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.
Nawkta Samuel loe Eli hmaa ah Angraeng ih tok to sak; to nathuem ah Angraeng mah kami khaeah thuih ih lok to om ai; kamtueng ah hmuen hnuksakhaih doeh om ai.
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;
To nathuem ah Eli loe a iihhaih hmuen ah angsong, to naah mik thazok sut moe, mik amtueng ai pongah, tidoeh hnu thai ai.
3 And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of Yhwh, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep;
Sithaw ih thingkhong ohhaih, Angraeng ih tempul ah Sithaw ih hmai-im to dueh ai vop, Samuel loe iih hanah angsong kawk boeh;
4 That Yhwh called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.
to naah Angraeng mah Samuel to kawk; Samuel mah, Hae ah ka oh, tiah a naa.
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.
Anih loe Eli khaeah, Nang kawk pongah, kang zoh, tiah a naa. Toe Eli mah, Kang kawk ai bae; caeh loe iip ah, tiah a naa. To pongah anih loe caeh moe, angsong let.
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.
Angraeng mah, Samuel, tiah kawk let bae. Samuel loe angthawk moe, Eli khaeah, Nang kawk pongah, kang zoh, tiah a naa. Eli mah, Ka capa, kang kawk ai; caeh loe iip lai ah, tiah a naa.
7 Now Samuel did not yet know Yhwh, neither was the word of Yhwh yet revealed unto him.
Angraeng ih lok anih khaeah angphong pae ai vop pongah, Samuel mah Angraeng ni, tiah panoek ai vop.
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.
Vai thumto haih ah Angraeng mah Samuel to kawk let bae; to naah Samuel loe angthawk moe, Eli khaeah caeh, Nang kawk pongah, kang zoh, tiah a naa let bae.
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.
To pongah Eli mah Samuel khaeah, Caeh loe, iip lai ah; na kawk let nahaeloe, Angraeng, Lok na thui ah; na tamna mah tahngaih, tiah thui ah, tiah a naa. To pongah Samuel loe caeh moe, angmah ih ahmuen ah angsong let.
10 And Yhwh came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.
Angraeng loe angzoh moe, to ah angdoet pacoengah, canghni ih baktih toengah, Samuel, Samuel, tiah kawk. To naah Samuel mah, Lok na thui ah, na tamna mah tahngaih, tiah a naa.
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.
To naah Angraeng mah Samuel khaeah, Khenah, tamthang thaih kaminawk boih, naa to taphruemsak hanah, Israel kaminawk salakah hmuen maeto ka sak han.
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.
To naah ka thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Eli imthung takoh nuiah hmuennawk to ka sak han; sak kam tong baktih toengah, boeng khoek to ka sak han.
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.
A capa hnik mah panuet thok hmuen a sak hoi, tiah Eli mah panoek, toe sak han ai ah pakaa ai pongah, a imthung takoh nuiah dungzan khoek to lok ka caek han, tiah ka thuih boeh.
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.
To pongah Eli imthung takoh mah sak ih zaehaih loe, angbawnhaih hoi hmuen paekhaih mah dungzan khoek to ciimsak mak ai boeh, tiah a naa.
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 loe akhawnbang khoek to angsong moe, Angraeng im ih thoknawk to paongh. Samuel mah a hnuk ih hmuen kawng to Eli khaeah thuih han zit.
16 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I.
Toe Eli mah Samuel khaeah, Ka capa, Samuel, tiah a naa. Samuel mah, Hae ah ka oh, tiah pathim pae.
17 And he said, What is the thing that the Lord hath said unto thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide any thing from me of all the things that he said unto thee.
Anih khaeah, Angraeng mah nang khaeah tih lok maw ang thuih? tiah a dueng. Kai khaeah angphat hmah, nang khaeah ang thuih ih loknawk boih to nang phat nahaeloe, Sithaw mah dan na paek tih; kanung aep ah dan na paek tih, tiah a naa.
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.
To pongah kaom hmuen kawng to Samuel mah angphat ai ah thuih pae boih. To naah Eli mah, Anih loe Angraeng ni. A mikhnukah kahoih hmuen to sah nasoe, tiah thuih.
19 And Samuel grew, And Yhwh was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.
Samuel loe qoeng tahang, Angraeng mah anih to oh thuih; amro hanah a lok maeto doeh long ah krahsak ai.
20 And all Israel from Dan even to Beer–sheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of Yhwh.
Samuel loe Angraeng ih tahmaa ah om tih, tiah Dan hoi Beersheba vangpui khoek to kaom Israel kaminawk boih mah panoek o.
21 And Yhwh appeared again in Shiloh: for Yhwh revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of Yhwh.
Angraeng mah Shiloh ah angphong thuih let; Shiloh vangpui ah Angraeng mah Samuel khaeah Angraeng ih lok hoiah angphong thui let.
