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.
The child Samuel served Yahweh under Eli. Yahweh's word was rare in those days; there was no frequent prophetic vision.
2 A ia mau la, ia Eli i moe ilalo ma kona wahi, ua powehiwehi kona maka, aole ia i ike;
At that time, when Eli, whose eyesight had begun to grow dim so that he could not see well, was lying down in his own bed.
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;
The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down to sleep in the temple of Yahweh, where the ark of God was.
4 Hea mai la o Iehova ia Samuela, i aku la ia, Eia no wau.
Yahweh called to Samuel, who said, “Here I am.”
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.
Samuel ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” Eli said, “I did not call you; lie down again.” So Samuel 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.
Yahweh called again, “Samuel.” Again Samuel rose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” Eli answered, “I did not call you, 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 have any experience of Yahweh, nor had any message from Yahweh ever 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.
Yahweh called Samuel again the third time. Again Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” Then Eli realized that Yahweh had called 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.
Then Eli said to Samuel, “Go and lie down again; if he calls you again, you must say, 'Speak, Yahweh, for your servant is listening.'” So Samuel went and lay down in his own place once more.
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.
Yahweh came and stood; he called as at the other times, “Samuel, Samuel.” Then Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”
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.
Yahweh said to Samuel, “See, I am about to do something in Israel at which the ears of everyone who hears it will 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 I will carry out against Eli everything I have said about his house, from beginning to 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.
I have told him that I am about to judge his house once for all for the sin that he knew about, because his sons brought a curse upon themselves and he did not stop 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.
Because of this I have sworn to the house of Eli that the sins of his house will never be atoned for by sacrifice or offering.”
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.
Samuel lay down until morning; then he opened the doors of the house of Yahweh. But Samuel was afraid to tell Eli about the vision.
16 Kahea aku la o Eli ia Samuela, i aku la, E Samuela, e kuu keiki. I mai la ia, Eia no wau.
Then Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son.” Samuel said, “Here I am.”
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.
He said, “What was the word he spoke to you? Please do not hide it from me. May God do so to you, and even more, if you hide anything from me of all the words that he spoke to you.”
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.
Samuel told him everything; he hid nothing from him. Eli said, “It is Yahweh. Let him do what seems good to him.”
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.
Samuel grew up, and Yahweh was with him, and he let none of his prophetic 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.
All Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel was appointed to be a prophet of Yahweh.
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.
Yahweh appeared again in Shiloh, for he revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by his word.
