1 Samuel 2
1 Hannah prayed, and said: "My heart exults in YHWH. My horn is exalted in my God. My mouth is enlarged over my enemies, because I rejoice in your salvation.
Ary Hana nivavaka ka nanao hoe: Ny foko ravoravo amin’ i Jehovah, Ny tandroko voasandratra amin’ i Jehovah; ny vavako misokatra hamaly ny fahavaloko; fa mifaly amin’ ny famonjenao aho.
2 Truly, there is no one as holy as YHWH. Truly, there is no one besides you, nor is there any rock like our God.
Tsy misy masìna tahaka an’ i Jehovah, fa tsy misy afa-tsy Hianao; ary tsy misy vatolampy tahaka an’ Andriamanitsika.
3 "Do not keep speaking proudly. Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth, for YHWH is a God of knowledge. By him actions are weighed.
Aza dia mahery miteny avonavona; ary aoka tsy haloaky ny vavanareo ny fireharehana. Fa Jehovah no Andriamanitry ny fahalalana, ary Izy no mandanja ny asa.
4 "The bows of the mighty men are broken. Those who stumbled are armed with strength.
Tapaka ny tsipìkan’ ny olo-mahery, ary izay mila ho reraka dia sikinana hery.
5 Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread. Those who were hungry are satisfied. Even the barren has borne seven, and she who has many children languishes.
Mikarama mofo ny voky, ary mianina kosa ny noana; ny momba miteraka fito, ary mihamalemy kosa ny maro anaka.
Jehovah no mahafaty sy mahavelona; izy no mampidina ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita ary mampitsangana. (Sheol h7585)
7 YHWH makes poor, and makes rich. He brings low, he also lifts up.
Jehovah no mampalahelo sy mampanan-karena; izy no mampietry sy mampisandratra.
8 He raises up the poor out of the dust. He lifts up the needy from the dunghill, To make them sit with princes, and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are YHWH's. He has set the world on them.
Izy no manangana ny malahelo ho afaka amin’ ny vovoka, ary manandratra ny mahantra hiala eo amin’ ny zezika, mba hampiara-mitoetra azy eo amin’ ny mpanapaka ka hampandova azy ny sezam-boninahitra; fa an’ i Jehovah ny andrin’ ny tany, ary izany no ametrahany izao tontolo izao.
9 He will guard the feet of his faithful ones, but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness. For no man will prevail by strength.
Ny tongotry ny olo-masiny dia tandremany, fa ny ratsy fanahy kosa hampangininy any amin’ ny maizina; fa tsy amin’ ny hery no handresen’ ny olona.
10 Those who strive with YHWH will be broken to pieces. He will thunder against them in the sky. "YHWH will judge the farthest parts of the earth. He will give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed."
Ho torotoro izay miady amin’ i Jehovah; any an-danitra Izy no hampikotrokorana hamely azy. Jehovah hitsara ny vazan-tany, ary Izy hanome hery ny mpanjakany sy hanandratra ny tandroky ny voahosony.
11 Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. The child served YHWH before Eli the priest.
Ary Elkana nankany an-tranony tany Rama; fa ny zaza kosa nanao fanompoam-pivavahana tamin’ i Jehovah teo anatrehan’ i Ely mpisorona.
12 Now the sons of Eli were base men; they did not know YHWH.
Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Ely dia tena ratsy fanahy, tsy nahalala an’ i Jehovah.
13 The custom of the priests with the people was that when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was boiling, with a fork of three teeth in his hand;
Ary izao no fanaon’ ny mpisorona tamin’ ny olona: Raha nisy olona namono zavatra hatao fanatitra, dia avy ny zatovon’ ny mpisorona nitondra fitrebika telo rantsana teny an-tànany, raha mbola nahandroina ny hena,
14 and he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fork brought up the priest took therewith. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.
dia natsindrony tao anatin’ ny fanendasana ny fitrebika, na tao anatin’ ny fahandroan-kena, na ny vilany, na ny vilanibe, ka izay rehetra azon’ ny fitrebika tao dia nalain’ ny mpisorona ho azy. Ary izany no fanaony tao Silo tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra izay tonga tao.
15 Yes, before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man who sacrificed, "Give meat to roast for the priest; for he will not accept boiled meat from you, but raw."
Ary raha tsy mbola nodorany ho fofona ny sabora, dia avy ny zatovon’ ny mpisorona ka nanao tamin’ izay lehilahy namono zavatra hatao fanatitra hoe: Omeo hena hatsatsika ho an’ ny mpisorona; fa tsy haka hena masaka aminao izy, fa ny manta ihany.
16 If the man said to him, "Let the fat be burned first, and then take all of it which your soul desires"; then he would say, "No, but you shall give it to me now; and if not, I will take it by force."
Ary raha nisy olona nanao taminy hoe: Hodorana aloha ny sabora, dia amin’ izay vao halainao izay sitraky ny fonao, dia novaliany hoe: Tsia; fa omeo ankehitriny izao ihany; fa raha tsy izany, dia halaiko an-keriny.
17 The sin of the young men was very great before YHWH; for they despised the offering of YHWH.
Ka dia lehibe indrindra ny helok’ ireo zatovo ireo teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, satria halan’ ny olona ny fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah.
18 But Samuel ministered before YHWH, being a child, clothed with a linen ephod.
Fa Samoela nanao fanompoam-pivavahana teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah raha mbola zaza, ary nisalotra efoda rongony fotsy izy.
19 Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
Ary nanaovan-dreniny akanjo kely izy, ka nentiny ho azy isan-taona isan-taona izany, raha niara-ran’ ny mpisorona avy amin’ ny olona. Koa raha niakatra tamin’ ny vadiny hanatitra ny fanatitra fanao isan-taona izy.
20 And Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, and said, "May YHWH repay you with offspring by this woman for the gift which she made to YHWH." And the man returned to his home.
Ary Ely nitso-drano an’ i Elkana mivady ka nanao hoe: Homen’ i Jehovah zaza amin’ ity vehivavy ity anie ianao ho solon’ ilay voatolotra ho an’ i Jehovah. Dia lasa nody izy mivady.
21 YHWH visited Hannah, and she bore more children, three sons and two daughters. The child Samuel grew before YHWH.
Ary Jehovah namangy an’ i Hana, ka dia nanan’ anaka koa izy ary niteraka lahy telo sy vavy roa. Ary Samoela zaza nitombo teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
22 Now Eli was very old; and he heard what his sons did to the children of Israel (and how that they lay with the women who served at the door of the Tent of Meeting).
Ary efa antitra indrindra Ely, ary izy nandre izay rehetra nataon’ ny zananilahy tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra sy ny nandriany tamin’ ireo vehivavy izay nanompo teo amin’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay fihaonana.
23 And he said to them, "Why do you do such things as these that I hear being said of you from the mouth of the people of YHWH?
Dia hoy izy taminy: Nahoana ianareo no manao izany zavatra izany? fa reko amin’ izao olona rehetra izao ny ratsy ataonareo.
24 No, my sons, do not do this. For it is not a good report that I hear the people of YHWH spreading.
Tsia anaka, fa tsy tsara ny teny reko; fa mampanota ny olon’ i Jehovah ianareo.
25 If a man sins gravely against another, he can appeal to YHWH; but if a man sins against YHWH, who can intercede for him?" But, they did not listen to the voice of their father, because YHWH intended to kill them.
Raha misy olona manota amin’ olona, dia ny mpitsara no hitsara azy; fa raha misy manota amin’ i Jehovah kosa, iza no hifona ho azy? Nefa tsy nihaino ny tenin-drainy izy ireo, satria sitrak’ i Jehovah ny hahafaty azy.
26 The child Samuel grew on, and increased in favor both with YHWH, and also with men.
Ary Samoela zaza nitombo, sady tian’ i Jehovah sy ny olona koa izy.
27 A man of God came to Eli, and said, "Thus says YHWH, I plainly revealed myself to the house of your father, when they were slaves in Egypt to the house of Pharaoh.
Ary nisy lehilahin’ Andriamanitra nankany amin’ i Ely ka nanao taminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Tsy efa niseho tokoa tamin’ ny ankohonan-drainao va Aho, raha mbola tany Egypta tao an-tranon’ i Farao izy?
28 And I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me. And I gave to the house of your father all the offerings by fire of the children of Israel as food.
Eny, nofidiko tamin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely rehetra ho mpisoroko izy mba hanatitra fanatitra eo ambonin’ ny alitarako sy handoro ditin-kazo manitra ary hisalotra efoda eo anatrehako, ary nomeko ho an’ ny tarana-drainao ny fanatitra rehetra ataon’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely amin’ ny afo.
29 Why do you look down on my sacrifice and on my offering, which I have commanded for my dwelling place, and honor your sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of Israel my people?'
Nahoana no hitsahinareo ny fanatitra alatsa-drà sy ny fanatitra hohanina izay aterina ho Ahy, dia ilay nasaiko hatao ao amin’ ny fonenako, ka ny zanakao no omenao voninahitra mihoatra noho Izaho, mba hanatavy anareo amin’ izay tsara indrindra amin’ ny fanatitra rehetra aterin’ ny Isiraely oloko?
30 "Therefore YHWH, the God of Israel, says, 'I said indeed that your house, and the house of your father, should walk before me forever.' But now YHWH says, 'Be it far from me; for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
Koa izany no anaovan’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, hoe: Efa voalazako tokoa fa ny taranakao sy ny tarana-drainao no handeha eo anatrehako mandrakizay; fa ankehitriny kosa, hoy Jehovah, sanatria Ahy izany; fa izay manome voninahitra Ahy no homeko voninahitra, ary izay manamavo Ahy no ho afa-baraka.
31 Look, the days come, that I will cut off your descendants, and the descendants of your father's house, that there shall not be an old man in your house.
Indro, avy ny andro izay hanapahako ny sandrinao sy ny sandrin’ ny tarana-drainao, ka tsy hisy lehilahy ho tratrantitra amin’ ny taranakao.
32 And you will see distress in the dwelling place, in all that he does good with Israel. And there will not be an old man in your house all the days.
Ary hahita ny manjo ny fonenako ianao na inona na inona soa omena ho an’ ny Isiraely, ka tsy hisy lehilahy ho tratrantitra amin’ ny taranakao mandrakizay.
33 And the man of yours I do not cut off from my altar will be to cause his eyes to fail and to grieve his soul, and all the increase of your house will die by the sword of men.
Nefa tsy dia hofongorako avokoa tsy ho eo anilan’ ny alitarako izy, mba hahapahina ny masonao sy hampalahelo ny fonao; ary ny taranakao rehetra dia ho faty raha vao herotrerony.
34 "'This shall be the sign to you, that shall come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall both die.
Ary izao no ho famantarana ho anao, izay hanjo ny zanakao roa lahy, dia Hofinia sy Finehasa: ho indray andro maty izy mirahalahy.
35 I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind. I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before my anointed forever.
Ary Izaho hanangana mpisorona mahatoky ho Ahy, izay hanao araka ny ato am-poko sy ato an-tsaiko; ary Izaho hampaharitra ny taranany, ka handeha eo anatrehan’ ny voahosotro mandrakizay izy.
36 It shall happen, that everyone who is left in your house shall come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say, "Please put me into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread."'"
Ary ho avy izay sisa rehetra amin’ ny taranakao ka hiankohoka eo anatrehany hangataka vola kely sy mofo iray ka hanao hoe: Masìna ianao, mba tendreo ho isan’ ny mpisorona aho, mba hahazoako sombi-mofo hohanina.
