< 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 she said, "My heart rejoices in Jehovah. My strength rises up in my God. My mouth boasts over my enemies, because I rejoice in your 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.
Truly, there is no one as holy as Jehovah. Truly, there is no one besides you, nor 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.
Do not speak boastfully or let arrogance come out of your mouth, for Jehovah is a God of knowledge. 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. Those who stumbled are armed 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.
Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread. Those who were hungry are satisfied. Even the barren has borne seven, and she who has many children languishes.
6 Mangpapatay ni Yahweh ken mangmangted iti biag. Isuna ti mangipababa idiay sheol ken isuna ti mangpagpagungar. (Sheol h7585)
Jehovah kills, and makes alive. He brings down to Sheol, and brings up. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ni Yahweh ti mangpapapanglaw ken mangpabaknang. Mangipababa isuna, ngem mangitan-ok met isuna.
Jehovah makes poor, and makes rich. He brings low, he also lifts 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 raises up the poor out of the dust. He lifts 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. He has set the world on 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 guard the feet of his faithful ones, but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness. For no man will prevail by strength.
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.”
Those who strive with Jehovah will be broken to pieces. He will thunder against them in the sky. "Jehovah will judge the farthest parts of the earth. He will give strength to 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 she went to Ramah, while the child served 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 worthless men; they did not know 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.
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 fork 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 fork brought up the priest took therewith. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.
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.”
Yes, before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man who sacrificed, "Give meat to roast for the priest; for he will not accept boiled meat from you, 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.”
If the man said to him, "Let the fat be burned first, and then take all of it which your soul desires"; then he would say, "No, but you shall give it to 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.
The sin of the young men was very great before Jehovah; for they 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, clothed 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 would bless Elkanah and his wife, and said, "May Jehovah repay you with offspring by this woman for the gift which she made to Jehovah." And the man returned to his 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.
Jehovah visited Hannah, and she bore more children, three sons and two daughters. 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 what his sons did to the children of Israel (and how that they lay with the women who served 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 to them, "Why do you do such things as these that I hear being said of you from the mouth of the people of Jehovah?
24 Saan, annakko; ta daytoy ket saan a nasayaat a damag a mangngegko. Pinagsukiryo dagiti tattao ni Yahweh.
No, my sons, do not do this. For it is not a good report that I hear the people of Jehovah spreading.
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 a man sins gravely against another, he can appeal to Jehovah; but if a man sins against Jehovah, who can intercede for him?" But, they did not listen to the voice of their father, because Jehovah intended to kill them.
26 Dimmakkel ti ubing a ni Samuel, ken ad-adda a makaay-ayo kenni Yahweh ken kasta met kadagiti tattao.
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?
A man of God came to Eli, and said, "Thus says Jehovah, I plainly revealed myself to the house of your father, when they were slaves in Egypt to the house of Pharaoh.
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 I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod. And I gave to the house of your father all the offerings by fire of the children of Israel as food.
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?'
Then why do you look at my sacrifice and my offering with a selfish eye, and honor your sons more than me in letting them eat from the first part of every offering of Israel before me?'
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, says, 'I said indeed that your house, and the house of your father, should walk before me forever.' But now Jehovah says, 'Be it far from me; for those who honor me I will honor, and those who 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.
Look, the days come, that I will cut off your descendants, and the descendants of your father's house, that there shall not be an old man in your 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 you will see distress in the dwelling place, in all that he does good with Israel. And there will not be an old man in your house all the days.
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 yours I do not cut off from my altar will be to cause his eyes to fail and to grieve his soul, and all the increase of your house will die by the sword of men.
34 Daytoyto ti pagilasinam nga umayto kadagiti dua a putotmo, ni Ofni ken ni Finees: Mataydanto a dua iti maymaysa nga aldaw.
"'This shall be the sign to you, that shall come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall both 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.
I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind. I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before my anointed forever.
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."”'
It shall happen, that everyone who is left in your house shall come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say, "Please put me into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread."'"
