1 Samuel 3

1 Now the child Samuel ministered to the Lord before Heli, and the word of the Lord was precious in those days, there was no manifest vision.

At ang batang si Samuel ay nangangasiwa sa Panginoon sa harap ni Eli. At ang salita ng Panginoon ay mahalaga noong mga araw na yaon; walang hayag na pangitain.

2 And it came to pass one day when Heli lay in his place, and his eyes were grown dim, that he could not see:

At nangyari nang panahon na yaon, nang si Eli ay mahiga sa kaniyang dako, (ang kaniya ngang mata'y nagpasimulang lumabo, na siya'y hindi nakakita, )

3 Before the lamp of God went out, Samuel slept in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was.

At ang ilawan ng Dios ay hindi pa namamatay, at si Samuel ay nakahiga upang matulog, sa templo ng Panginoon, na kinaroroonan ng kaban ng Dios;

4 And the Lord called Samuel. And he answered: Here am I.

Na tinawag ng Panginoon si Samuel: at kaniyang sinabi, Narito ako.

5 And he ran to Heli and said: Here am I: for thou didst call me. He said: I did not call: go back and sleep. And he went and slept.

At siya'y tumakbo kay Eli, at nagsabi, Narito ako; sapagka't tinawag mo ako. At kaniyang sinabi, Hindi ako tumawag; mahiga ka uli. At siya'y yumaon at nahiga.

6 And the Lord called Samuel again. And Samuel arose and went to Heli, and said: Here am I: for thou calledst me. He answered: I did not call thee, my son: return and sleep.

At tumawag pa uli ang Panginoon, Samuel. At bumangon si Samuel at naparoon kay Eli, at nagsabi, Narito ako: sapagka't ako'y tinawag mo. At siya'y sumagot, Hindi ako tumawag, anak ko; mahiga ka uli.

7 Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, neither had the word of the Lord been revealed to him.

Hindi pa nga nakikilala ni Samuel ang Panginoon, o ang salita man ng Panginoon ay nahahayag pa sa kaniya.

8 And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. And he arose up and went to Heli.

At tinawag uli ng Panginoon na ikaitlo. At siya'y bumangon, at naparoon kay Eli, at nagsabi, Narito ako; sapagka't ako'y iyong tinawag. At nahalata ni Eli na tinatawag ng Panginoon ang bata.

9 And said: Here am I: for thou didst call me. Then Heli understood that the Lord called the child, and he said to Samuel: Go, and sleep: and if he shall call thee any more, thou shalt say: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and slept in his place.

Kaya't sinabi ni Eli kay Samuel, Yumaon ka, mahiga ka: at mangyayari, na kung tatawagin ka niya, ay iyong sasabihin, Magsalita ka, Panginoon; sapagka't dinirinig ng iyong lingkod. Sa gayo'y yumaon si Samuel at nahiga sa kaniyang dako.

10 And the Lord came and stood: and he called, as he had called the other times: Samuel, Samuel. And Samuel said: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth.

At ang Panginoon ay naparoon, at tumayo, at tumawag na gaya ng una, Samuel, Samuel. Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Samuel, Magsalita ka; sapagka't dinirinig ng iyong lingkod.

11 And the Lord said to Samuel: Behold I do a thing in Israel: and whosoever shall hear it, both his ears shall tingle.

At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Samuel, Narito, gagawa ako ng isang bagay sa Israel, na ang dalawang tainga ng bawa't isa na nakikinig ay magpapanting.

12 In that day I will raise up against Heli all the things I have spoken concerning his house: I will begin, and I will make an end.

Sa araw na yaon ay aking tutuparin kay Eli ang lahat na aking sinalita tungkol sa kaniyang sangbahayan, mula sa pasimula hanggang sa wakas.

13 For I have foretold unto him, that I will judge his house for ever, for iniquity, because he knew that his sons did wickedly, and did not chastise them.

Sapagka't aking isinaysay sa kaniya na aking huhukuman ang kaniyang sangbahayan magpakailan man, dahil sa kasamaan na kaniyang nalalaman, sapagka't ang kaniyang mga anak ay nagdala ng sumpa sa kanilang sarili, at hindi niya sinangsala sila.

14 Therefore have I sworn to the house of Heli, that the iniquity of his house shall not be expiated with victims nor offerings for ever.

At kaya't ako'y sumumpa sa sangbahayan ni Eli, na ang kasamaan ng sangbahayan ni Eli ay hindi mapapawi ng hain, o handog man magpakailan man.

15 And Samuel slept till morning, and opened the doors of the house of the Lord. And Samuel feared to tell the vision to Heli.

At nahiga si Samuel hanggang sa kinaumagahan, at ibinukas ang mga pinto ng bahay ng Panginoon. At natakot si Samuel na saysayin kay Eli ang panaginip.

16 Then Heli called Samuel, and said: Samuel, my son. And he answered: Here am I.

Nang magkagayo'y tinawag ni Eli si Samuel, at nagsabi, Samuel, anak ko. At kaniyang sinabi, Narito ako.

17 And he asked him: What is the word that the Lord hath spoken to thee? I beseech thee hide it not from me. May God do so and so to thee, and add so and so, if thou hide from me one word of all that were said to thee.

At kaniyang sinabi, Ano ang bagay na sinalita sa iyo? isinasamo ko sa iyo na huwag mong ilihim sa akin: hatulan ka ng Dios, at lalo na, kung iyong ililihim sa akin ang anomang bagay sa lahat ng mga bagay na kaniyang sinalita sa iyo.

18 So Samuel told him all the words, and did not hide them from him. And he answered: It is the Lord: let him do what is good in his sight.

At isinaysay sa kaniya ni Samuel ang buong sinalita, at hindi naglihim ng anoman sa kaniya. At kaniyang sinabi, Panginoon nga: gawin niya ang inaakala niyang mabuti.

19 And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and not one of his words fell to the ground.

At si Samuel ay lumalaki at ang Panginoon ay sumasakaniya, at walang di pinapangyari sa kaniyang mga salita.

20 And all Israel from Dan to Bersabee, knew that Samuel was a faithful prophet of the Lord.

At nakilala ng buong Israel mula sa Dan hanggang sa Beer-seba na si Samuel ay itinatag na maging propeta ng Panginoon.

21 And the Lord again appeared in Silo, for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Silo, according to the word of the Lord. And the word of Samuel came to pass to all Israel.

At napakilala uli ang Panginoon sa Silo, sapagka't ang Panginoo'y napakilala kay Samuel sa Silo sa pamamagitan ng salita ng Panginoon.
