Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, because the word of the LORD had not yet been revealed to him.
Context
5Naye akakimbia kwa Eli na kumwambia, “Mimi hapa, kwa kuwa umeniita.”
Lakini Eli akasema, “Sikukuita; rudi ukalale.” Hivyo akaenda kulala. 6Bwana akaita tena, “Samweli!” Naye Samweli akaamka, kwenda kwa Eli na kusema, “Mimi hapa, kwa kuwa umeniita.”
Eli akasema, “Mwanangu, sikukuita, rudi ukalale.” 7Wakati huu Samweli alikuwa bado hajamjua Bwana. Neno la Bwana lilikuwa bado halijafunuliwa kwake. 8Bwana akamwita Samweli mara ya tatu, naye Samweli akaamka kwenda kwa Eli na kusema, “Mimi hapa, kwa kuwa umeniita.”
Ndipo Eli akatambua kuwa Bwana alikuwa akimwita kijana. 9Hivyo Eli akamwambia Samweli, “Nenda ukalale, na kama akikuita, sema, ‘Nena Bwana, kwa kuwa mtumishi wako anasikiliza.’ ” Hivyo Samweli akaenda na kulala mahali pake.
