1 Samue 3

1 Hagi Samueli'a mofavre mani'neno Elina aza huno Ra Anumzamofo avuga pristi eri'zana eri'ne. Hagi ana knafina rama'a kafufi Ra Anumzamo'a Israeli vahera keaga huozami'ne. Hagi magoke magoke knazupa, ava'nagna zana zamaveri hutere hu'ne.

And the boy Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli. Now in those days the word of the LORD was rare and visions were scarce.

2 Hagi Elina avumo'a agafa huno asu higeno keso'e osuno, mago kinaga Ra Anumzamofo nompi tafe'are mase'ne.

And at that time Eli, whose eyesight had grown so dim that he could not see, was lying in his room.

3 Hagi Ra Anumzamofo nompima lamu tavi'ma rekruma hunte'naza tavi'mo'a asura osu'negeno, Samueli'a Hanavenentake Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage ante vogisima me'nea seli mono nompi mase'ne.

Before the lamp of God had gone out, Samuel was lying down in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was located.

4 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a Samuelina agihegeno, Samuelia kenona huno, Ama mani'noe.

Then the LORD called to Samuel, and he answered, “Here I am.”

5 Nehuno anampinti Samueli'a otino Elinte vuno, na'anku hanke'na oe, higeno Eli'a huno, Kagrira kea osu'noanki ete vunka umaso.

He ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you have called me.” “I did not call,” Eli replied. “Go back and lie down.” So he went and lay down.

6 Hagi ete mago'ane Ra Anumzamo'a Samuelina agi higeno, Samueli'a otino Elinte vuno, Ama mani'noanki na'anku hankena oe, higeno Eli'a huno, Nagra kea osu'noanki mofavrenimoka vunka umaso.

Once again the LORD called, “Samuel!” So Samuel got up, went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you have called me.” “My son, I did not call,” Eli replied. “Go back and lie down.”

7 Hagi Samueli'a Ra Anumzamofona keno antahinora osu'ne. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a kora agritera eama huno keaga higeno keno antahino osu'negu, anara hu'ne.

Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, because the word of the LORD had not yet been revealed to him.

8 Hagi nampa 3 zupama Ra Anumzamo'a kema higeno'a, Samueli'a otino Elinte vuno, Kagrama kema hanana ama mani'noe huno ome asami'geno anante Eli'a antahi ama nehuno, Ra Anumzamo ama ana risera kea hunemie huno antahi'ne.

Once again, for the third time, the LORD called to Samuel. He got up, went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you have called me.” Then Eli realized that it was the LORD who was calling the boy.

9 Hagi Eli'a anage huno Samuelina asami'ne, Ete vunka umasenegeno mago'enema kagima hanigenka, kenona huntenka Ra Anumzamoka eri'za vahekamo'na nentahuanki nasamio hunka huo, huno nesamino ete huntegeno Samueli'a vuno tafe'are umase'ne.

“Go and lie down,” he said to Samuel, “and if He calls you, say, ‘Speak, LORD, for Your servant is listening.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

10 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a tavaonte eme otino ko'ma hu'neaza huno, Samueliwe, Samueliwe higeno Samueli'a huno, Ra Anumzamoka eri'za vahekamo'na nentahuanki nasamio.

Then the LORD came and stood there, calling as before, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel answered, “Speak, for Your servant is listening.”

11 Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a Samuelina asamino, Antahio Nagra menina Israeli vahepina, antari hanazaza eri fore hugahuankino iza'o ana zamofo agenkema antahisimo'a antri nehuno na'a fore nehie huno hugahie.

Then the LORD said to Samuel, “I am about to do something in Israel at which the ears of all who hear it will tingle.

12 Hagi Eli naga'ma zamazeri haviza hugahuema hu'na koro ke'ma huzmante'noa kemofona amage ante'na agafareti eri agafa hute'na zamazeri haviza hume vu'na, ome vagaretega zamazeri haviza hu vagaregahue.

On that day I will carry out against Eli everything I have spoken about his family, from beginning to end.

13 Hagi Eli naga'ma zamazeri haviza hugahuema hu'na kore kema huzmante'noa kemo'a mevava huno vugahie. Na'ankure agri mofavre'mokea kefo zanavu'znavama nehake'na, zanazeri haviza hugahuema huankea, agra antahino keno hu'neanagi, haviza neha'e huno znazeri fatgohu kea ozanasami'ne.

I told him that I would judge his house forever for the iniquity of which he knows, because his sons blasphemed God and he did not restrain them.

14 E'ina hu'negu Nagra huvempage huankino Eli naga'mo'zama kresramna hanaza ofaretiro, witi ofaretira nona hu'za kumi'zmia apaosegahaze.

Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli, ‘The iniquity of Eli’s house shall never be atoned for by sacrifice or offering.’”

15 Hagi anagema hutegeno'a Samueli'a vuno umase'negeno vuno ko'atune. Hagi nanterana Ra Anumzamofo mono nomofo kafana ko'ma nehiaza huno anagi'neanagi Ra Anumzamo'ma ava'nagna zampima asami'nea nanekema Elima asami'zankura Samueli'a koro hu'ne.

Samuel lay down until the morning; then he opened the doors of the house of the LORD. He was afraid to tell Eli the vision,

16 Hianagi Eli'a kezatino, Nenamofo Samueliwe, higeno Samueli'a kenona huno, Ama mani'noe.

but Eli called to him and said, “Samuel, my son.” “Here I am,” answered Samuel.

17 Higeno Eli'a Samuelina antahigeno, Na'ane huno Ra Anumzamo'a kasaminefi ana nanekea magore hunka eri fra'okinka nasamio? Hagi kagrama ana mika nanekema eri frakisankeno'a Ra Anumzamo'a kagrira mago'ene knazana erinte agofetu huno kazeri haviza hugahie.

“What was the message He gave you?” Eli asked. “Do not hide it from me. May God punish you, and ever so severely, if you hide from me anything He said to you.”

18 Anage higeno Samueli'a Ra Anumzamo'ma asami'nea nanekea maka asami vagaregeno, Eli'a ana kenona huno, Atregeno Agra'a Ra Anumzamoke agri'ma avesi'nia zana hino.

So Samuel told him everything and did not hide a thing from him. “He is the LORD,” replied Eli. “Let Him do what is good in His eyes.”

19 Anama hutegeno Ra Anumzamo'a Samueli'ene mani'negeno nena huno rana nehigeno, maka nanekema Samueli'ma hu'nea nanekemo'a amnezanknara osu'ne.

And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and He let none of Samuel’s words fall to the ground.

20 Hagi noti kaziga Dani kumateti agafa huteno, vuno sauti kaziga Bersiva kumate'ma mani'za uhanati'naza maka Israeli vahe'mo'za Samuelinkura Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa ne' efore hie hu'za hu'naze.

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

21 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Sailo kumatera seli mono nompi mago'ene Samuelintera efore huno kea eme asamitere hu'ne.

And the LORD continued to appear at Shiloh, because there He revealed Himself to Samuel by His word.
