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.
Yaron nan Sama’ila ya yi hidima a gaban Ubangiji a ƙarƙashin Eli. A waɗannan kwanaki kuwa jin magana daga wurin Ubangiji ba safai ba, babu kuma wahayi da yawa.
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.
Wata rana da dare Eli da idanunsa sun kusa makancewa har ba ya iya gani sosai yana kwance a inda ya saba.
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.
Fitilar Allah kuwa tana ci, ba tă mutu ba tukuna, Sama’ila kuma na kwance a haikali na Ubangiji inda akwai akwatin Allah.
4 Yahweh called to Samuel, who said, “Here I am.”
Sai Ubangiji ya kira Sama’ila. Sama’ila ya amsa ya ce, “Ga ni.”
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.
Sai ya ruga wajen Eli ya ce, “Ga ni, gama ka kira ni.” Eli ya ce, “Ɗana ban kira ba, je ka kwanta”. Saboda haka ya tafi ya kwanta.
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.”
Ubangiji ya sāke kiransa ya ce, “Sama’ila!” Sama’ila ya tashi kuma ya je wurin Eli ya ce, “Ga ni, gama ka kira ni.” Amma Eli ya ce, “Ban kira ka ba, ɗana koma ka kwanta.”
7 Now Samuel did not yet have any experience of Yahweh, nor had any message from Yahweh ever been revealed to him.
Sama’ila dai bai riga ya san Ubangiji ba tukuna. Ba a kuma taɓa bayyana maganar Ubangiji a gare shi ba tukuna ba.
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.
Ubangiji ya kira Sama’ila sau na uku, Sama’ila kuma ya tashi ya tafi wurin Eli, “Ga ni, gama ka kira ni.” Sai Eli ya gane cewa Ubangiji ne ke kira yaron.
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.
Saboda haka, Eli ya gaya wa Sama’ila cewa, “Je ka kwanta, in kuma ya kira ka, ka ce masa, ‘Ya Ubangiji ka yi magana gama bawanka yana saurara.’” Sama’ila ya koma ya kwanta a wurin kwanciyarsa.
10 Yahweh came and stood; he called as at the other times, “Samuel, Samuel.” Then Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”
Ubangiji kuma ya zo ya tsaya a wurin, yana kira ya ce, “Sama’ila, Sama’ila!” Kamar yadda ya kira a lokutan baya. Sai Sama’ila ya ce, “Yi magana gama bawanka yana saurara.”
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.
Ubangiji ya ce wa Sama’ila, “Duba ina dab da yin wani abu a Isra’ila da zai sa kunne kowa da yake ji, yă ji tsoro.
12 On that day I will carry out against Eli everything I have said about his house, from beginning to end.
A ranar zan cika dukan maganar da na yi game da Eli da iyalinsa, daga farko har ƙarshe.
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.
Gama na gaya masa zan hukunta gidansa har abada saboda zunubin da yake sane da shi;’ya’yansa sun wulaƙantar da kansu, shi kuma bai tsawata musu ba.
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.”
Saboda haka na rantse a kan gidan Eli, ‘Ba za a taɓa shafe laifin gidan Eli da hadaya ko baiko ba.’”
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.
Sama’ila kuwa ya kwanta har safe, sa’an nan ya buɗe ƙofofin gidan Ubangiji. Ya ji tsoro yă gaya wa Eli wahayin,
16 Then Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son.” Samuel said, “Here I am.”
amma Eli ya kira shi ya ce, “Sama’ila, ɗana.” Sama’ila ya ce, “Ga ni.”
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.”
Eli ya ce, mene ne ya ce maka? Kada ka ɓoye mini. Allah ya yi da kai har ma fiye in ka ɓoye mini kome da ya ce maka.
18 Samuel told him everything; he hid nothing from him. Eli said, “It is Yahweh. Let him do what seems good to him.”
Don haka sai Sama’ila ya gaya masa kome bai ɓoye masa kome ba. Sa’an nan Eli ya ce, “Shi ne Ubangiji bari yă yi abin da ya yi kyau a gare shi.”
19 Samuel grew up, and Yahweh was with him, and he let none of his prophetic words fall to the ground.
Ubangiji kuwa yana tare da Sama’ila har girmansa bai kuma bar ko ɗaya daga maganarsa ta kāsa cika ba.
20 All Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel was appointed to be a prophet of Yahweh.
Dukan Isra’ila daga Dan har Beyersheba suka shaida amincin Sama’ila annabi ne na Ubangiji.
21 Yahweh appeared again in Shiloh, for he revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by his word.
Ubangiji kuwa ya dinga bayyana a Shilo, a nan ya bayyana kansa ga Sama’ila ta wurin maganarsa.
