1 Samuel 3
1 Wuowino miluongo ni Samuel ne tiyo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye e bwo Eli. E kindeno wach Jehova Nyasaye ne nok kendo ne onge fweny mangʼeny.
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 Eli makoro wengene ne osechako imore kendo ne ok onyal neno maber, noyudo nindo e kare mapile.
And at that time, as Eli lay in his place, his eyes began to waxe dimme that he could not see.
3 To taya mar Nyasaye ne pok otho, Samuel bende ne nindo ei hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, kama Sandug Muma mar Nyasaye ne nitie.
And yet the light of God went out, Samuel slept in the temple of the Lord, where the Arke of God was.
4 Eka Jehova Nyasaye noluongo Samuel. Samuel nodwoko niya, “Era ee.”
Then the Lord called Samuel: and hee said, Here I am.
5 Eka noringo odhi ir Eli mowacho niya, “Era ee; nikech ne iluonga.” To Eli nowachone niya, “Ne ok aluongi dog inindi.” Omiyo nodok monindo.
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 Kendo Jehova Nyasaye nochako oluongo niya, “Samuel!” Eka Samuel nochungʼ modhi ir Eli mowachone niya, “Era ee, nikech ne iluonga.” Eli nowachone niya, “Wuoda, an ne ok aluongi dog inindi.”
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 E kindeno Samuel ne pod ok ongʼeyo Jehova Nyasaye nikech wach Jehova Nyasaye ne pok ofwenyorene.
Thus did Samuel, before hee knewe the Lord, and before the word of the Lord was reueiled vnto him.
8 Jehova Nyasaye ne ochako oluongo Samuel mar adek kendo Samuel noa malo modhi ir Eli mowachone niya, “Era ee nikech iluonga.” Eka Eli nofwenyo ni kara Jehova Nyasaye ema, luongo wuowino.
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 Omiyo Eli nowacho ni Samuel niya, “Dhiyo inindi, to ka oluongi to iwach ni, ‘Wuo Jehova Nyasaye, nikech jatichni winjo.’” Samuel ne odok monindo kare.
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 Jehova Nyasaye nobiro mochungʼ kanyo moluongo kaka nosebedo kotimo, “Samuel! Samuel!” Samuel nowachone niya, “Wuo nikech jatichni winjo.”
And the Lord came, and stoode, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speake, for thy seruant heareth.
11 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Samuel niya, “Ne adhi timo gimoro e Israel mabiro miyo ji duto mowinjo itgi nosakni.
Then the Lord said to Samuel, Beholde, I wil doe a thing in Israel, whereof whosoeuer shall heare, his two eares shall tingle.
12 E kindeno abiro chopo weche mane awacho kuom Eli ka akwede kod mane awacho kuom ode aa chakruok nyaka giko.
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 Nimar ne anyise ni abiro ngʼado bura ne joode nyaka chiengʼ nikech richono mane ongʼeyo, yawuote ne timo timbe maricho, to ne ok okwerogi.
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 Emomiyo nasingora ne dhood Eli ni, ‘Richogi ok nyal pwodh gi misango kata chiwo.’”
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 Samuel nonindo nyaka okinyi eka noyawo dhoudi mag od Jehova Nyasaye. Noluor wacho ne Eli fweny,
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 to Eli noluonge mowachone niya, “Samuel wuoda.” Samuel nodwoke niya, “Era ee.”
Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel my sonne. And he answered, Here I am.
17 Eli nopenje niya, “En angʼo mane owachoni? Kik ipanda wach. Mad Nyasaye chwadi matek ka dipo ni ipandona gimoro amora ma onyisi.”
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 Omiyo Samuel nonyise weche duto ma ok opandone gimoro. Eka Eli nowachone niya, “En e Jehova Nyasaye, we otim gima oneno ni longʼone.”
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 Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kod Samuel kaka nomedo dongo kendo weche duto mane owacho onge mane kadho ma ok otimore kamano.
And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground.
20 Jo-Israel duto koa Dan nyaka Bersheba, nofwenyo ni Samuel oseromo bedo janabi mar Jehova Nyasaye.
And all Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba knew that faithfull Samuel was the Lordes Prophet.
21 Jehova Nyasaye nomedo fwenyore e Shilo kendo kanyo ne ofwenyore owuon ne Samuel kuom wachne.
And the Lord appeared againe in Shiloh: for the Lord reueiled himselfe to Samuel in Shiloh by his word.
