1 Samuel 3
1 The boy Samuel served before the Lord under Eli's supervision. At that time messages from the Lord were rare—visions were not common.
Amo eso galu, goihadi Sa: miuele da Ilai hi olelelaleamusu e da Hina Gode Ea hawa: hamosu. Amo esoha, Hina Gode da Ea fi dunuma bagade hame sia: i. Amola esala ba: su bagahamedafa ba: i.
2 One evening, Eli had gone to bed in his room. His eyes were now so weak that he couldn't see.
Ilai ea si da gadenenewane dofoi dagoi ba: i. Gasi afaega e da hina: seseiga golai dialu.
3 The lamp of God hadn't yet gone out, and Samuel was sleeping in the Lord's Temple where the Ark of God was.
Sa: miuele da Gode Ea diasu (amo ganodini da Gode Ea Sema Gousa: su Gagili galu) amo ganodini golai dialu. Hehebolo mabe galu, gamali da nenanobawane,
4 Then the Lord called, “Samuel!” He answered, “I'm here.”
Hina Gode da Sa: miuelema wele sia: i. E da bu adole i, “Wae!”
5 He ran to Eli, and said, “I'm here—you called me.” “I didn't call you,” Eli replied. “Go back to bed.” So Samuel went back to bed.
Amalu, e da Ilaima hehenaiya asili, ema adole ba: i, “Dia na wele sia: i amo na da wea!” Be Ilai da bu adole i, “Na da di hame wele sia: i. Di bu golala masa.” Amane sia: beba: le, Sa: miuele da bu golala asi.
6 Then the Lord called again, “Samuel!” Samuel got up, went to Eli and said, “I'm here—you called me.” “I didn't call you, my son,” Eli replied. “Go back to bed.”
7 (Samuel hadn't yet come to know the Lord and had not received any message from him.)
Hina Gode da Sa: miuelema bu eno wele sia: i. Be Sa: miuele da amo da Hina Gode Ea wele sia: sayale hame dawa: i. Bai Hina Gode da musa: ema afae hame sia: su. Amaiba: le, e da wa: legadole, Ilaima asili, amane sia: i, “Dia na wele sia: i amo na da wea.” Be Ilai da bu adole i, “Nagofe! Di na hame wele sia: i. Bu golala masa.”
8 The Lord called again for the third time, “Samuel!” He got up went to Eli and said, “I'm here—you called me.” Then Eli realized that it was the Lord calling the boy.
Hina Gode da Sa: miuelema bu osoda wele sia: i. Amaiba: le, e da wa: legadole, Ilaima asili, amane sia: i, “Dia na wele sia: i amo na da wea.” Amalalu, Ilai da Hina Gode da Sa: miuelema wele sia: sa galebeya dawa: digi.
9 Eli told Samuel, “Go back to bed, and if he calls you, say, ‘Speak, Lord, because your servant is listening.’” So Samuel went back to his bed.
Amaiba: le, e da Sa: miuelema amane sia: i, “Di bu golala masa. Be Hina Gode da dima bu wele sia: sea, amane sia: ma, “Hina Gode! Dia sia: ma! Dia hawa: hamosu dunu na da Dia sia: lalabolalebe wea.” Amalu Sa: miuele da bu golala asi.
10 The Lord came and stood there, calling just as before, “Samuel! Samuel!” Samuel answered, “Speak, because your servant is listening.”
Hina Gode da bu misini, lelu. Hi musa: wele sia: i amanewane Sa: miuelema bu wele sia: i. “Sa: miuele! Sa: miuele!” Amalalu Sa: miuele da bu adole i, “Hina Gode! Dia sia: ma! Dia hawa: hamosu dunu da Dia sia: lalabolalebe wea.”
11 The Lord told Samuel: “Pay attention, because I'm going to do something in Israel that will surprise everyone who hears it.
Hina Gode da ema amane sia: i, “Eso afaega, Na da Isala: ili dunu fi ilima se dabe baligili imunu. Dunu huluane da amo hou nababeba: le, dogo giolasimu.
12 That's when I will carry out against Eli and his family everything I have said, from beginning to end.
Amo esohaga, Na da Ilai ea sosogo fi ilima gagabusu aligima: ne sia: i, amo huluanedafa hamomu.
13 I told him that I will judge his family forever because of the sins he knows about, because his sons blasphemed God and he did not try and stop them.
Na da Ilaima adoi dagoi, Na da ea sosogo fi ilima mae yolele se dabe dafawane gebe ianumu. Bai ea mano da Nama lasogole sia: i. Ilai da amo wadela: i hou hamobe dawa: i galu, be logo hame hedofasu.
14 That's why I swore to Eli and his family, ‘The guilt of Eli and his descendants will never be removed by sacrifice or offering.’”
Amaiba: le Na da Ilai ea sosogo fi ilima dafawanedafa amane sia: sa. Gobele salasu huluane amola udigili iasu huluane da amo wadela: idafa hou gogolema: ne olofomusa: defele hame ba: mu. Ilia da Na se dabe iasu fawane ba: mu.”
15 Samuel remained in bed until the morning. Then he got up and opened the doors of the Lord's Temple as usual. He was afraid to tell Eli about the vision.
Sa: miuele da golai dialobawane soge hadigi ba: i. Amalalu, e da wa: legadole, Hina Gode Ea diasu logo dui. E da ea ba: i liligi Ilaima adomu beda: i galu.
16 But Eli called him and said, “Samuel, my son.” “I'm here,” Samuel answered.
Ilai da Sa: miuelema wele sia: i, “Sa: miuele! Nagofe!” Sa: miuele da bu adole i, “Wae!”
17 “What did he tell you?” Eli asked. “Don't hide it from me. May God punish you very severely if you hide anything he told you from me!”
Ilai da ema amane adole ba: i, “Hina Gode da dima adi sia: bela: ? Liligi afae nama mae wamolegema. Dia sia: afae Gode Ea dima adoi amo afae hame adosea, E da dima gasa bagade se dabe imunu.”
18 So Samuel told him everything and didn't hide anything from him. “It's the Lord,” Eli replied. “May he do what he thinks is good.”
Amaiba: le, Sa: miuele da Gode Ea sia: i afae mae wamolegele, e da Gode Ea sia: i liligi huluanedafa Ilaima adodole i. Amalalu, Ilai da amane sia: i, “E da Hina Gode. E da Ea adi hamomusa: dawa: sea, E da hamomu.”
19 Samuel continued to grow up. The Lord was with him and made sure all he said was trustworthy.
Sa: miuele da asigilaloba, Hina Gode da e amola gilisili lalusu. Hina Gode da hamobeba: le, Sa: miuele ea sia: be huluane da defele doaga: su.
20 Everyone in the whole of Israel from Dan to Beersheba recognized that Samuel was a trustworthy prophet of the Lord.
Amaiba: le Isala: ili fi la: idi bega: amola la: idi bega: fifilai, ilia da Sa: miuele da dafawane Hina Gode Ea balofede dunu galebeya dawa: digisu.
21 The Lord went on appearing at Shiloh, because there he revealed himself to Samuel and delivered his messages,
Hina Gode da musa: Siailou moilaiga Sa: miuelema misini, ema sia: dasu. Amola E da amogai eso bagohame gebewane doaga: ga: su amola sia: olelelalusu. Amalalu, Sa: miuele da sia: beba: le, Isala: ili dunu huluane da ea sia: nabalusu.
