1 Saamuʼeel 2
1 Haannaanis akkana jettee kadhatte: “Garaan koo Waaqayyotti ni gammada; gaanfi koos Waaqayyoon ol kaafama. Afaan koos diinota koo irratti of jaja; ani fayyisuu keetti nan gammadaatii.
And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, my horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over my enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.
2 “Qulqulluun akka Waaqayyoo tokko iyyuu hin jiru; si malees eenyu iyyuu hin jiru; kattaan akka Waaqa keenyaa tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none besides thee: neither is there any rock like our God.
3 “Of jajuudhaan hin dubbatinaa; yookaan dubbiin of tuulummaa akkasii afaan keessanii hin baʼin; Waaqayyo Waaqa beekaadhaatii; hojiiwwanis isaan madaalamu.
Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let no arrogance come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
4 “Iddaawwan namoota jajjaboo caccabaniiru; namoonni dadhaboon garuu humna hidhataniiru.
The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
5 Warri quufanii turan buddeenatti of gurguraniiru; warri beelaʼanii turan garuu siʼachi hin beelaʼan. Isheen dhabduu turte ijoollee torba deesse; isheen ijoollee baayʼee qabdu immoo ni dhabde.
They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath borne seven; and she that hath many children is become feeble.
The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up. (Sheol h7585)
7 Waaqayyo ni hiyyoomsa; ni sooromsas; ni salphisa; ni ulfeessas.
The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.
8 Inni hiyyeeyyii awwaara keessaa ni kaasa; rakkattootas tuulaa daaraa keessaa ol fuudha; inni ilmaan mootii wajjin isaan ni teessisa; barcuma ulfinaas isaan dhaalchisa. “Hundeewwan lafaa kan Waaqayyoo ti; inni hundeewwan sana irra addunyaa kaaʼeera.
He raiseth the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’S, and he hath set the world upon them.
9 Inni miilla qulqulloota isaa ni eega; namoonni hamoon garuu dukkana keessatti calʼisu. “Namni jabina isaatiin hin moʼatu;
He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
10 warri Waaqayyoon morman ni caccabsamu. Inni samiidhaa isaanitti qaqawweessaʼa. Waaqayyo daarii lafaatti ni murteessa. “Inni mootii isaatiif jabina ni kenna; gaanfa dibamaa isaa illee ol ni kaasa.”
The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
11 Ergasii Elqaanaan gara mana isaa Raamaatti gale; mucichi garuu Eelii lubicha jalatti fuula Waaqayyoo dura tajaajilaa ture.
And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child ministered to the LORD before Eli the priest.
12 Ilmaan Eelii namoota hamoo turan; Waaqayyonis hin sodaatan ture.
Now the sons of Eli were worthless men; they knew not the LORD.
13 Akka bartee luboonni saba wajjin qabaniitti yeroo namni kam iyyuu aarsaa dhiʼeessutti utuma foon affeelamaa jiruu tajaajilaan lubichaa hokkoo quba sadii qabu tokko harkatti qabatee dhufee
And the priests’ custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest’s servant came, while the flesh was boiling, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand;
14 beddee yookaan huuroo yookaan okkotee yookaan xuwwee keessa galcha ture; lubichis waanuma qabduun sun ol baase ofii isaatii fudhata ture. Israaʼeloota gara Shiiloo dhufan hundas haaluma kanaan keessumsiisu turan.
And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites that came there.
15 Garuu utuma coomni isaa hin gubamin dura tajaajilaan lubichaa dhufee nama aarsaa qalmaa dhiʼeessuun, “Waan lubichi foon dheedhii malee affeelamaa si harkaa hin fudhanneef waan isaaf waadamu naa kenni” jedha ture.
Also 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 Yoo namichi sun, “Jalqaba coomni isaa haa gubamu; ergasii kan barbaadde fudhadhu” jedheenis, tajaajilaan sun deebisee, “Hin taʼuu ammuma naa kenni; yoo ati didde immoo ani humnaan nan fudhadha” isaan jedha ture.
And if any man said to him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, Nay; but thou shalt give it to me now: and if not, I will take it by force.
17 Cubbuun dargaggootaa kun fuula Waaqayyoo duratti akka malee guddaa ture; isaan aarsaa Waaqayyoof dhiʼeeffamu ni tuffatu tureetii.
Therefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.
18 Saamuʼeel garuu dirata quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame uffatee fuula Waaqayyoo dura ni tajaajila ture.
But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.
19 Haati isaa yommuu wagguma waggaan aarsaa waggaa dhiʼeessuuf dhirsa ishee wajjin ol baatutti wandaboo xinnoo ishee hojjettee ni geessitiif turte.
Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
20 Eeliinis, “Dubartii kana irraa qooda ilma isheen Waaqayyoof kennite sanaa Waaqayyo ijoollee isheef haa kennuu” jedhee Elqaanaa fi niitii isaa eebbise. Isaanis deebiʼanii mana isaaniitti galan.
And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went to their own home.
21 Waaqayyos Haannaa ni yaadate; isheenis ulfooftee ilmaan sadii fi intallan lama ni deesse. Saamuʼeel mucichis fuula Waaqayyoo duratti ni guddate.
And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.

Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did to all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
23 Kanaafuu inni akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Hammina isin gootan ani saba hundumaa irraa dhagaʼeera; isin maaliif waan akkasii gootu?
And he said to them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.
24 Lakkisaa yaa ilmaan koo; oduun saba Waaqayyoo keessa facaʼee ani dhagaʼu kun gaarii miti.
Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD’S people to transgress.
25 Namni tokko yoo nama biraatti cubbuu hojjete Waaqayyotu gidduu galaaf; garuu yoo namni tokko Waaqayyotti cubbuu hojjete eenyutu gidduu galaaf?” Taʼus sababii Waaqayyo isaan ajjeesuu barbaadeef ilmaan Eelii gorsa abbaa isaanii hin dhageenye.
If one man shall sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man shall sin against the LORD, who shall plead for him? However they hearkened not to the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them.
26 Saamuʼeel mucichis guddachaa deemee fuula Waaqayyootii fi fuula namaa duratti surraa argate.
And the child Samuel continued to grow, and was in favour both with the LORD, and also with men.
27 Namni Waaqaa tokko gara Eelii dhufee akkana jedheen; “Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘Yeroo manni abbaa keetii biyya Gibxi keessa garbummaa Faraʼoon jala turetti ani isatti of mulʼifnee?
And there came a man of God to Eli, and said to him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear to the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh’s house?
28 Akka inni luba koo taʼuuf, akka inni gara iddoo aarsaa kootti ol baʼuuf, akka inni ixaana aarsuu fi akka fuula koo duratti dirata uffatuuf, ani gosoota Israaʼel hunda keessa abbaa kee filadheera; akkasumas aarsaa Israaʼeloonni ibiddaan dhiʼeessan hunda maatii abbaa keetiitiif kenneera.
And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give to the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?
29 Egaa isin maaliif qalmaa fi aarsaa ani ajaje sana tuffatu? Ati maaliif aarsaa saba koo Israaʼeliin dhiʼeeffamu keessaa filatamaa isaa nyaatanii of gabbisuudhaan ana caalaatti ijoollee keetiif ulfina kennita?’
Why trample ye at my sacrifice and at my offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?
30 “Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: ‘Manni keetii fi manni abbaa keetii bara baraan fuula koo dura akka tajaajilaniif ani waadaa galee ture.’ Amma garuu Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘Kun ana irraa haa fagaatu! Warra ulfina naa kennan nan ulfeessa; warri na tuffatan immoo ni tuffatamu.
Therefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
31 Akka maatii kee keessatti jaarsi hin argamneef, yeroon ani itti jabina keetii fi jabina maatii abbaa keetii cabsu tokko ni dhufa;
Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thy arm, and the arm of thy father’s house, that there shall not be an old man in thy house.
32 iddoo jireenya koo keessattis rakkina argita. Israaʼeliif wanni gaariin yoo godhamu iyyuu, toora maatii keetii keessatti jaarsi hin argamu.
And thou shalt see an enemy in 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 Namni ani iddoo aarsaa koo biraa hin balleessin hundi ija kee imimmaaniin jaamsuu fi garaa kee gaddisiisuuf hambifama; ijoolleen kee hundinuus umurii ijoollummaatti duʼu.
And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from my altar, shall be to consume thy eyes, and to grieve thy heart: and all the increase of thy house shall die in the flower of their age.
34 “‘Wanni ilmaan kee lamaan Hofniinii fi Fiinehaasitti dhufu siif mallattoo taʼa; isaan lachanuu guyyuma tokkotti dhumu.
And this shall be a sign to thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.
35 Ani luba amanamaa kan akka waan garaa koo keessa jiruu fi akka waan yaada koo keessa jiruutti hojjetu tokko ofii kootiif nan kaafadha; ani isaaf mana bara baraa nan ijaara; innis fuula dibamaa kootii dura bara baraan tajaajila.
And I will raise up for myself 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 my anointed for ever.
36 Namni sanyii kee keessaa hafe hundis, “Akka ani muraa buddeena tokkoo illee nyaadhuuf hojii lubummaa keessaa tokko irratti na ramadi” jedhe dhufee meetii tokkoo fi buddeena tokkoof fuula isaa duratti kufee sagadaaf.’”
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 morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests’ offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.
