1 Samuel 3
1 Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the Lord before Eli, and the word of the Lord was precious in those days; there was no manifest vision.
Alò, Samuel te sèvi SENYÈ a devan Éli. Yon pawòl soti nan SENYÈ a te ra nan jou sa yo, e vizyon yo pa t fèt souvan.
2 Then it happened that, on a certain day, Eli was lying in his place. And his eyes had dimmed, so that he was unable to see.
Li te rive nan lè sa a ke pandan Éli te kouche nan plas li, (alò, vizyon li te kòmanse febli; li pa t kab wè byen),
3 And so, to prevent the lamp of God from going out, Samuel was sleeping in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was.
epi lanp Bondye a potko etenn e Samuel te kouche nan tanp SENYÈ a kote lach Bondye a te ye a,
4 And the Lord called Samuel. And responding, he said, “Here I am.”
ke SENYÈ a te rele Samuel. Li te reponn: “Men mwen isit la!”
5 And he ran to Eli, and he said, “Here I am. For you called me.” And he said: “I did not call. Return and sleep.” And he went away, and he slept.
Alò, li te kouri vè Éli e te di: “Men mwen, paske ou te rele m.” Men Éli te di: “Mwen pa t rele ou. Ale kouche ankò.” Konsa, li te retounen kouche.
6 And again, the Lord continued to call to Samuel. And rising up, Samuel went to Eli, and he said: “Here I am. For you called me.” And he responded: “I did not call you, my son. Return and sleep.”
Senyè a te rele ankò: “Samuel!” Konsa, Samuel te leve, li te ale vè Éli. Li te di: “Men mwen, paske ou te rele m.” Men li te reponn: “Mwen pa t rele ou, fis mwen, ale kouche ankò.”
7 Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, and the word of the Lord had not been revealed to him.
Alò, Samuel potko konnen SENYÈ a, ni pawòl SENYÈ a potko revele a li.
8 And the Lord continued, and he called to Samuel still a third time. And rising up, he went to Eli.
Alò, SENYÈ a te rele Samuel ankò pou yon twazyèm fwa. Epi li te leve ale vè Éli. Li te di: “Men mwen, paske ou te rele mwen.” Konsa, Éli te vin apèsi ke SENYÈ a t ap rele gason an.
9 And he said: “Here I am. For you called me.” Then Eli understood that the Lord had called the boy. And he said to Samuel: “Go and sleep. And if he calls to you from now on, you will say, ‘Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.’” Therefore, Samuel went away, and he slept in his place.
Epi Éli te di a Samuel: “Ale kouche e li va fèt ke si Li rele ou, ke ou va di: ‘Pale, SENYÈ a, paske sèvitè ou ap koute ou.’” Konsa, Samuel te ale kouche nan plas li.
10 And the Lord came, and stood, and he called, just as he had called the other times, “Samuel, Samuel.” And Samuel said, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.”
Alò SENYÈ a te vin kanpe e Li te rele tankou lòt fwa yo: “Samuel! Samuel!” Epi Samuel te di: “Pale, paske sèvitè ou ap koute ou.”
11 And the Lord said to Samuel: “Behold, I am accomplishing a word in Israel. Whoever will hear about it, both his ears will ring.
SENYÈ a te di a Samuel: “Veye byen, Mwen prèt pou fè yon bagay an Israël k ap fè zòrèy tout moun an Israël vin toudi.
12 In that day, I will raise up against Eli all the things that I have spoken over his house. I will begin, and I will finish.
Nan jou sa a, Mwen va pote kont Éli tout sa ke M te pale selon lakay li, soti nan kòmansman, jiska lafen.
13 For I have foretold to him that I will judge his house unto eternity, because of iniquity. For he had known that his sons acted shamefully, and he did not chastise them.
Paske Mwen te di li ke Mwen prèt pou jije lakay li pou tout tan pou inikite ke li te konnen yo. Akoz fis li yo te mennen yon madichon sou pwòp tèt yo, e li pa t repwoche yo.
14 For this reason, I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of his house will not be expiated, with victims or with gifts, even forever.”
Pou sa, mwen te fè temwen anvè lakay Éli ke inikite lakay Éli p ap padone, ni avèk ofrann, ni avèk sakrifis.”
15 Then Samuel slept until morning, and he opened the doors of the house of the Lord. And Samuel was afraid to tell the vision to Eli.
Konsa, Samuel te kouche jis rive nan maten. Li te ouvri pòt lakay SENYÈ a. Men li te krent pou pale Éli vizyon an.
16 Then Eli called Samuel, and he said, “Samuel, my son?” And responding, he said, “I am here.”
Alò, Éli te rele Samuel e te di: “Samuel, fis mwen.” Epi li te di: “Men mwen.”
17 And he questioned him: “What is the word that the Lord has spoken to you? I beg you that you may not conceal it from me. May God do these things to you, and may he add these other things, if you hide from me one word out of all the things that were told to you.”
Li te di: “Ki pawòl ke Li te pale ou a? Souple, pa kache l pou mwen. Ke Bondye fè l konsa a ou menm, e menm plis osi, si ou kache yon bagay a mwen nan tout pawòl ke li te pale ou yo.”
18 And so, Samuel revealed to him all the words, and he did not hide them from him. And he responded: “He is the Lord. May he do what is good in his own eyes.”
Konsa, Samuel te di li tout bagay. Li pa t kache anyen a li menm. Epi li te di: “Li se SENYÈ a; kite Li fè sa ki sanble bon pou Li menm.”
19 And Samuel grew up, and the Lord was with him, and not one of his words fell to the ground.
Konsa, Samuel te grandi, SENYÈ a te avèk li e Li pa t kite okenn nan pawòl li yo manke reyisi.
20 And all of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, knew Samuel to be a faithful prophet of the Lord.
Tout Israël soti nan Dan jis rive menm Beer-Schéba te konnen ke Samuel te konfime kòm yon pwofèt a SENYÈ a.
21 And the Lord continued to appear in Shiloh. For the Lord had revealed himself to Samuel at Shiloh, according to the word of the Lord. And the word about Samuel went forth to all of Israel.
Epi SENYÈ a te vin parèt ankò nan Silo, paske SENYÈ a te revele Li menm a Samuel nan Silo selon pawòl Bondye a.
