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.
Lè sa a, Samyèl te timoun toujou, li t'ap sèvi Seyè a sou zòd Eli. Nan tan sa a se pa t' fasil pou Seyè a te pale ak moun. Se bagay ki te ra anpil pou Seyè a te fè moun wè l'.
2 And at that time, as Eli lay in his place, his eyes began to waxe dimme that he could not see.
Je Eli yo te fin bese, li pa t' ka wè ladan yo ankò. Yon jou lannwit, Eli te kouche nan chanm li ap dòmi.
3 And yet the light of God went out, Samuel slept in the temple of the Lord, where the Arke of God was.
Samyèl menm te kouche nan Tanp Seyè a, nan pyès kote Bwat Kontra Bondye a te ye a. Lanp lan te limen toujou.
4 Then the Lord called Samuel: and hee said, Here I am.
Seyè a rele Samyèl. Samyèl reponn: -Men mwen wi!
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.
Epi li leve, l' al jwenn Eli, li di l': -Men mwen wi! M' tande ou rele m'! Eli reponn li: -Mwen pa rele ou non! Tounen nan kabann ou. Samyèl ale, li kouche.
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.
Seyè a rele l' ankò. Samyèl leve, l' al jwenn Eli, li di l': -Men mwen wi! Mwen tande ou rele m'! Men, Eli reponn li: -Pitit mwen, mwen pa rele ou. Al kouche tande!
7 Thus did Samuel, before hee knewe the Lord, and before the word of the Lord was reueiled vnto him.
Samyèl pa t' ankò konnen Seyè a paske Seyè a pa t' ankò janm pale avè l' anvan sa.
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.
Seyè a rele Samyèl yon twazyèm fwa. Samyèl leve, l' al jwenn Eli, epi li di l': -Mwen tande ou rele m'. Men mwen wi! Fwa sa a, Eli vin konprann se Seyè a ki t'ap rele ti gason an.
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.
Li di Samyèl konsa: -Al kouche tande! Si ou tande yo rele ou ankò, w'a reponn: Pale non, Seyè! Sèvitè ou la ap koute ou! Samyèl ale, li kouche nan kabann li.
10 And the Lord came, and stoode, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speake, for thy seruant heareth.
Seyè a vini, li kanpe, epi li rele l' jan l' te fè l' anvan an: -Samyèl! Samyèl! Samyèl reponn: -Pale non! Sèvitè ou la ap koute ou!
11 Then the Lord said to Samuel, Beholde, I wil doe a thing in Israel, whereof whosoeuer shall heare, his two eares shall tingle.
Seyè a di l' konsa: -Mwen pral fè yon gwo bagay nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la. Lè moun va tande sa, yo pral sezi.
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.
Jou sa a, tout malè mwen te di Eli ki pou te rive fanmi l' yo pral rive vre san manke yonn.
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.
Mwen te di l' mwen tapral pini fanmi l' lan yon sèl kou pou m' fini ak yo poutèt pitit gason l' yo. Li konnen yo t'ap fè sa ki mal, yo t'ap pale Bondye mal, epi li pa di yo anyen.
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.
Se poutèt sa mwen te fè moun fanmi Eli yo konnen mwen sèmante pa gen ankenn bèt yo ka touye ni ankenn ofrann ki ka fè m' padonnen peche yo fè a.
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.
Samyèl rete nan kabann li jouk denmen maten. Li leve granmaten, li louvri tout pòt nan Tanp Seyè a. Men, li te pè al rakonte Eli vizyon li te fè a.
16 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel my sonne. And he answered, Here I am.
Men Eli rele l': -Samyèl, pitit mwen! Samyèl reponn li: -Men mwen wi!
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.
Eli mande l': -Kisa Seyè a di ou konsa? Tanpri pa kache m' anyen. Se pou Bondye ba ou pi gwo pinisyon ki genyen si ou kache m' anyen nan sa li di ou la.
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.
Se konsa Samyèl rapòte l' tout pawòl Seyè a san kache l' anyen. Epi Eli di l': -Se Seyè a li ye, l'a fè tou sa li wè ki bon.
19 And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground.
Samyèl t'ap grandi, Seyè a te avèk li. Li te fè tout pawòl ki te soti nan bouch Samyèl rive vre.
20 And all Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba knew that faithfull Samuel was the Lordes Prophet.
Konsa, tout pèp Izrayèl la, depi moun ki te rete nan peyi Dann lan jouk sa ki rete lavil Bècheba, te vin rekonèt Samyèl tankou yon bon pwofèt k'ap pale pawòl Seyè a.
21 And the Lord appeared againe in Shiloh: for the Lord reueiled himselfe to Samuel in Shiloh by his word.
Seyè a menm te toujou ap parèt lavil Silo, paske se la li te konn fè Samyèl wè li, se la li te konn pale ak li.
