I Samuel 3

1 Nagserbi ti ubing a ni Samuel kenni Yahweh babaen iti panangidalan ni Eli. Manmano ti sao ni Yahweh kadagidiay nga al-aldaw; awan unay ti sirmata maipanggep iti masakbayan.

The child Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli. The word of the LORD was rare in those days; there was no frequent vision.

2 Iti dayta a tiempo, idi ni Eli nga agkapsuten ti panagkitana a saan unayen a makakita, ket agid-idda iti bukodna a pagiddaan,

It happened at that time, when Eli was lying down in his place (now his eyes had begun to grow dim, so that he could not see),

3 Saan pay idi a naiddep ti pagsilawan ti Dios, ket ni Samuel, matmaturog iti balay ni Yahweh nga ayan ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios.

and the lamp of God hadn't yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the LORD's temple, where the ark of God was;

4 Inawagan ni Yahweh ni Samuel, a nagkuna, “Adtoyak.”

that the LORD called, "Samuel. Samuel." And he said, "Here I am."

5 Timmaray ni Samuel iti ayan ni Eli, ket kinunana, “Immayak ta inayabannak.” Kinuna ni Eli, “Saanka nga inayaban; agsublika iti pagiddaam.” Isu a napan nagidda ni Samuel.

He ran to Eli, and said, "Here I am; for you called me." He said, "I did not call; lie down again." He went and lay down.

6 Immawag manen ni Yahweh, “Samuel.” Bimmangon manen ni Samuel ket napan kenni Eli ket kinunana, “Inayabannak isu nga adtoyak.” Simmungbat ni Eli, “Saanka nga inayaban, anakko; inka pay agidda.”

The LORD called yet again, "Samuel. Samuel." And he got up and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am; for you called me." He answered, "I did not call, my son; lie down again."

7 Ita, awan pay ti kapadasan ni Samuel kenni Yahweh, wenno awan pay pulos ti aniaman a mensahe a naipakita kenkuana manipud kenni Yahweh.

Now Samuel did not yet know God, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed to him.

8 Inawagan manen ni Yahweh ni Samuel iti maikatlo a gundaway. Bimmangon manen ni Samuel ket napan kenni Eli ket kinunana, “Immayak ta inayabannak.” Ket naamiris ni Eli nga inawagan ni Yahweh ti ubing.

Then the LORD called Samuel again the third time, and he got up and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you called me." Then Eli realized that the LORD had called the child.

9 Ket kinuna ni Eli kenni Samuel, “Mapanka agidda manen; no awagannaka manen, nasken nga ibagam, 'Agsaoka, O Yahweh, ta dumdumngeg ti adipenmo.”' Isu a napan nagidda manen ni Samuel iti pagid-iddaanna.

So he said, "Go, lie down, and if he calls you, reply, 'Speak, for your servant is listening.'" Then Samuel went and lay down in his place.

10 Immay ni Yahweh ket nagtakder; immawag a kas iti immuna, “Samuel, Samuel.” Ket kinuna ni Samuel, “Agsaoka, ta dumdumngeg ti adipenmo.”

And the LORD came and stood, and called as at other times. Then Samuel said, "Speak, for your servant is listening."

11 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Samuel, “Dumngegka, umadanin nga aramidek iti Israel ti banag nga uray la agkintayeg dagiti lapayag ti amin a makangngeg iti daytoy.

The LORD said to Samuel, "Look, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of everyone who hears it shall tingle.

12 Iti dayta nga aldaw, ipatungpalkonto kenni Eli dagiti amin nga imbagak maipanggep iti balayna, manipud iti rugi agingga iti pagpatinggaan.

In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even to the end.

13 Imbagak kenkuana a dandanin nga ukomek a mammaminsan ti balayna gapu iti amin a basol nga ammona, gapu ta nangiyeg iti lunod dagiti annakna kadagiti bagbagida ket saanna ida nga inatipa.

For I have told him that I will judge his house forever, for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons were cursing God, and he did not restrain them.

14 Gapu iti daytoy, insapatak iti balay ni Eli a saanto pulos a mapakawan dagiti basol ti balayna babaen iti daton wenno sagut.”

Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be removed with sacrifice nor offering forever."

15 Nagidda ni Samuel agingga iti bigat; kalpasanna, linukatanna dagiti ruangan ti balay ni Yahweh. Ngem mabuteng ni Samuel a mangibaga kenni Eli iti maipanggep iti sirmata.

And Samuel lay there until the morning, and in the morning he got up and opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel was afraid to tell Eli the vision.

16 Ket inayaban ni Eli ni Samuel a kunana, “Samuel, anakko.” Kinuna ni Samuel, “Adtoyak.”

Then Eli said to Samuel, "Samuel, my son." And he replied, "Here I am."

17 Kinuna ni Eli, “Ania ti imbagana kenka? Saanmo koma nga ilimed kaniak. Dusaennaka ti Dios, ken ad-adda pay koma no ilimedmo kaniak ti aniaman nga imbagana kenka.”

He said, "What is the thing that he has spoken to you? Please do not hide it from me. May God do thus to you if you hide anything from me of all the words that he spoke to you in your ears."

18 Imbaga amin ni Samuel kenkuana; awan ti inlimedna kenkuana. Kinuna ni Eli, “Ni Yahweh daytoy. Aramidenna koma ti kasayaatan a maaramid.”

And Samuel told him everything, and did not hide anything from him. And he said, "It is the LORD. Let him do what seems good to him."

19 Dimmakkel ni Samuel, ket adda kenkuana ni Yahweh ket awan ti pimmalso kadagiti padtona.

So Samuel continued to grow, and the LORD was with him and let none of his words fail.

20 Ammo ti entero nga Israel manipud Dan agingga iti Beerseba a nadutokan ni Samuel nga agbalin a profeta ni Yahweh.

Thus all Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established as a prophet of the LORD.

21 Nagparang manen ni Yahweh idiay Silo, ta nagparang isuna a mismo kenni Samuel idiay Silo babaen iti saona.

And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh, for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel.
