1 Samuel 1
1 Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim, a Zuphite of the hill country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Toah, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशको सूपीहरूका रामतैमबाट आएका एक जना मानिस थिए । तिनी एफ्राइमी सूपका जनाति तोहूको पनाति एलीहूको नाति यरोहामका छोरा एल्काना थिए ।
2 And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of other Peninnah. And Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
तिनका दुई वटी पत्नीहरू थिए । पहिलोको नाउँ हन्नाह र दोस्रोको नाउँ पनिन्नाह थियो । पनिन्नाहका छोराछोरी थिए तर हन्नाहका थिएन ।
3 This man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests of the LORD, were there.
यिनी आफ्नो सहरबाट सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको निम्ति बलिदान चढाउन र आरधना गर्न हरेक वर्ष शीलोमा जन्थे । त्यहाँ एलीका दुई जना छोराहरू होप्नी र पीनहास परमप्रभुका पुजारीहरू थिए ।
4 When the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:
जब एल्कानाले हरेक वर्षझैं बलिदान गर्ने समय आयो, तिनले सदैव तिनकी पत्नी पनिन्नाह र तिनका सबै छोरा र छोरीलाई मासुको भागहरू दिन्थे ।
5 but to Hannah he gave a double portion; for he loved Hannah, but the LORD had shut up her womb.
तर तिनले हन्नाहलाई सदैव दोब्बर भाग दिन्थे, किनभने तिनले उनलाई माया गर्थे, यद्यपि परमप्रभुले उनको गर्भ बन्द गर्नुभएको थियो ।
6 Her rival taunted her severely, to irritate her, because the LORD had shut up her womb.
उनको सौताले उनलाई रिस उठाउनलाई उनलाई साह्रै चिढ्याउँथिन्, किनभने परमप्रभुले उनको गर्भ बन्द गर्नुभएको थियो ।
7 As he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she taunted her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.
त्यसैले वर्षै पिच्छे, उनी आफ्नो परिवारसँग परमप्रभुको भवनमा जाँदा उनको सौताले तिनलाई सदैव चिढ्याउँथिन् । यसकारण, उनी रुन्थिन् र केही पनि खाँदैनथिन् ।
8 Elkanah her husband said to her, "Hannah, why do you weep? Why do you not eat? Why is your heart grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?"
उनका पति एल्कानाले सदैव उनलाई भन्थे,”ए हन्नाह, तिमी किन रुन्छ्यौ? तिमी किन खाँदिनौ? तिम्रो हृदय किन यति धेरै निराश हुन्छ? के म तिम्रो निम्ति दस जना छोराभन्दा उत्तम छैन र?”
9 So Hannah rose after eating and drinking in Shiloh, and stood before the LORD. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the temple of the LORD.
यि अवसरमध्ये एकपल्ट तिनीहरूले शीलोमा खाने र पिउने काम सकेपछि हन्नाह उठिन् । यति बेला पुजारी एली परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको ढोकामा आफ्नो आसनमा बसिरहेका थिए ।
10 She was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD, and wept bitterly.
उनी अति नै व्याकुल भएकी थिइन् । उनले परमप्रभुसँग प्रार्थना गरिन् र धुरुधुरु रोइन् ।
11 She vowed a vow, and said, "LORD of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your handmaid, and remember me, and not forget your handmaid, but will give to your handmaid a son, then I will set him before you as a Nazirite until the day of his death. And he will not drink wine or strong drink, and no razor will come on his head."
उनले भाकल गरिन् र भनिन्, “हे सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु, तपाईंले आफ्नी दासीको वेदनालाई हेर्नुहुन्छ, मलाई याद गर्नुहुन्छ र आफ्नो दासीलाई बिर्सनुहुन्न, तर तपाईंको दासीलाई एउटा छोरा दिनुहुन्छ भने, उसको सम्पूर्ण जीवनभरि म उसलाई परमप्रभुको निम्ति दिनेछु र उसको शिरमा कुनै छुराले कदापि छुनेछैन ।”
12 It happened, as she multiplied prayers before the LORD, that Eli saw her mouth.
उनले परमप्रभुको सामु प्रार्थना गरिरहँदा एलीले तिनको मुखलाई हेरे ।
13 And she was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk.
हन्नाह आफ्नो हृदयमा बोलिन् । उनका ओठहरू चले, तर उनको सोर सुनिएन । यसकारण, उनी मद्यले मातेकी थिइन् भनी एलीले विचार गरे ।
14 So Eli said to her, "How long will you make yourself drunk? Put away your wine from you."
एलीले उनलाई भने, “तिमी कहिलेसम्म मद्यले मातिरहन्छ्यौ? आफ्नो मद्यको आदत छोडिदेऊ।”
15 And Hannah answered, "No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I poured out my soul before the LORD.
हन्नाहले जवाफ दिईन्, “होइन, मेरा मालिक, म दुःखी आत्मा भएको स्त्री हुँ । मैले न दाखमद्य न त कडा मद्य नै पिएकी छु, तर मैले परमप्रभुको सामु मेरो मनको दुःख खन्याइरहेकी छु ।
16 Do not count your handmaid as a worthless woman; for I have been speaking out of the abundance of my distress and my anguish."
हजूकी दासीलाई एउटी निर्लज्ज स्त्री भएकी विचार नगर्नुहोस् । ठुलो चिन्ता र धेरै अपमानले गर्दा म बोलिरहेकी छु ।”
17 Then Eli answered, "Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of him."
तब एलीले जवाफ दिए र भने, “शान्तिसँग जाऊ । इस्राएलका परमेश्वरसँग तिमीले गरेकी बिन्तीको जावफ उहाँले तिमीलाई देऊन् ।”
18 She said, "Let your handmaid find favor in your sight." So the woman went her way, and entered her quarters, and ate; and her facial expression wasn't sad any more.
उनले भनिन्, “तपाईंकी दासीलाई तपाईंको नजरमा कृपा मिलोस् ।” अनि ती स्त्री गईन् र खाइन् । उनको अनुहार फेरि कहिल्यै निराश भएन ।
19 They rose up in the morning early, and worshiped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.
तिनीहरू बिहान सबेरै उठे र परमप्रभुको आराधना गरे, अनि तिनीहरू फेरि रामामा भएको आफ्नो घरमा फर्के । आफ्नो पत्नी हन्नाहसँग एल्कनाले सहवास गरे र परमप्रभुले उनलाई याद गर्नुभयो ।
20 It happened, when the time had come, that Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she named him Samuel, saying, "Because I have asked him of the LORD."
जब समय आयो, तब हन्नाहले गर्भ धारण गरिन् र एउटा छोरा जन्माइन् । उनले उसको नाउँ शमूएल राखिन्, किनकि उनले भनिन्, “किनभने मैले यसलाई परमप्रभुसँग मागेकी हुँ।”
21 The man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and to redeem his vow and all the tithes of his land.
फेरि एकपल्ट, एल्काना र तिनका सबै घराना वर्षै पिच्छेको बलिदान परमप्रभुलाई चढाउन र आफ्नो भाकल पुरा गर्न गए ।
22 But Hannah did not go up; for she said to her husband, "Not until the child is weaned; then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and stay there forever."
तर हन्नाह गइनन् । उनले आफ्नो पतिलाई यसो भनेकी थिइन्, “बालकले दूध नछोडेसम्म म जानेछैनँ । त्यसपछि म उसलाई लानेछु, ताकि ऊ परमप्रभुको सामु देखा परोस् र सदासर्वदा त्यहीं बसोस् ।”
23 And Elkanah her husband said to her, "Do what seems good in your eyes. Wait until you have weaned him; only may the LORD establish what you have said." So the woman waited and nursed her son, until she weaned him.
उनका पति एल्कानाले उनलाई भने, “तिमीलाई जे असल लाग्छ सो गर । उसले दूध नछोडेसम्म पर्ख । परमप्रभुले आफ्नो वचन मात्र पुरा गर्नुभएको होस् ।” यसैले ती स्त्री बसिन् र उनको छोराले दूध नछोडेसम्म उसलाई दूध खुवाइन् ।
24 And she went up with him to Shiloh with a three-year old bull, and bread, and one ephah of flour, and a skin of wine, and brought him to the house of the LORD in Shiloh. And the child was with them. And they went before the LORD, and his father slaughtered the sacrifice, which he did annually to the LORD. And he brought the child,
जब उनले उसलाई दूध छोडाइन्, तब उनले तिन वर्षे साँढे, पाँच पाथी पिठो, एक मशक दाखमद्यको साथमा उसलाई आफूसँगै लिएर गइन्, अनि उसलाई शीलो भएकोमा परमप्रभुको भवनमा ल्याइन् । यति बेला त्यो बालक सानै थियो ।
25 and he slaughtered the bull. And Hannah, the mother of the child, brought him to Eli.
तिनीहरूले साँढेलाई मारे र बलकलाई एलीकहाँ ल्याए ।
26 She said, "Oh, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to the LORD.
उनले भनिन्, “हे मेरो मालिक, मेरो मालिक जीवित हुनुभएझैं, यहाँ तपाईंको छेउमा खडा भएर प्रार्थना गर्ने स्त्री म नै हुँ ।
27 For this child I prayed; and the LORD has given me my petition which I asked of him.
यही बलकको निम्ति मैले प्रार्थना गरें र मैले परमप्रभुमा गरेको बन्ती सुनेर उहाँले मलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो ।
28 Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD. As long as he lives he is lent to the LORD." He worshiped the LORD there.
मैले उसलाई परमप्रभुमा अर्पण गरेको छु, ऊ जीवित रहेसम्म उसलाई परमप्रभुमा दिइएको छ ।” तब तिनीहरूले त्यहाँ परमप्रभुको आराधना गरे ।
