1 Samuel 3
1 [While he was still a] boy, Samuel was working for Yahweh while Eli supervised him. At that time there were very few messages [that anyone received] from Yahweh, and very few people saw visions [that Yahweh gave them].
И отрочищь Самуил бе служа Господеви пред Илием иереем, и глаголгол Господень бе честен в тыя дни, не бе видение посылаемо.
2 By that time Eli’s eyes were very weak; he was almost blind. [One night] he was sleeping in his room,
И бысть в день он, и Илий спаше на месте своем, и очи его начаста тяжце быти, и не можаше зрети:
3 and Samuel was sleeping in the sacred tent, where the chest that contained the Ten Commandments was kept. While the sacred lamp was still burning,
и прежде неже угасе светилник Божий, и Самуил спаше в церкви Господни, идеже кивот Божий,
4 Yahweh called, “Samuel! Samuel!” Samuel replied, “I’m here!”
и воззва Господь: Самуиле, Самуиле. И рече: се, аз.
5 Then he [got up and] ran to Eli. He said to him, “I am here, because you called me!” But Eli replied, “No, I did not call you. Go back to your bed.” So Samuel went and lay down again.
И тече ко Илию и рече: се, аз, яко звал мя еси. И рече (Илий): не звах тебе, возвратися и спи. И возвратися и спа.
6 Then Yahweh called again, “Samuel!” So Samuel got up again and went to Eli and said, “I am here, because you called me!” But Eli said, “No, my son, I did not call you. Go back and lie down.”
И приложи Господь и воззва еще: Самуиле, Самуиле. И воста Самуил и иде ко Илию вторицею, и рече: се, аз, яко звал мя еси. И рече: не звах тебе, чадо мое, возвратися, спи.
7 At that time Samuel did not yet know [that] Yahweh [could speak to him], because Yahweh had not previously revealed anything to him.
Самуил же в то время еще не познаваше Бога, прежде откровения ему гласа Господня.
8 [After Samuel lay down again], Yahweh called him a third time. So again Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “I am here, because you called me!” Then Eli realized that it was Yahweh who was calling the boy.
И приложи Господь призвати Самуила третицею: и востав, и иде ко Илию и рече: се, аз, яко звал мя еси. И разуме Илий, яко Господь призывает отрочища, и рече: возвратися и спи, чадо:
9 So he said to Samuel, “Go and lie down again. If someone calls you again, say ‘Speak to me, Yahweh, because I am listening!’” So Samuel went and lay down again.
и будет аще воззовет тя Зовый, и речеши: глаголи, Господи, яко слышит раб Твой. И иде Самуил, и спа на месте своем.
10 Then Yahweh came and stood there and called as he had done the other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel said, “Speak to me, because I am listening!”
И прииде Господь и ста и воззва его якоже первое и второе: Самуиле, Самуиле. И рече Самуил: глаголи (Господи), яко слышит раб Твой.
11 Then Yahweh said to Samuel, “Listen carefully. I am about to do something here in Israel that will shock/horrify [IDM] everyone who hears about it.
И рече Господь к Самуилу: се, Аз творю глаголголы Моя во Израили, яко всякому слышащему сия пошумит во обоих ушесех его:
12 When that happens, I will punish Eli and his family. I will do to them everything that I said that I would do.
в день той воздвигну на Илиа вся, елика глаголах на дом его: начну и скончаю:
13 His sons have shown great disrespect for me by the disgraceful things they have done, and Eli did not restrain them. So I told him that I would punish his family forever.
и возвестих ему, яко отмщу Аз на доме его до века в неправдах сынов его, о нихже ведяше, яко злословиста Бога сынове его, и не наказа их:
14 I solemnly promised to Eli’s family, ‘You will never be able to avoid the consequences for your sin, even if you give me sacrifices or offerings.’”
и сего ради кляхся дому Илиину, яко не очистится неправда дому Илиина в кадилах и жертвах его до века.
15 Samuel lay down again until morning. Then he got up and opened the doors of the Sacred Tent [as usual]. He was afraid to tell Eli about the vision [that Yahweh had given him].
И спа Самуил до утра, и утренева заутра, и отверзе двери храма Господня. Самуил же убояся поведати видения Илию.
16 But Eli called him and said, “Samuel, my son!” Samuel answered, “I am here!”
И рече Илий к Самуилу: Самуиле чадо. И рече: се, аз.
17 Eli asked him, “What was it that Yahweh told you? Do not conceal it! I want God to punish you severely if you do not tell me everything that he said to you.”
И рече (Илий): что глаголгол глаголголанный к тебе? Не скрый убо от мене: сия да сотворит тебе Бог и сия да приложит, аще утаиши от мене слово от всех словес глаголголанных к тебе во ушеса твоя.
18 So Samuel told him everything. He did not refuse to tell him anything. Then Eli said, “He is Yahweh. I am willing for him to do what he thinks is best.”
И поведа Самуил Илию вся словеса, и не утаи от него (ни единаго глаголгола). И рече Илий: Господь Сам, еже благо пред Ним, да сотворит.
19 As Samuel grew up, Yahweh helped him, and caused everything to (come true/happen) that Samuel predicted.
И возвеличен бысть Самуил, и Господь бе с ним, и не паде от всех словес его на земли (ни един глагол).
20 So all the people of Israel, from the northern end of the country to the southern end, realized that Samuel was truly a prophet of Yahweh.
И разумеша вси Израилтяне от Дана даже и до Вирсавии, яко верен Самуил Господу во пророцех.
21 Yahweh continued to appear to Samuel in Shiloh and give messages to him.
И приложи Господь явитися в Силоме, яви бо Ся Господь Самуилу: и уверися Самуил пророк быти Господеви во всем Израили, от конца до конца земли. Илий же состареся зело, и сынове его ходяще хождаху, и лукав путь их пред Господем.
