1 Samuel 2
1 My heart hath rejoiced in the Lord, and my horn is exalted in my God: my mouth is enlarged over my enemies: because I have joyed in thy salvation.
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.
2 There is none holy as the Lord is: for there is no other beside thee, and there is none strong like our God.
“Kò sí ẹni tí ó mọ́ bi Olúwa; kò sí ẹlòmíràn bí kò ṣe ìwọ; kò sì sí àpáta bi Ọlọ́run wa.
3 Do not multiply to speak lofty things, boasting: let old matters depart from your mouth: for the Lord is a God of all knowledge, and to him are thoughts prepared.
“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.
4 The bow of the mighty is overcome, and the weak are girt with strength.
“Ọ̀run àwọn alágbára ti ṣẹ́, àwọn tí ó ṣe aláìlera ni a fi agbára dì ní àmùrè.
5 They that were full before have hired out themselves for bread: and the hungry are filled, so that the barren hath borne many: and she that had many children is weakened.
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.
6 The Lord killeth and maketh alive, he bringeth down to hell and bringeth back again. (Sheol h7585)
“Olúwa pa ó sì sọ di ààyè; ó mú sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí isà òkú, ó sì gbé dìde. (Sheol h7585)
7 The Lord maketh poor and maketh rich, he humbleth and he exalteth.
Olúwa sọ di tálákà; ó sì sọ di ọlọ́rọ̀; ó rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, ó sì gbé sókè.
8 He raiseth up the needy from the dust, and lifteth up the poor from the dunghill: that he may sit with princes, and hold the throne of glory. For the poles of the earth are the Lord’s, and upon them he hath set the world.
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.
9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness, because no man shall prevail by his own strength.
Yóò pa ẹsẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ rẹ̀ mọ́, àwọn ènìyàn búburú ni yóò dákẹ́ ní òkùnkùn. “Nípa agbára kò sí ọkùnrin tí yóò borí.
10 The adversaries of the Lord shall fear him: and upon them shall he thunder in the heavens. The Lord shall judge the ends of the earth, and he shall give empire to his king, and shall exalt the horn of his Christ.
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.”
11 And Elcana went to Ramatha, to his house: but the child ministered in the sight of the Lord before the face of Heli the priest.
Elkana sì lọ sí Rama, sí ilé rẹ̀, ọmọ náà sì ń ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún Olúwa níwájú Eli àlùfáà.
12 Now the sons of Heli were children of Belial, not knowing the Lord,
Àwọn ọmọ Eli sì jẹ́ ọmọ Beliali; wọn kò mọ Olúwa.
13 Nor the office of the priests to the people: but whosoever had offered a sacrifice, the servant of the priest came, while the flesh was in boiling, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand,
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.
14 And thrust it into the kettle, or into the caldron, or into the pot, or into the pan: and all that the fleshhook brought up, the priest took to himself. Thus did they to all Israel that came to Silo.
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.
15 Also before they burnt the fat, the servant of the priest came, and said to the man that sacrificed: Give me flesh to boil for the priest: for I will not take of thee sodden flesh, but raw.
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.”
16 And he that sacrificed said to him: Let the fat first be burnt today according to the custom, and then take as much as thy soul desireth. But he answered and said to him: Not so: but thou shalt give it me now, or else I will take it by force.
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.”
17 Wherefore the sin of the young men was exceeding great before the Lord: because they withdrew men from the sacrifice of the Lord.
Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin náà sì tóbi gidigidi níwájú Olúwa: nítorí tí àwọn ènìyàn kórìíra ẹbọ Olúwa.
18 But Samuel ministered before the face of the Lord: being a child girded with a linen ephod.
Ṣùgbọ́n Samuẹli ń ṣe ìránṣẹ́ níwájú Olúwa, ọmọdé, ti a wọ̀ ní efodu ọ̀gbọ̀.
19 And his mother made him a little coat, which she brought to him on the appointed days, when she went up with her husband, to offer the solemn sacrifice.
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.
20 And Heli blessed Elcana and his wife: and he said to him: The Lord give thee seed of this woman, for the loan thou hast lent to the Lord. And they went to their own home.
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.
21 And the Lord visited Anna, and she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters: and the child Samuel became great before the Lord.
Olúwa si bojú wo Hana, ó sì lóyún, ó bí ọmọkùnrin mẹ́ta àti ọmọbìnrin méjì. Samuẹli ọmọ náà sì ń dàgbà níwájú Olúwa.
22 Now Heli was very old, and he heard all that his sons did to all Israel: and how they lay with the women that waited at the door of the tabernacle:
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.
23 And he said to them: Why do ye these kinds of things, which I hear, very wicked things, from all the people?
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.
24 Do not so, my sons: for it is no good report that I hear, that you make the people of the Lord to transgress.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ ẹ̀yin ọmọ mi, nítorí kì ṣe ìròyìn rere èmi gbọ́; ẹ̀yin mú ènìyàn Olúwa dẹ́ṣẹ̀.
25 If one man shall sin against another, God may be appeased in his behalf: but if a man shall sin against the Lord, who shall pray for him? And they hearkened not to the voice of their father, because the Lord would slay them.
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.
26 But the child Samuel advanced, and grew on, and pleased both the Lord and men.
Ọmọ náà Samuẹli ń dàgbà, ó sì rí ojúrere lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa, àti ènìyàn pẹ̀lú.
27 And there came a man of God to Heli, and said to him: Thus saith the Lord: Did I not plainly appear to thy father’s house, when they were in Egypt in the house of Pharao?
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.
28 And I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my sitar, and burn incense to me, and to wear the ephod before me: and I gave to thy father’s house of all the sacrifices of the children of Israel.
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.
29 Why have you kicked away my victims, and my gifts which I commanded to be offered in the temple: and thou hast rather honoured thy sons than me, to eat the firstfruits of every sacrifice of my people Israel?
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.’
30 Wherefore thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father should minister in my sight, for ever. But now saith the Lord: Far be this from me: but whosoever shall glorify me, him will I glorify: but they that despise me, shall be despised.
“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.
31 Behold the days come: and I will cut off thy arm, and the arm of thy father’s house, that there shall not be an old man in thy house.
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.
32 And thou shalt see thy rival in the temple, in all the prosperity of Israel, and there shall not be an old man in thy house for ever.
Ìwọ yóò rí wàhálà ti Àgọ́, nínú gbogbo ọlá tí Ọlọ́run yóò fi fún Israẹli; kì yóò sí arúgbó kan nínú ilé rẹ láéláé.
33 However I will not altogether take away a man of thee from my altar: but that thy eyes may faint and thy soul be spent: and a great part of thy house shall die when they come to man’s estate.
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.
34 And this shall be a sign to thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, Ophni and Phinees: In one day they shall both of them die.
“‘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.
35 And I will raise me up a faithful priest, who shall do according to my heart, and my soul, and I will build him a faithful house, and he shall walk all days before my anointed.
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.
36 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall remain in thy house, shall come that he may be prayed for, and shall offer a piece of silver, and a roll of bread, and shall say: Put me, I beseech thee, to somewhat of the priestly office, that I may eat a morsel of bread.
