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 served Yahweh under Eli. Yahweh's word was rare in those days; there was no frequent prophetic vision.
2 Sie fong ah Eli, su apkuran elan kunla mutal, el motul infukil sel sifacna.
At that time, when Eli, whose eyesight had begun to grow dim so that he could not see well, was lying down in his own bed.
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,
The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down to sleep in the temple of Yahweh, where the ark of God was.
4 LEUM GOD El pangnol Samuel. Ac Samuel el topuk, “Nga inge!”
Yahweh called to Samuel, who 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.
Samuel ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” Eli said, “I did not call you; lie down again.” So Samuel 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.”
Yahweh called again, “Samuel.” Again Samuel rose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” Eli answered, “I did not call you, 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 have any experience of Yahweh, nor had any message from Yahweh ever been 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.
Yahweh called Samuel again the third time. Again Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” Then Eli realized that Yahweh had called the boy.
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.
Then Eli said to Samuel, “Go and lie down again; if he calls you again, you must say, 'Speak, Yahweh, for your servant is listening.'” So Samuel went and lay down in his own place once more.
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.”
Yahweh came and stood; he called as at the other times, “Samuel, Samuel.” 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.
Yahweh said to Samuel, “See, I am about to do something in Israel at which the ears of everyone who hears it will 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.
On that day I will carry out against Eli everything I have said about his house, from beginning to 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.
I have told him that I am about to judge his house once for all for the sin that he knew about, because his sons brought a curse upon themselves and he did not stop 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.”
Because of this I have sworn to the house of Eli that the sins of his house will never be atoned for by sacrifice or offering.”
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.
Samuel lay down until morning; then he opened the doors of the house of Yahweh. But Samuel was afraid to tell Eli about the vision.
16 Ac Eli el pangnol Samuel ac fahk, “Samuel, wen nutik!” Na Samuel el topuk, “Nga inge.”
Then Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son.” Samuel said, “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 was the word he spoke to you? Please do not hide it from me. May God do so to you, and even more, if you hide anything from me of all the words that he spoke to you.”
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.”
Samuel told him everything; he hid nothing from him. Eli said, “It is Yahweh. 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.
Samuel grew up, and Yahweh was with him, and he let none of his prophetic words fall to the ground.
20 Ouinge mwet Israel nukewa, mutawauk na e Dan me fahsru nwe Beersheba, elos etu tuh Samuel el mwet palu suwoswos lun God.
All Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel was appointed to be a prophet of Yahweh.
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.
Yahweh appeared again in Shiloh, for he revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by his word.
