1 ¹Ɔbarima bi wɔ hɔ a ofi Ramataim-Sofim a ɛwɔ Efraim mmepɔw so; ne din de Elkana. Ɔyɛ Yeroham ba, Elihu ba, Tohu ba, Suf ba, Efraimni. ²Ɔwaree yerenom baanu, Hana ne Penina. Penina woo mma, nanso Hana de, ɔnwoo ba biara. ³Afe biara, ofi ne kurow mu foro kɔ Silo kɔsom na ɔbɔ afɔre ma ɔsoro asraafo Agya, faako a Eli mmabarima baanu, Hofni ne Pinehas, yɛ yɛn Agya asɔfo wɔ no. ⁴Bere a Elkana bɔɔ afɔre no, ɔde kyɛfa maa ne yere Penina ne ne mmabarima ne ne mmabea nyinaa. ⁵Nanso Hana de, ɔde kyɛfa mmɔho maa no, efisɛ ɔdɔ no, ɛwom sɛ yɛn Agya ato ne yafunu mu de. ⁶Esiane sɛ yɛn Agya ato ne yafunu mu nti, ne kora no hyɛɛ no abufuw denneennen daa sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ne werɛ bɛho. ⁷Afe ne afe, bere biara a Hana foro kɔ yɛn Agya fi no, Penina hyɛ no abufuw, enti osu na ɔmpɛ sɛ odidi. ⁸Ne kunu Elkana bisaa no se, “Hana, adɛn nti na woresu? Adɛn nti na wompɛ sɛ wodidi? Adɛn nti na wo werɛ ahow? So me ho nhia wo nsen mmabarima du?”

⁹Bere a wodidi na wɔnomee wiei wɔ Silo no, Hana sɔree. Saa bere no, ɔsɔfo Eli te akongua so wɔ yɛn Agya asɔredan no ɛpono ho. ¹⁰Ne werɛ howee yiye, enti ɔbɔɔ yɛn Agya mpae, na osui denneennen. ¹¹Ɔhyɛɛ bɔ se, “Ɔsoro asraafo Agya, sɛ wobɛhwɛ wo somfo amanehunu, na wokae me, na wo werɛ amfi wo somfo, na wode ɔbabarima ama no a, mede no bɛma yɛn Agya ne nkwa nna nyinaa, na oyiwan renka ne ti da.” ^a a v11 Sɛ wɔannyi abofra ti nhwi a, na ɛyɛ Nasireni bɔhyɛ no ho nsɛnkyerɛnne a ɛda adi — sɛ wɔde no ahyira Onyankopɔn so ne nkwa nna nyinaa (hwɛ Numeri 6).

¹²Bere a ɔkɔɔ so bɔɔ mpae wɔ yɛn Agya anim no, Eli hwɛɛ nʼano. ¹³Hana bɔɔ mpae wɔ ne koma mu; nʼano wosowosowee, nanso wɔante ne nne. Enti Eli susuw sɛ wabow nsa. ¹⁴Ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wobɛbow nsa akosi da bɛn? Yi wo nsa no fi wo ho.”

¹⁵“Daabi, me wura,” Hana buae. “Meyɛ ɔbaa a me honhom mu yɛ me yaw yiye. Mennom bobesa anaa nsa a ano yɛ den biara, na mmom mahwie me kra agu yɛn Agya anim. ¹⁶Mmu wo somfo sɛ ɔbaa a onni mfaso; me yaw ne mʼawerɛhow kɛse nti na mabɔ mpae wɔ ha yi.”

¹⁷Eli buaa no se, “Kɔ asomdwoe mu, na Israel Agya mfa nea wobisaa no no mma wo.”

¹⁸Ɔkae se, “Wo somfo nnya adom wɔ wʼani so.” Afei ɔbaa no kɔɔ ne kwan, na odidii, na nʼanim annyɛ awerɛhow bio.

¹⁹Ade kyee anɔpa tutuutu no, wɔsɔree somee wɔ yɛn Agya anim, na wɔsan kɔɔ wɔn fie wɔ Rama. Elkana ne ne yere Hana dae, na yɛn Agya kaee no.

²⁰Bere bi akyi no, Hana nyinsɛnee, na ɔwoo ɔbabarima. Ɔtoo no din Samuel, na ɔkae se, “Efisɛ mesrɛɛ no fii yɛn Agya hɔ.” ^b b v20 Samuel din no te sɛ Hebri asɛm a ɛkyerɛ “wɔbisaa no fii Onyankopɔn hɔ” — Hana de ɔbabarima a ɔsrɛɛ no fii yɛn Agya hɔ no too no din.

²¹Bere a Elkana ne ne fifo nyinaa foro kɔɔ sɛ wɔrekɔbɔ afɔre a wɔbɔ no afe biara no ama yɛn Agya, na wadi ne bɔ so no, ²²Hana ankɔ. Ɔka kyerɛɛ ne kunu se, “Sɛ abofra no gyae nufu nom a, mede no bɛba abɛda adi wɔ yɛn Agya anim, na ɔbɛtena hɔ daa.”

²³“Yɛ nea ɛyɛ wo papa,” ne kunu Elkana kae. “Tena hɔ kosi sɛ wobɛtwa no nufu; nanso yɛn Agya nni nʼasɛm so.” Enti Hana tenaa hɔ, na ɔmaa ne ba no nufu kosii sɛ otwaa no nufu.

²⁴Bere a otwaa no nufu wiei no, ɔde abofra no kaa ne ho foro kɔe, ɔne nantwinini a wadi mfe abiɛsa, esiam bɛyɛ pɔn aduonu anum, ne nsa toa bi, na ɔde no baa yɛn Agya fi wɔ Silo; na abofra no da so yɛ kumaa. ²⁵Wokum nantwinini no, na wɔde abofra no brɛɛ Eli. ²⁶Hana kae se, “Ao, me wura, sɛnea wote ase yi, me wura, mene ɔbaa a ogyinaa ha wo nkyɛn bɔɔ yɛn Agya mpae no. ²⁷Abofra yi na mebɔɔ mpae srɛɛ no, na yɛn Agya de nea mebisaa no no ama me. ²⁸Enti mede no ma yɛn Agya. Ne nkwa nna nyinaa, wɔde no ama no.” Na ɔsomee yɛn Agya wɔ hɔ.
