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.

[While he was still a] boy, Samuel was working for Yahweh while Eli supervised him. At that time there were very few messages [that anyone received] from Yahweh, and very few people saw visions [that Yahweh gave them].

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

By that time Eli’s eyes were very weak; he was almost blind. [One night] he was sleeping 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.

and Samuel was sleeping in the sacred tent, where the chest that contained the Ten Commandments was kept. While the sacred lamp was still burning,

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

Yahweh called, “Samuel! Samuel!” Samuel replied, “I’m here!”

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

Then he [got up and] ran to Eli. He said to him, “I am here, because you called me!” But Eli replied, “No, I did not call you. Go back to your bed.” So Samuel went and lay down again.

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.

Then Yahweh called again, “Samuel!” So Samuel got up again and went to Eli and said, “I am here, because you called me!” But Eli said, “No, my son, I did not call you. 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.

At that time Samuel did not yet know [that] Yahweh [could speak to him], because Yahweh had not previously revealed anything 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.

[After Samuel lay down again], Yahweh called him a third time. So again Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “I am here, because you called me!” Then Eli realized that it was Yahweh 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.

So he said to Samuel, “Go and lie down again. If someone calls you again, say ‘Speak to me, Yahweh, because I am listening!’” So Samuel went and lay down again.

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 Yahweh came and stood there and called as he had done the other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel said, “Speak to me, because I am 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 Yahweh said to Samuel, “Listen carefully. I am about to do something here in Israel that will shock/horrify [IDM] everyone who hears about it.

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.

When that happens, I will punish Eli and his family. I will do to them everything that I said that I would do.

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.

His sons have shown great disrespect for me by the disgraceful things they have done, and Eli did not restrain them. So I told him that I would punish his family forever.

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

I solemnly promised to Eli’s family, ‘You will never be able to avoid the consequences for your sin, even if you give me sacrifices or offerings.’”

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 again until morning. Then he got up and opened the doors of the Sacred Tent [as usual]. He was afraid to tell Eli about the vision [that Yahweh had given him].

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

But Eli called him and said, “Samuel, my son!” Samuel answered, “I am here!”

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.

Eli asked him, “What was it that Yahweh told you? Do not conceal it! I want God to punish you severely if you do not tell me everything that 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. He did not refuse to tell him anything. Then Eli said, “He is Yahweh. I am willing for him to do what he thinks is best.”

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.

As Samuel grew up, Yahweh helped him, and caused everything to (come true/happen) that Samuel predicted.

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 the people of Israel, from the northern end of the country to the southern end, realized that Samuel was truly a prophet of Yahweh.

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

Yahweh continued to appear to Samuel in Shiloh and give messages to him.
