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.

Samuẹli ọmọkùnrin náà ṣe òjíṣẹ́ níwájú Olúwa ní abẹ́ Eli. Ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ṣọ̀wọ́n: kò sì sí ìran púpọ̀.

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,

Ní alẹ́ ọjọ́ kan Eli ẹni tí ojú rẹ̀ ti bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí di aláìlágbára, tí kò sì ríran dáradára, ó dùbúlẹ̀ ní ipò rẹ̀ bi ti àtẹ̀yìnwá.

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,

Nígbà tí iná kò tí ì kú Samuẹli dùbúlẹ̀ nínú tẹmpili Olúwa, níbi tí àpótí Olúwa gbé wà.

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

Nígbà náà ni Olúwa pe Samuẹli. Samuẹli sì dáhùn, “Èmi nìyí.”

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.

Ó sì sáré lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ Eli ó sì wí pé, “Èmi nìyí nítorí pé ìwọ pè mí.” Ṣùgbọ́n Eli wí fún un pé, “Èmi kò pè ọ́; padà lọ dùbúlẹ̀.” Nítorí náà ó lọ ó sì lọ dùbúlẹ̀.

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.

Olúwa sì tún pè é, “Samuẹli!” Samuẹli tún dìde ó tọ Eli lọ, ó sì wí pé, “Èmi nìyìí, nítorí tí ìwọ pè mí.” “Ọmọ mi, èmi kò pè ọ́, padà lọ dùbúlẹ̀.”

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

Ní àkókò yìí Samuẹli kò tí ì mọ̀ Olúwa: bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kò sì tí ì fi ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa hàn án.

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.

Olúwa pe Samuẹli ní ìgbà kẹta, Samuẹli sì tún dìde, ó sì lọ sọ́dọ̀ Eli ó sì wí pé, “Èmi nìyìí; nítorí tí ìwọ pè mí.” Nígbà náà ni Eli wá mọ̀ pé Olúwa ni ó ń pe ọmọ náà.

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.

Nítorí náà Eli sọ fún Samuẹli, “Lọ kí o lọ dùbúlẹ̀. Tí o bá sì pè ọ́, sọ wí pé, ‘Máa wí, Olúwa nítorí tí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ń gbọ́.’” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Samuẹli lọ, ó sì lọ dùbúlẹ̀ ní ààyè rẹ̀.

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

Olúwa wá, ó sì dúró níbẹ̀, ó pè é bí ó ṣe pè é ní ìgbà tí ó kọjá, “Samuẹli! Samuẹli!” Nígbà náà ni Samuẹli dáhùn pé, “Máa wí nítorí tí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ń gbọ́.”

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.

Olúwa sọ fún Samuẹli pé, “Wò ó, èmi ṣetán láti ṣe ohun kan ní Israẹli tí yóò jẹ́ kí etí gbogbo ènìyàn tí ó gbọ́ ọ já gooro.

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

Ní ìgbà náà ni èmi yóò mú ohun gbogbo tí mo ti sọ sí ilé Eli ṣẹ láti ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ dé òpin.

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.

Nítorí èmi sọ fún un pé, Èmi yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ fún ilé rẹ̀ títí láé nítorí ìwà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn tí òun mọ̀ nípa rẹ̀ nítorí àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ sọ ọ̀rọ̀-òdì, òun kò sì dá wọn lẹ́kun.

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.

Nítorí náà, mo búra sí ilé Eli, ‘Ìwà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ilé Eli ni a kì yóò fi ẹbọ tàbí ọrẹ mú kúrò láéláé.’”

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.

Samuẹli dùbúlẹ̀ títí di òwúrọ̀ nígbà náà ó sì ṣí ìlẹ̀kùn ilé Olúwa, ó sì bẹ̀rù láti sọ ìran náà fún Eli.

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

Ṣùgbọ́n Eli pè é, ó sì wí pé, “Samuẹli, ọmọ mi.” Samuẹli sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi nìyìí.”

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.

Eli béèrè pé, “Kín ni ohun tí ó sọ fún ọ?” “Má ṣe fi pamọ́ fún mi. Kí Ọlọ́run mi ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ sí ọ àti jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ pẹ̀lú, bí ìwọ bá fi ohunkóhun tí ó wí fún ọ pamọ́ fún mi.”

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.

Samuẹli sọ gbogbo rẹ̀ fún un, kò sì fi ohun kankan pamọ́ fún un. Nígbà náà Eli wí pé, “Òun ni Olúwa; jẹ́ kí ó ṣe ohun tí ó dára ní ojú rẹ̀.”

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

Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú Samuẹli bí ó ṣe ń dàgbà, kò sì jẹ́ kí ọ̀kan nínú ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ kùnà.

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

Gbogbo Israẹli láti Dani títí dé Beerṣeba mọ̀ pé a ti fa Samuẹli kalẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí wòlíì Olúwa.

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

Olúwa sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní fi ara hàn án ní Ṣilo, nítorí Olúwa ti fi ará hàn án fún Samuẹli ní Ṣilo nípa ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa.
