1 Samuel 2
1 Eka Hana nolemo kawacho niya, “Chunya oil gi Jehova Nyasaye; Jehova Nyasaye osetingʼa malo ma tekona onenore. Gi dhoga asungora ne wasika, nikech amor gi warruokni.
And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoices in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in your salvation.
2 “Onge ngʼama ler ka Jehova Nyasaye; kendo onge moro makmana in; onge Lwanda machal gi Nyasachwa.
There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside you: neither is there any rock like our God.
3 “Weuru siko ka uwuoyo gi sunga ahinya, kata weyo dhogi wuoyo gi ngʼayi, nikech Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasaye mongʼeyo nimar en ema onono timbe.
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 “Atunge mag jolweny osetur, to jogo mayom yom osemi teko.
The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
5 Jogo mane nigo koro tiyo mondo oyud chiemo, to jogo mane denyo koro kegi orumo. Mano mane migumba osenywolo nyithindo abiriyo to mano mane nigi yawuowi to koro odongʼ nono.
They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren has born seven; and she that has many children is waxed feeble.
The LORD kills, and makes alive: he brings down to the grave, and brings up. (Sheol h7585)
7 Jehova Nyasaye ema kelo dhier gi mwandu, josunga odwoko piny, to joma muol otingʼo malo.
The LORD makes poor, and makes rich: he brings low, and lifts up.
8 Otingʼo jachan malo kogolo e buru kendo otingʼo ngʼama odhier malo kogolo e ipidh yugi; omiyo gibedo kaachiel gi yawuot ruodhi bende omiyo gibedoe kombe moyiedhi. “Nimar mise mag piny gin mag Jehova Nyasaye, kanyo ema oserenjoe piny ngima.
He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts 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 has set the world upon them.
9 Obiro chiko tiende joge maler to joricho to nolal ei mudho. “Ngʼato ok lochi mana nikech teko;
He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
10 joma piem gi Jehova Nyasaye ibiro tur matindo tindo. Obiro mornegi gie polo; kendo Jehova Nyasaye biro ngʼado bura ne tunge piny. “Obiro miyo ruodhe teko kendo obiro miyo teko mar ngʼate mowir onenre.”
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 Eka Elkana nodok dalane Rama to wuowino noweyo katiyo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye e bwo Eli jadolo.
And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the LORD before Eli the priest.
12 Yawuot Eli ne timbegi mono kendo ne ok gidew Jehova Nyasaye.
Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.
13 Koro ma e tim mane jodolo timo ne ji kane ngʼato angʼata ne chiwo misango, kendo kane pod ringʼo chiek, to jatij jadolo ne biroga gi uma mabor man-gi leke adek e lwete.
And the priest's custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fork of three teeth in his hand;
14 Nolutoga umano e sufuria, kata aguch ringʼo gi agulni mamoko mag tedo kendo jadolo ne kawo ringʼo moro amora ma uma ochwoyo. Mano e kaka negitimo ni jo-Israel duto mane biro Shilo.
And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fork brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither.
15 To kata ka boche ne pok owangʼ, jatich jadolo ne biroga ma wach ne ngʼama chiwo misango niya, “Mi jadolo ringʼo moko mondo obul nikech ok obi yie kawo ringʼo mosetedi kuomi makmana manumu.”
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 you, but raw.
16 To ka ngʼatno nowachone niya, “We mondo boche okuong owangʼ mondi eka ikaw gimoro amora midwaro,” to jatijno nedwoko niya, “Ngangʼ miyago sani; ka ok imiyago, to abiro kawe githuon.”
And if any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much as your soul desires; then he would answer him, Nay; but you shall give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force.
17 Richo mag yawuowigi ne lich ahinya e nyim Jehova Nyasaye nikech ne gichayo gima ochiw ne Jehova Nyasaye.
Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.
18 Samuel to ne tiyo, e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ka en wuowi matin korwako law mayom mar dolo miluongo ni efod.
But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.
19 Higa ka higa min ne twangʼone law matin kendo terone e kinde mane ojadhi gi chwore ka gidhi timo misango mar higa ka higa.
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 negwedho Elkana gi chiege kowacho niya, “Mad Jehova Nyasaye miyi nyithindo gi dhakoni mondo ochul kar mane olamo kokwayo kendo omiyo Jehova Nyasaye.” Bangʼe negidok dalagi.
And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give you seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went unto their own home.
21 To Jehova Nyasaye ne mor gi Hana; kendo nomako ich monywolo yawuowi adek gi nyiri ariyo. To Samuel nodongo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
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 Koro Eli mane oseti ahinya; nowinjo timbe duto mane yawuote timo ne jo-Israel kaka negiterore gi mon mane tiyo e dhoranga Hemb Romo.
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 Nowachonegi niya, “Angʼo momiyo utimo timbegi? Awinjo kuom ji duto timbeu marichogi.
And he said unto them, Why do all of you such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.
24 Ooyo yawuota; ok en huma maber ma awinjo kalandore e kind oganda Jehova Nyasaye.
Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: all of you make the LORD's people to transgress.
25 Ka ngʼato okethone ngʼat machielo to Nyasaye nyalo thegogi; to ka koro ngʼato oketho ne Jehova Nyasaye, en ngʼa mabiro kwayone?” Kata kamano yawuotego ne ok owinjo siem wuon-gi nikech Jehova Nyasaye ne osechano mondo oneg-gi.
If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall implore for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them.
26 To wuowi Samuel nomedo dongo; kendo Jehova Nyasaye kod ji ne mor kode.
And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the LORD, and also with men.
27 Ngʼat Nyasaye moro nobiro ir Eli mowachone niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho, ‘Donge ne afwenyora ratiro ni od wuonu kane pod gin Misri e bwo loch Farao?
And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus says the LORD, Did I plainly appear unto the house of your father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?
28 Nayiero wuonu e kind dhout Israel mondo obed jadolona mondo oidh malo e kendona mar misango, mondo owangʼ ubani, kendo orwak law mayom mar dolo miluongo ni efod e nyima. Ne achako amiyo od wuonu misengini duto ma jo-Israel wangʼo gi mach.
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 your father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?
29 Angʼo momiyo ichayo misangona kod chiwo ma asechiwoni kar dakna? Angʼo momiyo imiyo yawuoti duongʼ moloya ka uchiemo kendo ubedo machwe un uwegi kendo ka uyiero kuonde mabeyoe moloyo kuom chiwo ka chiwo ma joga Israel chiwo?’
Wherefore kick all of you at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honour your sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?
30 “Kuom mano Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach jo-Israel wacho ni, ‘Ne asingora ni odi kod od wuonu nobed jotichna nyaka chiengʼ.’ To koro Jehova Nyasaye wacho ni, ‘Ma ok anatim! Joma miya duongʼ ema abiro miyo duongʼ, to joma ochaya ok nobed gimoro.
Wherefore the LORD God of Israel says, I said indeed that your house, and the house of your father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD says, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
31 Ndalo biro ma anatiekie tekoni kod teko mar od wuonu, mi ok noyudi ngʼato angʼata moti e dhoodu.
Behold, the days come, that I will cut off your arm, and the arm of your father's house, that there shall not be an old man in your house.
32 Kendo inibed gi chandruok e kar dakna kata obedo ni jo-Israel none ber to ei anywolani to onge ngʼat manodag amingʼa mabed moti.
And you shall see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in your house for ever.
33 Ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu ma ok agolo e tich mar kendona mar misango anawe mondo omi wengeu opongʼ gi pi wangʼ kendo mondo omi chunyu lit, to ogandani duto to notho kapod gin jomatindo.
And the man of yours, whom I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to consume your eyes, and to grieve your heart: and all the increase of your house shall die in the flower of their age.
34 “‘To gima timore ne yawuoti ariyo ma gin Hofni gi Finehas nobedni ranyisi kendo gibiro tho odiechiengʼ achiel.
And this shall be a sign unto you, that shall come upon your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.
35 To abiro chungo Jadolona awuon ma en ngʼat ma ja-adiera, manotim gik moko duto man e chunya kod pacha. Abiro guro ode matek, kendo obiro tiyo ndalo duto e nyim ngʼata ma awiro.
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 To jogo mane dongʼ e dhoodi nobi ire kakulore e nyime mondo omi fedha gi kuon kendo nokwaye niya, “Yie imiya tich dolo moro mondo ayud kaka dayud chiemo machamo.”’”
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in your house shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray you, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.
