1 Samuel 1

10 Ā, i tino pōuri te ngākau o tērā, ka īnoi ki a Ihowā, ā, nui atu tāna tangi. 11 Nā, ka puaki tāna kī taurangi, i mea ia, "E Ihowā o ngā mano, ki te āta titiro mai koe ki te pōuri o tāu pononga wahine, ā, ka mahara ki ahau, ā, e kore e wareware ki tāu pononga, engari ka hōmai i tētahi tama ki tāu pononga, nā, ka hoatu ia e ahau ki a Ihowā i ngā rā katoa e ora ai ia; e kore anō he heu e heua ki tōna mātenga."

12 Nā, i te mea e īnoi tonu ana ia i te aroaro o Ihowā, ka titiro a Eri ki tōna waha. 13 Nā, ko Hana, e kōrero ana ia i roto i tōna ngākau; ko ōna ngutu kau e komeme ana, kīhai ia tōna reo i rangona; nā reira i mea ai a Eri e haurangi ana ia. 14 Nā, ka mea a Eri ki a ia, "Ka tae te roa o tōu haurangi! Whakarērea atu tāu wāina."

15 Nā, ka utua e Hana, ka mea, "Kāhore, e tōku ariki; he wahine ngākau pōuri ahau; kāhore ahau i inu i te wāina, i te wai whakahaurangi rānei; engari e ringihia ana e ahau tōku ngākau ki te aroaro o Ihowā. 16 Kaua tāu pononga e kīia he tamāhine nā Periara; nā te nui hoki o tōku mamae, o tōku pōuri, ēnei kōrero āku."

17 Kātahi ka utua e Eri, ka mea ia, "Haere mārie; ā, mā te Atua o Īharaira e hōmai tāu mea i īnoi ai koe ki a ia."

18 Nā, ka mea tērā, "Kia manakohia tāu pononga e koe." Kātahi taua wahine ka haere, ka kai, ā, mutu ake te pōuri o tōna mata.

19 Nā, ka maranga wawe rātou i te ata, ā, ka koropiko ki te aroaro o Ihowā, ā, hoki ana, haere ana ki tō rātou whare i Rama. Nā, ka mōhio a Erekana ki a Hana, ki tāna wahine; i mahara anō a Ihowā ki a ia. 20 Nā, ka taka ngā rā, ka hapū a Hana, ā, ka whānau he tama; ā, huaina iho e ia tōna ingoa ko Hamuera, i mea hoki, "Nō te mea i īnoia ia e ahau i a Ihowā."
