1 Samuel 3
1 And the youth Samuel is serving Jehovah before Eli, and the word of Jehovah hath been precious in those days — there is no vision broken forth.
Alò, Samuel te sèvi SENYÈ a devan Éli. Yon pawòl soti nan SENYÈ a te ra nan jou sa yo, e vizyon yo pa t fèt souvan.
2 And it cometh to pass, at that time, that Eli is lying down in his place, and his eyes have begun to be dim — he is not able to see.
Li te rive nan lè sa a ke pandan Éli te kouche nan plas li, (alò, vizyon li te kòmanse febli; li pa t kab wè byen),
3 And the lamp of God is not yet extinguished, and Samuel is lying down in the temple of Jehovah, where the ark of God [is],
epi lanp Bondye a potko etenn e Samuel te kouche nan tanp SENYÈ a kote lach Bondye a te ye a,
4 and Jehovah calleth unto Samuel, and he saith, 'Here [am] I.'
ke SENYÈ a te rele Samuel. Li te reponn: “Men mwen isit la!”
5 And he runneth unto Eli, and saith, 'Here [am] I, for thou hast called for me;' and he saith, 'I called not; turn back, lie down;' and he goeth and lieth down.
Alò, li te kouri vè Éli e te di: “Men mwen, paske ou te rele m.” Men Éli te di: “Mwen pa t rele ou. Ale kouche ankò.” Konsa, li te retounen kouche.
6 And Jehovah addeth to call again Samuel, and Samuel riseth and goeth unto Eli, and saith, 'Here [am] I, for thou hast called for me;' and he saith, 'I have not called, my son, turn back, lie down.'
Senyè a te rele ankò: “Samuel!” Konsa, Samuel te leve, li te ale vè Éli. Li te di: “Men mwen, paske ou te rele m.” Men li te reponn: “Mwen pa t rele ou, fis mwen, ale kouche ankò.”
7 And Samuel hath not yet known Jehovah, and the word of Jehovah is not yet revealed unto him.
Alò, Samuel potko konnen SENYÈ a, ni pawòl SENYÈ a potko revele a li.
8 And Jehovah addeth to call Samuel the third time, and he riseth and goeth unto Eli, and saith, 'Here [am] I, for thou hast called for me;' and Eli understandeth that Jehovah is calling to the youth.
Alò, SENYÈ a te rele Samuel ankò pou yon twazyèm fwa. Epi li te leve ale vè Éli. Li te di: “Men mwen, paske ou te rele mwen.” Konsa, Éli te vin apèsi ke SENYÈ a t ap rele gason an.
9 And Eli saith to Samuel, 'Go, lie down, and it hath been, if He doth call unto thee, that thou hast said, Speak, Jehovah, for Thy servant is hearing;' and Samuel goeth and lieth down in his place.
Epi Éli te di a Samuel: “Ale kouche e li va fèt ke si Li rele ou, ke ou va di: ‘Pale, SENYÈ a, paske sèvitè ou ap koute ou.’” Konsa, Samuel te ale kouche nan plas li.
10 And Jehovah cometh, and stationeth Himself, and calleth as time by time, 'Samuel, Samuel;' and Samuel saith, 'Speak, for Thy servant is hearing.'
Alò SENYÈ a te vin kanpe e Li te rele tankou lòt fwa yo: “Samuel! Samuel!” Epi Samuel te di: “Pale, paske sèvitè ou ap koute ou.”
11 And Jehovah saith unto Samuel, 'Lo, I am doing a thing in Israel, at which the two ears of every one hearing it do tingle.
SENYÈ a te di a Samuel: “Veye byen, Mwen prèt pou fè yon bagay an Israël k ap fè zòrèy tout moun an Israël vin toudi.
12 In that day I establish unto Eli all that I have spoken unto his house, beginning and completing;
Nan jou sa a, Mwen va pote kont Éli tout sa ke M te pale selon lakay li, soti nan kòmansman, jiska lafen.
13 and I have declared to him that I am judging his house — to the age, for the iniquity which he hath known, for his sons are making themselves vile, and he hath not restrained them,
Paske Mwen te di li ke Mwen prèt pou jije lakay li pou tout tan pou inikite ke li te konnen yo. Akoz fis li yo te mennen yon madichon sou pwòp tèt yo, e li pa t repwoche yo.
14 and therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli: the iniquity of the house of Eli is not atoned for, by sacrifice, and by offering — unto the age.'
Pou sa, mwen te fè temwen anvè lakay Éli ke inikite lakay Éli p ap padone, ni avèk ofrann, ni avèk sakrifis.”
15 And Samuel lieth till the morning, and openeth the doors of the house of Jehovah, and Samuel is afraid of declaring the vision unto Eli.
Konsa, Samuel te kouche jis rive nan maten. Li te ouvri pòt lakay SENYÈ a. Men li te krent pou pale Éli vizyon an.
16 And Eli calleth Samuel, and saith, 'Samuel, my son;' and he saith, 'Here [am] I.'
Alò, Éli te rele Samuel e te di: “Samuel, fis mwen.” Epi li te di: “Men mwen.”
17 And he saith, 'What [is] the word which He hath spoken unto thee? I pray thee, hide it not from me; so doth God do to thee, and so doth He add, if thou hidest from me a word of all the words that He hath spoken unto thee.'
Li te di: “Ki pawòl ke Li te pale ou a? Souple, pa kache l pou mwen. Ke Bondye fè l konsa a ou menm, e menm plis osi, si ou kache yon bagay a mwen nan tout pawòl ke li te pale ou yo.”
18 And Samuel declareth to him the whole of the words, and hath not hid from him; and he saith, 'It [is] Jehovah; that which is good in His eyes He doth.'
Konsa, Samuel te di li tout bagay. Li pa t kache anyen a li menm. Epi li te di: “Li se SENYÈ a; kite Li fè sa ki sanble bon pou Li menm.”
19 And Samuel groweth up, and Jehovah hath been with him, and hath not let fall any of his words to the earth;
Konsa, Samuel te grandi, SENYÈ a te avèk li e Li pa t kite okenn nan pawòl li yo manke reyisi.
20 and all Israel know, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba, that Samuel is established for a prophet to Jehovah.
Tout Israël soti nan Dan jis rive menm Beer-Schéba te konnen ke Samuel te konfime kòm yon pwofèt a SENYÈ a.
21 And Jehovah addeth to appear in Shiloh, for Jehovah hath been revealed unto Samuel, in Shiloh, by the word of Jehovah.
Epi SENYÈ a te vin parèt ankò nan Silo, paske SENYÈ a te revele Li menm a Samuel nan Silo selon pawòl Bondye a.
