1Pea naʻe tauhi kia Sihova ʻe he tamasiʻi ko Samuela ʻi he ʻao ʻo Ilai. Pea naʻe maʻungataʻa ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia; naʻe ʻikai fakahā ha meʻa hā mai.
1The child Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli. The LORD’s word was rare in those days. There were not many visions, then.
2Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, naʻe tokoto ʻa Ilai ʻi hono potu, pea naʻe fakaʻaʻau ke poʻuli hono mata, ʻo ʻikai kei mamata:
2At that time, when Eli was laid down in his place (now his eyes had begun to grow dim, so that he could not see),
3Pea ʻi he teʻeki ai mate ʻae maama ʻi he faletapu ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua, pea kuo tokoto ʻa Samuela ke mohe:
3and God’s lamp hadn’t yet gone out, and Samuel had laid down in the LORD’s temple where God’s ark was,
4Naʻe ui ʻe Sihova kia Samuela; pea tali ʻe ia, “Ko au eni.”
4The LORD called Samuel. He said, “Here I am.”
5Pea naʻe lele ia kia Ilai, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko au eni; he naʻa ke ui au.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Naʻe ʻikai te u ui; ke ke toe tokoto.” Pea naʻe ʻalu ia ʻo tokoto.
5He ran to Eli and said, “Here I am; for you called me.” He said, “I didn’t call. Lie down again.” He went and lay down.
6Pea naʻe toe ui ʻe Sihova, “Samuela.” Pea tuʻu ʻa Samuela ʻo ʻalu kia Ilai, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko au eni; he naʻa ke ui au.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻE hoku foha naʻe ʻikai te u ui; ke ke toe tokoto.”
6The LORD called yet again, “Samuel!” Samuel arose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; for you called me.” He answered, “I didn’t call, my son. Lie down again.”
7Pea naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe Samuela ʻa Sihova, pea naʻe teʻeki ai fakahā ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia.
7Now Samuel didn’t yet know the LORD, neither was the LORD’s word yet revealed to him.
8Pea naʻe toe ui ʻe Sihova ʻa Samuela ko hono liunga tolu. Pea tuʻu ia ʻo ʻalu kia Ilai, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko au eni he naʻa ke ui au.” Pea naʻe toki ʻilo ʻe Ilai kuo ui ʻa Sihova ki he tamasiʻi.
8The LORD called Samuel again the third time. He arose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; for you called me.” Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.
9Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe Ilai kia Samuela, “ʻAlu ʻo tokoto hifo: pea ʻe pehē, kapau te ne ui koe, te ke pehē, ’ʻE Sihova ke ke folofola mai; he ʻoku ongoʻi ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.’” Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ʻa Samuela ʻo tokoto ʻi hono potu.
9Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down. It shall be, if he calls you, that you shall say, ‘Speak, LORD; for your servant hears.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
10Pea naʻe hāʻele mai ʻa Sihova, ʻo tuʻu, ʻo ui ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai, “Samuela, Samuela.” Pea naʻe toki tali ʻe Samuela, ʻo pehē, “Ke ke folofola mai; he ʻoku ongoʻi ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.”
10The LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel said, “Speak; for your servant hears.”
11¶ Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Samuela, “Vakai, te u fai ha meʻa ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻe vavana ai ʻae telinga, ʻokinautolu kotoa pē ʻe fanongo ki ai.
11The LORD said to Samuel, “Behold, I will do a thing in Israel at which both the ears of everyone who hears it will tingle.
12ʻI he ʻaho ko ia te u fai kia Ilai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻaia kuo ʻosi ʻeku lea ai ki hono fale: ʻo kau ka kamata, te u fai ke ʻosi foki.
12In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even to the end.
13He kuo u tala kiate ia te u fakamaauʻi hono fale ke taʻengata koeʻuhi ko e hia ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi; ko e meʻa ʻi he fai angahala lahi hono ongo foha, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne taʻofi ʻakinaua.
13For I have told him that I will judge his house forever for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons brought a curse on themselves, and he didn’t restrain them.
14Pea ko ia kuo u fuakava ai ki he fale ʻo Ilai, ʻe ʻikai fakamaʻa ʻae hia ʻae fale ʻo Ilai ʻaki ʻae feilaulau pe ko e meʻa ʻatu ʻo taʻengata.”
14Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be removed with sacrifice or offering forever.”
15¶ Pea naʻe tokoto ʻa Samuela ʻo aʻu ki he pongipongi, pea naʻa ne toʻo ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova. Pea naʻe manavahē ʻa Samuela ke fakahā ʻaia kuo hā mai kia Ilai.
15Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the LORD’s house. Samuel was afraid to show Eli the vision.
16Pea naʻe ui ʻe Ilai kia Samuela, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE Samuela ko hoku foha.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko au eni.”
16Then Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son!” He said, “Here I am.”
17Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā ʻae meʻa kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova kiate koe? ʻOku ou kole kiate koe ʻoua naʻa ke fakafufū ia ʻiate au: Ke fai pehē ʻe he ʻOtua kiate koe, mo lahi hake foki, ʻo kapau te ke ʻufiʻufi ʻiate au ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kuo ne folofola kiate koe.”
17He said, “What is the thing that he has spoken to you? Please don’t hide it from me. God do so to you, and more also, if you hide anything from me of all the things that he spoke to you.”
18Pea naʻe fakahā ʻe Samuela ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate ia ʻo ʻikai fufū ha taha. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko Sihova ia: tuku ke fai ʻe ia ʻaia ʻoku lelei ki hono finangalo.”
18Samuel told him every bit, and hid nothing from him. He said, “It is the LORD. Let him do what seems good to him.”
19¶ Pea naʻe tupu pe ʻa Samuela, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻa Sihova, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ke tō kelekele haʻane lea ʻe taha.
19Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground.
20Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe ʻIsileli kotoa pē mei Tani ʻo aʻu atu ki Peasipa, kuo hoko ʻa Samuela ko e palōfita ʻa Sihova.
20All Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.
21Pea naʻe toe fakahāhā ʻa Sihova ʻi Sailo: he naʻe fakahā ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻene ʻafio kia Samuela ʻi Sailo ʻi he folofola ʻa Sihova.
21The LORD appeared again in Shiloh; for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the LORD’s word.
