1 Samuel 3
1 The child Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli. The LORD’s word was rare in those days. There were not many visions, then.
Camo Samuel teh Eli hmalah BAWIPA e thaw a tawk. Hat na tueng dawk BAWIPA e lawk ayounca dawkvah, vision awm hoeh.
2 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),
Hatnae hnin dawk Eli teh a mit amom teh amae ikhun dawk a i lahun nah,
3 and God’s lamp had not yet gone out, and Samuel had laid down in the LORD’s temple where God’s ark was,
Cathut thingkong a onae BAWIPA Cathut e hmaiim hmai due hoehnahlan, BAWIPA e Bawkim dawk Samuel a yan navah,
4 The LORD called Samuel. He said, “Here I am.”
BAWIPA ni Samuel a kaw teh, ahni ni hivah ka o atipouh.
5 He ran to Eli and said, “Here I am; for you called me.” He said, “I did not call. Lie down again.” He went and lay down.
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.
6 The LORD called yet again, “Samuel!” Samuel arose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; for you called me.” He answered, “I did not call, my son. Lie down again.”
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.
7 Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the LORD’s word yet revealed to him.
Hatnae tueng dawk Samuel ni BAWIPA panuek hoeh rah. BAWIPA e lawk hai ahni koe pâpho hoeh rah.
8 The LORD called Samuel again the third time. He arose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; for you called me.” Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.
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.
9 Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down. It shall be, if he calls you, that you shall say, ‘Speak, LORD; for your servant hears.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
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.
10 The LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel said, “Speak; for your servant hears.”
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.
11 The LORD said to Samuel, “Behold, I will do a thing in Israel at which both the ears of everyone who hears it will tingle.
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.
12 In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even to the end.
Hot hnin vah a imthung kong ka dei e pueng a kamtawngnae koehoi apout totouh Eli koe lah ka sak han.
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 on themselves, and he did not restrain them.
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.
14 Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be removed with sacrifice or offering forever.”
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.
15 Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the LORD’s house. Samuel was afraid to show Eli the vision.
Samuel te amom totouh a i hnukkhu BAWIPA im takhang a paawng. Samuel ni vision hah Eli koe dei hane a taki.
16 Then Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son!” He said, “Here I am.”
ELi ni Samuel a kaw teh, ka capa Samuel atipouh. Ahni ni kai hivah ka o telah atipouh.
17 He said, “What is the thing that he has spoken to you? Please do not hide it from me. God do so to you, and more also, if you hide anything from me of all the things that he spoke to you.”
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.
18 Samuel told him every bit, and hid nothing from him. He said, “It is the LORD. Let him do what seems good to him.”
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.
19 Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground.
Samuel a roung teh BAWIPA ni ahni koe a okhai teh, a lawkkam touh boehai talai dawk bawt sak mahoeh.
20 All Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.
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.
21 The LORD appeared again in Shiloh; for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the LORD’s word.
BAWIPA ni Shiloh vah bout bout a kamnue pouh. BAWIPA e a lawk lahoi Samuel hah lawk a poe.
