1 Samuel 2
1 Hannah prayed, and said, “My heart exults in the LORD! My horn is exalted in the LORD. My mouth is enlarged over my enemies, because I rejoice in your salvation.
Hana sì gbàdúrà pé, “Ọkàn mi yọ̀ sí Olúwa; ìwo agbára mi ni a sì gbé sókè sí Olúwa. Ẹnu mi sì gbòòrò lórí àwọn ọ̀tá mi, nítorí ti èmi yọ̀ ni ìgbàlà rẹ̀.
2 There is no one as holy as the LORD, for there is no one besides you, nor is there any rock like our God.
“Kò sí ẹni tí ó mọ́ bi Olúwa; kò sí ẹlòmíràn bí kò ṣe ìwọ; kò sì sí àpáta bi Ọlọ́run wa.
3 “Don’t keep talking so exceedingly proudly. Don’t let arrogance come out of your mouth, for the LORD is a God of knowledge. By him actions are weighed.
“Má ṣe halẹ̀; má ṣe jẹ́ kí ìgbéraga ti ẹnu yín jáde nítorí pé Ọlọ́run olùmọ̀ ni Olúwa, láti ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ wá ni a ti ń wọn ìwà.
4 “The bows of the mighty men are broken. Those who stumbled are armed with strength.
“Ọ̀run àwọn alágbára ti ṣẹ́, àwọn tí ó ṣe aláìlera ni a fi agbára dì ní àmùrè.
5 Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread. Those who were hungry are satisfied. Yes, the barren has borne seven. She who has many children languishes.
Àwọn tí ó yọ̀ fún oúnjẹ ti fi ara wọn ṣe alágbàṣe, àwọn tí ebi ń pa kò sì ṣe aláìní. Tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí àgàn fi bí méje. Ẹni tí ó bímọ púpọ̀ sì di aláìlágbára.
“Olúwa pa ó sì sọ di ààyè; ó mú sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí isà òkú, ó sì gbé dìde. (Sheol h7585)
7 The LORD makes poor and makes rich. He brings low, he also lifts up.
Olúwa sọ di tálákà; ó sì sọ di ọlọ́rọ̀; ó rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, ó sì gbé sókè.
8 He raises up the poor out of the dust. He lifts up the needy from the dunghill to make them sit with princes and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s. He has set the world on them.
Ó gbé tálákà sókè láti inú erùpẹ̀ wá, ó gbé alágbe sókè láti orí òkìtì eérú wá, láti mú wọn jókòó pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ-aládé, láti mu wọn jogún ìtẹ́ ògo, “Nítorí pé ọ̀wọ́n ayé ti Olúwa ni, ó sì ti gbé ayé ka orí wọn.
9 He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness; for no man will prevail by strength.
Yóò pa ẹsẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ rẹ̀ mọ́, àwọn ènìyàn búburú ni yóò dákẹ́ ní òkùnkùn. “Nípa agbára kò sí ọkùnrin tí yóò borí.
10 Those who strive with the LORD shall be broken to pieces. He will thunder against them in the sky. “The LORD will judge the ends of the earth. He will give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.”
A ó fọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá Olúwa túútúú; láti ọ̀run wá ni yóò sán àrá sí wọn; Olúwa yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ òpin ayé. “Yóò fi agbára fún ọba rẹ̀, yóò si gbé ìwo ẹni àmì òróró rẹ̀ sókè.”
11 Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. The child served the LORD before Eli the priest.
Elkana sì lọ sí Rama, sí ilé rẹ̀, ọmọ náà sì ń ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún Olúwa níwájú Eli àlùfáà.
12 Now the sons of Eli were wicked men. They didn’t know the LORD.
Àwọn ọmọ Eli sì jẹ́ ọmọ Beliali; wọn kò mọ Olúwa.
13 The custom of the priests with the people was that when anyone offered a sacrifice, the priest’s servant came while the meat was boiling, with a fork of three teeth in his hand;
Iṣẹ́ àwọn àlùfáà pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn ni pé nígbà tí ẹnìkan bá ṣe ìrúbọ, ìránṣẹ́ àlùfáà á dé, nígbà tí ẹran náà bá ń hó lórí iná, pẹ̀lú ọ̀pá-ẹran náà oníga mẹ́ta ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀.
14 and he stabbed it into the pan, or kettle, or cauldron, or pot. The priest took all that the fork brought up for himself. They did this to all the Israelites who came there to Shiloh.
Òun a sì fi gún inú apẹ, tàbí àgé tàbí ọpọ́n, tàbí ìkòkò, gbogbo èyí tí ọ̀pá-ẹran oníga náà bá mú wá sí òkè, àlùfáà á mú un fún ara rẹ̀. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n ń ṣe sí gbogbo Israẹli tí ó wá sí ibẹ̀ ní Ṣilo.
15 Yes, before they burnt the fat, the priest’s servant came, and said to the man who sacrificed, “Give meat to roast for the priest; for he will not accept boiled meat from you, but raw.”
Pẹ̀lú, kí wọn tó sun ọ̀rá náà, ìránṣẹ́ àlùfáà á dé, á sì wí fún ọkùnrin tí ó ń ṣe ìrúbọ pé, “Fi ẹran fún mi láti sun fún àlùfáà; nítorí tí kì yóò gba ẹran sísè lọ́wọ́ rẹ, bí kò ṣe tútù.”
16 If the man said to him, “Let the fat be burnt first, and then take as much as your soul desires;” then he would say, “No, but you shall give it to me now; and if not, I will take it by force.”
Bí ọkùnrin náà bá sì wí fún un pé, “Jẹ́ kí wọn ó sun ọ̀rá náà nísinsin yìí, kí o sì mú iyekíye tí ọkàn rẹ̀ bá fẹ́,” nígbà náà ni yóò dá a lóhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, ṣùgbọ́n kí ìwọ ó fi í fún mi nísinsin yìí, bí kó ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, èmi ó fi agbára gbà á.”
17 The sin of the young men was very great before the LORD; for the men despised the LORD’s offering.
Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin náà sì tóbi gidigidi níwájú Olúwa: nítorí tí àwọn ènìyàn kórìíra ẹbọ Olúwa.
18 But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, clothed with a linen ephod.
Ṣùgbọ́n Samuẹli ń ṣe ìránṣẹ́ níwájú Olúwa, ọmọdé, ti a wọ̀ ní efodu ọ̀gbọ̀.
19 Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him from year to year when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú, ìyá rẹ̀ máa ń dá aṣọ ìlekè péńpé fún un, a sì máa mú wá fún un lọ́dọọdún, nígbà tí ó bá bá ọkọ rẹ̀ gòkè wá láti ṣe ìrúbọ ọdún.
20 Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, “May the LORD give you offspring from this woman for the petition which was asked of the LORD.” Then they went to their own home.
Eli súre fún Elkana àti aya rẹ̀ pé, “Kí Olúwa fún ọ ní irú-ọmọ láti ara obìnrin yìí wá, nítorí ẹ̀bùn tí ó béèrè tí ó sì tún fún Olúwa.” Wọ́n sì lọ sí ilé wọn.
21 The LORD visited Hannah, and she conceived and bore three sons and two daughters. The child Samuel grew before the LORD.
Olúwa si bojú wo Hana, ó sì lóyún, ó bí ọmọkùnrin mẹ́ta àti ọmọbìnrin méjì. Samuẹli ọmọ náà sì ń dàgbà níwájú Olúwa.
22 Now Eli was very old; and he heard all that his sons did to all Israel, and how that they slept with the women who served at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
Eli sì di arúgbó gidigidi, ó sì gbọ́ gbogbo èyí ti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ ṣe sí gbogbo Israẹli; àti bi wọ́n ti máa ń bá àwọn obìnrin sùn, tí wọ́n máa ń péjọ ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ àjọ.
23 He said to them, “Why do you do such things? For I hear of your evil dealings from all these people.
Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, kí ni ó ti ri “Èétirí tí èmi fi ń gbọ́ irú nǹkan bẹ́ẹ̀ sí yín? Nítorí tí èmi ń gbọ́ iṣẹ́ búburú yín láti ọ̀dọ̀ gbogbo ènìyàn.
24 No, my sons; for it is not a good report that I hear! You make the LORD’s people disobey.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ ẹ̀yin ọmọ mi, nítorí kì ṣe ìròyìn rere èmi gbọ́; ẹ̀yin mú ènìyàn Olúwa dẹ́ṣẹ̀.
25 If one man sins against another, God will judge him; but if a man sins against the LORD, who will intercede for him?” Notwithstanding, they didn’t listen to the voice of their father, because the LORD intended to kill them.
Bí ẹnìkan bá ṣẹ̀ sí ẹnìkejì, onídàájọ́ yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ rẹ̀: ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹnìkan bá ṣẹ̀ sí Olúwa, ta ni yóò bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún un?” Wọn kò sì fi etí sí ohùn baba wọn, nítorí tí Olúwa ń fẹ́ pa wọ́n.
26 The child Samuel grew on, and increased in favour both with the LORD and also with men.
Ọmọ náà Samuẹli ń dàgbà, ó sì rí ojúrere lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa, àti ènìyàn pẹ̀lú.
27 A man of God came to Eli and said to him, “The LORD says, ‘Did I reveal myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt in bondage to Pharaoh’s house?
Ènìyàn Ọlọ́run kan tọ Eli wá, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Báyìí ni Olúwa wí, ‘Èmi fi ara mi hàn ní gbangba fún ilé baba rẹ, nígbà tí wọ́n ń bẹ ní Ejibiti nínú ilé Farao.
28 Didn’t I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? Didn’t I give to the house of your father all the offerings of the children of Israel made by fire?
Èmi sì yàn án kúrò láàrín gbogbo ẹ̀yà Israẹli láti jẹ́ àlùfáà mi, láti rú ẹbọ lórí pẹpẹ mi, láti fi tùràrí jóná, láti wọ efodu níwájú mi, èmi sì fi gbogbo ẹbọ tí ọmọ Israẹli máa ń fi iná sun fún ìdílé baba rẹ̀.
29 Why do you kick at my sacrifice and at my offering, which I have commanded in my habitation, and honour your sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of Israel my people?’
Èéha ṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi tàpá sí ẹbọ àti ọrẹ mi, tí mo pàṣẹ ní ibùjókòó mi, ìwọ sì bu ọlá fún àwọn ọmọ rẹ jù mí lọ, tí ẹ sì fi gbogbo àṣàyàn ẹbọ Israẹli àwọn ènìyàn mi mú ara yín sanra.’
30 “Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘I said indeed that your house and the house of your father should walk before me forever.’ But now the LORD says, ‘Far be it from me; for those who honour me I will honour, and those who despise me will be cursed.
“Nítorí náà Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí pé, ‘Èmi ti wí nítòótọ́ pé, ilé rẹ àti ilé baba rẹ, yóò máa rìn níwájú mi títí.’ Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí Olúwa wí pé, ‘Kí á má rí i! Àwọn tí ó bú ọlá fún mi ni èmi yóò bu ọlá fún, àti àwọn tí kò kà mí sí ni a ó sì ṣe aláìkàsí.
31 Behold, the days come that I will cut off your arm and the arm of your father’s house, that there will not be an old man in your house.
Kíyèsi i, àwọn ọjọ́ ń bọ̀ tí èmi ó gé agbára rẹ kúrò, àti agbára baba rẹ, tí kì yóò sí arúgbó kan nínú ilé rẹ.
32 You will see the affliction of my habitation, in all the wealth which I will give Israel. There shall not be an old man in your house forever.
Ìwọ yóò rí wàhálà ti Àgọ́, nínú gbogbo ọlá tí Ọlọ́run yóò fi fún Israẹli; kì yóò sí arúgbó kan nínú ilé rẹ láéláé.
33 The man of yours whom I don’t cut off from my altar will consume your eyes and grieve your heart. All the increase of your house will die in the flower of their age.
Ọkùnrin tí ó jẹ́ tìrẹ, tí èmi kì yóò gé kúrò ní ibi pẹpẹ mi ni a ó dá sí láti sọkún yọ lójú àti láti banújẹ́. Ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo irú-ọmọ ilé rẹ̀ ni a ó fi idà pa ní ààbọ̀ ọjọ́ wọn.
34 This will be the sign to you that will come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they will both die.
“‘Kí ni ohun tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀ sí àwọn ọmọ ọkùnrin rẹ̀ méjèèjì, Hofini àti Finehasi, yóò jẹ́ àmì fún ọ—àwọn méjèèjì yóò kú ní ọjọ́ kan náà.
35 I will raise up a faithful priest for myself who will do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind. I will build him a sure house. He will walk before my anointed forever.
Èmi yóò dìde fún ara mi láti gbé àlùfáà olódodo dìde fún ara mi, ẹni tí yóò ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí ohun tí ó wà ní ọkàn mi àti inú mi. Èmi yóò fi ẹsẹ̀ ilé rẹ̀ múlẹ̀ gbọningbọnin òun yóò sì ṣe òjíṣẹ́ níwájú ẹni òróró mi ní ọjọ́ gbogbo.
36 It will happen that everyone who is left in your house will come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and will say, “Please put me into one of the priests’ offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread.”’”
Nígbà náà olúkúlùkù ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá kù ní ìdílé yín, yóò jáde wá yóò sì foríbalẹ̀ níwájú rẹ̀ nítorí ẹyọ fàdákà àti nítorí èépá àkàrà àti ẹ̀bẹ̀ pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ yàn mí sí ọ̀kan nínú iṣẹ́ àwọn àlùfáà, kí èmi kí ó le máa rí oúnjẹ jẹ.”’”
