1 Samuel 3
1 Now, the boy Samuel, was ministering unto Yahweh, before Eli, —and, the word of Yahweh, had become rare in those days, there was no well-known vision.
Ary Samoela zaza nanao fanompoam-pivavahana tamin’ i Jehovah teo anatrehan’ i Ely. Ary tamin’ izany andro izany efa nahàlana ny tenin’ i Jehovah: tsy nisy fahitana niseho loatra.
2 But it came to pass, at that time, when Eli was lying down in his place, his eyes, having begun to be dim, he could not see,
Ary tamin’ izany andro izany, raha nandry tao amin’ ny fandriany Ely (efa pahina ny masony, ka tsy nahita izy),
3 though, the lamp of God, was not yet to be put out, and, Samuel, was lying down in the temple of Yahweh, where was the ark of God,
sady tsy mbola maty ny jiron’ Andriamanitra, ary Samoela efa nandry tao amin’ ny tempolin’ i Jehovah, izay nisy ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra,
4 that Yahweh called unto Samuel, and he said—Behold me!
dia niantso an’ i Samoela Jehovah, ary izy namaly hoe: Inty aho.
5 So he ran unto Eli and said—Behold me! for thou calledst me. And he said—I called not, return—Its down. So he went, and lie down.
Dia nihazakazaka nankeo amin’ i Ely izy ka nanao hoe: Inty aho, fa niantso ahy ianao. Fa hoy Ely: Tsy niantso aho, andeha mandry ihany. Dia lasa nandry izy.
6 And again Yahweh called once there—Samuel! Then rose Samuel, and went unto Eli, and said—Behold me! for thou calledst me. And he said—I called not, my son, return—lie down.
Ary Jehovah niantso azy indray hoe: Ry Samoela! Dia nifoha Samoela ka nankao amin’ i Ely ary nanao hoe: Inty aho, fa niantso ahy ianao. Fa hoy izy: Tsy niantso aho, anaka; andeha mandry ihany.
7 Now, Samuel, as yet knew not Yahweh, —nor, as yet, had been revealed unto him, the word of Yahweh.
Ary Samoela tsy mbola nahalala an’ i Jehovah, sady tsy mbola nanehoana ny tenin’ i Jehovah izy.
8 And again Yahweh called—Samuel! a third time. Then he arose, and went unto Eli, and said—Behold me! for thou calledst me. Then did Eli perceive, that, Yahweh, was calling the boy.
Ary Jehovah niantso an’ i Samoela indray fanintelony. Dia nifoha izy ka nankao amin’ i Ely ary nanao hoe: Inty aho, fa niantso ahy ianao. Dia fantatr’ i Ely fa Jehovah no niantso ny zaza.
9 So Eli said to Samuel—Go, lie down, and it shall be, if he call unto thee, that thou shalt say—Speak, Yahweh, for thy servant is listening. And Samuel went, and lay down in his place.
Ary hoy Ely tamin’ i Samoela: Andeha mandry ihany; ary raha tàhiny miantso anao Izy, dia valio hoe: Mitenena, Jehovah ô; fa mihaino ny mpanomponao. Dia lasa Samoela nandry tao amin’ ny fandriany.
10 Then came Yahweh, and stood, and called as time after time—Samuel! Samuel! And Samuel said, Speak, for thy servant is listening.
Ary avy Jehovah, dia nitsangana ka niantso toy ny teo ihany hoe: Ry Samoela, ry Samoela ô! Dia namaly Samoela hoe: Mitenena, fa mihaino ny mpanomponao.
11 And Yahweh said unto Samuel, Lo! I am doing a thing, in Israel, —at which both ears of everyone that heareth it shall tingle.
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Samoela: Indro, Izaho hanao zavatra eo amin’ ny Isiraely, ka izay rehetra mandre izany, dia hangintsingintsina ny sofiny roa.
12 In that day, will I confirm against Eli, all that I have spoken against his house, —beginning and finishing.
Amin’ izany andro izany dia hotanterahiko amin’ i Ely izay zavatra rehetra voalazako ny amin’ ny taranany: hatomboko izany, ka dia hotanterahiko.
13 Therefore do I tell him, that I am about to judge his house unto times age-abiding, for the iniquity which he knoweth, in that his sons are cursing God, and he hath not rebuked them.
Fa efa nambarako taminy fa hotsaraiko mandrakizay ny taranany noho ny heloka izay fantany, satria ny zanany nahatonga ozona ho an’ ny tenany, nefa tsy nosakanany.
14 And therefore have I sworn, respecting the house of Eli, —that the iniquity of the house of Eli shall receive no propitiatory-covering, by sacrifice or by present, unto times age-abiding.
Koa izany no nianianako ny amin’ ny taranak’ i Ely fa tsy hisy fanatitra hahafaka ny helony mandrakizay.
15 And Samuel lay until the morning, and rose early in the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Yahweh, —but, Samuel, feared to tell the appearing, unto Eli.
Ary nandry Samoela mandra-pahamarain’ ny andro, dia namoha ny varavaran’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah izy. Ary Samoela natahotra hilaza ny fahitana tamin’ i Ely.
16 So Eli called Samuel, and said—Samuel! my son. And he said—Behold me!
Fa Ely niantso an’ i Samoela ka nanao hoe: Ry Samoela, zanako! Dia hoy izy: Inty aho.
17 And he said—What is the word, which he spake unto thee? I pray thee, do not hide it from me. So, let God do to thee, and, so, let him add, if thou hide from me a word, out of anything which he hath spoken unto thee.
Ary hoy izy: Inona no zavatra nolazain’ i Jehovah taminao? masìna ianao, aza afeninao ahy; hataon’ Andriamanitra aminao anie izany, eny, mihoatra noho izany aza, raha nisy afeninao ahy ny zavatra rehetra nolazainy taminao.
18 So Samuel told him all the words, and hid nothing from him. And he said, Yahweh, he is; what is good in his own eyes, let him do.
Dia nambaran’ i Samoela azy avokoa ny zavatra rehetra, ka tsy nisy nafeniny azy. Dia hoy Ely: Izy no Jehovah, aoka Izy hanao izay sitraky ny fony.
19 And Samuel grew, —and, Yahweh, proved to he with him, and let none of all his words fall to the ground.
Ary nitombo Samoela, sady nomba azy Jehovah, ka tsy nisy navelany ho raraka an-tany ny teniny.
20 So all Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, came to know, —that Samuel had become confirmed as a prophet unto Yahweh.
Ary ny Isiraely rehetra hatrany Dana ka hatrany Beri-sheba nahalala fa efa mpaminanin’ i Jehovah tokoa Samoela.
21 Thus did Yahweh again appear in Shiloh, —for Yahweh had revealed himself unto Samuel in Shiloh, in the word of Yahweh.
Dia niseho tao Silo indray Jehovah; fa niseho tamin’ i Samoela tao Silo Jehovah tamin’ ny teniny.
