go up until the child is weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide for ever.
Men Ana pa t' ale. Li di mari l' konsa: -Fini m'a fin sevre pitit la, m'a mennen l' nan Tanp Seyè a kote li pral rete pou tout tan.
23 And Elkanah her husband said to her, Do what seemeth to thee good; tarry until thou hast weaned him; only the LORD establish his word. So the woman abode, and nursed her son until she weaned him.
Elkana, mari li, di l': -Fè sa ou wè ki pi bon an. Rete non jouk w'a fin sevre l'. Tansèlman, se pou Seyè a fè sa li te di a rive vre. Se konsa Ana rete pou l' pran swen ti bebe a jouk li sevre l'.
24 And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him to the house of the LORD in Shiloh: and the child was young.
Apre li fin sevre pitit la, li mennen l' lavil Silo. Li te pran avè l' yon ti towo bèf twazan, yon barik farin, yon sak an po bèt plen diven. Li mennen ti gason an nan tanp Seyè a, lavil Silo, atout li te tou piti toujou.
25 And they slew a bull, and brought the child to Eli.
Yo touye ti towo a, epi yo mennen ti gason an bay Eli.
26 And she said, O my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying to the LORD.
Ana di l': -Eskize m' wi, mèt. Ou pa chonje ki moun mwen ye? Menm jan ou vivan an, se mwen menm fanm ou te wè ki te kanpe bò kote ou la yon jou ap lapriyè Seyè a.
27 For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him:
Mwen te mande l' pou l' te ban mwen pitit gason sa a. Li ban mwen sa m' te mande l' la.
28 Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the LORD. And he worshipped the LORD there.
Se konsa m' vin mete l' apa pou l' ka viv pou Seyè a ase jouk li mouri. Apre sa, yo adore Seyè a la nan tanp lan.
