Samuu'Eel Kowaad 2
1 Markaasaa Xannaah tukatay oo waxay tidhi: Qalbigaygu Ilaah buu ku faraxsan yahay, Geeskaygana Rabbigu kor buu u qaaday. Afkayguna wuxuu u faanaa cadaawayaashayda, Maxaa yeelay, waxaan ku reyreeyaa badbaadintaada.
Then Hannah prayed, saying, “I rejoice in [what] you, [, have done]. I am strong [MET] because I belong to you. I (laugh at/ridicule) my enemies, because you, Yahweh have rescued me [from being taunted by them].
2 Mid quduus ahu sida Rabbiga ma jiro, Waayo, adiga mooyee mid kale ma jiro, Oo dhagax weyn oo Ilaahayaga la mid ahuna ma jiro.
There is no one who is holy like you, Yahweh. There is no other god like you. There is no one like you, our God, who can protect us [as though you were putting us beneath] a huge rock [where we can hide from danger].
3 Hadal dambe oo saas u kibir badan ha ku hadlina; Afkiinna yaanu kibir ka soo bixin; Waayo, Rabbigu waa Ilaah wax walba yaqaan, Falimahana isagaa miisaama.
[You people who oppose God], stop boasting! Yahweh is a God who knows [everything], and he will evaluate/judge everyone’s actions. So don’t speak so arrogantly!
4 Raggii xoogga badnaa qaansooyinkoodii waa jajaban yihiin, Oo kuwii kufkufayayna itaal bay guntan yihiin.
Yahweh, you break the bows/weapons of mighty soldiers, and you give strength to those who stumble [because of being weak].
5 Kuwii dhergi jiray waxay naftooda u kiraysteen kibis aawadeed. Kuwii gaajaysnaana way gaajo baxeen, Oo madhashadiina waxay dhashay toddoba, Oo tii carruur badan lahaydna way taag gabtay.
Many people who previously had plenty to eat, now have to work for other people [to earn money] to buy food, but many who were always hungry are not hungry any more. The woman who did not have any children before, now has given birth to many/seven children, and the woman who had many children before, now is very lonely [because they have all died].
6 Rabbigu wax buu dilaa, wuuna soo nooleeyaa; Qabriguu wax geliyaa, wuuna ka soo bixiyaa. (Sheol h7585)
Yahweh, you cause some people to die, and you restore some people who are almost dead. For some people, [it seems that they will soon] go to where the dead people are, but you cause them to become healthy again. (Sheol h7585)
7 Rabbigu isagaa wax masaakiin ka dhiga, isagaana taajir ka dhiga. Wuu hoosaysiiyaa, wuuna sarraysiiyaa haddana.
Yahweh, you cause some people to be poor and you cause some people to be rich, you humble some people and you honor some people.
8 Oo miskiinka ciidduu ka kiciyaa, Oo ka baahanna tuulmada digada ayuu kor uga qaadaa, Si uu amiirrada ula fadhiisiyo, Oo ay carshiga ammaanta u dhaxlaan; Waayo, tiirarka dhulka Rabbigaa leh, Oo dunidana iyaguu saaray.
[Sometimes] you lift poor people up so that they are no longer [despondent, sitting in the dust, ] or sitting on heaps of ashes; you cause them to sit next to princes; you cause them to sit on chairs/thrones where people who are highly honored sit. Yahweh, you are the one who laid the foundations of the earth, and you have set the whole world on those foundations.
9 Kuwiisa quduuska ah cagahooda isagaa dhawri doona, Laakiinse kuwa sharka leh waxaa lagu aamusiin doonaa gudcur dhexdiis; Waayo, ninna xoog kuma adkaan doono.
You will protect your loyal/faithful people [SYN], but you will cause the wicked to die [EUP] and descend to the dark [place where dead people are]. We do not defeat [our enemies] by our own strength;
10 Kuwa Rabbiga la dirira waa la kala jejebin doonaa; Oo iyaga samaduu kaga soo onkodi doonaa, Rabbigu wuxuu xukumi doonaa darfaha dunida; Oo wuxuu xoog u yeeli doonaa boqorkiisa, Oo wuxuu sarraysiin doonaa geeska kiisa subkan.
Yahweh, you will break into pieces those who oppose you. You will cause thunder in the sky to show that you (oppose/are angry with) them. Yahweh, you will judge [people everywhere, even those who live in] the most remote places on the earth. You will give strength to the king whom you will appoint, and give him great power [over his enemies].”
11 Markaasaa Elqaanaah wuxuu tegey Raamaah iyo xaggii gurigiisii. Oo wiilkiina wuxuu Rabbiga uga adeegi jiray wadaadkii Ceelii hortiisa.
Then Elkanah [and his family] returned to Ramah, but Samuel, the little boy, stayed to help Eli the priest serve Yahweh.
12 Haddaba Ceelii wiilashiisii waxay ahaayeen wiilal waxmatarayaal ah, oo Rabbiga ma ay aqoon.
Eli’s two [, who were also priests, ] were very wicked. They did not revere (OR, respect/obey) Yahweh.
13 Haddaba caadadii wadaaddadu dadka la lahaayeen waxay ahayd, in markii nin uun allabari bixiyo uu midiidinka wadaadku iman jiray, inta hilibka la karinayo, isagoo gacanta ku sita hilibqabato saddex farood leh,
While the people were boiling the meat from their sacrifices [in the huge pot at the temple], one of Eli’s sons, [would send his servant to come with a large three-pronged fork in his hand].
14 oo wuxuu ku dhex mudi jiray daawihii, ama kidhligii, ama digsigii, ama dherigii, oo kulli wixii qabatadu ay soo qaaddoba wadaadku wuu qaadan jiray. Oo saasay reer binu Israa'iilkii Shiiloh yimid oo dhan ku sameeyeen.
[He] would stick the fork into [the meat in] the pot, and whatever meat fastened onto the fork, he would take [and give it] to the priest who sent him. Eli’s sons did this to all the Israeli people who came to Shiloh [to offer sacrifices].
15 Oo weliba intaan baruurta la gubin ayaa midiidinkii wadaadku iman jiray, oo wuxuu ku odhan jiray ninkii alla baryayay, Hilib wadaadka loo dubo keen, waayo, isagu kaa dooni maayo hilib karsan, mid ceedhin ah mooyaane.
Furthermore, before the fat [on the meat] was [cut off and] and burned [as a sacrifice to Yahweh], the servant of the priest would [sometimes] come to the man who was making the sacrifice and say to him, “Give me some meat [now to take] to the priest for him to roast! He wants raw meat; he does not want boiled meat.”
16 Oo haddii ninku ku yidhaahdo, Marka hore baruurta hubaal waa la gubayaa, dabadeedse intii naftaadu jeceshahay qaado; markaas wuxuu ku odhan jiray, Maya, saas ma aha, laakiinse haatan i sii, haddii kalese, xoog baan ku qaadan doonaa.
If the man said to the servant, “Let the priests [cut off and] burn the fat first; then you can take what you want,” the servant would reply, “No, give it to me now; if you do not give it to me, I will take it forcefully!”
17 Oo raggii dhallinyarada ahaa dembigoodii aad buu ugu weynaa Rabbiga hortiisa; waayo, raggii waxay quudhsan jireen qurbaankii Rabbiga.
Yahweh considered that the young [sons of Eli] were committing a very great sin, because they were treating very disrespectfully the offerings that were being given to Yahweh.
18 Laakiinse Samuu'eel wuxuu ka adeegi jiray Rabbiga hortiisa, isagoo wiil yar ah, ee guntan eefod dhar wanaagsan laga sameeyey.
As for Samuel, who was still a very young boy, he continued to do work for Yahweh, wearing a little sacred linen vest [like the Supreme Priest wore].
19 Oo weliba hooyadiisna waxay u samayn jirtay khamiis yar, oo sannad ka sannad ayay u keeni jirtay, markay ninkeeda soo raacdo inay bixiyaan allabarigii sannadda.
Each year his mother made a [new] little robe for him and took it to him when she went up [to Shiloh] with her husband to offer a sacrifice.
20 Oo Ceeliina waa u duceeyey Elqaanaah iyo afadiisiiba, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Daynkii Rabbiga la siiyey aawadiis Rabbigu naagtan farcan ha kaa siiyo. Oo iyana waxay tageen xaggii gurigoodii.
Then Eli would [ask God to] bless Elkanah and his wife, and he would say to Elkanah, “I hope/desire that Yahweh will enable your wife to give birth to other children, to take the place of the one whom she dedicated to Yahweh.” Then Elkanah and his family would return home.
21 Oo Rabbigu waa soo booqday Xannaah, oo way uuraysatay, oo waxay dhashay saddex wiil iyo laba gabdhood. Oo yarkii Samuu'eel ahaana wuxuu ku koray Rabbiga hortiisa.
And Yahweh was very kind to Hannah, and enabled her to give birth to three [other] sons and two daughters. Their son Samuel grew up while he was doing work for Yahweh [in the Sacred Tent].
22 Oo Ceeliina aad buu u gaboobay; oo wuxuuna maqlay wixii ay wiilashiisu reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan ku sameeyeen, iyo inay la seexdeen dumarkii ka adeegi jiray iridda teendhada shirka.
Eli became very old. He often heard about all the [evil] things that his sons were doing to the Israeli people. He heard that they [sometimes] (slept with/had sex with) the women who worked at the entrance to the tent where [God] spoke to [his people].
23 Markaasuu wuxuu ku yidhi iyagii, War maxaad waxyaalaha caynkaas ah u samaysaan? Waayo, waxaan dadkan oo dhan ka maqlay macaamilooyinkiinna xunxun.
He said to them, “(It is terrible that you do such things!/Why do you do such things?) [RHQ] Many people keep telling me about the evil things that you do.
24 Maya, wiilashaydiiyow, waayo, warkaan maqlay ma wanaagsana, maxaa yeelay, idinku dadka Rabbiga waad xadgudbisaan.
My sons, stop it! The reports [about you] that the people who belong to Yahweh tell others are terrible [EUP]!
25 Haddii nin mid kale ku dembaabo, Ilaah baa isaga xukumi doona, laakiinse nin hadduu Rabbiga ku dembaabo, bal yaa isaga u baryootami doona? Laakiinse iyagu ma ay dhegaysan codkii aabbahood, maxaa yeelay, Rabbigu wuxuu doonayay inuu dilo iyaga.
If one person sins against another person, God can (intercede/act as a referee) between them. But if someone sins against Yahweh, no one can [RHQ] (intercede/act as a referee) between them!” But Eli’s sons would not listen to what their father said. This was because Yahweh had decided [that someone should] them.
26 Oo yarkii Samuu'eel ahaana wuu sii koray, oo Rabbiga iyo dadkuba raalli bay ka ahaayeen.
The boy Samuel continued to grow up, and the things that he did pleased Yahweh and the people.
27 Markaasaa Ceelii waxaa u yimid nin Ilaah, oo wuxuu ku yidhi isagii, Sidanaa Rabbigu leeyahay, Reerkii aabbahaa miyaan isu muujiyey markay Masar joogeen oo ay ku hoos jireen addoonsigii reerkii Fircoon?
One day, a prophet came to Eli and told him, “This is what Yahweh has told me: ‘When your ancestors were slaves of the king of Egypt, I appeared to Aaron.
28 Oo miyaan isaga ka doortay qabiilooyinka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan inuu wadaad ii noqdo, iyo inuu ku allabaryo meeshayda allabariga, iyo inuu uunsi shido, iyo inuu hortayda eefod ku xidho? Oo miyaan reerkii aabbahaa siiyey qurbaannadii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan ee dab lagu sameeyo?
From all the tribes of the Israeli people, I chose him [and his male descendants] to be priests for me. I appointed them to go up to my altar, to burn incense, to wear a sacred apron [as they worked] for me. And I declared that they could take [and eat some of the meat] that the Israeli people burned [on the altar].
29 War maxaad u quudhsataan allabarigayga iyo qurbaankayga aan ku dhex amray rugtayda; oo maxaad wiilashaada iiga murwad badisaa, ee aad naftiinna ugu cayilisaan dadkayga reer binu Israa'iil qurbaannadooda oo dhan inta ugu wanaagsan?
So why do you show disrespect for the sacrifices and offerings that I commanded [the people to bring] to me [RHQ]? You are honoring your sons more than you are honoring me, by allowing them to get fat from eating the best parts of all the sacrifices that the Israeli people bring to me!’
30 Sidaas daraaddeed Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu waxaan idhi, Hubaal reerkaaga iyo reerka aabbahaaba hortayday ku socon doonaan weligood. Laakiinse haatan Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Taasu ha iga fogaato, waayo, kuwa i murweeya waan murwayn doonaa, oo kuwa i quudhsadana waa la fududaysan doonaa.
“Therefore, this is what Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], declares: ‘I definitely promised that Aaron and his descendants would continue to serve [IDM] me forever.’ But now I declare this: ‘It will not continue like that! I will honor those who honor me, but I will despise those who despise me.
31 Bal eeg, waxaa iman doona wakhtigii aan gooyn lahaa gacantaada iyo gacanta reerka aabbahaaba si aan reerkaaga nin da' weyn looga helin.
Listen carefully! There will soon be a time when I will cause all the strong [young men] in your family to die. The result will be that no men in your family will [live long enough to] become old men.
32 Oo waxaad arki doontaa dhibaatada rugtayda markii Ilaah reer binu Israa'iil maal siiyo, oo reerkaaguna nin da' weyn ma yeelan doono weligiisba.
You will be distressed and envious as you see the blessings that I will give to [the other people in] Israel. And [I repeat that] no men in your family will ever live long enough to become old men.
33 Oo haddii la helo nin kaa ah ee aanan meeshayda allabariga ka gooyn, kaasu indhahaaguu gubi doonaa oo qalbigaaguu murugayn doonaa, oo dadkii reerkaaga ka dhashaana dhallinyaronimada ayay ku dhiman doonaan dhammaantood.
There is one of your descendants whom I will spare, and not prevent him from serving me as a priest. But he will become blind, and then he will always be sad and grieving. But all your other descendants will die violently.
34 Oo tanu waxay kuu ahaan doontaa calaamo, waana waxa ku dhici doona labadaada wiil ee ah Hofnii iyo Fiinexaas, oo labadooduba isku maalin bay dhiman doonaan.
And your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, will both die on the same day. And that will prove to you [that all that I have said will come true/happen].
35 Oo anigu waxaan kicin doonaa wadaad aamin ah kaasoo samayn doona waxa ku jira qalbigayga iyo maankayga; oo anna waxaan isaga u dhisi doonaa reer ammaan ah, oo isna weligiis wuxuu ku hor socon doonaa kayga subkan.
‘have chosen another man to be my priest. He is one who will serve me faithfully: He will do everything I want [DOU] him to do. And I will enable him to have many descendants [IDM] who will be priests and will always serve me by helping the king whom I will choose.
36 Oo waxaa dhici doona in kuwa reerkaaga ka hadha oo dhammu ay u iman doonaan oo ku hor dhici doonaan isaga, iyagoo ka tuugaya gogo' lacag ah iyo xabbad kibis ah, oo waxay ku odhan doonaan, Waan ku baryayaaye, hawsha wadaaddada middood i sii si aan u cuno xabbad kibis ah.
All of your descendants who remain alive will have to go to that priest and ask him to give them money and food, and they will each have to say, “Please allow me to help the other priests, in order that I may [earn some money to] buy some food.”’”
