1 Samuelova 3
1 A dijete Samuilo služaše Gospodu pred Ilijem; i rijeè Gospodnja bješe rijetka u ono vrijeme, i ne javljahu se utvare.
Now, the boy Samuel, was ministering unto Yahweh, before Eli, —and, the word of Yahweh, had become rare in those days, there was no well-known vision.
2 Jednom u to vrijeme Ilije ležaše na svom mjestu; a oèi mu poèinjahu tamnjeti te ne mogaše vidjeti;
But it came to pass, at that time, when Eli was lying down in his place, his eyes, having begun to be dim, he could not see,
3 I Samuilo ležaše u domu Gospodnjem gdje bijaše kovèeg Božji, i žišci Gospodnji još ne bjehu pogašeni.
though, the lamp of God, was not yet to be put out, and, Samuel, was lying down in the temple of Yahweh, where was the ark of God,
4 I viknu Gospod Samuila, a on reèe: evo me.
that Yahweh called unto Samuel, and he said—Behold me!
5 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.
So he ran unto Eli and said—Behold me! for thou calledst me. And he said—I called not, return—Its down. So he went, and lie down.
6 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.
And again Yahweh called once there—Samuel! Then rose Samuel, and went unto Eli, and said—Behold me! for thou calledst me. And he said—I called not, my son, return—lie down.
7 A Samuilo još ne poznavaše Gospoda, i još mu ne bješe javljena rijeè Gospodnja.
Now, Samuel, as yet knew not Yahweh, —nor, as yet, had been revealed unto him, the word of Yahweh.
8 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.
And again Yahweh called—Samuel! a third time. Then he arose, and went unto Eli, and said—Behold me! for thou calledst me. Then did Eli perceive, that, Yahweh, was calling the boy.
9 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.
So Eli said to Samuel—Go, lie down, and it shall be, if he call unto thee, that thou shalt say—Speak, Yahweh, for thy servant is listening. And Samuel went, and lay down in his place.
10 A Gospod doðe i stade; i zovnu kao prije: Samuilo! Samuilo! A Samuilo reèe: govori, èuje sluga tvoj.
Then came Yahweh, and stood, and called as time after time—Samuel! Samuel! And Samuel said, Speak, for thy servant is listening.
11 I reèe Gospod Samuilu: evo uèiniæu nešto u Izrailju da æe zujati oba uha svakome ko èuje.
And Yahweh said unto Samuel, Lo! I am doing a thing, in Israel, —at which both ears of everyone that heareth it shall tingle.
12 U taj dan æu uèiniti Iliju sve što sam govorio za kuæu njegovu, od poèetka do kraja.
In that day, will I confirm against Eli, all that I have spoken against his house, —beginning and finishing.
13 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.
Therefore do I tell him, that I am about to judge his house unto times age-abiding, for the iniquity which he knoweth, in that his sons are cursing God, and he hath not rebuked them.
14 Zato se zakleh domu Ilijevu da se neæe oèistiti nevaljalstvo doma Ilijeva nikakvom žrtvom ni prinosom dovijeka.
And therefore have I sworn, respecting the house of Eli, —that the iniquity of the house of Eli shall receive no propitiatory-covering, by sacrifice or by present, unto times age-abiding.
15 I Samuilo spava do jutra, pa otvori vrata doma Gospodnjega. Ali se bojaše Samuilo kazati Iliju za utvaru.
And Samuel lay until the morning, and rose early in the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Yahweh, —but, Samuel, feared to tell the appearing, unto Eli.
16 A Ilije zovnu Samuila i reèe: Samuilo, sine! A on reèe: evo me.
So Eli called Samuel, and said—Samuel! my son. And he said—Behold me!
17 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.
And he said—What is the word, which he spake unto thee? I pray thee, do not hide it from me. So, let God do to thee, and, so, let him add, if thou hide from me a word, out of anything which he hath spoken unto thee.
18 I Samuilo mu kaza sve, i ništa ne zataji od njega. A on reèe: Gospod je, neka èini što mu je volja.
So Samuel told him all the words, and hid nothing from him. And he said, Yahweh, he is; what is good in his own eyes, let him do.
19 A Samuilo rastijaše, i Gospod bijaše s njim, i ne pusti da padne na zemlju nijedna rijeè njegova.
And Samuel grew, —and, Yahweh, proved to he with him, and let none of all his words fall to the ground.
20 I sav Izrailj od Dana do Virsaveje pozna da je Samuilo vjeran prorok Gospodnji.
So all Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, came to know, —that Samuel had become confirmed as a prophet unto Yahweh.
21 I Gospod se stade opet javljati u Silomu, jer se Gospod javljaše Samuilu u Silomu rijeèju Gospodnjom.
Thus did Yahweh again appear in Shiloh, —for Yahweh had revealed himself unto Samuel in Shiloh, in the word of Yahweh.
