1 Samuel 3
1 Ug ang bata nga si Samuel nag-alagad kang Jehova sa atubangan ni Eli. Ug ang pulong ni Jehova bililhon niadtong mga adlawa, niadto walay panan-awon nga kanunay.
Now the young Samuel was the servant of the Lord before Eli. In those days the Lord kept his word secret from men; there was no open vision.
2 Ug kini nahitabo niadtong panahona, sa naghigda na si Eli sa iyang dapit (karon ang iyang mga mata nagsugod na sa pagkahalap, mao nga siya dili na makakita),
And at that time, when Eli was resting in his place, (now his eyes were becoming clouded so that he was not able to see, )
3 Ug ang lamparahan sa Dios wala pa mapalong, ug si Samuel gipahigda aron matulog, sa sulod sa templo ni Jehova, diin didto ang arca sa Dios;
And the light of God was still burning, while Samuel was sleeping in the Temple of the Lord where the ark of God was,
4 Nga si Jehova nagtawag kang Samuel: ug siya miingon: Ania ako.
The voice of the Lord said Samuel's name; and he said, Here am I.
5 Ug siya midalagan ngadto kang Eli, ug miingon: Ania ako; kay ikaw nagtawag kanako. Ug siya miingon: Ako wala magtawag; humigda ka pag-usab. Ug siya mipahawa ug mihigda.
And running to Eli he said, Here am I, for you said my name. And Eli said, I did not say your name; go to your rest again. So he went back to his bed.
6 Ug si Jehova mitawag pag-usab: Samuel. Ug si Samuel mibangon ug miadto kang Eli, ug miingon: Ania ako; kay ikaw nagtawag kanako. Ug siya mitubag: Ako wala magtawag, anak ko; humigda ka pag-usab.
And again the Lord said, Samuel. And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, Here am I; for you certainly said my name. But he said in answer, I said nothing, my son; go to your rest again.
7 Karon si Samuel wala pa makaila kang Jehova, ni ang pulong ni Jehova napahayag na kaniya.
Now at that time Samuel had no knowledge of the Lord, and the revelation of the word of the Lord had not come to him.
8 Ug si Jehova nagtawag pag-usab kang Samuel sa ikatolo. Ug siya mibangon ug miadto kang Eli, ug miingon: Ania ako; kay ikaw nagtawag kanako. Ug si Eli nakasabut nga ang bata gitawag ni Jehova.
And for the third time the Lord said Samuel's name. And he got up and went to Eli and said, Here am I; for you certainly said my name. Then it was clear to Eli that the voice which had said the child's name was the Lord's.
9 Busa si Eli miingon kang Samuel: Lakaw, higda: ug mamao kini, kong siya magtawag kanimo, ikaw magaingon: Sulti, Jehova; kay ang imong sulogoon mamati. Busa si Samuel miadto ug mihigda sa iyang dapit.
So Eli said to Samuel, Go back: and if the voice comes again, let your answer be, Say on, Lord; for the ears of your servant are open. So Samuel went back to his bed.
10 Ug si Jehova miabut ug mitindog ug nagtawag ingon sa uban nga mga panahon: Samuel, Samuel. Unya si Samuel miingon: Sulti; kay ang imong sulogoon namati.
Then the Lord came and said as before, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel made answer, Say on, Lord; for the ears of your servant are open.
11 Ug si Jehova miingon kang Samuel: Ania karon, ako magahimo ug usa ka butang sa Israel, nga niana ang duha ka igdulungog sa tagsatagsa nga makadungog magasiyuk.
And the Lord said to Samuel, See, I will do a thing in Israel at which the ears of everyone hearing of it will be burning.
12 Nianang adlawa ako magahimo batok kang Eli sa tanan nga akong gipamulong mahitungod sa iyang balay, sukad sa sinugdan bisan hangtud sa katapusan.
In that day I will do to Eli everything which I have said about his family, from first to last.
13 Kay ako nagsugilon kaniya nga ako ang magahukom sa iyang balay sa walay katapusan, tungod sa kasal-anan nga iyang nahibaloan, tungod kay ang iyang mga anak nga lalake nanagdala ug tunglo sa ilang kaugalingon, ug siya wala magbadlong kanila.
And you are to say to him that I will send punishment on his family for ever, for the sin which he had knowledge of; because his sons have been cursing God and he had no control over them.
14 Ug busa ako nakapanumpa sa balay ni Eli, nga ang kasal-anan sa balay ni Eli, dili kabayran ug halad ni sa hatag sa walay katapusan.
So I have made an oath to the family of Eli that no offering of meat or of meal which they may make will ever take away the sin of his family.
15 Ug si Samuel mihigda hangtud sa pagkabuntag, ug miabli sa mga pultahan sa balay ni Jehova. Ug si Samuel nahadlok sa pagpahibalo kang Eli sa panan-awon.
And Samuel kept where he was, not moving till the time came for opening the doors of the house of God in the morning. And fear kept him from giving Eli an account of his vision.
16 Unya si Eli nagtawag kang Samuel, ug miingon: Samuel, anak ko. Ug siya miingon: Ania ako.
Then Eli said, Samuel, my son. And Samuel answering said, Here am I.
17 Ug siya miingon: Unsa ang butang nga gisulti ni Jehova kanimo? Ako nagahangyo kanimo, ayaw kana pagitungina kanako: Ang Dios magahimo unta sa ingon kanimo ug labi pa gayud usab kong ikaw magtungina sa bisan unsa kanako sa tanang mga butang nga iyang gisulti kanimo.
And he said, What did the Lord say to you? Do not keep it from me: may God's punishment be on you if you keep from me anything he said to you.
18 Ug si Samuel nagsugilon kaniya sa tanan ug wala magtago sa bisan unsa gikan kaniya. Ug siya miingon: Kadto mao si Jehova: ipabuhat kaniya kong unsay maayo kaniya.
Then Samuel gave him an account of everything, keeping nothing back. And he said, It is the Lord; let him do what seems good to him.
19 Ug si Samuel nagtubo, ug si Jehova nag-uban kaniya, ug wala magatugot nga may mahulog sa iyang pulong sa yuta.
And Samuel became older, and the Lord was with him and let not one of his words be without effect.
20 Ug ang tibook Israel gikan sa Dan bisan ngadto sa Beer-seba nanghibalo nga si Samuel nahimutang aron mahimo nga usa ka manalagna ni Jehova.
And it was clear to all Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba that Samuel had been made a prophet of the Lord.
21 Ug si Jehova nagpakita na usab didto sa Silo; kay si Jehova nagpakita sa iyang kaugalingon kang Samuel didto sa Silo pinaagi sa pulong ni Jehova.
And the Lord was seen again in Shiloh; for the Lord gave to Samuel in Shiloh the revelation of his word.
