1 Samuel 3
1 Forsothe the child Samuel `mynystride to the Lord bifor Heli, and the word of the Lord was preciouse; in tho daies was noon opyn reuelacioun.
童子撒母耳在以利面前事奉耶和华。当那些日子，耶和华的言语稀少，不常有默示。
2 Therfor it was doon in a dai, Heli lay in his bed, and hise iyen dasewiden, and he myyte not se the lanterne of God, bifor that it was quenchid.
一日，以利睡卧在自己的地方；他眼目昏花，看不分明。
3 Forsothe Samuel slepte in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was.
神的灯在 神耶和华殿内约柜那里，还没有熄灭，撒母耳已经睡了。
4 And the Lord clepide Samuel; and he answeride and seide, Lo!
耶和华呼唤撒母耳。撒母耳说：“我在这里！”
5 Y. And he ran to Hely, and seide to hym, Lo! Y; for thou clepidist me. Which Hely seide, Y clepide not thee; turne thou ayen and slepe.
就跑到以利那里，说：“你呼唤我？我在这里。”以利回答说：“我没有呼唤你，你去睡吧。”他就去睡了。
6 And he yede and slepte. And the Lord addide eft to clepe Samuel; and Samuel roos, and yede to Hely, and seide, Lo! Y; for thou clepidist me. And Heli answeride, Y clepide not thee, my sone; turne thou ayen and slepe.
耶和华又呼唤撒母耳。撒母耳起来，到以利那里，说：“你呼唤我？我在这里。”以利回答说：“我的儿，我没有呼唤你，你去睡吧。”
7 Forsothe Samuel knew not yit the Lord, nether the `word of the Lord was shewid to hym.
那时撒母耳还未认识耶和华，也未得耶和华的默示。
8 And the Lord addide, and clepide yit Samuel the thridde tyme; `which Samuel roos and yede to Heli,
耶和华第三次呼唤撒母耳。撒母耳起来，到以利那里，说：“你又呼唤我？我在这里。”以利才明白是耶和华呼唤童子。
9 and seide, Lo! Y; for thou clepidist me. Therfor Heli vndirstood, that the Lord clepide the child; and Heli seide to Samuel, Go and slepe; and if he clepith thee aftirward, thou schalt seie, Speke thou, Lord, for thi seruaunt herith. Therfor Samuel yede and slepte in his place.
因此以利对撒母耳说：“你仍去睡吧；若再呼唤你，你就说：‘耶和华啊，请说，仆人敬听！’”撒母耳就去，仍睡在原处。
10 And the Lord cam, and stood, and clepide as he hadde clepid the secunde tyme, Samuel, Samuel. And Samuel seide, Speke thou, Lord, for thi seruaunt herith.
耶和华又来站着，像前三次呼唤说：“撒母耳啊！撒母耳啊！”撒母耳回答说：“请说，仆人敬听！”
11 And the Lord seide to Samuel, Lo! Y make a word in Israel, which word who euer schal here, bothe hise eeris schulen rynge.
耶和华对撒母耳说：“我在以色列中必行一件事，叫听见的人都必耳鸣。
12 In that dai Y schal reise ayens Heli alle thingis, whiche Y spak on his hows; Y schal bigynne, and Y schal ende.
我指着以利家所说的话，到了时候，我必始终应验在以利身上。
13 For Y biforseide to hym, that Y schulde deme his hows with outen ende for wickidnesse; for he knew, that hise sones diden vnworthili, and he chastiside not hem.
我曾告诉他必永远降罚与他的家，因他知道儿子作孽，自招咒诅，却不禁止他们。
14 Therfor Y swoor to the hows of Heli, that the wickidnesse of his hows schal not be clensid bi sacrifices and yiftis til in to with outen ende.
所以我向以利家起誓说：‘以利家的罪孽，虽献祭奉礼物，永不能得赎去。’”
15 Forsothe Samuel slepte til the morewtid, and he openyde the doris of the hows of the Lord; and Samuel dredde to schewe the reuelacioun to Heli.
撒母耳睡到天亮，就开了耶和华的殿门，不敢将默示告诉以利。
16 Therfor Heli clepide Samuel, and seide, Samuel, my sone. And he answeride and seide, Y am redi.
以利呼唤撒母耳说：“我儿撒母耳啊！”撒母耳回答说：“我在这里！”
17 And Heli axide hym, What is the word which the Lord spak to thee? Y preye thee, hide thou not fro me; God do to thee `these thingis, and encreesse these thingis, if thou hidist fro me a word of alle wordis that ben seid to thee.
以利说：“耶和华对你说什么，你不要向我隐瞒；你若将 神对你所说的隐瞒一句，愿他重重地降罚与你。”
18 And Samuel schewide to hym alle the wordis, and `hidde not fro hym. And Heli answeride, He is the Lord; do he that, that is good in hise iyen.
撒母耳就把一切话都告诉了以利，并没有隐瞒。以利说：“这是出于耶和华，愿他凭自己的意旨而行。”
19 Forsothe Samuel encreeside, and the Lord was with hym, and noon of alle hise wordis felde in to erthe.
撒母耳长大了，耶和华与他同在，使他所说的话一句都不落空。
20 And al Israel fro Dan to Bersabee knew, that feithful Samuel was a profete of the Lord.
从但到别是巴所有的以色列人都知道耶和华立撒母耳为先知。
21 And the Lord addide `that he schulde appere in Silo, for the Lord was schewid to Samuel in Silo bi the `word of the Lord; and the word of Samuel cam to al Israel.
耶和华又在示罗显现；因为耶和华将自己的话默示撒母耳，撒母耳就把这话传遍以色列地。
