1 Samuel 3
1 At ang batang si Samuel ay nangangasiwa sa Panginoon sa harap ni Eli. At ang salita ng Panginoon ay mahalaga noong mga araw na yaon; walang hayag na pangitain.
And the lad Samuel was ministering unto the Lord before 'Eli. And the word of the Lord was scarce in those days: prophecy was not extended.
2 At nangyari nang panahon na yaon, nang si Eli ay mahiga sa kaniyang dako, (ang kaniya ngang mata'y nagpasimulang lumabo, na siya'y hindi nakakita, )
And it came to pass one day, when 'Eli was lying down in his place, and his eyes had begun to grow dim, he could not see;
3 At ang ilawan ng Dios ay hindi pa namamatay, at si Samuel ay nakahiga upang matulog, sa templo ng Panginoon, na kinaroroonan ng kaban ng Dios;
And the lamp of God had not yet gone out, while Samuel was lying down in [the hall of] the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was;
4 Na tinawag ng Panginoon si Samuel: at kaniyang sinabi, Narito ako.
That the Lord called Samuel: and he said, Here am I.
5 At siya'y tumakbo kay Eli, at nagsabi, Narito ako; sapagka't tinawag mo ako. At kaniyang sinabi, Hindi ako tumawag; mahiga ka uli. At siya'y yumaon at nahiga.
And he ran unto 'Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he said, I did not call: lie down again. And he went and lay down.
6 At tumawag pa uli ang Panginoon, Samuel. At bumangon si Samuel at naparoon kay Eli, at nagsabi, Narito ako: sapagka't ako'y tinawag mo. At siya'y sumagot, Hindi ako tumawag, anak ko; mahiga ka uli.
And the Lord continued to call again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to 'Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I did not call, my son: lie down again.
7 Hindi pa nga nakikilala ni Samuel ang Panginoon, o ang salita man ng Panginoon ay nahahayag pa sa kaniya.
And Samuel knew not yet the Lord, nor had the word of the Lord been as yet revealed unto him.
8 At tinawag uli ng Panginoon na ikaitlo. At siya'y bumangon, at naparoon kay Eli, at nagsabi, Narito ako; sapagka't ako'y iyong tinawag. At nahalata ni Eli na tinatawag ng Panginoon ang bata.
And the Lord continued to call, Samuel, the third time; and he arose and went to 'Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And 'Eli then perceived that the Lord was calling the lad.
9 Kaya't sinabi ni Eli kay Samuel, Yumaon ka, mahiga ka: at mangyayari, na kung tatawagin ka niya, ay iyong sasabihin, Magsalita ka, Panginoon; sapagka't dinirinig ng iyong lingkod. Sa gayo'y yumaon si Samuel at nahiga sa kaniyang dako.
And 'Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down; and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, Lord; for thy servant heareth. And Samuel went and lay down in his place.
10 At ang Panginoon ay naparoon, at tumayo, at tumawag na gaya ng una, Samuel, Samuel. Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Samuel, Magsalita ka; sapagka't dinirinig ng iyong lingkod.
And the Lord came, and placed himself, and called as at previous times, Samuel, Samuel. And Samuel said, Speak; for thy servant heareth.
11 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Samuel, Narito, gagawa ako ng isang bagay sa Israel, na ang dalawang tainga ng bawa't isa na nakikinig ay magpapanting.
And the Lord said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
12 Sa araw na yaon ay aking tutuparin kay Eli ang lahat na aking sinalita tungkol sa kaniyang sangbahayan, mula sa pasimula hanggang sa wakas.
On that day will I fulfill on 'Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house: I will begin and finish.
13 Sapagka't aking isinaysay sa kaniya na aking huhukuman ang kaniyang sangbahayan magpakailan man, dahil sa kasamaan na kaniyang nalalaman, sapagka't ang kaniyang mga anak ay nagdala ng sumpa sa kanilang sarili, at hindi niya sinangsala sila.
And I tell him that I will judge his house for ever; for the iniquity that he knew that his sons were drawing a curse on themselves, and he restrained them not.
14 At kaya't ako'y sumumpa sa sangbahayan ni Eli, na ang kasamaan ng sangbahayan ni Eli ay hindi mapapawi ng hain, o handog man magpakailan man.
And therefore have I sworn unto the house of 'Eli, that the iniquity of 'Eli's house shall not be atoned for with sacrifice or meat-offering for ever.
15 At nahiga si Samuel hanggang sa kinaumagahan, at ibinukas ang mga pinto ng bahay ng Panginoon. At natakot si Samuel na saysayin kay Eli ang panaginip.
And Samuel lay until the morning, when he opened the doors of the house of the Lord; and Samuel feared to tell the vision unto 'Eli.
16 Nang magkagayo'y tinawag ni Eli si Samuel, at nagsabi, Samuel, anak ko. At kaniyang sinabi, Narito ako.
But 'Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he said, Here am I.
17 At kaniyang sinabi, Ano ang bagay na sinalita sa iyo? isinasamo ko sa iyo na huwag mong ilihim sa akin: hatulan ka ng Dios, at lalo na, kung iyong ililihim sa akin ang anomang bagay sa lahat ng mga bagay na kaniyang sinalita sa iyo.
And he said, What is the word which he hath spoken unto thee? do not, I pray thee, conceal it from me: may God do to thee thus, and continue to do so, if thou conceal any thing from me of all the word that he hath spoken unto thee.
18 At isinaysay sa kaniya ni Samuel ang buong sinalita, at hindi naglihim ng anoman sa kaniya. At kaniyang sinabi, Panginoon nga: gawin niya ang inaakala niyang mabuti.
And Samuel told him all the words, and concealed nothing from him. And he said, He is the Lord: let him do what seemeth good in his eyes.
19 At si Samuel ay lumalaki at ang Panginoon ay sumasakaniya, at walang di pinapangyari sa kaniyang mga salita.
And Samuel grew up, and the Lord was with him, and he did not let fall any one of all his words to the ground.
20 At nakilala ng buong Israel mula sa Dan hanggang sa Beer-seba na si Samuel ay itinatag na maging propeta ng Panginoon.
And thus knew all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba' that Samuel was accredited as a prophet of the Lord.
21 At napakilala uli ang Panginoon sa Silo, sapagka't ang Panginoo'y napakilala kay Samuel sa Silo sa pamamagitan ng salita ng Panginoon.
And the Lord continued to appear in Shiloh; for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the Lord.
