< 1 Samuel 2 >

1 And Hannah prayed, and said: My heart exulteth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.
Hannah el pre ac fahk: “LEUM GOD El nwakla insiuk ke engan; Nga arulana insewowo ke ma El orala. Nga isrun mwet lokoalok luk; Yohk engan luk ke sripen kasru lun God nu sik!
2 There is none holy as the LORD; for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.
Wangin sie su mutal oana LEUM GOD; Wangin sie oana El, Wangin sie mwet lango oana God lasr.
3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
Nikmet sifil kaskas filang; Misla liki kaskas fulat lom. Tuh LEUM GOD El sie God su etu ma nukewa, Ac El nununku orekma nukewa lun mwet uh.
4 The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
Mwe pisr nutin mwet mweun ku, kaptelik, A mwet munas kapkapak ku lalos.
5 They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry have ceased: yea, the barren hath borne seven; and she that hath many children languisheth.
Elos su kihp meet, Elos sukok orekma in moli ma nalos, A elos su masrinsral meet, elos tia sifil masrinsral. El su talap el oswela tulik itkosr, A el su pus tulik natu meet, tok wanginla tulik natul.
6 The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up. (Sheol h7585)
LEUM GOD El uniya ac El sifil akmoulyauk; El supwala mwet nu infulan misa, Ac El sifilpa folokunulosyak. (Sheol h7585)
7 The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, he also lifteth up.
LEUM GOD El oru tuh kutu mwet uh sukasrup ac kutu kasrup. El akpusiselye kutu ac akfulatye kutu.
8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, he lifteth up the needy from the dunghill, to make them sit with princes, and inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’S, and he hath set the world upon them.
El srukak mwet sukasrup liki kutkut, Ac El tulokunak mwet enenu liki nien sisi kutkut. El oru tuh elos in sie sin sie yurin mwet leum, Ac muta yorolos ke nien muta fulat. Pwelung lun faclu ma lun LEUM GOD, Ac El musaeak faclu fac.
9 He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
“El karingin moul lun mwet oaru lal, A mwet koluk elos tuhlac in lohsr uh. Sie mwet el tia ku in kutangla ke ku lal sifacna.
10 They that strive with the LORD shall be broken to pieces; against them shall he thunder in heaven: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
Mwet lokoalok lun LEUM GOD fah kunausyukla; El ac fah lainulos ke pulahl inkusrao me. LEUM GOD El ac fah nununku faclu nufon. El ac fah sang ku nu sin tokosra lal. El ac fah sang kutangla nu sin tokosra se su El sulela.”
11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the LORD before Eli the priest.
Na Elkanah el folokla nu Ramah, a tulik Samuel el mutana in Shiloh ac kulansap nu sin LEUM GOD ye koko lal mwet tol Eli.
12 Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.
Wen natul Eli elos elah koluk. Elos tia akilen LEUM GOD
13 And the custom of the priests with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest’s servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand;
ac elos tia pac akilen oakwuk lun mwet tol ke ma fal elos in oru nu sin mwet uh. Pa inge ouiya ma elos oru nu sin mwet ma tuku in orek kisa. Pacl ma sie mwet el orek kisa, na mwet kulansap lun mwet tol inge ac tuku, us fork ma oasr wihs tolkwe kac. Ke pacl ma ikwa uh srakna poel,
14 and he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took therewith. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither.
el ac isongya fork uh nu in tup uh, ac kutena ikwa ma sremla ke fork sac, pa inge ma nun mwet tol uh. Wen luo inge oru ouinge nu sin mwet Israel nukewa ma tuku in orek kisa.
15 Yea, before they burnt the fat, the priest’s servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw.
Oayapa meet liki na kiris uh itukla liki ikwa uh in firriyukyak, mwet kulansap lun mwet tol uh ac tuku ac fahk nu sin mwet orek kisa uh, “Ase kutu ikwa an nu sin mwet tol elan sifacna munan. El tia enenu ma poelyak. El lungse in takmwek na.”
16 And if the man said unto him, They will surely burn the fat presently, and then take as much as thy soul desireth; then he would say, Nay, but thou shalt give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force.
Ac mwet orek kisa sac fin fahk, “Lela kut in fahsr fal nu ke ma oakwuk, kut in esukak kiris uh meet tufah kom eis enenu lom tok,” na mwet kulansap lun mwet tol el ac fahk, “Mo! Ase nu sik ingena! Kom fin tia, nga ac fah eis ke ku!”
17 And the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.
Ma koluk lun mwet fusr luo inge arulana koluk ye mutun LEUM GOD, mweyen elos oru mwe kisa nu sin LEUM GOD oana ma pilasr.
18 But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.
In pacl se inge Samuel el oru na orekma in kulansap lal nu sin LEUM GOD, ac el nukum sie nuknuk in mwet tol orekla ke nuknuk linen.
19 Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
In yac nukewa nina kial ac oru sie nuknuk srisrik lal Samuel, ac usla nu yorol ke el ac wi mukul tumal som in orek kisa ke yac sac.
20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which was lent to the LORD. And they went unto their own home.
Na Eli el ac akinsewowoyal Elkanah ac mutan kial ac fahk, “Lela LEUM GOD Elan asot pac sie tulik nu sin mutan se kiom an, in aol tulik se komtal kisakunang nu sel inge.” Tukun ma inge, eltal ac folok nu yen seltal.
21 And the LORD visited Hannah, and she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.
LEUM GOD El akinsewowoyal Hannah ac sang pac tulik mukul tolu, ac tulik mutan luo natul. Ac tulik Samuel el kapak ac kulansap nu sin LEUM GOD.
22 Now Eli was very old; and he heard all that his sons did unto all Israel, and how that they lay with the women that did service at the door of the tent of meeting.
In pacl se inge Eli el arulana matu, ac el lohng na ma wen luo natul ah oru nu sin mwet Israel, oayapa lah eltal motul yurin mutan su orekma ke nien utyak nu in Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD.
23 And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings from all this people.
Na Eli el fahk nu sin wen luo natul, “Efu ku komtal oru ma koluk inge? Mwet puspis kaskaskin nga lohng.
24 Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD’S people to transgress.
Wen nutik, nimet sifil oru ouingan! Arulana koluk ma mwet lun LEUM GOD elos fahk keimtal uh!
25 If one man sin against another, God shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them.
Sie mwet fin orekma koluk lain sie mwet, God El ku in kasrel. A su ku in kasru sie mwet el fin orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD?” Tusruktu wen luo inge tiana porongo pusren papa tumaltal, mweyen LEUM GOD El sulela tari in oneltal uh.
26 And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the LORD, and also with men.
Tulik Samuel el kapkapak ac ohi ye mutun LEUM GOD ac mwet uh.
27 And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I reveal myself unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt [in bondage] to Pharaoh’s house?
Sie mwet palu tuku nu yorol Eli ac fahkak kas inge sin LEUM GOD, “Ke pacl se Aaron, papa matu tomom, ac sou lal elos tuh mwet kohs ye tokosra Egypt, nga tuh sifacna fahkyuyak nu sel Aaron.
28 and did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up unto mine altar to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings of the children of Israel made by fire?
Liki sruf nukewa lun Israel, nga sulela sou lal tuh in mwet tol luk, in kulansap ke mwe loang luk, in oru mwe kisa firir, ac nokomang nuknuk in ephod lun mwet tol in suk ma lungse luk. Ac nga oakiya tuh elos in ku in eis sie ip ke mwe kisa firir fin loang uh.
29 Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in [my] habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?
Na efu kowos ku ngetnget in rapkui mwe kisa ac mwe sang ma nga sap mwet luk in oru nu sik? Eli, efu ku kom akfulatye wen nutum inge yohk likiyu, ke kom lela eltal in akfatyeltal ke ip wowo ma mwet uh kisakin nu sik uh?
30 Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
Nga LEUM GOD lun Israel, nga tuh wulela meet mu sruf lom ac sou lom pa ac orekma in mwet tol nu sik nwe tok. Tusruktu, nga fahk inge lah ac fah tia sifil ouinge! Nga fah akfulatyalos su akfulatyeyu, ac pilesralos su pilesreyu.
31 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father’s house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house.
Lohng akwoya — ac tia paht nga ac fah uniya mukul fusr nukewa in sruf lom ac sou lom, tuh in wangin mukul fusr in sou lom sun matwa matu.
32 And thou shalt behold the affliction of [my] habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever.
Kom ac fah pulakin ongoiya ac inse koluk ke kom ac liye ma nga ac fah oru in akinsewowoye mwet Israel saya, a funu mwet in sou lom, wangin sie selos ac fah moul sun matwa.
33 And the man of thine, [whom] I shall not cut off from mine altar, [shall be] to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age.
Tusruktu, nga ac fah filiya sie mwet sin fwil nutum, ac el fah kulansap nu sik ke ip lun mwet tol. Tusruk ac fah kunla mutal, ac wanginla finsrak yorol, ac fwil nutum nukewa saya ac fah misa ke misa keok.
34 And this shall be the sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.
Ke wen luo nutum inge, Hophni ac Phinehas, eltal ac tukeni misa ke len sefanna, ma se inge fah akkalemye nu sum lah ma nukewa nga fahk inge ac akpwayeyuk.
35 And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever.
Nga ac fah sulela sie mwet tol su ac fah pwaye nu sik, ac oru ma nukewa ma nga lungse. Nga fah sang fita lal, su ac fah kulansap nu sik in pacl nukewa ye mutun tokosra su nga sulela.
36 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thine house shall come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests’ offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread.
Kutena sin fita lom ku fwil nutum su moul na, elos ac fah som nu yurin mwet tol sac ac ngusr mani ac mwe mongo, ac elos ac fah kwafe sel elos in kasru mwet tol, elos in mau konauk mwe mongo nalos.”
