1 Samuel 3
1 And the youth Samuel is serving Jehovah before Eli, and the word of Jehovah hath been precious in those days — there is no vision broken forth.
Elenge mobali Samuele azalaki kosalela Yawe na bokambami ya Eli. Na mikolo wana, Yawe azalaki koloba mingi te epai ya bato, mpe bimoniseli ezalaki mingi te.
2 And it cometh to pass, at that time, that Eli is lying down in his place, and his eyes have begun to be dim — he is not able to see.
Mokolo moko na butu, Nganga-Nzambe Eli azalaki ya kolala na esika na ye; miso na ye elembaki mpe akokaki lisusu komona te.
3 And the lamp of God is not yet extinguished, and Samuel is lying down in the temple of Jehovah, where the ark of God [is],
Mwinda ya Esika ya bule ezalaki kopela, wana Samuele azalaki ya kolala kati na Tempelo ya Yawe, epai wapi Sanduku ya Nzambe ezalaki.
4 and Jehovah calleth unto Samuel, and he saith, 'Here [am] I.'
Yawe abengaki Samuele, mpe ye azongisaki: — Ngai oyo!
5 And he runneth unto Eli, and saith, 'Here [am] I, for thou hast called for me;' and he saith, 'I called not; turn back, lie down;' and he goeth and lieth down.
Akendeki mbangu epai ya Eli mpe alobaki: — Ngai oyo, obengi ngai! Kasi Eli alobaki na ye: — Nabengi yo te! Zonga mpe lala. Samuele akendeki mpe alalaki.
6 And Jehovah addeth to call again Samuel, and Samuel riseth and goeth unto Eli, and saith, 'Here [am] I, for thou hast called for me;' and he saith, 'I have not called, my son, turn back, lie down.'
Yawe abengaki lisusu: — Samuele! Samuele alamukaki, azongaki epai ya Eli mpe alobaki: — Ngai oyo, obengi ngai! Eli alobaki na ye: — Mwana na ngai, nabengi yo te. Zonga, kende kolala.
7 And Samuel hath not yet known Jehovah, and the word of Jehovah is not yet revealed unto him.
Nzokande, Samuele ayebaki nanu Yawe te mpe atikalaki nanu te koyoka Yawe koloba na ye ata mbala moko.
8 And Jehovah addeth to call Samuel the third time, and he riseth and goeth unto Eli, and saith, 'Here [am] I, for thou hast called for me;' and Eli understandeth that Jehovah is calling to the youth.
Yawe abengaki Samuele na mbala ya misato; mpe Samuele atelemaki, akendeki epai ya Eli mpe alobaki: — Ngai oyo, obengi ngai! Bongo Eli asosolaki ete ezalaki Yawe nde azalaki kobenga elenge mobali.
9 And Eli saith to Samuel, 'Go, lie down, and it hath been, if He doth call unto thee, that thou hast said, Speak, Jehovah, for Thy servant is hearing;' and Samuel goeth and lieth down in his place.
Boye Eli alobaki na Samuele: — Kende na yo kolala; mpe soki abengi yo, okoloba: « Yawe loba, pamba te mosali na Yo azali koyoka! » Samuele akendeki mpe alalaki na esika na ye.
10 And Jehovah cometh, and stationeth Himself, and calleth as time by time, 'Samuel, Samuel;' and Samuel saith, 'Speak, for Thy servant is hearing.'
Yawe ayaki mpe atelemaki wana; abengaki lokola na mbala mosusu: — Samuele! Samuele! Samuele azongisaki: — Nkolo, loba, pamba te mosali na Yo azali koyoka.
11 And Jehovah saith unto Samuel, 'Lo, I am doing a thing in Israel, at which the two ears of every one hearing it do tingle.
Yawe alobaki na Samuele: — Tala, nalingi kosala likambo moko oyo, kati na Isalaele, ekosala pasi na matoyi ya moto nyonso oyo akoyoka yango.
12 In that day I establish unto Eli all that I have spoken unto his house, beginning and completing;
Na tango wana, nakokokisa makambo nyonso oyo nayebisaki Eli mpo na kotelemela libota na ye, wuta na ebandeli kino na suka.
13 and I have declared to him that I am judging his house — to the age, for the iniquity which he hath known, for his sons are making themselves vile, and he hath not restrained them,
Pamba te nayebisaki ye ete nakosambisa libota na ye mpo na libela, mpo na masumu oyo ye ayebi, masumu oyo na nzela na yango bana na ye ya mibali bamikomisaki mbindo, kasi ye apamelaki bango te.
14 and therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli: the iniquity of the house of Eli is not atoned for, by sacrifice, and by offering — unto the age.'
Yango wana, nalapi ndayi mpo na ndako ya Eli ete mbeba ya libota na ye ekotikala kolimbisama te, ezala na nzela ya bambeka to ya makabo.
15 And Samuel lieth till the morning, and openeth the doors of the house of Jehovah, and Samuel is afraid of declaring the vision unto Eli.
Samuele alalaki kino na tongo. Bongo sima na ye kolamuka, afungolaki bikuke ya Tempelo ya Yawe. Azalaki kobanga koyebisa Eli emoniseli oyo azwaki.
16 And Eli calleth Samuel, and saith, 'Samuel, my son;' and he saith, 'Here [am] I.'
Kasi Eli abengaki Samuele mpe alobaki: — Samuele, mwana na ngai! Samuele azongisaki: — Ngai oyo!
17 And he saith, 'What [is] the word which He hath spoken unto thee? I pray thee, hide it not from me; so doth God do to thee, and so doth He add, if thou hidest from me a word of all the words that He hath spoken unto thee.'
Eli atunaki ye: — Makambo nini Yawe ayebisaki yo? Kobombela ngai te. Tika ete Nzambe apesa yo etumbu ya makasi soki obombeli ngai ata likambo moko kati na nyonso oyo alobaki na yo.
18 And Samuel declareth to him the whole of the words, and hath not hid from him; and he saith, 'It [is] Jehovah; that which is good in His eyes He doth.'
Boye Samuele ayebisaki ye makambo nyonso, abombelaki ye ata likambo moko te. Mpe Eli alobaki: — Azali Yawe. Tika ete asala makambo oyo ezali malamu na miso na Ye.
19 And Samuel groweth up, and Jehovah hath been with him, and hath not let fall any of his words to the earth;
Wana Samuele azalaki kokola, Yawe azalaki elongo na ye mpe azalaki kokokisa maloba na Ye nyonso.
20 and all Israel know, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba, that Samuel is established for a prophet to Jehovah.
Bato nyonso ya Isalaele, longwa na Dani kino na Beri-Sheba, bandimaki ete Samuele azali penza mosakoli ya Yawe.
21 And Jehovah addeth to appear in Shiloh, for Jehovah hath been revealed unto Samuel, in Shiloh, by the word of Jehovah.
Yawe akobaki komilakisa na Silo, pamba te azalaki komimonisa kuna epai ya Samuele na nzela ya Liloba na Ye.
