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.
Ephraim tlang kah ka om Ramathaim Zophim ah hlang pakhat om. A ming tah, Elihu capa Jeroham kah a ca Elkanah ni. Elihu tah Ephraim Zuph capa Tohu kah a ca ni.
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.
Anih te yuu panit tih a yuu cuek te Hannah, a pabae tah Peninnah a ming nah. Penninah te camoe om tih Hannah tah camoe om pawh.
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.
Tekah hlang tah thothueng ham neh Caempuei BOEIPA nawn hamla hnin bal hnin bal amah kho lamloh Shiloh la cet. Teah te BOEIPA khosoih Eli ca rhoi Hophni neh Phinekha khaw om.
4 When the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:
A tue a pha tih Elkanah loh a nawn vaengah tah maehvae te a yuu Peninnah neh a capa rhoek khaw a canu rhoek khaw boeih a paek.
5 but to Hannah he gave a double portion; for he loved Hannah, but the LORD had shut up her womb.
BOEIPA loh a bung piim sak cakhaw Hannah tah a lungnah dongah maehvae a paek vaengah Hannah ham tah pakhat neh a rhaep pah thil.
6 Her rival taunted her severely, to irritate her, because the LORD had shut up her womb.
BOEIPA loh Hannah bung a piim sak tih a caeng dongah Hannah tah konoinah neh, citcai neh hue a sak.
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.
Kum khat phoeiah kum khat BOEIPA im a paan vaengah khaw hue a sak. Te dongah rhap tih buh ca pawh.
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?"
Te dongah anih te a va Elkanah loh, “Hannah balae tih na rhah, balae tih buh na caak pawh? Balae tih na thinko a phoena? Ca tongpa parha lakah khaw nang taengah ka then moenih a?” a ti nah.
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.
Te daengah Shiloh kah Hannah loh caak ok ham thoo. Te vaengah khosoih Eli tah BOEIPA bawkim rhungsut taengkah ngolkhoel dongah ngol.
10 She was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD, and wept bitterly.
Hannah tah a hinglu khahing tih a rhah doe a rhah doela BOEIPA taengah thangthui.
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."
Te vaengah olcaeng neh a caeng tih, “Caempuei BOEIPA, na salnu kah phacipphabaem he han so rhoela so lah. Kai he m'poek lamtah na salnu he hnilh boeh. Tedae hlang kah tiingan te na salnu ham m'pae lamtah a hing tue boeih te BOEIPA taengla kam pae eh. A lu dongah thiha loh ben boel saeh,” a ti nah.
12 It happened, as she multiplied prayers before the LORD, that Eli saw her mouth.
BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thangthui te a koe coeng dongah Eli loh a ka te a sawt pah.
13 And she was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk.
Hannah te a lungbuei khuiah cal tih a hmui ni dawk a tat coeng. Tedae a ol a yaak pawt dongah Eli loh anih te yurhui la a poek.
14 So Eli said to her, "How long will you make yourself drunk? Put away your wine from you."
Te dongah anih te Eli loh, “Me hil nim na rhuihmil ve, namah te na misur dong lamkah loh cue uh saw,” a ti nah.
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.
Hannah loh a doo tih, “Moenih, ka boeipa, Kai huta he ka mueihla mangkhak sut tih misur khaw yu khaw ka ok moenih. Tedae ka hinglu he BOEIPA mikhmuh ah ka kingling coeng.
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."
Ka kohuet cungkuem neh tahae ah ka konoi nen ni ka thangthui. Na sal nu kah a muen he na kodang ah dueh boel mai,” a ti nah.
17 Then Eli answered, "Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of him."
Eli loha doo tih, “Ngaimong la cet lamtah amah taengah na bih na huithuinah te Israel Pathen loh m'pae saeh,” a ti nah.
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.
Te dongah, “Na salnu he na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen khaw dang van saeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah huta te amah caeh long ah cet tih a caak. Te lamkah long tah Hannah kah maelhmai khaw pumphoe voel pawh.
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.
Mincang ah thoo uh tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah tho a thueng uh. Te phoeiah bal uh tih Ramah kah a im te a paan uh. Te vaengah Elkanah loh a yuu Hannah te a ming hatah Hannah te BOEIPA loh a poek.
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."
Khohnin a thoknah a pha vaengah Hannah te vawn tih ca a cun. Camoe he, “BOEIPA taengah ka bih,” a ti dongah a ming te Samuel a sak.
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.
Elkanah loh BOEIPA taengah khoning hmueih neh a olcaeng nawn ham te a cako ah boeih cet uh.
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."
Tedae Hannah tah a caeh kolla a va taengah, “Camoe suk a kan vaengah ka khuen bitni. Te vaengah BOEIPA hmai ah phoe vetih a kum a hal pahoi om bitni,” a ti nah.
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.
Te dongah anih te a va Elkanah loh, “Na mikhmuh ah a then la saii, anih te suk na kan sak duela om mai ngawn, a ol te BOEIPA loh thoh nawn saeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah a yuu te om tih a capa loh a suk a kan duela a khut.
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,
Camoe te suk a kan vanneh vaito kum thum, vaidam te cangnoek pakhat, misur te tuitang pakhat a khuen tih Shiloh kah BOEIPA im a paan puei. Te vaengah a capa te camoe pueng.
25 and he slaughtered the bull. And Hannah, the mother of the child, brought him to Eli.
Vaito te a ngawn uh tih camoe te Eli taengla a thak uh.
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.
Te phoeiah Hannah loh, “Aw ka Boeipa, Ka boeipa namah kah hingnah hinglu rhangneh kai tah BOEIPA taengah thangthui ham heah he namah taengah aka pai huta ni.
27 For this child I prayed; and the LORD has given me my petition which I asked of him.
Camoe ham he ka thangthui tih amah taeng lamkah ka bih vanbangla ka huithuinah te ka taengah BOEIPA loh m'paek coeng.
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.
Te dongah anih he BOEIPA ham ni ka bih tih anih a tue khohnin aka om boeih khaw BOEIPA ham ni ka bih coeng,” a ti nah tih BOEIPA taengah pahoi bakop.
