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 certain man from Ramah of Zophim, on Mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, 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 one was Hannah, and the name of the second was Peninnah. And Peninnah had sons. But Hannah did not have 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.

And this man went up from his city, on the established days, so that he might adore and sacrifice to the Lord of hosts at Shiloh. Now the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests of the Lord, were in that place.

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:

Then the day arrived, and Elkanah immolated. And he gave portions to his wife Peninnah, and to all her sons and 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 gave one portion with sorrow. For he loved Hannah, 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.

And her rival afflicted her and vehemently distressed her, to a great extent, for she rebuked her that the Lord had closed her womb.

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 she did so every year, when the time returned for them to ascend to the temple of the Lord. And she provoked her in this way. And so, she wept and did not take food.

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?

Therefore, her husband Elkanah said to her: “Hannah, why are you weeping? And why do you not eat? And for what reason do you afflict your heart? 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.

And so, after she ate and drank at Shiloh, Hannah rose up. And Eli, the priest, was sitting on the seat before the door of the temple of the Lord.

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

And since Hannah was bitter in soul, she prayed to the Lord, weeping greatly.

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 made a vow, saying, “O Lord of hosts, if, in looking with favor, you will see the affliction of your servant and will remember me, and will not forget your handmaid, and if you will give to your servant a male child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall pass over his head.”

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

Then it happened that, while she multiplied prayers before the Lord, 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.

For Hannah was speaking in her heart, and only her lips moved, and her voice was barely heard. Therefore, Eli considered her to be drunk,

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

and so he said to her: “How long will you be inebriated? You should take only a little wine, but instead you are drenched.”

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.

Responding, Hannah said: “By no means, my lord. For I am an exceedingly unhappy woman, and I drank neither wine, nor anything that can inebriate. Instead, I have poured out my soul in the sight of 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.

You should not repute your handmaid as one of the daughters of Belial. For I have been speaking from the abundance of my sorrow and grief, even 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.

Then Eli said to her: “Go in peace. And may the God of Israel grant to you your petition, which you have begged 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, “I wish that your handmaid may find grace in your eyes.” And the woman went on her way, and she ate, and her countenance was no longer changed for the worse.

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 rose up in the morning, and they worshipped before the Lord. And they returned and arrived at their own house at Ramah. Then Elkanah knew his wife Hannah. 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.

And it happened that, in the course of days, Hannah conceived and bore a son. And she called his name Samuel, because she had requested him from 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.

Now her husband Elkanah ascended with his entire house, so that he might immolate to the Lord a solemn sacrifice, with his vow.

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, “I will not go, until the infant has been weaned, and until I may lead him, so that he may appear before the sight of the Lord, and may remain always there.”

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 her husband Elkanah said to her: “Do what seems good to you, and stay until you wean him. And I pray that the Lord may fulfill his word.” Therefore, the woman remained at home, and she breastfed her son, until she withdrew him from milk.

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 after she had weaned him, she brought him with her, along with three calves, and three measures of flour, and a small bottle of wine, and she led him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh. But the boy was still a young child.

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

And they immolated a calf, and they presented the boy 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.

And Hannah said: “I beg you, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord: I am that woman, who stood before 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:

I prayed for this child, and the Lord granted to 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.

Because of this, I have also lent him to the Lord, for all the days when he shall be lent to the Lord.” And they adored the Lord in that place. And Hannah prayed, and she said:
