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:

Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim, a Zuphite of the hill country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Toah, 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 the one was Hannah, and the name of the other, Peninnah. And Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no 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.

This man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to YHWH of hosts in Shiloh. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests of YHWH, were there.

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.

When the day came for Elkanah to sacrifice, he would give portions to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and her 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 would give a double portion because he loved Hannah. Now YHWH had kept her from conceiving.

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 because YHWH kept her from conceiving, her rival used to taunt her severely, to irritate her.

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 this went on year after year, as often as she went up to the house of YHWH, she taunted her; therefore she would weep and refuse to eat.

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?

And her husband Elkanah said to her, "Hannah, why are you weeping? And why are you not eating? And why are you so sad? 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.

So Hannah got up after eating and drinking in Shiloh, and stood before YHWH. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the temple of YHWH.

10 Ua kaumaha kona naau, pule aku la oia ia Iehova, a uwe nui iho la.

And she was greatly distressed and prayed to YHWH, and wept uncontrollably.

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 vowed a vow and said, "YHWH of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your servant and remember me and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a son, then I will set him before you as a Nazirite until the day of his death. And he will not drink wine or strong drink, and no razor will come on his head."

12 A i kana pule nui ana imua o Iehova, nana aku la o Eli i kona waha.

Now it happened, as she continued praying before YHWH, that 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.

And she was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was 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.

So Eli said to her, "How long will you make yourself drunk? Put away your wine, and go from before YHWH."

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.

And Hannah answered, "No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I poured out my soul before YHWH.

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.

Do not count your servant as a worthless woman; for I have been speaking out of the abundance of my distress and my anguish."

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 answered, "Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked 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.

She said, "Let your servant find favor in your sight." So the woman went her way, and entered her quarters, and ate; and her facial expression wasn't sad any more.

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.

They rose up in the morning early, and worshiped before YHWH, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and YHWH 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.

It happened, when the time had come, that Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she named him Samuel, saying, "Because I have asked him of YHWH."

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.

The man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to YHWH the yearly sacrifice, and to redeem his vow and all the tithes of his land.

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, "Not until the child is weaned; then I will bring him, that he may appear before YHWH, and stay there forever."

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.

Elkanah her husband said to her, "Do what seems good in your eyes. Wait until you have weaned him; only may YHWH establish what you have said." So the woman waited and nursed her son, until she weaned him.

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.

Then she took him to Shiloh along with a three-year old bull, and bread, and an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine. And she came to the house of YHWH in Shiloh, and the boy was with them. And they went before YHWH and his father slaughtered the sacrifice, which he did annually to YHWH. Then he brought the boy,

25 Pepehi iho lakou i ka bipikane, a lawe aku la i ke keiki ia Eli.

and he slaughtered the bull. And Hannah, the mother of the boy, brought him 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.

She said, "Oh, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to YHWH.

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.

For this child I prayed; and YHWH has given 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.

Therefore also I have lent him to YHWH. As long as he lives he is lent to YHWH." Then she left him there, and she worshipped before YHWH.
