1 Samuel 3

1 And the lad Samuel [was] serving Yahweh before Eli and [the] word of Yahweh it was rare in the days those not vision [was] spread out.

And the youth Samuel is serving YHWH before Eli, and the word of YHWH has been precious in those days—there is no vision breaking forth.

2 And it was on the day that and Eli [was] lying in place his (and eyes his *Q(K)*) they began dim not he was able to see.

And it comes to pass, at that time, that Eli is lying down in his place, and his eyes have begun [to be] faded—he is not able to see.

3 And [the] lamp of God not yet it was extinguished and Samuel [was] lying in [the] temple of Yahweh where [was] there [the] ark of God.

And the lamp of God is not yet extinguished, and Samuel is lying down in the temple of YHWH, where the Ark of God [is],

4 And he called Yahweh to Samuel and he said here [am] I.

and YHWH calls to Samuel, and he says, “Here I [am].”

5 And he ran to Eli and he said here [am] I for you summoned me and he said not I summoned return lie down and he went and he lay down.

And he runs to Eli and says, “Here I [am], for you have called for me”; and he says, “I did not call; turn back, lie down”; and he goes and lies down.

6 And he repeated Yahweh to call again Samuel and he rose Samuel and he went to Eli and he said here [am] I for you summoned me and he said not I summoned O son my return lie down.

And YHWH adds to call Samuel again, and Samuel rises and goes to Eli, and says, “Here I [am], for you have called for me”; and he says, “I have not called, my son, turn back, lie down.”

7 And Samuel not yet he knew Yahweh and not yet it was revealed to him [the] word of Yahweh.

And Samuel has not yet known YHWH, and the word of YHWH is not yet revealed to him.

8 And he repeated Yahweh to call Samuel at the third [time] and he rose and he went to Eli and he said here [am] I for you summoned me and he understood Eli that Yahweh [was] summoning the lad.

And YHWH adds to call Samuel the third time, and he rises and goes to Eli, and says, “Here I [am], for you have called for me”; and Eli understands that YHWH is calling to the youth.

9 And he said Eli to Samuel go lie down and it will be that [if] he will call to you and you will say speak O Yahweh for [is] listening servant your and he went Samuel and he lay down in place his.

And Eli says to Samuel, “Go, lie down, and it has been, if He calls to you, that you have said, Speak, YHWH, for Your servant is hearing”; and Samuel goes and lies down in his place.

10 And he came Yahweh and he stood and he called as time on time O Samuel - O Samuel and he said Samuel speak for [is] listening servant your.

And YHWH comes, and stations Himself, and calls as time by time, “Samuel, Samuel”; and Samuel says, “Speak, for Your servant is hearing.”

11 And he said Yahweh to Samuel here! I [am] about to do a thing in Israel which every [one who] hears it they will tingle [the] two ears his.

And YHWH says to Samuel, “Behold, I am doing a thing in Israel, at which the two ears of everyone hearing it tingle.

12 On the day that I will carry out against Eli all that I have spoken against house his beginning and ending.

In that day I establish to Eli all that I have spoken to his house, beginning and completing;

13 And I tell to him that [am] about to judge I house his until perpetuity for [the] iniquity which he knew that [were] bringing a curse to themselves sons his and not he rebuked them.

and I have declared to him that I am judging his house for all time, for the iniquity which he has known, for his sons are making themselves vile, and he has not restrained them,

14 And therefore I swear to [the] house of Eli if it will be atoned for [the] iniquity of [the] house of Eli by sacrifice and by an offering until perpetuity.

and therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli: the iniquity of the house of Eli is not atoned for, by sacrifice, and by offering—for all time.”

15 And he lay Samuel until the morning and he opened [the] doors of [the] house of Yahweh and Samuel he was afraid from telling the vision to Eli.

And Samuel lies until the morning, and opens the doors of the house of YHWH, and Samuel is afraid of declaring the vision to Eli.

16 And he called Eli Samuel and he said O Samuel son my and he said here [am] I.

And Eli calls Samuel and says, “Samuel, my son”; and he says, “Here I [am].”

17 And he said what? [was] the word which he spoke to you may not please you hide [it] from me thus may he do to you God and thus may he add if you will hide from me a word from all the word which he spoke to you.

And he says, “What [is] the word which He has spoken to you? Please do not hide it from me; so God does to you, and so does He add, if you hide from me a word of all the words that He has spoken to you.”

18 And he told to him Samuel all the words and not he hid [them] from him and he said [is] Yahweh he the good (in eyes his *Q(K)*) let him do.

And Samuel declares to him the whole of the words, and has not hid from him; and he says, “It [is] YHWH; that which is good in His eyes He does.”

19 And he grew up Samuel and Yahweh he was with him and not he made fall any of all words his [the] ground towards.

And Samuel grows up, and YHWH has been with him, and has not let any of his words fall to the earth;

20 And it knew all Israel from Dan and to Beer Sheba that [was being] established Samuel to a prophet of Yahweh.

and all Israel knows, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba, that Samuel is established for a prophet to YHWH.

21 And he repeated Yahweh to appear at Shiloh for he revealed himself Yahweh to Samuel at Shiloh by [the] word of Yahweh.

And YHWH adds to appear in Shiloh, for YHWH has been revealed to Samuel, in Shiloh, by the word of YHWH.
