1 Samuel 3

1 Otrok Samuel pa je pred Élijem služil Gospodu. V tistih dneh je bila Gospodova beseda dragocena; ni bilo odprtega videnja.

And the child Samuel ministered unto Yhwh before Eli. And the word of Yhwh was precious in those days; there was no open vision.

2 Pripetilo se je ob tistem času, ko se je Éli ulegel na svojem mestu in so njegove oči začenjale temneti, da ni mogel videti.

And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see;

3 Preden se je ugasnila Božja svetilka v Gospodovem templju, kjer je bila Božja skrinja in se je Samuel ulegel k spanju,

And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of Yhwh, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep;

4 je Gospod poklical Samuela in ta je odgovoril: »Tukaj sem.«

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

5 Stekel je k Éliju in rekel: »Tukaj sem, kajti klical si me.« Ta pa je rekel: »Nisem klical, ponovno se ulezi.« In odšel je in se ulegel.

And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down.

6 Gospod je ponovno poklical: »Samuel.« Samuel je vstal in odšel k Éliju ter rekel: »Tukaj sem, kajti klical si me.« Ta je odgovoril: »Nisem klical, moj sin, ponovno se ulezi.«

And Yhwh 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 Torej Samuel še ni poznal Gospoda niti mu Gospodova beseda še ni bila razodeta.

Now Samuel did not yet know Yhwh, neither was the word of Yhwh yet revealed unto him.

8 Gospod je ponovno, tretjič, poklical Samuela. Ta je vstal, šel k Éliju in rekel: »Tukaj sem, kajti klical si me.« In Éli je zaznal, da je otroka klical Gospod.

And Yhwh 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 Yhwh had called the child.

9 Zato je Éli rekel Samuelu: »Pojdi, ulezi se in zgodilo se bo, če te pokliče, da boš rekel: ›Govori, Gospod, kajti tvoj služabnik posluša.‹« Tako je Samuel odšel in se ulegel na svojem mestu.

Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, Yhwh; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

10 Gospod je prišel in obstal ter poklical kakor ob drugih časih: »Samuel, Samuel.« Potem je Samuel odgovoril: »Govori; kajti tvoj služabnik posluša.«

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

11 Gospod je rekel Samuelu: »Glej, storil bom stvar v Izraelu, ob kateri bo v obeh ušesih vsakega, ki to sliši, zvenelo.

And Yhwh 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 Na tisti dan bom zoper Élija izpolnil vse stvari, ki sem jih govoril glede njegove hiše. Ko pričnem, bom naredil tudi konec.

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 Kajti povedal sem mu, da bom na veke sodil njegovo hišo zaradi krivičnosti, ki jo on vé, ker sta se njegova sinova naredila nizkotna, on pa jima ni preprečil.

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 Zato sem prisegel Élijevi hiši, da krivičnost Élijeve hiše na veke ne bo očiščena niti s klavno daritvijo niti z darovanjem.«

And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever.

15 Samuel je ležal do jutra in odprl vrata Gospodove hiše. Samuel pa se je Éliju bal razodeti videnje.

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

16 Potem je Éli poklical Samuela in rekel: »Samuel, moj sin.« Ta je odgovoril: »Tukaj sem.«

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

17 Rekel je: »Kaj je stvar, ki ti jo je Gospod povedal? Prosim te, da mi je ne prikriješ. Bog naj ti tako stori in tudi več, če pred menoj skriješ katerokoli stvar od vseh stvari, ki ti jih je povedal.«

And he said, What is the thing that the Lord hath said unto thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide any thing from me of all the things that he said unto thee.

18 Samuel mu je povedal vsak delček in ničesar ni skril pred njim. On pa je rekel: »To je Gospod. Naj stori, kar se mu zdi dobro.«

And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is Yhwh: let him do what seemeth him good.

19 Samuel je rasel in Gospod je bil z njim in nobene izmed njegovih besed ni pustil pasti na tla.

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

20 Ves Izrael, od Dana, celo do Beeršébe, je vedel, da je bil Samuel utrjen, da bi bil Gospodov prerok.

And all Israel from Dan even to Beer–sheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of Yhwh.

21 Gospod se je ponovno prikazoval v Šilu, kajti Gospod se je v Šilu razodeval Samuelu po Gospodovi besedi.

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