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.

At ang batang si Samuel ay nangangasiwa sa Panginoon sa harap ni Eli. At ang salita ng Panginoon ay mahalaga noong mga araw na yaon; walang hayag na pangitain.

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),

At nangyari nang panahon na yaon, nang si Eli ay mahiga sa kaniyang dako, (ang kaniya ngang mata'y nagpasimulang lumabo, na siya'y hindi nakakita, )

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;

At ang ilawan ng Dios ay hindi pa namamatay, at si Samuel ay nakahiga upang matulog, sa templo ng Panginoon, na kinaroroonan ng kaban ng Dios;

4 that YHWH called, "Samuel. Samuel." And he said, "Here I am."

Na tinawag ng Panginoon si Samuel: at kaniyang sinabi, Narito ako.

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.

At siya'y tumakbo kay Eli, at nagsabi, Narito ako; sapagka't tinawag mo ako. At kaniyang sinabi, Hindi ako tumawag; mahiga ka uli. At siya'y yumaon at nahiga.

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."

At tumawag pa uli ang Panginoon, Samuel. At bumangon si Samuel at naparoon kay Eli, at nagsabi, Narito ako: sapagka't ako'y tinawag mo. At siya'y sumagot, Hindi ako tumawag, anak ko; mahiga ka uli.

7 Now Samuel did not yet know God, neither was the word of YHWH yet revealed to him.

Hindi pa nga nakikilala ni Samuel ang Panginoon, o ang salita man ng Panginoon ay nahahayag pa sa kaniya.

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.

At tinawag uli ng Panginoon na ikaitlo. At siya'y bumangon, at naparoon kay Eli, at nagsabi, Narito ako; sapagka't ako'y iyong tinawag. At nahalata ni Eli na tinatawag ng Panginoon ang bata.

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.

Kaya't sinabi ni Eli kay Samuel, Yumaon ka, mahiga ka: at mangyayari, na kung tatawagin ka niya, ay iyong sasabihin, Magsalita ka, Panginoon; sapagka't dinirinig ng iyong lingkod. Sa gayo'y yumaon si Samuel at nahiga sa kaniyang dako.

10 And YHWH came and stood, and called as at other times. Then Samuel said, "Speak, for your servant is listening."

At ang Panginoon ay naparoon, at tumayo, at tumawag na gaya ng una, Samuel, Samuel. Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Samuel, Magsalita ka; sapagka't dinirinig ng iyong lingkod.

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.

At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Samuel, Narito, gagawa ako ng isang bagay sa Israel, na ang dalawang tainga ng bawa't isa na nakikinig ay magpapanting.

12 In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even to the end.

Sa araw na yaon ay aking tutuparin kay Eli ang lahat na aking sinalita tungkol sa kaniyang sangbahayan, mula sa pasimula hanggang sa wakas.

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.

Sapagka't aking isinaysay sa kaniya na aking huhukuman ang kaniyang sangbahayan magpakailan man, dahil sa kasamaan na kaniyang nalalaman, sapagka't ang kaniyang mga anak ay nagdala ng sumpa sa kanilang sarili, at hindi niya sinangsala sila.

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."

At kaya't ako'y sumumpa sa sangbahayan ni Eli, na ang kasamaan ng sangbahayan ni Eli ay hindi mapapawi ng hain, o handog man magpakailan man.

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.

At nahiga si Samuel hanggang sa kinaumagahan, at ibinukas ang mga pinto ng bahay ng Panginoon. At natakot si Samuel na saysayin kay Eli ang panaginip.

16 Then Eli said to Samuel, "Samuel, my son." And he replied, "Here I am."

Nang magkagayo'y tinawag ni Eli si Samuel, at nagsabi, Samuel, anak ko. At kaniyang sinabi, Narito ako.

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."

At kaniyang sinabi, Ano ang bagay na sinalita sa iyo? isinasamo ko sa iyo na huwag mong ilihim sa akin: hatulan ka ng Dios, at lalo na, kung iyong ililihim sa akin ang anomang bagay sa lahat ng mga bagay na kaniyang sinalita sa iyo.

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."

At isinaysay sa kaniya ni Samuel ang buong sinalita, at hindi naglihim ng anoman sa kaniya. At kaniyang sinabi, Panginoon nga: gawin niya ang inaakala niyang mabuti.

19 So Samuel continued to grow, and YHWH was with him and let none of his words fail.

At si Samuel ay lumalaki at ang Panginoon ay sumasakaniya, at walang di pinapangyari sa kaniyang mga salita.

20 Thus all Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established as a prophet of YHWH.

At nakilala ng buong Israel mula sa Dan hanggang sa Beer-seba na si Samuel ay itinatag na maging propeta ng Panginoon.

21 And YHWH appeared again in Shiloh, for YHWH revealed himself to Samuel.

At napakilala uli ang Panginoon sa Silo, sapagka't ang Panginoo'y napakilala kay Samuel sa Silo sa pamamagitan ng salita ng Panginoon.
