¹And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.

¹[Fisaorana nataon'i Hana] 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.

²There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.

²Tsy misy masina tahaka an'i Jehovah, fa tsy misy afa-tsy Hianao; ary tsy misy vatolampy tahaka an'Andriamanitsika .

³Talk 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.

³Aza dia mahery miteny avonavona; ary aoka tsy haloaky ny vavanareo ny fireharehana. Fa Jehovah no Andriamanitry ny fahalalana, ary Izy no mandanja ny asa.

⁴The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.

⁴Tapaka ny tsipìkan'ny olo-mahery, ary izay mila ho reraka dia sikinana hery.

⁵They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.

⁵Mikarama mofo ny voky, ary mianina kosa ny noana; ny momba miteraka fito, ary mihamalemy kosa ny maro anaka.

⁶The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.

⁶Jehovah no mahafaty sy mahavelona; izy no mampidina ho any amin'ny fiainan-tsi-hita ary mampitsangana.[Heb. Sheola]

⁷The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.

⁷Jehovah no mampalahelo sy mampanan-karena; izy no mampietry sy mampisandratra.

⁸He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and he hath set the world upon them.

⁸Izy 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.

⁹He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.

⁹Ny 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.[Na: hangina]

¹⁰The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.

¹⁰Ho 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.

¹¹And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the LORD before Eli the priest.

¹¹[Ny nanompoan'i Samoela teo anatrehan'i Ely, ary ny ratsy nataon'ny zanakalahin'i Ely, sy ny nampilazan'Andriamanitra ny loza hanjo azy] Ary Elkana nankany an-tranony tany Rama; fa ny zaza kosa nanao fanompoam-pivavahana tamin'i Jehovah teo anatrehan'i Ely mpisorona.

¹²Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.

¹²Ary ny zanakalahin'i Ely dia tena ratsy fanahy, tsy nahalala an'i Jehovah.

¹³And the priest's custom 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;

¹³Ary 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,[Na: tsy nahalala an'i Jehovah, na ny tokony ho anjaran'ny mpisorona avy amin'ny olona. Koa raha]

¹⁴And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither.

¹⁴dia 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.

¹⁵Also 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.

¹⁵Ary 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.

¹⁶And if any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, Nay; but thou shalt give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force.

¹⁶Ary 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.

¹⁷Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.

¹⁷Ka dia lehibe indrindra ny helok'ireo zatovo ireo teo anatrehan'i Jehovah, satria halan'ny olona ny fanatitra ho an'i Jehovah.

¹⁸But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.

¹⁸Fa Samoela nanao fanompoam-pivavahana teo anatrehan'i Jehovah raha mbola zaza, ary nisalotra efoda rongony fotsy izy.

¹⁹Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.

¹⁹Ary 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.

²⁰And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went unto their own home.

²⁰Ary 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.

²¹And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.

²¹Ary 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.

²²Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

²²Ary 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.

²³And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.

²³Dia hoy izy taminy: Nahoana ianareo no manao izany zavatra izany? fa reko amin'izao olona rehetra izao ny ratsy ataonareo.

²⁴Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD's people to transgress.

²⁴Tsia anaka, fa tsy tsara ny teny reko; fa mampanota ny olon'i Jehovah ianareo.

²⁵If one man sin against another, the judge 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.

²⁵Raha 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.[Heb. Andriamanitra]

²⁶And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favor both with the LORD, and also with men.

²⁶Ary Samoela zaza nitombo, sady tian'i Jehovah sy ny olona koa izy.

²⁷And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?

²⁷Ary 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?

²⁸And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?

²⁸Eny, 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.

²⁹Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honorest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?

²⁹Nahoana 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?

³⁰Wherefore the LORD 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 honor me I will honor, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

³⁰Koa 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.

³¹Behold, 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.

³¹Indro, avy ny andro izay hanapahako ny sandrinao sy ny sandrin'ny tarana-drainao, ka tsy hisy lehilahy ho tratrantitra amin'ny taranakao.

³²And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever.

³²Ary 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.[Na: fahavalo eo amin']

³³And 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.

³³Nefa 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.[Na: Ary ny lehilahy amin'ny taranakao izay tsy hofongorako tsy ho eo anilan'ny alitarako dia hahapahina ny masonao sy hampalahelo ny fonao]

³⁴And this shall be a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.

³⁴Ary izao no ho famantarana ho anao, izay hanjo ny zanakao roa lahy, dia Hofinia sy Finehasa: ho indray andro maty izy mirahalahy.

³⁵And 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.

³⁵Ary 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.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.

³⁶And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thine house shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.

³⁶Ary 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.
