< 1 Samuel 3 >

1 And the child Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was rare in those days; there was no frequent vision.
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 was lying down in his place, and his eyes began to grow dim, that he could not see;
Jednom u to vrijeme Ilije ležaše na svom mjestu; a oèi mu poèinjahu tamnjeti te ne mogaše vidjeti;
3 And before the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was lying down to sleep;
I Samuilo ležaše u domu Gospodnjem gdje bijaše kovèeg Božji, i žišci Gospodnji još ne bjehu pogašeni.
4 That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, 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 didst call me. And he said, I called not; 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 the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, 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 the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed to him.
A Samuilo još ne poznavaše Gospoda, i još mu ne bješe javljena rijeè Gospodnja.
8 And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.
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 Therefore Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he should call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; 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 the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, 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 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.
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 things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end.
U taj dan æu uèiniti Iliju sve što sam govorio za kuæu njegovu, od poèetka do kraja.
13 For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; 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 to the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering 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 the LORD. And Samuel feared to tell Eli the vision.
I Samuilo spava do jutra, pa otvori vrata doma Gospodnjega. Ali se bojaše Samuilo kazati Iliju za utvaru.
16 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I.
A Ilije zovnu Samuila i reèe: Samuilo, sine! A on reèe: evo me.
17 And he said, What is the thing that the LORD hath said to thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou shalt hide any thing from me of all the things that he said 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 every thing, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is the LORD: let him do what seemeth him good.
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 the LORD 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 Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.
I sav Izrailj od Dana do Virsaveje pozna da je Samuilo vjeran prorok Gospodnji.
21 And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.
I Gospod se stade opet javljati u Silomu, jer se Gospod javljaše Samuilu u Silomu rijeèju Gospodnjom.
