1 Samuel 3
1 And the boy Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli. Now in those days the word of the LORD was rare and visions were scarce.
Yaron nan Sama’ila ya yi hidima a gaban Ubangiji a ƙarƙashin Eli. A waɗannan kwanaki kuwa jin magana daga wurin Ubangiji ba safai ba, babu kuma wahayi da yawa.
2 And at that time Eli, whose eyesight had grown so dim that he could not see, was lying in his room.
Wata rana da dare Eli da idanunsa sun kusa makancewa har ba ya iya gani sosai yana kwance a inda ya saba.
3 Before the lamp of God had gone out, Samuel was lying down in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was located.
Fitilar Allah kuwa tana ci, ba tă mutu ba tukuna, Sama’ila kuma na kwance a haikali na Ubangiji inda akwai akwatin Allah.
4 Then the LORD called to Samuel, and he answered, “Here I am.”
Sai Ubangiji ya kira Sama’ila. Sama’ila ya amsa ya ce, “Ga ni.”
5 He ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you have called me.” “I did not call,” Eli replied. “Go back and lie down.” So he went and lay down.
Sai ya ruga wajen Eli ya ce, “Ga ni, gama ka kira ni.” Eli ya ce, “Ɗana ban kira ba, je ka kwanta”. Saboda haka ya tafi ya kwanta.
6 Once again the LORD called, “Samuel!” So Samuel got up, went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you have called me.” “My son, I did not call,” Eli replied. “Go back and lie down.”
Ubangiji ya sāke kiransa ya ce, “Sama’ila!” Sama’ila ya tashi kuma ya je wurin Eli ya ce, “Ga ni, gama ka kira ni.” Amma Eli ya ce, “Ban kira ka ba, ɗana koma ka kwanta.”
7 Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, because the word of the LORD had not yet been revealed to him.
Sama’ila dai bai riga ya san Ubangiji ba tukuna. Ba a kuma taɓa bayyana maganar Ubangiji a gare shi ba tukuna ba.
8 Once again, for the third time, the LORD called to Samuel. He got up, went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you have called me.” Then Eli realized that it was the LORD who was calling the boy.
Ubangiji ya kira Sama’ila sau na uku, Sama’ila kuma ya tashi ya tafi wurin Eli, “Ga ni, gama ka kira ni.” Sai Eli ya gane cewa Ubangiji ne ke kira yaron.
9 “Go and lie down,” he said to Samuel, “and if He calls you, say, ‘Speak, LORD, for Your servant is listening.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
Saboda haka, Eli ya gaya wa Sama’ila cewa, “Je ka kwanta, in kuma ya kira ka, ka ce masa, ‘Ya Ubangiji ka yi magana gama bawanka yana saurara.’” Sama’ila ya koma ya kwanta a wurin kwanciyarsa.
10 Then the LORD came and stood there, calling as before, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel answered, “Speak, for Your servant is listening.”
Ubangiji kuma ya zo ya tsaya a wurin, yana kira ya ce, “Sama’ila, Sama’ila!” Kamar yadda ya kira a lokutan baya. Sai Sama’ila ya ce, “Yi magana gama bawanka yana saurara.”
11 Then the LORD said to Samuel, “I am about to do something in Israel at which the ears of all who hear it will tingle.
Ubangiji ya ce wa Sama’ila, “Duba ina dab da yin wani abu a Isra’ila da zai sa kunne kowa da yake ji, yă ji tsoro.
12 On that day I will carry out against Eli everything I have spoken about his family, from beginning to end.
A ranar zan cika dukan maganar da na yi game da Eli da iyalinsa, daga farko har ƙarshe.
13 I told him that I would judge his house forever for the iniquity of which he knows, because his sons blasphemed God and he did not restrain them.
Gama na gaya masa zan hukunta gidansa har abada saboda zunubin da yake sane da shi;’ya’yansa sun wulaƙantar da kansu, shi kuma bai tsawata musu ba.
14 Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli, ‘The iniquity of Eli’s house shall never be atoned for by sacrifice or offering.’”
Saboda haka na rantse a kan gidan Eli, ‘Ba za a taɓa shafe laifin gidan Eli da hadaya ko baiko ba.’”
15 Samuel lay down until the morning; then he opened the doors of the house of the LORD. He was afraid to tell Eli the vision,
Sama’ila kuwa ya kwanta har safe, sa’an nan ya buɗe ƙofofin gidan Ubangiji. Ya ji tsoro yă gaya wa Eli wahayin,
16 but Eli called to him and said, “Samuel, my son.” “Here I am,” answered Samuel.
amma Eli ya kira shi ya ce, “Sama’ila, ɗana.” Sama’ila ya ce, “Ga ni.”
17 “What was the message He gave you?” Eli asked. “Do not hide it from me. May God punish you, and ever so severely, if you hide from me anything He said to you.”
Eli ya ce, mene ne ya ce maka? Kada ka ɓoye mini. Allah ya yi da kai har ma fiye in ka ɓoye mini kome da ya ce maka.
18 So Samuel told him everything and did not hide a thing from him. “He is the LORD,” replied Eli. “Let Him do what is good in His eyes.”
Don haka sai Sama’ila ya gaya masa kome bai ɓoye masa kome ba. Sa’an nan Eli ya ce, “Shi ne Ubangiji bari yă yi abin da ya yi kyau a gare shi.”
19 And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and He let none of Samuel’s words fall to the ground.
Ubangiji kuwa yana tare da Sama’ila har girmansa bai kuma bar ko ɗaya daga maganarsa ta kāsa cika ba.
20 So all Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel was confirmed as a prophet of the LORD.
Dukan Isra’ila daga Dan har Beyersheba suka shaida amincin Sama’ila annabi ne na Ubangiji.
21 And the LORD continued to appear at Shiloh, because there He revealed Himself to Samuel by His word.
Ubangiji kuwa ya dinga bayyana a Shilo, a nan ya bayyana kansa ga Sama’ila ta wurin maganarsa.
