1 Samuel 3
1 Nowe the childe Samuel ministred vnto the Lord before Eli: and the word of the Lord was precious in those dayes: for there was no manifest vision.
Camoe Samuel tah Eli mikhmuh ah BOEIPA hamla thotat. Te vaeng tue ah BOEIPA kah ol khaw kuelka pueng tih mangthui khaw pungtai pawh.
2 And at that time, as Eli lay in his place, his eyes began to waxe dimme that he could not see.
Te khohnin ah Eli tah a hmuen ah yalh. A mik khaw hmaang coeng tih hmu thai voel pawh.
3 And yet the light of God went out, Samuel slept in the temple of the Lord, where the Arke of God was.
Pathen kah hmaiim a thih hlanah Samuel khaw BOEIPA kah bawkim ah yalh. Teah te Pathen kah thingkawng om.
4 Then the Lord called Samuel: and hee said, Here I am.
Te vaengah Samuel te BOEIPA loh a khue hatah, “Kai ka om he,” a ti nah.
5 And he ranne vnto Eli, and said, Here am I, for thou calledst me. But he said, I called thee not: goe againe and sleepe. And he went and slept.
Te phoeiah Eli taengla yong tih, “Kai nang khue tih ka om ta he,” a ti nah. Tedae, “Kang khue moenih, bal lamtah yalh laeh,” a ti nah vanbangla cet tih yalh.
6 And the Lord called once againe, Samuel. And Samuel arose, and went to Eli, and said, I am here: for thou diddest call me. And he answered, I called thee not, my sonne: go againe and sleepe.
Te phoeiah Samuel a khue te BOEIPA loh koep a rhaep. Te dongah Samuel te thoo tih Eli taengla cet. Te vaengah, “Kai nang khue tih ka om ta he,” a ti nah. Tedae, “Ka ca, kan khue moenih, bal lamtah yalh laeh,” a ti nah.
7 Thus did Samuel, before hee knewe the Lord, and before the word of the Lord was reueiled vnto him.
Te vaengah Samuel loh BOEIPA te hmat hlan tih BOEIPA ol khaw anih taengah phoe hlan.
8 And the Lord called Samuel againe the thirde time: and he arose, and went to Eli, and said, I am here: for thou hast called me. Then Eli perceiued that the Lord had called the childe.
A pathum dongah khaw BOEIPA loh a rhaep tih Samuel te a khue. Te dongah a thoh hang neh Eli taengla cet tih, “Kai nang khue tih ka om ta he,” a ti nah. Te daengah camoe te BOEIPA loh a khue tila Eli loh a yakming.
9 Therefore Eli saide vnto Samuel, Goe and sleepe: and if he call thee, then say, Speake Lord, for thy seruant heareth. So Samuel went, and slept in his place.
Te vaengah Samuel te Eli loh, “Cet lamtah yalh laeh, nang te ng'khue atah, ‘BOEIPA han thui lah, Na sal long he ka hnatun ngawn,’ ti nah,” a ti nah. Te dongah Samuel te cet tih amah hmuen ah koep yalh.
10 And the Lord came, and stoode, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speake, for thy seruant heareth.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA te ha pawk tih pai. A noek noek kah bangla, “Samuel, Samuel,” a ti nah. Samuel loh, “Na sal long he ka hnatun dongah han thui ngawn,” a ti nah.
11 Then the Lord said to Samuel, Beholde, I wil doe a thing in Israel, whereof whosoeuer shall heare, his two eares shall tingle.
Te daengah Samuel te BOEIPA loh, “Israel ah hno ka saii coeng ne. Te te aka ya boeih ham a hna bok umya bitni.
12 In that day I will raise vp against Eli all things which I haue spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an ende.
Tekah khohnin dongah a imkhui ah ka thui ham ka tong tih ka khah boeih nen te Eli ka pai thil ni.
13 And I haue tolde him that I will iudge his house for euer, for the iniquitie which hee knoweth, because his sonnes ranne into a slaunder, and he stayed them not.
Amah im ah kai loh lai ka tloek te amah taengah ka puen coeng. Kumhal duela thaesainah te a ming. A ca rhoi te pamdah tih amih rhoi taengah a ueih moenih.
14 Nowe therefore I haue sworne vnto the house of Eli, that the wickednes of Elis house, shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offring for euer.
Eli imkhui te ka toemngam coeng dongah Eli imkhui kah thaesainah a dalh te hmueih nen khaw, khocang nen khaw, kumhal duela dawth boel saeh,” a ti nah.
15 Afterward Samuel slept vntil the morning, and opened the doores of the house of the Lord, and Samuel feared to shewe Eli the vision.
Samuel khaw mincang duela yalh tih BOEIPA im kah thohkhaih te a ong. Tedae a mangthuinah te Eli taengah thui ham Samuel loh a rhih.
16 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel my sonne. And he answered, Here I am.
Tedae Samuel te, Eli loh a khue tih, “Ka ca Samuel,” a ti nah hatah, “Kai ka om he,” a ti nah.
17 Then he said, What is it, that the Lord said vnto thee? I pray thee, hide it not from mee. God doe so to thee, and more also, if thou hide any thing from me, of all that he said vnto thee.
Te phoeiah, “Nang taengah mebang ol lae a thui. Kai taengah phah boeh. Pathen loh nang ham a saii bitni. Nang taengah a thui ol boeih khuiah ol te kai taengah na phah vetih khoengvoep uh ve,” a ti nah.
18 So Samuel tolde him euery whit, and hid nothing from him. Then hee said, It is the Lord: let him do what seemeth him good.
Te daengah Samuel loh olka boeih te phah kolla Eli taengah a thui pah. Te vaengah, “BOEIPA amah loh a mikhmuh ah then a ti bangla saii nawn saeh,” a ti.
19 And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground.
Samuel a puel hang vaengah BOEIPA khaw anih taengah om. Te vaengah BOEIPA ol pakhat khaw diklai la rhul sak pawh.
20 And all Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba knew that faithfull Samuel was the Lordes Prophet.
Dan lamloh Beersheba duela Israel pum loh Samuel tah BOEIPA kah tonghma la cak coeng tila a ming uh.
21 And the Lord appeared againe in Shiloh: for the Lord reueiled himselfe to Samuel in Shiloh by his word.
Shiloh kah a phoe ham te BOEIPA loh a khoep. Te dongah BOEIPA tah BOEIPA ol nen ni Shiloh kah Samuel taengla a phoe pah.
