Kings I 3
1 And the child Samuel ministered to the Lord before Heli the priest: and the word of the Lord was precious in those days, there was no distinct vision.
А дете Самуило служаше Господу пред Илијем; и реч Господња беше ретка у оно време, и не јављаху се утваре.
2 And it came to pass at that time that Heli was sleeping in his place; and his eyes began to fail, and could not see.
Једном у то време Илије лежаше на свом месту; а очи му почињаху тамнети те не могаше видети.
3 And the lamp of God [was burning] before it was trimmed, and Samuel slept in the temple, where [was] the ark of God.
И Самуило лежаше у дому Господњем где беше ковчег Божји, и жишци Господњи још не беху погашени.
4 And the Lord called, Samuel, Samuel; and he said, Behold, [here am] I.
И викну Господ Самуила, а он рече: Ево ме.
5 And he ran to Heli, and said, [Here am] I, for you did call me: and he said, I did not call you; return, go to sleep; and he returned and went to sleep.
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 And the Lord called again, Samuel, Samuel: and he went to Heli the second time, and said, Behold [here am] I, for you did call me: and he said, I called you not; return, go to sleep.
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 And [it was] before Samuel knew the Lord, and [before] the word of the Lord was revealed to him.
А Самуило још не познаваше Господа, и још му не беше јављена реч Господња.
8 And the Lord called Samuel again for the third time: and he arose and went to Heli, and said, Behold, I [am here], for you did call me: and Heli perceived that the Lord [had] called the child.
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 And he said, Return, child, go to sleep; and it shall come to pass if he shall call you, that you shall say, Speak for your servant hears: and 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 And the Lord came, and stood, and called him as before: and Samuel said, Speak, for your servant hears.
А Господ дође и стаде; и зовну као пре: Самуило! Самуило! А Самуило рече: Говори, чује слуга твој.
11 And the Lord said to Samuel, Behold, I execute my words in Israel; whoever hears them, both his ears shall tingle.
И рече Господ Самуилу: Ево учинићу нешто у Израиљу да ће зујати оба уха свакоме ко чује.
12 In that day I will raise up against Heli all things that I have said against his house; I will begin, and I will make an end.
У тај дан ћу учинити Илију све што сам говорио за кућу његову, од почетка до краја.
13 And I have told him that I will be avenged on his house perpetually for the iniquities of his sons, because his sons spoke evil against God, and he did not admonish 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 And [it shall] not [go on] so; I have sworn to the house of Eli, the iniquity of the house of Eli shall not be atoned for with incense or sacrifices for ever.
Зато се заклех дому Илијевом да се неће очистити неваљалство дома Илијевог никаквом жртвом ни приносом довека.
15 And Samuel slept till morning, and rose early in the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the Lord; and Samuel feared to tell [Heli] the vision.
И Самуило спава до јутра, па отвори врата дома Господњег. Али се бојаше Самуило казати Илију за утвару.
16 And Heli said to Samuel, Samuel, [my] son; and he said, Behold, [here am] I.
А Илије зовну Самуила и рече: Самуило, сине! А он рече: Ево ме.
17 And he said, What [was] the word that was spoken to you? I pray you hide it not from me: may God do these things to you, and more also, if you hide from me any thing of all the words that were spoken to you in your ears.
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 And Samuel reported all the words, and hid them not from him. And Heli said, He [is] the Lord, he shall do that which is good in his sight.
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 there did not fall one of his words to the ground.
А Самуило растијаше, и Господ беше с њим, и не пусти да падне на земљу ниједна реч његова.
20 And all Israel knew from Dan even to Bersabee, that Samuel [was] faithful as a prophet to the Lord.
И сав Израиљ од Дана до Вирсавеје позна да је Самуило веран пророк Господњи.
21 And the Lord manifested himself again in Selom, for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel; and Samuel was accredited to all Israel as a prophet to the Lord from one end of the land to the other: and Heli [was] very old, and his sons kept advancing [in wickedness], and their way [was] evil before the Lord.
И Господ се стаде опет јављати у Силому, јер се Господ јављаше Самуилу у Силому речју Господњом.
