1 Samuel 3

1 Samuẹli ọmọkùnrin náà ṣe òjíṣẹ́ níwájú Olúwa ní abẹ́ Eli. Ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ṣọ̀wọ́n: kò sì sí ìran púpọ̀.

And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no frequent vision.

2 Ní alẹ́ ọjọ́ kan Eli ẹni tí ojú rẹ̀ ti bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí di aláìlágbára, tí kò sì ríran dáradára, ó dùbúlẹ̀ ní ipò rẹ̀ bi ti àtẹ̀yìnwá.

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

3 Nígbà tí iná kò tí ì kú Samuẹli dùbúlẹ̀ nínú tẹmpili Olúwa, níbi tí àpótí Olúwa gbé wà.

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

4 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa pe Samuẹli. Samuẹli sì dáhùn, “Èmi nìyí.”

that the LORD called Samuel; and he said: 'Here am I.'

5 Ó sì sáré lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ Eli ó sì wí pé, “Èmi nìyí nítorí pé ìwọ pè mí.” Ṣùgbọ́n Eli wí fún un pé, “Èmi kò pè ọ́; padà lọ dùbúlẹ̀.” Nítorí náà ó lọ ó sì lọ dùbúlẹ̀.

And he ran unto Eli, and said: 'Here am I; for thou didst call me.' And he said: 'I called not; lie down again.' And he went and lay down.

6 Olúwa sì tún pè é, “Samuẹli!” Samuẹli tún dìde ó tọ Eli lọ, ó sì wí pé, “Èmi nìyìí, nítorí tí ìwọ pè mí.” “Ọmọ mi, èmi kò pè ọ́, padà lọ dùbúlẹ̀.”

And the LORD called yet again Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said: 'Here am I; for thou didst call me.' And he answered: 'I called not, my son; lie down again.'

7 Ní àkókò yìí Samuẹli kò tí ì mọ̀ Olúwa: bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kò sì tí ì fi ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa hàn án.

Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him.

8 Olúwa pe Samuẹli ní ìgbà kẹta, Samuẹli sì tún dìde, ó sì lọ sọ́dọ̀ Eli ó sì wí pé, “Èmi nìyìí; nítorí tí ìwọ pè mí.” Nígbà náà ni Eli wá mọ̀ pé Olúwa ni ó ń pe ọmọ náà.

And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said: 'Here am I; for thou didst call me.' And Eli perceived that the LORD was calling the child.

9 Nítorí náà Eli sọ fún Samuẹli, “Lọ kí o lọ dùbúlẹ̀. Tí o bá sì pè ọ́, sọ wí pé, ‘Máa wí, Olúwa nítorí tí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ń gbọ́.’” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Samuẹli lọ, ó sì lọ dùbúlẹ̀ ní ààyè rẹ̀.

Therefore Eli said unto Samuel: 'Go, lie down; and it shall be, if thou be called, that thou shalt say: Speak, LORD; for Thy servant heareth.' So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

10 Olúwa wá, ó sì dúró níbẹ̀, ó pè é bí ó ṣe pè é ní ìgbà tí ó kọjá, “Samuẹli! Samuẹli!” Nígbà náà ni Samuẹli dáhùn pé, “Máa wí nítorí tí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ń gbọ́.”

And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times: 'Samuel, Samuel.' Then Samuel said: 'Speak; for Thy servant heareth.'

11 Olúwa sọ fún Samuẹli pé, “Wò ó, èmi ṣetán láti ṣe ohun kan ní Israẹli tí yóò jẹ́ kí etí gbogbo ènìyàn tí ó gbọ́ ọ já gooro.

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 Ní ìgbà náà ni èmi yóò mú ohun gbogbo tí mo ti sọ sí ilé Eli ṣẹ láti ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ dé òpin.

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

13 Nítorí èmi sọ fún un pé, Èmi yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ fún ilé rẹ̀ títí láé nítorí ìwà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn tí òun mọ̀ nípa rẹ̀ nítorí àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ sọ ọ̀rọ̀-òdì, òun kò sì dá wọn lẹ́kun.

For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever, for the iniquity, in that he knew that his sons did bring a curse upon themselves, and he rebuked them not.

14 Nítorí náà, mo búra sí ilé Eli, ‘Ìwà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ilé Eli ni a kì yóò fi ẹbọ tàbí ọrẹ mú kúrò láéláé.’”

And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be expiated with sacrifice nor offering for ever.'

15 Samuẹli dùbúlẹ̀ títí di òwúrọ̀ nígbà náà ó sì ṣí ìlẹ̀kùn ilé Olúwa, ó sì bẹ̀rù láti sọ ìran náà fún Eli.

And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to tell Eli the vision.

16 Ṣùgbọ́n Eli pè é, ó sì wí pé, “Samuẹli, ọmọ mi.” Samuẹli sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi nìyìí.”

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

17 Eli béèrè pé, “Kín ni ohun tí ó sọ fún ọ?” “Má ṣe fi pamọ́ fún mi. Kí Ọlọ́run mi ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ sí ọ àti jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ pẹ̀lú, bí ìwọ bá fi ohunkóhun tí ó wí fún ọ pamọ́ fún mi.”

And he said: 'What is the thing that He hath spoken unto thee? I pray thee, hide it not from me, God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide any thing from me of all the things that He spoke unto thee.'

18 Samuẹli sọ gbogbo rẹ̀ fún un, kò sì fi ohun kankan pamọ́ fún un. Nígbà náà Eli wí pé, “Òun ni Olúwa; jẹ́ kí ó ṣe ohun tí ó dára ní ojú rẹ̀.”

And Samuel told him all the words, and hid nothing from him. And he said: 'It is the LORD; let Him do what seemeth Him good.'

19 Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú Samuẹli bí ó ṣe ń dàgbà, kò sì jẹ́ kí ọ̀kan nínú ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ kùnà.

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

20 Gbogbo Israẹli láti Dani títí dé Beerṣeba mọ̀ pé a ti fa Samuẹli kalẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí wòlíì Olúwa.

And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.

21 Olúwa sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní fi ara hàn án ní Ṣilo, nítorí Olúwa ti fi ará hàn án fún Samuẹli ní Ṣilo nípa ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa.

And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh; for the LORD revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.
