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.
Nitoroñe Iehovà ambane’ i Elý eo t’i Samoele ajaja. Tsy siake nampiboake tsara t’Iehovà henane zay; tsy nahaoniñañ’ aroñaroñe.
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,
Aa teo te indraike haleñe, naho nàndre añ’efe’e ao t’i Elý, ie niha-fè o fihaino’eo tsy nahaisake soa;
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,
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 Yahweh called unto Samuel, and he said—Behold me!
Aa le kinanji’ Iehovà t’i Samoele, Intoy iraho, hoe re.
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.
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 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.
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, as yet knew not Yahweh, —nor, as yet, had been revealed unto him, the word of Yahweh.
Nialik’ amy Samoele t’Iehovà, amy te mboe tsy nabentatse ama’e ty tsara’ Iehovà.
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.
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 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.
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 Then came Yahweh, and stood, and called as time after time—Samuel! Samuel! And Samuel said, Speak, for thy 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 And Yahweh said unto Samuel, Lo! I am doing a thing, in Israel, —at which both ears of everyone that heareth 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, will I confirm against Eli, all that I have spoken against his house, —beginning and finishing.
Amy andro zay, le hafetsako amy Elý naho amy hasavereña’e iabiy i vinolakoy sikal’am-baloha’e pak’am-para’e.
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 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 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.
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 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.
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 So Eli called Samuel, and said—Samuel! my son. And he said—Behold me!
Aa le kinanji’ i Elý t’i Samoele: O Samoele, anako! hoe re, Intoy iraho, hoe ty natoi’e.
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.
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 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.
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 And Samuel grew, —and, Yahweh, proved to he with him, and let none of all his words fall to the ground.
Nitombo t’i Samoele, le tama’e t’Iehovà vaho leo raike amo tsara’eo tsy napo’e an-tane.
20 So all Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, came to know, —that Samuel had become confirmed as a prophet unto Yahweh.
Songa nifohi’ Israele boake Dane pake Be’er-sevà añe te mpitoky noriza’ Iehovà t’i Samoele.
21 Thus did Yahweh again appear in Shiloh, —for Yahweh had revealed himself unto Samuel in Shiloh, in the word of Yahweh.
Nitolom-piboake e Silò ao t’Iehovà le niatreke i Samoele e Silò t’Iehovà, ty amy tsara’ Iehovày.
