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:

Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim, a Zuphite of the hill country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Toah, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.

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 Hannah, and the name of the other, Peninnah. And Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.

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.

This man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests of the LORD, were there.

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:

When the day came for Elkanah to sacrifice, he would give portions to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and her daughters.

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.

But to Hannah he would give a double portion because he loved Hannah. Now the LORD had kept her from conceiving.

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

And because the LORD kept her from conceiving, her rival used to taunt her severely, to irritate her.

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.

And this went on year after year, as often as she went up to the house of the LORD, she taunted her; therefore she would weep and refuse to 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 her husband Elkanah said to her, "Hannah, why are you weeping? And why are you not eating? And why are you so sad? Am I not better to you than ten sons?"

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.

So Hannah got up after eating and drinking in Shiloh, and stood before the LORD. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost 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 greatly distressed and prayed to the LORD, and wept uncontrollably.

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 and said, "LORD of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your servant and remember me and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a son, then I will set him before you as a Nazirite until the day of his death. And he will not drink wine or strong drink, and no razor will come on his head."

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

Now it happened, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli observed 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; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk.

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

So Eli said to her, "How long will you make yourself drunk? Put away your wine, and go from before 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 Hannah answered, "No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I poured 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.

Do not count your servant as a worthless woman; for I have been speaking out of the abundance of my distress and my anguish."

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.

Then Eli answered, "Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have 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.

She said, "Let your servant find favor in your sight." So the woman went her way, and entered her quarters, and ate; and her facial expression wasn't sad any more.

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.

They rose up in the morning early, and worshiped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.

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.

It happened, when the time had come, that Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she named him Samuel, saying, "Because I have asked him of the LORD."

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.

The man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and to redeem his vow 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 Hannah did not go up; for she said to her husband, "Not until the child is weaned; then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and stay there forever."

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 Elkanah her husband said to her, "Do what seems good in your eyes. Wait until you have weaned him; only may the LORD establish what you have said." So the woman waited and nursed her son, until she 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.

Then she took him to Shiloh along with a three-year old bull, and bread, and an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine. And she came to the house of the LORD in Shiloh, and the boy was with them. And they went before the LORD and his father slaughtered the sacrifice, which he did annually to the LORD. Then he brought the boy,

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

and he slaughtered the bull. And Hannah, the mother of the boy, brought him to Eli.

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.

She said, "Oh, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, 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 petition which 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.

Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD. As long as he lives he is lent to the LORD." Then she left him there, and she worshipped before the LORD.
