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.
А дете Самуило служаше Господу пред Илијем; и реч Господња беше ретка у оно време, и не јављаху се утваре.
2 And at that time Eli, whose eyesight had grown so dim that he could not see, was lying in his room.
Једном у то време Илије лежаше на свом месту; а очи му почињаху тамнети те не могаше видети.
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.
И Самуило лежаше у дому Господњем где беше ковчег Божји, и жишци Господњи још не беху погашени.
4 Then the LORD called to Samuel, and he answered, “Here I am.”
И викну Господ Самуила, а он рече: Ево ме.
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.
И притрча к Илију, и рече му: Ево ме, што си ме звао? А он рече: Нисам те звао, иди лези. И он отиде и леже.
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.”
А Господ опет викну Самуила, и Самуило уста, и отиде к Илију, и рече: Ево ме, што си ме звао? А он рече: Нисам те звао, сине; иди лези.
7 Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, because the word of the LORD had not yet been revealed to him.
А Самуило још не познаваше Господа, и још му не беше јављена реч Господња.
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.
Тада опет викну Господ Самуила трећи пут, и он уста и отиде к Илију, и рече: Ево ме, што си ме звао? Тада разуме Илије да Господ зове дете.
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.
И рече Илије Самуилу: Иди лези; а ако те зовне, а ти реци: Говори Господе, чује слуга твој. И Самуило отиде, и леже на своје место.
10 Then the LORD came and stood there, calling as before, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel answered, “Speak, for Your servant is listening.”
А Господ дође и стаде; и зовну као пре: Самуило! Самуило! А Самуило рече: Говори, чује слуга твој.
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.
И рече Господ Самуилу: Ево учинићу нешто у Израиљу да ће зујати оба уха свакоме ко чује.
12 On that day I will carry out against Eli everything I have spoken about his family, from beginning to end.
У тај дан ћу учинити Илију све што сам говорио за кућу његову, од почетка до краја.
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.
Јер сам му јавио да ћу судити дому његовом довека за неваљалство, за које је знао да њим навлаче на се проклетство синови његови, па им није забранио.
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.’”
Зато се заклех дому Илијевом да се неће очистити неваљалство дома Илијевог никаквом жртвом ни приносом довека.
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,
И Самуило спава до јутра, па отвори врата дома Господњег. Али се бојаше Самуило казати Илију за утвару.
16 but Eli called to him and said, “Samuel, my son.” “Here I am,” answered Samuel.
А Илије зовну Самуила и рече: Самуило, сине! А он рече: Ево ме.
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.”
А он рече: Какве су речи што ти је казао? Немој затајити од мене; тако ти учинио Бог и тако ти додао, ако затајиш од мене шта год ти је казао.
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.”
И Самуило му каза све, и ништа не затаји од њега. А он рече: Господ је, нека чини оно што Му је воља.
19 And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and He let none of Samuel’s words fall to the ground.
А Самуило растијаше, и Господ беше с њим, и не пусти да падне на земљу ниједна реч његова.
20 So all Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel was confirmed as a prophet of the LORD.
И сав Израиљ од Дана до Вирсавеје позна да је Самуило веран пророк Господњи.
21 And the LORD continued to appear at Shiloh, because there He revealed Himself to Samuel by His word.
И Господ се стаде опет јављати у Силому, јер се Господ јављаше Самуилу у Силому речју Господњом.
