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, named Elkanah; he was 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, one named Hannah and the other Peninnah: and Peninnah was the mother of 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.

Now this man went up from his town every year to give worship and to make offerings to the Lord of armies in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the Lord, 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.

And when the day came for Elkanah to make his offering, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and daughters, their part of the feast:

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 part, though Hannah was very dear to him, but the Lord had not let her have children.

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 the other wife did everything possible to make her unhappy, because the Lord had not let her have children;

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 year by year, whenever she went up to the house of the Lord, she kept on attacking her, so that Hannah gave herself up to weeping and would take no 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?

Then her husband Elkanah said to her, Hannah, why are you weeping? and why are you taking no food? why is your heart troubled? am I not more 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 after they had taken food and wine in the guest room, Hannah got up. Now Eli the priest was seated by the pillars of the doorway of the Temple of the Lord.

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

And with grief in her soul, weeping bitterly, she made her prayer to the Lord.

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 an oath, and said, O Lord of armies, if you will truly take note of the sorrow of your servant, not turning away from me but keeping me in mind, and will give me a man-child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and his hair will never be cut.

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

Now while she was a long time in prayer before the Lord, Eli was watching 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's prayer came from her heart, and though her lips were moving she made no sound: so it seemed to Eli that she was overcome with wine.

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 Eli said to her, How long are you going to be the worse for drink? Put away the effects of your wine from you.

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, answering him, said, No, my lord, I am a woman whose spirit is broken with sorrow: I have not taken wine or strong drink, but I have been opening my heart before 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.

Do not take your servant to be a good-for-nothing woman: for my words have come from my stored-up sorrow and pain.

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 give you an answer to the prayer you have made to 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, May your servant have grace in your eyes. So the woman went away, and took part in the feast, and her face was no longer sad.

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 early in the morning they got up, and after worshipping before the Lord they went back to Ramah, to their house: and Elkanah had connection with his wife; and the Lord kept her in mind.

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.

Now the time came when Hannah, being with child, gave birth to a son; and she gave him the name Samuel, Because, she said, I made a prayer to the Lord for him.

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.

And the man Elkanah with all his family went up to make the year's offering to the Lord, and to give effect to his oath.

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, for she said to her husband, I will not go till the child has been taken from the breast, and then I will take him with me and put him before the Lord, where he may be for ever.

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 whatever seems right to you, but not till you have taken him from the breast; only may the Lord do as he has said. So the woman, waiting there, gave her son milk till he was old enough to be taken from the breast.

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 when she had done so, she took him with her, with a three-year old ox and an ephah of meal and a skin full of wine, and took him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh: now the child was still very young.

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

And when they had made an offering of the ox, they took the child 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 she said, O my lord, as your soul is living, my lord, I am that woman who was making a prayer to the Lord here by your side:

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.

My prayer was for this child; and the Lord has given him to me in answer to my request:

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.

So I have given him to the Lord; for all his life he is the Lord's. Then he gave the Lord worship there.
