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.

Now the child Samuel ministered to the Lord before Heli, and the word of the Lord was precious in those days, there was no manifest vision.

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 one day when Heli lay in his place, and his eyes were grown dim, that 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;

Before the lamp of God went out, Samuel slept in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was.

4 Hea mai la o Iehova ia Samuela, i aku la ia, Eia no wau.

And the Lord called Samuel. And he answered: 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 Heli and said: Here am I: for thou didst call me. He said: I did not call: go back and sleep. And he went and slept.

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 the Lord called Samuel again. And Samuel arose and went to Heli, and said: Here am I: for thou calledst me. He answered: I did not call thee, my son: return and sleep.

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 the Lord, neither had the word of the Lord 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 the Lord called Samuel again the third time. And he arose up and went to Heli.

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 said: Here am I: for thou didst call me. Then Heli understood that the Lord called the child, and he said to Samuel: Go, and sleep: and if he shall call thee any more, thou shalt say: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and slept 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 the Lord came and stood: and he called, as he had called the other times: Samuel, Samuel. And Samuel said: Speak, Lord, 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 the Lord said to Samuel: Behold I do a thing in Israel: and whosoever shall hear it, both his ears 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 raise up against Heli all the things I have spoken concerning his house: I will begin, and I will 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 foretold unto him, that I will judge his house for ever, for iniquity, because he knew that his sons did wickedly, and did not chastise them.

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.

Therefore have I sworn to the house of Heli, that the iniquity of his house shall not be expiated with victims nor offerings 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 slept till morning, and opened the doors of the house of the Lord. And Samuel feared to tell the vision to Heli.

16 Kahea aku la o Eli ia Samuela, i aku la, E Samuela, e kuu keiki. I mai la ia, Eia no wau.

Then Heli called Samuel, and said: Samuel, my son. And he answered: 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 asked him: What is the word that the Lord hath spoken to thee? I beseech thee hide it not from me. May God do so and so to thee, and add so and so, if thou hide from me one word of all that were said 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.

So Samuel told him all the words, and did not hide them from him. And he answered: It is the Lord: 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 the Lord was with him, and not one of his words fell 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 to Bersabee, knew that Samuel was a faithful prophet of the Lord.

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 the Lord again appeared in Silo, for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Silo, according to the word of the Lord. And the word of Samuel came to pass to all Israel.
