I Samuela 3
1 O SAMUELA, ke keiki, lawelawe aku la ia na Iehova imua o Eli. Kakaikahi ka olelo a Iehova ia manawa: aole he hoikeia'na i laha.
And the boy Samuel ministered to Jehovah before Eli. And the word of Jehovah was rare in those days; a vision was not frequent.
2 A ia mau la, ia Eli i moe ilalo ma kona wahi, ua powehiwehi kona maka, aole ia i ike;
And it came to pass at that time, when Eli lay in his place (now his eyes began to grow dim, he could not see),
3 Mamua o ke pio ana o ke kukui o ke Akua ma ka halelewa o Iehova, kahi i waiho ai ka pahu o ke Akua, a ua moe iho o Samuela;
and the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel lay in the temple of Jehovah, where the ark of God was,
4 Hea mai la o Iehova ia Samuela, i aku la ia, Eia no wau.
that Jehovah called to Samuel. And he said, Here am I.
5 A holo aku la ia io Eli la, i aku la, Eia no wau, no ka mea, ua kahea mai oe ia'u. I mai la ia, Aole au i kahea aku; e moe hou oe. A hele aku la ia, a moe iho la.
And he ran to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I did not call: lie down again. And he went and lay down.
6 Kahea hou mai la o Iehova, E Samuela. A ala mai o Samuela, a hele io Eli la, i aku la, Eia no wau; no ka mea, ua kahea mai oe ia'u. I mai la ia, Aole au i kahea aku, e kuu keiki; e moe hou oe.
And Jehovah called again, Samuel! And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I did not call, my son: lie down again.
7 A o Samuela, aole ia i ike ia Iehova ia wa, aole hoi i hoikeia ka olelo a Iehova ia ia.
Now Samuel did not yet know Jehovah, neither had the word of Jehovah yet been revealed to him.
8 Kahea hou mai la o Iehova ia Samuela, o ke kolu keia. Ala mai la ia, a hele aku la io Eli la, i aku la; Eia no wau; no ka mea, ua kahea mai oe ia'u. A ike iho la o Eli, ua kahea mai o Iehova i ke keiki.
And Jehovah called again the third time, Samuel! And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And Eli perceived that Jehovah was calling the boy.
9 No ia mea, olelo aku la o Eli ia Samuela, O hoi oe e moe; a i kahea hou mai oia ia oe, e i aku oe, E Iehova, e olelo mai, no ka mea, ua lohe kau kauwa. A hoi aku la o Samuela, a moe iho la ma kona wahi.
And Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie down; and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, Jehovah, for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
10 Hele mai la o Iehova, a hoike ia ia iho, a kahea mai la e like me na manawa mamua, E Samuela, e Samuela. I aku la o Samuela, E olelo mai, no ka mea, ua lohe kau kauwa.
And Jehovah came, and stood, and called as at the other times, Samuel, Samuel! And Samuel said, Speak, for thy servant heareth.
11 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Samuela, Aia hoi, e hana auanei au i kekahi mea iloko o ka Iseraela, i mea e kani ai na pepeiao elua o na mea a pau i lohe.
And Jehovah said to Samuel, Behold, I do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
12 Ia la no hooko aku au maluna o Eli i na mea a pau a'u i olelo ai no kona hale, o ka hoomaka ana, a me ka hoopau ana.
In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house; I will begin and make an end.
13 Ua hai aku au ia ia, e hoohewa mau loa ana au i kona hale, no ka hewa ana i ike ai: no ka mea, na kana mau keiki i lawe mai ai ka hewa maluna o laua iho, aole ia i kaohi aku ia laua.
For I have declared to him that I will judge his house for ever, for the iniquity which he hath known: because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.
14 No ia mea, ua hoohiki aku au no ko ka hale o Eli, aole e kalaia ka hewa o ko ka hale o Eli i ka mohai a i ka alana i ka manawa a pau.
And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be expiated with sacrifice or oblation for ever.
15 Moe iho la o Samuela a kakahiaka, a wehe ae la ia i na puka o ka hale o Iehova; a makau ino la o Samuela e hai aku ia Eli i ka mea i ikeia.
And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Jehovah. And Samuel feared to declare the vision to Eli.
16 Kahea aku la o Eli ia Samuela, i aku la, E Samuela, e kuu keiki. I mai la ia, Eia no wau.
And Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he said, Here am I.
17 Ninau aku la ia, Heaha ka mea a Iehova i olelo mai ai ia oe? Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, mai huna ia'u; pela ke Akua e hana mai ai ia oe, a e haawi hou mai hoi, ke huna oe ia'u i kekahi o ka olelo a pau ana i olelo mai ai ia oe.
And he said, What is the word that he has spoken to thee? I pray thee, keep it not back from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou keep back anything from me of all the word that he spoke to thee.
18 Hai aku la o Samuela ia ia i na olelo a pau, aole i huna ia ia. I mai la ia, Oia no o Iehova; e hana mai ia i kana mea i makemake ai.
And Samuel told him all the words, and kept nothing back from him. And he said, It is Jehovah: let him do what is good in his sight.
19 A nui ae la o Samuela, a me ia pu no o Iehova, aole loa ana olelo i hooko ole ia mai e ia.
And Samuel grew, and Jehovah was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground.
20 A ike ka Iseraela a pau, mai Dana a hiki i Beereseba, ua hookupaaia o Samuela i kaula no Iehova.
And all Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, knew that Samuel was established a prophet of Jehovah.
21 A hoike hou ia mai la o Iehova ma Silo: no ka mea, hoike mai la o Iehova ia ia iho ia Samuela ma Silo ma ka olelo a Iehova.
And Jehovah appeared again at Shiloh; for Jehovah revealed himself to Samuel at Shiloh by the word of Jehovah.
