1 Samuel 2
1 Hana sì gbàdúrà pé, “Ọkàn mi yọ̀ sí Olúwa; ìwo agbára mi ni a sì gbé sókè sí Olúwa. Ẹnu mi sì gbòòrò lórí àwọn ọ̀tá mi, nítorí ti èmi yọ̀ ni ìgbàlà rẹ̀.
And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.
2 “Kò sí ẹni tí ó mọ́ bi Olúwa; kò sí ẹlòmíràn bí kò ṣe ìwọ; kò sì sí àpáta bi Ọlọ́run wa.
[There is] none holy as the LORD: for [there is] none beside thee: neither [is there] any rock like our God.
3 “Má ṣe halẹ̀; má ṣe jẹ́ kí ìgbéraga ti ẹnu yín jáde nítorí pé Ọlọ́run olùmọ̀ ni Olúwa, láti ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ wá ni a ti ń wọn ìwà.
Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let [not] arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD [is] a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
4 “Ọ̀run àwọn alágbára ti ṣẹ́, àwọn tí ó ṣe aláìlera ni a fi agbára dì ní àmùrè.
The bows of the mighty men [are] broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
5 Àwọn tí ó yọ̀ fún oúnjẹ ti fi ara wọn ṣe alágbàṣe, àwọn tí ebi ń pa kò sì ṣe aláìní. Tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí àgàn fi bí méje. Ẹni tí ó bímọ púpọ̀ sì di aláìlágbára.
[They that were] full have hired out themselves for bread; and [they that were] hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.
The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up. (Sheol h7585)
7 Olúwa sọ di tálákà; ó sì sọ di ọlọ́rọ̀; ó rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, ó sì gbé sókè.
The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.
8 Ó gbé tálákà sókè láti inú erùpẹ̀ wá, ó gbé alágbe sókè láti orí òkìtì eérú wá, láti mú wọn jókòó pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ-aládé, láti mu wọn jogún ìtẹ́ ògo, “Nítorí pé ọ̀wọ́n ayé ti Olúwa ni, ó sì ti gbé ayé ka orí wọn.
He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set [them] among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth [are] the LORD’s, and he hath set the world upon them.
9 Yóò pa ẹsẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ rẹ̀ mọ́, àwọn ènìyàn búburú ni yóò dákẹ́ ní òkùnkùn. “Nípa agbára kò sí ọkùnrin tí yóò borí.
He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
10 A ó fọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá Olúwa túútúú; láti ọ̀run wá ni yóò sán àrá sí wọn; Olúwa yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ òpin ayé. “Yóò fi agbára fún ọba rẹ̀, yóò si gbé ìwo ẹni àmì òróró rẹ̀ sókè.”
The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
11 Elkana sì lọ sí Rama, sí ilé rẹ̀, ọmọ náà sì ń ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún Olúwa níwájú Eli àlùfáà.
And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the LORD before Eli the priest.
12 Àwọn ọmọ Eli sì jẹ́ ọmọ Beliali; wọn kò mọ Olúwa.
Now the sons of Eli [were] sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.
13 Iṣẹ́ àwọn àlùfáà pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn ni pé nígbà tí ẹnìkan bá ṣe ìrúbọ, ìránṣẹ́ àlùfáà á dé, nígbà tí ẹran náà bá ń hó lórí iná, pẹ̀lú ọ̀pá-ẹran náà oníga mẹ́ta ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀.
And the priests’ custom with the people [was, that], when any man offered sacrifice, the priest’s servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand;
14 Òun a sì fi gún inú apẹ, tàbí àgé tàbí ọpọ́n, tàbí ìkòkò, gbogbo èyí tí ọ̀pá-ẹran oníga náà bá mú wá sí òkè, àlùfáà á mú un fún ara rẹ̀. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n ń ṣe sí gbogbo Israẹli tí ó wá sí ibẹ̀ ní Ṣilo.
And he struck [it] into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither.
15 Pẹ̀lú, kí wọn tó sun ọ̀rá náà, ìránṣẹ́ àlùfáà á dé, á sì wí fún ọkùnrin tí ó ń ṣe ìrúbọ pé, “Fi ẹran fún mi láti sun fún àlùfáà; nítorí tí kì yóò gba ẹran sísè lọ́wọ́ rẹ, bí kò ṣe tútù.”
Also before they burnt the fat, the priest’s servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw.
16 Bí ọkùnrin náà bá sì wí fún un pé, “Jẹ́ kí wọn ó sun ọ̀rá náà nísinsin yìí, kí o sì mú iyekíye tí ọkàn rẹ̀ bá fẹ́,” nígbà náà ni yóò dá a lóhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, ṣùgbọ́n kí ìwọ ó fi í fún mi nísinsin yìí, bí kó ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, èmi ó fi agbára gbà á.”
And [if] any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and [then] take [as much] as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, [Nay; ] but thou shalt give [it me] now: and if not, I will take [it] by force.
17 Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin náà sì tóbi gidigidi níwájú Olúwa: nítorí tí àwọn ènìyàn kórìíra ẹbọ Olúwa.
Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.
18 Ṣùgbọ́n Samuẹli ń ṣe ìránṣẹ́ níwájú Olúwa, ọmọdé, ti a wọ̀ ní efodu ọ̀gbọ̀.
But Samuel ministered before the LORD, [being] a child, girded with a linen ephod.
19 Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú, ìyá rẹ̀ máa ń dá aṣọ ìlekè péńpé fún un, a sì máa mú wá fún un lọ́dọọdún, nígbà tí ó bá bá ọkọ rẹ̀ gòkè wá láti ṣe ìrúbọ ọdún.
Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought [it] to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
20 Eli súre fún Elkana àti aya rẹ̀ pé, “Kí Olúwa fún ọ ní irú-ọmọ láti ara obìnrin yìí wá, nítorí ẹ̀bùn tí ó béèrè tí ó sì tún fún Olúwa.” Wọ́n sì lọ sí ilé wọn.
And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went unto their own home.
21 Olúwa si bojú wo Hana, ó sì lóyún, ó bí ọmọkùnrin mẹ́ta àti ọmọbìnrin méjì. Samuẹli ọmọ náà sì ń dàgbà níwájú Olúwa.
And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.
22 Eli sì di arúgbó gidigidi, ó sì gbọ́ gbogbo èyí ti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ ṣe sí gbogbo Israẹli; àti bi wọ́n ti máa ń bá àwọn obìnrin sùn, tí wọ́n máa ń péjọ ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ àjọ.
Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
23 Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, kí ni ó ti ri “Èétirí tí èmi fi ń gbọ́ irú nǹkan bẹ́ẹ̀ sí yín? Nítorí tí èmi ń gbọ́ iṣẹ́ búburú yín láti ọ̀dọ̀ gbogbo ènìyàn.
And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.
24 Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ ẹ̀yin ọmọ mi, nítorí kì ṣe ìròyìn rere èmi gbọ́; ẹ̀yin mú ènìyàn Olúwa dẹ́ṣẹ̀.
Nay, my sons; for [it is] no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD’s people to transgress.
25 Bí ẹnìkan bá ṣẹ̀ sí ẹnìkejì, onídàájọ́ yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ rẹ̀: ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹnìkan bá ṣẹ̀ sí Olúwa, ta ni yóò bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún un?” Wọn kò sì fi etí sí ohùn baba wọn, nítorí tí Olúwa ń fẹ́ pa wọ́n.
If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them.
26 Ọmọ náà Samuẹli ń dàgbà, ó sì rí ojúrere lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa, àti ènìyàn pẹ̀lú.
And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the LORD, and also with men.
27 Ènìyàn Ọlọ́run kan tọ Eli wá, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Báyìí ni Olúwa wí, ‘Èmi fi ara mi hàn ní gbangba fún ilé baba rẹ, nígbà tí wọ́n ń bẹ ní Ejibiti nínú ilé Farao.
And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh’s house?
28 Èmi sì yàn án kúrò láàrín gbogbo ẹ̀yà Israẹli láti jẹ́ àlùfáà mi, láti rú ẹbọ lórí pẹpẹ mi, láti fi tùràrí jóná, láti wọ efodu níwájú mi, èmi sì fi gbogbo ẹbọ tí ọmọ Israẹli máa ń fi iná sun fún ìdílé baba rẹ̀.
And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel [to be] my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?
29 Èéha ṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi tàpá sí ẹbọ àti ọrẹ mi, tí mo pàṣẹ ní ibùjókòó mi, ìwọ sì bu ọlá fún àwọn ọmọ rẹ jù mí lọ, tí ẹ sì fi gbogbo àṣàyàn ẹbọ Israẹli àwọn ènìyàn mi mú ara yín sanra.’
Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded [in my] habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?
30 “Nítorí náà Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí pé, ‘Èmi ti wí nítòótọ́ pé, ilé rẹ àti ilé baba rẹ, yóò máa rìn níwájú mi títí.’ Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí Olúwa wí pé, ‘Kí á má rí i! Àwọn tí ó bú ọlá fún mi ni èmi yóò bu ọlá fún, àti àwọn tí kò kà mí sí ni a ó sì ṣe aláìkàsí.
Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed [that] thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
31 Kíyèsi i, àwọn ọjọ́ ń bọ̀ tí èmi ó gé agbára rẹ kúrò, àti agbára baba rẹ, tí kì yóò sí arúgbó kan nínú ilé rẹ.
Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father’s house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house.
32 Ìwọ yóò rí wàhálà ti Àgọ́, nínú gbogbo ọlá tí Ọlọ́run yóò fi fún Israẹli; kì yóò sí arúgbó kan nínú ilé rẹ láéláé.
And thou shalt see an enemy [in my] habitation, in all [the wealth] which [God] shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever.
33 Ọkùnrin tí ó jẹ́ tìrẹ, tí èmi kì yóò gé kúrò ní ibi pẹpẹ mi ni a ó dá sí láti sọkún yọ lójú àti láti banújẹ́. Ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo irú-ọmọ ilé rẹ̀ ni a ó fi idà pa ní ààbọ̀ ọjọ́ wọn.
And the man of thine, [whom] I shall not cut off from mine altar, [shall be] to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age.
34 “‘Kí ni ohun tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀ sí àwọn ọmọ ọkùnrin rẹ̀ méjèèjì, Hofini àti Finehasi, yóò jẹ́ àmì fún ọ—àwọn méjèèjì yóò kú ní ọjọ́ kan náà.
And this [shall be] a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.
35 Èmi yóò dìde fún ara mi láti gbé àlùfáà olódodo dìde fún ara mi, ẹni tí yóò ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí ohun tí ó wà ní ọkàn mi àti inú mi. Èmi yóò fi ẹsẹ̀ ilé rẹ̀ múlẹ̀ gbọningbọnin òun yóò sì ṣe òjíṣẹ́ níwájú ẹni òróró mi ní ọjọ́ gbogbo.
And I will raise me up a faithful priest, [that] shall do according to [that] which [is] in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever.
36 Nígbà náà olúkúlùkù ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá kù ní ìdílé yín, yóò jáde wá yóò sì foríbalẹ̀ níwájú rẹ̀ nítorí ẹyọ fàdákà àti nítorí èépá àkàrà àti ẹ̀bẹ̀ pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ yàn mí sí ọ̀kan nínú iṣẹ́ àwọn àlùfáà, kí èmi kí ó le máa rí oúnjẹ jẹ.”’”
And it shall come to pass, [that] every one that is left in thine house shall come [and] crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests’ offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.
