1 Samuel 3:8 · Berean Standard Bible

Context
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. 10Bwana akaja akasimama hapo, akiita kama mara zile nyingine, “Samweli! Samweli!”
Kisha Samweli akasema, “Nena Bwana, kwa kuwa mtumishi wako anasikiliza.”
