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.
The child Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli. The LORD’s word was rare in those days. There were not many visions, then.
2 И бысть в день он, и Илий спаше на месте своем, и очи его начаста тяжце быти, и не можаше зрети:
At that time, when Eli was laid down in his place (now his eyes had begun to grow dim, so that he could not see),
3 и прежде неже угасе светилник Божий, и Самуил спаше в церкви Господни, идеже кивот Божий,
and God’s lamp hadn’t yet gone out, and Samuel had laid down in the LORD’s temple where God’s ark was,
4 и воззва Господь: Самуиле, Самуиле. И рече: се, аз.
The LORD called Samuel. He said, “Here I am.”
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.
He ran to Eli and said, “Here I am; for you called me.” He said, “I didn’t call. Lie down again.” 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.
The LORD called yet again, “Samuel!” Samuel arose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; for you called me.” He answered, “I didn’t call, my son. Lie down again.”
7 Самуил же в то время еще не познаваше Бога, прежде откровения ему гласа Господня.
Now Samuel didn’t yet know the LORD, neither was the LORD’s word 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:
The LORD called Samuel again the third time. He arose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; for you called me.” 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. It shall be, if he calls you, that you shall say, ‘Speak, LORD; for your servant hears.’” 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.
The LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel said, “Speak; for your servant hears.”
11 И рече Господь к Самуилу: се, Аз творю глаголголы Моя во Израили, яко всякому слышащему сия пошумит во обоих ушесех его:
The LORD said to Samuel, “Behold, I will do a thing in Israel at which both the ears of everyone who hears it will 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 that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even to the 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 forever for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons brought a curse on themselves, and he didn’t restrain them.
14 и сего ради кляхся дому Илиину, яко не очистится неправда дому Илиина в кадилах и жертвах его до века.
Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be removed with sacrifice or offering forever.”
15 И спа Самуил до утра, и утренева заутра, и отверзе двери храма Господня. Самуил же убояся поведати видения Илию.
Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the LORD’s house. Samuel was afraid to show Eli the vision.
16 И рече Илий к Самуилу: Самуиле чадо. И рече: се, аз.
Then Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son!” He said, “Here I am.”
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.
He said, “What is the thing that he has spoken to you? Please don’t hide it from me. God do so to you, and more also, if you hide anything from me of all the things that he spoke to you.”
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.
Samuel told him every bit, and hid nothing from him. He said, “It is the LORD. Let him do what seems good to him.”
19 И возвеличен бысть Самуил, и Господь бе с ним, и не паде от всех словес его на земли (ни един глагол).
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.
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.
The LORD appeared again in Shiloh; for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the LORD’s word.
