Первая книга Царств 3

1 И отрочищь Самуил бе служа Господеви пред Илием иереем, и глаголгол Господень бе честен в тыя дни, не бе видение посылаемо.

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.

2 И бысть в день он, и Илий спаше на месте своем, и очи его начаста тяжце быти, и не можаше зрети:

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;

3 и прежде неже угасе светилник Божий, и Самуил спаше в церкви Господни, идеже кивот Божий,

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;

4 и воззва Господь: Самуиле, Самуиле. И рече: се, аз.

That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.

5 И тече ко Илию и рече: се, аз, яко звал мя еси. И рече (Илий): не звах тебе, возвратися и спи. И возвратися и спа.

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.

6 И приложи Господь и воззва еще: Самуиле, Самуиле. И воста Самуил и иде ко Илию вторицею, и рече: се, аз, яко звал мя еси. И рече: не звах тебе, чадо мое, возвратися, спи.

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.

7 Самуил же в то время еще не познаваше Бога, прежде откровения ему гласа Господня.

Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed to him.

8 И приложи Господь призвати Самуила третицею: и востав, и иде ко Илию и рече: се, аз, яко звал мя еси. И разуме Илий, яко Господь призывает отрочища, и рече: возвратися и спи, чадо:

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.

9 и будет аще воззовет тя Зовый, и речеши: глаголи, Господи, яко слышит раб Твой. И иде Самуил, и спа на месте своем.

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.

10 И прииде Господь и ста и воззва его якоже первое и второе: Самуиле, Самуиле. И рече Самуил: глаголи (Господи), яко слышит раб Твой.

And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.

11 И рече Господь к Самуилу: се, Аз творю глаголголы Моя во Израили, яко всякому слышащему сия пошумит во обоих ушесех его:

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 в день той воздвигну на Илиа вся, елика глаголах на дом его: начну и скончаю:

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.

13 и возвестих ему, яко отмщу Аз на доме его до века в неправдах сынов его, о нихже ведяше, яко злословиста Бога сынове его, и не наказа их:

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.

14 и сего ради кляхся дому Илиину, яко не очистится неправда дому Илиина в кадилах и жертвах его до века.

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.

15 И спа Самуил до утра, и утренева заутра, и отверзе двери храма Господня. Самуил же убояся поведати видения Илию.

And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to tell Eli the vision.

16 И рече Илий к Самуилу: Самуиле чадо. И рече: се, аз.

Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I.

17 И рече (Илий): что глаголгол глаголголанный к тебе? Не скрый убо от мене: сия да сотворит тебе Бог и сия да приложит, аще утаиши от мене слово от всех словес глаголголанных к тебе во ушеса твоя.

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.

18 И поведа Самуил Илию вся словеса, и не утаи от него (ни единаго глаголгола). И рече Илий: Господь Сам, еже благо пред Ним, да сотворит.

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.

19 И возвеличен бысть Самуил, и Господь бе с ним, и не паде от всех словес его на земли (ни един глагол).

And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground.

20 И разумеша вси Израилтяне от Дана даже и до Вирсавии, яко верен Самуил Господу во пророцех.

And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.

21 И приложи Господь явитися в Силоме, яви бо Ся Господь Самуилу: и уверися Самуил пророк быти Господеви во всем Израили, от конца до конца земли. Илий же состареся зело, и сынове его ходяще хождаху, и лукав путь их пред Господем.

And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.
