< 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 is glad in the Lord, my horn is exalted through the Lord: my mouth is enlarged over my 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 like the Lord; for there is none beside thee; and there is not 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 arrogance come out of your mouth; for a God of knowledge is the Lord, and by him are actions weighed.
4 Matukkol dagiti bai dagiti nabileg a lallaki, ngem dagiti maitibkul, pumigsada a kasla barikes.
The bow of the mighty is broken, and those 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 hire themselves out for bread; and they that were hungry cease [from labor]: while the barren hath born seven, she that hath many children fadeth away.
6 Mangpapatay ni Yahweh ken mangmangted iti biag. Isuna ti mangipababa idiay sheol ken isuna ti mangpagpagungar. (Sheol h7585)
The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ni Yahweh ti mangpapapanglaw ken mangpabaknang. Mangipababa isuna, ngem mangitan-ok met isuna.
The Lord maketh poor and maketh rich: he bringeth low and 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 out of the dust the poor, from the dunghill he lifteth up the needy, to set them among nobles, and he assigneth them the throne of glory; for the Lord's are the pillars of the earth, on which he hath set the world.
9 Bantayannanto dagiti saka dagiti napudno a tattaona, ngem mapaulimekto iti kasipngetan dagiti nadangkes, ta awanto ti agballigi babaen iti bukodna a pigsa.
He ever guardeth the feet of his pious ones, and the wicked shall be made silent in darkness; for not by strength can 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.”
The Lord—his adversaries will be crushed; out of heaven will he thunder upon them: the Lord will judge the ends of the earth; and he will give strength unto his king, and lift up 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 lad was ministering unto the Lord before 'Eli the priest.
12 Ita, dagiti putot ni Eli ket awan serserbida a lallaki. Saanda nga am-ammo ni Yahweh.
And the sons of 'Eli were worthless men: they knew not the Lord.
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 a sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while [the man] was seething the flesh, with a fork with 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 the kettle, or the caldron, or the pot; [and] all that the fork brought up the priest took away with it. So did they unto all the Israelites that came thither, to Shiloh.
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.”
Even before they had yet burnt the fat, the priest's servant would come, and say to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not take from thee sodden flesh, 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 presently burn the fat, and then take whatever thy soul may long for: then would he say, No; 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 the Lord; for the men despised the offering of the Lord.
18 Ngem nagserbi ni Samuel kenni Yahweh kas maysa nga ubing a nakawesan iti lino nga efod.
But Samuel was ministering before the Lord, being a lad, 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 used to make him a little overcoat, 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, May the Lord give thee seed from this woman instead of the loan who is lent to the Lord. And they went back unto his place.
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 truly the Lord visited Hannah, and she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters. And the lad Samuel grew up before the Lord.
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 heard all that his sons were in the habit of doing unto all Israel; and how they would lie with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
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 will ye do 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.
No, my sons; for the report that I hear is not good, which the Lord's people spread abroad.
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, the judge shall judge him; but if against the Lord a man should sin, who shall pray for him? Nevertheless would they not hearken unto the voice of their father, because the Lord desired 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 lad Samuel was constantly growing and increasing in favor both with the Lord, 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 hath said the Lord, Did I [not] appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt, in 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 [not] choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to me as a priest, to offer upon my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I [not] give unto the house of thy father all the fire-offerings of the children of Israel?
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 my meat-offering, which I have commanded in [my] habitation? and [why] honoredst thou thy sons above me, to fatten yourselves with the first of every offering 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 saith the Lord the God of Israel, I had indeed said, Thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever; but now, saith the Lord, Be it far from me; for those that honor me will I honor, and those 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, days are coming, that I will hew off thy arm, and the arm of thy father's house, so 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 a rival in my habitation, in all that by which he will do good for Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thy house in all times.
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 yet I will not cut off the men descended from thee from my altar, to consume thy eyes, and to grieve thy soul: and all the increase of thy house shall die as [vigorous] men.
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 unto thee the sign, that shall happen on thy two sons, on Chophni and Phinehas: On one day shall they, both of them, die.
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 up to me a faithful priest, who shall do in accordance with what is in my heart and in my mind; and I will build for him an enduring house; and he shall walk before my anointed in all times.
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 whoever is left in thy house shall come to bow down to him for a gera of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say, Attach me, I pray thee, unto one of the priestly offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.
