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.
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 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.
Ary tamin’ izany andro izany, raha nandry tao amin’ ny fandriany Ely (efa pahina ny masony, ka tsy nahita izy),
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],
sady tsy mbola maty ny jiron’ Andriamanitra, ary Samoela efa nandry tao amin’ ny tempolin’ i Jehovah, izay nisy ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra,
4 and Jehovah calleth unto Samuel, and he saith, 'Here [am] I.'
dia niantso an’ i Samoela Jehovah, ary izy namaly hoe: Inty aho.
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.
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 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.'
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 And Samuel hath not yet known Jehovah, and the word of Jehovah is not yet revealed unto him.
Ary Samoela tsy mbola nahalala an’ i Jehovah, sady tsy mbola nanehoana ny tenin’ i Jehovah izy.
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.
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 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.
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 Jehovah cometh, and stationeth Himself, and calleth as time by time, 'Samuel, Samuel;' and Samuel saith, 'Speak, for Thy servant is hearing.'
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 Jehovah saith unto Samuel, 'Lo, I am doing a thing in Israel, at which the two ears of every one hearing it do 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 establish unto Eli all that I have spoken unto his house, beginning and completing;
Amin’ izany andro izany dia hotanterahiko amin’ i Ely izay zavatra rehetra voalazako ny amin’ ny taranany: hatomboko izany, ka dia hotanterahiko.
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,
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: the iniquity of the house of Eli is not atoned for, by sacrifice, and by offering — unto the age.'
Koa izany no nianianako ny amin’ ny taranak’ i Ely fa tsy hisy fanatitra hahafaka ny helony mandrakizay.
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.
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 And Eli calleth Samuel, and saith, 'Samuel, my son;' and he saith, 'Here [am] I.'
Fa Ely niantso an’ i Samoela ka nanao hoe: Ry Samoela, zanako! Dia hoy izy: Inty aho.
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.'
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 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.'
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 groweth up, and Jehovah hath been with him, and hath not let fall any of his words to the earth;
Ary nitombo Samoela, sady nomba azy Jehovah, ka tsy nisy navelany ho raraka an-tany ny teniny.
20 and all Israel know, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba, that Samuel is established for a prophet to Jehovah.
Ary ny Isiraely rehetra hatrany Dana ka hatrany Beri-sheba nahalala fa efa mpaminanin’ i Jehovah tokoa Samoela.
21 And Jehovah addeth to appear in Shiloh, for Jehovah hath been revealed unto Samuel, in Shiloh, by the word of Jehovah.
Dia niseho tao Silo indray Jehovah; fa niseho tamin’ i Samoela tao Silo Jehovah tamin’ ny teniny.
