1 Samuel 3
1 Ang bata nga si Samuel nag-alagad kang Yahweh ubos kang Eli. Panagsa lang ang mga pulong ni Yahweh niadtong panahona; dili usab kanunay makakita ug panan-awon ang mga propeta.
And the youth Samuel is serving YHWH before Eli, and the word of YHWH has been precious in those days—there is no vision breaking forth.
2 Nianang panahona, sa dihang si Eli, nagsugod na ug dulom ang iyang panan-aw maong dili na kaayo siya makakita, naghigda sa iyang kaugalingong higdaanan.
And it comes to pass, at that time, that Eli is lying down in his place, and his eyes have begun [to be] faded—he is not able to see.
3 Ang lampara sa Dios wala pa mapalong, samtang si Samuel naghigda na ug natulog didto sa templo ni Yahweh, kung asa nahimutang ang sudlanan sa kasabotan sa Dios.
And the lamp of God is not yet extinguished, and Samuel is lying down in the temple of YHWH, where the Ark of God [is],
4 Gitawag ni Yahweh si Samuel, nga miingon, “Ania ako.”
and YHWH calls to Samuel, and he says, “Here I [am].”
5 Midagan si Samuel kang Eli ug miigon, “Ania ako, kay gitawag mo man ako.” Miingon si Eli, “Wala ko ikaw gitawag; higda ug balik.” Busa milakaw si Samuel ug mihigda pagbalik.
And he runs to Eli and says, “Here I [am], for you have called for me”; and he says, “I did not call; turn back, lie down”; and he goes and lies down.
6 Mitawag pag-usab si Yahweh, “Samuel.” Mibangon pagbalik si Samuel ug miadto kang Eli ug miingon, “Ania ako, kay gitawag mo man ako.” Mitubag si Eli, “Wala ko ikaw gitawag, akong anak; higda ug balik.”
And YHWH adds to call Samuel again, and Samuel rises and goes to Eli, and says, “Here I [am], for you have called for me”; and he says, “I have not called, my son, turn back, lie down.”
7 Karon wala pay kasinatian si Samuel kang Yahweh, bisan paman ang mga mensahe nga gikan kang Yahweh wala pa mapadayag kaniya.
And Samuel has not yet known YHWH, and the word of YHWH is not yet revealed to him.
8 Gitawag pag-usab ni Yahweh si Samuel sa ikatulong higayon. Mibangon pag-usab si Samuel ug miadto kang Eli ug miingon, “Ania ako, kay gitawag mo man ako.” Ug namatikdan ni Eli nga gitawag ni Yahweh ang maong batang lalaki.
And YHWH adds to call Samuel the third time, and he rises and goes to Eli, and says, “Here I [am], for you have called for me”; and Eli understands that YHWH is calling to the youth.
9 Misulti si Eli kang Samuel, “Lakaw ug balik paghigda; kung tawgon ka niya pag-usab, mao kini ang imong isulti, 'Sulti, Yahweh, kay maminaw ang imong alagad.” Busa mibalik pag-usab si Samuel paghigda sa iyang kaugalingong dapit.
And Eli says to Samuel, “Go, lie down, and it has been, if He calls to you, that you have said, Speak, YHWH, for Your servant is hearing”; and Samuel goes and lies down in his place.
10 Miabot si Yahweh ug nagtindog; mitawag siya sama sa niaging pagtawag, “Samuel, Samuel.” Mitubag si Samuel, “Sulti, kay maminaw ang imong alagad.”
And YHWH comes, and stations Himself, and calls as time by time, “Samuel, Samuel”; and Samuel says, “Speak, for Your servant is hearing.”
11 Miingon si Yahweh kang Samuel, “Tan-awa, aduna akoy pagabuhaton sa Israel nga diin ang mga dalunggan nga makadungog niini motagning gayod.
And YHWH says to Samuel, “Behold, I am doing a thing in Israel, at which the two ears of everyone hearing it tingle.
12 Nianang adlawa pagakuhaon ko ang tanan kong gisulti mahitungod sa panimalay ni Eli, gikan sa sinugdan hangtod sa kataposan.
In that day I establish to Eli all that I have spoken to his house, beginning and completing;
13 Giingnan ko na siya nga akong hukman ang iyang panimalay sa tanang sala nga iyang nahibaloan, tungod kay nagdala ug tunglo ang iyang mga anak nga lalaki sa ilang kaugalingon ug wala niya sila badlonga.
and I have declared to him that I am judging his house for all time, for the iniquity which he has known, for his sons are making themselves vile, and he has not restrained them,
14 Tungod niini akong gipanaad sa panimalay ni Eli nga ang mga sala nga anaa sa iyang panimalay dili mapasaylo pinaagi sa bisan unsang sakripisyo o halad.”
and therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli: the iniquity of the house of Eli is not atoned for, by sacrifice, and by offering—for all time.”
15 Mihigda si Samuel hangtod nga mibuntag; unya giablihan niya ang mga pultahan sa balay ni Yahweh. Apan nahadlok si Samuel nga isulti ang iyang panan-awon bahin kang Eli.
And Samuel lies until the morning, and opens the doors of the house of YHWH, and Samuel is afraid of declaring the vision to Eli.
16 Gitawag ni Eli si Samuel ug miingon, “Samuel, akong anak.” Miingon si Samuel, “Ania ako.”
And Eli calls Samuel and says, “Samuel, my son”; and he says, “Here I [am].”
17 Miingon siya, “Unsa man ang mga pulong nga iyang gisulti kanimo? Palihog ayaw kini ililong kanako. Hinaot buhaton usab kini sa Dios kanimo, ug labaw pa, kung imong ililong kanako ang tanang mga pulong nga iyang gisulti kanimo.”
And he says, “What [is] the word which He has spoken to you? Please do not hide it from me; so God does to you, and so does He add, if you hide from me a word of all the words that He has spoken to you.”
18 Busa gisulti ni Samuel ang tanan; ug wala siyay gililong gikan kaniya. Miingon si Eli, “Siya si Yahweh. Tugoti siya sa pagbuhat kung unsay maayo kaniya.”
And Samuel declares to him the whole of the words, and has not hid from him; and he says, “It [is] YHWH; that which is good in His eyes He does.”
19 Midako na si Samuel, ug nag-uban kanunay si Yahweh kaniya ug walay bisan usa nga napakyas sa iyang gipangsulti nga mga pulong ug natuman kining tanan.
And Samuel grows up, and YHWH has been with him, and has not let any of his words fall to the earth;
20 Ang tanang taga-Israel gikan sa Dan hangtod sa Beersheba nakabalo nga gipili si Samuel aron mahimong propeta ni Yahweh.
and all Israel knows, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba, that Samuel is established for a prophet to YHWH.
21 Nagpakita pag-usab si Yahweh didto sa Silo, kay gibutyag niya ang iyang kaugalingon kang Samuel didto sa Silo pinaagi sa iyang mga pulong.
And YHWH adds to appear in Shiloh, for YHWH has been revealed to Samuel, in Shiloh, by the word of YHWH.
