1 Samuel 3
1 And the boy Samuel ministered to Jehovah before Eli. And the word of Jehovah was rare in those days; a vision was not frequent.
A dijete Samuilo služaše Gospodu pred Ilijem; i rijeè Gospodnja bješe rijetka u ono vrijeme, i ne javljahu se utvare.
2 And it came to pass at that time, when Eli lay in his place (now his eyes began to grow dim, he could not see),
Jednom u to vrijeme Ilije ležaše na svom mjestu; a oèi mu poèinjahu tamnjeti te ne mogaše vidjeti;
3 and the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel lay in the temple of Jehovah, where the ark of God was,
I Samuilo ležaše u domu Gospodnjem gdje bijaše kovèeg Božji, i žišci Gospodnji još ne bjehu pogašeni.
4 that Jehovah called to Samuel. And he said, Here am I.
I viknu Gospod Samuila, a on reèe: evo me.
5 And he ran to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I did not call: lie down again. And he went and lay down.
I pritrèa k Iliju, i reèe mu: evo me, što si me zvao? A on reèe: nijesam te zvao, idi lezi. I on otide i leže.
6 And Jehovah called again, Samuel! And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I did not call, my son: lie down again.
A Gospod opet viknu Samuila, i Samuilo usta, i otide k Iliju, i reèe: evo me, što si me zvao? A on reèe: nijesam te zvao, sine; idi lezi.
7 Now Samuel did not yet know Jehovah, neither had the word of Jehovah yet been revealed to him.
A Samuilo još ne poznavaše Gospoda, i još mu ne bješe javljena rijeè Gospodnja.
8 And Jehovah called again the third time, Samuel! And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And Eli perceived that Jehovah was calling the boy.
Tada opet viknu Gospod Samuila treæi put, i on usta i otide k Iliju, i reèe: evo me, što si me zvao? Tada razumje Ilije da Gospod zove dijete.
9 And Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie down; and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, Jehovah, for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
I reèe Ilije Samuilu: idi lezi; a ako te zovne, a ti reci: govori Gospode, èuje sluga tvoj. I Samuilo otide, i leže na svoje mjesto.
10 And Jehovah came, and stood, and called as at the other times, Samuel, Samuel! And Samuel said, Speak, for thy servant heareth.
A Gospod doðe i stade; i zovnu kao prije: Samuilo! Samuilo! A Samuilo reèe: govori, èuje sluga tvoj.
11 And Jehovah said to Samuel, Behold, I do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
I reèe Gospod Samuilu: evo uèiniæu nešto u Izrailju da æe zujati oba uha svakome ko èuje.
12 In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house; I will begin and make an end.
U taj dan æu uèiniti Iliju sve što sam govorio za kuæu njegovu, od poèetka do kraja.
13 For I have declared to him that I will judge his house for ever, for the iniquity which he hath known: because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.
Jer sam mu javio da æu suditi domu njegovu dovijeka za nevaljalstvo, za koje je znao da njim navlaèe na se prokletstvo sinovi njegovi, pa im nije zabranio.
14 And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be expiated with sacrifice or oblation for ever.
Zato se zakleh domu Ilijevu da se neæe oèistiti nevaljalstvo doma Ilijeva nikakvom žrtvom ni prinosom dovijeka.
15 And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Jehovah. And Samuel feared to declare the vision to Eli.
I Samuilo spava do jutra, pa otvori vrata doma Gospodnjega. Ali se bojaše Samuilo kazati Iliju za utvaru.
16 And Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he said, Here am I.
A Ilije zovnu Samuila i reèe: Samuilo, sine! A on reèe: evo me.
17 And he said, What is the word that he has spoken to thee? I pray thee, keep it not back from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou keep back anything from me of all the word that he spoke to thee.
A on reèe: kakve su rijeèi što ti je kazao? nemoj zatajiti od mene; tako ti uèinio Bog i tako ti dodao, ako zatajiš od mene što god što ti je kazao.
18 And Samuel told him all the words, and kept nothing back from him. And he said, It is Jehovah: let him do what is good in his sight.
I Samuilo mu kaza sve, i ništa ne zataji od njega. A on reèe: Gospod je, neka èini što mu je volja.
19 And Samuel grew, and Jehovah was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground.
A Samuilo rastijaše, i Gospod bijaše s njim, i ne pusti da padne na zemlju nijedna rijeè njegova.
20 And all Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, knew that Samuel was established a prophet of Jehovah.
I sav Izrailj od Dana do Virsaveje pozna da je Samuilo vjeran prorok Gospodnji.
21 And Jehovah appeared again at Shiloh; for Jehovah revealed himself to Samuel at Shiloh by the word of Jehovah.
I Gospod se stade opet javljati u Silomu, jer se Gospod javljaše Samuilu u Silomu rijeèju Gospodnjom.
