< I Samuela 1 >
1 O KEKAHI kanaka no Ramataima-Zopima, no ka mauna o Eperaima, o Elekana kona inoa, ke keiki a Ierohama, ke keiki a Elihu, ke keiki a Tohu, ke keiki a Zupa, no Eperata:
There was a certain man from Ramah of Zophim, on Mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
2 Elua aua wahine; o Hana ka inoa o kekahi, a o Penina ka inoa o kekahi: a he mau keiki na Penina, aka, o Hana aohe ana keiki.
And he had two wives: the name of one was Hannah, and the name of the second was Peninnah. And Peninnah had sons. But Hannah did not have children.
3 I kela makahiki keia makahiki, hele aku ua kanaka la mai kona kulanakauhale aku e hoomana, a e kaumaha aku ia Iehova o na lehulehu ma Silo; malaila na keiki elua a Eli, o Hopeni laua o Pinehasa, na kahuna a Iehova.
And this man went up from his city, on the established days, so that he might adore and sacrifice to the Lord of hosts at Shiloh. Now the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests of the Lord, were in that place.
4 A hiki mai ka la a Elekana i kaumaha aku ai, haawi aku la ia i na haawina na Penina, na kana wahine, a na kana mau keikikane a pau, a na kana mau kaikamahine.
Then the day arrived, and Elkanah immolated. And he gave portions to his wife Peninnah, and to all her sons and daughters.
5 A haawi papalua aku la ia na Hana; no ka mea, ua aloha aku oia ia Hana: aka, ua pa ia ia Iehova.
But to Hannah he gave one portion with sorrow. For he loved Hannah, but the Lord had closed her womb.
6 Hoonaukiuki aku la kona enemi ia ia, i mea e hoonaulu aku ai ia ia; no ka mea, ua hoopaa o Iehova i kona opu.
And her rival afflicted her and vehemently distressed her, to a great extent, for she rebuked her that the Lord had closed her womb.
7 Pela kana i hana'i mai kela makahiki a keia makahiki, ia ia i pii aku ai i ka hale o Iehova, pela no ia i hoonaukiuki aku ai ia ia, a uwe iho la o Hana, aole ia i ai.
And she did so every year, when the time returned for them to ascend to the temple of the Lord. And she provoked her in this way. And so, she wept and did not take food.
8 Alaila ninau aku la o Elekana kana kane ia ia, E Hana, heaha kau i uwe ai? No ke aha la aole oe i ai? Heaha ka mea i kaumaha'i kou naau? Aole anei e oi aku ko'u pono ia oe imua o na keikikane he umi?
Therefore, her husband Elkanah said to her: “Hannah, why are you weeping? And why do you not eat? And for what reason do you afflict your heart? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”
9 Ku ae la o Hana mahope o ka lakou ai ana a me ka lakou inu ana ma Silo: a e noho ana o Eli ke kahuna maluna o ka noho ma ka lapauila o ka hale o Iehova.
And so, after she ate and drank at Shiloh, Hannah rose up. And Eli, the priest, was sitting on the seat before the door of the temple of the Lord.
10 Ua kaumaha kona naau, pule aku la oia ia Iehova, a uwe nui iho la.
And since Hannah was bitter in soul, she prayed to the Lord, weeping greatly.
11 Hoohiki iho la ia i ka hoohiki ana, i aku la, E Iehova o na lehulehu, a i ike pono mai oe i ka ehaeha o kau kauwawahine, a i hoomanao mai ia'u, aole i hoopoina i kau kauwawahine, a i haawi mai hoi i keikikane no kau kauwawahine; alaila e hoolilo au ia ia no Iehova i na la a pau o kona ola ana; aole e hoopiliia mai ka pahi amu ma kona poo.
And she made a vow, saying, “O Lord of hosts, if, in looking with favor, you will see the affliction of your servant and will remember me, and will not forget your handmaid, and if you will give to your servant a male child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall pass over his head.”
12 A i kana pule nui ana imua o Iehova, nana aku la o Eli i kona waha.
Then it happened that, while she multiplied prayers before the Lord, Eli observed her mouth.
13 Maloko o kona naau ka Hana olelo ana; akoako wale no kona lehelehe, aole i loheia kona leo: nolaila manao iho la o Eli, ua ona ia.
For Hannah was speaking in her heart, and only her lips moved, and her voice was barely heard. Therefore, Eli considered her to be drunk,
14 Ninau aku la o Eli ia ia, Pehea la ka loihi o kou ona ana? E hoolei oe i kou waina mai ou aku la.
and so he said to her: “How long will you be inebriated? You should take only a little wine, but instead you are drenched.”
15 Olelo aku la o Hana, i aku la, Aole, e kuu haku; he wahine ehaeha wau ma ka naau; aole au i inu i ka waina, aole i ka mea ona, aka, ua ninini aku au i kuu uhane imua o Iehova.
Responding, Hannah said: “By no means, my lord. For I am an exceedingly unhappy woman, and I drank neither wine, nor anything that can inebriate. Instead, I have poured out my soul in the sight of the Lord.
16 Mai manao mai oe i kau kauwawahine, he kaikamahine na ka hewa; no ka mea, no ka nui o kuu ehaeha ana, a me ke kaumaha, ua olelo iho nei au a keia wa.
You should not repute your handmaid as one of the daughters of Belial. For I have been speaking from the abundance of my sorrow and grief, even until now.”
17 Olelo aku la o Eli, i aku la. O hele oe me ke aloha: a na ke Akua o ka Israela e hooko mai kau mea au i noi aku ai ia ia.
Then Eli said to her: “Go in peace. And may the God of Israel grant to you your petition, which you have begged of him.”
18 I mai la ia, I loaa i kau kauwawahine ke aloha imua o kou maka. A hele aku la ua wahine la ma kona wahi i hele ai, a ai iho la, aole minamina hou kona maka.
And she said, “I wish that your handmaid may find grace in your eyes.” And the woman went on her way, and she ate, and her countenance was no longer changed for the worse.
19 Ala ae la lakou i kakahiaka nui, a hoomana aku la imua o Iehova, a hoi aku la a hiki i ko lakou hale ma Rama: a ike iho la o Elekana ia Hana i kana wahine; a hoomanao mai la o Iehova ia ia.
And they rose up in the morning, and they worshipped before the Lord. And they returned and arrived at their own house at Ramah. Then Elkanah knew his wife Hannah. And the Lord remembered her.
20 A hiki mai ka manawa mahope o ka Hana hapai ana, hanau mai la ia, he keikikane, a kapa aku la ia i kona inoa o Samuela; no ka mea, ua noi aku au ia ia ia Iehova.
And it happened that, in the course of days, Hannah conceived and bore a son. And she called his name Samuel, because she had requested him from the Lord.
21 A o ua kanaka la, o Elekana, a me ko kona hale a pau, hele aku la e kaumaha aku ia Iehova i ka mohai makahiki, a me kona hoohiki ana.
Now her husband Elkanah ascended with his entire house, so that he might immolate to the Lord a solemn sacrifice, with his vow.
22 Aka, aole hiki aku o Hana, no ka mea, olelo aku la ia i kana kane, Aia e ukuhiia'ku ai ke keiki, alaila lawe aku au ia ia, e ikea ia ma ke alo o Iehova, a e noho mau loa ia ilaila.
But Hannah did not go up. For she said to her husband, “I will not go, until the infant has been weaned, and until I may lead him, so that he may appear before the sight of the Lord, and may remain always there.”
23 I mai la o Elekana kana kane ia ia, E hana oe i ka pono i kou manao: e noho, a hiki mai ka manawa e ukuhi aku ai oe ia ia; e hooko mai o Iehova i kana olelo. Noho iho la ka wahine e hanai i ke keiki, a hiki i ka wa e ukuhi aku ai ia ia.
And her husband Elkanah said to her: “Do what seems good to you, and stay until you wean him. And I pray that the Lord may fulfill his word.” Therefore, the woman remained at home, and she breastfed her son, until she withdrew him from milk.
24 A i ka wa i ukuhi aku ai ia i ke keiki, lawe aku la oia ia ia me na bipikane ekolu, hookahi epa palaoa, hookahi hue waina hoi, a lawe aku la ia ia i ka hale o Iehova ma Silo: a opiopio no hoi ke keiki.
And after she had weaned him, she brought him with her, along with three calves, and three measures of flour, and a small bottle of wine, and she led him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh. But the boy was still a young child.
25 Pepehi iho lakou i ka bipikane, a lawe aku la i ke keiki ia Eli.
And they immolated a calf, and they presented the boy to Eli.
26 Olelo aku la ia, E kuu haku, ma kou ola ana, e kuu haku, owau no ka wahine i ku pu me oe maanei e pule ana ia Iehova.
And Hannah said: “I beg you, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord: I am that woman, who stood before you here, praying to the Lord.
27 O keia keiki ka'u i pule aku ai; a ua haawi mai o Iehova ia'u i ka'u noi a'u i noi aku ai ia ia.
I prayed for this child, and the Lord granted to me my petition, which I asked of him.
28 No ia mea, ke haawi aku nei au ia ia no Iehova. I na la a pau o kona ela ana e haawiia oia no Iehova. A hoomana aku la lakou ia Iehova malaila.
Because of this, I have also lent him to the Lord, for all the days when he shall be lent to the Lord.” And they adored the Lord in that place. And Hannah prayed, and she said:
