1 Samuel 3

1 And the child Samuel served Jehovah before Eli. And the word of Jehovah was precious in those days; there was no frequent vision.

Samuẹli ọmọkùnrin náà ṣe òjíṣẹ́ níwájú Olúwa ní abẹ́ Eli. Ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ṣọ̀wọ́n: kò sì sí ìran púpọ̀.

2 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),

Ní alẹ́ ọjọ́ kan Eli ẹni tí ojú rẹ̀ ti bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí di aláìlágbára, tí kò sì ríran dáradára, ó dùbúlẹ̀ ní ipò rẹ̀ bi ti àtẹ̀yìnwá.

3 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,

Nígbà tí iná kò tí ì kú Samuẹli dùbúlẹ̀ nínú tẹmpili Olúwa, níbi tí àpótí Olúwa gbé wà.

4 that Jehovah called Samuel. And he said, Here I am.

Nígbà náà ni Olúwa pe Samuẹli. Samuẹli sì dáhùn, “Èmi nìyí.”

5 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.

Ó sì sáré lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ Eli ó sì wí pé, “Èmi nìyí nítorí pé ìwọ pè mí.” Ṣùgbọ́n Eli wí fún un pé, “Èmi kò pè ọ́; padà lọ dùbúlẹ̀.” Nítorí náà ó lọ ó sì lọ dùbúlẹ̀.

6 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.

Olúwa sì tún pè é, “Samuẹli!” Samuẹli tún dìde ó tọ Eli lọ, ó sì wí pé, “Èmi nìyìí, nítorí tí ìwọ pè mí.” “Ọmọ mi, èmi kò pè ọ́, padà lọ dùbúlẹ̀.”

7 Now Samuel did not yet know Jehovah, neither was the word of Jehovah yet revealed to him.

Ní àkókò yìí Samuẹli kò tí ì mọ̀ Olúwa: bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kò sì tí ì fi ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa hàn án.

8 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.

Olúwa pe Samuẹli ní ìgbà kẹta, Samuẹli sì tún dìde, ó sì lọ sọ́dọ̀ Eli ó sì wí pé, “Èmi nìyìí; nítorí tí ìwọ pè mí.” Nígbà náà ni Eli wá mọ̀ pé Olúwa ni ó ń pe ọmọ náà.

9 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.

Nítorí náà Eli sọ fún Samuẹli, “Lọ kí o lọ dùbúlẹ̀. Tí o bá sì pè ọ́, sọ wí pé, ‘Máa wí, Olúwa nítorí tí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ń gbọ́.’” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Samuẹli lọ, ó sì lọ dùbúlẹ̀ ní ààyè rẹ̀.

10 And Jehovah came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel said, Speak, for thy servant hears.

Olúwa wá, ó sì dúró níbẹ̀, ó pè é bí ó ṣe pè é ní ìgbà tí ó kọjá, “Samuẹli! Samuẹli!” Nígbà náà ni Samuẹli dáhùn pé, “Máa wí nítorí tí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ń gbọ́.”

11 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.

Olúwa sọ fún Samuẹli pé, “Wò ó, èmi ṣetán láti ṣe ohun kan ní Israẹli tí yóò jẹ́ kí etí gbogbo ènìyàn tí ó gbọ́ ọ já gooro.

12 In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even to the end.

Ní ìgbà náà ni èmi yóò mú ohun gbogbo tí mo ti sọ sí ilé Eli ṣẹ láti ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ dé òpin.

13 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.

Nítorí èmi sọ fún un pé, Èmi yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ fún ilé rẹ̀ títí láé nítorí ìwà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn tí òun mọ̀ nípa rẹ̀ nítorí àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ sọ ọ̀rọ̀-òdì, òun kò sì dá wọn lẹ́kun.

14 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.

Nítorí náà, mo búra sí ilé Eli, ‘Ìwà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ilé Eli ni a kì yóò fi ẹbọ tàbí ọrẹ mú kúrò láéláé.’”

15 And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Jehovah. And Samuel was afraid to show Eli the vision.

Samuẹli dùbúlẹ̀ títí di òwúrọ̀ nígbà náà ó sì ṣí ìlẹ̀kùn ilé Olúwa, ó sì bẹ̀rù láti sọ ìran náà fún Eli.

16 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he said, Here I am.

Ṣùgbọ́n Eli pè é, ó sì wí pé, “Samuẹli, ọmọ mi.” Samuẹli sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi nìyìí.”

17 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.

Eli béèrè pé, “Kín ni ohun tí ó sọ fún ọ?” “Má ṣe fi pamọ́ fún mi. Kí Ọlọ́run mi ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ sí ọ àti jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ pẹ̀lú, bí ìwọ bá fi ohunkóhun tí ó wí fún ọ pamọ́ fún mi.”

18 And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is Jehovah. Let him do what seems him good.

Samuẹli sọ gbogbo rẹ̀ fún un, kò sì fi ohun kankan pamọ́ fún un. Nígbà náà Eli wí pé, “Òun ni Olúwa; jẹ́ kí ó ṣe ohun tí ó dára ní ojú rẹ̀.”

19 And Samuel grew, and Jehovah was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground.

Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú Samuẹli bí ó ṣe ń dàgbà, kò sì jẹ́ kí ọ̀kan nínú ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ kùnà.

20 And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of Jehovah.

Gbogbo Israẹli láti Dani títí dé Beerṣeba mọ̀ pé a ti fa Samuẹli kalẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí wòlíì Olúwa.

21 And Jehovah appeared again in Shiloh, for Jehovah revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of Jehovah.

Olúwa sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní fi ara hàn án ní Ṣilo, nítorí Olúwa ti fi ará hàn án fún Samuẹli ní Ṣilo nípa ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa.
