1 And the lad Samuel [was] serving Yahweh before Eli and [the] word of Yahweh it was rare in the days those not vision [was] spread out.
Samuel, ɖevi sue la, nɔ Yehowa subɔm to kpekpe ɖe Eli ŋu me. Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, ƒãa hafi Yehowa naƒo nu na amegbetɔ eye ŋutegakpɔkpɔ hã mebɔ o.
2 And it was on the day that and Eli [was] lying in place his (and eyes his *Q(K)*) they began dim not he was able to see.
Fifia, Eli zu amegãɖeɖi eye eƒe ŋkuwo megakpɔa nu tututu o. Emlɔ eƒe xɔ me le zã me gbe ɖeka eye
3 And [the] lamp of God not yet it was extinguished and Samuel [was] lying in [the] temple of Yahweh where [was] there [the] ark of God.
Samuel hã mlɔ gbedoxɔ la me le afi si nubablaɖaka la nɔ. Ke esi wòsusɔ vie woatsi xɔmekaɖiwo la,
4 And he called Yahweh to Samuel and he said here [am] I.
Yehowa yɔe be, “Samuel! Samuel!” Samuel tɔ be, “Papaa!”
5 And he ran to Eli and he said here [am] I for you summoned me and he said not I summoned return lie down and he went and he lay down.
Efɔ eye wòƒu du yi Eli gbɔ hegblɔ be, “Nyee nye esi, nu ka mawɔ na wò?” Eli gblɔ nɛ be, “Vinye, nyemeyɔ wò o, yi ɖamlɔ anyi.” Ale wòtrɔ yi ɖamlɔ anyi.
6 And he repeated Yahweh to call again Samuel and he rose Samuel and he went to Eli and he said here [am] I for you summoned me and he said not I summoned O son my return lie down.
Yehowa gayɔe ake be, “Samuel! Samuel!” Samuel gafɔ eye wògaƒu du yi Eli gbɔ. Egagblɔ be, “Nye aƒetɔ, nu ka mawɔ na wò?” Eli gblɔ be, “Vinye, nyemeyɔ wò o, yi nàmlɔ anyi.”
7 And Samuel not yet he knew Yahweh and not yet it was revealed to him [the] word of Yahweh.
Samuel medze si Yehowa haɖe o eye Yehowa meƒo nu nɛ kpɔ haɖe hã o.
8 And he repeated Yahweh to call Samuel at the third [time] and he rose and he went to Eli and he said here [am] I for you summoned me and he understood Eli that Yahweh [was] summoning the lad.
Yehowa gayɔ Samuel zi etɔ̃lia. Samuel gaƒu du yi Eli gbɔ eye wògagblɔ nɛ be, “Nye aƒetɔ, nu ka mawɔ na wò?” Azɔ Eli dze sii be Yehowae nɔ nu ƒom na ɖevia
9 And he said Eli to Samuel go lie down and it will be that [if] he will call to you and you will say speak O Yahweh for [is] listening servant your and he went Samuel and he lay down in place his.
eya ta wògblɔ na Samuel be, “Gayi ɖamlɔ anyi; ne egayɔ wò la, nàgblɔ nɛ be, ‘Yehowa ƒo nu, wò dɔla le to ɖom.’” Samuel gayi ɖamlɔ anyi.
10 And he came Yahweh and he stood and he called as time on time O Samuel - O Samuel and he said Samuel speak for [is] listening servant your.
Yehowa gayɔe abe tsã ene be, “Samuel! Samuel!” Samuel ɖo eŋu be, “Aƒetɔ, meɖe kuku, ƒo nu, wò dɔla le to ɖom.”
11 And he said Yahweh to Samuel here! I [am] about to do a thing in Israel which every [one who] hears it they will tingle [the] two ears his.
Yehowa gblɔ na Samuel be, “Mele nu dziŋɔ aɖe wɔ ge le Israel.
12 On the day that I will carry out against Eli all that I have spoken against house his beginning and ending.
Mawɔ nu dziŋɔ siwo katã ŋu meƒo nu tsoe na Eli.
13 And I tell to him that [am] about to judge I house his until perpetuity for [the] iniquity which he knew that [were] bringing a curse to themselves sons his and not he rebuked them.
Metsɔ tohehe do ŋgɔ na Eli kple eƒe ƒome blibo la elabena viawo le busunuwo wɔm ɖe Mawu ŋu eye Eli megbe na wo o.
14 And therefore I swear to [the] house of Eli if it will be atoned for [the] iniquity of [the] house of Eli by sacrifice and by an offering until perpetuity.
Eya ta meka atam be vɔsawo kple nunanawo mate ŋu ana woatsɔ Eli kple viawo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ake akpɔ o.”
15 And he lay Samuel until the morning and he opened [the] doors of [the] house of Yahweh and Samuel he was afraid from telling the vision to Eli.
Samuel nɔ anyimlɔƒe va se ɖe ŋdi. Eʋu gbedoxɔ la ƒe ʋɔtru abe ale si wòwɔna ɖaa ene, ke enɔ vɔvɔ̃m be yeagblɔ nya si Yehowa gblɔ nɛ la na Eli.
16 And he called Eli Samuel and he said O Samuel son my and he said here [am] I.
Ke Eli yɔe be, “Vinye Samuel.” Samuel ɖo eŋu be, “Nyee nye esi.”
17 And he said what? [was] the word which he spoke to you may not please you hide [it] from me thus may he do to you God and thus may he add if you will hide from me a word from all the word which he spoke to you.
Eli biae be, “Nya kae Yehowa gblɔ na wò? Gblɔ nya sia nya nam; Mawu nehe to na wò vevie ne ètsɔ nya aɖe ɣlam!”
18 And he told to him Samuel all the words and not he hid [them] from him and he said [is] Yahweh he the good (in eyes his *Q(K)*) let him do.
Ale Samuel gblɔ nya sia nya si Yehowa gblɔ nɛ la na Eli eye Eli ɖo eŋu be, “Yehowa ƒe lɔlɔ̃nue; eya ŋutɔ nena nu si tututu wòkpɔ be eyae nye nyuitɔ la nava eme.”
19 And he grew up Samuel and Yahweh he was with him and not he made fall any of all words his [the] ground towards.
Esi Samuel nɔ tsitsim la, Yehowa nɔ kplii eye wòna be nya sia nya si Samuel gblɔ la vaa eme.
20 And it knew all Israel from Dan and to Beer Sheba that [was being] established Samuel to a prophet of Yahweh.
Eya ta Israel blibo la, tso Dan yi Beerseba nya be Yehowa ɖo Samuel nyagblɔɖilae.
21 And he repeated Yahweh to appear at Shiloh for he revealed himself Yahweh to Samuel at Shiloh by [the] word of Yahweh.
Yehowa gaɖea eɖokui fiana le Silo. Eɖe eɖokui fia Samuel eye wòƒo nu nɛ le afi ma. Ne Samuel ƒo nu la, Israel blibo la ɖoa toe.
