1 Samuel 2
1 And Hannah prayed, and said, Mine heart reioyceth in the Lord, mine horne is exalted in the Lord: my mouth is enlarged ouer mine enemies, because I reioyce in thy saluation.
Pea naʻe lotu ʻa ʻAna, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku fiefia hoku loto ʻia Sihova, ʻoku fakahikihiki hoku mālohi ʻia Sihova; kuo mafaʻa hoku ngutu ki hoku ngaahi fili; ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku fiefia ʻi hoʻo fakamoʻui.
2 There is none holy as the Lord: yea, there is none besides thee, and there is no god like our God.
ʻOku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ʻo hangē ko Sihova: he ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha mo koe: pea ʻoku ʻikai foki ha makatuʻu ʻo hangē ko hotau ʻOtua.
3 Speake no more presumptuously: let not arrogancie come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him enterprises are established.
ʻOua naʻa toe talanoa fakafiefielahi faufau pehē; ʻoua naʻa hā mai ʻae lea mālohi mei ho ngutu: he ko e ʻOtua ʻoe loto ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku ʻekeʻi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi faianga.
4 The bow and the mightie men are broken, and the weake haue girded themselues with strength.
Kuo fesiʻi ʻae ngaahi kaufana ʻae kau tangata mālohi, pea ko kinautolu naʻe tūkia kuo nonoʻo ʻaki ʻae mālohi.
5 They that were full, are hired foorth for bread, and the hungrie are no more hired, so that the barren hath borne seuen: and shee that had many children, is feeble.
Ko kinautolu naʻe mākona kuo nau fakamoʻua ʻakinautolu ke ngāue ki he meʻakai; pea kuo ngata ʻakinautolu naʻe fiekaia: pea kuo fanauʻi ʻae toko fitu ʻe he paʻa; pea ko ia kuo tokolahi ʻene fānau kuo hoko ʻo vaivai.
ʻOku tāmateʻi ʻe Sihova, pea ne fakamoʻui: ʻoku ne ʻohifo ki he faʻitoka, pea ʻoku ne toe ʻo hake. (Sheol h7585)
7 The Lord maketh poore and maketh rich: bringeth lowe, and exalteth.
ʻOku fakamasiva ʻe Sihova, pea ne fakamaʻumeʻaʻi: ʻoku ne fakamoʻulaloa, mo ne hiki ki ʻolunga.
8 He raiseth vp ye poore out of the dust, and lifteth vp the begger from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherite the seate of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lordes, and he hath set the world vpon them.
ʻOku ne hiki hake ʻae masiva mei he efu, ʻo fakahikihiki ʻae faʻa kole mei he tuʻunga veve, ke fakanofo ʻakinautolu mo e houʻeiki, pea ke ne ngaohi ʻakinautolu kenau maʻu ʻae nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki: he ko e ngaahi pou ʻo māmani ʻoku ʻo Sihova, pea kuo ne fokotuʻu ʻa māmani ki ai.
9 Hee will keepe the feete of his Saintes, and the wicked shall keepe silence in darkenes: for in his owne might shall no man be strong.
ʻE tauhi ʻe ia ʻae vaʻe ʻo ʻene kau māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻe longo pe ʻae kau angakovi ʻi he poʻuli; koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai lavaʻi ha meʻa ʻe ha tangata ʻi he mālohi.
10 The Lordes aduersaries shall be destroyed, and out of heauen shall he thunder vpon them: the Lord shall iudge the endes of the worlde, and shall giue power vnto his King, and exalt the horne of his Anoynted.
ʻE fesifesiʻi ʻae ngaahi fili ʻo Sihova; ʻe mana ʻe ia kiate kinautolu mei langi: “ʻE fakamaau ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani; pea ʻe foaki ʻe ia ʻae mālohi ki heʻene tuʻi, pea ne fakahikihiki ʻae mālohi ʻo ia kuo ne pani.”
11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house, and the childe did minister vnto the Lord before Eli the Priest.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻElikena ki hono fale ki Lama. Pea naʻe tauhi ʻa Sihova ʻe he tamasiʻi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Ilai ko e taulaʻeiki.
12 Now the sonnes of Eli were wicked men, and knewe not the Lord.
Ka ko eni ko e fānau ʻoe angakovi ʻae ongo foha ʻo Ilai; naʻe ʻikai te na ʻilo ʻa Sihova.
13 For the Priestes custome towarde the people was this: when any man offered sacrifice, the Priestes boy came, while the flesh was seething, and a fleshhooke with three teeth, in his hand,
Pea ko e anga naʻe fai ʻe he taulaʻeiki ki he kakai, naʻe pehē, ʻi he ʻatu ʻe ha tangata ha feilaulau, naʻe haʻu ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻae taulaʻeiki ʻi he kei haka ʻae kakano, mo e meʻa huhu matatolu ʻi hono nima;
14 And thrust it into the kettle, or into the caldron, or into the panne, or into the potte: all that the fleshhooke brought vp, the Priest tooke for himselfe: thus they did vnto all the Israelites, that came thither to Shiloh.
Pea naʻa ne velo ia ki he fakapaku, pe ko e kulo, pe ha meʻa haka luoluo, pea ʻilonga ʻaia naʻe matoʻo hake ʻe he huhu naʻe ʻave ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki maʻana. Pea naʻe pehē ʻenau fai ʻi Sailo ki he kakai ʻIsileli kotoa pē naʻe ʻalu ki ai.
15 Yea, before they burnt the fat, the priests boy came and saide to the man that offered, Giue me flesh to rost for the priest: for he wil not haue sodden flesh of thee, but rawe.
Pea ʻi he teʻeki ai tutu foki ʻae ngako, naʻe haʻu ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻae taulaʻeiki, ʻo ne pehē ki he tangata ʻoku fai ʻae feilaulau, “Tuku mai ʻae kakano ke tunu maʻae taulaʻeiki; koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ne kai kakano haka ʻiate koe, ka ko e kanomate.”
16 And if any man saide vnto him, Let them burne the fatte according to the custome, then take as much as thine heart desireth: then hee would answere, No, but thou shalt giue it nowe: and if thou wilt not, I will take it by force.
Pea kapau naʻe pehēange ʻe ha tangata kiate ia, “ʻOua naʻa nau taʻofi kae tutu leva ʻae ngako, pea ke toki ʻave ʻa ia, kotoa pē ʻoku ke loto ki ai; naʻe tali pehē leva ʻe ia ia, ‘ʻIkai;’ ka ke tuku mai leva ia kiate au: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai, te u ʻave fakamālohi ia.”
17 Therefore the sinne of the yong men was very great before the Lord: for men abhorred the offering of the Lord.
Ko ia naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻae angahala ʻae ongo talavou ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: he naʻe fehiʻa ʻae kakai ki he feilaulau kia Sihova.
18 Now Samuel being a yong childe ministred before the Lord, girded with a linen Ephod.
Ka naʻe tauhi ʻe Samuela ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ko e tamasiʻi kuo nonoʻo ʻaki ʻae ʻefoti ʻoe tupenu lelei.
19 And his mother made him a litle coat, and brought it to him from yeere to yeere, when she came vp with her husband, to offer the yerely sacrifice.
Pea naʻe ngaohi foki ʻe heʻene faʻē ʻae kofutuʻa siʻi, ʻo ʻomi kiate ia ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē, ʻi heʻene ʻalu hake mo hono husepāniti ke ʻatu ʻae feilaulau ʻoe taʻu.
20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The Lord giue thee seede of this woman, for the petition that she asked of the Lord: and they departed vnto their place.
Pea naʻe tāpuaki ʻe Ilai ʻa ʻElikena mo hono uaifi, ʻo ne pehē, “Ke ʻatu ʻe Sihova kiate koe ʻae hako ʻi he fefine ni ʻi he kole ni ʻaia kuo tuku kia Sihova.” Pea naʻa na ō ki hona ʻapi.
21 And the Lord visited Hannah, so that she conceiued, and bare three sonnes, and two daughters. And the childe Samuel grewe before the Lord.
Pea naʻe ʻaʻahi ʻa Sihova kia ʻAna, ko ia naʻa ne feitama, pea ne fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama ʻe toko tolu mo e taʻahine ʻe toko ua. Pea naʻe tupu pē ʻae tamasiʻi ko Samuela ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
22 So Eli was very olde, and heard all that his sonnes did vnto all Israel, and howe they laye with the women that assembled at the doore of the tabernacle of the Congregation.
Pea kuo motuʻa lahi ʻa Ilai, ʻo ne fanongo ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe hono ongo foha ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē; mo ʻenau mohe mo e kau fefine naʻe fakataha ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.
23 And hee saide vnto them, Why doe ye such things? for of all this people I heare euill reportes of you.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinaua. “Ko e hā ʻoku mo fai ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa pehē? He ʻoku ou fanongo ki hoʻomou fai angakovi ʻi he kakai ni kotoa pē.
24 Do no more, my sonnes, for it is no good report that I heare, which is, that ye make the Lords people to trespasse.
ʻOua, ʻe hoku ongo foha; he ʻoku ʻikai ko e ongolelei ʻoku ou ongoʻi: ʻoku mou fakalanga ʻae lāunga ʻi he kakai ʻo Sihova.
25 If one man sinne against another, the Iudge shall iudge it: but if a man sinne against the Lord, who will pleade for him? Notwithstanding they obeyed not the voyce of their father, because the Lord would slay them.
Kapau ʻoku fai angahala ha tangata ʻe tokotaha ki he tokotaha, ʻe fakamaauʻi ia ʻe he fakamaau: pea kapau ʻoku fai angahala ʻe ha tangata kia Sihova, ko hai te ne fakalaloaʻi ia?” Ka naʻe ʻikai te na tokanga ki he leʻo ʻo ʻena tamai, koeʻuhi naʻe finangalo ʻa Sihova ke tāmateʻi ʻakinaua.
26 (Nowe the childe Samuel profited and grewe, and was in fauour both with the Lord and also with men)
Pea naʻe tupu pē ʻae tamasiʻi ko Samuela, pea naʻe ʻofeina ia ʻia Sihova, pea mo e kakai foki.
27 And there came a man of God vnto Eli, and said vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Did not I plainely appeare vnto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaohs house?
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua kia Ilai, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova, ʻIkai naʻaku hā atu au ki he fale ʻo hoʻo tamai ʻi heʻenau ʻi ʻIsipite ʻi he fale ʻo Felo?
28 And I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my Priest, to offer vpon mine altar, and to burne incense, and to weare an Ephod before me, and I gaue vnto the house of thy father all the offrings made by fire of the children of Israel.
Pea ʻikai naʻaku fili ia mei he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli ke hoko ko hoku taulaʻeiki, ke fai ʻae ngāue ʻi heʻeku feilaulauʻanga, ke tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala, pea ke kofuʻaki ʻae ʻefoti ʻi hoku ʻao? Pea ʻikai naʻaku foaki ki he fale ʻo hoʻo tamai, ʻae ngaahi feilaulau naʻe ngaohi ʻaki ʻae afi ʻe he fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli?
29 Wherefore haue you kicked against my sacrifice and mine offering, which I commanded in my Tabernacle, and honourest thy children aboue mee, to make your selues fatte of the first fruites of all the offerings of Israel my people?
Ko e hā ʻoku mou ʻakahi ai ki heʻeku feilaulau, mo e meʻa ʻatu, ʻaia kuo u fekauʻi ʻi hoku nofoʻanga; mo ke fakaʻapaʻapa lahi hake ki ho ongo foha ʻiate au, ke fakasino kimoutolu ʻaki ʻae lelei lahi ʻoe ngaahi feilaulau ʻa ʻIsileli ko hoku kakai?
30 Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I saide, that thine house and the house of thy father should walke before mee for euer: but nowe the Lord saith, It shall not be so: for them that honour me, I will honour, and they that despise me, shall be despised.
“Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ‘Naʻaku pehē moʻoni, ko ho fale mo e fale ʻo hoʻo tamai, ʻe ʻaʻeva ʻi hoku ʻao ʻo taʻengata: ka ko eni, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Ke mamaʻo ia ʻiate au; he ko kinautolu ʻoku fakaʻapaʻapa kiate au, te u fakahikihikiʻi ʻakinautolu, pea ko kinautolu ʻoku manukiʻi au ʻe ʻikai te u tokangaʻi.
31 Beholde, the dayes come, that I will cut off thine arme, and the arme of thy fathers house, that there shall not be an olde man in thine house.
Vakai, ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, te u motuhi ai ho nima, pea mo e nima ʻoe fale ʻo hoʻo tamai, pea ʻe ʻikai ai ha tangata ʻe motuʻa ʻi ho fale.
32 And thou shalt see thine enemie in the habitation of the Lord in all thinges wherewith God shall blesse Israel, and there shall not be an olde man in thine house for euer.
Pea te ke mamata ki he fakamamahiʻi ʻo hoku nofoʻanga, neongo ʻae lelei kotoa pē kuo foaki ki ʻIsileli: pea ʻe ʻikai ha tangata ʻe motuʻa ʻi ho fale ʻo taʻengata.
33 Neuerthelesse, I will not destroy euery one of thine from mine altar, to make thine eyes to faile, and to make thine heart sorowfull: and all ye multitude of thine house shall die when they be men.
Pea ko e tangata ʻoʻou, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai te u motuhi mei hoku feilaulauʻanga, ʻe hoko ia ke fakakui ho mata, mo fakamamahi ki ho loto: pea ko ia kotoa pē ʻe tupu ʻi ho fale tenau mate ʻi heʻenau kei fatu tangata.
34 And this shalbe a signe vnto thee, that shall come vpon thy two sonnes Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die both.
Pea ko e fakaʻilonga eni kiate koe, ʻaia ʻe hoko ki ho ongo foha, ʻa Hofini mo Finiasi; ʻe mate ʻakinaua ʻi he ʻaho pē taha.
35 And I will stirre me vp a faithfull Priest, that shall do according to mine heart and according to my minde: and I wil build him a sure house, and he shall walke before mine Anointed for euer.
Pea te u fokotuʻu moʻoku ʻae taulaʻeiki angatonu, ʻaia te ne fai ʻo fakatatau mo ia ʻoku ʻi hoku loto mo hoku ʻatamai: pea te u langa moʻona ʻae fale ke maʻu; pea ʻe ʻeveʻeva ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo ia kuo u pani ʻo taʻengata.
36 And all that are left in thine house, shall come and bowe downe to him for a piece of siluer and a morsell of bread, and shall say, Appoint me, I pray thee, to one of the priestes offices, that I may eate a morsell of bread.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻe haʻu kiate ia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku toe ʻi ho fale, ʻo punou kiate ia ke maʻu ai ʻae konga siliva, mo e konga mā, pea tenau pehē, ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku kiate au ha potu ngāue fakataulaʻeiki, ke u kai ai ha konga mā.”
