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:
And there was a certain man of Rama-thayim-zophim, of the mountain of Ephraim, whose name was Elkanah, the son of Yerocham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tochu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite.
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: 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.
And this man went up out of his city from year to year to prostrate himself and to sacrifice unto the Lord of hosts in Shiloh. And at that place were the two sons of 'Eli, Chophni and Phinehas, 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 when the day was come that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions;
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 unto Hannah he gave a double portion; for Hannah he loved [greatly]; but the Lord had shut up 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 also provoked her continually, in order to make her fret; because the Lord had shut up 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 he did so year by year, as often as she went up to the house of the Lord, so did she provoke her; wherefore she 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?
Then said to her Elkanah her husband, Hannah, why wilt thou weep? and why wilt thou not eat? and why should thy heart be grieved? am not I better to thee 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 Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk; and 'Eli the priest was sitting upon a chair by the door-post of the temple of the Lord.
10 At siya'y nanalangin sa Panginoon ng buong paghihinagpis ng kaluluwa, at tumangis na mainam.
But she had bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the Lord, and wept 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 vowed a vow, and said, O Lord of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thy handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thy handmaid, but wilt give unto thy handmaid a man-child: then will I give him unto the Lord all the days of his life, 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, as she continued praying long before the Lord, that 'Eli watched 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.
Now as for Hannah, she spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice could not be heard; wherefore 'Eli regarded her as a drunken woman.
14 At sinabi ni Eli sa kaniya, Hanggang kailan magiging lasing ka? ihiwalay mo ang iyong alak sa iyo.
And 'Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from off thee.
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 and said, No, my Lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit; but neither wine nor strong drink have I drunk, and I have 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.
Esteem not thy handmaid as a worthless woman; for out of the abundance of my grief and vexation have I spoken hitherto.
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 and said, Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant 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, Let thy handmaid find grace in thy eyes. The woman then went on her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no longer as before.
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 early in the morning, and prostrated themselves before the Lord, and returned, and came to their house at 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.
And it came to pass, after the lapse of some time, that Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she called his name Samuel, saying, Because from the Lord have I asked him.
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 Elkanah went up, with all his house, to offer unto the Lord the yearly sacrifice, and 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 unto her husband, So soon as the child shall be weaned, then I will bring him, that he may appear before the Lord, and abide there for ever.
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 unto her, Do what seemeth good in thy eyes; tarry until thou hast weaned him; only may the Lord fulfill his word. So the woman remained behind, and gave her son suck 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.
And she took him up with her, when she had weaned him, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and she brought him unto the house of the Lord at Shiloh; although the child was yet young.
25 At kanilang pinatay ang guyang lalake, at dinala ang bata kay Eli.
And they slew a bullock, and brought the child 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 she said, Pardon, my Lord, as thy soul liveth, my Lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, to pray unto 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 lad did I pray; and the Lord hath granted 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 have I lent him, for my part, to the Lord; all the days that have been assigned to him shall he be lent to the Lord. And he bowed himself there before the Lord.
