< 1 Samweli 1 >

1 Kulikuwepo na mtu mmoja kutoka Rama, Msufi kutoka nchi ya vilima vya Efraimu, ambaye jina lake aliitwa Elikana mwana wa Yerohamu, mwana wa Elihu mwana wa Tohu, mwana wa Sufu, Mwefraimu.
and to be man one from [the] Ramathaim-zophim Ramathaim-zophim from mountain: hill country Ephraim and name his Elkanah son: child Jeroham son: child Elihu son: child Tohu son: child Zuph Ephraimite
2 Alikuwa na wake wawili, mmoja aliitwa Hana na mwingine Penina. Penina alikuwa na watoto, lakini Hana hakuwa na mtoto.
and to/for him two woman: wife name one Hannah and name [the] second Peninnah and to be to/for Peninnah youth and to/for Hannah nothing youth
3 Kila mwaka mtu huyu alikwea kutoka mji wake ili kuabudu na kutoa dhabihu kwa Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote huko Shilo, ambapo Hofni na Finehasi, wana wawili wa Eli, walikuwa makuhani wa Bwana.
and to ascend: rise [the] man [the] he/she/it from city his from day: year day: year [to] to/for to bow and to/for to sacrifice to/for LORD Hosts in/on/with Shiloh and there two son: child Eli Hophni and Phinehas priest to/for LORD
4 Kila mara ilipofika siku ya Elikana kutoa dhabihu, aliwapa mafungu Penina mkewe na wanawe wote pamoja na binti zake.
and to be [the] day and to sacrifice Elkanah and to give: give to/for Peninnah woman: wife his and to/for all son: child her and daughter her portion
5 Lakini alimpa Hana fungu maradufu kwa sababu alimpenda, ingawa Bwana alikuwa amemfunga tumbo.
and to/for Hannah to give: give portion one face for [obj] Hannah to love: lover and LORD to shut womb her
6 Kwa sababu Bwana alikuwa amemfunga tumbo, mke mwenzake alikuwa anamchokoza ili kumuudhi.
and to provoke her vexer her also vexation in/on/with for the sake of to thunder her for to shut LORD about/through/for womb her
7 Hili liliendelea mwaka baada ya mwaka. Kila mara Hana alipokwenda katika nyumba ya Bwana, mke mwenzake alikuwa akimkasirisha mpaka analia na kushindwa kula.
and so to make: do year in/on/with year from sufficiency to ascend: rise she in/on/with house: temple LORD so to provoke her and to weep and not to eat
8 Elikana mumewe akawa anamwambia, “Hana, kwa nini unalia? Kwa nini huli? Kwa nini kuvunjika moyo? Je, mimi si bora zaidi kwako kuliko watoto kumi?”
and to say to/for her Elkanah man: husband her Hannah to/for what? to weep and to/for what? not to eat and to/for what? be ill heart your not I pleasant to/for you from ten son: child
9 Siku moja walipokuwa wamemaliza kula na kunywa huko Shilo, Hana alisimama. Wakati huo kuhani Eli alikuwa ameketi kwenye kiti pembeni mwa mwimo wa mlango wa Hekalu la Bwana.
and to arise: rise Hannah after to eat in/on/with Shiloh and after to drink and Eli [the] priest to dwell upon [the] throne: seat upon doorpost temple LORD
10 Kwa uchungu wa rohoni Hana alilia sana na akamwomba Bwana.
and he/she/it bitter soul: myself and to pray upon LORD and to weep to weep
11 Naye akaweka nadhiri, akisema, “Ee Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, laiti ungeangalia huzuni kuu ya mtumishi wako na kunikumbuka mimi, wala usimsahau mtumishi wako nawe ukampa mwana, basi huyo mwana nitamtoa kwa Bwana kwa siku zote za maisha yake, wala wembe hautapita kichwani mwake.”
and to vow vow and to say LORD Hosts if to see: see to see: see in/on/with affliction maidservant your and to remember me and not to forget [obj] maidservant your and to give: give to/for maidservant your seed: children human and to give: give him to/for LORD all day life his and razor not to ascend: rise upon head his
12 Alipokuwa anaendelea kumwomba Bwana, Eli alichunguza kinywa chake.
and to be for to multiply to/for to pray to/for face: before LORD and Eli to keep: obey [obj] lip her
13 Hana alikuwa akiomba moyoni mwake, midomo yake ikiwa inachezacheza lakini sauti haikusikika. Eli akafikiri alikuwa amelewa
and Hannah he/she/it to speak: speak upon heart her except lips her to shake and voice her not to hear: hear and to devise: think her Eli to/for drunken
14 naye akamwambia, “Utaendelea kulewa mpaka lini? Achilia mbali mvinyo wako.”
and to say to(wards) her Eli till how be drunk [emph?] to turn aside: remove [obj] wine your from upon you
15 Hana akajibu, “Si hivyo bwana wangu, mimi ni mwanamke mwenye huzuni kubwa. Mimi sijanywa mvinyo wala kileo, nilikuwa ninaumimina moyo wangu kwa Bwana.
and to answer Hannah and to say not lord my woman severe spirit I and wine and strong drink not to drink and to pour: pour [obj] soul my to/for face: before LORD
16 Usimdhanie mtumishi wako kuwa mwanamke mwovu; nimekuwa nikiomba hapa katika wingi wa uchungu mkuu na huzuni.”
not to give: make [obj] maidservant your to/for face of daughter Belial for from abundance complaint my and vexation my to speak: speak till here/thus
17 Eli akamjibu, “Nenda kwa amani, naye Mungu wa Israeli na akujalie kile ulichomwomba.”
and to answer Eli and to say to go: went to/for peace and God Israel to give: give [obj] petition your which to ask from from with him
18 Hana akasema, “Mtumishi wako na apate kibali machoni pako.” Kisha akaondoka zake na kula chakula, wala uso wake haukuwa na huzuni tena.
and to say to find maidservant your favor in/on/with eye: appearance your and to go: went [the] woman to/for way: journey her and to eat and face her not to be to/for her still
19 Kesho yake asubuhi na mapema waliamka wakaabudu mbele za Bwana na kisha wakarudi nyumbani kwao huko Rama. Elikana akakutana kimwili na mkewe Hana, naye Bwana akamkumbuka.
and to rise in/on/with morning and to bow to/for face: before LORD and to return: return and to come (in): marry to(wards) house: home their [the] Ramah [to] and to know Elkanah [obj] Hannah woman: wife his and to remember her LORD
20 Hivyo wakati ulipotimia, Hana akapata mimba na akamzaa mwana. Hana akamwita jina lake Samweli, akasema, “Kwa kuwa nilimwomba kwa Bwana.”
and to be to/for circuit [the] day and to conceive Hannah and to beget son: child and to call: call by [obj] name his Samuel for from LORD to ask him
21 Wakati huyo mtu Elikana alipanda pamoja na jamaa yake yote kutoa dhabihu ya mwaka kwa Bwana na kutimiza nadhiri yake,
and to ascend: rise [the] man Elkanah and all house: home his to/for to sacrifice to/for LORD [obj] sacrifice [the] day: year and [obj] vow his
22 Hana hakwenda. Alimwambia mume wake, “Baada ya mtoto kuachishwa kunyonya, nitamchukua na kumpeleka mbele za Bwana, naye ataishi huko wakati wote.”
and Hannah not to ascend: rise for to say to/for man: husband her till to wean [the] youth and to come (in): bring him and to see: see with face: before LORD and to dwell there till forever: enduring
23 Elikana mumewe akamwambia, “Fanya lile unaloona ni bora zaidi kwako. Ukae hapa mpaka utakapomwachisha kunyonya, Bwana na akujalie kutimiza nadhiri yako.” Hivyo huyo mwanamke akakaa nyumbani na kumnyonyesha mwanawe mpaka alipomwachisha kunyonya.
and to say to/for her Elkanah man: husband her to make: do [the] pleasant in/on/with eye: appearance your to dwell till to wean you [obj] him surely to arise: establish LORD [obj] word his and to dwell [the] woman and to suckle [obj] son: child her till (to wean she *LAH(b)*) [obj] him
24 Baada ya mtoto kuachishwa kunyonya, Hana akamchukua huyo mtoto, akiwa mdogo hivyo hivyo, pamoja na fahali wa miaka mitatu, efa ya unga na kiriba cha divai, naye akamleta mtoto kwenye nyumba ya Bwana huko Shilo.
and to ascend: rise him with her like/as as which to wean him in/on/with bullock three and ephah one flour and bag wine and to come (in): bring him house: temple LORD Shiloh and [the] youth youth
25 Walipokwisha kumchinja yule fahali, wakamleta mtoto kwa Eli,
and to slaughter [obj] [the] bullock and to come (in): bring [obj] [the] youth to(wards) Eli
26 naye Hana akamwambia Eli, “Hakika kama uishivyo, bwana wangu, mimi ndiye yule mama ambaye alisimama hapa karibu nawe akiomba kwa Bwana.
and to say please lord my alive soul: myself your lord my I [the] woman [the] to stand with you in/on/with this to/for to pray to(wards) LORD
27 Niliomba mtoto huyu, naye Bwana amenijalia kile nilichomwomba.
to(wards) [the] youth [the] this to pray and to give: give LORD to/for me [obj] petition my which to ask from from with him
28 Hivyo sasa ninamtoa kwa Bwana. Kwa maana maisha yake yote atakuwa ametolewa kwa Bwana.” Naye akamwabudu Bwana huko.
and also I to ask him to/for LORD all [the] day which to be he/she/it to ask to/for LORD and to bow there to/for LORD
