< Kings I 3 >
1 And the child Samuel ministered to the Lord before Heli the priest: and the word of the Lord was precious in those days, there was no distinct vision.
Ug ang bata nga si Samuel nag-alagad kang Jehova sa atubangan ni Eli. Ug ang pulong ni Jehova bililhon niadtong mga adlawa, niadto walay panan-awon nga kanunay.
2 And it came to pass at that time that Heli was sleeping in his place; and his eyes began to fail, and could not see.
Ug kini nahitabo niadtong panahona, sa naghigda na si Eli sa iyang dapit (karon ang iyang mga mata nagsugod na sa pagkahalap, mao nga siya dili na makakita),
3 And the lamp of God [was burning] before it was trimmed, and Samuel slept in the temple, where [was] the ark of God.
Ug ang lamparahan sa Dios wala pa mapalong, ug si Samuel gipahigda aron matulog, sa sulod sa templo ni Jehova, diin didto ang arca sa Dios;
4 And the Lord called, Samuel, Samuel; and he said, Behold, [here am] I.
Nga si Jehova nagtawag kang Samuel: ug siya miingon: Ania ako.
5 And he ran to Heli, and said, [Here am] I, for you did call me: and he said, I did not call you; return, go to sleep; and he returned and went to sleep.
Ug siya midalagan ngadto kang Eli, ug miingon: Ania ako; kay ikaw nagtawag kanako. Ug siya miingon: Ako wala magtawag; humigda ka pag-usab. Ug siya mipahawa ug mihigda.
6 And the Lord called again, Samuel, Samuel: and he went to Heli the second time, and said, Behold [here am] I, for you did call me: and he said, I called you not; return, go to sleep.
Ug si Jehova mitawag pag-usab: Samuel. Ug si Samuel mibangon ug miadto kang Eli, ug miingon: Ania ako; kay ikaw nagtawag kanako. Ug siya mitubag: Ako wala magtawag, anak ko; humigda ka pag-usab.
7 And [it was] before Samuel knew the Lord, and [before] the word of the Lord was revealed to him.
Karon si Samuel wala pa makaila kang Jehova, ni ang pulong ni Jehova napahayag na kaniya.
8 And the Lord called Samuel again for the third time: and he arose and went to Heli, and said, Behold, I [am here], for you did call me: and Heli perceived that the Lord [had] called the child.
Ug si Jehova nagtawag pag-usab kang Samuel sa ikatolo. Ug siya mibangon ug miadto kang Eli, ug miingon: Ania ako; kay ikaw nagtawag kanako. Ug si Eli nakasabut nga ang bata gitawag ni Jehova.
9 And he said, Return, child, go to sleep; and it shall come to pass if he shall call you, that you shall say, Speak for your servant hears: and Samuel went and lay down in his place.
Busa si Eli miingon kang Samuel: Lakaw, higda: ug mamao kini, kong siya magtawag kanimo, ikaw magaingon: Sulti, Jehova; kay ang imong sulogoon mamati. Busa si Samuel miadto ug mihigda sa iyang dapit.
10 And the Lord came, and stood, and called him as before: and Samuel said, Speak, for your servant hears.
Ug si Jehova miabut ug mitindog ug nagtawag ingon sa uban nga mga panahon: Samuel, Samuel. Unya si Samuel miingon: Sulti; kay ang imong sulogoon namati.
11 And the Lord said to Samuel, Behold, I execute my words in Israel; whoever hears them, both his ears shall tingle.
Ug si Jehova miingon kang Samuel: Ania karon, ako magahimo ug usa ka butang sa Israel, nga niana ang duha ka igdulungog sa tagsatagsa nga makadungog magasiyuk.
12 In that day I will raise up against Heli all things that I have said against his house; I will begin, and I will make an end.
Nianang adlawa ako magahimo batok kang Eli sa tanan nga akong gipamulong mahitungod sa iyang balay, sukad sa sinugdan bisan hangtud sa katapusan.
13 And I have told him that I will be avenged on his house perpetually for the iniquities of his sons, because his sons spoke evil against God, and he did not admonish them.
Kay ako nagsugilon kaniya nga ako ang magahukom sa iyang balay sa walay katapusan, tungod sa kasal-anan nga iyang nahibaloan, tungod kay ang iyang mga anak nga lalake nanagdala ug tunglo sa ilang kaugalingon, ug siya wala magbadlong kanila.
14 And [it shall] not [go on] so; I have sworn to the house of Eli, the iniquity of the house of Eli shall not be atoned for with incense or sacrifices for ever.
Ug busa ako nakapanumpa sa balay ni Eli, nga ang kasal-anan sa balay ni Eli, dili kabayran ug halad ni sa hatag sa walay katapusan.
15 And Samuel slept till morning, and rose early in the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the Lord; and Samuel feared to tell [Heli] the vision.
Ug si Samuel mihigda hangtud sa pagkabuntag, ug miabli sa mga pultahan sa balay ni Jehova. Ug si Samuel nahadlok sa pagpahibalo kang Eli sa panan-awon.
16 And Heli said to Samuel, Samuel, [my] son; and he said, Behold, [here am] I.
Unya si Eli nagtawag kang Samuel, ug miingon: Samuel, anak ko. Ug siya miingon: Ania ako.
17 And he said, What [was] the word that was spoken to you? I pray you hide it not from me: may God do these things to you, and more also, if you hide from me any thing of all the words that were spoken to you in your ears.
Ug siya miingon: Unsa ang butang nga gisulti ni Jehova kanimo? Ako nagahangyo kanimo, ayaw kana pagitungina kanako: Ang Dios magahimo unta sa ingon kanimo ug labi pa gayud usab kong ikaw magtungina sa bisan unsa kanako sa tanang mga butang nga iyang gisulti kanimo.
18 And Samuel reported all the words, and hid them not from him. And Heli said, He [is] the Lord, he shall do that which is good in his sight.
Ug si Samuel nagsugilon kaniya sa tanan ug wala magtago sa bisan unsa gikan kaniya. Ug siya miingon: Kadto mao si Jehova: ipabuhat kaniya kong unsay maayo kaniya.
19 And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and there did not fall one of his words to the ground.
Ug si Samuel nagtubo, ug si Jehova nag-uban kaniya, ug wala magatugot nga may mahulog sa iyang pulong sa yuta.
20 And all Israel knew from Dan even to Bersabee, that Samuel [was] faithful as a prophet to the Lord.
Ug ang tibook Israel gikan sa Dan bisan ngadto sa Beer-seba nanghibalo nga si Samuel nahimutang aron mahimo nga usa ka manalagna ni Jehova.
21 And the Lord manifested himself again in Selom, for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel; and Samuel was accredited to all Israel as a prophet to the Lord from one end of the land to the other: and Heli [was] very old, and his sons kept advancing [in wickedness], and their way [was] evil before the Lord.
Ug si Jehova nagpakita na usab didto sa Silo; kay si Jehova nagpakita sa iyang kaugalingon kang Samuel didto sa Silo pinaagi sa pulong ni Jehova.
