1 Samuel 3
1 Camo Samuel teh Eli hmalah BAWIPA e thaw a tawk. Hat na tueng dawk BAWIPA e lawk ayounca dawkvah, vision awm hoeh.
And the child Samuel served Jehovah before Eli. And the word of Jehovah was precious in those days; there was no frequent vision.
2 Hatnae hnin dawk Eli teh a mit amom teh amae ikhun dawk a i lahun nah,
And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place (now his eyes had begun to grow dim so that he could not see),
3 Cathut thingkong a onae BAWIPA Cathut e hmaiim hmai due hoehnahlan, BAWIPA e Bawkim dawk Samuel a yan navah,
and the lamp of God was not yet gone out, and Samuel was laid down in the temple of Jehovah where the ark of God was,
4 BAWIPA ni Samuel a kaw teh, ahni ni hivah ka o atipouh.
that Jehovah called Samuel. And he said, Here I am.
5 Eli koe a yawng teh nang ni na kaw dawk kai ka tho telah atipouh. Eli ni ka ca kai ni na kaw hoeh, bout ip leih atipouh. Samuel teh a cei teh bout a i.
And he ran to Eli, and said, Here I am, for thou called me. And he said, I did not call. Lie down again. And he went and lay down.
6 BAWIPA ni Samuel bout a kaw, Samuel a thaw teh Eli koe bout a cei teh, hivah ka o bangkong kai na kaw telah atipouh. Ahni ni ka ca na kaw hoeh bo bout ip leih telah atipouh.
And Jehovah called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here I am, for thou called me. And he answered, I did not call, my son. Lie down again.
7 Hatnae tueng dawk Samuel ni BAWIPA panuek hoeh rah. BAWIPA e lawk hai ahni koe pâpho hoeh rah.
Now Samuel did not yet know Jehovah, neither was the word of Jehovah yet revealed to him.
8 BAWIPA ni Samuel hah apâthum lah bout a kaw, hatnavah a thaw teh, Eli koe a cei teh, bangkong kai na kaw hivah ka o atipouh. Hattoteh Eli ni camo heh BAWIPA ni a kaw tie a panue.
And Jehovah called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here I am, for thou called me. And Eli perceived that Jehovah had called the child.
9 Samuel koe cet nateh bout ip, bout na kaw pawiteh, BAWIPA lawk dei, na san kai ni ka thai na ti pouh han. Hottelah Samuel teh ama hmuen koe bout a i.
Therefore Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie down, and it shall be, if he calls thee, that thou shall say, Speak, Jehovah, for thy servant hears. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
10 BAWIPA teh ahmaloe e patetlah a tho teh kangdue laihoi Samuel Samuel telah a kaw. Samuel ni Oe BAWIPA dei haw, na san ni ka thai telah atipouh.
And Jehovah came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel said, Speak, for thy servant hears.
11 BAWIPA ni Samuel koevah thai haw, Isarel dawkvah kathainaw e hnâ kahni touh hoi kha sak hanelah, Isarel miphun dawk hno buetbuet touh ka sak han.
And Jehovah said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel at which both the ears of everyone who hears it shall tingle.
12 Hot hnin vah a imthung kong ka dei e pueng a kamtawngnae koehoi apout totouh Eli koe lah ka sak han.
In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even to the end.
13 A imthungnaw kai ni pout laipalah lawk ka ceng han telah ahni koe ka dei pouh toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnie a canaw teh, kahawi hoeh hno a sak awh nahlangva a canaw yue laipalah a onae yon dawk doeh.
For I have told him that I will judge his house forever, for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons brought a curse upon themselves, and he did not restrain them.
14 Hatdawkvah Eli imthungnaw e yon teh thuengnae hoi thuengnae hno ni tha thai hoeh, pou a cak han telah Eli imthung koe thoe ka bo toe.
And therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be expiated with sacrifice nor offering forever.
15 Samuel te amom totouh a i hnukkhu BAWIPA im takhang a paawng. Samuel ni vision hah Eli koe dei hane a taki.
And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Jehovah. And Samuel was afraid to show Eli the vision.
16 ELi ni Samuel a kaw teh, ka capa Samuel atipouh. Ahni ni kai hivah ka o telah atipouh.
Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he said, Here I am.
17 Eli ni nang koe BAWIPA ni a dei e hah bangmaw Kai koe bangcahai hrawk hanh. Nang koe a dei e naw pueng hah ka hmalah na hrawk pawiteh, nang koe Cathut ni sak naseh. Hothlak hoe kapaplah sak naseh telah atipouh.
And he said, What is the thing that Jehovah has spoken to thee? I pray thee, hide it not from me. God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide anything from me of all the things that he spoke to thee.
18 Samuel ni hno pueng koung a dei teh a hro e bang boehai tawn hoeh. Eli ni hai ahawi na tie patetlah BAWIPA ni sak na lawiseh telah a dei.
And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is Jehovah. Let him do what seems him good.
19 Samuel a roung teh BAWIPA ni ahni koe a okhai teh, a lawkkam touh boehai talai dawk bawt sak mahoeh.
And Samuel grew, and Jehovah was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground.
20 Samuel teh BAWIPA e a lawk ka tarawi e profet lah ao tie Dan kho hoi kamtawng teh, Beersheba kho apout totouh Isarel miphun pueng ni a panue awh.
And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of Jehovah.
21 BAWIPA ni Shiloh vah bout bout a kamnue pouh. BAWIPA e a lawk lahoi Samuel hah lawk a poe.
And Jehovah appeared again in Shiloh, for Jehovah revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of Jehovah.
