< I Samuel 1 >

1 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.
Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim, a Zuphite of the hill-country of Ephraim, named Elkanah; he was the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite:
2 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.
And he had two wives, one named Hannah and the other Peninnah: and Peninnah was the mother of children, but Hannah had no children.
3 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.
Now this man went up from his town every year to give worship and to make offerings to the Lord of armies in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the Lord, were there.
4 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.
And when the day came for Elkanah to make his offering, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and daughters, their part of the feast:
5 Ngem kenni Ana, kankanayon a mamidua ti kaadu ti it-itedna, ta ay-ayatenna ni Ana, uray no sinerraan ni Yahweh ti aanakanna.
But to Hannah he gave one part, though Hannah was very dear to him, but the Lord had not let her have children.
6 Nakaro ti panangumsi kenkuana ti kasalisalna tapno pagpulkokenna isuna, gapu ta inserra ni Yahweh ti aanakanna.
And the other wife did everything possible to make her unhappy, because the Lord had not let her have children;
7 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.
And year by year, whenever she went up to the house of the Lord, she kept on attacking her, so that Hannah gave herself up to weeping and would take no food.
8 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?
Then her husband Elkanah said to her, Hannah, why are you weeping? and why are you taking no food? why is your heart troubled? am I not more to you than ten sons?
9 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.
So after they had taken food and wine in the guest room, Hannah got up. Now Eli the priest was seated by the pillars of the doorway of the Temple of the Lord.
10 Mariribukan unay ni Ana; nagkararag isuna kenni Yahweh ken nagsangit iti nasaem.
And with grief in her soul, weeping bitterly, she made her prayer to the Lord.
11 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.
And she made an oath, and said, O Lord of armies, if you will truly take note of the sorrow of your servant, not turning away from me but keeping me in mind, and will give me a man-child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and his hair will never be cut.
12 Bayat nga agkarkararag isuna iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, sipsiputan ni Eli ti ngiwatna.
Now while she was a long time in prayer before the Lord, Eli was watching her mouth.
13 Naimpusoan ti panagkararag ni Ana. Agkutkuti dagiti bibigna, ngem saan a mangngeg ti timekna. Impagarup ngarud ni Eli a nabartek isuna.
For Hannah's prayer came from her heart, and though her lips were moving she made no sound: so it seemed to Eli that she was overcome with wine.
14 Kinuna ni Eli kenkuana, “Kasano pay kapaut ti panagbarbartekmo? Isardengmon ti panagin-inommo.”
And Eli said to her, How long are you going to be the worse for drink? Put away the effects of your wine from you.
15 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.”
And Hannah, answering him, said, No, my lord, I am a woman whose spirit is broken with sorrow: I have not taken wine or strong drink, but I have been opening my heart before the Lord.
16 “Saanmo nga ibilang nga awan babainna a babai ti adipenmo; iyeb-ebkasko iti napalalo a pannakaibabain ken pannakarkaritko.”
Do not take your servant to be a good-for-nothing woman: for my words have come from my stored-up sorrow and pain.
17 Ket simmungbat ni Eli, kinunana, “Mapanka a sitatalna; patgan koma ti Dios ti Israel ti kiniddawmo kenkuana.”
Then Eli said to her, Go in peace: and may the God of Israel give you an answer to the prayer you have made to him.
18 Kinuna ni Ana, “Nasayaat koma ti panangipapanmo iti adipenmo.” Ket pimmanaw ti babai ket nangan; saanen a naliday ti rupana.
And she said, May your servant have grace in your eyes. So the woman went away, and took part in the feast, and her face was no longer sad.
19 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.
And early in the morning they got up, and after worshipping before the Lord they went back to Ramah, to their house: and Elkanah had connection with his wife; and the Lord kept her in mind.
20 Idi dimteng ti tiempo, nagsikog ni Ana ket nagpasngay iti maysa a lalaki. Pinanagananna iti Samuel, kunana “Gapu ta dinawatko isuna kenni Yahweh.”
Now the time came when Hannah, being with child, gave birth to a son; and she gave him the name Samuel, Because, she said, I made a prayer to the Lord for him.
21 Iti naminsan pay, simmang-at ni Elkana ken ti amin a pamiliana, tapno mangidatag iti tinawen a daton ken tapno tungpalenna ti sapatana.
And the man Elkanah with all his family went up to make the year's offering to the Lord, and to give effect to his oath.
22 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.”
But Hannah did not go, for she said to her husband, I will not go till the child has been taken from the breast, and then I will take him with me and put him before the Lord, where he may be for ever.
23 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.
And her husband Elkanah said to her, Do whatever seems right to you, but not till you have taken him from the breast; only may the Lord do as he has said. So the woman, waiting there, gave her son milk till he was old enough to be taken from the breast.
24 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.
Then when she had done so, she took him with her, with a three-year old ox and an ephah of meal and a skin full of wine, and took him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh: now the child was still very young.
25 Pinartida ti kalakian a baka, ket impanda ti ubing kenni Eli.
And when they had made an offering of the ox, they took the child to Eli.
26 Kinuna ni Ana, “O, apok! Agingga a sibibiagka, apok, siak ti babai a nagtakder idi iti abaymo nga agkarkararag kenni Yahweh.
And she said, O my lord, as your soul is living, my lord, I am that woman who was making a prayer to the Lord here by your side:
27 Ta daytoy nga ubing ket inkararagko ket inted ni Yahweh ti dinawatko kenkuana.
My prayer was for this child; and the Lord has given him to me in answer to my request:
28 Intedkon isuna kenni Yahweh; agingga a sibibiag isuna ket agpaayto kenni Yahweh.” Ket sadiay, nagdayaw kenni Yahweh ni Elkana ken ti pamiliana.
So I have given him to the Lord; for all his life he is the Lord's. Then he gave the Lord worship there.
