1 Samuel 3
1 And the child Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was rare in those days; there was no frequent vision.
Alò, Samuel te sèvi SENYÈ a devan Éli. Yon pawòl soti nan SENYÈ a te ra nan jou sa yo, e vizyon yo pa t fèt souvan.
2 And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was lying down in his place, and his eyes began to grow dim, that he could not see;
Li te rive nan lè sa a ke pandan Éli te kouche nan plas li, (alò, vizyon li te kòmanse febli; li pa t kab wè byen),
3 And before the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was lying down to sleep;
epi lanp Bondye a potko etenn e Samuel te kouche nan tanp SENYÈ a kote lach Bondye a te ye a,
4 That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.
ke SENYÈ a te rele Samuel. Li te reponn: “Men mwen isit la!”
5 And he ran to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down.
Alò, li te kouri vè Éli e te di: “Men mwen, paske ou te rele m.” Men Éli te di: “Mwen pa t rele ou. Ale kouche ankò.” Konsa, li te retounen kouche.
6 And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again.
Senyè a te rele ankò: “Samuel!” Konsa, Samuel te leve, li te ale vè Éli. Li te di: “Men mwen, paske ou te rele m.” Men li te reponn: “Mwen pa t rele ou, fis mwen, ale kouche ankò.”
7 Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed to him.
Alò, Samuel potko konnen SENYÈ a, ni pawòl SENYÈ a potko revele a li.
8 And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.
Alò, SENYÈ a te rele Samuel ankò pou yon twazyèm fwa. Epi li te leve ale vè Éli. Li te di: “Men mwen, paske ou te rele mwen.” Konsa, Éli te vin apèsi ke SENYÈ a t ap rele gason an.
9 Therefore Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he should call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
Epi Éli te di a Samuel: “Ale kouche e li va fèt ke si Li rele ou, ke ou va di: ‘Pale, SENYÈ a, paske sèvitè ou ap koute ou.’” Konsa, Samuel te ale kouche nan plas li.
10 And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.
Alò SENYÈ a te vin kanpe e Li te rele tankou lòt fwa yo: “Samuel! Samuel!” Epi Samuel te di: “Pale, paske sèvitè ou ap koute ou.”
11 And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
SENYÈ a te di a Samuel: “Veye byen, Mwen prèt pou fè yon bagay an Israël k ap fè zòrèy tout moun an Israël vin toudi.
12 In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end.
Nan jou sa a, Mwen va pote kont Éli tout sa ke M te pale selon lakay li, soti nan kòmansman, jiska lafen.
13 For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.
Paske Mwen te di li ke Mwen prèt pou jije lakay li pou tout tan pou inikite ke li te konnen yo. Akoz fis li yo te mennen yon madichon sou pwòp tèt yo, e li pa t repwoche yo.
14 And therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever.
Pou sa, mwen te fè temwen anvè lakay Éli ke inikite lakay Éli p ap padone, ni avèk ofrann, ni avèk sakrifis.”
15 And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to tell Eli the vision.
Konsa, Samuel te kouche jis rive nan maten. Li te ouvri pòt lakay SENYÈ a. Men li te krent pou pale Éli vizyon an.
16 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I.
Alò, Éli te rele Samuel e te di: “Samuel, fis mwen.” Epi li te di: “Men mwen.”
17 And he said, What is the thing that the LORD hath said to thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou shalt hide any thing from me of all the things that he said to thee.
Li te di: “Ki pawòl ke Li te pale ou a? Souple, pa kache l pou mwen. Ke Bondye fè l konsa a ou menm, e menm plis osi, si ou kache yon bagay a mwen nan tout pawòl ke li te pale ou yo.”
18 And Samuel told him every thing, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is the LORD: let him do what seemeth him good.
Konsa, Samuel te di li tout bagay. Li pa t kache anyen a li menm. Epi li te di: “Li se SENYÈ a; kite Li fè sa ki sanble bon pou Li menm.”
19 And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground.
Konsa, Samuel te grandi, SENYÈ a te avèk li e Li pa t kite okenn nan pawòl li yo manke reyisi.
20 And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.
Tout Israël soti nan Dan jis rive menm Beer-Schéba te konnen ke Samuel te konfime kòm yon pwofèt a SENYÈ a.
21 And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.
Epi SENYÈ a te vin parèt ankò nan Silo, paske SENYÈ a te revele Li menm a Samuel nan Silo selon pawòl Bondye a.
