1 Samuel 3
1 The child Samuel ministered to YHWH before Eli. The word of YHWH was rare in those days; there was no frequent vision.
Camo Samuel teh Eli hmalah BAWIPA e thaw a tawk. Hat na tueng dawk BAWIPA e lawk ayounca dawkvah, vision awm hoeh.
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),
Hatnae hnin dawk Eli teh a mit amom teh amae ikhun dawk a i lahun nah,
3 and the lamp of God hadn't yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in YHWH's temple, where the ark of God was;
Cathut thingkong a onae BAWIPA Cathut e hmaiim hmai due hoehnahlan, BAWIPA e Bawkim dawk Samuel a yan navah,
4 that YHWH called, "Samuel. Samuel." And he said, "Here I am."
BAWIPA ni Samuel a kaw teh, ahni ni hivah ka o atipouh.
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.
Eli koe a yawng teh nang ni na kaw dawk kai ka tho telah atipouh. Eli ni ka ca kai ni na kaw hoeh, bout ip leih atipouh. Samuel teh a cei teh bout a i.
6 YHWHG 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."
BAWIPA ni Samuel bout a kaw, Samuel a thaw teh Eli koe bout a cei teh, hivah ka o bangkong kai na kaw telah atipouh. Ahni ni ka ca na kaw hoeh bo bout ip leih telah atipouh.
7 Now Samuel did not yet know God, neither was the word of YHWH yet revealed to him.
Hatnae tueng dawk Samuel ni BAWIPA panuek hoeh rah. BAWIPA e lawk hai ahni koe pâpho hoeh rah.
8 Then YHWH 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 YHWH had called the child.
BAWIPA ni Samuel hah apâthum lah bout a kaw, hatnavah a thaw teh, Eli koe a cei teh, bangkong kai na kaw hivah ka o atipouh. Hattoteh Eli ni camo heh BAWIPA ni a kaw tie a panue.
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.
Samuel koe cet nateh bout ip, bout na kaw pawiteh, BAWIPA lawk dei, na san kai ni ka thai na ti pouh han. Hottelah Samuel teh ama hmuen koe bout a i.
10 And YHWH came and stood, and called as at other times. Then Samuel said, "Speak, for your servant is listening."
BAWIPA teh ahmaloe e patetlah a tho teh kangdue laihoi Samuel Samuel telah a kaw. Samuel ni Oe BAWIPA dei haw, na san ni ka thai telah atipouh.
11 YHWH said to Samuel, "Look, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of everyone who hears it shall tingle.
BAWIPA ni Samuel koevah thai haw, Isarel dawkvah kathainaw e hnâ kahni touh hoi kha sak hanelah, Isarel miphun dawk hno buetbuet touh ka sak han.
12 In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even to the end.
Hot hnin vah a imthung kong ka dei e pueng a kamtawngnae koehoi apout totouh Eli koe lah ka sak han.
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.
A imthungnaw kai ni pout laipalah lawk ka ceng han telah ahni koe ka dei pouh toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnie a canaw teh, kahawi hoeh hno a sak awh nahlangva a canaw yue laipalah a onae yon dawk doeh.
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."
Hatdawkvah Eli imthungnaw e yon teh thuengnae hoi thuengnae hno ni tha thai hoeh, pou a cak han telah Eli imthung koe thoe ka bo toe.
15 And Samuel lay there until the morning, and in the morning he got up and opened the doors of the house of YHWH. And Samuel was afraid to tell Eli the vision.
Samuel te amom totouh a i hnukkhu BAWIPA im takhang a paawng. Samuel ni vision hah Eli koe dei hane a taki.
16 Then Eli said to Samuel, "Samuel, my son." And he replied, "Here I am."
ELi ni Samuel a kaw teh, ka capa Samuel atipouh. Ahni ni kai hivah ka o telah atipouh.
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."
Eli ni nang koe BAWIPA ni a dei e hah bangmaw Kai koe bangcahai hrawk hanh. Nang koe a dei e naw pueng hah ka hmalah na hrawk pawiteh, nang koe Cathut ni sak naseh. Hothlak hoe kapaplah sak naseh telah atipouh.
18 And Samuel told him everything, and did not hide anything from him. And he said, "It is YHWH. Let him do what seems good to him."
Samuel ni hno pueng koung a dei teh a hro e bang boehai tawn hoeh. Eli ni hai ahawi na tie patetlah BAWIPA ni sak na lawiseh telah a dei.
19 So Samuel continued to grow, and YHWH was with him and let none of his words fail.
Samuel a roung teh BAWIPA ni ahni koe a okhai teh, a lawkkam touh boehai talai dawk bawt sak mahoeh.
20 Thus all Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established as a prophet of YHWH.
Samuel teh BAWIPA e a lawk ka tarawi e profet lah ao tie Dan kho hoi kamtawng teh, Beersheba kho apout totouh Isarel miphun pueng ni a panue awh.
21 And YHWH appeared again in Shiloh, for YHWH revealed himself to Samuel.
BAWIPA ni Shiloh vah bout bout a kamnue pouh. BAWIPA e a lawk lahoi Samuel hah lawk a poe.
