1 W axaa jiray nin reer Raamaatayim Soofiim ahaa oo degganaa dalkii buuraha lahaa ee reer Efrayim, magiciisana waxaa la odhan jiray Elqaanaah, oo wuxuu ahaa ina Yeroxaam, ina Eliihuu, ina Toohuu, ina Suuf, wuxuuna ahaa reer Efraad;

Now there was a certain man from Ramathaim-zophim from the hill country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.

2 o o wuxuu lahaa laba naagood, middood magaceeda waxaa la odhan jiray Xannaah, tan kale magaceeduna wuxuu ahaa Feninnaah. Feninnaah carruur bay lahayd, laakiinse Xannaah carruur ma lahayn.

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

3 O o ninkaasu sannad ka sannad wuxuu ka bixi jiray magaaladiisa, oo wuxuu u tegi jiray inuu Rabbiga Ciidammada Shiiloh ku caabudo oo allabari u bixiyo. Oo Ceelii labadiisii wiil oo ahaa Hofnii iyo Fiinexaas, ee Rabbiga wadaaddo u ahaana halkaasay joogeen.

Now this man would go up from his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice to the Lord of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests to the Lord there.

4 O o Elqaanaah maalintii uu allabariga bixiyey ayuu qayb siiyey naagtiisii Feninnaah iyo wiilasheedii iyo gabdhaheedii oo dhan,

When the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he would give portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and her daughters;

5 l aakiinse Xannaah wuxuu siiyey qayb labanlaab ah; maxaa yeelay, Xannaah wuu jeclaa, laakiinse Rabbigaa maxalkeedii xidhay.

but to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved Hannah, but the Lord had closed her womb.

6 T ii dhibi jirtay ayaa aad uga cadhaysiisay, si ay uga xanaajiso, maxaa yeelay, Rabbigaa maxalkeedii xidhay.

Her rival, however, would provoke her bitterly to irritate her, because the Lord had closed her womb.

7 O o intuu saas yeelayay sannad ka sannad, markii ay gurigii Rabbiga tagtay, ayay ka xanaajisay iyadii, taas daraaddeed way ooyday, oo waxba ma ay cunin.

It happened year after year, as often as she went up to the house of the Lord, she would provoke her; so she wept and would not eat.

8 M arkaasaa ninkeedii Elqaanaah wuxuu iyadii ku yidhi, Xannaah, maxaad u ooyaysaa? Oo maxaad wax u cuni weyday? Oo maxaa qalbigaagu u xumaaday? Miyaanan anigu toban wiil kaaga wanaagsanayn?

Then Elkanah her husband said to her, “Hannah, why do you weep and why do you not eat and why is your heart sad? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”

9 S aas aawadeed Xannaah way kacday markii ay Shiiloh wax ku cuneen oo ay wax cabbeen dabadeed. Haddaba wadaadkii Ceelii ahaa wuxuu ku fadhiistay kursigiisii oo ag yiil macbudka Ilaah tiirkiisa.

Then Hannah rose after eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the temple of the Lord.

10 I yadu aad bay u murugootay, oo intay ooyday ayay Rabbiga bariday.

She, greatly distressed, prayed to the Lord and wept bitterly.

11 M arkaasay nidar nidartay, oo waxay tidhi, Rabbiga Ciidammadow, haddaad fiirisid dhibta aan anoo addoontaada ah qabo, oo aad i soo xusuusatid, ee aadan i illoobin anoo addoontaada ah, laakiinse aad i siiso wiil, de markaas cimrigiisa oo dhan waan ku siinayaa, Rabbiyow, oo madaxiisana mandiil lama marin doono.

She made a vow and said, “O Lord of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a son, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and a razor shall never come on his head.”

12 O o intii ay Rabbiga hortiisa ku baryootamaysay ayuu Ceelii fiiriyey afkeedii.

Now it came about, as she continued praying before the Lord, that Eli was watching her mouth.

13 H addaba Xannaah waxay ka hadlaysay qalbigeeda, oo bushimaheeda keliya ayaa dhaqdhaqaaqayay, laakiinse codkeedii lama maqlin; sidaas daraaddeed Ceelii wuxuu mooday inay sakhraantay.

As for Hannah, she was speaking in her heart, only her lips were moving, but her voice was not heard. So Eli thought she was drunk.

14 M arkaasaa Ceelii wuxuu iyadii ku yidhi, Ilaa gormaad sakhraamaysaa? Khamrigaaga iska fogee.

Then Eli said to her, “ How long will you make yourself drunk? Put away your wine from you.”

15 M arkaasaa Xannaah u jawaabtay oo ku tidhi, Maya, sayidkaygiiyow, ee waxaan ahay naag ruuxeedu murugaysan yahay, oo ma aanan cabbin khamri iyo wax lagu sakhraamo toona, laakiinse naftaydaan Rabbiga ku baryayaa.

But Hannah replied, “No, my lord, I am a woman oppressed in spirit; I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have poured out my soul before the Lord.

16 A noo addoontaada ah ha igu tirin gabadh xun; waayo, welwelkayga iyo xanaaqayga batay aawadood ayaan ilaa haatan u hadlayay.

Do not consider your maidservant as a worthless woman, for I have spoken until now out of my great concern and provocation.”

17 M arkaasaa Ceelii u jawaabay oo yidhi, Nabad ku tag, oo Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil ha ku siiyo baryadaadii aad weyddiisatay.

Then Eli answered and said, “ Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of Him.”

18 M arkaasay tidhi, Anoo addoontaada ah naxariis aan kaa helo. Sidaas daraaddeed naagtii way iska tagtay, oo wax bay cuntay, oo wejigeeduna mar dambe ma murugsanayn.

She said, “ Let your maidservant find favor in your sight.” So the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad. Samuel Is Born to Hannah

19 M arkaasay aroor hore kaceen, oo Rabbiga caabudeen, dabadeedna way noqdeen, oo yimaadeen gurigoodii Raamaah ku yiil; markaasaa Elqaanaah u tegey naagtiisii Xannaah; oo Rabbiguna iyadii wuu xusuustay.

Then they arose early in the morning and worshiped before the Lord, and returned again to their house in Ramah. And Elkanah had relations with Hannah his wife, and the Lord remembered her.

20 O o markii wakhtigii la gaadhay ayay Xannaah uuraysatay, oo ay wiil dhashay; oo magiciisiina waxay u bixisay Samuu'eel, oo waxay tidhi, Maxaa yeelay, isagaan Rabbiga weyddiistay. Xannaah Oo Rabbiga Siisay Samuu'eel

It came about in due time, after Hannah had conceived, that she gave birth to a son; and she named him Samuel, saying, “ Because I have asked him of the Lord.”

21 M arkaasaa ninkii Elqaanaah ahaa, iyo reerkiisii oo dhammuba waxay u tageen inay Rabbiga u bixiyaan allabarigii sannad walba joogtada u ahaa iyo nidarkiisii.

Then the man Elkanah went up with all his household to offer to the Lord the yearly sacrifice and pay his vow.

22 L aakiinse Xannaah ma ay tegin, waayo, waxay ninkeedii ku tidhi, Anigu tegi maayo ilaa wiilka naaska laga gudhiyo, dabadeedna waan keeni doonaa inuu Rabbiga hortiisa ka muuqdo, oo uu halkaas joogo weligiisba.

But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, “ I will not go up until the child is weaned; then I will bring him, that he may appear before the Lord and stay there forever.”

23 M arkaasaa ninkeedii Elqaanaah ku yidhi, Wixii kula wanaagsan yeel; oo iska joog ilaa aad naaska ka gudhisid, laakiinse Rabbigu eraygiisa ha adkeeyo. Sidaas aawadeed naagtii way iska joogtay oo wiilkii bay nuujisay ilaa ay naaskii ka gudhisay.

Elkanah her husband said to her, “Do what seems best to you. Remain until you have weaned him; only may the Lord confirm His word.” So the woman remained and nursed her son until she weaned him.

24 O o markay isagii naaska ka gudhisay ayay qaadatay oo la tagtay isagii, iyo saddex dibi, iyo eefaah bur ah, iyo qarbed khamri ah, oo waxay isagii keentay gurigii Rabbiga ee Shiiloh ku yiil, oo wiilkuna wuu yaraa.

Now when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with a three-year-old bull and one ephah of flour and a jug of wine, and brought him to the house of the Lord in Shiloh, although the child was young.

25 M arkaasay dibi qaleen, oo wiilkiina waxay u keeneen Ceelii.

Then they slaughtered the bull, and brought the boy to Eli.

26 K olkaasay tidhi, Sayidkaygiiyow, waxaan ku dhaaranayaa naftaada nool, Sayidkaygiiyow, waxaan ahay naagtii halkan ku soo ag istaagtay, iyadoo Rabbiga baryaysa.

She said, “Oh, my lord! As your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood here beside you, praying to the Lord.

27 W axaan ka baryay wiilkan, oo Rabbigu waa i siiyey baryadaydii aan weyddiistay isaga,

For this boy I prayed, and the Lord has given me my petition which I asked of Him.

28 s idaas daraaddeed waxaan isaga siiyey Rabbiga, oo intuu nool yahay oo dhan waxaa leh oo la siiyey Rabbiga. Oo isna halkaasuu Rabbiga ku caabuday.

So I have also dedicated him to the Lord; as long as he lives he is dedicated to the Lord.” And he worshiped the Lord there.
