1 صَمُوئيل 3
| وَخَدَمَ الصَّبِيُّ صَمُوئِيلُ الرَّبَّ بِإِشْرَافِ عَالِي. وَكَانَتْ رَسَائِلُ الرَّبِّ نَادِرَةً فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ، وَالرُّؤَى عَزِيزَةً. | ١ 1 |
Now the child Samuel ministered to the Lord before Heli, and the word of the Lord was precious in those days, there was no manifest vision.
| وَحَدَثَ أَنَّ عَالِي كَانَ مُضْطَجِعاً فِي مَكَانِهِ الْمُعْتَادِ وَقَدْ كَلَّ بَصَرُهُ فَعَجَزَ عَنِ النَّظَرِ. | ٢ 2 |
And it came to pass one day when Heli lay in his place, and his eyes were grown dim, that he could not see:
| وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ صَمُوئِيلُ رَاقِداً فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي فِيهِ تَابُوتُ اللهِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ سِرَاجُ اللهِ قَدِ انْطَفَأَ بَعْدُ، | ٣ 3 |
Before the lamp of God went out, Samuel slept in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was.
| دَعَا الرَّبُّ صَمُوئِيلَ، فَأَجَابَ: «نَعَمْ». | ٤ 4 |
And the Lord called Samuel. And he answered: Here am I.
| وَهَرْوَلَ نَحْوَ عَالِي قَائِلاً: «هَا أَنَا قَدْ جِئْتُ لأَنَّكَ اسْتَدْعَيْتَنِي». فَقَالَ عَالِي: «إِنَّنِي لَمْ أَدْعُكَ. عُدْ وَاضْطَجِعْ». فَرَجَعَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَرَقَدَ. | ٥ 5 |
And he ran to Heli and said: Here am I: for thou didst call me. He said: I did not call: go back and sleep. And he went and slept.
| ثُمَّ دَعَا الرَّبُّ صَمُوئِيلَ مَرَّةً ثَانِيَةً، فَنَهَضَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَمَضَى إِلَى عَالِي قَائِلاً: «هَا أَنَا جِئْتُ لأَنَّكَ دَعَوْتَنِي». فَأَجَابَهُ: «إِنَّنِي لَمْ أَدْعُكَ يَا ابْنِي، عُدْ وَاضْطَجِعْ». | ٦ 6 |
And the Lord called Samuel again. And Samuel arose and went to Heli, and said: Here am I: for thou calledst me. He answered: I did not call thee, my son: return and sleep.
| وَلَمْ يَكُنْ صَمُوئِيلُ قَدَ عَرَفَ الرَّبَّ بَعْدُ، وَلا تَلَقَّى مِنْهُ أَيَّةَ رِسَالَةٍ. | ٧ 7 |
Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, neither had the word of the Lord been revealed to him.
| وَدَعَا الرَّبُّ صَمُوئِيلَ مَرَّةً ثَالِثَةً، فَقَامَ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى عَالِي قَائِلاً: «هَا أَنَا قَدْ جِئْتُ لأَنَّكَ دَعَوْتَنِي». فَأَدْرَكَ عَالِي آنَئِذٍ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ هُوَ الَّذِي يَدْعُو الصَّبِيَّ، | ٨ 8 |
And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. And he arose up and went to Heli.
| فَقَالَ عَالِي لِصَمُوئِيلَ: «اذْهَبْ وَارْقُدْ، وَإذَا دَعَاكَ الرَّبُّ فَقُلْ: تَكَلَّمْ يَا رَبُّ لأَنَّ عَبْدَكَ سَامِعٌ». فَذَهَبَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَرَقَدَ فِي مَكَانِهِ. | ٩ 9 |
And said: Here am I: for thou didst call me. Then Heli understood that the Lord called the child, and he said to Samuel: Go, and sleep: and if he shall call thee any more, thou shalt say: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and slept in his place.
| وَدَعَا الرَّبُّ كَمَا حَدَثَ فِي الْمَرَّاتِ السَّابِقَةِ: «صَمُوئِيلُ، صَمُوئِيلُ». فَأَجَابَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «تَكَلَّمْ لأَنَّ عَبْدَكَ سَامِعٌ» | ١٠ 10 |
And the Lord came and stood: and he called, as he had called the other times: Samuel, Samuel. And Samuel said: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth.
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِصَمُوئِيلَ: «هَا أَنَا مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ أُجْرِيَ أَمْراً فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ تَطِنُّ أُذُنَا كُلِّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ بِهِ. | ١١ 11 |
And the Lord said to Samuel: Behold I do a thing in Israel: and whosoever shall hear it, both his ears shall tingle.
| إِذْ أُوْقِعُ بِعَالِي كُلَّ مَا تَوَعَّدْتُ بِهِ بَيْتَهُ مِنْ أَوَّلِهِ إِلَى آخِرِهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
In that day I will raise up against Heli all the things I have spoken concerning his house: I will begin, and I will make an end.
| وَقَدْ أَنْبَأْتُهُ بِأَنَّنِي سَأَدِينُ بَيْتَهُ إِلَى الْأَبَدِ، عَلَى الشَّرِّ الَّذِي يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ ابْنَيْهِ قَدْ أَوْجَبَا بِهِ اللَّعْنَةَ عَلَى نَفْسَيْهِمَا، فَلَمْ يَرْدَعْهُمَا. | ١٣ 13 |
For I have foretold unto him, that I will judge his house for ever, for iniquity, because he knew that his sons did wickedly, and did not chastise them.
| لِهَذَا أَقْسَمْتُ أَنْ لَا يُكَفَّرَ عَنْ إِثْمِ بَيْتِ عَالِي بِذَبِيحَةٍ أَوْ تَقْدِمَةٍ إِلَى الأَبَدِ». | ١٤ 14 |
Therefore have I sworn to the house of Heli, that the iniquity of his house shall not be expiated with victims nor offerings for ever.
| وَنَامَ صَمُوئِيلُ إِلَى الصَّبَاحِ، ثُمَّ قَامَ وَفَتَحَ أَبْوَابَ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ. وَخَافَ أَنْ يُطْلِعَ عَالِي عَلَى الرُّؤْيَا. | ١٥ 15 |
And Samuel slept till morning, and opened the doors of the house of the Lord. And Samuel feared to tell the vision to Heli.
| فَاسْتَدْعَى عَالِي إِلَيْهِ صَمُوئِيلَ. | ١٦ 16 |
Then Heli called Samuel, and said: Samuel, my son. And he answered: Here am I.
| وَسَأَلَهُ: «بِمَاذَا خَاطَبَكَ الرَّبُّ؟ لَا تُخْفِ عَنِّي. لِيُضَاعِفِ الرَّبُّ عِقَابَكَ إِنْ أَخْفَيْتَ عَنِّي كَلِمَةً مِمَّا خَاطَبَكَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ». | ١٧ 17 |
And he asked him: What is the word that the Lord hath spoken to thee? I beseech thee hide it not from me. May God do so and so to thee, and add so and so, if thou hide from me one word of all that were said to thee.
| فَأَطْلَعَهُ صَمُوئِيلُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ الْكَلامِ، وَلَمْ يُخْفِ عَنْهُ شَيْئاً. فَقَالَ عَالِي: «إِنَّهُ الرَّبُّ، وَهُوَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ». | ١٨ 18 |
So Samuel told him all the words, and did not hide them from him. And he answered: It is the Lord: let him do what is good in his sight.
| وَكَبُرَ الصَّبِيُّ. وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ مَعَهُ. لَمْ يَخْذُلْهُ قَطُّ. | ١٩ 19 |
And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and not one of his words fell to the ground.
| وَعَرَفَ جَمِيعُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ دَانٍ إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدِ ائْتَمَنَ صَمُوئِيلَ ليَكُونَ لَهُ نَبِيًّا. | ٢٠ 20 |
And all Israel from Dan to Bersabee, knew that Samuel was a faithful prophet of the Lord.
| وَظَلَّ الرَّبُّ يَتَجَلَّى فِي شِيلُوهَ حَيْثُ كَانَ يُعْلِنُ ذَاتَهُ لِصَمُوئِيلَ مِنْ خِلالِ رَسَائِلِهِ الَّتِي كَانَ صَمُوئِيلُ يُبَلِّغُهَا لِجَمِيعِ الشَّعْبِ. | ٢١ 21 |
And the Lord again appeared in Silo, for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Silo, according to the word of the Lord. And the word of Samuel came to pass to all Israel.
