1Now there was a certain man of Ramathaimzophim, 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:
1 Waato boro fo go no, Ramatim-Zofim boro no, Ifraymu tondey laabu haray wane. A maa ga ti Elkana, Yeroham ize, Elihu ize, Tohu ize, Zuf ize, Ifraymu dumi no.
2And 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.
2 A gonda wande hinka. Afa maa Hannatu, afa mo maa Penina. Penina gonda izeyaŋ, amma Hannatu wo sinda ize.
3And 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.
3 Bora din binde, jiiri kulu a ga tun nga kwaara ka koy Silo, zama nga ma sududu Rabbi Kundeykoyo se, nga ma sargay te mo. Eli ize hinka din mo, Hofni nda Fineyas, Rabbi alfagayaŋ no, i go noodin.
4And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:
4 Waato kaŋ Elkana zaaro bare ka kaa kaŋ a ga sargay te, a na nga wando Penina nda nga ize arey da ize wayey kulu no baayaŋ.
5But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb.
5 Amma a na Hannatu no baa hinka, zama a ga ba Hannatu. Amma Rabbi n'a gunda daabu.
6And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb.
6 A wayco mo ga dond'a gumo, a go g'a dukurandi zama Rabbi n'a hay-tuwo daabu.
7And 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.
7 Kaŋ albora goono ga woodin te jiiri ka kaa jiiri, saaya kulu kaŋ Hannatu ga koy Rabbi windo do, wayco ga soobay ka dond'a k'a dukurandi. Woodin se no Hannatu soobay ka hẽ, hal a wangu ka ŋwa.
8Then 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?
8 A kurnyo Elkana mo ne a se: «Hay, nin Hannatu, ifo se no ni goono ga hẽ? Ifo se no ni ga wangu ka ŋwa mo? Wala ifo se no ni bina sara? Manti ay bisa ni se baa ize alboro way?»
9So 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.
9 Waato kaŋ i ŋwa, i haŋ ka ban Silo ra, kala Hannatu tun. Saaya din binde Eli go noodin kaŋ ga ti alfaga* beero. A goono ga goro nga goray haro boŋ Rabbi windi bundu sintina gaa haray.
10And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore.
10 Hannatu gonda bine saray, a na adduwa te Rabbi gaa, a hẽ mo da hẽeni konno.
11And 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.
11 A binde na sarti sambu ka ne: «Ya Rabbi, Kundeykoyo, da ni yadda ka ay, ni koŋŋa kankamo wo guna, ma fongu ay gaa, ma si dinya ay, ni koŋŋa gaa mo, amma ma ni koŋŋa no ize aru. Ay mo kala ay m'a no Rabbi se, izo fundo me muudu. A si cabu mo hal abada.»
12And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli marked her mouth.
12 A ciya binde, waato kaŋ a go noodin, a go ga adduwa Rabbi jine, kala Eli na laakal ye a meyo gaa.
13Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.
13 Hannatu mo, nga bina ra haray no a goono ga salaŋ, kal a meyo kaŋ ga nyooti kayna, amma boro si maa a jinda. Woodin se no Eli tammahã kaŋ a bugu no.
14And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.
14 Eli ne a se mo: «Waati fo no ni ga ni buguyaŋo naŋ? Ma ni duvaŋo* hibandi ka kaa ni gaa.»
15And 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.
15 Hannatu tu ka ne: «Manti yaadin no, ay jine bora. Ay ya wayboro no kaŋ gonda bine saray biya. Ay mana duvan wala baji dumi kulu haŋ, amma ay goono g'ay fundo soogu no Rabbi jine.
16Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.
16 Ma si ni koŋŋa himandi wayboro laalo, zama ay bine sara nd'ay fantayaŋo ra no ay goono ga salaŋ hala ka kaa sohõ.»
17Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him.
17 Gaa no Eli tu ka ne: «To, koy day sohõ kay, baani ra. Israyla* Irikoyo mo ma ni no ni ŋwaara kaŋ ni ŋwaaray a gaa din.»
18And 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.
18 Hannatu ne: «Naŋ ay, ni koŋŋa ma du gaakuri ni jine.» Waybora binde na nga fonda gana ka koy. A ŋwa, a moyduma mana ye ka bine saray alhaali cabe koyne.
19And 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.
19 I tun za susubay ka sududu Rabbi jine, gaa no i bare ka kaa ngey kwaara Rama. Elkana nda nga wande Hannatu binde margu, Rabbi mo fongu a gaa.
20Wherefore 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.
20 I go no mo yaadin, saaya kaŋ jirbey to, kala Hannatu te gunde. A na ize alboro hay k'a maa daŋ Samuwila, ka ne: «Zama ay n'a ŋwaaray Rabbi gaa no.»
21And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer unto the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.
21 Bora din, Elkana fatta, nga nda nga windo kulu a banda, zama ngey ma koy ka jiiri kulu sarga te k'a sarto toonandi mo Rabbi se.
22But 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.
22 Amma Hannatu mana koy zama a ne nga kurnyo se: «Da arwaso fun wa, gaa no ay ga kond'a zama a ma bangay Rabbi jine, a ma goro noodin mo hal abada.»
23And 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.
23 A kurnyo Elkana ne a se: «Te haŋ kaŋ ni ga ba ni bina ra. Ma goro hala ni m'a kaa wa. Kala day Rabbi ma nga sanno daahirandi.» Nga din, waybora binde goro ka nga izo naanandi, kal a n'a kaa wa.
24And 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.
24 Waato kaŋ a n'a kaa wa binde, a n'a sambu nga banda, da haw hinza, da hamni muudu fo, da duvan humbur fo. A kande Samuwila kala Rabbi windo do Silo ra. Arwaso mo go zanka kayna.
25And they slew a bullock, and brought the child to Eli.
25 I na haw fo wi, i kande arwaso Eli do mo.
26And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD.
26 Waybora ne: «Ya ay jine bora, ay ze da ni fundo, ya ay jine bora, ay no ga ti waybora kaŋ kay ni do ne, ay go ga adduwa Rabbi gaa.
27For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him:
27 Arwaso wo se no ay na adduwa din te. Rabbi n'ay no ay ŋwaara kaŋ ay ŋwaaray a gaa.
28Therefore 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.
28 Woodin se no ay mo n'a no Rabbi se. I n'a no Rabbi se a fundo me muudu.» Noodin mo i sududu Rabbi se.
