1 Samuel 3
1 And the lad Samuel was ministering unto the Lord before 'Eli. And the word of the Lord was scarce in those days: prophecy was not extended.
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 one day, when 'Eli was lying down in his place, and his eyes had begun to grow dim, he 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 had not yet gone out, while Samuel was lying down in [the hall of] the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was;
И Самуило лежаше у дому Господњем где беше ковчег Божји, и жишци Господњи још не беху погашени.
4 That the Lord called Samuel: and he said, Here am I.
И викну Господ Самуила, а он рече: Ево ме.
5 And he ran unto 'Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he said, I did not call: lie down again. And 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 And the Lord continued to call again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to 'Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I did not call, my son: lie down again.
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 Samuel knew not yet the Lord, nor had the word of the Lord been as yet revealed unto him.
А Самуило још не познаваше Господа, и још му не беше јављена реч Господња.
8 And the Lord continued to call, Samuel, the third time; and he arose and went to 'Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And 'Eli then perceived that the Lord was calling the lad.
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 'Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down; and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, Lord; for thy servant heareth. 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 placed himself, and called as at previous times, Samuel, Samuel. And Samuel said, Speak; for thy servant heareth.
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 will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
И рече Господ Самуилу: Ево учинићу нешто у Израиљу да ће зујати оба уха свакоме ко чује.
12 On that day will I fulfill on 'Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house: I will begin and finish.
У тај дан ћу учинити Илију све што сам говорио за кућу његову, од почетка до краја.
13 And I tell him that I will judge his house for ever; for the iniquity that he knew that his sons were drawing a curse on themselves, and he restrained them not.
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 therefore have I sworn unto the house of 'Eli, that the iniquity of 'Eli's house shall not be atoned for with sacrifice or meat-offering for ever.
Зато се заклех дому Илијевом да се неће очистити неваљалство дома Илијевог никаквом жртвом ни приносом довека.
15 And Samuel lay until the morning, when he opened the doors of the house of the Lord; and Samuel feared to tell the vision unto 'Eli.
И Самуило спава до јутра, па отвори врата дома Господњег. Али се бојаше Самуило казати Илију за утвару.
16 But 'Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he said, Here am I.
А Илије зовну Самуила и рече: Самуило, сине! А он рече: Ево ме.
17 And he said, What is the word which he hath spoken unto thee? do not, I pray thee, conceal it from me: may God do to thee thus, and continue to do so, if thou conceal any thing from me of all the word that he hath spoken unto thee.
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 told him all the words, and concealed nothing from him. And he said, He is the Lord: let him do what seemeth 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 up, and the Lord was with him, and he did not let fall any one of all 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 thus knew all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba' that Samuel was accredited 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 in Shiloh; for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the Lord.
И Господ се стаде опет јављати у Силому, јер се Господ јављаше Самуилу у Силому речју Господњом.
