1 Samoela 2
1 Ary Hana nivavaka ka nanao hoe: Ny foko ravoravo amin’ i Jehovah, Ny tandroko voasandratra amin’ i Jehovah; ny vavako misokatra hamaly ny fahavaloko; fa mifaly amin’ ny famonjenao aho.
And Hannah prayed, and said, Mine heart reioyceth in the Lord, mine horne is exalted in the Lord: my mouth is enlarged ouer mine enemies, because I reioyce in thy saluation.
2 Tsy misy masìna tahaka an’ i Jehovah, fa tsy misy afa-tsy Hianao; ary tsy misy vatolampy tahaka an’ Andriamanitsika.
There is none holy as the Lord: yea, there is none besides thee, and there is no god like our God.
3 Aza dia mahery miteny avonavona; ary aoka tsy haloaky ny vavanareo ny fireharehana. Fa Jehovah no Andriamanitry ny fahalalana, ary Izy no mandanja ny asa.
Speake no more presumptuously: let not arrogancie come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him enterprises are established.
4 Tapaka ny tsipìkan’ ny olo-mahery, ary izay mila ho reraka dia sikinana hery.
The bow and the mightie men are broken, and the weake haue girded themselues with strength.
5 Mikarama mofo ny voky, ary mianina kosa ny noana; ny momba miteraka fito, ary mihamalemy kosa ny maro anaka.
They that were full, are hired foorth for bread, and the hungrie are no more hired, so that the barren hath borne seuen: and shee that had many children, is feeble.
6 Jehovah no mahafaty sy mahavelona; izy no mampidina ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita ary mampitsangana. (Sheol h7585)
The Lord killeth and maketh aliue: bringeth downe to the graue and raiseth vp. (Sheol h7585)
7 Jehovah no mampalahelo sy mampanan-karena; izy no mampietry sy mampisandratra.
The Lord maketh poore and maketh rich: bringeth lowe, and exalteth.
8 Izy no manangana ny malahelo ho afaka amin’ ny vovoka, ary manandratra ny mahantra hiala eo amin’ ny zezika, mba hampiara-mitoetra azy eo amin’ ny mpanapaka ka hampandova azy ny sezam-boninahitra; fa an’ i Jehovah ny andrin’ ny tany, ary izany no ametrahany izao tontolo izao.
He raiseth vp ye poore out of the dust, and lifteth vp the begger from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherite the seate of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lordes, and he hath set the world vpon them.
9 Ny tongotry ny olo-masiny dia tandremany, fa ny ratsy fanahy kosa hampangininy any amin’ ny maizina; fa tsy amin’ ny hery no handresen’ ny olona.
Hee will keepe the feete of his Saintes, and the wicked shall keepe silence in darkenes: for in his owne might shall no man be strong.
10 Ho torotoro izay miady amin’ i Jehovah; any an-danitra Izy no hampikotrokorana hamely azy. Jehovah hitsara ny vazan-tany, ary Izy hanome hery ny mpanjakany sy hanandratra ny tandroky ny voahosony.
The Lordes aduersaries shall be destroyed, and out of heauen shall he thunder vpon them: the Lord shall iudge the endes of the worlde, and shall giue power vnto his King, and exalt the horne of his Anoynted.
11 Ary Elkana nankany an-tranony tany Rama; fa ny zaza kosa nanao fanompoam-pivavahana tamin’ i Jehovah teo anatrehan’ i Ely mpisorona.
And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house, and the childe did minister vnto the Lord before Eli the Priest.
12 Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Ely dia tena ratsy fanahy, tsy nahalala an’ i Jehovah.
Now the sonnes of Eli were wicked men, and knewe not the Lord.
13 Ary izao no fanaon’ ny mpisorona tamin’ ny olona: Raha nisy olona namono zavatra hatao fanatitra, dia avy ny zatovon’ ny mpisorona nitondra fitrebika telo rantsana teny an-tànany, raha mbola nahandroina ny hena,
For the Priestes custome towarde the people was this: when any man offered sacrifice, the Priestes boy came, while the flesh was seething, and a fleshhooke with three teeth, in his hand,
14 dia natsindrony tao anatin’ ny fanendasana ny fitrebika, na tao anatin’ ny fahandroan-kena, na ny vilany, na ny vilanibe, ka izay rehetra azon’ ny fitrebika tao dia nalain’ ny mpisorona ho azy. Ary izany no fanaony tao Silo tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra izay tonga tao.
And thrust it into the kettle, or into the caldron, or into the panne, or into the potte: all that the fleshhooke brought vp, the Priest tooke for himselfe: thus they did vnto all the Israelites, that came thither to Shiloh.
15 Ary raha tsy mbola nodorany ho fofona ny sabora, dia avy ny zatovon’ ny mpisorona ka nanao tamin’ izay lehilahy namono zavatra hatao fanatitra hoe: Omeo hena hatsatsika ho an’ ny mpisorona; fa tsy haka hena masaka aminao izy, fa ny manta ihany.
Yea, before they burnt the fat, the priests boy came and saide to the man that offered, Giue me flesh to rost for the priest: for he wil not haue sodden flesh of thee, but rawe.
16 Ary raha nisy olona nanao taminy hoe: Hodorana aloha ny sabora, dia amin’ izay vao halainao izay sitraky ny fonao, dia novaliany hoe: Tsia; fa omeo ankehitriny izao ihany; fa raha tsy izany, dia halaiko an-keriny.
And if any man saide vnto him, Let them burne the fatte according to the custome, then take as much as thine heart desireth: then hee would answere, No, but thou shalt giue it nowe: and if thou wilt not, I will take it by force.
17 Ka dia lehibe indrindra ny helok’ ireo zatovo ireo teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, satria halan’ ny olona ny fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah.
Therefore the sinne of the yong men was very great before the Lord: for men abhorred the offering of the Lord.
18 Fa Samoela nanao fanompoam-pivavahana teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah raha mbola zaza, ary nisalotra efoda rongony fotsy izy.
Now Samuel being a yong childe ministred before the Lord, girded with a linen Ephod.
19 Ary nanaovan-dreniny akanjo kely izy, ka nentiny ho azy isan-taona isan-taona izany, raha niara-ran’ ny mpisorona avy amin’ ny olona. Koa raha niakatra tamin’ ny vadiny hanatitra ny fanatitra fanao isan-taona izy.
And his mother made him a litle coat, and brought it to him from yeere to yeere, when she came vp with her husband, to offer the yerely sacrifice.
20 Ary Ely nitso-drano an’ i Elkana mivady ka nanao hoe: Homen’ i Jehovah zaza amin’ ity vehivavy ity anie ianao ho solon’ ilay voatolotra ho an’ i Jehovah. Dia lasa nody izy mivady.
And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The Lord giue thee seede of this woman, for the petition that she asked of the Lord: and they departed vnto their place.
21 Ary Jehovah namangy an’ i Hana, ka dia nanan’ anaka koa izy ary niteraka lahy telo sy vavy roa. Ary Samoela zaza nitombo teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
And the Lord visited Hannah, so that she conceiued, and bare three sonnes, and two daughters. And the childe Samuel grewe before the Lord.
22 Ary efa antitra indrindra Ely, ary izy nandre izay rehetra nataon’ ny zananilahy tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra sy ny nandriany tamin’ ireo vehivavy izay nanompo teo amin’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay fihaonana.
So Eli was very olde, and heard all that his sonnes did vnto all Israel, and howe they laye with the women that assembled at the doore of the tabernacle of the Congregation.
23 Dia hoy izy taminy: Nahoana ianareo no manao izany zavatra izany? fa reko amin’ izao olona rehetra izao ny ratsy ataonareo.
And hee saide vnto them, Why doe ye such things? for of all this people I heare euill reportes of you.
24 Tsia anaka, fa tsy tsara ny teny reko; fa mampanota ny olon’ i Jehovah ianareo.
Do no more, my sonnes, for it is no good report that I heare, which is, that ye make the Lords people to trespasse.
25 Raha misy olona manota amin’ olona, dia ny mpitsara no hitsara azy; fa raha misy manota amin’ i Jehovah kosa, iza no hifona ho azy? Nefa tsy nihaino ny tenin-drainy izy ireo, satria sitrak’ i Jehovah ny hahafaty azy.
If one man sinne against another, the Iudge shall iudge it: but if a man sinne against the Lord, who will pleade for him? Notwithstanding they obeyed not the voyce of their father, because the Lord would slay them.
26 Ary Samoela zaza nitombo, sady tian’ i Jehovah sy ny olona koa izy.
(Nowe the childe Samuel profited and grewe, and was in fauour both with the Lord and also with men)
27 Ary nisy lehilahin’ Andriamanitra nankany amin’ i Ely ka nanao taminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Tsy efa niseho tokoa tamin’ ny ankohonan-drainao va Aho, raha mbola tany Egypta tao an-tranon’ i Farao izy?
And there came a man of God vnto Eli, and said vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Did not I plainely appeare vnto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaohs house?
28 Eny, nofidiko tamin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely rehetra ho mpisoroko izy mba hanatitra fanatitra eo ambonin’ ny alitarako sy handoro ditin-kazo manitra ary hisalotra efoda eo anatrehako, ary nomeko ho an’ ny tarana-drainao ny fanatitra rehetra ataon’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely amin’ ny afo.
And I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my Priest, to offer vpon mine altar, and to burne incense, and to weare an Ephod before me, and I gaue vnto the house of thy father all the offrings made by fire of the children of Israel.
29 Nahoana no hitsahinareo ny fanatitra alatsa-drà sy ny fanatitra hohanina izay aterina ho Ahy, dia ilay nasaiko hatao ao amin’ ny fonenako, ka ny zanakao no omenao voninahitra mihoatra noho Izaho, mba hanatavy anareo amin’ izay tsara indrindra amin’ ny fanatitra rehetra aterin’ ny Isiraely oloko?
Wherefore haue you kicked against my sacrifice and mine offering, which I commanded in my Tabernacle, and honourest thy children aboue mee, to make your selues fatte of the first fruites of all the offerings of Israel my people?
30 Koa izany no anaovan’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, hoe: Efa voalazako tokoa fa ny taranakao sy ny tarana-drainao no handeha eo anatrehako mandrakizay; fa ankehitriny kosa, hoy Jehovah, sanatria Ahy izany; fa izay manome voninahitra Ahy no homeko voninahitra, ary izay manamavo Ahy no ho afa-baraka.
Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I saide, that thine house and the house of thy father should walke before mee for euer: but nowe the Lord saith, It shall not be so: for them that honour me, I will honour, and they that despise me, shall be despised.
31 Indro, avy ny andro izay hanapahako ny sandrinao sy ny sandrin’ ny tarana-drainao, ka tsy hisy lehilahy ho tratrantitra amin’ ny taranakao.
Beholde, the dayes come, that I will cut off thine arme, and the arme of thy fathers house, that there shall not be an olde man in thine house.
32 Ary hahita ny manjo ny fonenako ianao na inona na inona soa omena ho an’ ny Isiraely, ka tsy hisy lehilahy ho tratrantitra amin’ ny taranakao mandrakizay.
And thou shalt see thine enemie in the habitation of the Lord in all thinges wherewith God shall blesse Israel, and there shall not be an olde man in thine house for euer.
33 Nefa tsy dia hofongorako avokoa tsy ho eo anilan’ ny alitarako izy, mba hahapahina ny masonao sy hampalahelo ny fonao; ary ny taranakao rehetra dia ho faty raha vao herotrerony.
Neuerthelesse, I will not destroy euery one of thine from mine altar, to make thine eyes to faile, and to make thine heart sorowfull: and all ye multitude of thine house shall die when they be men.
34 Ary izao no ho famantarana ho anao, izay hanjo ny zanakao roa lahy, dia Hofinia sy Finehasa: ho indray andro maty izy mirahalahy.
And this shalbe a signe vnto thee, that shall come vpon thy two sonnes Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die both.
35 Ary Izaho hanangana mpisorona mahatoky ho Ahy, izay hanao araka ny ato am-poko sy ato an-tsaiko; ary Izaho hampaharitra ny taranany, ka handeha eo anatrehan’ ny voahosotro mandrakizay izy.
And I will stirre me vp a faithfull Priest, that shall do according to mine heart and according to my minde: and I wil build him a sure house, and he shall walke before mine Anointed for euer.
36 Ary ho avy izay sisa rehetra amin’ ny taranakao ka hiankohoka eo anatrehany hangataka vola kely sy mofo iray ka hanao hoe: Masìna ianao, mba tendreo ho isan’ ny mpisorona aho, mba hahazoako sombi-mofo hohanina.
And all that are left in thine house, shall come and bowe downe to him for a piece of siluer and a morsell of bread, and shall say, Appoint me, I pray thee, to one of the priestes offices, that I may eate a morsell of bread.
