1 Samuel 3
1 The child Samuel served Yahweh under Eli. Yahweh's word was rare in those days; there was no frequent prophetic vision.
童子サムエル、エリのまへにありてヱホバにつかふ當時はヱホバの言まれにして默示あること恒ならざりき
2 At that time, when Eli, whose eyesight had begun to grow dim so that he could not see well, was lying down in his own bed.
偖エリ目漸くくもりて見ることをえず此時其室に寝たり
3 The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down to sleep in the temple of Yahweh, where the ark of God was.
神の燈なほきえずサムエル神の櫃あるヱホバの宮に寝ね
4 Yahweh called to Samuel, who said, “Here I am.”
時にヱホバ、サムエルをよびたまふ彼我此にありといひて
5 Samuel ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” Eli said, “I did not call you; lie down again.” So Samuel went and lay down.
エリの許に趨ゆきいひけるは汝われをよぶ我ここにありエリいひけるは我よばず反りて臥よと乃ちゆきていぬ
6 Yahweh called again, “Samuel.” Again Samuel rose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” Eli answered, “I did not call you, my son; lie down again.”
ヱホバまたかさねてサムエルよとよびたまへばサムエルおきてエリのもとにいたりいひけるは汝われをよぶ我ここにありエリこたへけるは我よばずわが子よ反りていねよ
7 Now Samuel did not yet have any experience of Yahweh, nor had any message from Yahweh ever been revealed to him.
サムエルいまだヱホバをしらずまたヱホバのことばいまだかれにあらはれず
8 Yahweh called Samuel again the third time. Again Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” Then Eli realized that Yahweh had called the boy.
ヱホバ、三たびめに又サムエルをよびたまへばサムエルおきてエリの許にたりいひけるは汝われをよぶ我ここにありとエリ乃ちヱホバの童子をよびたまひしをさとる
9 Then Eli said to Samuel, “Go and lie down again; if he calls you again, you must say, 'Speak, Yahweh, for your servant is listening.'” So Samuel went and lay down in his own place once more.
故にエリ、サムエルにいひけるはゆきて寝よ彼若し汝をよばば僕聽くヱホバ語りたまへといへとサムエルゆきて其室にいねしに
10 Yahweh came and stood; he called as at the other times, “Samuel, Samuel.” Then Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”
ヱホバ來りて立ちまへの如くサムエル、サムエルとよびたまへばサムエル僕きく語りたまへといふ
11 Yahweh said to Samuel, “See, I am about to do something in Israel at which the ears of everyone who hears it will tingle.
ヱホバ、サムエルにいひ賜けるは視よ我イスラエルのうちに一の事をなさんこれをきくものは皆其耳ふたつながら鳴ん
12 On that day I will carry out against Eli everything I have said about his house, from beginning to end.
其日にはわれ嘗てエリの家について言しことを始より終までことごとくエリになすべし
13 I have told him that I am about to judge his house once for all for the sin that he knew about, because his sons brought a curse upon themselves and he did not stop them.
われかつてエリに其惡事のために永くその家をさばかんとしめせりそは其子の詛ふべきことをなすをしりて之をとどめざればなり
14 Because of this I have sworn to the house of Eli that the sins of his house will never be atoned for by sacrifice or offering.”
是故に我エリのいへに誓ひてエリの家の惡は犠牲あるひは禮物をもて永くあがなふ能はずといへり
15 Samuel lay down until morning; then he opened the doors of the house of Yahweh. But Samuel was afraid to tell Eli about the vision.
サムエル朝までいねてヱホバの家の戸を開きしが其異象をエリにしめすことをおそる
16 Then Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son.” Samuel said, “Here I am.”
エリ、サムエルをよびていひけるはわが子サムエルよ答へけるはわれここにあり
17 He said, “What was the word he spoke to you? Please do not hide it from me. May God do so to you, and even more, if you hide anything from me of all the words that he spoke to you.”
エリいひけるは何事を汝につげたまひしや請ふ我にかくすなかれ汝もし其汝に告げたまひしところを一にてもかくすときは神汝にかくなし又かさねてかくなしたまヘ
18 Samuel told him everything; he hid nothing from him. Eli said, “It is Yahweh. Let him do what seems good to him.”
サムエル其事をことごとくしめして彼に隱すことなかりきエリいひけるは是はヱホバなり其よしと見たまふことをなしたまへと
19 Samuel grew up, and Yahweh was with him, and he let none of his prophetic words fall to the ground.
サムエルそだちぬヱホバこれとともにいましてそのことばをして一も地におちざらしめたまふ
20 All Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel was appointed to be a prophet of Yahweh.
ダンよりベエルシバにいたるまでイスラエルの人みなサムエルがヱホバの預言者とさだまれるをしれり
21 Yahweh appeared again in Shiloh, for he revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by his word.
ヱホバふたたびシロにてあらはれたまふヱホバ、シロにおいてヱホバの言によりてサムエルにおのれをしめしたまふなりサムエルの言あまねくイスラエル人におよぶ
