1 Samuel 3
1 E o jovem Samuel ministrava ao SENHOR diante de Eli; e a palavra do SENHOR era rara naqueles dias; não havia visão manifesta.
And the lad Samuel was ministering unto the Lord before 'Eli. And the word of the Lord was scarce in those days: prophecy was not extended.
2 E aconteceu um dia, que estando Eli deitado em seu aposento, quando seus olhos começavam a escurecer-se, que não podia ver,
And it came to pass one day, when 'Eli was lying down in his place, and his eyes had begun to grow dim, he could not see;
3 Samuel estava dormindo no templo do SENHOR, de onde a arca de Deus estava: e antes que a lâmpada de Deus fosse apagada,
And the lamp of God had not yet gone out, while Samuel was lying down in [the hall of] the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was;
4 o SENHOR chamou a Samuel; e ele respondeu: Eis-me aqui.
That the Lord called Samuel: and he said, Here am I.
5 E correndo logo a Eli, disse: Eis-me aqui; para que me chamaste? E Eli lhe disse: Eu não chamei; volta-te a deitar. E ele se voltou, e deitou-se.
And he ran unto 'Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he said, I did not call: lie down again. And he went and lay down.
6 E o SENHOR voltou a chamar outra vez a Samuel. E levantando-se Samuel veio a Eli, e disse: Eis-me aqui; para que me chamaste? E ele disse: Filho meu, eu não chamei; volta, e deita-te.
And the Lord continued to call again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to 'Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I did not call, my son: lie down again.
7 E Samuel não havia conhecido ainda ao SENHOR, nem a palavra do SENHOR lhe havia sido revelada.
And Samuel knew not yet the Lord, nor had the word of the Lord been as yet revealed unto him.
8 O SENHOR, então, chamou pela terceira vez a Samuel. E ele levantando-se veio a Eli, e disse: Eis-me aqui; para que me chamaste? Então entendeu Eli que o SENHOR chamava ao jovem.
And the Lord continued to call, Samuel, the third time; and he arose and went to 'Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And 'Eli then perceived that the Lord was calling the lad.
9 E disse Eli a Samuel: Vai, e deita-te: e se te chamar, dirás: Fala, SENHOR, que teu servo ouve. Assim se foi Samuel, e deitou-se em seu lugar.
And 'Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down; and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, Lord; for thy servant heareth. And Samuel went and lay down in his place.
10 E veio o SENHOR, e ficou ali, e chamou como das outras vezes: Samuel, Samuel! Então Samuel disse: Fala, que o teu servo está ouvindo.
And the Lord came, and placed himself, and called as at previous times, Samuel, Samuel. And Samuel said, Speak; for thy servant heareth.
11 E o SENHOR disse a Samuel: Eis que farei eu uma coisa em Israel, que a quem a ouvir, lhe retinirão ambos ouvidos.
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.
12 Aquele dia eu despertarei contra Eli todas as coisas que disse sobre sua casa. Em começando, acabarei também.
On that day will I fulfill on 'Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house: I will begin and finish.
13 E lhe mostrarei que eu julgarei sua casa para sempre, pela iniquidade que ele sabe; porque seus filhos se corromperam, e ele não os repreendeu.
And I tell him that I will judge his house for ever; for the iniquity that he knew that his sons were drawing a curse on themselves, and he restrained them not.
14 E portanto eu jurei à casa de Eli, que a iniquidade da casa de Eli não será expiada jamais, nem com sacrifícios nem com ofertas.
And therefore have I sworn unto the house of 'Eli, that the iniquity of 'Eli's house shall not be atoned for with sacrifice or meat-offering for ever.
15 E Samuel esteve deitado até a manhã, e abriu as portas da casa do SENHOR. E Samuel temia revelar a visão a Eli.
And Samuel lay until the morning, when he opened the doors of the house of the Lord; and Samuel feared to tell the vision unto 'Eli.
16 Chamando, pois, Eli a Samuel, disse-lhe: Filho meu, Samuel. E ele respondeu: Eis-me aqui.
But 'Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he said, Here am I.
17 E disse: Que é a palavra que te falou o SENHOR? Rogo-te que não a encubras a mim; assim te faça Deus e assim te acrescente, se me encobrires palavra de tudo o que falou contigo.
And he said, What is the word which he hath spoken unto thee? do not, I pray thee, conceal it from me: may God do to thee thus, and continue to do so, if thou conceal any thing from me of all the word that he hath spoken unto thee.
18 E Samuel se o manifestou tudo, sem encobrir-lhe nada. Então ele disse: o SENHOR é; faça o que bem lhe parecer.
And Samuel told him all the words, and concealed nothing from him. And he said, He is the Lord: let him do what seemeth good in his eyes.
19 E Samuel cresceu, e o SENHOR foi com ele, e não deixou cair por terra nenhuma de suas palavras.
And Samuel grew up, and the Lord was with him, and he did not let fall any one of all his words to the ground.
20 E conheceu todo Israel desde Dã até Berseba, que Samuel era fiel profeta do SENHOR.
And thus knew all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba' that Samuel was accredited as a prophet of the Lord.
21 Assim voltou o SENHOR a aparecer em Siló: porque o SENHOR se manifestou a Samuel em Siló com palavra do SENHOR.
And the Lord continued to appear in Shiloh; for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the Lord.
