< 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.
Na i te minita te tamaiti, a Hamuera, ki a Ihowa i te aroaro o Eri. A he taonga momohanga te kupu a Ihowa i aua ra; kahore he whakakitenga nui.
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.
Na i taua wa kei te takoto a Eri i tona wahi, kua timata hoki ona kanohi te atarua, kahore hoki i ata kite:
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],
Na kahore ano te rama a te Atua kia pirau noa, a i te takoto a Hamuera, he moe, i roto i te temepara o Ihowa, i te wahi i tu ai te aaka a te Atua;
4 and YHWH calls to Samuel, and he says, “Here I [am].”
Na ka karanga a Ihowa ki a Hamuera; ka mea tera, Tenei ahau.
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.
Na ka rere ia ki a Eri, ka mea, Tenei ahau; i karanga ake na hoki koe ki ahau. Na ka mea tera, Kihai ahau i karanga; hoki atu ki te takoto. Na haere ana ia, takoto ana.
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.”
Na ka karanga ano hoki a Ihowa, E Hamuera. A ka whakatika a Hamuera, haere ana ki a Eri, ka mea, Tenei ahau; i karanga ake na hoki koe ki ahau. Na ka mea tera, Kihai ahau i karanga, e taku tamaiti: hoki atu ki te takoto.
7 And Samuel has not yet known YHWH, and the word of YHWH is not yet revealed to him.
Na kahore a Hamuera i mohio noa ki a Ihowa, kahore ano hoki te kupu a Ihowa i whakapuakina noatia ki a ia.
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.
Na ka karanga ano a Ihowa i a Hamuera, ko te tuatoru o nga karangatanga. A ka whakatika ia, ka haere ki a Eri, ka mea, Tenei ahau: i karanga ake na hoki koe ki ahau. Na ka mohio a Eri ko Ihowa tera i karanga ra ki te tamaiti.
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.
Na ka mea a Eri ki a Hamuera, Haere ki te takoto: a ki te karanga ia ki a koe, ka mea ake koe, Korero e Ihowa; e whakarongo ana hoki tau pononga. Heoi, haere ana a Hamuera, a takoto ana i tona wahi.
10 And YHWH comes, and stations Himself, and calls as time by time, “Samuel, Samuel”; and Samuel says, “Speak, for Your servant is hearing.”
Na ka haere mai a Ihowa, ka tu, ka karanga, ka pera me era karangatanga, E Hamuera, e Hamuera. Katahi ka mea a Hamuera, Korero; e whakarongo ana hoki tau pononga.
11 And YHWH says to Samuel, “Behold, I am doing a thing in Israel, at which the two ears of everyone hearing it tingle.
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hamuera, Nana, ka mahia e ahau he mahi i roto i a Iharaira, e paorooro ai nga taringa e rua o te hunga katoa e rangona ai.
12 In that day I establish to Eli all that I have spoken to his house, beginning and completing;
Ko te rangi tena e puta ake ai i ahau mo Eri nga mea katoa i korerotia e ahau mo tona whare: i te timatanga a ki te mutunga.
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,
Kua mea atu na hoki ahau ki a ia, ka whakawakia tona whare e ahau a ake ake, mo te kino i mohiotia na e ia; mo ta ana tama i mea ai, i tau ai he kanga ki a raua, a kihai ia i pehi i a raua.
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.”
Na reira kua oati ahau mo te whare o Eri, E kore e tau te patunga tapu, te whakahere totokore ranei, hei pure mo te kino o te whare o Eri a ake ake.
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.
Na takoto tonu a Hamuera a tae noa ki te ata, na uakina ana e ia nga tatau o te whare o Ihowa. A i wehi a Hamuera ki te whakaatu ki a Eri i te mea i whakakitea mai ki a ia.
16 And Eli calls Samuel and says, “Samuel, my son”; and he says, “Here I [am].”
Na ka karanga a Eri ki a Hamuera, ka mea, E Hamuera, e taku tamaiti; a ka mea tera, Tenei ahau.
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.”
Na ka mea ia, Tena koa te kupu i korerotia e Ihowa ki a koe? Kaua ra e huna ki ahau: kia meatia tenei e te Atua ki a koe, etahi atu mea ano hoki, ki te huna e koe i ahau tetahi o nga kupu katoa i korerotia e ia ki a koe.
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.”
Na ka korerotia nga kupu katoa e Hamuera ki a ia, kihai hoki i huna tetahi mea i a ia. Na ka mea tera, Na Ihowa ra hoki: mana e mea ta tona whakaaro i pai ai.
19 And Samuel grows up, and YHWH has been with him, and has not let any of his words fall to the earth;
Nawai a ka kaumatua a Hamuera, a noho ana a Ihowa ki a ia, kihai hoki tetahi o ana kupu i tukua e ia kia taka ki te whenua.
20 and all Israel knows, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba, that Samuel is established for a prophet to YHWH.
A i mohi a Iharaira katoa, o Rana a tae noa ki Peerehepa, kua whakapumautia a Hamuera hei poropiti ma Ihowa.
21 And YHWH adds to appear in Shiloh, for YHWH has been revealed to Samuel, in Shiloh, by the word of YHWH.
A i puta mai ano a Ihowa i Hiro: i whakaatu ano hoki a Ihowa i a ia ki a Hamuera i Hiro, he mea korero mai na Ihowa.
