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.

Naglingkod kay Yahweh ang batang si Samuel na nakapailalim kay Eli. Madalang ang mga salita ni Yahweh sa mga panahong iyon; walang madalas na pangitain.

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,

Sa panahong iyon, nang si Eli, na ang paningin ay nagsimulang lumabo kaya hindi na siya makakita nang mabuti, ay nakahiga sa kanyang sariling higaan.

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,

Hindi pa namamatay ang ilawan ng Diyos, at nakahiga si Samuel upang matulog sa bahay ni Yahweh, kung saan naroon ang kaban ng Diyos.

4 that Yahweh called unto Samuel, and he said—Behold me!

Tumawag si Yahweh kay Samuel, na nagsabing, “Narito ako.”

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.

Tumakbo si Samuel kay Eli at sinabing, “Narito ako, dahil tinawag mo ako.” Sinabi ni Eli, “Hindi kita tinawag; humiga ka ulit.” Umalis si Samuel at humiga.

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.

Tumawag muli si Yahweh, “Samuel.” Bumangon muli si Samuel at nagtungo kay Eli at sinabing, “Narito ako, dahil tinawag mo ako.” Sumagot si Eli, “Hindi kita tinawag, aking anak; humiga ka muli.”

7 Now, Samuel, as yet knew not Yahweh, —nor, as yet, had been revealed unto him, the word of Yahweh.

Ngayon wala pang anumang karanasan si Samuel kay Yahweh, ni nagkaroon ng anumang mensahe mula kay Yahweh na naibunhayag sa kanya.

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.

Tinawag muli ni Yahweh si Samuel sa ikatlong pagkakataon. Muling bumangon si Samuel at nagtungo kay Eli at sinabing, “Narito ako, sapagka't tinawag mo ako.” Pagkatapos napagtanto ni Eli na tinawag ni Yahweh ang bata.

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.

Pagkatapos sinabi ni Eli kay Samuel, “Umalis ka at humigang muli; kung tatawagin ka niya muli, dapat mong sabihin, 'Magsalita ka, Yahweh, sapagka't nakikinig ang iyong lingkod.''' Kaya umalis si Samuel at minsan pang humiga sa kanyang sariling lugar.

10 Then came Yahweh, and stood, and called as time after time—Samuel! Samuel! And Samuel said, Speak, for thy servant is listening.

Dumating si Yahweh at tumayo; tumawag siya tulad ng ibang mga pagkakataon, “Samuel, Samuel.” Pagkatapos sinabi ni Samuel, “Magsalita ka, sapagka't nakikinig ang iyong lingkod.”

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.

Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Samuel, “Tingnan mo, gagawa akong ng isang bagay sa Israel kung saan manginginig ang mga tainga ng lahat ng makakarinig nito.

12 In that day, will I confirm against Eli, all that I have spoken against his house, —beginning and finishing.

Sa araw na iyon tutuparin ko ang lahat ng bagay na aking sinabi kay Eli tungkol sa kanyang bahay, mula simula hanggang sa katapusan.

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.

Sinabi ko na sa kanya na hahatulan ko ang kanyang sambahayan minsan para sa lahat ng kasalanang kanyang nalaman, dahil nagdala ng sumpa sa kanilang sarili ang kanyang mga anak na lalaki at hindi niya sila pinigilan.

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.

Dahil dito naipangako ko sa sambahayan ni Eli na ang mga kasalanan ng kanyang sambahayan ay hindi kailanman mapapawi sa pamamagitan ng alay o handog.”

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.

Nakahiga si Samuel hanggang umaga; pagkatapos binuksan niya ang mga pintuan ng bahay ni Yahweh. Ngunit natakot si Samuel na sabihin kay Eli ang tungkol sa pangitain.

16 So Eli called Samuel, and said—Samuel! my son. And he said—Behold me!

Pagkatapos tinawag ni Eli si Samuel at sinabing, “Samuel, anak ko.” Sinabi ni Samuel, “Narito ako.”

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.

Sinabi niya, “Ano ang salitang kanyang sinabi sa iyo? Pakiusap huwag mo itong itago mula sa akin. Gawin nawa sa iyo ng Diyos, at higit pa, kung itatago mo ang anumang bagay mula sa akin anuman sa lahat ng salitang sinabi niya sa iyo.”

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.

Sinabi ni Samuel sa kanya ang lahat; wala siyang tinago mula sa kanya. Sinabi ni Eli, “Si Yahweh iyon. Hayaan mong gawin niya anuman ang sa tingin niya ay mabuti sa kanya.”

19 And Samuel grew, —and, Yahweh, proved to he with him, and let none of all his words fall to the ground.

Lumaki si Samuel, at kasama niya si Yahweh at wala sa kanyang mga salitang inihula ang nabigong magkatotoo.

20 So all Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, came to know, —that Samuel had become confirmed as a prophet unto Yahweh.

Nalaman ng buong Israel mula Dan hanggang Beer-seba na hinirang si Samuel upang maging isang propeta ni Yahweh.

21 Thus did Yahweh again appear in Shiloh, —for Yahweh had revealed himself unto Samuel in Shiloh, in the word of Yahweh.

Nagpakita muli si Yahweh sa Shilo, sapagka't ibinunyag niya ang kanyang sarili kay Samuel sa Shilo sa pamamagitan ng kanyang salita.
