1 Samuel 1
1 `A man was of `Ramathym of Sophym, of the hil of Effraym, and his name was Elchana, the sone of Jeroboam, sone of Elyud, sone of Thau, sone of Suph, of Effraym.
Kati na engumba Ramataimi-Tsofimi ya etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi, ezalaki na mobali moko; kombo na ye ezalaki « Elikana. » Azalaki mwana mobali ya Yeroami, mwana mobali ya Eliwu, mwana mobali ya Towu, mwana mobali ya Tsufi, moto ya Efrayimi.
2 And Helchana hadde twei wyues; the name `to oon was Anna, and the `name of the secounde was Fenenna; and sones weren to Feuenna; forsothe fre children `weren not to Anna.
Elikana azalaki na basi mibale: moko, kombo na ye ezalaki « Penina; » mosusu, « Ana. » Penina azalaki na bana, kasi Ana azalaki na mwana te.
3 And thilke man styede fro his citee in daies ordeyned, to worschipe and offre sacrifice to the Lord of oostis in Silo. Forsothe twei sones of Heli weren there, Ophym and Fynees, preestis of the Lord.
Mibu nyonso, Elikana azalaki kolongwa na engumba na ye mpo na kokende kogumbamela Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, mpe kobonzela Ye mbeka na Silo epai wapi Ofini mpe Fineasi, bana mibali mibale ya Eli, bazalaki Banganga-Nzambe.
4 Therfor the dai cam, and Helcana offride, and yaf partis to Fenenna, his wijf, and to alle hise sones and douytris;
Bongo, soki mokolo na ye ya kobonza mbeka ekoki, Elikana azalaki na momesano ya kopesa biteni ya mbeka na ye epai ya Penina, mwasi na ye, mpe epai ya bana nyonso ya Penina, ya mibali mpe ya basi.
5 forsothe he yaf soreufuly o part to Anna, for he louyde Anna; forsothe the Lord hadde closid hir wombe.
Kasi epai ya Ana, azalaki kopesa biteni yango mbala mibale, pamba te azalaki kolinga ye, atako Yawe akangaki ye mabota.
6 And hir enemy turmentide `hir, and angwischide greetly, in so myche that sche vpbreidide, that the Lord hadde closid hir wombe.
Nzokande, lokola Yawe akangaki ye mabota, mbanda na ye azalaki kaka kotiola ye tango nyonso mpo ete atomboka.
7 And so sche dide `bi alle yeeris, whanne `in tyme comynge ayen, thei stieden in to the hows of the Lord; and so sche terride Anna. Forsothe Anna wepte, and took not mete.
Elikana azalaki kosala bongo mibu nyonso. Mpe tango nyonso Ana azalaki kokende na Ndako ya Yawe, mbanda na ye, Penina, azalaki kotika te kotiola ye. Bongo, lokola Ana azalaki kolela mpe azalaki kolia te,
8 Therfor Helcana, hir hosebonde, seide to hir, Anna, whi wepist thou, and whi etist thou not, and whi is thin herte turmentid? Whether Y am not betere to thee than ben ten sones?
Elikana, mobali na ye, atunaki ye: « Ana, mpo na nini ozali kolela? Mpo na nini ozali kolia te? Mpo na nini ozali na mawa boye? Boni, ngai nazali na motuya te mpo na yo koleka bana mibali zomi? »
9 `Sotheli Anna roos, aftir that sche hadde ete and drunke in Silo. `And the while Hely was on his greet seete, bifor the postis of the `hows of the Lord,
Mokolo moko, sima na bango kolia mpe komela na Silo, Ana atelemaki mpe akendeki na Ndako ya Yawe. Ezalaki na ngonga oyo Nganga-Nzambe Eli avandaki na kiti, pembeni ya ekuke ya Ndako ya Yawe.
10 whanne Anna was in bittere soule, sche preyede the Lord, and wepte largeli;
Wana Ana azalaki na pasi na motema, abondelaki Yawe na kolela mingi.
11 and made a vow, and seide, Lord God of oostis, if thou biholdist, and seest the turment of thi seruauntesse, and hast mynde of me, and foryetis not thin handmayde, and yyuest to thi seruauntesse `a male kynde, Y schal yyue hym to the Lord in alle daies of his lijf, and a rasour schal not stie on his heed.
Bongo apesaki elaka, alobaki: « Eh Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, soki kaka otali pasi ya mwasi mowumbu na Yo, soki okanisi ngai mpe obosani te mwasi mosali na Yo, kasi opesi ye mwana mobali, nakokaba ye epai na Yawe mpo na mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na ye, mpe bakotikala kokata suki ya moto na ye te. »
12 Forsothe it was doon, whanne sche multipliede preieris bifor the Lord, that Ely aspiede hir mouth.
Lokola azalaki kobenda libondeli na ye molayi liboso ya Yawe, Eli azalaki kotala malamu-malamu monoko na ye.
13 Forsothe Anna spak in hir herte, and oneli hir lippis weren mouyd, and outerly hir vois was not herd. Therfor Hely gesside hir drunkun,
Mpe wana Ana azalaki kobondela na se ya motema, bibebu na ye ezalaki koningana, kasi mongongo ezalaki koyokana te. Mpe Eli akanisaki ete Ana alangwe masanga.
14 and he seide to hyr, Hou longe schalt thou be drunkun? Difye thou a litil the wyn, `bi which thou art moist.
Eli alobaki na Ana: — Kino tango nini okozala na milangwa? Longola milangwa na yo.
15 Anna answeride, and seide, Nay, my lord, for Y am `a wretchid womman greetli; Y `drank not wyn `and al thing that may make drunkun, but Y schedde out my soule in the `siyt of the Lord;
Ana azongisaki: — Te, nkolo na ngai! Nalangwe te, nameli ata vino to masanga makasi te. Kasi nazali na mawa mingi; nazalaki kosopa motema na ngai epai na Yawe.
16 gesse thou not thin handmaide as oon of the douytris of Belyal, for of the multitude of my sorewe and morenyng Y spak `til in to present tyme.
Kozwa mwasi mowumbu na yo te lokola mwasi ya mobulu, pamba te ezali mawa ya motema na ngai mpe monene ya pasi na ngai nde etindi ngai kobondela kino tango oyo.
17 Thanne Hely seide to hir, Go thou in pees, and God of Israel yyue to thee the axyng which thou preiedist hym.
Eli azongisaki: — Kende na kimia, mpe tika ete Nzambe ya Isalaele apesa yo, oyo osengi Ye.
18 And sche seide, `Y wolde that thin hondmayde fynde grace in thin iyen. And the womman yede in to hir weie, and eet; and hir cheris weren no more chaungid dyuersly.
Ana alobaki: — Tika ete mwasi mowumbu na yo azwa ngolu na miso na yo. Boye Ana azongaki, aliaki mpe elongi na ye ezalaki lisusu ya mawa te.
19 And `thei ryseden eerly, and worschipiden bifore the Lord; and thei turneden ayen, and camen in to hir hows in Ramatha. Forsothe Helchana knew fleischli Anna, his wijf; and the Lord thouyte on hir.
Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, Elikana mpe libota na ye balamukaki mpe bagumbamelaki Yawe; sima na yango, bazongaki epai na bango, na Rama. Elikana asangisaki nzoto na Ana, mwasi na ye, mpe Yawe akaniselaki Ana.
20 And it was doon after the cumpas of daies, Anna conseyuede, and childide a sone, and sche clepide his name Samuel; for sche hadde axid hym of the Lord.
Boye Ana akomaki na zemi mpe, sima na mwa mikolo, abotaki mwana mobali. Apesaki ye kombo « Samuele, » pamba te alobaki: « Mpo ete nasengaki ye epai na Yawe. »
21 Forsothe hir hosebonde Helcana stiede, and al his hows, to offre a solempne sacrifice, and his avow to the Lord.
Na mobu oyo elandaki, Elikana, elongo na libota na ye mobimba, akendeki lisusu kobonzela Yawe mbeka ya mibu nyonso mpe kokokisa elaka na ye.
22 And Anna stiede not, for sche hadde seid to hir hosebonde, Y schal not go, til the yonge child be wenyd, and til Y lede hym, and he appere bifor the `siyt of the Lord, and dwelle there contynueli.
Kasi lokola Ana akendeki te, alobaki na mobali na ye: — Soki nakati mwana komela mabele nde nakomema ye mpo na kotalisa ye epai na Yawe; bongo akovanda kuna mpo na libela.
23 And Helcana, hir hosebonde, seide to hir, Do thou that that semeth good to thee, and dwelle thou til thou wene hym; and Y biseche, that the Lord fille his word. Therfor the womman dwellide, and yaf mylk to hir sone, til sche remouyde hym fro mylk.
Elikana, mobali na ye, alobaki: — Oyo omoni ete ezali malamu, sala yango. Vanda awa kino okokata mwana komela mabele. Tika ete Yawe asunga yo mpo ete okokisa kaka elaka na yo. Boye Ana atikalaki na ndako, akobaki komelisa mwana mabele kino tango akataki ye komela.
24 And sche brouyte hym with hir, aftir that sche hadde wened hym, with thre caluys, and thre buyschelis of mele, and amfore, `ether a pot, of wyn; and sche brouyte hym to the hows of the Lord in Silo. Forsothe the child was yit ful yonge.
Sima na ye kokata mwana komela mabele, Ana akamataki ye, ndenge kaka azalaki nanu moke bongo; amemaki ye na Ndako ya Yawe, na Silo, elongo na ngombe ya mobali ya mibu misato, bakilo zomi ya farine, mpe mbeki moko ya vino.
25 And thei sacrifieden a calf, and thei offriden the child to Hely.
Sima na bango koboma ngombe mpo na kobonza yango lokola mbeka, bamemaki mwana epai ya Eli.
26 And Anna seide, My lord, Y biseche, that is, that this child be thi `disciple and seruaunt, thi soule lyueth; Y am that womman, that stood bifor thee here, and preiede the Lord;
Ana alobaki na ye: — Limbisa ngai, nkolo na ngai; nazali mwasi oyo atelemaki awa pembeni na yo mpo na kobondela Yawe.
27 for this child Y preiede, and the Lord yaf to me myn axyng which Y axide hym;
Nazalaki kobondela mpo ete nazwa mwana oyo, mpe Yawe asilaki kopesa ngai oyo nasengaki Ye.
28 therfor Y haue youe hym to the Lord `in alle daies, in whiche he is youun to the Lord. And thei worschypiden there the Lord.
Boye, ngai mpe nakabi ye sik’oyo epai na Yawe: bomoi na ye mobimba, akozala ya Yawe. Sima na yango, agumbamelaki Yawe na esika yango.
