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 ministered to the Lord before Heli the priest: and the word of the Lord was precious in those days, there was no distinct 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 that Heli was sleeping in his place; and his eyes began to fail, and 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 burning] before it was trimmed, and Samuel slept in the temple, where [was] the ark of God.
4 Tumawag si Yahweh kay Samuel, na nagsabing, “Narito ako.”
And the Lord called, Samuel, Samuel; and he said, Behold, [here am] I.
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 Heli, and said, [Here am] I, for thou didst call me: and he said, I did not call thee; return, go to sleep; and he returned and went to sleep.
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 the Lord called again, Samuel, Samuel: and he went to Heli the second time, and said, Behold [here am] I, for thou didst call me: and he said, I called thee not; return, go to sleep.
7 Ngayon wala pang anumang karanasan si Samuel kay Yahweh, ni nagkaroon ng anumang mensahe mula kay Yahweh na naibunhayag sa kanya.
And [it was] before Samuel knew the Lord, and [before] the word of the Lord was 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 the Lord called Samuel again for the third time: and he arose and went to Heli, and said, Behold, I [am here], for thou didst call me: and Heli perceived that the Lord [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.
And he said, Return, child, go to sleep; and it shall come to pass if he shall call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak for thy servant hears: and 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 the Lord came, and stood, and called him as before: and 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 the Lord said to Samuel, Behold, I execute my words in Israel; whoever hears them, both his ears 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 raise up against Heli all things that I have said against his house; I will begin, and I will make an 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.
And I have told him that I will be avenged on his house perpetually for the iniquities of his sons, because his sons spoke evil against God, and he did not admonish 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 [it shall] not [go on] so; I have sworn to the house of Eli, the iniquity of the house of Eli shall not be atoned for with incense or sacrifices for ever.
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 slept till morning, and rose early in the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the Lord; and Samuel feared to tell [Heli] the vision.
16 Pagkatapos tinawag ni Eli si Samuel at sinabing, “Samuel, anak ko.” Sinabi ni Samuel, “Narito ako.”
And Heli said to Samuel, Samuel, [my] son; and he said, Behold, [here am] I.
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 [was] the word that was spoken to thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: may God do these things to thee, and more also, if thou hide from me any thing of all the words that were spoken to thee in thine ears.
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 reported all the words, and hid them not from him. And Heli said, He [is] the Lord, he shall do that which is good in his sight.
19 Lumaki si Samuel, at kasama niya si Yahweh at wala sa kanyang mga salitang inihula ang nabigong magkatotoo.
And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and there did not fall one of his words 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 knew from Dan even to Bersabee, that Samuel [was] faithful as a prophet to the Lord.
21 Nagpakita muli si Yahweh sa Shilo, sapagka't ibinunyag niya ang kanyang sarili kay Samuel sa Shilo sa pamamagitan ng kanyang salita.
And the Lord manifested himself again in Selom, for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel; and Samuel was accredited to all Israel as a prophet to the Lord from one end of the land to the other: and Heli [was] very old, and his sons kept advancing [in wickedness], and their way [was] evil before the Lord.
