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.
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 He had two wives. The name of one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah. 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 This man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to Yahweh of Armies in Shiloh. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests to Yahweh, 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 When the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and her daughters;
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 he gave a double portion to Hannah, for he loved Hannah, but Yahweh had shut 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 Her rival provoked her severely, to irritate her, because Yahweh had shut up her womb.
Penina menm te toujou ap giyonnen Ana pou fè l' wont, paske Seyè a pa t' ba li pitit.
7 So year by year, when she went up to Yahweh’s house, her rival provoked her. Therefore she wept, and didn’t 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 Elkanah her husband said to her, “Hannah, why do you weep? Why don’t you eat? Why is your heart grieved? Am I not better to you 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 up after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on his seat by the doorpost of Yahweh’s temple.
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 She was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to Yahweh, weeping bitterly.
Ana te gen anpil lapenn. Li t'ap lapriyè nan pye Seyè a, dlo t'ap koule nan je l'.
11 She vowed a vow, and said, “Yahweh of Armies, if you will indeed look at the affliction of your servant and remember me, and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a boy, then I will give him to Yahweh all the days of his life, and no razor shall come on 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 As she continued praying before Yahweh, Eli saw 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 Eli said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Get rid of your wine!”
Li di l' konsa: -Kilè w'a sispann bwè jouk pou ou sou konsa? Soti al desoule ou yon lòt kote!
15 Hannah answered, “No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have not been drinking wine or strong drink, but I poured out my soul before Yahweh.
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 Don’t consider your servant a wicked woman; for I have been speaking out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation.”
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, “Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have 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 She said, “Let your servant find favor in your sight.” So the woman went her way and ate; and her facial expression wasn’t sad any more.
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 They rose up in the morning early and worshiped Yahweh, then returned and came to their house to Ramah. Then Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and Yahweh 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 When the time had come, Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she named him Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked him of Yahweh.”
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 The man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to Yahweh 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 didn’t go up, for she said to her husband, “Not until the child is weaned; then I will bring him, that he may appear before Yahweh, and stay there forever.”
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 Elkanah her husband said to her, “Do what seems good to you. Wait until you have weaned him; only may Yahweh establish his word.” So the woman waited 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 When she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls, and one ephah of meal, and a container of wine, and brought him to Yahweh’s house in Shiloh. 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 They killed the bull, and brought the child to Eli.
Yo touye ti towo a, epi yo mennen ti gason an bay Eli.
26 She said, “Oh, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to Yahweh.
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 I prayed for this child, and Yahweh has 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 I have also given him to Yahweh. As long as he lives he is given to Yahweh.” He worshiped Yahweh 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.
