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.
Na i te minita te tamaiti, a Hamuera, ki a Ihowa i te aroaro o Eri. A he taonga momohanga te kupu a Ihowa i aua ra; kahore he whakakitenga nui.
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.
Na i taua wa kei te takoto a Eri i tona wahi, kua timata hoki ona kanohi te atarua, kahore hoki i ata kite:
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.
Na kahore ano te rama a te Atua kia pirau noa, a i te takoto a Hamuera, he moe, i roto i te temepara o Ihowa, i te wahi i tu ai te aaka a te Atua;
4 And the Lord called Samuel. And responding, he said, “Here I am.”
Na ka karanga a Ihowa ki a Hamuera; ka mea tera, Tenei ahau.
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.
Na ka rere ia ki a Eri, ka mea, Tenei ahau; i karanga ake na hoki koe ki ahau. Na ka mea tera, Kihai ahau i karanga; hoki atu ki te takoto. Na haere ana ia, takoto ana.
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.”
Na ka karanga ano hoki a Ihowa, E Hamuera. A ka whakatika a Hamuera, haere ana ki a Eri, ka mea, Tenei ahau; i karanga ake na hoki koe ki ahau. Na ka mea tera, Kihai ahau i karanga, e taku tamaiti: hoki atu ki te takoto.
7 Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, and the word of the Lord had not been revealed to him.
Na kahore a Hamuera i mohio noa ki a Ihowa, kahore ano hoki te kupu a Ihowa i whakapuakina noatia ki a ia.
8 And the Lord continued, and he called to Samuel still a third time. And rising up, he went to Eli.
Na ka karanga ano a Ihowa i a Hamuera, ko te tuatoru o nga karangatanga. A ka whakatika ia, ka haere ki a Eri, ka mea, Tenei ahau: i karanga ake na hoki koe ki ahau. Na ka mohio a Eri ko Ihowa tera i karanga ra ki te tamaiti.
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.
Na ka mea a Eri ki a Hamuera, Haere ki te takoto: a ki te karanga ia ki a koe, ka mea ake koe, Korero e Ihowa; e whakarongo ana hoki tau pononga. Heoi, haere ana a Hamuera, a takoto ana i tona wahi.
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.”
Na ka haere mai a Ihowa, ka tu, ka karanga, ka pera me era karangatanga, E Hamuera, e Hamuera. Katahi ka mea a Hamuera, Korero; e whakarongo ana hoki tau pononga.
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.
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hamuera, Nana, ka mahia e ahau he mahi i roto i a Iharaira, e paorooro ai nga taringa e rua o te hunga katoa e rangona ai.
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.
Ko te rangi tena e puta ake ai i ahau mo Eri nga mea katoa i korerotia e ahau mo tona whare: i te timatanga a ki te mutunga.
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.
Kua mea atu na hoki ahau ki a ia, ka whakawakia tona whare e ahau a ake ake, mo te kino i mohiotia na e ia; mo ta ana tama i mea ai, i tau ai he kanga ki a raua, a kihai ia i pehi i a raua.
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.”
Na reira kua oati ahau mo te whare o Eri, E kore e tau te patunga tapu, te whakahere totokore ranei, hei pure mo te kino o te whare o Eri a ake ake.
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.
Na takoto tonu a Hamuera a tae noa ki te ata, na uakina ana e ia nga tatau o te whare o Ihowa. A i wehi a Hamuera ki te whakaatu ki a Eri i te mea i whakakitea mai ki a ia.
16 Then Eli called Samuel, and he said, “Samuel, my son?” And responding, he said, “I am here.”
Na ka karanga a Eri ki a Hamuera, ka mea, E Hamuera, e taku tamaiti; a ka mea tera, Tenei ahau.
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.”
Na ka mea ia, Tena koa te kupu i korerotia e Ihowa ki a koe? Kaua ra e huna ki ahau: kia meatia tenei e te Atua ki a koe, etahi atu mea ano hoki, ki te huna e koe i ahau tetahi o nga kupu katoa i korerotia e ia ki a koe.
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.”
Na ka korerotia nga kupu katoa e Hamuera ki a ia, kihai hoki i huna tetahi mea i a ia. Na ka mea tera, Na Ihowa ra hoki: mana e mea ta tona whakaaro i pai ai.
19 And Samuel grew up, and the Lord was with him, and not one of his words fell to the ground.
Nawai a ka kaumatua a Hamuera, a noho ana a Ihowa ki a ia, kihai hoki tetahi o ana kupu i tukua e ia kia taka ki te whenua.
20 And all of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, knew Samuel to be a faithful prophet of the Lord.
A i mohi a Iharaira katoa, o Rana a tae noa ki Peerehepa, kua whakapumautia a Hamuera hei poropiti ma Ihowa.
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.
A i puta mai ano a Ihowa i Hiro: i whakaatu ano hoki a Ihowa i a ia ki a Hamuera i Hiro, he mea korero mai na Ihowa.
