1 Samuel 3
1 And the child Samuel ministered unto YHWH before Eli. And the word of YHWH was precious in those days; there was no open 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 it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, 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 ere the lamp of Elohim went out in the temple of YHWH, where the ark of Elohim was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep;
Pathen kah hmaiim a thih hlanah Samuel khaw BOEIPA kah bawkim ah yalh. Teah te Pathen kah thingkawng om.
4 That YHWH called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.
Te vaengah Samuel te BOEIPA loh a khue hatah, “Kai ka om he,” a ti nah.
5 And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down.
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 YHWH called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again.
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 Now Samuel did not yet know YHWH, neither was the word of YHWH yet revealed unto him.
Te vaengah Samuel loh BOEIPA te hmat hlan tih BOEIPA ol khaw anih taengah phoe hlan.
8 And YHWH called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that YHWH had called the child.
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 said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, YHWH; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down 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 YHWH came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant 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 And YHWH said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it 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 perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end.
Tekah khohnin dongah a imkhui ah ka thui ham ka tong tih ka khah boeih nen te Eli ka pai thil ni.
13 For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained 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 And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever.
Eli imkhui te ka toemngam coeng dongah Eli imkhui kathaesainah a dalh te hmueih nen khaw khocang nen khaw kumhal duela dawth boel saeh,” a ti nah.
15 And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of YHWH. And Samuel feared to shew Eli the vision.
Samuel khaw mincang duela yalh tih BOEIPA im kah thohkhaih te a ong. Tedae a manghmuhnah te Eli taengah thui ham Samuel loh a rhih.
16 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I.
Tedae Samuel te, Eli loh a khue tih, “Ka ca Samuel,” a ti nah hatah, “Kai ka om he,” a ti nah.
17 And he said, What is the thing that YHWH hath said unto thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: Elohim do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide any thing from me of all the things that he said unto 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 And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is YHWH: 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 YHWH was with him, and did 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 even to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of YHWH.
Dan lamloh Beersheba duela Israel pum loh Samuel tah BOEIPA kah tonghma la cak coeng tila a ming uh.
21 And YHWH appeared again in Shiloh: for YHWH revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of YHWH.
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.
