1 Saamuʼeel 1
1 Namicha biyya gaara Efreem keessa Raamaatayiim Zoofiim jiraatu kan maqaan isaa Elqaanaa jedhamu tokkotu ture; innis ilma Yeroohaam, ilma Eliihuu, ilma Toohuu, ilma Zuufi, ilma Naasiib ture.
And there is a certain man of Ramathaim-Zophim, of the hill-country of Ephraim, and his name [is] Elkanah, son of Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, and Ephrathite,
2 Innis niitii lama qaba ture; maqaan ishee tokko Haannaa, kaan immoo Pheniinaa jedhama ture. Pheniinaan ijoollee qabdi; Haannaan garuu ijoollee tokko illee hin qabdu ture.
and he hath two wives, the name of the one [is] Hannah, and the name of the second Peninnah, and Peninnah hath children, and Hannah hath no children.
3 Elqaanaan wagguma waggaadhaan Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuuf aarsaa dhiʼeessuu fi sagaduudhaaf magaalaa jiraatuu kaʼee gara Shiilootti ol baʼa ture. Achittis ilmaan Eelii lamaan Hofniinii fi Fiinehaas luboota Waaqayyoo turan.
And that man hath gone up out of his city from time to time, to bow himself, and to sacrifice, before Jehovah of Hosts, in Shiloh, and there [are] two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests to Jehovah.
4 Yommuu guyyaan itti Elqaanaan aarsaa dhiʼeessu gaʼutti inni niitii isaa Pheniinaa, ilmaan isaatii fi intallan isaa hundaaf foon sana irraa qooda isaanii ni kenna ture.
And the day cometh, and Elkanah sacrificeth, and he hath given to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions,
5 Inni sababii Haannaa jaallatuuf qooda harka lama isheedhaaf kenna ture; Waaqayyo garuu gadameessa ishee cufee ture.
and to Hannah he giveth a certain portion — double, for he hath loved Hannah, and Jehovah hath shut her womb;
6 Sababii Waaqayyo gadameessa Haannaa cufeef masaanuun ishee akka isheen aartuuf ishee tuttuqaa turte.
and her adversity hath also provoked her greatly, so as to make her tremble, for Jehovah hath shut up her womb.
7 Kunis wagguma waggaadhaan itti fufe. Yeroo Haannaan gara mana Waaqayyootti ol baatutti masaanuun ishee, ishee tuttuqaa turte; kanaafuu Haannaan ni boossi, nyaatas hin nyaattu turte.
And so he doth year by year, from the time of her going up into the house of Jehovah, so it provoketh her, and she weepeth, and doth not eat.
8 Dhirsi ishee Elqaanaanis, “Haannaa ati maaliif boossa? Maaliif hin nyaattu? Garaan kee maaliif gaddaa? Ani ilmaan kudhan siif hin caaluu?” Isheen jedha ture.
And Elkanah her husband saith to her, 'Hannah, why weepest thou? and why dost thou not eat? and why is thy heart afflicted? am I not better to thee than ten sons?'
9 Gaafa tokko isaan Shiilootti erga nyaatanii dhuganii booddee Haannaan ol kaatee dhaabate. Eeliin lubichi dhaaba balbala mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo bira barcuma irra taaʼaa ture.
And Hannah riseth after eating in Shiloh, and after drinking, and Eli the priest is sitting on the throne by the side-post of the temple of Jehovah.
10 Haannaanis guddaa gadditee hiqqifatee booʼuudhaan Waaqayyoon kadhatte.
And she is bitter in soul, and prayeth unto Jehovah, and weepeth greatly,
11 Akkanas jettee wareegde; “Yaa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandeessu, yoo ati dhiphina garbittii keetii ilaaltee na yaadatte, yoo ati garbittii kee dagachuu baattee ilma naa kennite ani bara jireenya isaa guutuu isa Waaqayyoof nan kenna; qarabaan tokko iyyuu mataa isaa hin tuqu.”
and voweth a vow, and saith, 'Jehovah of Hosts, if Thou dost certainly look on the affliction of Thy handmaid, and hast remembered me, and dost not forget Thy handmaid, and hast given to Thy handmaid seed of men — then I have given him to Jehovah all days of his life, and a razor doth not go up upon his head.'
12 Yeroo Haannaan ittuma fuftee fuula Waaqayyoo duratti kadhachaa turtettis Eeliin afaan ishee ilaalaa ture.
And it hath been, when she multiplied praying before Jehovah, that Eli is watching her mouth,
13 Haannaanis garaa isheetti kadhachaa turte; hidhii isheetu sochoʼa malees sagaleen ishee hin dhagaʼamu ture. Kanaafuu Eeliin waan isheen machoofte seʼee,
and Hannah, she is speaking to her heart, only her lips are moving, and her voice is not heard, and Eli reckoneth her to be drunken.
14 “Ati hamma yoomiitti machoofta? Daadhii wayinii kee of irraa fageessi” jedheen.
And Eli saith unto her, 'Until when are thou drunken? turn aside thy wine from thee.'
15 Haannaanis akkana jettee deebifte; “Lakki akkas miti; yaa gooftaa ko, ani dubartii akka malee dhiphatee dha. Ani lubbuu koo fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhangalaase malee daadhii wayinii yookaan dhugaatii nama macheessu hin dhugne.
And Hannah answereth and saith, 'No, my lord, A woman sharply pained in spirit I [am], and wine and strong drink I have not drunk, and I pour out my soul before Jehovah;
16 Ati garbittii kee akka dubartii faayidaa hin qabne tokkootti hin ilaalin. Ani sababii dhiphinaa fi gadda koo guddaa sanaatiif hamma ammaatti kadhachaara.”
put not thy handmaid before a daughter of worthlessness, for from the abundance of my meditation, and of my provocation, I have spoken hitherto.'
17 Eeliinis, “Nagaan deemi; Waaqni Israaʼel waan ati kadhatte siif haa kennu” jedhee deebiseef.
And Eli answereth and saith, 'Go in peace, and the God of Israel doth give thy petition which thou hast asked of Him.'
18 Isheenis, “Garbittiin kee fuula kee duratti surraa haa argattu” jette. Ergasiis deemsa ishee itti fufte; nyaata ni nyaatte; gaddis fuula ishee irratti hin mulʼanne.
And she saith, 'Let thy handmaid find grace in thine eyes;' and the woman goeth on her way, and eateth, and her countenance hath not been [sad] for it any more.
19 Isaanis guyyaa itti aanu ganama barii kaʼanii fuula Waaqayyoo duratti sagadanii gara mana isaanii Raamaatti deebiʼan. Elqaanaan niitii isaa Haannaa bira gaʼe; Waaqayyos ishee yaadate.
And they rise early in the morning, and bow themselves before Jehovah, and turn back, and come in unto their house in Ramah, and Elkanah knoweth Hannah his wife, and Jehovah remembereth her;
20 Haannaan ulfooftee yeroon isaa geenyaan ilma deesse. Maqaa isaas, “Ani Waaqayyo irraa isa kadhadheeraatii” jettee Saamuʼeel jettee moggaafte.
and it cometh to pass, at the revolution of the days, that Hannah conceiveth, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Samuel, 'for, from Jehovah I have asked him.'
21 Elqaanaan warra mana isaa jiraatan hunda wajjin Waaqayyoof aarsaa waggaa dhiʼeessuu fi wareega isaa galchuuf ol baʼe;
And the man Elkanah goeth up, and all his house, to sacrifice to Jehovah the sacrifice of the days, and his vow.
22 Haannaan garuu hin dhaqne. Isheenis dhirsa isheetiin, “Erga mucaan kun harma guʼee booddee ani isa geesseen fuula Waaqayyoo duratti isa dhiʼeessa; innis jireenya isaa guutuu achuma jiraata” jette.
And Hannah hath not gone up, for she said to her husband, 'Till the youth is weaned — then I have brought him in, and he hath appeared before the face of Jehovah, and dwelt there — unto the age.'
23 Dhirsi ishee Elqaanaanis, “Waanuma jaallatte godhi; ati hamma harma isa guusiftutti asuma turi; Waaqayyo garuu dubbii isaa fiixaan haa baasu” jedheen. Kanaafuu dubartittiin mana turtee hamma harma isa guusiftutti ilma ishee hoosifte.
And Elkanah her husband saith to her, 'Do that which is good in thine eyes; abide till thy weaning him; only, Jehovah establish His word;' and the woman abideth and suckleth her son till she hath weaned him,
24 Ishee erga mucicha harma guusiftee booddee mucichaa fi dibicha loonii kan umuriin isaa waggaa sadii taʼe, daakuu iifii tokkoo fi daadhii wayinii qalqalloo tokko fudhattee gara Shiiloo gara mana Waaqayyootti fidde. Mucichis daaʼima ture.
and she causeth him to go up with her when she hath weaned him, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and she bringeth him into the house of Jehovah at Shiloh, and the youth [is but] a youth.
25 Isaanis dibicha sana qalanii mucicha gara Eeliitti fidan;
And they slaughter the bullock, and bring in the youth unto Eli,
26 isheenis akkana jetteen; “Yaa gooftaa ko, duʼa lubbuu keetii ti; dubartiin as si bira dhaabattee Waaqayyoon kadhachaa turte sun anuma.
and she saith, 'O, my lord, thy soul liveth! my lord, I [am] the woman who stood with thee in this [place], to pray unto Jehovah;
27 Ani mucaa kana argachuuf kadhadheera; Waaqayyos waan ani isa kadhadhe naaf kenneera.
for this youth I prayed, and Jehovah doth give to me my petition which I asked of Him;
28 Kanaafuu ani amma Waaqayyoofan isa kenna. Bara jireenya isaa guutuu Waaqayyoof ni kennama.” Isaanis achitti Waaqayyoof sagadan.
and also I have caused him to be asked for Jehovah, all the days that he hath lived — he is asked for Jehovah;' and he boweth himself there before Jehovah.
