1 Samuel 3
1 And the boy Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli. Now in those days the word of the LORD was rare and visions were scarce.
童子サムエル、エリのまへにありてヱホバにつかふ當時はヱホバの言まれにして默示あること恒ならざりき
2 And at that time Eli, whose eyesight had grown so dim that he could not see, was lying in his room.
偖エリ目漸くくもりて見ることをえず此時其室に寝たり
3 Before the lamp of God had gone out, Samuel was lying down in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was located.
神の燈なほきえずサムエル神の櫃あるヱホバの宮に寝ね
4 Then the LORD called to Samuel, and he answered, “Here I am.”
時にヱホバ、サムエルをよびたまふ彼我此にありといひて
5 He ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you have called me.” “I did not call,” Eli replied. “Go back and lie down.” So he went and lay down.
エリの許に趨ゆきいひけるは汝われをよぶ我ここにありエリいひけるは我よばず反りて臥よと乃ちゆきていぬ
6 Once again the LORD called, “Samuel!” So Samuel got up, went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you have called me.” “My son, I did not call,” Eli replied. “Go back and lie down.”
ヱホバまたかさねてサムエルよとよびたまへばサムエルおきてエリのもとにいたりいひけるは汝われをよぶ我ここにありエリこたへけるは我よばずわが子よ反りていねよ
7 Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, because the word of the LORD had not yet been revealed to him.
サムエルいまだヱホバをしらずまたヱホバのことばいまだかれにあらはれず
8 Once again, for the third time, the LORD called to Samuel. He got up, went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you have called me.” Then Eli realized that it was the LORD who was calling the boy.
ヱホバ、三たびめに又サムエルをよびたまへばサムエルおきてエリの許にたりいひけるは汝われをよぶ我ここにありとエリ乃ちヱホバの童子をよびたまひしをさとる
9 “Go and lie down,” he said to Samuel, “and if He calls you, say, ‘Speak, LORD, for Your servant is listening.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
故にエリ、サムエルにいひけるはゆきて寝よ彼若し汝をよばば僕聽くヱホバ語りたまへといへとサムエルゆきて其室にいねしに
10 Then the LORD came and stood there, calling as before, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel answered, “Speak, for Your servant is listening.”
ヱホバ來りて立ちまへの如くサムエル、サムエルとよびたまへばサムエル僕きく語りたまへといふ
11 Then the LORD said to Samuel, “I am about to do something in Israel at which the ears of all who hear it will tingle.
ヱホバ、サムエルにいひ賜けるは視よ我イスラエルのうちに一の事をなさんこれをきくものは皆其耳ふたつながら鳴ん
12 On that day I will carry out against Eli everything I have spoken about his family, from beginning to end.
其日にはわれ嘗てエリの家について言しことを始より終までことごとくエリになすべし
13 I told him that I would judge his house forever for the iniquity of which he knows, because his sons blasphemed God and he did not restrain them.
われかつてエリに其惡事のために永くその家をさばかんとしめせりそは其子の詛ふべきことをなすをしりて之をとどめざればなり
14 Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli, ‘The iniquity of Eli’s house shall never be atoned for by sacrifice or offering.’”
是故に我エリのいへに誓ひてエリの家の惡は犠牲あるひは禮物をもて永くあがなふ能はずといへり
15 Samuel lay down until the morning; then he opened the doors of the house of the LORD. He was afraid to tell Eli the vision,
サムエル朝までいねてヱホバの家の戸を開きしが其異象をエリにしめすことをおそる
16 but Eli called to him and said, “Samuel, my son.” “Here I am,” answered Samuel.
エリ、サムエルをよびていひけるはわが子サムエルよ答へけるはわれここにあり
17 “What was the message He gave you?” Eli asked. “Do not hide it from me. May God punish you, and ever so severely, if you hide from me anything He said to you.”
エリいひけるは何事を汝につげたまひしや請ふ我にかくすなかれ汝もし其汝に告げたまひしところを一にてもかくすときは神汝にかくなし又かさねてかくなしたまヘ
18 So Samuel told him everything and did not hide a thing from him. “He is the LORD,” replied Eli. “Let Him do what is good in His eyes.”
サムエル其事をことごとくしめして彼に隱すことなかりきエリいひけるは是はヱホバなり其よしと見たまふことをなしたまへと
19 And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and He let none of Samuel’s words fall to the ground.
サムエルそだちぬヱホバこれとともにいましてそのことばをして一も地におちざらしめたまふ
20 So all Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel was confirmed as a prophet of the LORD.
ダンよりベエルシバにいたるまでイスラエルの人みなサムエルがヱホバの預言者とさだまれるをしれり
21 And the LORD continued to appear at Shiloh, because there He revealed Himself to Samuel by His word.
ヱホバふたたびシロにてあらはれたまふヱホバ、シロにおいてヱホバの言によりてサムエルにおのれをしめしたまふなりサムエルの言あまねくイスラエル人におよぶ
