1 Samuel 1

1 May isa ngang lalake na taga Ramathaim-sophim, sa lupaing maburol ng Ephraim, at ang pangalan niya'y Elcana, na anak ni Jeroham, na anak ni Eliu, na anak ni Thohu, na anak ni Suph na Ephraimita:

There was a man of Armathaim Sipha, of mount Ephraim, and his name [was] Helkana, a son of Jeremeel the son of Elias the son of Thoke, in Nasib Ephraim.

2 At siya'y may dalawang asawa; ang pangalan ng isa'y Ana, at ang pangalan ng isa'y Peninna: at si Peninna ay may mga anak nguni't si Ana ay walang anak.

And he [had] two wives; the name of the one [was] Anna, and the name of the second Phennana. And Phennana had children, but Anna had no child.

3 At ang lalaking ito ay umaahon sa taon-taon mula sa kaniyang bayan upang sumamba at maghain sa Panginoon ng mga hukbo sa Silo. At ang dalawang anak ni Eli, na si Ophni at si Phinees, na mga saserdote sa Panginoon, ay nangandoon.

And the man went up from year to year from his city, from Armathaim, to worship and sacrifice to the Lord God of Sabaoth at Selom: and [there were] Heli and his two sons Ophni and Phinees, the priests of the Lord.

4 At pagka dumarating ang araw na si Elcana ay naghahain, ay kaniyang binibigyan ng mga bahagi si Peninna na kaniyang asawa, at ang lahat ng kaniyang mga anak na lalake at babae:

And the day came, and Helkana sacrificed, and gave portions to his wife Phennana and her children.

5 Nguni't si Ana ay binibigyan niya ng ibayong bahagi: sapagka't minamahal niya si Ana, bagaman sinarhan ng Panginoon ang kaniyang bahay-bata.

And to Anna he gave a prime portion, because she had no child, only Helkana loved Anna more than the other; but the Lord [had] closed her womb.

6 At minumungkahi siyang mainam ng kaniyang kaagaw upang yamutin siya, sapagka't sinarhan ng Panginoon ang kaniyang bahay-bata.

For the Lord gave her no child in her affliction, and according to the despondency of her affliction; and she was dispirited on this account, that the Lord shut up her womb so as not to give her a child.

7 At gayon ang ginagawa niya sa taon-taon, na pagka inaahon niya ang bahay ng Panginoon ay minumungkahi niyang gayon ang isa; kaya't siya'y umiiyak, at hindi kumakain.

So she did year by year, in going up to the house of the Lord; and she was dispirited, and wept, and did not eat.

8 At sinabi ni Elcana na kaniyang asawa sa kaniya, Ana, bakit ka umiiyak? at bakit hindi ka kumakain? at bakit nagdadalamhati ang iyong puso? hindi ba ako mabuti sa iyo kay sa sangpung anak?

And Helkana her husband said to her, Anna: and she said to him, Here [am] I, my lord: and he said to her, What ails thee that thou weepest? and why dost thou not eat? and why does thy heart smite thee? [am] I not better to thee than ten children?

9 Sa gayo'y bumangon si Ana pagkatapos na makakain sila sa Silo at pagkatapos na sila'y makainom. Ngayo'y si Eli na saserdote ay nakaupo sa upuan niya sa siping ng haligi ng pintuan ng templo ng Panginoon.

And Anna rose up after they had eaten in Selom, and stood before the Lord: and Heli the priest [was] on a seat by the threshold of the temple of the Lord.

10 At siya'y nanalangin sa Panginoon ng buong paghihinagpis ng kaluluwa, at tumangis na mainam.

And she [was] very much grieved in spirit, and prayed to the Lord, and wept abundantly.

11 At siya'y nanata ng isang panata, at nagsabi, Oh Panginoon ng mga hukbo, kung tunay na iyong lilingunin ang pagkapighati ng iyong lingkod, at aalalahanin mo at hindi mo kalilimutan ang iyong lingkod, kundi iyong pagkakalooban ang iyong lingkod ng anak na lalake, ay akin ngang ibibigay sa Panginoon sa lahat ng kaarawan ng kaniyang buhay, at walang pangahit na daraan sa kaniyang ulo.

And she vowed a vow to the Lord, saying, O Lord God of Sabaoth, if thou welt indeed look upon the humiliation of thine handmaid, and remember me, and give to thine handmaid a man-child, then will I indeed dedicate him to thee till the day of his death; and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink, and no razor shall come upon his head.

12 At nangyari, habang siya'y nananatili ng pananalangin sa harap ng Panginoon, ay pinagmamasdan ni Eli ang kaniyang bibig.

And it came to pass, while she was long praying before the Lord, that Heli the priest marked her mouth.

13 Si Ana nga'y nagsasalita sa kaniyang puso; ang kaniya lamang mga labi ang gumagalaw, nguni't ang kaniyang tinig ay hindi naririnig: kaya't inakala ni Eli na siya'y lasing.

And she was speaking in her heart, and her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: and Heli accounted her a drunken woman.

14 At sinabi ni Eli sa kaniya, Hanggang kailan magiging lasing ka? ihiwalay mo ang iyong alak sa iyo.

And the servant of Heli said to her, How long wilt thou be drunken? take away thy wine from thee, and go out from the presence of the Lord.

15 At sumagot si Ana, at nagsabi, Hindi, panginoon ko, ako'y isang babae na may diwang mapanglaw: hindi ako nakainom ng alak o inuming nakalalasing, kundi aking inihayag ang aking kaluluwa sa harap ng Panginoon.

And Anna answered and said, Nay, my lord, [I live] in a hard day, and I have not drunk wine or strong drink, and I pour out my soul before the Lord.

16 Huwag mong ibilang na babaing hamak ang iyong lingkod: sapagka't sa kasaganaan ng aking daing at ng aking pagkaduwahagi ay nagsalita ako hanggang ngayon.

Count not thy handmaid for a pestilent woman, for by reason of the abundance of my importunity I have continued [my prayer] until now.

17 Nang magkagayo'y sumagot si Eli, at nagsabi, Yumaon kang payapa: at ipagkaloob nawa sa iyo ng Dios ng Israel ang iyong hiling na hinihingi mo sa kaniya.

And Heli answered and said to her, Go in peace: the God of Israel give thee all thy petition, which thou hast asked of him.

18 At sinabi niya, Makasumpong nawa ang iyong lingkod ng biyaya sa iyong paningin. Sa gayo'y nagpatuloy ng kaniyang lakad ang babae at kumain, at ang kaniyang mukha'y hindi na malumbay.

And she said, Thine handmaid has found favour in thine eyes: and the woman went her way, and entered into her lodging, and ate and drank with her husband, and her countenance was no more sad.

19 At sila'y bumangong maaga ng kinaumagahan, at sumamba sa Panginoon, at bumalik, at umuwi sa kanilang bahay sa Ramatha; at nakilala ni Elcana si Ana na kaniyang asawa; at inalaala siya ng Panginoon.

And they rise early in the morning, and worship the Lord, and they go their way: and Helkana went into his house at Armathaim, and knew his wife Anna; and the Lord remembered her, and she conceived.

20 At nangyari, nang sumapit ang panahon, na si Ana ay naglihi, at nanganak ng isang lalake; at tinawag ang pangalan niya na Samuel, na sinasabi, Sapagka't aking hiningi siya sa Panginoon.

And it came to pass when the time was come, that she brought forth a son, and called his name Samuel, and said, Because I asked him of the Lord God of Sabaoth.

21 At ang lalaking si Elcana, at ang buong sangbahayan niya, ay nagsiahon upang maghandog sa Panginoon ng hain sa taon-taon, at ganapin ang kaniyang panata.

And the man Helkana and all his house went up to offer in Selom the yearly sacrifice, and his vows, and all the tithes of his land.

22 Nguni't si Ana ay hindi umahon; sapagka't sinabi niya sa kaniyang asawa, Hindi ako aahon hanggang sa ang bata'y mahiwalay sa suso; at kung magkagayo'y aking dadalhin siya, upang siya'y pakita sa harap ng Panginoon, at tumahan doon magpakailan man.

But Anna did not go up with him, for she said to her husband, [I will not go up] until the child goes up, when I have weaned him, and he shall be presented before the Lord, and he shall abide there continually.

23 At sinabi ni Elcana na kaniyang asawa sa kaniya, Gawin mo ang inaakala mong mabuti; maghintay ka hanggang sa maihiwalay mo siya sa suso; pagtibayin lamang ng Panginoon ang kaniyang salita. Sa gayo'y naghintay ang babae, at pinasuso ang kaniyang anak, hanggang sa naihiwalay niya sa suso.

And Helkana her husband said to her, Do that which is good in thine eyes, abide still until thou shalt have weaned him; but may the Lord establish that which comes out of thy mouth: and the woman tarried, and suckled her son until she had weaned him.

24 At nang kaniyang maihiwalay na sa suso, ay kaniyang iniahon, na may dala siyang tatlong guyang lalake, at isang epang harina, at isang sisidlang balat ng alak, at dinala niya siya sa bahay ng Panginoon sa Silo: at ang anak ay sanggol.

And she went up with him to Selom with a calf of three years old, and loaves, and an ephah of fine flour, and a bottle of wine: and she entered into the house of the Lord in Selom, and the child with them.

25 At kanilang pinatay ang guyang lalake, at dinala ang bata kay Eli.

And they brought him before the Lord; and his father slew his offering which he offered from year to year to the Lord; and he brought near the child, and slew the calf; and Anna the mother of the child brought him to Heli.

26 At sinabi niya, Oh panginoon ko, alangalang sa buhay ng iyong kaluluwa, panginoon ko, ako ang babaing tumayo sa siping mo rito, na nanalangin sa Panginoon.

And she said, I pray thee, my lord, as thy soul liveth, I [am] the woman that stood in thy presence with thee while praying to the Lord.

27 Dahil sa batang ito ako nanalangin; at ipinagkaloob sa akin ng Panginoon ang aking hiling na aking hiningi sa kaniya:

For this child I prayed; and the Lord has given me my request that I asked of him.

28 Kaya't aking ipinagkakaloob naman sa Panginoon habang siya'y nabubuhay ay ipinagkakaloob ko siya sa Panginoon. At siya ay sumamba sa Panginoon doon.

And I lend him to the Lord all his days that he lives, a loan to the Lord: and she said,
