1 Samue 1

1 Hagi mago nera Elkana'e nehia ne' mani'ne. Hagi ana nera Rama kumateti Efraemi naga'pinti nekino, nefa agi'a Jerohamu'e. Hagi negeho agi'a Elihu'e, agigomofo agi'a Tuhu'e.

Now there was a man named Elkanah who was from Ramathaim-zophim in the hill country of Ephraim. He was the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.

2 Hagi Elkana'a tare a' zanante'neankino magomofo agi'a Hanaki, magomo'a Penina'e. Hagi Penina'a mofavrea ante'neanki, Hana'a mofavre onte'ne.

He had two wives, one named Hannah and the other Peninnah. And Peninnah had children, but Hannah had none.

3 Hagi mago mago kafurera Elkana'a a' mofavre'a zamavareno atruhu seli mono noma Sailo me'nerega vuno, Hanavenentake Ra Anumzamofontera monora ome nehuno kresramana vutere hu'ne. Hagi ana knafina Ra Anumzamofo pristi nera Eli mani'neankino, tare mofavre'amokizni zanagi'a Hofanie'ene Finiasike. Hagi zanagra neznafana aza huke ana knafina pristi eri'zana eri'na'e.

Year after year Elkanah would go up from his city to worship and sacrifice to the LORD of Hosts at Shiloh, where Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests to the LORD.

4 Hagi Elkana'ma ofama erino'ma egezama kresramnama vazanknarera Peninane maka ne'mofa'anena ana ofafintira ame'a refako huno zamitere hu'ne.

And whenever the day came for Elkanah to present his sacrifice, he would give portions to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters.

5 Hianagi Hanana Ra Anumzamo'a rimpa erigigeno mofavrea onte'neanagi, Elkana'a avesinteno ante agofetu huno ofama nehifintira rama'a zantami amitere hu'ne.

But to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved her even though the LORD had closed her womb.

6 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma Hanama rimpama erigigeno mofavrema onte'nea zankura Penina'a kiza zokago ke hunteno, maka knafina azeri haviza hutere higeno, rimpamo'a ata negrigeno asunku zampi Hana'a manitere hu'ne.

Because the LORD had closed Hannah’s womb, her rival would provoke her and taunt her viciously.

7 Hagi kafune kafunema Ra Anumzamofo seli mono nontegama vuterema nehazageno'a, Penina'a Hanana ana kege huntetere nehuno, arimpa eri haviza nehigeno Hana'a zaviraneteno ne'zana onetere hu'ne.

And this went on year after year. Whenever Hannah went up to the house of the LORD, her rival taunted her until she wept and would not eat.

8 Ana'ma higeno'a neve' Elkana'a amanage hu'ne, Nahigenka ne'zana a'o nehankeno krimpa haviza nehigenka zavira netane? Kagra 10ni'a Mofavre antegahananagi antahintahikafina nagrikura kavesinantegahane.

“Hannah, why are you crying?” her husband Elkanah asked. “Why won’t you eat? Why is your heart so grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”

9 Hagi mago zupa Sailo kumate mani'ne'za ne'zane tinema nevagaretazageno, Hana'a otino nunamu hunaku mono nontega vu'ne. Hagi ana knarera pristi ne' Eli'a Ra Anumzamofo seli mono nonpima ufre kahante pristi vahe'ma nemaniza trate mani'ne.

So after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh, Hannah stood up. Now Eli the priest was sitting on a chair by the doorpost of the temple of the LORD.

10 Hagi Hana'a rama'a asunku nehuno zavira neteno agu'areti huno Ra Anumzamofontega nunamuna nehuno,

In her bitter distress, Hannah prayed to the LORD and wept with many tears.

11 Ra Anumzamofontega amanage huno huvempagea hu'ne, Ra Anumzana hanavenentake hu'namoka eri'za akamo'na natazana negenka, kasunku hunantenka ne' mofavrea nami'nanke'na, ete ana mofavrea Ra Anumzamoka kagri kaminenkeno, mika zupa kagrane manigahie. Hagi ana mofavrema Ra Anumzamokare'ma azeri ruotge hu avame'zama mesiana, azokara oharetfa hugahie.

And she made a vow, pleading, “O LORD of Hosts, if only You will look upon the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, not forgetting Your maidservant but giving her a son, then I will dedicate him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall ever come over his head.”

12 Hagi Hanama antahintahifima nunamuma huno Ra Anumzamofoma antahinegegeno'a Eli'a ana a'mofo agipi keteno mani'ne.

As Hannah kept on praying before the LORD, Eli watched her mouth.

13 Hana'a antahintahifi nunamuna nehigeno, agi'mo'a kaza hianagi nunamuma hia agerura Eli'a ontahi'ne. Ana'ma hia zankura Eli'a agesama antahiana Hana'a akati ne'neno negi ne'negahie huno hu'ne.

Hannah was praying in her heart, and though her lips were moving, her voice could not be heard. So Eli thought she was drunk

14 Anage nehuno Eli'a amanage hu'ne, Aka ti nenenka neginenananki aka tima nenanazana atro.

and said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Put away your wine!”

15 Hianagi Hana'a kenona'a amanage hu'ne, ra ne'moka nagra anara osu'noanki, nagu'afina knaza me'nege'na ana knazani'a eri'na Ra Anumzamofontega eme huama nehue.

“No, my lord,” Hannah replied. “I am a woman oppressed in spirit. I have not had any wine or strong drink, but I have poured out my soul before the LORD.

16 Hagi nagrikura havi are hunka kagesa antahionamio, nagra nasuzampine, nata zampi mani'ne'na nunamuna nehue.

Do not take your servant for a wicked woman; for all this time I have been praying out of the depth of my anguish and grief.”

17 Higeno Eli'a kenona amanage hu'ne, Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a antahigana zana amane kamigahianki, krimpa fru nehunka vuo.

“Go in peace,” Eli replied, “and may the God of Israel grant the petition you have asked of Him.”

18 Higeno Hana'a huno, ra ne'moka eri'za akamo'na antahinamio, huno Elina nesamino vuno ne'zana ome neneno, mago'ene asuzampina omani'ne.

“May your maidservant find favor with you,” said Hannah. Then she went on her way, and she began eating again, and her face was no longer downcast.

19 Hagi anante nanterana maka naga'mo'za oti'za Ra Anumzamofo avuga monora hute'za, ete kumazamirega Rama vu'naze. Hagi Elkana'a nenaro Hanana anteno masegeno, Ra Anumzamo'a Hana'ma nunamuma hu'nea zanku antahimi'ne.

The next morning Elkanah and Hannah got up early to bow in worship before the LORD, and then returned home to Ramah. And Elkanah had relations with his wife Hannah, and the LORD remembered her.

20 Ana higeno Hana'a amu'ene huno ne' mofavre kasenteno, Ra Anumzamofo antahigogeno namie nehuno, Samueli'e huno agi'a antemi'ne.

So in the course of time, Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked for him from the LORD.”

21 Hagi anante kafurera Elkana'a a' mofavre'ane kafugu kafugu'ma Ra Anumzamofontega kre sramana nevazaza hu'za kresramana nevu'za, huvempa kema hu'nea kema eri knare hanagu Sailo kumate vu'naze.

Then Elkanah and all his house went up to make the annual sacrifice to the LORD and to fulfill his vow,

22 Hianagi Hana'a zamagranena marerino ovu nemanino amanage huno nevena asami'ne, Mofavremo'ma amima atresanige'na avre'na vanugeno Ra Anumzamofo nompi umani vava hugahie.

but Hannah did not go. “After the boy is weaned,” she said to her husband, “I will take him to appear before the LORD and to stay there permanently.”

23 Higeno Elkana'a kenona'a hunteno kagrama antahisankeno knare'ma haniaza hunka maninenka mofavre amina neminka azeri ra huo. Hagi mani'negeno Ra Anumzamofonte'ma huvempage hu'nana zana kazeri knare hanie. Higeno Hana'a ovu mani'neno mofavrea kegava huso'e nehigeno, ra huno amina atre'ne.

“Do what you think is best,” her husband Elkanah replied, “and stay here until you have weaned him. Only may the LORD confirm His word.” So Hannah stayed and nursed her son until she had weaned him.

24 Hagi ana mofavremo'ma rama huno amima netregeno'a osi mofavre mani'neanagi nerera'a nevreno, 3'a kafu hu'nea bulimakaonki, 10ni'a kilo hu'nea flauaki, mago tafempi waini tina e'nerino, ana mofavrenena avreno Ra Anumzamofo nontega Sailo kumate marerino vu'ne.

Once she had weaned him, Hannah took the boy with her, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine. Though the boy was still young, she brought him to the house of the LORD at Shiloh.

25 Hagi ana bulimakaoma ahegite'za, ana mofavrea avre'za Elinte vu'naze.

And when they had slaughtered the bull, they brought the boy to Eli.

26 Hana'a amanage huno Elina asami'ne, ranimoke, ko'ma tava'onire'ma amare'ma mani'nankena'ma, Ra Anumzamofoma antahige'noa a' oe.

“Please, my lord,” said Hannah, “as surely as you live, my lord, I am the woman who stood here beside you praying to the LORD.

27 Ama mofavrea nunamu hu'na Ra Anumzamofo antahigogeno nunamuni'ama antahinamino nami'nea mofavre.

I prayed for this boy, and since the LORD has granted me what I asked of Him,

28 Ana hu'negu menina ama mofavrea Ra Anumzamofo ami vagaroankino mani'noma vania knafina Ra Anumzamofo vahere huno manino vugahie. Na'ankure ana mofavremo'a Ra Anumzamofo nompi mika kna mani'neno, Ra Anumzamofo eri'zana erigahie. Higeno agra anampi Ra Anumzamofo agi erisga hu'ne.

I now dedicate the boy to the LORD. For as long as he lives, he is dedicated to the LORD.” So they worshiped the LORD there.
