1 Samuel 3
1 And the boy Samuel ministered to Jehovah before Eli. And the word of Jehovah was rare in those days; a vision was not frequent.
Saamuʼeel mucichi fuula Eelii duratti Waaqayyoon tajaajilaa ture. Bara sana keessa dubbiin Waaqayyoo yeroo tokko tokko malee hin dhufu ture; mulʼanni baayʼeenis hin jiru ture.
2 And it came to pass at that time, when Eli lay in his place (now his eyes began to grow dim, he could not see),
Eeliin inni iji isaa arguu dadhabe sun halkan tokko idduma isaa kan durii rafaa ture.
3 and the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel lay in the temple of Jehovah, where the ark of God was,
Saamuʼeelis mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessa iddoo taabonni Waaqaa ture sana ture; ibsaan Waaqaa amma illee hin dhaamne ture.
4 that Jehovah called to Samuel. And he said, Here am I.
Waaqayyos Saamuʼeelin ni waame. Saamuʼeelis, “Ani asin jira” jedhee deebise.
5 And he ran to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I did not call: lie down again. And he went and lay down.
Fiigees gara Eelii dhaqee, “Ati waan na waamteef ani kunoo dhufeera” jedheen. Eeliin garuu, “Ani si hin waamne; deebiʼii ciisi” jedheen; innis deebiʼee ciise.
6 And Jehovah called again, Samuel! And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I did not call, my son: lie down again.
Ammas Waaqayyo, “Saamuʼeel!” jedhee waame; Saamuʼeelis kaʼee Eelii bira dhaqee, “Ati waan na waamteef ani kunoo dhufeera” jedhe. Eeliinis, “Yaa ilma koo ani si hin waamne; dhaqii ciisi” jedheen.
7 Now Samuel did not yet know Jehovah, neither had the word of Jehovah yet been revealed to him.
Yeroo sana Saamuʼeel Waaqayyoon hin beeku ture; dubbiin Waaqayyos isaaf hin ibsamne ture.
8 And Jehovah called again the third time, Samuel! And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And Eli perceived that Jehovah was calling the boy.
Waaqayyo yeroo sadaffaadhaaf Saamuʼeelin ni waame; Saamuʼeelis kaʼee gara Eelii dhaqe, “Ati waan na waamteef ani kunoo dhufeera” jedhe. Eliin yeroo kana akka Waaqayyo mucicha waamaa ture hubate.
9 And Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie down; and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, Jehovah, for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
Kanaafuu Eeliin Saamuʼeeliin, “Dhaqii ciisi; yoo inni si waame, ‘Garbichi kee dhagaʼaa jiraatii yaa Waaqayyo dubbadhu’ jedhi” jedheen. Kanaafuu Saamuʼeel dhaqee iddoo ofii isaa ciise.
10 And Jehovah came, and stood, and called as at the other times, Samuel, Samuel! And Samuel said, Speak, for thy servant heareth.
Waaqayyos dhufee achi dhaabatee akkuma duraan waametti, “Saamuʼeel! Saamuʼeel!” jedhee waame. Saamuʼeelis, “Garbichi kee dhagaʼaa jiraatii dubbadhu” jedhe.
11 And Jehovah said to Samuel, Behold, I do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
Waaqayyos Saamuʼeeliin akkana jedhe: “Kunoo ani waan gurra namaatti hin tolle tokko Israaʼelitti fiduufin jira.
12 In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house; I will begin and make an end.
Gaafas ani waanan maatii Eelii irratti dubbadhe hundumaa jalqabaa hamma dhumaatti Eeliitti nan fida.
13 For I have declared to him that I will judge his house for ever, for the iniquity which he hath known: because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.
Sababii waaʼee cubbuu inni iyyuu beeku tokkootiif ani maatii isaa akkan adabu isatti himeeraatii. Ilmaan isaa waan jibbisiisaa hojjetan; inni garuu isaan hin dhowwine.
14 And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be expiated with sacrifice or oblation for ever.
Kanaaf ani, ‘Cubbuun mana Eelii aarsaadhaan yookaan qalmaan hin haqamu’ jedhee kakadheera.”
15 And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Jehovah. And Samuel feared to declare the vision to Eli.
Saamuʼeel hamma bariʼutti ni rafe; ergasii balbala mana Waaqayyoo bane. Innis mulʼata sana Eeliitti himuu sodaatee ture.
16 And Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he said, Here am I.
Eeliin garuu ofitti isa waamee, “Saamuʼeel, yaa ilma koo” jedhe. Saamuʼeelis deebisee, “Ani asin jira” jedheen.
17 And he said, What is the word that he has spoken to thee? I pray thee, keep it not back from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou keep back anything from me of all the word that he spoke to thee.
Eeliinis, “Inni maal jedhee sitti dubbate? Na hin dhoksin; yoo ati waan inni sitti hime tokko illee na dhoksite Waaqni waan hamaa sitti haa fidu; sittis haa cimsu” isaan jedhe.
18 And Samuel told him all the words, and kept nothing back from him. And he said, It is Jehovah: let him do what is good in his sight.
Kanaaf Saamuʼeel waan tokko illee utuu hin dhoksin waan hundumaa isatti hime. Eeliinis, “Inni Waaqayyoo dha; waan isatti tole haa godhu” jedhe.
19 And Samuel grew, and Jehovah was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground.
Saamuʼeel guddachaa deeme; Waaqayyos isa wajjin ture; dubbii isaa keessaas tokko iyyuu lafa hin buʼu ture.
20 And all Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, knew that Samuel was established a prophet of Jehovah.
Israaʼeloonni Daanii hamma Bersheebaatti argaman hundi akka Saamuʼeel raajii Waaqayyoo taʼee fudhatame beekan.
21 And Jehovah appeared again at Shiloh; for Jehovah revealed himself to Samuel at Shiloh by the word of Jehovah.
Waaqayyo ammas Shiilootti mulʼate; inni karaa dubbii isaatiin Saamuʼeelitti of mulʼiseeraatii.
