Kings I 3

1 And the child Samuel ministered to the Lord before Heli the priest: and the word of the Lord was precious in those days, there was no distinct vision.

Ang bata nga si Samuel nag-alagad kang Yahweh ubos kang Eli. Panagsa lang ang mga pulong ni Yahweh niadtong panahona; dili usab kanunay makakita ug panan-awon ang mga propeta.

2 And it came to pass at that time that Heli was sleeping in his place; and his eyes began to fail, and could not see.

Nianang panahona, sa dihang si Eli, nagsugod na ug dulom ang iyang panan-aw maong dili na kaayo siya makakita, naghigda sa iyang kaugalingong higdaanan.

3 And the lamp of God [was burning] before it was trimmed, and Samuel slept in the temple, where [was] the ark of God.

Ang lampara sa Dios wala pa mapalong, samtang si Samuel naghigda na ug natulog didto sa templo ni Yahweh, kung asa nahimutang ang sudlanan sa kasabotan sa Dios.

4 And the Lord called, Samuel, Samuel; and he said, Behold, [here am] I.

Gitawag ni Yahweh si Samuel, nga miingon, “Ania ako.”

5 And he ran to Heli, and said, [Here am] I, for you did call me: and he said, I did not call you; return, go to sleep; and he returned and went to sleep.

Midagan si Samuel kang Eli ug miigon, “Ania ako, kay gitawag mo man ako.” Miingon si Eli, “Wala ko ikaw gitawag; higda ug balik.” Busa milakaw si Samuel ug mihigda pagbalik.

6 And the Lord called again, Samuel, Samuel: and he went to Heli the second time, and said, Behold [here am] I, for you did call me: and he said, I called you not; return, go to sleep.

Mitawag pag-usab si Yahweh, “Samuel.” Mibangon pagbalik si Samuel ug miadto kang Eli ug miingon, “Ania ako, kay gitawag mo man ako.” Mitubag si Eli, “Wala ko ikaw gitawag, akong anak; higda ug balik.”

7 And [it was] before Samuel knew the Lord, and [before] the word of the Lord was revealed to him.

Karon wala pay kasinatian si Samuel kang Yahweh, bisan paman ang mga mensahe nga gikan kang Yahweh wala pa mapadayag kaniya.

8 And the Lord called Samuel again for the third time: and he arose and went to Heli, and said, Behold, I [am here], for you did call me: and Heli perceived that the Lord [had] called the child.

Gitawag pag-usab ni Yahweh si Samuel sa ikatulong higayon. Mibangon pag-usab si Samuel ug miadto kang Eli ug miingon, “Ania ako, kay gitawag mo man ako.” Ug namatikdan ni Eli nga gitawag ni Yahweh ang maong batang lalaki.

9 And he said, Return, child, go to sleep; and it shall come to pass if he shall call you, that you shall say, Speak for your servant hears: and Samuel went and lay down in his place.

Misulti si Eli kang Samuel, “Lakaw ug balik paghigda; kung tawgon ka niya pag-usab, mao kini ang imong isulti, 'Sulti, Yahweh, kay maminaw ang imong alagad.” Busa mibalik pag-usab si Samuel paghigda sa iyang kaugalingong dapit.

10 And the Lord came, and stood, and called him as before: and Samuel said, Speak, for your servant hears.

Miabot si Yahweh ug nagtindog; mitawag siya sama sa niaging pagtawag, “Samuel, Samuel.” Mitubag si Samuel, “Sulti, kay maminaw ang imong alagad.”

11 And the Lord said to Samuel, Behold, I execute my words in Israel; whoever hears them, both his ears shall tingle.

Miingon si Yahweh kang Samuel, “Tan-awa, aduna akoy pagabuhaton sa Israel nga diin ang mga dalunggan nga makadungog niini motagning gayod.

12 In that day I will raise up against Heli all things that I have said against his house; I will begin, and I will make an end.

Nianang adlawa pagakuhaon ko ang tanan kong gisulti mahitungod sa panimalay ni Eli, gikan sa sinugdan hangtod sa kataposan.

13 And I have told him that I will be avenged on his house perpetually for the iniquities of his sons, because his sons spoke evil against God, and he did not admonish them.

Giingnan ko na siya nga akong hukman ang iyang panimalay sa tanang sala nga iyang nahibaloan, tungod kay nagdala ug tunglo ang iyang mga anak nga lalaki sa ilang kaugalingon ug wala niya sila badlonga.

14 And [it shall] not [go on] so; I have sworn to the house of Eli, the iniquity of the house of Eli shall not be atoned for with incense or sacrifices for ever.

Tungod niini akong gipanaad sa panimalay ni Eli nga ang mga sala nga anaa sa iyang panimalay dili mapasaylo pinaagi sa bisan unsang sakripisyo o halad.”

15 And Samuel slept till morning, and rose early in the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the Lord; and Samuel feared to tell [Heli] the vision.

Mihigda si Samuel hangtod nga mibuntag; unya giablihan niya ang mga pultahan sa balay ni Yahweh. Apan nahadlok si Samuel nga isulti ang iyang panan-awon bahin kang Eli.

16 And Heli said to Samuel, Samuel, [my] son; and he said, Behold, [here am] I.

Gitawag ni Eli si Samuel ug miingon, “Samuel, akong anak.” Miingon si Samuel, “Ania ako.”

17 And he said, What [was] the word that was spoken to you? I pray you hide it not from me: may God do these things to you, and more also, if you hide from me any thing of all the words that were spoken to you in your ears.

Miingon siya, “Unsa man ang mga pulong nga iyang gisulti kanimo? Palihog ayaw kini ililong kanako. Hinaot buhaton usab kini sa Dios kanimo, ug labaw pa, kung imong ililong kanako ang tanang mga pulong nga iyang gisulti kanimo.”

18 And Samuel reported all the words, and hid them not from him. And Heli said, He [is] the Lord, he shall do that which is good in his sight.

Busa gisulti ni Samuel ang tanan; ug wala siyay gililong gikan kaniya. Miingon si Eli, “Siya si Yahweh. Tugoti siya sa pagbuhat kung unsay maayo kaniya.”

19 And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and there did not fall one of his words to the ground.

Midako na si Samuel, ug nag-uban kanunay si Yahweh kaniya ug walay bisan usa nga napakyas sa iyang gipangsulti nga mga pulong ug natuman kining tanan.

20 And all Israel knew from Dan even to Bersabee, that Samuel [was] faithful as a prophet to the Lord.

Ang tanang taga-Israel gikan sa Dan hangtod sa Beersheba nakabalo nga gipili si Samuel aron mahimong propeta ni Yahweh.

21 And the Lord manifested himself again in Selom, for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel; and Samuel was accredited to all Israel as a prophet to the Lord from one end of the land to the other: and Heli [was] very old, and his sons kept advancing [in wickedness], and their way [was] evil before the Lord.

Nagpakita pag-usab si Yahweh didto sa Silo, kay gibutyag niya ang iyang kaugalingon kang Samuel didto sa Silo pinaagi sa iyang mga pulong.
