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.

Now, the boy Samuel, was ministering unto Yahweh, before Eli, —and, the word of Yahweh, had become rare in those days, there was no well-known 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,

But it came to pass, at that time, when Eli was lying down in his place, his eyes, having begun to be dim, 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.

though, the lamp of God, was not yet to be put out, and, Samuel, was lying down in the temple of Yahweh, where was the ark of God,

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

that Yahweh called unto Samuel, and he said—Behold me!

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.

So he ran unto Eli and said—Behold me! for thou calledst me. And he said—I called not, return—Its down. So he went, and lie 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.”

And again Yahweh called once there—Samuel! Then rose Samuel, and went unto Eli, and said—Behold me! for thou calledst me. And he said—I called not, my son, return—lie down.

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, as yet knew not Yahweh, —nor, as yet, had been revealed unto him, the word of Yahweh.

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.

And again Yahweh called—Samuel! a third time. Then he arose, and went unto Eli, and said—Behold me! for thou calledst me. Then did Eli perceive, that, Yahweh, was calling the boy.

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 Eli said to Samuel—Go, lie down, and it shall be, if he call unto thee, that thou shalt say—Speak, Yahweh, for thy servant is listening. And 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.”

Then came Yahweh, and stood, and called as time after time—Samuel! Samuel! And Samuel said, Speak, for thy 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.

And Yahweh said unto Samuel, Lo! I am doing a thing, in Israel, —at which both ears of everyone that heareth 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, will I confirm against Eli, all that I have spoken against his house, —beginning and finishing.

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.

Therefore do I tell him, that I am about to judge his house unto times age-abiding, for the iniquity which he knoweth, in that his sons are cursing God, and he hath not rebuked them.

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

And therefore have I sworn, respecting the house of Eli, —that the iniquity of the house of Eli shall receive no propitiatory-covering, by sacrifice or by present, unto times age-abiding.

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 until the morning, and rose early in the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Yahweh, —but, Samuel, feared to tell the appearing, unto Eli.

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

So Eli called Samuel, and said—Samuel! my son. And he said—Behold me!

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.”

And he said—What is the word, which he spake unto thee? I pray thee, do not hide it from me. So, let God do to thee, and, so, let him add, if thou hide from me a word, out of anything which he hath spoken unto thee.

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

So Samuel told him all the words, and hid nothing from him. And he said, Yahweh, he is; what is good in his own eyes, let him do.

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

And Samuel grew, —and, Yahweh, proved to he with him, and let none of all his words fall to the ground.

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

So all Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, came to know, —that Samuel had become confirmed as a prophet unto Yahweh.

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

Thus did Yahweh again appear in Shiloh, —for Yahweh had revealed himself unto Samuel in Shiloh, in the word of Yahweh.
