I Samuel 1

Ary nisy lehilahy Efraimita anankiray tany Ramataima-zofima any amin'ny tany havoan'i Efraima, Elkana no anarany zanak'i Jerohama, zanak'i Eliho, zanak'i Toho, zanak'i Zofa.

Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim–zophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite:

Ary namporafy izy, Hana no anaran'ny vadiny anankiray, ary Penina no anaran'ny anankiray; ary Penina nanan-janaka, fa Hana kosa tsy mba nanana.

And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.

Ary ralehilahy niakatra isan-taona niala tamin'ny tanànany hivavaka sy hamono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, tao Silo. Ary tao izy mirahalahy, zanak'i Ely, dia Hofinia sy Finehasa, mpisoron'i Jehovah.

And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, were there.

Ary tamin'ny andro namonoan'i Elkana zavatra hatao fanatitra dia samy nomeny anjara iray avy Penina vadiny sy ny zananilahy ary ny zananivavy rehetra.

And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:

Fa Hana kosa nomeny anjaran-droa, satria izy no tiany, nefa nataon'i Jehovah momba.

But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb.

Ary ny rafiny dia nanorisory azy mba hampalahelo azy mafy noho ny nanaovan'i Jehovah azy momba.

And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb.

Ary izany no fanaon'i Elkana isan-taona, raha niakatra ho any an-tranon'i Jehovah Hana, ary izany koa no nanorisoren'ny rafiny azy, koa nitomany izy sady tsy nety nihinan-kanina.

And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.

Fa Elkana vadiny nanao taminy hoe: Ry Hana, nahoana no mitomany ianao? ary nahoana no tsy mety mihinan-kanina ianao? ary nahoana no malahelo fo ianao? Tsy tsara lavitra aminao mihoatra noho ny zanaka folo mirahalahy va aho?

Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sons?

Ary rehefa nihinana sy nisotro tao Silo izy, dia nitsangana Hana. Ary Ely mpisorona nipetraka tamin'ny sezany teo anilan'ny tolam-baravaran'ny tempolin'i Jehovah.

So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD.

Ary Hana dia nalahelo fanahy indrindra, ka nivavaka tamin'i Jehovah izy sady nitomany dia nitomany.

And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore.

Ary nivoady izy ka nanao hoe: Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, raha mba hitsinjo tokoa ny alahelon'ny ankizivavinao Hianao ka hahatsiaro ahy ary tsy hanadino ny ankizivavinao, fa hanome ahy zazalahy, dia homeko ho an'i Jehovah kosa izy amin'ny andro rehetra hiainany, ka tsy hokasihin-kareza ny lohany.

And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.

Ary raha mbola naharitra nivavaka teo anatrehan'i Jehovah izy, dia nodinihin'i Ely ny vavany.

And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli marked her mouth.

Fa niteny anakampo Hana, ka ny molony ihany no nihetsiketsika, fa ny feony tsy re akory; ka dia nataon'i Ely fa mamo izy.

Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.

Dia hoy Ely taminy: Mandrapahoviana no ho mamo ianao? Esory aminao ny divainao.

And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.

Dia namaly Hana ka nanao hoe: Tsia, tompoko; vehivavy malahelo fanahy aho, fa tsy nisotro divay na toaka tsy akory, fa mamoaka ny ato am-poko eto anatrehan'i Jehovah aho.

And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD.

Aza mba atao ho vehivavy tena ratsy fanahy ny ankizivavinao; fa ny haben'ny fahoriako sy ny alaheloko no nitenenako mandraka ankehitriny.

Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.

Dia namaly Ely ka nanao hoe: Mandehana soa aman-tsara; ary homen'Andriamanitry ny Isiraely anao anie izay nangatahinao taminy.

Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him.

Ary hoy izy: Aoka hahita fitia eo imasonao ny ankizivavinao. Dia lasa nandeha ravehivavy, ary nihinana izy ka tsy nalahelo tarehy intsony.

And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad.

Ary nifoha maraina koa izy ireo ka nivavaka teo anatrehan'i Jehovah, dia lasa nody ka tonga tao an-tranony tany Rama; ary Elkana nahalala an'i Hana vadiny, ary Jehovah nahatsiaro azy.

And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.

Ary tamin'ny fahatanterahan'ny andro dia nanan'anaka Hana ka nitera-dahy, ary ny anarany nataony hoe Samoela, fa hoy izy: Tamin'i Jehovah no nangatahako azy.

Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the LORD.

Ary ralehilahy Elkana sy ny ankohonany rehetra niakatra hamono zavatra mba hanaterany ny fanatitra fanao isan-taona ho an'i Jehovah sy ny fanalam-boadiny.

And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer unto the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.

Fa Hana kosa tsy mba niakatra; fa hoy izy tamin'ny vadiny: Aoka aloha mandra-panoty ny zaza, fa amin'izay aho vao hitondra azy hiseho eo anatrehan'i Jehovah, ka hitoetra ao mandrakizay izy.

But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, I will not go up until the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide for ever.

Ary hoy Elkana vadiny taminy: Ataovy ary izay tianao; mitoera ihany mandra-panotinao azy; ary hefain'i Jehovah anie ny teniny. Dia nitoetra ravehivavy ka nampinono ny zanany mandra-panotiny azy.

And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only the LORD establish his word. So the woman abode, and gave her son suck until she weaned him.

Ary nony efa maoty ny zaza, vao nentiny niakatra niaraka taminy izy mbamin'ny vantotr'ombilahy telo sy koba iray efaha ary divay iray tavoara, ka nentiny ho ao an-tranon'i Jehovah tao Silo izy; ary mbola kely ny zaza.

And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the LORD in Shiloh: and the child was young.

Dia novonoiny ny vantotr'ombilahy iray, ary nentiny ho ao amin'i Ely ny zaza.

And they slew a bullock, and brought the child to Eli.

Ary hoy Hana: Tompoko ô, raha velona koa ny ainao, tompoko, izaho ilay vehivavy nitsangana teto anilanao ka nivavaka tamin'i Jehovah.

And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD.

Ny hahazoako ity zazalahy ity no nivavahako; dia nomen'i Jehovah ahy izay nangatahiko taminy.

For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him:

Koa atolotro ho an'i Jehovah kosa izy: eny, amin'ny andro rehetra hiainany dia voatolotra ho an'i Jehovah izy. Dia nivavaka tamin'i Jehovah izy.

Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the LORD. And he worshipped the LORD there.
