Samuu'Eel Kowaad 3

1 Oo yarkii Samuu'eel ahaana wuxuu Rabbiga uga adeegi jiray Ceelii hortiisa. Oo wakhtigaasna erayga Rabbigu wax aan marar badan la helin buu ahaa, oo muuqasho bayaan ahna lama muujin.

[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 Oo wakhtigaas markii Ceelii jiifsaday meeshiisii, (haddaba indhihiisii way arag darnaayeen oo waxba ma uu arki karin)

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

3 oo laambaddii Ilaahna aan weli la demin, oo Samuu'eelna jiifsaday macbudkii Rabbiga, kaasoo ah meeshii sanduuqa Ilaah yiil,

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 ayaa Rabbigu Samuu'eel u yeedhay, oo isna wuxuu yidhi, Waa i kan.

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

5 Markaasuu Ceelii ku orday, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Waa i kan, waayo, waad ii yeedhay. Kolkaasuu yidhi, Anigu kuuma aan yeedhin, ee iska jiifso. Markaasuu tegey oo jiifsaday.

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 Markaasaa Rabbigu haddana u yeedhay oo yidhi, Samuu'eelow. Kolkaasaa Samuu'eel kacay oo Ceelii u tegey, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Waa i kan, waayo, waad ii yeedhay. Oo isna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Wiilkaygiiyow, kuuma aan yeedhin ee iska jiifso.

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 Haddaba Samuu'eel weli ma uu aqoon Rabbiga, oo welina erayga Rabbiga looma muujin isaga.

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

8 Oo haddana Rabbigu wuxuu Samuu'eel u yeedhay mar saddexaad. Oo isna wuu kacay oo u tegey Ceelii, wuxuuna ku yidhi, Waa i kan; waayo, waad ii yeedhay. Oo Ceeliina markaasuu gartay in Rabbigu u yeedhay yarka.

[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 Sidaas daraaddeed Ceelii wuxuu Samuu'eel ku yidhi, Tag oo iska jiifso, oo waxay ahaan doontaa, hadduu kuu yeedho inaad ku tidhaahdid, Rabbiyow ila hadal, waayo anoo addoonkaaga ah waan ku maqlayaaye. Sidaas aawadeed Samuu'eel waa tegey oo meeshiisuu jiifsaday.

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 Markaasaa Rabbigu u yimid, oo ag istaagay, oo sidii mararkii kale ayuu u yeedhay oo ku yidhi, Samuu'eelow, Samuu'eelow. Markaasaa Samuu'eel wuxuu yidhi, Ila hadal, waayo, anoo addoonkaaga ah waan ku maqlayaaye.

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 Markaasaa Rabbigu Samuu'eel ku yidhi, Bal eeg, waxaan reer binu Israa'iil ku dhex samaynayaa wax ku alla kii maqlaaba uu ka nixi doono.

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 Oo maalintaas waxaan Ceelii ku samayn doonaa kulli wixii aan reerkiisa kaga hadlay oo dhan, ilaa bilowgii iyo xataa dhammaadka.

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

13 Waayo, waxaan isaga u sheegay inaan reerkiisa weligiis u xukumayo dembigii uu ogaa, maxaa yeelay, wiilashiisii inkaar bay isku rideen, oo isna kama uu joojin iyagii.

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 Sidaas daraaddeed waxaan reerka Ceelii ugu dhaartay inaan reerka Ceelii weligiis dembigiisa lagu nadiifin doonin allabari amase qurbaan.

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 Markaasaa Samuu'eel iska jiifsaday ilaa subaxdii, oo dabadeedna wuxuu furay gurigii Rabbiga albaabbadiisii. Oo Samuu'eelna waa ka cabsaday inuu Ceelii muujintii u sheego.

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 Markaasaa Ceelii Samuu'eel u yeedhay, oo ku yidhi, Wiilkaygii Samuu'eelow, oo isna wuxuu yidhi, Waa i kan.

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

17 Markaasuu ku yidhi, Waxa Rabbigu kuu sheegay waa maxay? Waan ku baryayaaye, ha iga qarin. Ilaah ha kugu sameeyo waxaas iyo wax ka sii daranba, haddii aad iga qarisid innaba wixii uu kuu sheegay oo dhan.

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 Oo Samuu'eelna wuu u sheegay wax kasta, oo waxba kama uu qarin innaba. Markaasuu yidhi, Isagu waa Rabbiga, ee ha sameeyo wixii la wanaagsan isaga.

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 Oo Samuu'eelna wuu koray, Rabbiguna waa la jiray isaga, oo uma oggolaan in erayadiisii midna dhulka ku dhaco.

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

20 Oo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammuna tan iyo Daan iyo ilaa Bi'ir Shebac way wada ogaayeen in Samuu'eel loo adkeeyey inuu ahaado Rabbiga nebigiis.

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 Oo Rabbigu haddana mar kale ayuu ka muuqday Shiiloh, waayo, Rabbiga ayaa eraygiisii isugu muujiyey Samuu'eel oo Shiiloh jooga.

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