< 1 Samuel 1 >

1 There was a man of Ramathaimsophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elcana, the son of Jeroham, the son of Eliu, the son of Thohu, the son of Suph, an Ephraimite:
Ọkùnrin kan wà, láti Ramataimu-Sofimu, láti ìlú olókè Efraimu, ẹni tí orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Elkana, ọmọ Jerohamu, ọmọ Elihu, ọmọ Tohu, ọmọ Sufu, ará Efrata.
2 And he had two wives, the name of one was Anna, and the name of the other Phenenna. Phenenna had children: but Anna had no children.
Ó sì ní ìyàwó méjì, orúkọ wọn ni Hana àti Penina: Penina ní ọmọ, ṣùgbọ́n Hana kò ní.
3 And this man went up out of his city upon the appointed days, to adore and to offer sacrifice to the Lord of hosts in Silo. And the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were there priests of the Lord.
Ní ọdọọdún, ọkùnrin yìí máa ń gòkè láti ìlú rẹ̀ láti lọ sìn àti láti ṣe ìrúbọ sí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun jùlọ ní Ṣilo, níbi tí àwọn ọmọkùnrin Eli méjèèjì, Hofini àti Finehasi ti jẹ́ àlùfáà Olúwa.
4 Now the day came, and Elcana offered sacrifice, and gave to Phenenna his wife, and to all her sons and daughters, portions:
Nígbàkígbà tí ó bá kan Elkana láti ṣe ìrúbọ, òun yóò bù lára ẹran fún aya rẹ̀ Penina àti fún gbogbo àwọn ọmọ ọkùnrin àti obìnrin.
5 But to Anna he gave one portion with sorrow, because he loved Anna. And the Lord had shut up her womb.
Ṣùgbọ́n ó máa ń pín ìlọ́po fun Hana nítorí pé ó fẹ́ràn rẹ̀ àti pé Olúwa ti sé e nínú.
6 Her rival also afflicted her, and troubled her exceedingly, insomuch that she upbraided her, that the Lord had shut up her womb:
Nítorí pé Olúwa ti sé e nínú, orogún rẹ̀ bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní fín níràn láti lè mú kí ó bínú.
7 And thus she did every year, when the time returned that they went up to the temple of the Lord: and thus she provoked her: but Anna wept, and did not eat.
Eléyìí sì máa ń ṣẹlẹ̀ ní ọdọọdún. Nígbàkígbà tí Hana bá gòkè lọ sí ilé Olúwa, orogún rẹ̀ a máa fín níràn títí tí yóò fi máa sọkún tí kò sì ní lè jẹun.
8 Then Elcana her husband said to her: Anna, why weepest thou? and why dost thou not eat? And why dost thou afflict thy heart? Am not I better to thee than ten children?
Elkana ọkọ rẹ̀ yóò sọ fún un pé, “Hana èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ń sọkún? Èéṣe tí ìwọ kò fi jẹun? Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ń ba ọkàn jẹ́? Èmi kò ha ju ọmọ mẹ́wàá lọ fún ọ bí?”
9 So Anna arose after she had eaten and drunk in Silo: And Heli the priest sitting upon a stool, before the door of the temple of the Lord:
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n ti jẹ, tí wọ́n tún mu tán ní Ṣilo, Hana dìde wá síwájú Olúwa. Nígbà náà, Eli àlùfáà wà lórí àga ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ ẹnu-ọ̀nà ilé Olúwa ní ibi tí ó máa ń jókòó.
10 As Anna had her heart full of grief, she prayed to the Lord, shedding many tears,
Pẹ̀lú ẹ̀dùn ọkàn Hana sọkún gidigidi, ó sì gbàdúrà sí Olúwa.
11 And she made a vow, saying: O Lord, of hosts, if thou wilt look down on the affliction of thy servant, and wilt be mindful of me, and not forget thy handmaid, and wilt give to thy servant a man child: I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.
Ó sì jẹ́ ẹ̀jẹ́ wí pé, “Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, jùlọ tí ìwọ bá le bojú wo ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ kí ìwọ sì rántí rẹ̀, tí ìwọ kò sì gbàgbé ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ṣùgbọ́n tí ìwọ yóò fún un ní ọmọkùnrin, nígbà náà èmi yóò sì fi fún Olúwa ní gbogbo ọjọ́ ayé rẹ̀ a kì yóò sì fi abẹ kàn án ní orí.”
12 And it came to pass, as she multiplied prayers before the Lord, that Heli observed her mouth.
Bí ó sì ṣe ń gbàdúrà sí Olúwa, Eli sì kíyèsi ẹnu rẹ̀.
13 Now Anna spoke in her heart, and only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard at all. Heli therefore thought her to be drunk,
Hana ń gbàdúrà láti inú ọkàn rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ètè rẹ̀ ni ó ń mì, a kò gbọ́ ohùn rẹ̀. Eli rò wí pé ó ti mu ọtí yó.
14 And said to her: How long wilt thou, be drunk? digest a little the wine, of which thou hast taken too much.
Eli sì wí fún un pé, “Yóò ti pẹ́ fún ọ tó tí ìwọ yóò máa yó? Mú ọtí wáìnì rẹ̀ kúrò.”
15 Anna answering, said: Not so, my lord: for I am an exceeding unhappy woman, and have drunk neither wine nor any strong drink, but I have poured out my soul before the Lord.
Hana dá a lóhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, Olúwa mi, èmi ni obìnrin oníròbìnújẹ́. Èmi kò mu ọtí wáìnì tàbí ọtí líle; èmi ń tú ọkàn mi jáde sí Olúwa ni.
16 Count not thy handmaid for one of the daughters of Belial: for out of the abundance of my sorrow and grief have I spoken till now.
Má ṣe mú ìránṣẹ́ rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí obìnrin búburú. Èmi ti ń gbàdúrà níhìn-ín nínú ìrora ọkàn àti ìbànújẹ́ mi.”
17 Then Heli said to her: Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition, which thou hast asked of him.
Eli dáhùn pé, “Máa lọ ní àlàáfíà, kí Ọlọ́run Israẹli fi ohun tí ìwọ ti béèrè ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀ fún ọ.”
18 And she said: Would to God thy handmaid may find grace in thy eyes. So the woman went on her way, and ate, and her countenance was no more changed.
Ó wí pé, “Kí ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ rí oore-ọ̀fẹ́ lójú rẹ.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni obìnrin náà bá tirẹ̀ lọ, ó sì jẹun, kò sì fa ojú ro mọ́.
19 And they rose in the morning, and worshipped before the Lord: and they returned, and came into their house at Ramatha. And Elcana knew Anna his wife: and the Lord remembered her.
Wọ́n sì dìde ni kùtùkùtù òwúrọ̀, wọn wólẹ̀ sìn níwájú Olúwa, wọn padà wa sí ilé wọn ni Rama: Elkana si mọ Hana aya rẹ̀: Olúwa sì rántí rẹ̀.
20 And it came to pass when the time was come about, Anna conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel: because she had asked him of the Lord.
Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí ọjọ́ rẹ̀ pé, lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Hana lóyún, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan, ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Samuẹli, pé, “Nítorí tí mo béèrè rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ Olúwa.”
21 And Elcana her husband went up, and all his house, to offer to the Lord the solemn sacrifice, and his vow.
Ọkùnrin náà Elkana, àti gbogbo àwọn ará ilé rẹ̀, gòkè lọ láti rú ẹbọ ọdún sí Olúwa, àti láti sán ẹ̀jẹ́ rẹ̀.
22 But Anna went not up: for she said to her husband: I will not go till the child be weaned, and till I may carry him, that he may appear before the Lord, and may abide always there.
Ṣùgbọ́n Hana kò gòkè lọ; nítorí tí ó sọ fún ọkọ rẹ̀ pé, “Ó di ìgbà tí mo bá gba ọmú lẹ́nu ọmọ náà, nígbà náà ni èmi yóò mú un lọ, kí òun lè fi ara hàn níwájú Olúwa, kí ó sí máa gbé ibẹ̀ títí láé.”
23 And Elcana her husband said to her: Do what seemeth good to thee, and stay till thou wean him: and I pray that the Lord may fulfill his word. So the woman stayed at home, and gave her son suck, till she weaned him.
Elkana ọkọ rẹ̀ sì wí fún un pé, “Ṣe èyí tí ó tọ́ lójú rẹ. Dúró títí ìwọ yóò fi gba ọmú lẹ́nu rẹ̀; ṣùgbọ́n kí Olúwa sá à mú ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ ṣẹ.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni obìnrin náà sì jókòó, ó sì fi ọmú fún ọmọ rẹ̀ títí ó fi gbà á lẹ́nu rẹ̀.
24 And after she had weaned him, she carried him with her, with three calves, and three bushels of flour, and a bottle of wine, and she brought him to the house of the Lord in Silo. Now the child was as yet very young:
Nígbà tí ó sì gba ọmú lẹ́nu rẹ̀, ó sì mú un gòkè lọ pẹ̀lú ara rẹ̀. Pẹ̀lú ẹgbọrọ màlúù mẹ́ta, àti ìyẹ̀fun efa kan, àti ìgò ọtí wáìnì kan, ó sì mú un wá sí ilé Olúwa ní Ṣilo: ọmọ náà sì wà ní ọmọdé.
25 And they immolated a calf, and offered the child to Heli.
Wọ́n pa ẹgbọrọ màlúù, wọ́n sì mú ọmọ náà tọ Eli wá.
26 And Anna said: I beseech thee, my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord: I am that woman who stood before thee here praying to the Lord.
Hana sì wí pé, “Olúwa mi, bí ọkàn rẹ ti wà láààyè, Olúwa mi, èmi ni obìnrin náà tí ó dúró lẹ́bàá ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ níhìn-ín tí ń tọrọ lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa.
27 For this child did I pray, and the Lord hath granted me my petition, which I asked of him.
Ọmọ yìí ni mo ń tọrọ; Olúwa sì fi ìdáhùn ìbéèrè tí mo béèrè lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ fún mi.
28 Therefore I also have lent him to the Lord all the days of his life, he shall be lent to the Lord. And they adored the Lord there. And Anna prayed, and said:
Nítorí náà pẹ̀lú, èmi fi í fún Olúwa; ní gbogbo ọjọ́ ayé rẹ̀: nítorí tí mo ti béèrè rẹ̀ fún Olúwa.” Wọn si wólẹ̀ sin Olúwa níbẹ̀.
