< 1 Samuel 1 >

1 There was a man named Elkanah who lived in Ramah [town] in the hilly area where [the tribe of] Ephraim lived. His father was Jeroham, his grandfather was Elihu, and his great-grandfather was Tohu. He belonged to the Zuph clan.
Adda maysa a lalaki iti Rama Zofim, iti katurturodan a pagilian ti Efraim; ti naganna ket Elkana a putot ni Jehoram, ni Jehoram ket putot ni Eliu, ni Eliu ket putot ni Tuho, ni Tuho ket putot ni Zup, ni Elkana ket maysa nga Efraimita.
2 He had two wives: Hannah and Peninnah. Peninnah had several children, but Hannah had no children.
Addaan isuna iti dua nga asawa, Ana ti nagan ti umuna, ken Fenina ti nagan ti maikadua. Adda annak ni Fenina, ngem awan ti anak ni Ana.
3 Once every year Elkanah went up [with his family] from Ramah to Shiloh [city]. He went there to worship Yahweh, [the commander] of the armies [of angels], and to offer sacrifices to him. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, [helped their father to do the work as] priests of Yahweh there.
Tinawen a mapan daytoy a lalaki idiay Silo a siudadna tapno agdayaw ken agidaton kenni Yahweh a mannakabalin amin. Adda sadiay dagiti dua a lallaki a putot ni Eli, da Ofni ken Finees, a papadi ni Yahweh.
4 Each time Elkanah offered sacrifices there, he gave some of the meat to Peninnah and some to each of her sons and daughters.
No kasta a dumteng ti aldaw iti tunggal tawen a panagidaton ni Elkana, kankanayon nga it-itedna kenni Fenina nga asawana ken kadagiti amin nga annakna a lallaki ken babbai dagiti paset ti karne.
5 But even though he loved Hannah very much, he gave her only one special amount of meat because Yahweh had not permitted her to give birth to any children.
Ngem kenni Ana, kankanayon a mamidua ti kaadu ti it-itedna, ta ay-ayatenna ni Ana, uray no sinerraan ni Yahweh ti aanakanna.
6 And his other wife, Peninnah, would ridicule Hannah to make her feel miserable, because Yahweh had not allowed her to bear children.
Nakaro ti panangumsi kenkuana ti kasalisalna tapno pagpulkokenna isuna, gapu ta inserra ni Yahweh ti aanakanna.
7 This happened every year. When they went up to the temple of Yahweh [at Shiloh], Peninnah ridiculed Hannah so much that Hannah cried and would not eat.
Isu nga iti tinawen, no kasta a mapan isuna iti balay ni Yahweh a kaduana ti pamiliana, kankanayon a karkariten isuna ni Fenina. Masansan ngarud nga agsangit isuna ken saan a mangmangan.
8 Then Elkanah would say to her, “Hannah, (why are you crying?/please quit crying!) [RHQ] (Why are you not eating?/Please eat something!) [RHQ] Why are you so upset/sad? You have me; is that not more important to you than if you had ten sons? (OR, I [love you] more than your sons [would love you], even if you had ten sons.)”
Kankanayon nga ibagbaga kenkuana ni Elkana nga asawana, “Ana, apay nga agsangitka? Apay a saanka a mangan? Apay nga agliddaang ti pusom? Saan kadi a nasaysayaatak kenka ngem kadagiti sangapulo nga annak?
9 One year, after they had finished eating and drinking at Shiloh, Hannah stood up [to pray]. Eli the priest was nearby, sitting on a chair by the doorway of the sacred tent of Yahweh.
Iti maysa kadagitoy a padaya, timmakder ni Ana kalpasan ti pannangan ken panag-iinomda idiay Silo. Ita, nakatugaw ni Eli a padi iti tugawna iti igid ti pagserkan ti balay ni Yahweh.
10 Hannah was very distressed, and she cried very sorrowfully as she prayed to Yahweh.
Mariribukan unay ni Ana; nagkararag isuna kenni Yahweh ken nagsangit iti nasaem.
11 She made a vow saying, “O Almighty Commander of the armies of angels, if you will look at me and see how miserable I am, and think about me and allow me to give birth to a son, then I will dedicate him to you [to serve you] for the rest of his life. And [to show that he is dedicated to you], (no one will ever [be allowed to] cut his hair/his hair will never be cut).”
Nagsapata isuna ket kinunana, “Yahweh a mannakabalin amin, no makitam la koma ti panagrigat ti adipenmo ken lagipennak, ken saanmo a lipaten ti adipenmo, ngem ipaayam ketdi koma ti adipenmo iti anak a lalaki, ngarud, itedkonto isuna kenni Yahweh iti unos ti panagbiagna, ket awanto ti kartib a mangsagid iti ulona.
12 As she was praying like that to Yahweh, Eli the priest saw Hannah’s lips [moving as she was praying].
Bayat nga agkarkararag isuna iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, sipsiputan ni Eli ti ngiwatna.
13 But Hannah was only praying silently; she was not making any sound. So Eli thought that she was drunk.
Naimpusoan ti panagkararag ni Ana. Agkutkuti dagiti bibigna, ngem saan a mangngeg ti timekna. Impagarup ngarud ni Eli a nabartek isuna.
14 He said to her, “How long will you continue to get drunk [RHQ]? (Throw away your wine/Quit drinking wine)!”
Kinuna ni Eli kenkuana, “Kasano pay kapaut ti panagbarbartekmo? Isardengmon ti panagin-inommo.”
15 Hannah replied, “Sir, I am not drunk! I have not been drinking wine or any other alcoholic drink. I feel very distressed and I have been telling Yahweh about how I feel.
Simmungbat ni Ana, “Saan, apok, maysaak a babai a naladingit unay ti espirituna. Saanak nga imminom iti arak wenno naingel a mainom, ngem ibagbagak iti sangoanan ni Yahweh dagiti nakaro a panagladingitko.”
16 Do not think that I am a worthless/wicked woman! I have been praying like this because I am very distressed [DOU].”
“Saanmo nga ibilang nga awan babainna a babai ti adipenmo; iyeb-ebkasko iti napalalo a pannakaibabain ken pannakarkaritko.”
17 Eli replied, “I wish/desire that things will go well for you. I desire that God, the one we Israeli people [worship], will give you what you requested from him.”
Ket simmungbat ni Eli, kinunana, “Mapanka a sitatalna; patgan koma ti Dios ti Israel ti kiniddawmo kenkuana.”
18 She replied, “I want you to think highly/well about me.” Then she returned [to her family] and after she ate something, her face no longer looked sad.
Kinuna ni Ana, “Nasayaat koma ti panangipapanmo iti adipenmo.” Ket pimmanaw ti babai ket nangan; saanen a naliday ti rupana.
19 Early the next morning, Elkanah and his family got up and worshiped Yahweh [again], and then they returned to their home at Ramah. Elkanah (slept with/had sex with) Hannah. Then Yahweh answered her prayer,
Nasapada a bimmangon iti bigat ket nagdayawda kenni Yahweh, ket kalpasanna, nagsublida manen iti balayda idiay Rama. Kinaidda ni Elkana ni Ana nga asawana, ket nalagip isuna ni Yahweh.
20 and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, [which sounds like the words in the Hebrew language that mean ‘heard by God’], because she said “Yahweh [heard me when] I requested from him [a son].”
Idi dimteng ti tiempo, nagsikog ni Ana ket nagpasngay iti maysa a lalaki. Pinanagananna iti Samuel, kunana “Gapu ta dinawatko isuna kenni Yahweh.”
21 The following year, Elkanah again went up [to Shiloh] with his family to make the kind of sacrifice he made each year, and also to give a special offering to God that he had promised [to give him previously].
Iti naminsan pay, simmang-at ni Elkana ken ti amin a pamiliana, tapno mangidatag iti tinawen a daton ken tapno tungpalenna ti sapatana.
22 But Hannah did not go [with them]. She said to her husband, “After I have weaned the baby, I will take him [to Shiloh and present him] to Yahweh, and he will stay there for the rest of his life.”
Ngem saan a napan ni Ana; kinunana iti asawana, “Saanak a mapan agingga a mapusot ti ubing, ket iyegkonto isuna, tapno agparang isuna iti sangoanan ni Yahweh ken agnaed sadiay iti agnanayon.”
23 Elkanah said, “Do what seems the best to you. Stay here until you have weaned him. What I desire is that Yahweh will [enable you to] do what you have promised.” So Hannah stayed at home and nursed her son until she weaned him.
Kinuna ni Elkana nga asawana kenkuana, “Aramidem ti ammon a nasayaat kenka. Urayem agingga a mapusotmo isuna; patalgedan koma ngarud ni Yahweh ti saona.” Nagbati ngarud ti babai ken inaywananna ti anakna agingga a naipusotna isuna.
24 After she weaned him, even though Samuel was very young, she took him to the temple/house of Yahweh at Shiloh. [To offer as a sacrifice], she took along a three-year-old bull, [a sack containing] (20 pounds/9 kg.) of flour, and a container of wine.
Idi naipusot ni Ana ti anakna, inkuyogna isuna, nangitugot pay iti maysa a kalakian a baka a tallo ti tawenna, maysa nga efa a taraon, ken maysa a pagkargaan a lalat a naglaon iti arak, ket impanna isuna iti balay ni Yahweh idiay Silo. Ita, ubing pay ti anakna.
25 After the priest had slaughtered the bull [and offered it to Yahweh on the altar], Hannah and Elkanah brought the boy to Eli.
Pinartida ti kalakian a baka, ket impanda ti ubing kenni Eli.
26 Then Hannah said to him, “Sir, (Do you remember me?/I solemnly affirm), I am the woman who prayed as I stood here beside you [several years ago].
Kinuna ni Ana, “O, apok! Agingga a sibibiagka, apok, siak ti babai a nagtakder idi iti abaymo nga agkarkararag kenni Yahweh.
27 I prayed that Yahweh would enable me to give birth to a child, and this is the child whom I requested Yahweh to give me.
Ta daytoy nga ubing ket inkararagko ket inted ni Yahweh ti dinawatko kenkuana.
28 So now I am presenting him to Yahweh. He will belong to Yahweh as long as he lives.” Then Elkanah [and his family] worshiped Yahweh there.
Intedkon isuna kenni Yahweh; agingga a sibibiag isuna ket agpaayto kenni Yahweh.” Ket sadiay, nagdayaw kenni Yahweh ni Elkana ken ti pamiliana.
