< 1 Samoela 3 >

1 Ary Samoela zaza nanao fanompoam-pivavahana tamin’ i Jehovah teo anatrehan’ i Ely. Ary tamin’ izany andro izany efa nahàlana ny tenin’ i Jehovah: tsy nisy fahitana niseho loatra.
And the youth Samuel is serving YHWH before Eli, and the word of YHWH has been precious in those days—there is no vision breaking forth.
2 Ary tamin’ izany andro izany, raha nandry tao amin’ ny fandriany Ely (efa pahina ny masony, ka tsy nahita izy),
And it comes to pass, at that time, that Eli is lying down in his place, and his eyes have begun [to be] faded—he is not able to see.
3 sady tsy mbola maty ny jiron’ Andriamanitra, ary Samoela efa nandry tao amin’ ny tempolin’ i Jehovah, izay nisy ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra,
And the lamp of God is not yet extinguished, and Samuel is lying down in the temple of YHWH, where the Ark of God [is],
4 dia niantso an’ i Samoela Jehovah, ary izy namaly hoe: Inty aho.
and YHWH calls to Samuel, and he says, “Here I [am].”
5 Dia nihazakazaka nankeo amin’ i Ely izy ka nanao hoe: Inty aho, fa niantso ahy ianao. Fa hoy Ely: Tsy niantso aho, andeha mandry ihany. Dia lasa nandry izy.
And he runs to Eli and says, “Here I [am], for you have called for me”; and he says, “I did not call; turn back, lie down”; and he goes and lies down.
6 Ary Jehovah niantso azy indray hoe: Ry Samoela! Dia nifoha Samoela ka nankao amin’ i Ely ary nanao hoe: Inty aho, fa niantso ahy ianao. Fa hoy izy: Tsy niantso aho, anaka; andeha mandry ihany.
And YHWH adds to call Samuel again, and Samuel rises and goes to Eli, and says, “Here I [am], for you have called for me”; and he says, “I have not called, my son, turn back, lie down.”
7 Ary Samoela tsy mbola nahalala an’ i Jehovah, sady tsy mbola nanehoana ny tenin’ i Jehovah izy.
And Samuel has not yet known YHWH, and the word of YHWH is not yet revealed to him.
8 Ary Jehovah niantso an’ i Samoela indray fanintelony. Dia nifoha izy ka nankao amin’ i Ely ary nanao hoe: Inty aho, fa niantso ahy ianao. Dia fantatr’ i Ely fa Jehovah no niantso ny zaza.
And YHWH adds to call Samuel the third time, and he rises and goes to Eli, and says, “Here I [am], for you have called for me”; and Eli understands that YHWH is calling to the youth.
9 Ary hoy Ely tamin’ i Samoela: Andeha mandry ihany; ary raha tàhiny miantso anao Izy, dia valio hoe: Mitenena, Jehovah ô; fa mihaino ny mpanomponao. Dia lasa Samoela nandry tao amin’ ny fandriany.
And Eli says to Samuel, “Go, lie down, and it has been, if He calls to you, that you have said, Speak, YHWH, for Your servant is hearing”; and Samuel goes and lies down in his place.
10 Ary avy Jehovah, dia nitsangana ka niantso toy ny teo ihany hoe: Ry Samoela, ry Samoela ô! Dia namaly Samoela hoe: Mitenena, fa mihaino ny mpanomponao.
And YHWH comes, and stations Himself, and calls as time by time, “Samuel, Samuel”; and Samuel says, “Speak, for Your servant is hearing.”
11 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Samoela: Indro, Izaho hanao zavatra eo amin’ ny Isiraely, ka izay rehetra mandre izany, dia hangintsingintsina ny sofiny roa.
And YHWH says to Samuel, “Behold, I am doing a thing in Israel, at which the two ears of everyone hearing it tingle.
12 Amin’ izany andro izany dia hotanterahiko amin’ i Ely izay zavatra rehetra voalazako ny amin’ ny taranany: hatomboko izany, ka dia hotanterahiko.
In that day I establish to Eli all that I have spoken to his house, beginning and completing;
13 Fa efa nambarako taminy fa hotsaraiko mandrakizay ny taranany noho ny heloka izay fantany, satria ny zanany nahatonga ozona ho an’ ny tenany, nefa tsy nosakanany.
and I have declared to him that I am judging his house for all time, for the iniquity which he has known, for his sons are making themselves vile, and he has not restrained them,
14 Koa izany no nianianako ny amin’ ny taranak’ i Ely fa tsy hisy fanatitra hahafaka ny helony mandrakizay.
and therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli: the iniquity of the house of Eli is not atoned for, by sacrifice, and by offering—for all time.”
15 Ary nandry Samoela mandra-pahamarain’ ny andro, dia namoha ny varavaran’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah izy. Ary Samoela natahotra hilaza ny fahitana tamin’ i Ely.
And Samuel lies until the morning, and opens the doors of the house of YHWH, and Samuel is afraid of declaring the vision to Eli.
16 Fa Ely niantso an’ i Samoela ka nanao hoe: Ry Samoela, zanako! Dia hoy izy: Inty aho.
And Eli calls Samuel and says, “Samuel, my son”; and he says, “Here I [am].”
17 Ary hoy izy: Inona no zavatra nolazain’ i Jehovah taminao? masìna ianao, aza afeninao ahy; hataon’ Andriamanitra aminao anie izany, eny, mihoatra noho izany aza, raha nisy afeninao ahy ny zavatra rehetra nolazainy taminao.
And he says, “What [is] the word which He has spoken to you? Please do not hide it from me; so God does to you, and so does He add, if you hide from me a word of all the words that He has spoken to you.”
18 Dia nambaran’ i Samoela azy avokoa ny zavatra rehetra, ka tsy nisy nafeniny azy. Dia hoy Ely: Izy no Jehovah, aoka Izy hanao izay sitraky ny fony.
And Samuel declares to him the whole of the words, and has not hid from him; and he says, “It [is] YHWH; that which is good in His eyes He does.”
19 Ary nitombo Samoela, sady nomba azy Jehovah, ka tsy nisy navelany ho raraka an-tany ny teniny.
And Samuel grows up, and YHWH has been with him, and has not let any of his words fall to the earth;
20 Ary ny Isiraely rehetra hatrany Dana ka hatrany Beri-sheba nahalala fa efa mpaminanin’ i Jehovah tokoa Samoela.
and all Israel knows, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba, that Samuel is established for a prophet to YHWH.
21 Dia niseho tao Silo indray Jehovah; fa niseho tamin’ i Samoela tao Silo Jehovah tamin’ ny teniny.
And YHWH adds to appear in Shiloh, for YHWH has been revealed to Samuel, in Shiloh, by the word of YHWH.
