1 Samuel 3
1 And the child Samuel served Jehovah before Eli. And the word of Jehovah was precious in those days; there was no frequent vision.
E o mancebo Samuel servia ao Senhor perante Eli: e a palavra do Senhor era de muita valia n'aquelles dias; não havia visão manifesta.
2 And it came to pass 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),
E succedeu n'aquelle dia que, estando Eli deitado no seu locar (e os seus olhos se começavam já a escurecer, que não podia ver),
3 and the lamp of God was not yet gone out, and Samuel was laid down in the temple of Jehovah where the ark of God was,
E estando tambem Samuel já deitado, antes que a lampada de Deus se apagasse no templo do Senhor, em que estava a arca de Deus,
4 that Jehovah called Samuel. And he said, Here I am.
O Senhor chamou a Samuel, e disse elle: Eis-me aqui.
5 And he ran to Eli, and said, Here I am, for thou called me. And he said, I did not call. Lie down again. And he went and lay down.
E correu a Eli, e disse: Eis-me aqui, porque tu me chamaste. Mas elle disse: Não te chamei eu, torna a deitar-te. E foi e se deitou.
6 And Jehovah called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here I am, for thou called me. And he answered, I did not call, my son. Lie down again.
E o Senhor tornou a chamar outra vez a Samuel, e Samuel se levantou, e foi-se a Eli, e disse: Eis-me aqui, porque tu me chamaste. Mas elle disse: Não te chamei eu, filho meu, torna a deitar-te.
7 Now Samuel did not yet know Jehovah, neither was the word of Jehovah yet revealed to him.
Porém Samuel ainda não conhecia ao Senhor, e ainda não lhe tinha sido manifestada a palavra do Senhor.
8 And Jehovah called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here I am, for thou called me. And Eli perceived that Jehovah had called the child.
O Senhor pois tornou a chamar a Samuel terceira vez, e elle se levantou, e foi a Eli, e disse: Eis-me aqui, porque tu me chamaste. Então entendeu Eli que o Senhor chamava o mancebo.
9 Therefore Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie down, and it shall be, if he calls thee, that thou shall say, Speak, Jehovah, for thy servant hears. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
Pelo que Eli disse a Samuel: Vae te deitar, e ha de ser que, se te chamar, dirás: Falla, Senhor, porque o teu servo ouve. Então Samuel foi e se deitou no seu logar.
10 And Jehovah came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel said, Speak, for thy servant hears.
Então veiu o Senhor, e poz-se ali, e chamou como das outras vezes: Samuel, Samuel. E disse Samuel: Falla, porque o teu servo ouve.
11 And Jehovah said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel at which both the ears of everyone who hears it shall tingle.
E disse o Senhor a Samuel: Eis aqui vou eu a fazer uma coisa em Israel, a qual todo o que ouvir lhe tinirão ambas as orelhas.
12 In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even to the end.
N'aquelle mesmo dia suscitarei contra Eli tudo quanto tenho fallado contra a sua casa: começal-o-hei e acabal-o-hei.
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 upon themselves, and he did not restrain them.
Porque já eu lhe fiz saber que julgarei a sua casa para sempre, pela iniquidade que bem conhecia, porque, fazendo-se os seus filhos execraveis, não os reprehendeu.
14 And therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be expiated with sacrifice nor offering forever.
Portanto, jurei á casa d'Eli que nunca jámais será expiada a iniquidade da casa d'Eli com sacrificio nem com offerta de manjares.
15 And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Jehovah. And Samuel was afraid to show Eli the vision.
E Samuel ficou deitado até pela manhã, e então abriu as portas da casa do Senhor: porém temia Samuel de relatar esta visão a Eli.
16 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he said, Here I am.
Então chamou Eli a Samuel, e disse: Samuel, meu filho. E disse elle: Eis-me aqui.
17 And he said, What is the thing that Jehovah has spoken to thee? I pray thee, hide it not from me. God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide anything from me of all the things that he spoke to thee.
E elle disse: Que é a palavra que te fallou? peço-te que m'a não encubras: assim Deus te faça, e outro tanto, se me encobrires alguma palavra de todas as palavras que te fallou.
18 And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is Jehovah. Let him do what seems him good.
Então Samuel lhe contou todas aquellas palavras, e nada lhe encobriu. E disse elle: O Senhor é, faça o que bem parecer aos seus olhos.
19 And Samuel grew, and Jehovah was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground.
E crescia Samuel, e o Senhor era com elle, e nenhuma de todas as suas palavras deixou cair em terra.
20 And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of Jehovah.
E todo o Israel, desde Dan até Berseba, conheceu que Samuel estava confirmado por propheta do Senhor.
21 And Jehovah appeared again in Shiloh, for Jehovah revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of Jehovah.
E continuou o Senhor a apparecer em Silo: porquanto o Senhor se manifestava a Samuel em Silo pela palavra do Senhor.
