1And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision.
1 Arwaso Samuwila goono ga goy Rabbi se Eli jine. Rabbi sanno mo ga sandi jirbey din ra, bangandi kulu si no taray kwaaray.
2And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see;
2 A ciya mo jirbey din, waato kaŋ Eli jin ka kani nga nango ra, a moy jin ka sintin ka te kubay-kubay hal a si hin ka di,
3And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep;
3 Irikoy fitilla mo mana bu jina, kala Samuwila kani ka jirbi Rabbi windo ra, nango kaŋ Irikoy sundurko go.
4That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.
4 Kala Rabbi na Samuwila ce. Nga mo ne: «Ay neeya!»
5And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down.
5 Kal a zuru ka koy Eli do ka ne: «Ay neeya, zama ni n'ay ce.» Eli ne: «Yana ni ce. Ye ka koy kani.» A ye ka kani koyne.
6And 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.
6 Rabbi ye k'a ce koyne: «Samuwila!» Samuwila tun ka koy Eli do. A ne a se: «Ay neeya, zama ni n'ay ce.» A tu ka ne: «Ya ay izo, yana ni ce. Ye ka koy kani.»
7Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him.
7 Samuwila wo mana Rabbi bay jina, Rabbi mana nga sanno mo cabe a se jina.
8And 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 had called the child.
8 Rabbi ye ka Samuwila ce koyne, ceeyaŋ hinzanta. Kal a tun ka koy Eli do ka ne: «Ay neeya, zama daahir no ni n'ay ce.» Gaa no Eli faham kaŋ Rabbi no goono ga arwaso ce.
9Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
9 Eli binde ne Samuwila se: «Ma koy ka kani. A ga ciya mo, d'a na ni ce, ni ma ne: ‹Ya Rabbi, salaŋ, zama ni tamo goono ga maa.› » Samuwila binde koy ka kani nga nango ra.
10And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.
10 Rabbi kaa mo ka kay k'a ce sanda doŋ wano cine: «Ya Samuwila, Samuwila!» Waato din gaa no Samuwila mo ne: «Salaŋ, zama ni tamo goono ga maa.»
11And 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.
11 Rabbi ne Samuwila se: «A go, ay ga ba ka hari te Israyla ra, a maayanta mo maakoy kulu hangey ga hẽ.
12In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end.
12 Han din hane ay ga hay kulu kaŋ ay ci a dumo sanni boŋ din toonandi Eli boŋ, za sintina ka kaa hala bananta.
13For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.
13 Zama ay ci a se ka ne ay ga ciiti a dumo se hal abada, laala kaŋ gaa a bay sabbay se. Zama a izey na laaliyaŋ candi ka kande ngey boŋ. Nga mo mana kaseeti i gaa.
14And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever.
14 Woodin se no ay ze Eli dumo boŋ ka ne: Eli windi taalo, i s'a tuusu nda sargay wala nda nooyaŋ hal abada.»
15And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to show Eli the vision.
15 Samuwila binde kani kala susubay. A na Rabbi windo meyey fiti. Samuwila binde humburu nga ma bangando ci Eli se.
16Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I.
16 Gaa no Eli na Samuwila ce ka ne: «Ya ay izo, Samuwila.» Nga mo ne: «Ay neeya.»
17And he said, What is the thing that the LORD hath said 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 said unto thee.
17 Eli ne: «Ifo no Rabbi ci ni se? Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma s'a tugu ay se. Irikoy ma ni laali da ni tugu ay se hay kulu kaŋ a ci ni se ra.»
18And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is the LORD: let him do what seemeth him good.
18 Samuwila binde na haya kulu ci a se. A mana hay kulu tugu a se. Eli ne: «Rabbi no. A ma te haŋ kaŋ a di ga boori.»
19And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.
19 Samuwila binde beeri, Rabbi go a banda mo. A mana naŋ mo a sanney ma kaŋ ganda, baa afolloŋ.
20And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.
20 Israyla kulu mo, za Dan kal a ma koy Beyer-Seba bay kaŋ tabbat no Samuwila ya Rabbi annabi* no.
21And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.
21 Rabbi ye ka bangay a se Silo ra, zama Silo ra no Rabbi na nga boŋ bangandi Samuwila se Rabbi sanno do.
