1 Samuel 3

1 Now the young Samuel was the servant of the Lord before Eli. In those days the Lord kept his word secret from men; there was no open vision.

In pacl se ke tulik Samuel el kulansupu LEUM GOD ye koko lal Eli, tia pus pacl LEUM GOD El sramsram nu sin mwet, ku sikyang nu sin mwet in aruruma.

2 And at that time, when Eli was resting in his place, (now his eyes were becoming clouded so that he was not able to see, )

Sie fong ah Eli, su apkuran elan kunla mutal, el motul infukil sel sifacna.

3 And the light of God was still burning, while Samuel was sleeping in the Temple of the Lord where the ark of God was,

Ac Samuel el motul in acn mutal, acn ma Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD oan we. Meet liki lenelik, ke lam uh srakna firir,

4 The voice of the Lord said Samuel's name; and he said, Here am I.

LEUM GOD El pangnol Samuel. Ac Samuel el topuk, “Nga inge!”

5 And running to Eli he said, Here am I, for you said my name. And Eli said, I did not say your name; go to your rest again. So he went back to his bed.

ac el kasrusr nu yorol Eli ac fahk, “Nga inge, tuh kom pangonyu.” A Eli el fahk, “Nga tia pangon kom. Folokla motulla.” Na Samuel el folokla ac motulla.

6 And again the Lord said, Samuel. And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, Here am I; for you certainly said my name. But he said in answer, I said nothing, my son; go to your rest again.

Ac LEUM GOD El sifil pang, “Samuel!” Samuel el sifil tukakek ac som nu yorol Eli ac fahk, “Nga inge, tuh kom pangonyu.” A Eli el fahk, “Nga tia pangon kom. Folokla motulla.”

7 Now at that time Samuel had no knowledge of the Lord, and the revelation of the word of the Lord had not come to him.

Samuel el tiana akilen lah LEUM GOD pa pangnol, mweyen soenna oasr pacl LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sel.

8 And for the third time the Lord said Samuel's name. And he got up and went to Eli and said, Here am I; for you certainly said my name. Then it was clear to Eli that the voice which had said the child's name was the Lord's.

LEUM GOD El sifilpa pangnol Samuel ke pacl se aktolu. Na Samuel el tukakek ac som nu yorol Eli ac fahk, “Nga inge, tuh kom pangonyu.” Na Eli el akilenak lah LEUM GOD pa pangnol uh.

9 So Eli said to Samuel, Go back: and if the voice comes again, let your answer be, Say on, Lord; for the ears of your servant are open. So Samuel went back to his bed.

Na Eli el fahk nu sel Samuel, “Folokla motulla, ac El fin sifil pangon kom, na kom fahk, ‘LEUM GOD, kaskas, tuh mwet kulansap lom el porongo.’” Na Samuel el folokla ac motulla.

10 Then the Lord came and said as before, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel made answer, Say on, Lord; for the ears of your servant are open.

Ac LEUM GOD El tuku tuyang, ac pangnol oana ke El oru meet ah, “Samuel! Samuel!” Na Samuel el topuk ac fahk, “Kaskas, tuh mwet kulansap lom el porongo.”

11 And the Lord said to Samuel, See, I will do a thing in Israel at which the ears of everyone hearing of it will be burning.

Ac LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Sie pacl nga ac fah oru sie ma na upa in Israel, ac elos nukewa su lohng ac fah arulana lut ac oela kac.

12 In that day I will do to Eli everything which I have said about his family, from first to last.

In len sac nga ac fah oru ma nukewa ma nga fahk mu nga ac oru lain sou lal Eli, mutawauk nwe ke safla.

13 And you are to say to him that I will send punishment on his family for ever, for the sin which he had knowledge of; because his sons have been cursing God and he had no control over them.

Nga fahk nu sel tari lah nga ac fah kai sou lal ma pahtpat, ke sripen wen natul kaskas koluk lainyu. Eli el etu ma eltal oru a el tia kutongoltal.

14 So I have made an oath to the family of Eli that no offering of meat or of meal which they may make will ever take away the sin of his family.

Ouinge nga fahkak kalem nu sin sou lal Eli lah ac fah wangin mwe kisa ku mwe sang fah ku in molelosla liki ma koluk lalos inge.”

15 And Samuel kept where he was, not moving till the time came for opening the doors of the house of God in the morning. And fear kept him from giving Eli an account of his vision.

Ac Samuel el oanna nwe ke lenelik, na el tukakek ac ikasla srungul in lohm sin LEUM GOD. El sangeng in fahkak aruruma sac nu sel Eli.

16 Then Eli said, Samuel, my son. And Samuel answering said, Here am I.

Ac Eli el pangnol Samuel ac fahk, “Samuel, wen nutik!” Na Samuel el topuk, “Nga inge.”

17 And he said, What did the Lord say to you? Do not keep it from me: may God's punishment be on you if you keep from me anything he said to you.

Eli el siyuk sel, “Mea LEUM GOD El fahk nu sum? Nikmet okanla kutena ma. God El ac arulana kai kom, kom fin tia fahk ma nukewa nu sik.”

18 Then Samuel gave him an account of everything, keeping nothing back. And he said, It is the Lord; let him do what seems good to him.

Na Samuel el fahkak ma nukewa nu sel Eli. El tia okanla kutena ma. Eli el fahk, “El pa LEUM GOD. Lela Elan oru fal nu ke lungse lal.”

19 And Samuel became older, and the Lord was with him and let not one of his words be without effect.

Ke Samuel el kapkapak, LEUM GOD El welul ac oru tuh ma nukewa Samuel el fahk in pwaye.

20 And it was clear to all Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba that Samuel had been made a prophet of the Lord.

Ouinge mwet Israel nukewa, mutawauk na e Dan me fahsru nwe Beersheba, elos etu tuh Samuel el mwet palu suwoswos lun God.

21 And the Lord was seen again in Shiloh; for the Lord gave to Samuel in Shiloh the revelation of his word.

Pacl pus LEUM GOD El sikyak in acn Shiloh, acn se ma El tuh sramsram nu sel Samuel we. Pacl nukewa Samuel el ac sramsram uh, mwet Israel nukewa porongo.
