3 1Abarimaa Samuel somee yɛn Agya wɔ Eli ase. Saa nna no mu, yɛn Agya asɛm ho yɛɛ na; anisoadehu ntaa mma. 2Da bi Eli da ne dabere a ɔtaa da so no. Nʼani abɔ kusuu araa ma ontumi nhu ade. 3Yɛn Agya kanea no nnumii ɛ; Samuel da yɛn Agya asɔredan no mu, faako a nʼadaka no wɔ. 4Afei yɛn Agya frɛɛ Samuel, na Samuel kae se, “Me ni.”
5Ɔtuu mmirika kɔɔ Eli nkyɛn kɔkae se, “Me ni; wofrɛɛ me.” Eli kae se, “Mamfrɛ wo; san kɔda.” Enti ɔkɔdae.
6Yɛn Agya sane frɛɛ no se, “Samuel!” Samuel sɔre kɔɔ Eli nkyɛn kɔkae se, “Me ni; wofrɛɛ me.” Eli kae se, “Me ba, mamfrɛ wo.” Ɔtoaa so se, “San kɔda.”
7Samuel nnim yɛn Agya ɛ; yɛn Agya asɛm nnaa adi nkyerɛɛ no ɛ. 8Enti yɛn Agya sane frɛɛ Samuel bio, ne mprɛnsa so. Ɔsɔre kɔɔ Eli nkyɛn kɔkae se, “Me ni; wofrɛɛ me.” Afei Eli hui sɛ yɛn Agya na ɔrefrɛ abarimaa no.
9Eli ka kyerɛɛ Samuel se, “Kɔda. Sɛ ɔfrɛ wo a, ka se, ‘Kasa, mʼAgya, efisɛ wo somfo retie.’” Enti Samuel kɔdaa ne dabere.
10Afei yɛn Agya bae, begyinaa hɔ, na ɔfrɛɛ sɛ kan no se, “Samuel! Samuel!” Samuel kae se, “Kasa, efisɛ wo somfo retie.”
11Afei yɛn Agya ka kyerɛɛ Samuel se, “Hwɛ, merebɛyɛ biribi wɔ Israel a ɛbɛma obiara a ɔbɛte ho asɛm no aso mmienu nyinaa ayɛ wiridii. 12Saa da no, mɛyɛ nea maka afa Eli ne ne fifo ho no nyinaa atia no, efi ase kosi awiei. 13Meka kyerɛɛ no sɛ mebu ne fi atɛn daa, ɛnam bɔne a onim ho no nti: ne mmabarima kaa abususɛm tiaa me, na wansiw wɔn kwan da. 14Enti maka ntam akyerɛ Eli fi se: afɔrebɔ anaa ayɛyɛde biara rentumi mpata Eli fi afɔdi da.”
15Samuel dae kosii anɔpa, na obuee yɛn Agya fi apon no. Nanso osuro sɛ ɔbɛka anisoadehu no akyerɛ Eli. 16Nanso Eli frɛɛ no kae se, “Samuel, me ba.” Samuel buae se, “Me ni.”
17Eli bisaa no se, “Dɛn na ɔka kyerɛɛ wo?” Ɔtoaa so se, “Mfa nsie me. Sɛ wode biribi a ɔka kyerɛɛ wo sie me a, yɛn Agya ntwe wʼaso denneennen.”
18Samuel ka biribiara kyerɛɛ no, na wamfa hwee ansie no. Eli kae se, “Ɔno ne yɛn Agya; ɔnyɛ nea ɛyɛ papa wɔ nʼani so.”
19Samuel nyinii; yɛn Agya ka ne ho, na wamma Samuel nsɛm no mu biara antɔ fam. 20Israel nyinaa, efi Dan kosi Beer-Seba, huu sɛ wɔasi Samuel so dua sɛ yɛn Agya diyifo. a a v20 Dan ne Israel kurow a ɛwɔ atifi pɛɛ, na Beer-Seba nso ne nea ɛwɔ anafo pɛɛ — “efi Dan kosi Beer-Seba” kyerɛ asase no nyinaa so. 21Yɛn Agya kɔɔ so daa ne ho adi wɔ Silo, efisɛ ɛhɔ na ɔnam nʼasɛm so daa ne ho adi kyerɛɛ Samuel.
