1 Samuel 3
1 And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision.
Saamuʼeel mucichi fuula Eelii duratti Waaqayyoon tajaajilaa ture. Bara sana keessa dubbiin Waaqayyoo yeroo tokko tokko malee hin dhufu ture; mulʼanni baayʼeenis hin jiru ture.
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;
Eeliin inni iji isaa arguu dadhabe sun halkan tokko idduma isaa kan durii rafaa ture.
3 And before the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep;
Saamuʼeelis mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessa iddoo taabonni Waaqaa ture sana ture; ibsaan Waaqaa amma illee hin dhaamne ture.
4 That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.
Waaqayyos Saamuʼeelin ni waame. Saamuʼeelis, “Ani asin jira” jedhee deebise.
5 And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for you called me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down.
Fiigees gara Eelii dhaqee, “Ati waan na waamteef ani kunoo dhufeera” jedheen. Eeliin garuu, “Ani si hin waamne; deebiʼii ciisi” jedheen; innis deebiʼee ciise.
6 And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for you did call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again.
Ammas Waaqayyo, “Saamuʼeel!” jedhee waame; Saamuʼeelis kaʼee Eelii bira dhaqee, “Ati waan na waamteef ani kunoo dhufeera” jedhe. Eeliinis, “Yaa ilma koo ani si hin waamne; dhaqii ciisi” jedheen.
7 Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him.
Yeroo sana Saamuʼeel Waaqayyoon hin beeku ture; dubbiin Waaqayyos isaaf hin ibsamne ture.
8 And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for you did call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.
Waaqayyo yeroo sadaffaadhaaf Saamuʼeelin ni waame; Saamuʼeelis kaʼee gara Eelii dhaqe, “Ati waan na waamteef ani kunoo dhufeera” jedhe. Eliin yeroo kana akka Waaqayyo mucicha waamaa ture hubate.
9 Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call you, that you shall say, Speak, LORD; for your servant hears. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
Kanaafuu Eeliin Saamuʼeeliin, “Dhaqii ciisi; yoo inni si waame, ‘Garbichi kee dhagaʼaa jiraatii yaa Waaqayyo dubbadhu’ jedhi” jedheen. Kanaafuu Saamuʼeel dhaqee iddoo ofii isaa ciise.
10 And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for your servant hears.
Waaqayyos dhufee achi dhaabatee akkuma duraan waametti, “Saamuʼeel! Saamuʼeel!” jedhee waame. Saamuʼeelis, “Garbichi kee dhagaʼaa jiraatii dubbadhu” jedhe.
11 And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that hears it shall tingle.
Waaqayyos Saamuʼeeliin akkana jedhe: “Kunoo ani waan gurra namaatti hin tolle tokko Israaʼelitti fiduufin jira.
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.
Gaafas ani waanan maatii Eelii irratti dubbadhe hundumaa jalqabaa hamma dhumaatti Eeliitti nan fida.
13 For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knows; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.
Sababii waaʼee cubbuu inni iyyuu beeku tokkootiif ani maatii isaa akkan adabu isatti himeeraatii. Ilmaan isaa waan jibbisiisaa hojjetan; inni garuu isaan hin dhowwine.
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.
Kanaaf ani, ‘Cubbuun mana Eelii aarsaadhaan yookaan qalmaan hin haqamu’ jedhee kakadheera.”
15 And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to show Eli the vision.
Saamuʼeel hamma bariʼutti ni rafe; ergasii balbala mana Waaqayyoo bane. Innis mulʼata sana Eeliitti himuu sodaatee ture.
16 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I.
Eeliin garuu ofitti isa waamee, “Saamuʼeel, yaa ilma koo” jedhe. Saamuʼeelis deebisee, “Ani asin jira” jedheen.
17 And he said, What is the thing that the LORD has said unto you? I pray you hide it not from me: God do so to you, and more also, if you hide any thing from me of all the things that he said unto you.
Eeliinis, “Inni maal jedhee sitti dubbate? Na hin dhoksin; yoo ati waan inni sitti hime tokko illee na dhoksite Waaqni waan hamaa sitti haa fidu; sittis haa cimsu” isaan jedhe.
18 And Samuel told him everything, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is the LORD: let him do what seems him good.
Kanaaf Saamuʼeel waan tokko illee utuu hin dhoksin waan hundumaa isatti hime. Eeliinis, “Inni Waaqayyoo dha; waan isatti tole haa godhu” jedhe.
19 And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.
Saamuʼeel guddachaa deeme; Waaqayyos isa wajjin ture; dubbii isaa keessaas tokko iyyuu lafa hin buʼu ture.
20 And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.
Israaʼeloonni Daanii hamma Bersheebaatti argaman hundi akka Saamuʼeel raajii Waaqayyoo taʼee fudhatame beekan.
21 And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.
Waaqayyo ammas Shiilootti mulʼate; inni karaa dubbii isaatiin Saamuʼeelitti of mulʼiseeraatii.
