1 Samuelova 3
1 Mládenček pak Samuel přisluhoval Hospodinu při Elí, a řeč Hospodinova byla vzácná v těch dnech, aniž bývalo vidění zjevného.
[While he was still a] boy, Samuel was working for Yahweh while Eli supervised him. At that time there were very few messages [that anyone received] from Yahweh, and very few people saw visions [that Yahweh gave them].
2 Stalo se pak jednoho dne, když Elí ležel na místě svém, (a již byl počal scházeti na oči, a nemohl viděti),
By that time Eli’s eyes were very weak; he was almost blind. [One night] he was sleeping in his room,
3 Samuel také spal, a světlo Boží ještě zhašeno nebylo v chrámě Hospodinově, v němž byla truhla Boží,
and Samuel was sleeping in the sacred tent, where the chest that contained the Ten Commandments was kept. While the sacred lamp was still burning,
4 Že zavolal Hospodin Samuele. Kterýž řekl: Teď jsem.
Yahweh called, “Samuel! Samuel!” Samuel replied, “I’m here!”
5 I běžel k Elí a řekl: Teď jsem, nebo jsi mne volal. I odpověděl: Nevolal jsem, jdi zase spáti. Kterýž odšed, spal.
Then he [got up and] ran to Eli. He said to him, “I am here, because you called me!” But Eli replied, “No, I did not call you. Go back to your bed.” So Samuel went and lay down again.
6 Opět pak Hospodin zavolal Samuele. A vstav Samuel, šel k Elí a řekl: Teď jsem, nebo jsi mne volal. I odpověděl: Nevolalť jsem, synu můj; jdi zase, spi.
Then Yahweh called again, “Samuel!” So Samuel got up again and went to Eli and said, “I am here, because you called me!” But Eli said, “No, my son, I did not call you. Go back and lie down.”
7 Samuel pak ještě neznal Hospodina, a ještě nebyla mu zjevena řeč Hospodinova.
At that time Samuel did not yet know [that] Yahweh [could speak to him], because Yahweh had not previously revealed anything to him.
8 Tedy opět Hospodin zavolal Samuele po třetí. Kterýžto vstav, šel k Elí a řekl: Teď jsem, nebo jsi mne volal. Tedy srozuměl Elí, že byl Hospodin volal mládence.
[After Samuel lay down again], Yahweh called him a third time. So again Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “I am here, because you called me!” Then Eli realized that it was Yahweh who was calling the boy.
9 I řekl Elí k Samuelovi: Jdi, spi, a bude-li tě volati, řekneš: Mluv, Hospodine, nebo slyší služebník tvůj. Odšel tedy Samuel, a spal na místě svém.
So he said to Samuel, “Go and lie down again. If someone calls you again, say ‘Speak to me, Yahweh, because I am listening!’” So Samuel went and lay down again.
10 I přišel Hospodin, a stál a zavolal, jako i prvé, a řekl: Samueli, Samueli! Odpověděl Samuel: Mluv, nebo slyší služebník tvůj.
Then Yahweh came and stood there and called as he had done the other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel said, “Speak to me, because I am listening!”
11 I řekl Hospodin Samuelovi: Aj, já učiním věc takovou v Izraeli, kterouž kdokoli uslyší, zníti jemu bude v obou uších jeho.
Then Yahweh said to Samuel, “Listen carefully. I am about to do something here in Israel that will shock/horrify [IDM] everyone who hears about it.
12 V ten den uvedu na Elí všecko to, což jsem mluvil proti domu jeho; počnuť i dokonám.
When that happens, I will punish Eli and his family. I will do to them everything that I said that I would do.
13 A ukáži jemu, že já soudím dům jeho až na věky pro nepravost, o níž věděl; nebo znaje, že na se zlořečenství uvodí synové jeho, a však nezbránil jim.
His sons have shown great disrespect for me by the disgraceful things they have done, and Eli did not restrain them. So I told him that I would punish his family forever.
14 A protož jsem zapřisáhl domu Elí, že nebude vyčištěna nepravost domu Elí žádnou obětí, ani obětí suchou až na věky.
I solemnly promised to Eli’s family, ‘You will never be able to avoid the consequences for your sin, even if you give me sacrifices or offerings.’”
15 I spal Samuel až do jitra, a otevřel dvéře domu Hospodinova; ostýchal se pak Samuel oznámiti Elí toho vidění.
Samuel lay down again until morning. Then he got up and opened the doors of the Sacred Tent [as usual]. He was afraid to tell Eli about the vision [that Yahweh had given him].
16 Tedy povolal Elí Samuele a řekl: Samueli, synu můj. Kterýž odpověděl: Teď jsem.
But Eli called him and said, “Samuel, my son!” Samuel answered, “I am here!”
17 I řekl: Jaká jest to řeč, kterouž mluvil tobě? Netaj medle přede mnou. Toto učiň tobě Bůh a toto přidej, jestliže co zatajíš přede mnou ze všech slov, kteráž mluvil tobě.
Eli asked him, “What was it that Yahweh told you? Do not conceal it! I want God to punish you severely if you do not tell me everything that he said to you.”
18 A tak oznámil jemu Samuel všecka slova, a ničeho nezatajil před ním. A on řekl: Hospodinť jest, nechť učiní, což ráčí.
So Samuel told him everything. He did not refuse to tell him anything. Then Eli said, “He is Yahweh. I am willing for him to do what he thinks is best.”
19 Rostl pak Samuel, a Hospodin byl s ním, tak že nedopustil padnouti žádnému slovu jeho na zem.
As Samuel grew up, Yahweh helped him, and caused everything to (come true/happen) that Samuel predicted.
20 Z čehož poznal všecken Izrael od Dan až do Bersabé, že Samuel jest věrný prorok Hospodinův.
So all the people of Israel, from the northern end of the country to the southern end, realized that Samuel was truly a prophet of Yahweh.
21 Nebo se jemu i potom ukazoval Hospodin v Sílo, jakož se byl prvé zjevil Hospodin Samuelovi v Sílo, skrze řeč Hospodinovu.
Yahweh continued to appear to Samuel in Shiloh and give messages to him.
