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 lad Samuel was ministering unto the Lord before 'Eli. And the word of the Lord was scarce in those days: prophecy was not extended.
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 'Eli was lying down in his place, and his eyes had begun 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, while Samuel was lying down in [the hall of] 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.
That the Lord called 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 unto 'Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call 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 the Lord continued to call again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to 'Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, 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.
And Samuel knew not yet the Lord, nor had the word of the Lord been as yet revealed unto 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 continued to call, Samuel, the third time; and he arose and went to 'Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And 'Eli then perceived that the Lord was calling the lad.
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 unto Samuel, Go, lie down; and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, Lord; for thy servant heareth. And 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 the Lord came, and placed himself, and called as at previous 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 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.
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.
On that day will I fulfill on 'Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house: I will begin and finish.
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.
And I tell him that I will judge his house for ever; for the iniquity that he knew that his sons were drawing a curse on themselves, 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 have I sworn unto the house of 'Eli, that the iniquity of 'Eli's house shall not be atoned for with sacrifice or meat-offering 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, when he opened the doors of the house of the Lord; and Samuel feared to tell the vision unto 'Eli.
16 Kahea aku la o Eli ia Samuela, i aku la, E Samuela, e kuu keiki. I mai la ia, Eia no wau.
But '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 which he hath spoken unto thee? do not, I pray thee, conceal it from me: may God do to thee thus, and continue to do so, if thou conceal any thing from me of all the word that he hath spoken unto 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 concealed nothing from him. And he said, He is the Lord: let him do what seemeth good in his eyes.
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 up, and the Lord was with him, and he did not let fall any one of all his words 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 thus knew all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba' that Samuel was accredited as a 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 continued to appear in Shiloh; for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the Lord.
