1 N ow the boy Samuel ministered to the Lord before Eli. The word of the Lord was rare and precious in those days; there was no frequent or widely spread vision.

Oo yarkii Samuu'eel ahaana wuxuu Rabbiga uga adeegi jiray Ceelii hortiisa. Oo wakhtigaasna erayga Rabbigu wax aan marar badan la helin buu ahaa, oo muuqasho bayaan ahna lama muujin.

2 A t that time Eli, whose eyesight had dimmed so that he could not see, was lying down in his own place.

Oo wakhtigaas markii Ceelii jiifsaday meeshiisii, (haddaba indhihiisii way arag darnaayeen oo waxba ma uu arki karin)

3 T he lamp of God had not yet gone out in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was lying down

oo laambaddii Ilaahna aan weli la demin, oo Samuu'eelna jiifsaday macbudkii Rabbiga, kaasoo ah meeshii sanduuqa Ilaah yiil,

4 W hen the Lord called, Samuel! And he answered, Here I am.

ayaa Rabbigu Samuu'eel u yeedhay, oo isna wuxuu yidhi, Waa i kan.

5 H e ran to Eli and said, Here I am, for you called me. Eli said, I did not call you; lie down again. So he went and lay down.

Markaasuu Ceelii ku orday, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Waa i kan, waayo, waad ii yeedhay. Kolkaasuu yidhi, Anigu kuuma aan yeedhin, ee iska jiifso. Markaasuu tegey oo jiifsaday.

6 A nd the Lord called again, Samuel! And Samuel arose and went to Eli and said, Here am I; you did call me. Eli answered, I did not call, my son; lie down again.

Markaasaa Rabbigu haddana u yeedhay oo yidhi, Samuu'eelow. Kolkaasaa Samuu'eel kacay oo Ceelii u tegey, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Waa i kan, waayo, waad ii yeedhay. Oo isna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Wiilkaygiiyow, kuuma aan yeedhin ee iska jiifso.

7 N ow Samuel did not yet know the Lord, and the word of the Lord was not yet revealed to him.

Haddaba Samuu'eel weli ma uu aqoon Rabbiga, oo welina erayga Rabbiga looma muujin isaga.

8 A nd the Lord called Samuel the third time. And he went to Eli and said, Here I am, for you did call me. Then Eli perceived that the Lord was calling the boy.

Oo haddana Rabbigu wuxuu Samuu'eel u yeedhay mar saddexaad. Oo isna wuu kacay oo u tegey Ceelii, wuxuuna ku yidhi, Waa i kan; waayo, waad ii yeedhay. Oo Ceeliina markaasuu gartay in Rabbigu u yeedhay yarka.

9 S o Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie down. And if He calls you, you shall say, Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

Sidaas daraaddeed Ceelii wuxuu Samuu'eel ku yidhi, Tag oo iska jiifso, oo waxay ahaan doontaa, hadduu kuu yeedho inaad ku tidhaahdid, Rabbiyow ila hadal, waayo anoo addoonkaaga ah waan ku maqlayaaye. Sidaas aawadeed Samuu'eel waa tegey oo meeshiisuu jiifsaday.

10 A nd the Lord came and stood and called as at other times, Samuel! Samuel! Then Samuel answered, Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening.

Markaasaa Rabbigu u yimid, oo ag istaagay, oo sidii mararkii kale ayuu u yeedhay oo ku yidhi, Samuu'eelow, Samuu'eelow. Markaasaa Samuu'eel wuxuu yidhi, Ila hadal, waayo, anoo addoonkaaga ah waan ku maqlayaaye.

11 T he Lord told Samuel, Behold, I am about to do a thing in Israel at which both ears of all who hear it shall tingle.

Markaasaa Rabbigu Samuu'eel ku yidhi, Bal eeg, waxaan reer binu Israa'iil ku dhex samaynayaa wax ku alla kii maqlaaba uu ka nixi doono.

12 O n that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end.

Oo maalintaas waxaan Ceelii ku samayn doonaa kulli wixii aan reerkiisa kaga hadlay oo dhan, ilaa bilowgii iyo xataa dhammaadka.

13 A nd I announce to him that I will judge and punish his house forever for the iniquity of which he knew, for his sons were bringing a curse upon themselves, and he did not restrain them.

Waayo, waxaan isaga u sheegay inaan reerkiisa weligiis u xukumayo dembigii uu ogaa, maxaa yeelay, wiilashiisii inkaar bay isku rideen, oo isna kama uu joojin iyagii.

14 T herefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be atoned for or purged with sacrifice or offering forever.

Sidaas daraaddeed waxaan reerka Ceelii ugu dhaartay inaan reerka Ceelii weligiis dembigiisa lagu nadiifin doonin allabari amase qurbaan.

15 S amuel lay until morning; then he opened the doors of the Lord’s house. And was afraid to tell the vision to Eli.

Markaasaa Samuu'eel iska jiifsaday ilaa subaxdii, oo dabadeedna wuxuu furay gurigii Rabbiga albaabbadiisii. Oo Samuu'eelna waa ka cabsaday inuu Ceelii muujintii u sheego.

16 B ut Eli called Samuel and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here I am.

Markaasaa Ceelii Samuu'eel u yeedhay, oo ku yidhi, Wiilkaygii Samuu'eelow, oo isna wuxuu yidhi, Waa i kan.

17 E li said, What is it He told you? Pray do not hide it from me. May God do so to you, and more also, if you hide anything from me of all that He said to you.

Markaasuu ku yidhi, Waxa Rabbigu kuu sheegay waa maxay? Waan ku baryayaaye, ha iga qarin. Ilaah ha kugu sameeyo waxaas iyo wax ka sii daranba, haddii aad iga qarisid innaba wixii uu kuu sheegay oo dhan.

18 A nd Samuel told him everything, hiding nothing. And Eli said, It is the Lord; let Him do what seems good to Him.

Oo Samuu'eelna wuu u sheegay wax kasta, oo waxba kama uu qarin innaba. Markaasuu yidhi, Isagu waa Rabbiga, ee ha sameeyo wixii la wanaagsan isaga.

19 S amuel grew; the Lord was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground.

Oo Samuu'eelna wuu koray, Rabbiguna waa la jiray isaga, oo uma oggolaan in erayadiisii midna dhulka ku dhaco.

20 A nd all Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the Lord.

Oo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammuna tan iyo Daan iyo ilaa Bi'ir Shebac way wada ogaayeen in Samuu'eel loo adkeeyey inuu ahaado Rabbiga nebigiis.

21 A nd the Lord continued to appear in Shiloh, for the Lord revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh through the word of the Lord.

Oo Rabbigu haddana mar kale ayuu ka muuqday Shiiloh, waayo, Rabbiga ayaa eraygiisii isugu muujiyey Samuu'eel oo Shiiloh jooga.
