1 Samuel 3
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.
Abarimaa Samuel dii Eli nan ase, somm Awurade. Saa ɛberɛ no na asɛm a wɔte firi Awurade nkyɛn ne anisoadehunu yɛ adeɛ a ɛho yɛ na.
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.
Anadwo bi, na Eli a nʼani reyɛ afira koraa no kɔdaeɛ nkyɛree koraa.
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.
Na Onyankopɔn kanea no nnya nnumiiɛ. Saa ɛberɛ no na Samuel da Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu baabi a ɛbɛn Onyankopɔn adaka no.
4 And he called Yahweh to Samuel and he said here [am] I.
Prɛko pɛ, Awurade frɛɛ sɛ, “Samuel! Samuel!” Samuel buaa sɛ, “Menie.”
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.
Na ɔyɛɛ ntɛm kɔɔ Eli nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Menie! Wofrɛɛ me?” Eli nso buaa no sɛ, “Memfrɛɛ wo, na sane kɔda.” Enti ɔsane kɔdaeɛ.
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.
Awurade sane frɛɛ bio sɛ, “Samuel!” Bio, Samuel sane yɛɛ ntɛm kɔɔ Eli nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Menie! Wofrɛɛ me?” Eli buaa no sɛ, “Me ba, memfrɛɛ wo, na sane kɔda.”
7 And Samuel not yet he knew Yahweh and not yet it was revealed to him [the] word of Yahweh.
Na Samuel nnya nhunuu Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ, na Awurade asɛm mmaa ne nkyɛn da.
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.
Enti afei, Awurade frɛɛ Samuel ne mprɛnsa so. Na Samuel yɛɛ ntɛm kɔɔ Eli nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Menie! Wofrɛɛ me?” Ɛhɔ na Eli hunuu sɛ ɛyɛ Awurade na ɔrefrɛ abarimaa no.
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.
Enti, ɔka kyerɛɛ Samuel sɛ, “Kɔ na kɔda bio, na sɛ wote sɛ obi refrɛ wo a, gye so na ka sɛ, ‘Menie, Awurade kasa na wʼakoa retie.’” Enti, Samuel kɔdaa bio.
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.
Na Awurade ba bɛfrɛɛ bio sɛ, “Samuel! Samuel!” Na Samuel buaa sɛ, “Menie, Awurade kasa na wʼakoa retie.”
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.
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Samuel sɛ, “Merebɛyɛ akomatuo adeɛ bi wɔ Israel.
12 On the day that I will carry out against Eli all that I have spoken against house his beginning and ending.
Merebɛyɛ deɛ maka atia Eli ne nʼabusuafoɔ no nyinaa.
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.
Mabɔ no kɔkɔ mpɛn bebree sɛ, atemmuo reba ɔne nʼabusuafoɔ so, ɛfiri sɛ, ne mmammarima abɔ mmusuo atia Onyankopɔn, nanso wankasa ankyerɛ wɔn.
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.
Na maka ntam sɛ, Eli ne ne mmammarima bɔne no, sɛ wɔbɔ okum afɔdeɛ anaa aduane afɔdeɛ koraa a, wɔremfa nkyɛ wɔn da.”
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 daa hɔ ara kɔsii sɛ adeɛ kyeeɛ. Ɔbuebuee ntomadan hɔ mfɛnsere sɛdeɛ ɔtaa yɛ no. Na ɔsuro sɛ ɔbɛka asɛm a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no no akyerɛ Eli.
16 And he called Eli Samuel and he said O Samuel son my and he said here [am] I.
Nanso, Eli frɛɛ no sɛ, “Samuel, me ba.” Samuel buaa sɛ, “Menie!”
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 bisaa no sɛ, “Asɛm bɛn na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ wo? Ka biribiara kyerɛ me. Sɛ wode biribiara sie me a, Onyankopɔn ntwe wʼaso.”
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.
Enti, Samuel kaa biribiara kyerɛɛ Eli a wamfa hwee ansie no. Eli ka sɔɔ so sɛ, “Ɛyɛ Awurade pɛ. Ɔnyɛ deɛ ɔsusu sɛ ɛyɛ na ɛfata biara.”
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.
Awurade kaa Samuel ho wɔ ne nyiniiɛ mu, na biribiara a Samuel kaeɛ no, na ɛyɛ nyansasɛm a ɛboa.
20 And it knew all Israel from Dan and to Beer Sheba that [was being] established Samuel to a prophet of Yahweh.
Nnipa a wɔwɔ Israelman mu nyinaa, ɛfiri asase no ti kɔsi nʼanafoɔ, na wɔnim sɛ wɔahyɛ Samuel Awurade odiyifoɔ.
21 And he repeated Yahweh to appear at Shiloh for he revealed himself Yahweh to Samuel at Shiloh by [the] word of Yahweh.
Awurade kɔɔ so daa ne ho adi wɔ Silo, na ɔde nsɛm maa Samuel wɔ ntomadan mu hɔ.
