1 Samueli 3
1 Samueli ankatumikira Yehova moyangʼaniridwa ndi Eli. Masiku amenewo mawu a Yehova sankamveka pafupipafupi. Kuona zinthu mʼmasomphenya sikunkachitikanso kawirikawiri.
Nowe the childe Samuel ministred vnto the Lord before Eli: and the word of the Lord was precious in those dayes: for there was no manifest vision.
2 Tsiku lina Eli, amene maso anali ofowoka ndi kuti sankatha kuona bwino, anagona pa malo ake.
And at that time, as Eli lay in his place, his eyes began to waxe dimme that he could not see.
3 Nthawiyi nʼkuti nyale ya Mulungu isanazimitsidwe. Samueli anali gone mu Nyumba ya Yehova, kumene kunali Bokosi la Chipangano cha Mulungu.
And yet the light of God went out, Samuel slept in the temple of the Lord, where the Arke of God was.
4 Yehova anayitana Samueli. Iye anayankha kuti, “Wawa.”
Then the Lord called Samuel: and hee said, Here I am.
5 Ndipo iyeyo anathamangira kwa Eli ndipo anati, “Ndabwera ndamva kuyitana.” Koma Eli anati, “Ine sindinakuyitane, bwerera kagone.” Ndipo iye anapita kukagona.
And he ranne vnto Eli, and said, Here am I, for thou calledst me. But he said, I called thee not: goe againe and sleepe. And he went and slept.
6 Yehova anayitananso, “Samueli!” Ndipo Samueli anadzuka ndi kupita kwa Eli nati, “Ndabwera popeza ndamva mukundiyitana.” Eli nati, “Mwana wanga, ine sindinakuyitane, bwerera kagone.”
And the Lord called once againe, Samuel. And Samuel arose, and went to Eli, and said, I am here: for thou diddest call me. And he answered, I called thee not, my sonne: go againe and sleepe.
7 Nthawiyi nʼkuti Samueli asanadziwe Yehova ndipo Mawu a Yehova nʼkuti asanawululidwe kwa iye.
Thus did Samuel, before hee knewe the Lord, and before the word of the Lord was reueiled vnto him.
8 Yehova anayitananso Samueli kachitatu ndipo Samueli anadzuka ndikupita kwa Eli ndipo anati, “Ndabwera popeza mwandiyitana ndithu.” Apo Eli anazindikira kuti Yehova ndiye ankayitana mnyamatayo.
And the Lord called Samuel againe the thirde time: and he arose, and went to Eli, and said, I am here: for thou hast called me. Then Eli perceiued that the Lord had called the childe.
9 Tsono Eli anamuwuza Samueli kuti, “Pita ukagone ndipo akakuyitananso ukanene kuti, ‘Yankhulani Yehova, pakuti mtumiki wanu ndikumvetsera.’” Choncho Samueli anapita ndi kukagona pamalo pake.
Therefore Eli saide vnto Samuel, Goe and sleepe: and if he call thee, then say, Speake Lord, for thy seruant heareth. So Samuel went, and slept in his place.
10 Yehova anabwera ndi kuyima pomwepo, ndi kuyitana monga nthawi zina zija, “Samueli! Samueli!” Ndipo Samueli anayankha, “Yankhulani, pakuti mtumiki wanu akumvetsera.”
And the Lord came, and stoode, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speake, for thy seruant heareth.
11 Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Samueli, “Taona, patsala pangʼono kuti ndichite chinthu china mu Israeli chimene chidzadabwitsa aliyense amene adzamve.
Then the Lord said to Samuel, Beholde, I wil doe a thing in Israel, whereof whosoeuer shall heare, his two eares shall tingle.
12 Tsiku limenelo ndidzachitadi zonse zimene ndinayankhula zokhudza banja la Eli kuyambira poyamba mpaka pomaliza.
In that day I will raise vp against Eli all things which I haue spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an ende.
13 Pakuti ndinamudziwitsa kuti Ine ndikhoza kulanga banja lake kwamuyaya chifukwa cha zoyipa zimene ana ake ankadziyipitsa nazo. Iye ankadziwa zimenezi koma osawaletsa.
And I haue tolde him that I will iudge his house for euer, for the iniquitie which hee knoweth, because his sonnes ranne into a slaunder, and he stayed them not.
14 Nʼchifukwa chake ndinalumbira kuti, ‘Zoyipa zimene banja la Eli linandichita sizidzafafanizidwa mpaka muyaya ngakhale adzapereke nsembe kapena zopereka zina.’”
Nowe therefore I haue sworne vnto the house of Eli, that the wickednes of Elis house, shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offring for euer.
15 Samueli anagona mpaka mmawa. Atadzuka anatsekula zitseko za Nyumba ya Yehova. Iye anachita mantha kumuwuza Eli za masomphenya ake.
Afterward Samuel slept vntil the morning, and opened the doores of the house of the Lord, and Samuel feared to shewe Eli the vision.
16 Koma Eli anamuyitana nati, “Samueli mwana wanga.” Samueli anayankha kuti, “Wawa.”
Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel my sonne. And he answered, Here I am.
17 Tsono Eli anafunsa kuti, “Yehova wakuwuza chiyani? Usandibisire. Mulungu akulange ndithu ngati undibisira chilichonse cha zimene wakuwuza.”
Then he said, What is it, that the Lord said vnto thee? I pray thee, hide it not from mee. God doe so to thee, and more also, if thou hide any thing from me, of all that he said vnto thee.
18 Choncho Samueli anamuwuza zonse, sanamubisire kalikonse. Ndipo Eli anati, “Iye ndi Yehova, mulekeni achite chimene chamukomera.”
So Samuel tolde him euery whit, and hid nothing from him. Then hee said, It is the Lord: let him do what seemeth him good.
19 Yehova anali ndi Samueli pamene amakula, ndipo zonse zimene ankayankhula zinkachitikadi.
And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground.
20 Ndipo Aisraeli onse kuyambira ku dera la Dani mpaka ku Beeriseba anazindikira kuti Yehova analozadi chala pa Samueli kuti akhale mneneri wake.
And all Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba knew that faithfull Samuel was the Lordes Prophet.
21 Yehova anapitiriza kuoneka ku Silo, ndipo kumeneko anadziwulula yekha kwa Samueli mwa mawu ake.
And the Lord appeared againe in Shiloh: for the Lord reueiled himselfe to Samuel in Shiloh by his word.
