I Samuel 2

1 Nagkararag ni Ana a kunana, “Agragragsak ti pusok gapu kenni Yahweh. Napabilegak gapu kenni Yahweh. Agpasindayag ti ngiwatko kadagiti kabusorko, gapu ta agrag-oak iti panangisalakanmo.

And Hannah prayed, and said: My heart exulteth in Jehovah; My horn is exalted in Jehovah; My mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; Because I rejoice in thy salvation.

2 Awan ti uray maysa a nasantoan a kas kenni Yahweh, ta awan iti sabali pay malaksid kenka; awan dakkel a bato a kas iti Diostayo.

There is none holy as Jehovah; For there is none besides thee, Neither is there any rock like our God.

3 Saankayon nga agpasindayag unay; awan koman ti kinapalangguad a rumuar iti ngiwatyo. Ta ni Yahweh ket Dios ti pannakaammo; babaen kenkuana matimbang dagiti tignay.

Talk no more so exceeding proudly; Let not arrogancy come out of your mouth; For Jehovah is a God of knowledge, And by him actions are weighed.

4 Matukkol dagiti bai dagiti nabileg a lallaki, ngem dagiti maitibkul, pumigsada a kasla barikes.

The bows of the mighty men are broken; And they that stumbled are girded with strength.

5 Dagiti aglaplapusanan idi iti taraon, manggeddan tapno adda kanenda; saanen a mabisinan dagiti mabisbisinan. Uray ti maysa a lupes ket aganak iti pito, ngem ti babai nga addaan iti adu nga annak ket agkapsut.

They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; And they that were hungry have ceased [to hunger]: Yea, the barren hath borne seven; And she that hath many children languisheth.

6 Mangpapatay ni Yahweh ken mangmangted iti biag. Isuna ti mangipababa idiay sheol ken isuna ti mangpagpagungar. (Sheol h7585)

Jehovah killeth, and maketh alive: He bringeth down to Sheol, and bringeth up. (Sheol h7585)

7 Ni Yahweh ti mangpapapanglaw ken mangpabaknang. Mangipababa isuna, ngem mangitan-ok met isuna.

Jehovah maketh poor, and maketh rich: He bringeth low, he also lifteth up.

8 Bangbangonenna dagiti napanglaw manipud iti tapok. A-aonenna dagiti agkasapulan manipud iti gabsuon ti dapo tapno makipagtugawda kadagiti prinsipe ken tawidenda ti tugaw ti kinatan-ok. Ta dagiti adigi ti daga ket ni Yahweh ti nangisaad ket insaadna ti lubong kadagitoy.

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, He lifteth up the needy from the dunghill, To make them sit with princes, And inherit the throne of glory: For the pillars of the earth are Jehovah’s, And he hath set the world upon them.

9 Bantayannanto dagiti saka dagiti napudno a tattaona, ngem mapaulimekto iti kasipngetan dagiti nadangkes, ta awanto ti agballigi babaen iti bukodna a pigsa.

He will keep the feet of his holy ones; But the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness; For by strength shall no man prevail.

10 Dagiti mangsupsuppiat kenni Yahweh ket marumekto; gurruodannanto ida manipud langit. Ukomento ni Yahweh dagiti pagpatinggaan ti daga, ikkannanto iti pigsa ti arina ken itag-aynanto ti tangguyob ti pinulotanna.”

They that strive with Jehovah shall be broken to pieces; Against them will he thunder in heaven: Jehovah will judge the ends of the earth; And he will give strength unto his king, And exalt the horn of his anointed.

11 Kalpasanna, nagawid ni Elkana iti balayna idiay Rama. Nagserbi ti ubing kenni Yahweh iti imatang ni Eli a padi.

And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto Jehovah before Eli the priest.

12 Ita, dagiti putot ni Eli ket awan serserbida a lallaki. Saanda nga am-ammo ni Yahweh.

Now the sons of Eli were base men; they knew not Jehovah.

13 Ti kaugalian dagiti papadi kadagiti tattao no kasta nga agidatag iti daton ti siasinoman a tao, umay ti adipen ti padi a siiiggem iti tallo ti pangtudokna a tinidor, bayat a mailamlambong ti karne.

And the custom of the priests with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest’s servant came, while the flesh was boiling, with a flesh-hook of three teeth in his hand;

14 Itudokna daytoy kadagiti linaon ti silyasi, wenno dakkel a kaldero, wenno banga. Amin a matudok ti tinidor ket alaen ti padi para iti bagbagina. Inaramidda daytoy iti Silo, kadagiti amin nga Israelita nga umay sadiay.

and he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the flesh-hook brought up the priest took therewith. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither.

15 Ngem ketdi, sakbay a puoranda dagiti taba, umay ti adipen ti padi, ket ibagana iti tao nga agidatdaton, “Mangtedka iti maituno a karne para iti padi; ta saan isuna nga umawat iti nalambong a karne manipud kenka, no di laeng dagiti saan a naluto a karne.”

Yea, before they burnt the fat, the priest’s servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have boiled flesh of thee, but raw.

16 No kunaen ti lalaki kenkuana, “Masapul a puoranda nga umuna ti taba, ket kalpasanna alaenyo ti kayatyo nga alaen.” Ibaga ngarud ti adipen ti padi, “Saan, itedmo kaniak itan; ta no saan, pilitek nga alaen.”

And if the man said unto him, They will surely burn the fat first, and then take as much as thy soul desireth; then he would say, Nay, but thou shalt give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force.

17 Nadagsen unay ti basol dagitoy nga agtutubo iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, ta saanda a rinaem ti daton para kenni Yahweh.

And the sin of the young men was very great before Jehovah; for the men despised the offering of Jehovah.

18 Ngem nagserbi ni Samuel kenni Yahweh kas maysa nga ubing a nakawesan iti lino nga efod.

But Samuel ministered before Jehovah, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.

19 Iyar-aramidan isuna ti inana iti bassit a kagay ket tinawen nga ip-ipanna daytoy kenkuana, no sumang-at isuna a kaduana ti asawana a mangisagot iti tinawen a daton.

Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.

20 Benbendisionan ni Eli da Elkana ken ti asawana a kunana, “Ikkannaka koma ni Yahweh iti ad-adu pay nga annak babaen iti daytoy a babai gapu iti kiniddawna kenni Yahweh.” Kalpasanna, agsublida iti bukodda a pagtaengan.

And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, Jehovah give thee seed of this woman for the petition which was asked of Jehovah. And they went unto their own home.

21 Tinulongan manen ni Yahweh ni Ana, ket nagsikog manen isuna. Naganak pay isuna iti tallo a lallaki ken dua a babbai. Kabayatanna, dimmakkel ti ubing a ni Samuel iti sangoanan ni Yahweh.

And Jehovah visited Hannah, and she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before Jehovah.

22 Ita, lakay unayen ni Eli; nangngegna amin nga ar-aramiden dagiti annakna a lallaki iti entero nga Israel, ken ti panakikakaiddada kadagiti babbai nga agserserbi iti pagserkan ti tabernakulo.

Now Eli was very old; and he heard all that his sons did unto all Israel, and how that they lay with the women that did service at the door of the tent of meeting.

23 Kinunana kadakuada, “Apay nga ar-aramidenyo dagiti kakasta a banbanag? Ta nangngegko manipud kadagitoy a tattao dagiti dakes nga aramidyo.”

And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings from all this people.

24 Saan, annakko; ta daytoy ket saan a nasayaat a damag a mangngegko. Pinagsukiryo dagiti tattao ni Yahweh.

Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make Jehovah’s people to transgress.

25 “No makabasol iti sabali ti maysa a tao, ukomento isuna ti Dios; ngem no makabasol ti tao kenni Yahweh, siasino ti agsao para kenkuana?” Ngem saanda a dimngeg iti timek ti amada, gapu ta inkeddengen ni Yahweh a papatayen ida.

If one man sin against another, God shall judge him; but if a man sin against Jehovah, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding, they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because Jehovah was minded to slay them.

26 Dimmakkel ti ubing a ni Samuel, ken ad-adda a makaay-ayo kenni Yahweh ken kasta met kadagiti tattao.

And the child Samuel grew on, and increased in favor both with Jehovah, and also with men.

27 Ita, immay kenni Eli ti maysa a tao ti Dios ket kinunana kenkuana, “Kuna ni Yahweh, 'Saan kadi nga imparangko ti bagik iti balay ti kapuonam, idi addada iti Egipto a maad-adipen iti balay ni Faraon?

And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Did I reveal myself unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt [in bondage] to Pharaoh’s house?

28 Pinilik isuna manipud kadagiti amin a tribu ti Israel nga agbalin a padik, a sumang-at iti altarko, ken mangpuor iti insenso, a mangikawes iti efod iti sangoanak. Intedko iti balay ti kapuonam dagiti amin a maipuor a sagsagut dagiti tattao ti Israel.

and did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up unto mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings of the children of Israel made by fire?

29 Apay ngarud a saanyo a rinaem dagiti daton ken sagsagut nga imbilinko a kasapulan iti lugar a pagnanaedak? Apay nga ad-adda a raraemem dagiti annakmo ngem siak, babaen iti panagpalukmegyo iti bagbagiyo babaen kadagiti kasasayaatan iti tunggal daton dagiti tattaok nga Israel?'

Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in [my] habitation, and honorest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?

30 Ta kuna ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, 'Inkarik a ti balaymo, ken ti balay ti kapuonam, nasken nga agserbida kaniak iti agnanayon.' Ngem ita, kuna ni Yahweh, ‘Saankon nga aramiden daytoy, ta raemek dagiti agraem kaniak, ngem dagiti saan a mangraem kaniak ket mabainanto.

Therefore Jehovah, the God of Israel, saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now Jehovah saith, Be it far from me; for them that honor me I will honor, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

31 Dumngegka, umayen dagiti aldaw a pukawek ti pigsam ken ti pigsa ti balay ni amam, tapno awanton ti lakay iti balaymo.

Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father’s house, that there shall not be an old man in thy house.

32 Makitamto ti pannakariribuk iti lugar a pagnanaedak. Uray maitedto ti kinaimbag iti Israel, awanton a pulos ti siasinoman a lakay iti balaymo.

And thou shalt behold the affliction of [my] habitation, in all the wealth which [God] shall give Israel; and there shall not be an old man in thy house for ever.

33 Siasinoman kadakayo a saanko a papanawen iti altarko, pagbulsekekto dagiti matayo, ken paladingitekto ti biagmo. Amin dagiti lallaki a maiyanak iti pamiliam ket matayto.

And the man of thine, [whom] I shall not cut off from mine altar, [shall be] to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thy heart; and all the increase of thy house shall die in the flower of their age.

34 Daytoyto ti pagilasinam nga umayto kadagiti dua a putotmo, ni Ofni ken ni Finees: Mataydanto a dua iti maymaysa nga aldaw.

And this shall be the sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die both of them.

35 Mangisaadakto iti napudno a padi para kaniak, a mangaramidto no ania ti adda iti pusok ken kararuak. Mangipasdekakto iti natalged a balay para kenkuana; ket agnanayon nga agserbinto isuna iti pinilik nga ari.

And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever.

36 Tunggal maysa a mabati iti balaymo ket mapanto agruknoy iti dayta a tao, a dumawat iti pidaso ti pirak ken tinapay, ket kunananto, “Pangngaasim ta isaadnak iti maysa kadagiti saad ti padi tapno makapanganak iti maysa a pidaso a tinapay."”'

And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thy house shall come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests’ offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread.
