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.
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 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.
Eeliin inni iji isaa arguu dadhabe sun halkan tokko idduma isaa kan durii rafaa ture.
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],
Saamuʼeelis mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessa iddoo taabonni Waaqaa ture sana ture; ibsaan Waaqaa amma illee hin dhaamne ture.
4 and YHWH calls to Samuel, and he says, “Here I [am].”
Waaqayyos Saamuʼeelin ni waame. Saamuʼeelis, “Ani asin jira” jedhee deebise.
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.
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 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.”
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 And Samuel has not yet known YHWH, and the word of YHWH is not yet revealed to him.
Yeroo sana Saamuʼeel Waaqayyoon hin beeku ture; dubbiin Waaqayyos isaaf hin ibsamne ture.
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.
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 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.
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 YHWH comes, and stations Himself, and calls as time by time, “Samuel, Samuel”; and Samuel says, “Speak, for Your servant is hearing.”
Waaqayyos dhufee achi dhaabatee akkuma duraan waametti, “Saamuʼeel! Saamuʼeel!” jedhee waame. Saamuʼeelis, “Garbichi kee dhagaʼaa jiraatii dubbadhu” jedhe.
11 And YHWH says to Samuel, “Behold, I am doing a thing in Israel, at which the two ears of everyone hearing it tingle.
Waaqayyos Saamuʼeeliin akkana jedhe: “Kunoo ani waan gurra namaatti hin tolle tokko Israaʼelitti fiduufin jira.
12 In that day I establish to Eli all that I have spoken to his house, beginning and completing;
Gaafas ani waanan maatii Eelii irratti dubbadhe hundumaa jalqabaa hamma dhumaatti Eeliitti nan fida.
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,
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 to the house of Eli: the iniquity of the house of Eli is not atoned for, by sacrifice, and by offering—for all time.”
Kanaaf ani, ‘Cubbuun mana Eelii aarsaadhaan yookaan qalmaan hin haqamu’ jedhee kakadheera.”
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.
Saamuʼeel hamma bariʼutti ni rafe; ergasii balbala mana Waaqayyoo bane. Innis mulʼata sana Eeliitti himuu sodaatee ture.
16 And Eli calls Samuel and says, “Samuel, my son”; and he says, “Here I [am].”
Eeliin garuu ofitti isa waamee, “Saamuʼeel, yaa ilma koo” jedhe. Saamuʼeelis deebisee, “Ani asin jira” jedheen.
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.”
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 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.”
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 grows up, and YHWH has been with him, and has not let any of his words fall to the earth;
Saamuʼeel guddachaa deeme; Waaqayyos isa wajjin ture; dubbii isaa keessaas tokko iyyuu lafa hin buʼu ture.
20 and all Israel knows, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba, that Samuel is established for a prophet to YHWH.
Israaʼeloonni Daanii hamma Bersheebaatti argaman hundi akka Saamuʼeel raajii Waaqayyoo taʼee fudhatame beekan.
21 And YHWH adds to appear in Shiloh, for YHWH has been revealed to Samuel, in Shiloh, by the word of YHWH.
Waaqayyo ammas Shiilootti mulʼate; inni karaa dubbii isaatiin Saamuʼeelitti of mulʼiseeraatii.
