1 Samuel 3
1 The child Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli. The word of the LORD was rare in those days; there was no frequent vision.
Nitoroñe Iehovà ambane’ i Elý eo t’i Samoele ajaja. Tsy siake nampiboake tsara t’Iehovà henane zay; tsy nahaoniñañ’ aroñaroñe.
2 It happened at that time, when Eli was lying down in his place (now his eyes had begun to grow dim, so that he could not see),
Aa teo te indraike haleñe, naho nàndre añ’efe’e ao t’i Elý, ie niha-fè o fihaino’eo tsy nahaisake soa;
3 and the lamp of God hadn't yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the LORD's temple, where the ark of God was;
mboe tsy nakipeke ty failo an-kivohon’ Añahare ao te niroro añ’anjomba’ Iehovà t’i Samoele amy toe’ i vatam-pañinan’ Añahareiy.
4 that the LORD called, "Samuel. Samuel." And he said, "Here I am."
Aa le kinanji’ Iehovà t’i Samoele, Intoy iraho, hoe re.
5 He ran to Eli, and said, "Here I am; for you called me." He said, "I did not call; lie down again." He went and lay down.
Nivotivoty mb’amy Elý mb’eo re nanao ty hoe: Intoy iraho, amy te kinanji’o. Tsy nitok’ azo iraho, hoe t’i Elý, Mandrea indraike. Aa le nibalike re, nàndre.
6 The LORD called yet again, "Samuel. Samuel." And he got up and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am; for you called me." He answered, "I did not call, my son; lie down again."
Kinanji’ Iehovà indraike t’i Samoele; le nitroatse t’i Samoele, nimb’ amy Elý mb’eo nanao ty hoe: Intoy iraho, amy kanji’oy. Tsy tinokako irehe, anako, hoe re, Akia mandrea.
7 Now Samuel did not yet know God, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed to him.
Nialik’ amy Samoele t’Iehovà, amy te mboe tsy nabentatse ama’e ty tsara’ Iehovà.
8 Then the LORD called Samuel again the third time, and he got up and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you called me." Then Eli realized that the LORD had called the child.
Kinanji’ Iehovà fañintelo’e t’i Samoele. Nitroatse t’i Samoele, nimb’amy Elý mb’eo, nanao ty hoe: Intoy iraho, fa kinanji’o. Nifohi’ i Elý amy zao te Iehovà ty nikanjy i ajalahiy.
9 So he said, "Go, lie down, and if he calls you, reply, 'Speak, for your servant is listening.'" Then Samuel went and lay down in his place.
Akia, mandrea, hoe ty asa’ i Elý amy Samoele, Ie mikanjy azo, anò ty hoe: Mitsarà ry Iehovà, fa itsanoña’ ty mpitoro’o. Aa le nimb’eo t’i Samoele nàndre an-traño’e ao.
10 And the LORD came and stood, and called as at other times. Then Samuel said, "Speak, for your servant is listening."
Nimb’eo amy zao t’Iehovà nijohañe eo, nikanjy amy hoe rezay: Samoele, Samoele! le hoe t’i Samoele, Mitsarà fa mitsanoñe o mpitoro’oo.
11 The LORD said to Samuel, "Look, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of everyone who hears it shall tingle.
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Samoele: Hampijadoñeko tsara e Israele ao hampiñiñiñiñe ty ravembia roe’ ze mahajanjiñe aze.
12 In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even to the end.
Amy andro zay, le hafetsako amy Elý naho amy hasavereña’e iabiy i vinolakoy sikal’am-baloha’e pak’am-para’e.
13 For I have told him that I will judge his house forever, for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons were cursing God, and he did not restrain them.
Fa vinolako ama’e te hametsahako zaka i añanjomba’ey, amy te napota’e ty hakeon’ ana’e—ie namà-batañe—f’ie tsy nimane hampijihetse iareo.
14 Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be removed with sacrifice nor offering forever."
Izay ty nifantàko amy hasavereña’ i Elìy, t’ie: Ndra enga ino ndra soroñ’ ino tsy hahajebañe o tahiñe anoe’ ty hasavereña’ i Elio.
15 And Samuel lay there until the morning, and in the morning he got up and opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel was afraid to tell Eli the vision.
Nàndre am-pandrea’e ao avao t’i Samoele am-para’ te maraiñe, vaho sinoka’e o lalam-bein’ anjomba’ Iehovào. F’ie nihemban-dre tsy te hitalily amy Elý i aroñaroñey.
16 Then Eli said to Samuel, "Samuel, my son." And he replied, "Here I am."
Aa le kinanji’ i Elý t’i Samoele: O Samoele, anako! hoe re, Intoy iraho, hoe ty natoi’e.
17 He said, "What is the thing that he has spoken to you? Please do not hide it from me. May God do thus to you if you hide anything from me of all the words that he spoke to you in your ears."
Ino ty tsinara’e ama’o? hoe re. Ehe, ko añetaha’o amako. Ee te hanoen’ Añahare ama’o naho mandikoatse, naho akafi’o amako ndra inoñ’ inoñ’ amo tsinara’e ama’oo.
18 And Samuel told him everything, and did not hide anything from him. And he said, "It is the LORD. Let him do what seems good to him."
Aa le natalili’ i Samoele ama’e ze hene nitsaraeñe, tsy eo ty naeta’e; le hoe t’i Elý: Ie Iehovà! Ehe te hanoe’e ze soa am-pihaino’e.
19 So Samuel continued to grow, and the LORD was with him and let none of his words fail.
Nitombo t’i Samoele, le tama’e t’Iehovà vaho leo raike amo tsara’eo tsy napo’e an-tane.
20 Thus all Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established as a prophet of the LORD.
Songa nifohi’ Israele boake Dane pake Be’er-sevà añe te mpitoky noriza’ Iehovà t’i Samoele.
21 And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh, for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel.
Nitolom-piboake e Silò ao t’Iehovà le niatreke i Samoele e Silò t’Iehovà, ty amy tsara’ Iehovày.
