1 Samuel 3

1 Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the Lord before Eli, and the word of the Lord was precious in those days; there was no manifest vision.

Mládenček pak Samuel přisluhoval Hospodinu při Elí, a řeč Hospodinova byla vzácná v těch dnech, aniž bývalo vidění zjevného.

2 Then it happened that, on a certain day, Eli was lying in his place. And his eyes had dimmed, so that he was unable to see.

Stalo se pak jednoho dne, když Elí ležel na místě svém, (a již byl počal scházeti na oči, a nemohl viděti, )

3 And so, to prevent the lamp of God from going out, Samuel was sleeping in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was.

Samuel také spal, a světlo Boží ještě zhašeno nebylo v chrámě Hospodinově, v němž byla truhla Boží,

4 And the Lord called Samuel. And responding, he said, “Here I am.”

Že zavolal Hospodin Samuele. Kterýž řekl: Teď jsem.

5 And he ran to Eli, and he said, “Here I am. For you called me.” And he said: “I did not call. Return and sleep.” And he went away, and he slept.

I běžel k Elí a řekl: Teď jsem, nebo jsi mne volal. I odpověděl: Nevolal jsem, jdi zase spáti. Kterýž odšed, spal.

6 And again, the Lord continued to call to Samuel. And rising up, Samuel went to Eli, and he said: “Here I am. For you called me.” And he responded: “I did not call you, my son. Return and sleep.”

Opět pak Hospodin zavolal Samuele. A vstav Samuel, šel k Elí a řekl: Teď jsem, nebo jsi mne volal. I odpověděl: Nevolalť jsem, synu můj; jdi zase, spi.

7 Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, and the word of the Lord had not been revealed to him.

Samuel pak ještě neznal Hospodina, a ještě nebyla mu zjevena řeč Hospodinova.

8 And the Lord continued, and he called to Samuel still a third time. And rising up, he went to Eli.

Tedy opět Hospodin zavolal Samuele po třetí. Kterýžto vstav, šel k Elí a řekl: Teď jsem, nebo jsi mne volal. Tedy srozuměl Elí, že byl Hospodin volal mládence.

9 And he said: “Here I am. For you called me.” Then Eli understood that the Lord had called the boy. And he said to Samuel: “Go and sleep. And if he calls to you from now on, you will say, ‘Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.’” Therefore, Samuel went away, and he slept in his place.

I řekl Elí k Samuelovi: Jdi, spi, a bude-li tě volati, řekneš: Mluv, Hospodine, nebo slyší služebník tvůj. Odšel tedy Samuel, a spal na místě svém.

10 And the Lord came, and stood, and he called, just as he had called the other times, “Samuel, Samuel.” And Samuel said, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.”

I přišel Hospodin, a stál a zavolal, jako i prvé, a řekl: Samueli, Samueli! Odpověděl Samuel: Mluv, nebo slyší služebník tvůj.

11 And the Lord said to Samuel: “Behold, I am accomplishing a word in Israel. Whoever will hear about it, both his ears will ring.

I řekl Hospodin Samuelovi: Aj, já učiním věc takovou v Izraeli, kterouž kdokoli uslyší, zníti jemu bude v obou uších jeho.

12 In that day, I will raise up against Eli all the things that I have spoken over his house. I will begin, and I will finish.

V ten den uvedu na Elí všecko to, což jsem mluvil proti domu jeho; počnuť i dokonám.

13 For I have foretold to him that I will judge his house unto eternity, because of iniquity. For he had known that his sons acted shamefully, and he did not chastise them.

A ukáži jemu, že já soudím dům jeho až na věky pro nepravost, o níž věděl; nebo znaje, že na se zlořečenství uvodí synové jeho, a však nezbránil jim.

14 For this reason, I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of his house will not be expiated, with victims or with gifts, even forever.”

A protož jsem zapřisáhl domu Elí, že nebude vyčištěna nepravost domu Elí žádnou obětí, ani obětí suchou až na věky.

15 Then Samuel slept until morning, and he opened the doors of the house of the Lord. And Samuel was afraid to tell the vision to Eli.

I spal Samuel až do jitra, a otevřel dvéře domu Hospodinova; ostýchal se pak Samuel oznámiti Elí toho vidění.

16 Then Eli called Samuel, and he said, “Samuel, my son?” And responding, he said, “I am here.”

Tedy povolal Elí Samuele a řekl: Samueli, synu můj. Kterýž odpověděl: Teď jsem.

17 And he questioned him: “What is the word that the Lord has spoken to you? I beg you that you may not conceal it from me. May God do these things to you, and may he add these other things, if you hide from me one word out of all the things that were told to you.”

I řekl: Jaká jest to řeč, kterouž mluvil tobě? Netaj medle přede mnou. Toto učiň tobě Bůh a toto přidej, jestliže co zatajíš přede mnou ze všech slov, kteráž mluvil tobě.

18 And so, Samuel revealed to him all the words, and he did not hide them from him. And he responded: “He is the Lord. May he do what is good in his own eyes.”

A tak oznámil jemu Samuel všecka slova, a ničeho nezatajil před ním. A on řekl: Hospodinť jest, nechť učiní, což ráčí.

19 And Samuel grew up, and the Lord was with him, and not one of his words fell to the ground.

Rostl pak Samuel, a Hospodin byl s ním, tak že nedopustil padnouti žádnému slovu jeho na zem.

20 And all of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, knew Samuel to be a faithful prophet of the Lord.

Z čehož poznal všecken Izrael od Dan až do Bersabé, že Samuel jest věrný prorok Hospodinův.

21 And the Lord continued to appear in Shiloh. For the Lord had revealed himself to Samuel at Shiloh, according to the word of the Lord. And the word about Samuel went forth to all of Israel.

Nebo se jemu i potom ukazoval Hospodin v Sílo, jakož se byl prvé zjevil Hospodin Samuelovi v Sílo, skrze řeč Hospodinovu.
