1 Samuel 2
1 Hannah prayed, and said, “My heart exults in the LORD! My horn is exalted in the LORD. 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 There is no one as holy as the LORD, for 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 “Don’t keep talking so exceedingly proudly. Don’t let arrogance come out of your mouth, for the LORD 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. Yes, the barren has borne seven. 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 The LORD 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 the LORD’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 keep the feet of his holy 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 the LORD shall be broken to pieces. He will thunder against them in the sky. “The LORD will judge the ends 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 the LORD 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 wicked men. They didn’t know the LORD.
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 anyone offered a sacrifice, the priest’s servant came while the meat 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 stabbed it into the pan, or kettle, or cauldron, or pot. The priest took all that the fork brought up for himself. They did this to all the Israelites who came there to Shiloh.
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 burned 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 as much as 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 the LORD; for the men despised the LORD’s offering.
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 the LORD, 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 Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, “May the LORD give you offspring from this woman for the petition which was asked of the LORD.” Then they went to their own 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 The LORD visited Hannah, and she conceived and bore three sons and two daughters. The child Samuel grew before the LORD.
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 all that his sons did to all Israel, and how that they slept 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 He said to them, “Why do you do such things? For I hear of your evil dealings from all these people.
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; for it is not a good report that I hear! You make the LORD’s people disobey.
Tsia anaka, fa tsy tsara ny teny reko; fa mampanota ny olon’ i Jehovah ianareo.
25 If one man sins against another, God will judge him; but if a man sins against the LORD, who will intercede for him?” Notwithstanding, they didn’t listen to the voice of their father, because the LORD 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 the LORD 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 to him, “The LORD says, ‘Did I reveal myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt in bondage to Pharaoh’s house?
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 Didn’t I choose 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? Didn’t I give to the house of your father all the offerings of the children of Israel made by fire?
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 kick at my sacrifice and at my offering, which I have commanded in my habitation, 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 the LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘I said indeed that your house and the house of your father should walk before me forever.’ But now the LORD says, ‘Far be it from me; for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me will be cursed.
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 Behold, the days come that I will cut off your arm and the arm of your father’s house, that there will 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 You will see the affliction of my habitation, in all the wealth which I will give Israel. There shall not be an old man in your house forever.
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 The man of yours whom I don’t cut off from my altar will consume your eyes and grieve your heart. All the increase of your house will die in the flower of their age.
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 will be the sign to you that will come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they will 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 up a faithful priest for myself who will do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind. I will build him a sure house. He will 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 will happen that everyone who is left in your house will come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and will 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.
