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 to the Lord before Heli the priest: and the word of the Lord was precious in those days, there was no distinct 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 that Heli was sleeping in his place; and his eyes began to fail, and 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 burning] before it was trimmed, and Samuel slept in the temple, where [was] the ark of God.
4 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa pe Samuẹli. Samuẹli sì dáhùn, “Èmi nìyí.”
And the Lord called, Samuel, Samuel; and he said, Behold, [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 to Heli, and said, [Here am] I, for you did call me: and he said, I did not call you; return, go to sleep; and he returned and went to sleep.
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 again, Samuel, Samuel: and he went to Heli the second time, and said, Behold [here am] I, for you did call me: and he said, I called you not; return, go to sleep.
7 Ní àkókò yìí Samuẹli kò tí ì mọ̀ Olúwa: bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kò sì tí ì fi ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa hàn án.
And [it was] before Samuel knew the Lord, and [before] the word of the Lord was revealed to 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 for the third time: and he arose and went to Heli, and said, Behold, I [am here], for you did call me: and Heli perceived that the Lord [had] called 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.
And he said, Return, child, go to sleep; and it shall come to pass if he shall call you, that you shall say, Speak for your servant hears: and 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 him as before: and Samuel said, Speak, for your servant hears.
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 execute my words in Israel; whoever hears them, both his ears 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 raise up against Heli all things that I have said against his house; I will begin, and I will make an 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.
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 Nítorí náà, mo búra sí ilé Eli, ‘Ìwà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ilé Eli ni a kì yóò fi ẹbọ tàbí ọrẹ mú kúrò láéláé.’”
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 Samuẹli dùbúlẹ̀ títí di òwúrọ̀ nígbà náà ó sì ṣí ìlẹ̀kùn ilé Olúwa, ó sì bẹ̀rù láti sọ ìran náà fún Eli.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n Eli pè é, ó sì wí pé, “Samuẹli, ọmọ mi.” Samuẹli sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi nìyìí.”
And Heli said to Samuel, Samuel, [my] son; and he said, Behold, [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 [was] the word that was spoken to you? I pray you hide it not from me: may God do these things to you, and more also, if you hide from me any thing of all the words that were spoken to you in your ears.
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 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 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 there did not fall one of his words 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 knew from Dan even to Bersabee, that Samuel [was] faithful as a prophet to 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 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.
