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.

Ary Samoela zaza nanao fanompoam-pivavahana tamin’ i Jehovah teo anatrehan’ i Ely. Ary tamin’ izany andro izany efa nahàlana ny tenin’ i Jehovah: tsy nisy fahitana niseho loatra.

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;

Ary tamin’ izany andro izany, raha nandry tao amin’ ny fandriany Ely (efa pahina ny masony, ka tsy nahita izy),

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;

sady tsy mbola maty ny jiron’ Andriamanitra, ary Samoela efa nandry tao amin’ ny tempolin’ i Jehovah, izay nisy ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra,

4 That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.

dia niantso an’ i Samoela Jehovah, ary izy namaly hoe: Inty aho.

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.

Dia nihazakazaka nankeo amin’ i Ely izy ka nanao hoe: Inty aho, fa niantso ahy ianao. Fa hoy Ely: Tsy niantso aho, andeha mandry ihany. Dia lasa nandry izy.

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.

Ary Jehovah niantso azy indray hoe: Ry Samoela! Dia nifoha Samoela ka nankao amin’ i Ely ary nanao hoe: Inty aho, fa niantso ahy ianao. Fa hoy izy: Tsy niantso aho, anaka; andeha mandry ihany.

7 Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed to him.

Ary Samoela tsy mbola nahalala an’ i Jehovah, sady tsy mbola nanehoana ny tenin’ i Jehovah izy.

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.

Ary Jehovah niantso an’ i Samoela indray fanintelony. Dia nifoha izy ka nankao amin’ i Ely ary nanao hoe: Inty aho, fa niantso ahy ianao. Dia fantatr’ i Ely fa Jehovah no niantso ny zaza.

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.

Ary hoy Ely tamin’ i Samoela: Andeha mandry ihany; ary raha tàhiny miantso anao Izy, dia valio hoe: Mitenena, Jehovah ô; fa mihaino ny mpanomponao. Dia lasa Samoela nandry tao amin’ ny fandriany.

10 And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.

Ary avy Jehovah, dia nitsangana ka niantso toy ny teo ihany hoe: Ry Samoela, ry Samoela ô! Dia namaly Samoela hoe: Mitenena, fa mihaino ny mpanomponao.

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.

Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Samoela: Indro, Izaho hanao zavatra eo amin’ ny Isiraely, ka izay rehetra mandre izany, dia hangintsingintsina ny sofiny roa.

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.

Amin’ izany andro izany dia hotanterahiko amin’ i Ely izay zavatra rehetra voalazako ny amin’ ny taranany: hatomboko izany, ka dia hotanterahiko.

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.

Fa efa nambarako taminy fa hotsaraiko mandrakizay ny taranany noho ny heloka izay fantany, satria ny zanany nahatonga ozona ho an’ ny tenany, nefa tsy nosakanany.

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.

Koa izany no nianianako ny amin’ ny taranak’ i Ely fa tsy hisy fanatitra hahafaka ny helony mandrakizay.

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.

Ary nandry Samoela mandra-pahamarain’ ny andro, dia namoha ny varavaran’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah izy. Ary Samoela natahotra hilaza ny fahitana tamin’ i Ely.

16 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I.

Fa Ely niantso an’ i Samoela ka nanao hoe: Ry Samoela, zanako! Dia hoy izy: Inty aho.

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.

Ary hoy izy: Inona no zavatra nolazain’ i Jehovah taminao? masìna ianao, aza afeninao ahy; hataon’ Andriamanitra aminao anie izany, eny, mihoatra noho izany aza, raha nisy afeninao ahy ny zavatra rehetra nolazainy taminao.

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.

Dia nambaran’ i Samoela azy avokoa ny zavatra rehetra, ka tsy nisy nafeniny azy. Dia hoy Ely: Izy no Jehovah, aoka Izy hanao izay sitraky ny fony.

19 And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground.

Ary nitombo Samoela, sady nomba azy Jehovah, ka tsy nisy navelany ho raraka an-tany ny teniny.

20 And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.

Ary ny Isiraely rehetra hatrany Dana ka hatrany Beri-sheba nahalala fa efa mpaminanin’ i Jehovah tokoa Samoela.

21 And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.

Dia niseho tao Silo indray Jehovah; fa niseho tamin’ i Samoela tao Silo Jehovah tamin’ ny teniny.
