1 Samuel 3

1 Den unge Samuel gjorde saa Tjeneste for HERREN under Elis Tilsyn. HERRENS Ord var sparsomt i de Dage, et Syn var sjældent.

And the lad Samuel [was] serving Yahweh before Eli and [the] word of Yahweh it was rare in the days those not vision [was] spread out.

2 Ved den Tid — engang da Eli, hvis Øjne var begyndt at blive svage, saa han ikke kunde se, laa paa sin vante Plads,

And it was on the day that and Eli [was] lying in place his (and eyes his *Q(K)*) they began dim not he was able to see.

3 og Guds Lampe endnu ikke var gaaet ud, og Samuel laa og sov i HERRENS Helligdom, hvor Guds Ark stod —

And [the] lamp of God not yet it was extinguished and Samuel [was] lying in [the] temple of Yahweh where [was] there [the] ark of God.

4 kaldte HERREN: »Samuel, Samuel!« Han svarede: »Her er jeg!«

And he called Yahweh to Samuel and he said here [am] I.

5 Og han løb hen til Eli og sagde: »Her er jeg, du kaldte paa mig!« Men han sagde: »Jeg kaldte ikke; læg dig kun hen igen!« Og han gik hen og lagde sig.

And he ran to Eli and he said here [am] I for you summoned me and he said not I summoned return lie down and he went and he lay down.

6 Da kaldte HERREN atter: »Samuel, Samuel!« Og han gik hen til Eli og sagde: »Her er jeg, du kaldte paa mig!« Men han sagde: »Jeg kaldte ikke, min Søn; læg dig kun hen igen!«

And he repeated Yahweh to call again Samuel and he rose Samuel and he went to Eli and he said here [am] I for you summoned me and he said not I summoned O son my return lie down.

7 Samuel havde nemlig endnu ikke lært HERREN at kende, og HERRENS Ord var endnu ikke aabenbaret ham.

And Samuel not yet he knew Yahweh and not yet it was revealed to him [the] word of Yahweh.

8 Da kaldte HERREN atter for tredje Gang paa Samuel, og han stod op, gik hen til Eli og sagde: »Her er jeg, du kaldte paa mig!« Saa skønnede Eli, at det var HERREN, der kaldte paa Drengen.

And he repeated Yahweh to call Samuel at the third [time] and he rose and he went to Eli and he said here [am] I for you summoned me and he understood Eli that Yahweh [was] summoning the lad.

9 Og Eli sagde til Samuel: »Læg dig hen igen, og hvis han kalder paa dig, saa sig: Tal, HERRE, din Tjener hører!« Saa gik Samuel hen og lagde sig paa sin Plads.

And he said Eli to Samuel go lie down and it will be that [if] he will call to you and you will say speak O Yahweh for [is] listening servant your and he went Samuel and he lay down in place his.

10 Da kom HERREN og traadte hen til ham og kaldte ligesom de forrige Gange: »Samuel, Samuel!« Og Samuel svarede: »Tal, din Tjener hører!«

And he came Yahweh and he stood and he called as time on time O Samuel - O Samuel and he said Samuel speak for [is] listening servant your.

11 Saa sagde HERREN til Samuel: »Se, jeg vil lade noget ske i Israel, som skal faa det til at ringe for begge Ører paa enhver, som hører derom.

And he said Yahweh to Samuel here! I [am] about to do a thing in Israel which every [one who] hears it they will tingle [the] two ears his.

12 Paa den Dag vil jeg lade alt, hvad jeg har talt om Elis Slægt, opfyldes paa ham, alt fra først til sidst.

On the day that I will carry out against Eli all that I have spoken against house his beginning and ending.

13 Du skal kundgøre ham, at jeg har dømt hans Slægt for evigt, fordi han vidste, at hans Sønner ringeagtede Gud, og dog ikke talte dem alvorligt til.

And I tell to him that [am] about to judge I house his until perpetuity for [the] iniquity which he knew that [were] bringing a curse to themselves sons his and not he rebuked them.

14 Derfor har jeg svoret over Elis Hus: Visselig, Elis Hus's Brøde skal aldrig i Evighed sones ved Slagtofre eller Afgrødeofre!«

And therefore I swear to [the] house of Eli if it will be atoned for [the] iniquity of [the] house of Eli by sacrifice and by an offering until perpetuity.

15 Samuel blev nu liggende til Morgen, og tidligt næste Morgen aabnede han Døren til HERRENS Hus; men Samuel turde ikke omtale Synet for Eli.

And he lay Samuel until the morning and he opened [the] doors of [the] house of Yahweh and Samuel he was afraid from telling the vision to Eli.

16 Da kaldte Eli paa Samuel og sagde: »Min Søn Samuel!« Han svarede: »Her er jeg!«

And he called Eli Samuel and he said O Samuel son my and he said here [am] I.

17 Da sagde han: »Hvad var det, han sagde til dig? Dølg det ikke for mig! Gud ramme dig baade med det ene og det andet, hvis du dølger noget af, hvad han sagde!«

And he said what? [was] the word which he spoke to you may not please you hide [it] from me thus may he do to you God and thus may he add if you will hide from me a word from all the word which he spoke to you.

18 Saa fortalte Samuel ham det hele uden at dølge noget. Da sagde han: »Han er HERREN; han gøre, hvad ham tykkes bedst!«

And he told to him Samuel all the words and not he hid [them] from him and he said [is] Yahweh he the good (in eyes his *Q(K)*) let him do.

19 Samuel voksede nu til og HERREN var med ham og lod ikke et eneste af sine Ord falde til Jorden.

And he grew up Samuel and Yahweh he was with him and not he made fall any of all words his [the] ground towards.

20 Og hele Israel fra Dan til Be'ersjeba forstod, at Samuel virkelig var kaldet til HERRENS Profet.

And it knew all Israel from Dan and to Beer Sheba that [was being] established Samuel to a prophet of Yahweh.

21 Og HERREN vedblev at lade sig til Syne i Silo; thi HERREN aabenbarede sig for Samuel.

And he repeated Yahweh to appear at Shiloh for he revealed himself Yahweh to Samuel at Shiloh by [the] word of Yahweh.
