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.
Lè sa a, Samyèl te timoun toujou, li t'ap sèvi Seyè a sou zòd Eli. Nan tan sa a se pa t' fasil pou Seyè a te pale ak moun. Se bagay ki te ra anpil pou Seyè a te fè moun wè l'.
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.
Je Eli yo te fin bese, li pa t' ka wè ladan yo ankò. Yon jou lannwit, Eli te kouche nan chanm li ap dòmi.
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],
Samyèl menm te kouche nan Tanp Seyè a, nan pyès kote Bwat Kontra Bondye a te ye a. Lanp lan te limen toujou.
4 and YHWH calls to Samuel, and he says, “Here I [am].”
Seyè a rele Samyèl. Samyèl reponn: -Men mwen wi!
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.
Epi li leve, l' al jwenn Eli, li di l': -Men mwen wi! M' tande ou rele m'! Eli reponn li: -Mwen pa rele ou non! Tounen nan kabann ou. Samyèl ale, li kouche.
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.”
Seyè a rele l' ankò. Samyèl leve, l' al jwenn Eli, li di l': -Men mwen wi! Mwen tande ou rele m'! Men, Eli reponn li: -Pitit mwen, mwen pa rele ou. Al kouche tande!
7 And Samuel has not yet known YHWH, and the word of YHWH is not yet revealed to him.
Samyèl pa t' ankò konnen Seyè a paske Seyè a pa t' ankò janm pale avè l' anvan sa.
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.
Seyè a rele Samyèl yon twazyèm fwa. Samyèl leve, l' al jwenn Eli, epi li di l': -Mwen tande ou rele m'. Men mwen wi! Fwa sa a, Eli vin konprann se Seyè a ki t'ap rele ti gason an.
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.
Li di Samyèl konsa: -Al kouche tande! Si ou tande yo rele ou ankò, w'a reponn: Pale non, Seyè! Sèvitè ou la ap koute ou! Samyèl ale, li kouche nan kabann li.
10 And YHWH comes, and stations Himself, and calls as time by time, “Samuel, Samuel”; and Samuel says, “Speak, for Your servant is hearing.”
Seyè a vini, li kanpe, epi li rele l' jan l' te fè l' anvan an: -Samyèl! Samyèl! Samyèl reponn: -Pale non! Sèvitè ou la ap koute ou!
11 And YHWH says to Samuel, “Behold, I am doing a thing in Israel, at which the two ears of everyone hearing it tingle.
Seyè a di l' konsa: -Mwen pral fè yon gwo bagay nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la. Lè moun va tande sa, yo pral sezi.
12 In that day I establish to Eli all that I have spoken to his house, beginning and completing;
Jou sa a, tout malè mwen te di Eli ki pou te rive fanmi l' yo pral rive vre san manke yonn.
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,
Mwen te di l' mwen tapral pini fanmi l' lan yon sèl kou pou m' fini ak yo poutèt pitit gason l' yo. Li konnen yo t'ap fè sa ki mal, yo t'ap pale Bondye mal, epi li pa di yo anyen.
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.”
Se poutèt sa mwen te fè moun fanmi Eli yo konnen mwen sèmante pa gen ankenn bèt yo ka touye ni ankenn ofrann ki ka fè m' padonnen peche yo fè a.
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.
Samyèl rete nan kabann li jouk denmen maten. Li leve granmaten, li louvri tout pòt nan Tanp Seyè a. Men, li te pè al rakonte Eli vizyon li te fè a.
16 And Eli calls Samuel and says, “Samuel, my son”; and he says, “Here I [am].”
Men Eli rele l': -Samyèl, pitit mwen! Samyèl reponn li: -Men mwen wi!
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.”
Eli mande l': -Kisa Seyè a di ou konsa? Tanpri pa kache m' anyen. Se pou Bondye ba ou pi gwo pinisyon ki genyen si ou kache m' anyen nan sa li di ou la.
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.”
Se konsa Samyèl rapòte l' tout pawòl Seyè a san kache l' anyen. Epi Eli di l': -Se Seyè a li ye, l'a fè tou sa li wè ki bon.
19 And Samuel grows up, and YHWH has been with him, and has not let any of his words fall to the earth;
Samyèl t'ap grandi, Seyè a te avèk li. Li te fè tout pawòl ki te soti nan bouch Samyèl rive vre.
20 and all Israel knows, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba, that Samuel is established for a prophet to YHWH.
Konsa, tout pèp Izrayèl la, depi moun ki te rete nan peyi Dann lan jouk sa ki rete lavil Bècheba, te vin rekonèt Samyèl tankou yon bon pwofèt k'ap pale pawòl Seyè a.
21 And YHWH adds to appear in Shiloh, for YHWH has been revealed to Samuel, in Shiloh, by the word of YHWH.
Seyè a menm te toujou ap parèt lavil Silo, paske se la li te konn fè Samyèl wè li, se la li te konn pale ak li.
