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.
The child Samuel served Yahweh under Eli. Yahweh's word was rare in those days; there was no frequent prophetic vision.
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, )
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 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;
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 Na tinawag ng Panginoon si Samuel: at kaniyang sinabi, Narito ako.
Yahweh called to Samuel, who said, “Here I am.”
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.
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 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.
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 Hindi pa nga nakikilala ni Samuel ang Panginoon, o ang salita man ng Panginoon ay nahahayag pa sa kaniya.
Now Samuel did not yet have any experience of Yahweh, nor had any message from Yahweh ever been revealed to 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.
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 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.
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 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.
Yahweh came and stood; he called as at the other times, “Samuel, Samuel.” Then Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”
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.
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 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 I will carry out against Eli everything I have said about his house, from beginning to end.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Nang magkagayo'y tinawag ni Eli si Samuel, at nagsabi, Samuel, anak ko. At kaniyang sinabi, Narito ako.
Then Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son.” Samuel said, “Here I am.”
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.
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 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.
Samuel told him everything; he hid nothing from him. Eli said, “It is Yahweh. Let him do what seems good to him.”
19 At si Samuel ay lumalaki at ang Panginoon ay sumasakaniya, at walang di pinapangyari sa kaniyang mga salita.
Samuel grew up, and Yahweh was with him, and he let none of his prophetic words fall 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.
All Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel was appointed to be a prophet of Yahweh.
21 At napakilala uli ang Panginoon sa Silo, sapagka't ang Panginoo'y napakilala kay Samuel sa Silo sa pamamagitan ng salita ng Panginoon.
Yahweh appeared again in Shiloh, for he revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by his word.
