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.
Namicha biyya gaara Efreem keessa Raamaatayiim Zoofiim jiraatu kan maqaan isaa Elqaanaa jedhamu tokkotu ture; innis ilma Yeroohaam, ilma Eliihuu, ilma Toohuu, ilma Zuufi, ilma Naasiib ture.
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.
Innis niitii lama qaba ture; maqaan ishee tokko Haannaa, kaan immoo Pheniinaa jedhama ture. Pheniinaan ijoollee qabdi; Haannaan garuu ijoollee tokko illee hin qabdu ture.
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.
Elqaanaan wagguma waggaadhaan Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuuf aarsaa dhiʼeessuu fi sagaduudhaaf magaalaa jiraatuu kaʼee gara Shiilootti ol baʼa ture. Achittis ilmaan Eelii lamaan Hofniinii fi Fiinehaas luboota Waaqayyoo turan.
4 When the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and her daughters;
Yommuu guyyaan itti Elqaanaan aarsaa dhiʼeessu gaʼutti inni niitii isaa Pheniinaa, ilmaan isaatii fi intallan isaa hundaaf foon sana irraa qooda isaanii ni kenna ture.
5 but he gave a double portion to Hannah, for he loved Hannah, but Yahweh had shut up her womb.
Inni sababii Haannaa jaallatuuf qooda harka lama isheedhaaf kenna ture; Waaqayyo garuu gadameessa ishee cufee ture.
6 Her rival provoked her severely, to irritate her, because Yahweh had shut up her womb.
Sababii Waaqayyo gadameessa Haannaa cufeef masaanuun ishee akka isheen aartuuf ishee tuttuqaa turte.
7 So year by year, when she went up to Yahweh’s house, her rival provoked her. Therefore she wept, and didn’t eat.
Kunis wagguma waggaadhaan itti fufe. Yeroo Haannaan gara mana Waaqayyootti ol baatutti masaanuun ishee, ishee tuttuqaa turte; kanaafuu Haannaan ni boossi, nyaatas hin nyaattu turte.
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?”
Dhirsi ishee Elqaanaanis, “Haannaa ati maaliif boossa? Maaliif hin nyaattu? Garaan kee maaliif gaddaa? Ani ilmaan kudhan siif hin caaluu?” Isheen jedha ture.
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.
Gaafa tokko isaan Shiilootti erga nyaatanii dhuganii booddee Haannaan ol kaatee dhaabate. Eeliin lubichi dhaaba balbala mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo bira barcuma irra taaʼaa ture.
10 She was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to Yahweh, weeping bitterly.
Haannaanis guddaa gadditee hiqqifatee booʼuudhaan Waaqayyoon kadhatte.
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.”
Akkanas jettee wareegde; “Yaa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandeessu, yoo ati dhiphina garbittii keetii ilaaltee na yaadatte, yoo ati garbittii kee dagachuu baattee ilma naa kennite ani bara jireenya isaa guutuu isa Waaqayyoof nan kenna; qarabaan tokko iyyuu mataa isaa hin tuqu.”
12 As she continued praying before Yahweh, Eli saw her mouth.
Yeroo Haannaan ittuma fuftee fuula Waaqayyoo duratti kadhachaa turtettis Eeliin afaan ishee ilaalaa ture.
13 Now Hannah spoke in her heart. Only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk.
Haannaanis garaa isheetti kadhachaa turte; hidhii isheetu sochoʼa malees sagaleen ishee hin dhagaʼamu ture. Kanaafuu Eeliin waan isheen machoofte seʼee,
14 Eli said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Get rid of your wine!”
“Ati hamma yoomiitti machoofta? Daadhii wayinii kee of irraa fageessi” jedheen.
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.
Haannaanis akkana jettee deebifte; “Lakki akkas miti; yaa gooftaa ko, ani dubartii akka malee dhiphatee dha. Ani lubbuu koo fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhangalaase malee daadhii wayinii yookaan dhugaatii nama macheessu hin dhugne.
16 Don’t consider your servant a wicked woman; for I have been speaking out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation.”
Ati garbittii kee akka dubartii faayidaa hin qabne tokkootti hin ilaalin. Ani sababii dhiphinaa fi gadda koo guddaa sanaatiif hamma ammaatti kadhachaara.”
17 Then Eli answered, “Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of him.”
Eeliinis, “Nagaan deemi; Waaqni Israaʼel waan ati kadhatte siif haa kennu” jedhee deebiseef.
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.
Isheenis, “Garbittiin kee fuula kee duratti surraa haa argattu” jette. Ergasiis deemsa ishee itti fufte; nyaata ni nyaatte; gaddis fuula ishee irratti hin mulʼanne.
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.
Isaanis guyyaa itti aanu ganama barii kaʼanii fuula Waaqayyoo duratti sagadanii gara mana isaanii Raamaatti deebiʼan. Elqaanaan niitii isaa Haannaa bira gaʼe; Waaqayyos ishee yaadate.
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.”
Haannaan ulfooftee yeroon isaa geenyaan ilma deesse. Maqaa isaas, “Ani Waaqayyo irraa isa kadhadheeraatii” jettee Saamuʼeel jettee moggaafte.
21 The man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to Yahweh the yearly sacrifice and his vow.
Elqaanaan warra mana isaa jiraatan hunda wajjin Waaqayyoof aarsaa waggaa dhiʼeessuu fi wareega isaa galchuuf ol baʼe;
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.”
Haannaan garuu hin dhaqne. Isheenis dhirsa isheetiin, “Erga mucaan kun harma guʼee booddee ani isa geesseen fuula Waaqayyoo duratti isa dhiʼeessa; innis jireenya isaa guutuu achuma jiraata” jette.
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.
Dhirsi ishee Elqaanaanis, “Waanuma jaallatte godhi; ati hamma harma isa guusiftutti asuma turi; Waaqayyo garuu dubbii isaa fiixaan haa baasu” jedheen. Kanaafuu dubartittiin mana turtee hamma harma isa guusiftutti ilma ishee hoosifte.
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.
Ishee erga mucicha harma guusiftee booddee mucichaa fi dibicha loonii kan umuriin isaa waggaa sadii taʼe, daakuu iifii tokkoo fi daadhii wayinii qalqalloo tokko fudhattee gara Shiiloo gara mana Waaqayyootti fidde. Mucichis daaʼima ture.
25 They killed the bull, and brought the child to Eli.
Isaanis dibicha sana qalanii mucicha gara Eeliitti fidan;
26 She said, “Oh, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to Yahweh.
isheenis akkana jetteen; “Yaa gooftaa ko, duʼa lubbuu keetii ti; dubartiin as si bira dhaabattee Waaqayyoon kadhachaa turte sun anuma.
27 I prayed for this child, and Yahweh has given me my petition which I asked of him.
Ani mucaa kana argachuuf kadhadheera; Waaqayyos waan ani isa kadhadhe naaf kenneera.
28 Therefore I have also given him to Yahweh. As long as he lives he is given to Yahweh.” He worshiped Yahweh there.
Kanaafuu ani amma Waaqayyoofan isa kenna. Bara jireenya isaa guutuu Waaqayyoof ni kennama.” Isaanis achitti Waaqayyoof sagadan.
