1 Samuel 3

1 Naglingkod kay Yahweh ang batang si Samuel na nakapailalim kay Eli. Madalang ang mga salita ni Yahweh sa mga panahong iyon; walang madalas na pangitain.

And the child Samuel served Jehovah before Eli. And the word of Jehovah was precious in those days; there was no frequent vision.

2 Sa panahong iyon, nang si Eli, na ang paningin ay nagsimulang lumabo kaya hindi na siya makakita nang mabuti, ay nakahiga sa kanyang sariling higaan.

And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place (now his eyes had begun to grow dim so that he could not see),

3 Hindi pa namamatay ang ilawan ng Diyos, at nakahiga si Samuel upang matulog sa bahay ni Yahweh, kung saan naroon ang kaban ng Diyos.

and the lamp of God was not yet gone out, and Samuel was laid down in the temple of Jehovah where the ark of God was,

4 Tumawag si Yahweh kay Samuel, na nagsabing, “Narito ako.”

that Jehovah called Samuel. And he said, Here I am.

5 Tumakbo si Samuel kay Eli at sinabing, “Narito ako, dahil tinawag mo ako.” Sinabi ni Eli, “Hindi kita tinawag; humiga ka ulit.” Umalis si Samuel at humiga.

And he ran to Eli, and said, Here I am, for thou called me. And he said, I did not call. Lie down again. And he went and lay down.

6 Tumawag muli si Yahweh, “Samuel.” Bumangon muli si Samuel at nagtungo kay Eli at sinabing, “Narito ako, dahil tinawag mo ako.” Sumagot si Eli, “Hindi kita tinawag, aking anak; humiga ka muli.”

And Jehovah called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here I am, for thou called me. And he answered, I did not call, my son. Lie down again.

7 Ngayon wala pang anumang karanasan si Samuel kay Yahweh, ni nagkaroon ng anumang mensahe mula kay Yahweh na naibunhayag sa kanya.

Now Samuel did not yet know Jehovah, neither was the word of Jehovah yet revealed to him.

8 Tinawag muli ni Yahweh si Samuel sa ikatlong pagkakataon. Muling bumangon si Samuel at nagtungo kay Eli at sinabing, “Narito ako, sapagka't tinawag mo ako.” Pagkatapos napagtanto ni Eli na tinawag ni Yahweh ang bata.

And Jehovah called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here I am, for thou called me. And Eli perceived that Jehovah had called the child.

9 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Eli kay Samuel, “Umalis ka at humigang muli; kung tatawagin ka niya muli, dapat mong sabihin, 'Magsalita ka, Yahweh, sapagka't nakikinig ang iyong lingkod.''' Kaya umalis si Samuel at minsan pang humiga sa kanyang sariling lugar.

Therefore Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie down, and it shall be, if he calls thee, that thou shall say, Speak, Jehovah, for thy servant hears. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

10 Dumating si Yahweh at tumayo; tumawag siya tulad ng ibang mga pagkakataon, “Samuel, Samuel.” Pagkatapos sinabi ni Samuel, “Magsalita ka, sapagka't nakikinig ang iyong lingkod.”

And Jehovah came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel said, Speak, for thy servant hears.

11 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Samuel, “Tingnan mo, gagawa akong ng isang bagay sa Israel kung saan manginginig ang mga tainga ng lahat ng makakarinig nito.

And Jehovah said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel at which both the ears of everyone who hears it shall tingle.

12 Sa araw na iyon tutuparin ko ang lahat ng bagay na aking sinabi kay Eli tungkol sa kanyang bahay, mula simula hanggang sa katapusan.

In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even to the end.

13 Sinabi ko na sa kanya na hahatulan ko ang kanyang sambahayan minsan para sa lahat ng kasalanang kanyang nalaman, dahil nagdala ng sumpa sa kanilang sarili ang kanyang mga anak na lalaki at hindi niya sila pinigilan.

For I have told him that I will judge his house forever, for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons brought a curse upon themselves, and he did not restrain them.

14 Dahil dito naipangako ko sa sambahayan ni Eli na ang mga kasalanan ng kanyang sambahayan ay hindi kailanman mapapawi sa pamamagitan ng alay o handog.”

And therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be expiated with sacrifice nor offering forever.

15 Nakahiga si Samuel hanggang umaga; pagkatapos binuksan niya ang mga pintuan ng bahay ni Yahweh. Ngunit natakot si Samuel na sabihin kay Eli ang tungkol sa pangitain.

And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Jehovah. And Samuel was afraid to show Eli the vision.

16 Pagkatapos tinawag ni Eli si Samuel at sinabing, “Samuel, anak ko.” Sinabi ni Samuel, “Narito ako.”

Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he said, Here I am.

17 Sinabi niya, “Ano ang salitang kanyang sinabi sa iyo? Pakiusap huwag mo itong itago mula sa akin. Gawin nawa sa iyo ng Diyos, at higit pa, kung itatago mo ang anumang bagay mula sa akin anuman sa lahat ng salitang sinabi niya sa iyo.”

And he said, What is the thing that Jehovah has spoken to thee? I pray thee, hide it not from me. God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide anything from me of all the things that he spoke to thee.

18 Sinabi ni Samuel sa kanya ang lahat; wala siyang tinago mula sa kanya. Sinabi ni Eli, “Si Yahweh iyon. Hayaan mong gawin niya anuman ang sa tingin niya ay mabuti sa kanya.”

And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is Jehovah. Let him do what seems him good.

19 Lumaki si Samuel, at kasama niya si Yahweh at wala sa kanyang mga salitang inihula ang nabigong magkatotoo.

And Samuel grew, and Jehovah was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground.

20 Nalaman ng buong Israel mula Dan hanggang Beer-seba na hinirang si Samuel upang maging isang propeta ni Yahweh.

And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of Jehovah.

21 Nagpakita muli si Yahweh sa Shilo, sapagka't ibinunyag niya ang kanyang sarili kay Samuel sa Shilo sa pamamagitan ng kanyang salita.

And Jehovah appeared again in Shiloh, for Jehovah revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of Jehovah.
