1 Samuel 3
1 Camoe Samuel tah Eli mikhmuh ah BOEIPA hamla thotat. Te vaeng tue ah BOEIPA kah ol khaw kuelka pueng tih mangthui khaw pungtai pawh.
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 Te khohnin ah Eli tah a hmuen ah yalh. A mik khaw hmaang coeng tih hmu thai voel pawh.
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 Pathen kah hmaiim a thih hlanah Samuel khaw BOEIPA kah bawkim ah yalh. Teah te Pathen kah thingkawng om.
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 Te vaengah Samuel te BOEIPA loh a khue hatah, “Kai ka om he,” a ti nah.
and YHWH calls to Samuel, and he says, “Here I [am].”
5 Te phoeiah Eli taengla yong tih, “Kai nang khue tih ka om ta he,” a ti nah. Tedae, “Kang khue moenih, bal lamtah yalh laeh,” a ti nah vanbangla cet tih yalh.
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 Te phoeiah Samuel a khue te BOEIPA loh koep a rhaep. Te dongah Samuel te thoo tih Eli taengla cet. Te vaengah, “Kai nang khue tih ka om ta he,” a ti nah. Tedae, “Ka ca, kan khue moenih, bal lamtah yalh laeh,” a ti nah.
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 Te vaengah Samuel loh BOEIPA te hmat hlan tih BOEIPA ol khaw anih taengah phoe hlan.
And Samuel has not yet known YHWH, and the word of YHWH is not yet revealed to him.
8 A pathum dongah khaw BOEIPA loh a rhaep tih Samuel te a khue. Te dongah a thoh hang neh Eli taengla cet tih, “Kai nang khue tih ka om ta he,” a ti nah. Te daengah camoe te BOEIPA loh a khue tila Eli loh a yakming.
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 Te vaengah Samuel te Eli loh, “Cet lamtah yalh laeh, nang te ng'khue atah, 'BOEIPA han thui lah, Na sal long he ka hnatun ngawn,’ ti nah,” a ti nah. Te dongah Samuel te cet tih amah hmuen ah koep yalh.
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 Te phoeiah BOEIPA te ha pawk tih pai. A noek noek kah bangla, “Samuel, Samuel,” a ti nah. Samuel loh, “Na sal long he ka hnatun dongah han thui ngawn,” a ti nah.
And YHWH comes, and stations Himself, and calls as time by time, “Samuel, Samuel”; and Samuel says, “Speak, for Your servant is hearing.”
11 Te daengah Samuel te BOEIPA loh, “Israel ah hno ka saii coeng ne. Te te aka ya boeih ham a hna bok umya bitni.
And YHWH says to Samuel, “Behold, I am doing a thing in Israel, at which the two ears of everyone hearing it tingle.
12 Tekah khohnin dongah a imkhui ah ka thui ham ka tong tih ka khah boeih nen te Eli ka pai thil ni.
In that day I establish to Eli all that I have spoken to his house, beginning and completing;
13 Amah im ah kai loh lai ka tloek te amah taengah ka puen coeng. Kumhal duela thaesainah te a ming. A ca rhoi te pamdah tih amih rhoi taengah a ueih moenih.
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 Eli imkhui te ka toemngam coeng dongah Eli imkhui kathaesainah a dalh te hmueih nen khaw khocang nen khaw kumhal duela dawth boel saeh,” a ti nah.
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 Samuel khaw mincang duela yalh tih BOEIPA im kah thohkhaih te a ong. Tedae a manghmuhnah te Eli taengah thui ham Samuel loh a rhih.
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 Tedae Samuel te, Eli loh a khue tih, “Ka ca Samuel,” a ti nah hatah, “Kai ka om he,” a ti nah.
And Eli calls Samuel and says, “Samuel, my son”; and he says, “Here I [am].”
17 Te phoeiah, “Nang taengah mebang ol lae a thui. Kai taengah phah boeh. Pathen loh nang ham a saii bitni. Nang taengah a thui ol boeih khuiah ol te kai taengah na phah vetih khoengvoep uh ve,” a ti nah.
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 Te daengah Samuel loh olka boeih te phah kolla Eli taengah a thui pah. Te vaengah, “BOEIPA amah loh a mikhmuh ah then a ti bangla saii nawn saeh,” a ti.
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 Samuel a puel hang vaengah BOEIPA khaw anih taengah om. Te vaengah BOEIPA ol pakhat khaw diklai la rhul sak pawh.
And Samuel grows up, and YHWH has been with him, and has not let any of his words fall to the earth;
20 Dan lamloh Beersheba duela Israel pum loh Samuel tah BOEIPA kah tonghma la cak coeng tila a ming uh.
and all Israel knows, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba, that Samuel is established for a prophet to YHWH.
21 Shiloh kah a phoe ham te BOEIPA loh a khoep. Te dongah BOEIPA tah BOEIPA ol nen ni Shiloh kah Samuel taengla a phoe pah.
And YHWH adds to appear in Shiloh, for YHWH has been revealed to Samuel, in Shiloh, by the word of YHWH.
