1 Samuel 3
1 And the youth Samuel is serving YHWH before Eli, and the word of YHWH has been precious in those days—there is no vision breaking forth.
Samueli ankatumikira Yehova moyangʼaniridwa ndi Eli. Masiku amenewo mawu a Yehova sankamveka pafupipafupi. Kuona zinthu mʼmasomphenya sikunkachitikanso kawirikawiri.
2 And it comes to pass, at that time, that Eli is lying down in his place, and his eyes have begun [to be] faded—he is not able to see.
Tsiku lina Eli, amene maso anali ofowoka ndi kuti sankatha kuona bwino, anagona pa malo ake.
3 And the lamp of God is not yet extinguished, and Samuel is lying down in the temple of YHWH, where the Ark of God [is],
Nthawiyi nʼkuti nyale ya Mulungu isanazimitsidwe. Samueli anali gone mu Nyumba ya Yehova, kumene kunali Bokosi la Chipangano cha Mulungu.
4 and YHWH calls to Samuel, and he says, “Here I [am].”
Yehova anayitana Samueli. Iye anayankha kuti, “Wawa.”
5 And he runs to Eli and says, “Here I [am], for you have called for me”; and he says, “I did not call; turn back, lie down”; and he goes and lies down.
Ndipo iyeyo anathamangira kwa Eli ndipo anati, “Ndabwera ndamva kuyitana.” Koma Eli anati, “Ine sindinakuyitane, bwerera kagone.” Ndipo iye anapita kukagona.
6 And YHWH adds to call Samuel again, and Samuel rises and goes to Eli, and says, “Here I [am], for you have called for me”; and he says, “I have not called, my son, turn back, lie down.”
Yehova anayitananso, “Samueli!” Ndipo Samueli anadzuka ndi kupita kwa Eli nati, “Ndabwera popeza ndamva mukundiyitana.” Eli nati, “Mwana wanga, ine sindinakuyitane, bwerera kagone.”
7 And Samuel has not yet known YHWH, and the word of YHWH is not yet revealed to him.
Nthawiyi nʼkuti Samueli asanadziwe Yehova ndipo Mawu a Yehova nʼkuti asanawululidwe kwa iye.
8 And YHWH adds to call Samuel the third time, and he rises and goes to Eli, and says, “Here I [am], for you have called for me”; and Eli understands that YHWH is calling to the youth.
Yehova anayitananso Samueli kachitatu ndipo Samueli anadzuka ndikupita kwa Eli ndipo anati, “Ndabwera popeza mwandiyitana ndithu.” Apo Eli anazindikira kuti Yehova ndiye ankayitana mnyamatayo.
9 And Eli says to Samuel, “Go, lie down, and it has been, if He calls to you, that you have said, Speak, YHWH, for Your servant is hearing”; and Samuel goes and lies down in his place.
Tsono Eli anamuwuza Samueli kuti, “Pita ukagone ndipo akakuyitananso ukanene kuti, ‘Yankhulani Yehova, pakuti mtumiki wanu ndikumvetsera.’” Choncho Samueli anapita ndi kukagona pamalo pake.
10 And YHWH comes, and stations Himself, and calls as time by time, “Samuel, Samuel”; and Samuel says, “Speak, for Your servant is hearing.”
Yehova anabwera ndi kuyima pomwepo, ndi kuyitana monga nthawi zina zija, “Samueli! Samueli!” Ndipo Samueli anayankha, “Yankhulani, pakuti mtumiki wanu akumvetsera.”
11 And YHWH says to Samuel, “Behold, I am doing a thing in Israel, at which the two ears of everyone hearing it tingle.
Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Samueli, “Taona, patsala pangʼono kuti ndichite chinthu china mu Israeli chimene chidzadabwitsa aliyense amene adzamve.
12 In that day I establish to Eli all that I have spoken to his house, beginning and completing;
Tsiku limenelo ndidzachitadi zonse zimene ndinayankhula zokhudza banja la Eli kuyambira poyamba mpaka pomaliza.
13 and I have declared to him that I am judging his house for all time, for the iniquity which he has known, for his sons are making themselves vile, and he has not restrained them,
Pakuti ndinamudziwitsa kuti Ine ndikhoza kulanga banja lake kwamuyaya chifukwa cha zoyipa zimene ana ake ankadziyipitsa nazo. Iye ankadziwa zimenezi koma osawaletsa.
14 and therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli: the iniquity of the house of Eli is not atoned for, by sacrifice, and by offering—for all time.”
Nʼchifukwa chake ndinalumbira kuti, ‘Zoyipa zimene banja la Eli linandichita sizidzafafanizidwa mpaka muyaya ngakhale adzapereke nsembe kapena zopereka zina.’”
15 And Samuel lies until the morning, and opens the doors of the house of YHWH, and Samuel is afraid of declaring the vision to Eli.
Samueli anagona mpaka mmawa. Atadzuka anatsekula zitseko za Nyumba ya Yehova. Iye anachita mantha kumuwuza Eli za masomphenya ake.
16 And Eli calls Samuel and says, “Samuel, my son”; and he says, “Here I [am].”
Koma Eli anamuyitana nati, “Samueli mwana wanga.” Samueli anayankha kuti, “Wawa.”
17 And he says, “What [is] the word which He has spoken to you? Please do not hide it from me; so God does to you, and so does He add, if you hide from me a word of all the words that He has spoken to you.”
Tsono Eli anafunsa kuti, “Yehova wakuwuza chiyani? Usandibisire. Mulungu akulange ndithu ngati undibisira chilichonse cha zimene wakuwuza.”
18 And Samuel declares to him the whole of the words, and has not hid from him; and he says, “It [is] YHWH; that which is good in His eyes He does.”
Choncho Samueli anamuwuza zonse, sanamubisire kalikonse. Ndipo Eli anati, “Iye ndi Yehova, mulekeni achite chimene chamukomera.”
19 And Samuel grows up, and YHWH has been with him, and has not let any of his words fall to the earth;
Yehova anali ndi Samueli pamene amakula, ndipo zonse zimene ankayankhula zinkachitikadi.
20 and all Israel knows, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba, that Samuel is established for a prophet to YHWH.
Ndipo Aisraeli onse kuyambira ku dera la Dani mpaka ku Beeriseba anazindikira kuti Yehova analozadi chala pa Samueli kuti akhale mneneri wake.
21 And YHWH adds to appear in Shiloh, for YHWH has been revealed to Samuel, in Shiloh, by the word of YHWH.
Yehova anapitiriza kuoneka ku Silo, ndipo kumeneko anadziwulula yekha kwa Samueli mwa mawu ake.
