Sie Samuel 3

1 In pacl se ke tulik Samuel el kulansupu LEUM GOD ye koko lal Eli, tia pus pacl LEUM GOD El sramsram nu sin mwet, ku sikyang nu sin mwet in aruruma.

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

2 Sie fong ah Eli, su apkuran elan kunla mutal, el motul infukil sel sifacna.

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 Ac Samuel el motul in acn mutal, acn ma Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD oan we. Meet liki lenelik, ke lam uh srakna firir,

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

4 LEUM GOD El pangnol Samuel. Ac Samuel el topuk, “Nga inge!”

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

5 ac el kasrusr nu yorol Eli ac fahk, “Nga inge, tuh kom pangonyu.” A Eli el fahk, “Nga tia pangon kom. Folokla motulla.” Na Samuel el folokla ac motulla.

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 Ac LEUM GOD El sifil pang, “Samuel!” Samuel el sifil tukakek ac som nu yorol Eli ac fahk, “Nga inge, tuh kom pangonyu.” A Eli el fahk, “Nga tia pangon kom. Folokla motulla.”

Jehovah 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 Samuel el tiana akilen lah LEUM GOD pa pangnol, mweyen soenna oasr pacl LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sel.

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

8 LEUM GOD El sifilpa pangnol Samuel ke pacl se aktolu. Na Samuel el tukakek ac som nu yorol Eli ac fahk, “Nga inge, tuh kom pangonyu.” Na Eli el akilenak lah LEUM GOD pa pangnol uh.

Then Jehovah 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 Jehovah had called the child.

9 Na Eli el fahk nu sel Samuel, “Folokla motulla, ac El fin sifil pangon kom, na kom fahk, ‘LEUM GOD, kaskas, tuh mwet kulansap lom el porongo.’” Na Samuel el folokla ac motulla.

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 Ac LEUM GOD El tuku tuyang, ac pangnol oana ke El oru meet ah, “Samuel! Samuel!” Na Samuel el topuk ac fahk, “Kaskas, tuh mwet kulansap lom el porongo.”

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

11 Ac LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Sie pacl nga ac fah oru sie ma na upa in Israel, ac elos nukewa su lohng ac fah arulana lut ac oela kac.

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

12 In len sac nga ac fah oru ma nukewa ma nga fahk mu nga ac oru lain sou lal Eli, mutawauk nwe ke safla.

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

13 Nga fahk nu sel tari lah nga ac fah kai sou lal ma pahtpat, ke sripen wen natul kaskas koluk lainyu. Eli el etu ma eltal oru a el tia kutongoltal.

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 Ouinge nga fahkak kalem nu sin sou lal Eli lah ac fah wangin mwe kisa ku mwe sang fah ku in molelosla liki ma koluk lalos inge.”

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 Ac Samuel el oanna nwe ke lenelik, na el tukakek ac ikasla srungul in lohm sin LEUM GOD. El sangeng in fahkak aruruma sac nu sel Eli.

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

16 Ac Eli el pangnol Samuel ac fahk, “Samuel, wen nutik!” Na Samuel el topuk, “Nga inge.”

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

17 Eli el siyuk sel, “Mea LEUM GOD El fahk nu sum? Nikmet okanla kutena ma. God El ac arulana kai kom, kom fin tia fahk ma nukewa nu sik.”

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 Na Samuel el fahkak ma nukewa nu sel Eli. El tia okanla kutena ma. Eli el fahk, “El pa LEUM GOD. Lela Elan oru fal nu ke lungse lal.”

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

19 Ke Samuel el kapkapak, LEUM GOD El welul ac oru tuh ma nukewa Samuel el fahk in pwaye.

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

20 Ouinge mwet Israel nukewa, mutawauk na e Dan me fahsru nwe Beersheba, elos etu tuh Samuel el mwet palu suwoswos lun God.

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

21 Pacl pus LEUM GOD El sikyak in acn Shiloh, acn se ma El tuh sramsram nu sel Samuel we. Pacl nukewa Samuel el ac sramsram uh, mwet Israel nukewa porongo.

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