< صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 3 >
وَكَانَ ٱلصَّبِيُّ صَمُوئِيلُ يَخْدِمُ ٱلرَّبَّ أَمَامَ عَالِي. وَكَانَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَزِيزَةً فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ. لَمْ تَكُنْ رُؤْيَا كَثِيرًا. | ١ 1 |
The child Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli. The LORD’s word was rare in those days. There were not many visions, then.
وَكَانَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلزَّمَانِ إِذْ كَانَ عَالِي مُضْطَجِعًا فِي مَكَانِهِ وَعَيْنَاهُ ٱبْتَدَأَتَا تَضْعُفَانِ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَنْ يُبْصِرَ. | ٢ 2 |
At that time, when Eli was laid down in his place (now his eyes had begun to grow dim, so that he could not see),
وَقَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْطَفِئَ سِرَاجُ ٱللهِ، وَصَمُوئِيلُ مُضْطَجعٌ فِي هَيْكَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ تَابُوتُ ٱللهِ، | ٣ 3 |
and God’s lamp hadn’t yet gone out, and Samuel had laid down in the LORD’s temple where God’s ark was,
أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ دَعَا صَمُوئِيلَ، فَقَالَ: «هَأَنَذَا». | ٤ 4 |
The LORD called Samuel. He said, “Here I am.”
وَرَكَضَ إِلَى عَالِي وَقَالَ: «هَأَنَذَا لِأَنَّكَ دَعَوْتَنِي». فَقَالَ: «لَمْ أَدْعُ. ٱرْجعِ ٱضْطَجِعْ». فَذَهَبَ وَٱضْطَجَعَ. | ٥ 5 |
He 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.
ثُمَّ عَادَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَدَعَا أَيْضًا صَمُوئِيلَ. فَقَامَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى عَالِي وَقَالَ: «هَأَنَذَا لِأَنَّكَ دَعَوْتَنِي». فَقَالَ: «لَمْ أَدْعُ يَاٱبْنِي. ٱرْجعِ ٱضْطَجِعْ». | ٦ 6 |
The 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.”
وَلَمْ يَعْرِفْ صَمُوئِيلُ ٱلرَّبَّ بَعْدُ، وَلَا أُعْلِنَ لَهُ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ بَعْدُ. | ٧ 7 |
Now Samuel didn’t yet know the LORD, neither was the LORD’s word yet revealed to him.
وَعَادَ ٱلرَّبُّ فَدَعَا صَمُوئِيلَ ثَالِثَةً. فَقَامَ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى عَالِي وَقَالَ: «هَأَنَذَا لِأَنَّكَ دَعَوْتَنِي». فَفَهِمَ عَالِي أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَدْعُو ٱلصَّبِيَّ. | ٨ 8 |
The 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.
فَقَالَ عَالِي لِصَمُوئِيلَ: «ٱذْهَبِ ٱضْطَجِعْ، وَيَكُونُ إِذَا دَعَاكَ تَقُولُ: تَكَلَّمْ يَارَبُّ لِأَنَّ عَبْدَكَ سَامِعٌ». فَذَهَبَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَٱضْطَجَعَ فِي مَكَانِهِ. | ٩ 9 |
Therefore 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.
فَجَاءَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَوَقَفَ وَدَعَا كَٱلْمَرَّاتِ ٱلْأُوَلِ: «صَمُوئِيلُ، صَمُوئِيلُ». فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «تَكَلَّمْ لِأَنَّ عَبْدَكَ سَامِعٌ». | ١٠ 10 |
The LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel said, “Speak; for your servant hears.”
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِصَمُوئِيلَ: «هُوَذَا أَنَا فَاعِلٌ أَمْرًا فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلُّ مَنْ سَمِعَ بِهِ تَطِنُّ أُذُنَاهُ. | ١١ 11 |
The LORD said to Samuel, “Behold, I will do a thing in Israel at which both the ears of everyone who hears it will tingle.
فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أُقِيمُ عَلَى عَالِي كُلَّ مَا تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهِ عَلَى بَيْتِهِ. أَبْتَدِئُ وَأُكَمِّلُ. | ١٢ 12 |
In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even to the end.
وَقَدْ أَخْبَرْتُهُ بِأَنِّي أَقْضِي عَلَى بَيْتِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ بَنِيهِ قَدْ أَوْجَبُوا بِهِ ٱللَّعْنَةَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ، وَلَمْ يَرْدَعْهُمْ. | ١٣ 13 |
For 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.
وَلِذَلِكَ أَقْسَمْتُ لِبَيْتِ عَالِي أَنَّهُ لَا يُكَفَّرُ عَنْ شَرِّ بَيْتِ عَالِي بِذَبِيحَةٍ أَوْ بِتَقْدِمَةٍ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ». | ١٤ 14 |
Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be removed with sacrifice or offering forever.”
وَٱضْطَجَعَ صَمُوئِيلُ إِلَى ٱلصَّبَاحِ، وَفَتَحَ أَبْوَابَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. وَخَافَ صَمُوئِيلُ أَنْ يُخْبِرَ عَالِيَ بِٱلرُّؤْيَا. | ١٥ 15 |
Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the LORD’s house. Samuel was afraid to show Eli the vision.
فَدَعَا عَالِي صَمُوئِيلَ وَقَالَ: «يَاصَمُوئِيلُ ٱبْنِي» فَقَالَ: «هَأَنَذَا». | ١٦ 16 |
Then Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son!” He said, “Here I am.”
فَقَالَ: «مَاٱلْكَلَامُ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَكَ بِهِ؟ لَا تُخْفِ عَنِّي. هَكَذَا يَعْمَلُ لَكَ ٱللهُ وَهَكَذَا يَزِيدُ إِنْ أَخْفَيْتَ عَنِّي كَلِمَةً مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَكَ بِهِ». | ١٧ 17 |
He 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.”
فَأَخْبَرَهُ صَمُوئِيلُ بِجَمِيعِ ٱلْكَلَامِ وَلَمْ يُخْفِ عَنْهُ. فَقَالَ: «هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ. مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ يَعْمَلُ». | ١٨ 18 |
Samuel told him every bit, and hid nothing from him. He said, “It is the LORD. Let him do what seems good to him.”
وَكَبِرَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَهُ، وَلَمْ يَدَعْ شَيْئًا مِنْ جَمِيعِ كَلَامِهِ يَسْقُطُ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١٩ 19 |
Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground.
وَعَرَفَ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ دَانَ إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ أَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱؤْتُمِنَ صَمُوئِيلُ نَبِيًّا لِلرَّبِّ. | ٢٠ 20 |
All Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.
وَعَادَ ٱلرَّبُّ يَتَرَاءَى فِي شِيلُوهَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱسْتَعْلَنَ لِصَمُوئِيلَ فِي شِيلُوهَ بِكَلِمَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢١ 21 |
The LORD appeared again in Shiloh; for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the LORD’s word.
