1 Samuel 2
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
Cântarea Anei
2 Ana s-a rugat(A) şi a zis:
„Mi se bucură inima(B) în Domnul,
Puterea mea(C) a fost înălţată de Domnul;
Mi s-a deschis larg gura împotriva vrăjmaşilor mei,
Căci mă bucur(D) de ajutorul Tău.
2 Nimeni(E) nu este sfânt ca Domnul;
Nu este alt(F) Dumnezeu decât Tine;
Nu este stâncă aşa ca Dumnezeul nostru.
3 Nu mai vorbiţi cu atâta îngâmfare,
Să nu vă mai iasă din gură cuvinte de mândrie(G),
Căci Domnul este un Dumnezeu care ştie totul,
Şi toate faptele sunt cântărite de El.
4 Arcul(H) celor puternici s-a sfărâmat,
Şi cei slabi sunt încinşi cu putere.
5 Cei ce(I) erau sătui se închiriază pentru pâine,
Şi cei ce erau flămânzi se odihnesc;
Chiar cea(J) stearpă naşte de şapte ori,
Şi cea care(K) avea mulţi copii stă lâncezită.
6 Domnul omoară(L) şi învie,
El pogoară în Locuinţa morţilor şi El scoate de acolo.
7 Domnul sărăceşte(M) şi El îmbogăţeşte,
El smereşte(N) şi El înalţă,
8 El ridică(O) din pulbere pe cel sărac,
Ridică din gunoi pe cel lipsit,
Ca să-i pună(P) să şadă alături cu cei mari.
Şi le dă de moştenire un scaun de domnie îmbrăcat cu slavă,
Căci ai Domnului sunt stâlpii(Q) pământului
Şi pe ei a aşezat El lumea.
9 El va păzi paşii(R) preaiubiţilor Lui,
Dar cei răi vor fi nimiciţi în întuneric,
Căci omul nu va birui prin putere.
10 Vrăjmaşii Domnului vor tremura(S),
Din înălţimea(T) cerului El Îşi va arunca tunetul asupra lor;
Domnul(U) va judeca marginile pământului.
El va da Împăratului Său putere
Şi El va înălţa tăria(V) Unsului Lui”.
11 Elcana s-a dus acasă, la Rama, şi copilul a rămas în slujba(W) Domnului, înaintea preotului Eli.
Răutatea fiilor lui Eli
12 Fiii lui Eli erau nişte oameni răi(X). Nu(Y) cunoşteau pe Domnul. 13 Şi iată care era felul de purtare al acestor preoţi faţă de popor. Când aducea cineva o jertfă, venea sluga preotului în clipa când se fierbea carnea. Ţinând în mână o furculiţă cu trei coarne, 14 o vâra în cazan, în căldare, în tigaie sau în oală, şi tot ce apuca cu furculiţa, lua preotul pentru el. Aşa făceau ei tuturor acelora din Israel care veneau la Silo. 15 Chiar înainte de a arde(Z) grăsimea, venea sluga preotului şi zicea celui ce aducea jertfa: „Dă pentru preot carnea de fript; el nu va lua de la tine carne fiartă, ci vrea carne crudă”. 16 Şi dacă omul zicea: „După ce se va arde grăsimea, vei lua ce-ţi va plăcea”, sluga răspundea: „Nu! Dă-mi acum, căci altfel iau cu sila”. 17 Tinerii aceştia se făceau vinovaţi înaintea Domnului de un foarte(AA) mare păcat, pentru că nesocoteau(AB) darurile Domnului.
Samuel, în slujba Domnului
18 Samuel(AC) făcea slujba înaintea Domnului şi copilul acesta era îmbrăcat(AD) cu un efod de in. 19 Mamă-sa îi făcea pe fiecare an o mantie mică şi i-o aducea când se suia(AE) cu bărbatul ei ca să aducă jertfa din fiecare an. 20 Eli a binecuvântat(AF) pe Elcana şi pe nevastă-sa şi a zis: „Să dea Domnul să ai copii din femeia aceasta, care să înlocuiască pe acela pe care l-a împrumutat(AG) ea Domnului!” Şi s-au întors acasă. 21 Când a cercetat(AH) Domnul pe Ana, ea a rămas însărcinată şi a născut trei fii şi două fiice. Şi tânărul Samuel creştea(AI) înaintea Domnului.
Eli îşi mustră copiii
22 Eli era foarte bătrân şi a aflat cum se purtau fiii lui cu tot Israelul; a aflat şi că se culcau cu femeile(AJ) care slujeau afară, la uşa cortului întâlnirii. 23 El le-a zis: „Pentru ce faceţi astfel de lucruri? Căci aflu de la tot poporul despre faptele voastre rele. 24 Nu, copii, ce aud spunându-se despre voi nu este bine; voi faceţi pe poporul Domnului să păcătuiască. 25 Dacă un om păcătuieşte împotriva altui om, îl va judeca Dumnezeu, dar dacă păcătuieşte împotriva(AK) Domnului, cine se va ruga pentru el?” Totuşi ei n-au ascultat de glasul tatălui lor, căci Domnul(AL) voia să-i omoare. 26 Tânărul Samuel creştea mereu(AM) şi era plăcut(AN) Domnului şi oamenilor.
Vestirea pedepsei împotriva casei lui Eli
27 Un om(AO) al lui Dumnezeu a venit la Eli şi i-a zis: „Aşa vorbeşte Domnul: ‘Nu M-am descoperit(AP) Eu casei tatălui tău când erau în Egipt, în casa lui Faraon? 28 Eu l-am ales(AQ) dintre toate seminţiile lui Israel, ca să fie în slujba Mea, în preoţie, ca să se suie la altarul Meu, să ardă tămâia şi să poarte efodul înaintea Mea şi am dat(AR) casei tatălui tău toate jertfele mistuite de foc şi aduse de copiii lui Israel. 29 Pentru ce călcaţi(AS) voi în picioare jertfele Mele şi darurile Mele, care am poruncit să se facă în Locaşul(AT) Meu? Şi cum se face că tu cinsteşti pe fiii tăi mai mult decât pe Mine, ca să vă îngrăşaţi din cele dintâi roade luate din toate darurile poporului Meu Israel?’ 30 De aceea, iată ce zice Domnul, Dumnezeul lui Israel: ‘Spusesem(AU) că şi casa ta şi casa tatălui tău au să umble totdeauna înaintea Mea. Şi acum, zice Domnul, departe(AV) de Mine lucrul acesta! Căci voi cinsti(AW) pe cine Mă cinsteşte, dar cei ce Mă dispreţuiesc(AX) vor fi dispreţuiţi. 31 Iată că vine vremea(AY) când voi tăia braţul tău şi braţul casei tatălui tău, aşa încât nu va mai fi niciun bătrân în casa ta. 32 Vei vedea un potrivnic al tău în locaşul Meu, în timp ce Israel va fi copleşit de bunătăţi de Domnul şi nu va mai fi niciodată niciun bătrân(AZ) în casa ta. 33 Voi lăsa să rămână la altarul Meu numai unul dintr-ai tăi, ca să ţi se topească ochii de durere şi să ţi se întristeze sufletul, dar toţi ceilalţi din casa ta vor muri în floarea vârstei. 34 Şi iată semnul(BA) celor ce se vor întâmpla celor doi fii ai tăi, Hofni şi Fineas: amândoi vor muri(BB) într-o zi. 35 Eu(BC) Îmi voi pune un preot credincios, care va lucra după inima Mea şi după sufletul Meu; îi voi zidi(BD) o casă stătătoare şi va umbla totdeauna înaintea Unsului(BE) Meu. 36 Şi(BF) oricine va mai rămâne din casa ta va veni să se arunce cu faţa la pământ înaintea lui pentru un ban de argint şi pentru o bucată de pâine şi va zice: «Pune-mă, te rog, în una din slujbele preoţiei, ca să am o bucată de pâine să mănânc».’ ”
1 Samuel 2
King James Version
2 And 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.
2 There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.
3 Talk 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.
4 The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
5 They 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.
6 The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.
7 The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.
8 He 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.
9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
10 The 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.
11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the Lord before Eli the priest.
12 Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the Lord.
13 And 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;
14 And 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.
15 Also 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.
16 And 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.
17 Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord: for men abhorred the offering of the Lord.
18 But Samuel ministered before the Lord, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.
19 Moreover 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.
20 And 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.
21 And the Lord visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the Lord.
22 Now 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.
23 And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.
24 Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the Lord's people to transgress.
25 If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the Lord would slay them.
26 And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the Lord, and also with men.
27 And 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?
28 And 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?
29 Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?
30 Wherefore 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 honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
31 Behold, 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.
32 And 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.
33 And 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.
34 And 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.
35 And 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.
36 And 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.
1 Samuel 2
New King James Version
Hannah’s Prayer(A)
2 And Hannah (B)prayed and said:
(C)“My heart rejoices in the Lord;
(D)My [a]horn is exalted in the Lord.
[b]I smile at my enemies,
Because I (E)rejoice in Your salvation.
2 “No(F) one is holy like the Lord,
For there is (G)none besides You,
Nor is there any (H)rock like our God.
3 “Talk no more so very proudly;
(I)Let no arrogance come from your mouth,
For the Lord is the God of (J)knowledge;
And by Him actions are weighed.
4 “The(K) bows of the mighty men are broken,
And those who stumbled are girded with strength.
5 Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread,
And the hungry have ceased to hunger.
Even (L)the barren has borne seven,
And (M)she who has many children has become feeble.
6 “The(N) Lord kills and makes alive;
He brings down to the grave and brings up.
7 The Lord (O)makes poor and makes rich;
(P)He brings low and lifts up.
8 (Q)He raises the poor from the dust
And lifts the beggar from the ash heap,
(R)To set them among princes
And make them inherit the throne of glory.
(S)“For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s,
And He has set the world upon them.
9 (T)He will guard the feet of His saints,
But the (U)wicked shall be silent in darkness.
“For by strength no man shall prevail.
10 The adversaries of the Lord shall be (V)broken in pieces;
(W)From heaven He will thunder against them.
(X)The Lord will judge the ends of the earth.
11 Then Elkanah went to his house at Ramah. But the child [d]ministered to the Lord before Eli the priest.
The Wicked Sons of Eli
12 Now the sons of Eli were (AB)corrupt;[e] (AC)they did not know the Lord. 13 And the priests’ custom with the people was that when any man offered a sacrifice, the priest’s servant would come with a three-pronged fleshhook in his hand while the meat was boiling. 14 Then he would thrust it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; and the priest would take for himself all that the fleshhook brought up. So they did in (AD)Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there. 15 Also, before they (AE)burned the fat, the priest’s servant would come and say to the man who sacrificed, “Give meat for roasting to the priest, for he will not take boiled meat from you, but raw.”
16 And if the man said to him, “They should really burn the fat first; then you may take as much as your heart desires,” he would then answer him, “No, but you must give it now; and if not, I will take it by force.”
17 Therefore the sin of the young men was very great (AF)before the Lord, for men (AG)abhorred[f] the offering of the Lord.
Samuel’s Childhood Ministry
18 (AH)But Samuel ministered before the Lord, even as a child, (AI)wearing a linen ephod. 19 Moreover his mother used to make him a little robe, and bring it to him year by year when she (AJ)came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice. 20 And Eli (AK)would bless Elkanah and his wife, and say, “The Lord give you descendants from this woman for the [g]loan that was (AL)given to the Lord.” Then they would go to their own home.
21 And the Lord (AM)visited[h] Hannah, so that she conceived and bore three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile the child Samuel (AN)grew before the Lord.
Prophecy Against Eli’s Household
22 Now Eli was very old; and he heard everything his sons did to all Israel, [i]and how they lay with (AO)the women who assembled at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 23 So he said to them, “Why do you do such things? For I hear of your evil dealings from all the people. 24 No, my sons! For it is not a good report that I hear. You make the Lord’s people transgress. 25 If one man sins against another, (AP)God[j] will judge him. But if a man (AQ)sins against the Lord, who will intercede for him?” Nevertheless they did not heed the voice of their father, (AR)because the Lord desired to kill them.
26 And the child Samuel (AS)grew in stature, and (AT)in favor both with the Lord and men.
27 Then a (AU)man of God came to Eli and said to him, “Thus says the Lord: (AV)‘Did I not clearly reveal Myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh’s house? 28 Did I not (AW)choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be My priest, to offer upon My altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod before Me? And (AX)did I not give to the house of your father all the offerings of the children of Israel made by fire? 29 Why do you (AY)kick at My sacrifice and My offering which I have commanded in My (AZ)dwelling place, and honor your sons more than (BA)Me, to make yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of Israel My people?’ 30 Therefore the Lord God of Israel says: (BB)‘I said indeed that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever.’ But now the Lord says: (BC)‘Far be it from Me; for those who honor Me I will honor, and (BD)those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed. 31 Behold, (BE)the days are coming that I will cut off your [k]arm and the arm of your father’s house, so that there will not be an old man in your house. 32 And you will see an enemy in My dwelling place, despite all the good which God does for Israel. And there shall not be (BF)an old man in your house forever. 33 But any of your men whom I do not cut off from My altar shall consume your eyes and grieve your heart. And all the descendants of your house shall die in the flower of their age. 34 Now this shall be (BG)a sign to you that will come upon your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: (BH)in one day they shall die, both of them. 35 Then (BI)I will raise up for Myself a faithful priest who shall do according to what is in My heart and in My mind. (BJ)I will build him a sure house, and he shall walk before (BK)My anointed forever. 36 (BL)And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left in your house will come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and say, “Please, [l]put me in one of the priestly positions, that I may eat a piece of bread.” ’ ”

Hannah’s Prayer
2 Then Hannah prayed and said:(A)
“My heart rejoices(B) in the Lord;
in the Lord my horn[a](C) is lifted high.
My mouth boasts(D) over my enemies,(E)
for I delight in your deliverance.
2 “There is no one holy(F) like(G) the Lord;
there is no one besides you;
there is no Rock(H) like our God.
3 “Do not keep talking so proudly
or let your mouth speak such arrogance,(I)
for the Lord is a God who knows,(J)
and by him deeds(K) are weighed.(L)
4 “The bows of the warriors are broken,(M)
but those who stumbled are armed with strength.(N)
5 Those who were full hire themselves out for food,
but those who were hungry(O) are hungry no more.
She who was barren(P) has borne seven children,
but she who has had many sons pines away.
6 “The Lord brings death and makes alive;(Q)
he brings down to the grave and raises up.(R)
7 The Lord sends poverty and wealth;(S)
he humbles and he exalts.(T)
8 He raises(U) the poor(V) from the dust(W)
and lifts the needy(X) from the ash heap;
he seats them with princes
and has them inherit a throne of honor.(Y)
“For the foundations(Z) of the earth are the Lord’s;
on them he has set the world.
9 He will guard the feet(AA) of his faithful servants,(AB)
but the wicked will be silenced in the place of darkness.(AC)
“It is not by strength(AD) that one prevails;
10 those who oppose the Lord will be broken.(AE)
The Most High will thunder(AF) from heaven;
the Lord will judge(AG) the ends of the earth.
11 Then Elkanah went home to Ramah,(AJ) but the boy ministered(AK) before the Lord under Eli the priest.
Eli’s Wicked Sons
12 Eli’s sons were scoundrels; they had no regard(AL) for the Lord. 13 Now it was the practice(AM) of the priests that, whenever any of the people offered a sacrifice, the priest’s servant would come with a three-pronged fork in his hand while the meat(AN) was being boiled 14 and would plunge the fork into the pan or kettle or caldron or pot. Whatever the fork brought up the priest would take for himself. This is how they treated all the Israelites who came to Shiloh. 15 But even before the fat was burned, the priest’s servant would come and say to the person who was sacrificing, “Give the priest some meat to roast; he won’t accept boiled meat from you, but only raw.”
16 If the person said to him, “Let the fat(AO) be burned first, and then take whatever you want,” the servant would answer, “No, hand it over now; if you don’t, I’ll take it by force.”
17 This sin of the young men was very great in the Lord’s sight, for they[b] were treating the Lord’s offering with contempt.(AP)
18 But Samuel was ministering(AQ) before the Lord—a boy wearing a linen ephod.(AR) 19 Each year his mother made him a little robe and took it to him when she went up with her husband to offer the annual(AS) sacrifice. 20 Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, saying, “May the Lord give you children by this woman to take the place of the one she prayed(AT) for and gave to[c] the Lord.” Then they would go home. 21 And the Lord was gracious to Hannah;(AU) she gave birth to three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile, the boy Samuel grew(AV) up in the presence of the Lord.
22 Now Eli, who was very old, heard about everything(AW) his sons were doing to all Israel and how they slept with the women(AX) who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 23 So he said to them, “Why do you do such things? I hear from all the people about these wicked deeds of yours. 24 No, my sons; the report I hear spreading among the Lord’s people is not good. 25 If one person sins against another, God[d] may mediate for the offender; but if anyone sins against the Lord, who will(AY) intercede(AZ) for them?” His sons, however, did not listen to their father’s rebuke, for it was the Lord’s will to put them to death.
26 And the boy Samuel continued to grow(BA) in stature and in favor with the Lord and with people.(BB)
Prophecy Against the House of Eli
27 Now a man of God(BC) came to Eli and said to him, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Did I not clearly reveal myself to your ancestor’s family when they were in Egypt under Pharaoh? 28 I chose(BD) your ancestor out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense,(BE) and to wear an ephod(BF) in my presence. I also gave your ancestor’s family all the food offerings(BG) presented by the Israelites. 29 Why do you[e] scorn my sacrifice and offering(BH) that I prescribed for my dwelling?(BI) Why do you honor your sons more than me by fattening yourselves on the choice parts of every offering made by my people Israel?’
30 “Therefore the Lord, the God of Israel, declares: ‘I promised that members of your family would minister before me forever.(BJ)’ But now the Lord declares: ‘Far be it from me! Those who honor me I will honor,(BK) but those who despise(BL) me will be disdained.(BM) 31 The time is coming when I will cut short your strength and the strength of your priestly house, so that no one in it will reach old age,(BN) 32 and you will see distress(BO) in my dwelling. Although good will be done to Israel, no one in your family line will ever reach old age.(BP) 33 Every one of you that I do not cut off from serving at my altar I will spare only to destroy your sight and sap your strength, and all your descendants(BQ) will die in the prime of life.
34 “‘And what happens to your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, will be a sign(BR) to you—they will both die(BS) on the same day.(BT) 35 I will raise up for myself a faithful priest,(BU) who will do according to what is in my heart and mind. I will firmly establish his priestly house, and they will minister before my anointed(BV) one always. 36 Then everyone left in your family line will come and bow down before him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread and plead,(BW) “Appoint me to some priestly office so I can have food to eat.(BX)”’”

1 Samuel 2
Ang Pulong Sang Dios
Ang Pangamuyo ni Hana
2 Dayon nagpangamuyo si Hana,
“Nagakalipay ako sa Ginoo
kay tungod sa iya ginhimo nadula ang akon kahuy-anan.
Ginakadlawan ko subong ang akon mga kaaway.
Nagakalipay ako sa pagluwas niya sa akon.
2 Wala gid sing balaan nga pareho sa Ginoo.
Wala gid sing pareho sa iya.
Wala gid sing palalipdan nga bato nga pareho sa aton Dios.
3 Wala sing bisan sin-o nga makapabugal ukon makapahambog tungod kay ang Ginoo Dios nga nakahibalo sang tanan, kag ginabinagbinag niya ang mga ginahimo sang tawo.
4 Ginalaglag niya ang mga gamhanan, pero ginapabaskog niya ang mga maluya.
5 Ang mga bugana anay nagatrabaho na karon para lang mabuhi.
Pero ang mga gutom anay bugana na karon.
Ang baw-as anay may madamo na karon sang bata.
Pero ang may madamo sang bata nawad-an.
6 “May gahom ang Ginoo sa pagpatay kag sa pagbuhi sa tawo.
May gahom siya sa pagbutang sa ila sa lugar sang mga patay kag sa pagkuha sa ila didto.
7 Ginapaimol niya ang iban, kag ang iban ginapamanggaranon niya.
Ginapaubos niya ang iban, kag ang iban ginapadunggan niya.
8 Ginapabangon niya ang mga imol sa ila kaimulon.
Ginapapungko niya sila upod sa mga halangdon kag ginahatagan sang kadungganan.
Siya ang tag-iya sang pundasyon nga sa diin napasad ang kalibutan.
9 Ginabantayan niya ang iya matutom nga katawhan, pero ang mga malaot pagalaglagon niya.
Wala sing tawo nga magamadinalag-on sa iya kaugalingon nga ikasarang.
10 Pagalaglagon niya ang mga nagakontra sa iya.
Padaguobon niya ang langit kontra sa ila.
Ang Ginoo ang magahukom sa bug-os nga kalibutan.[a]
Tungod sa iya mangin gamhanan kag madinalag-on ang iya pinili nga hari.”
11 Dayon nagpauli si Elkana kag si Hana sa Rama. Pero ginbilin nila si Samuel agod mag-alagad sa Ginoo sa idalom sang pag-atipan ni Eli nga pari.
Ang Sala sang Duha ka Anak ni Eli
12 Ang duha ka anak ni Eli mga malaot nga mga tawo. Wala sila nagatuman sa Ginoo 13 tungod kay wala nila ginasunod ang mga pagsulundan parte sa bahin nga mabaton sang mga pari halin sa halad sang mga tawo. Amo ini ang ila ginahimo kon may nagahalad: Samtang ginapabukalan ang ginahalad nga mga karne, ginapakadto nila didto ang ila suluguon nga may dala nga dako nga tinidor nga may tatlo ka ngipon. 14 Dayon ginatuslok sang suluguon ang mga karne sa sulod sang kaldero ukon kolon. Ang madala sang tinidor amo ang bahin nila nga mga pari. Amo ini ang ila ginahimo kada halad sang mga Israelinhon sa Shilo. 15 Kag bisan antes pa sunugon ang tambok sang karne, nagapalapit ang ila suluguon sa tawo nga nagahalad kag nagasiling, “Hatagi sang karne ang pari para sugbahon. Indi siya magbaton sang ginpabukalan; gusto niya ang hilaw.” 16 Kon magsiling gani ang nagahalad nga hulaton anay nga mahalad ang tambok sang karne antes siya magkuha sang gusto niya, amo ini ang iya ginasiling, “Indi puwede! Kinahanglan ihatag mo subong gid, kay kon indi, agawon ko ina sa inyo.” 17 Dako gid ini nga sala nga nahimo sang mga anak ni Eli sa panulok sang Ginoo, kay wala nila ginatahod ang halad para sa Ginoo.
18 Karon, ang bata nga si Samuel padayon nga nagaalagad sa Ginoo. Nagasul-ob siya sang espesyal nga panapton[b] nga linen. 19 Kada tuig ginahimuan ni Hana si Samuel sang pangsampaw nga bayo, kag iya ini ginadala sa iya kon maglakat siya upod sa iya bana sa paghalad sang tuigan nga halad. 20 Kag didto, ginabendisyunan ni Eli si Elkana kag ang iya asawa. Nagasiling siya kay Elkana, “Kabay pa nga hatagan ka sang Ginoo sang mga kabataan paagi sa sining imo asawa bilang baylo sa isa nga ginpangayo niya kag iya man nga ginhatag sa Ginoo.” Dayon nagpauli sila.
21 Ginkaluoyan sang Ginoo si Hana. Nakabata pa siya sang tatlo ka lalaki kag duha ka babayi. Si Samuel iya padayon nga nagadako nga ara sa Ginoo.
Si Eli kag ang Iya mga Anak
22 Karon si Eli tigulang na gid. Nabatian niya ang tanan nga malain nga ginahimo sang iya mga anak sa mga Israelinhon. Kag nabatian man niya ang ila pagpakighilawas sa mga babayi nga nagaalagad sa may puwertahan dampi sang Tolda nga Ginapakigkitaan. 23 Gani ginsilingan niya sila, “Nabatian ko sa mga tawo ang tanan nga kalautan nga ginahimo ninyo. Ngaa ginahimo ninyo ina? 24 Untati na ninyo ina, mga anak, kay indi maayo ining mga nabatian ko sa katawhan sang Ginoo.”
25 Nagsiling pa gid si Eli, “Kon ang isa ka tawo makasala sa iya isigkatawo, mahimo nga ang Dios[c] magapatunga sa ila; pero sin-o ang magapatunga kon ang tawo makasala sa Ginoo?” Pero wala nagpamati sa iya ang iya mga anak tungod nagdesisyon na ang Ginoo nga patyon sila.
26 Sa pihak nga bahin, padayon nga nagadako si Samuel, kag nalipay gid sa iya ang Ginoo kag ang mga tawo.
Ang Tagna sa Panimalay ni Eli
27 Karon, nagpalapit ang isa ka propeta sang Dios[d] kay Eli kag nagsiling sa iya, “Amo ini ang ginahambal sang Ginoo: Nagpahayag ako sa imo katigulangan nga si Aaron kag sa iya pamilya sang sila ulipon pa sang hari sang Egipto.[e] 28 Sa tanan nga tribo sang Israel, ang iya pamilya ang ginpili ko nga mangin akon mga pari sa pag-alagad sa halaran, sa pagsunog sang insenso, kag sa pagsul-ob sang espesyal nga panapton[f] sang pari sa akon presensya. Ginhatagan ko man sila sang mga parte sa mga halad nga paagi sa kalayo[g] nga ginahalad sang mga Israelinhon. 29 Karon, ngaa ginahilabtan[h] pa ninyo ang mga halad nga para sa akon? Ngaa ginataha mo pa, Eli, ang imo mga kabataan sang sa akon? Kay ginapabay-an mo sila nga patambukon nila ang ila kaugalingon sang mga maayo nga parte sang mga halad nga halin sa akon katawhan nga mga Israelinhon. 30 Sadto anay, ako nga inyo Ginoo, ang Dios sang Israel, nagpromisa nga kamo gid lang kag ang iban pa nga mga kaliwat sang inyo katigulangan ang makaalagad sa akon hasta san-o bilang mga pari. Pero indi na karon, kay padunggan ko ang nagapadungog sa akon, pero ang nagapakalain sa akon pakamalauton ko. 31-32 Tandai ini, magaabot ang tion nga laglagon ko ang tanan nga pamatan-on sa inyo kag sa iban pa nga mga kaliwat sang inyo katigulangan. Magaantos kamo kag indi ninyo matilawan ang kabuganaan[i] nga ihatag ko sa Israel. Wala gid sing may magkabuhi nga tigulang sa inyo. 33 Indi ko pagpahalinon ang iban sa inyo sa pag-alagad sa akon bilang pari, pero magaagi sila sa puwerte nga pag-antos, kag indi maglawig ang ila kabuhi. 34 Kag bilang tanda para sa imo nga matabo ini nga mga butang, mapatay ang imo duha ka anak nga si Hofni kag si Finehas sa isa lang ka adlaw. 35 Magapili ako sang matutom nga pari nga magasunod sa akon kabubut-on. Hatagan ko siya sang mga kaliwat nga magaalagad sa akon pinili nga hari hasta san-o. 36 Ang tanan nga mabilin sa imo mga kaliwat magapakitluoy sa mga kaliwat sang sini nga pari nga hatagan sila sang kuwarta ukon pagkaon. Magapangabay sila sa ila nga himuon sila nga kabulig nga mga pari para lang nga makakaon sila.”
