1 Samuel 3
1 The child Samuel served Yahweh under Eli. Yahweh's word was rare in those days; there was no frequent prophetic vision.
Ang bata nga si Samuel nag-alagad kang Yahweh ubos kang Eli. Panagsa lang ang mga pulong ni Yahweh niadtong panahona; dili usab kanunay makakita ug panan-awon ang mga propeta.
2 At that time, when Eli, whose eyesight had begun to grow dim so that he could not see well, was lying down in his own bed.
Nianang panahona, sa dihang si Eli, nagsugod na ug dulom ang iyang panan-aw maong dili na kaayo siya makakita, naghigda sa iyang kaugalingong higdaanan.
3 The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down to sleep in the temple of Yahweh, where the ark of God was.
Ang lampara sa Dios wala pa mapalong, samtang si Samuel naghigda na ug natulog didto sa templo ni Yahweh, kung asa nahimutang ang sudlanan sa kasabotan sa Dios.
4 Yahweh called to Samuel, who said, “Here I am.”
Gitawag ni Yahweh si Samuel, nga miingon, “Ania ako.”
5 Samuel ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” Eli said, “I did not call you; lie down again.” So Samuel went and lay down.
Midagan si Samuel kang Eli ug miigon, “Ania ako, kay gitawag mo man ako.” Miingon si Eli, “Wala ko ikaw gitawag; higda ug balik.” Busa milakaw si Samuel ug mihigda pagbalik.
6 Yahweh called again, “Samuel.” Again Samuel rose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” Eli answered, “I did not call you, my son; lie down again.”
Mitawag pag-usab si Yahweh, “Samuel.” Mibangon pagbalik si Samuel ug miadto kang Eli ug miingon, “Ania ako, kay gitawag mo man ako.” Mitubag si Eli, “Wala ko ikaw gitawag, akong anak; higda ug balik.”
7 Now Samuel did not yet have any experience of Yahweh, nor had any message from Yahweh ever been revealed to him.
Karon wala pay kasinatian si Samuel kang Yahweh, bisan paman ang mga mensahe nga gikan kang Yahweh wala pa mapadayag kaniya.
8 Yahweh called Samuel again the third time. Again Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” Then Eli realized that Yahweh had called the boy.
Gitawag pag-usab ni Yahweh si Samuel sa ikatulong higayon. Mibangon pag-usab si Samuel ug miadto kang Eli ug miingon, “Ania ako, kay gitawag mo man ako.” Ug namatikdan ni Eli nga gitawag ni Yahweh ang maong batang lalaki.
9 Then Eli said to Samuel, “Go and lie down again; if he calls you again, you must say, 'Speak, Yahweh, for your servant is listening.'” So Samuel went and lay down in his own place once more.
Misulti si Eli kang Samuel, “Lakaw ug balik paghigda; kung tawgon ka niya pag-usab, mao kini ang imong isulti, 'Sulti, Yahweh, kay maminaw ang imong alagad.” Busa mibalik pag-usab si Samuel paghigda sa iyang kaugalingong dapit.
10 Yahweh came and stood; he called as at the other times, “Samuel, Samuel.” Then Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”
Miabot si Yahweh ug nagtindog; mitawag siya sama sa niaging pagtawag, “Samuel, Samuel.” Mitubag si Samuel, “Sulti, kay maminaw ang imong alagad.”
11 Yahweh said to Samuel, “See, I am about to do something in Israel at which the ears of everyone who hears it will tingle.
Miingon si Yahweh kang Samuel, “Tan-awa, aduna akoy pagabuhaton sa Israel nga diin ang mga dalunggan nga makadungog niini motagning gayod.
12 On that day I will carry out against Eli everything I have said about his house, from beginning to end.
Nianang adlawa pagakuhaon ko ang tanan kong gisulti mahitungod sa panimalay ni Eli, gikan sa sinugdan hangtod sa kataposan.
13 I have told him that I am about to judge his house once for all for the sin that he knew about, because his sons brought a curse upon themselves and he did not stop them.
Giingnan ko na siya nga akong hukman ang iyang panimalay sa tanang sala nga iyang nahibaloan, tungod kay nagdala ug tunglo ang iyang mga anak nga lalaki sa ilang kaugalingon ug wala niya sila badlonga.
14 Because of this I have sworn to the house of Eli that the sins of his house will never be atoned for by sacrifice or offering.”
Tungod niini akong gipanaad sa panimalay ni Eli nga ang mga sala nga anaa sa iyang panimalay dili mapasaylo pinaagi sa bisan unsang sakripisyo o halad.”
15 Samuel lay down until morning; then he opened the doors of the house of Yahweh. But Samuel was afraid to tell Eli about the vision.
Mihigda si Samuel hangtod nga mibuntag; unya giablihan niya ang mga pultahan sa balay ni Yahweh. Apan nahadlok si Samuel nga isulti ang iyang panan-awon bahin kang Eli.
16 Then Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son.” Samuel said, “Here I am.”
Gitawag ni Eli si Samuel ug miingon, “Samuel, akong anak.” Miingon si Samuel, “Ania ako.”
17 He said, “What was the word he spoke to you? Please do not hide it from me. May God do so to you, and even more, if you hide anything from me of all the words that he spoke to you.”
Miingon siya, “Unsa man ang mga pulong nga iyang gisulti kanimo? Palihog ayaw kini ililong kanako. Hinaot buhaton usab kini sa Dios kanimo, ug labaw pa, kung imong ililong kanako ang tanang mga pulong nga iyang gisulti kanimo.”
18 Samuel told him everything; he hid nothing from him. Eli said, “It is Yahweh. Let him do what seems good to him.”
Busa gisulti ni Samuel ang tanan; ug wala siyay gililong gikan kaniya. Miingon si Eli, “Siya si Yahweh. Tugoti siya sa pagbuhat kung unsay maayo kaniya.”
19 Samuel grew up, and Yahweh was with him, and he let none of his prophetic words fall to the ground.
Midako na si Samuel, ug nag-uban kanunay si Yahweh kaniya ug walay bisan usa nga napakyas sa iyang gipangsulti nga mga pulong ug natuman kining tanan.
20 All Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel was appointed to be a prophet of Yahweh.
Ang tanang taga-Israel gikan sa Dan hangtod sa Beersheba nakabalo nga gipili si Samuel aron mahimong propeta ni Yahweh.
21 Yahweh appeared again in Shiloh, for he revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by his word.
Nagpakita pag-usab si Yahweh didto sa Silo, kay gibutyag niya ang iyang kaugalingon kang Samuel didto sa Silo pinaagi sa iyang mga pulong.
