| [1]And the chylde Samuel ministred vnto the Lorde before Eli, and the worde of the Lord was precious in those dayes, neither was there any open vision |
[1]Now the child Samuel ministered unto the Lord before Eli: and the word of the Lord was precious in those days: for there was no manifest vision. |
| [2]And as at that tyme Eli lay in his place, his eyes began to waxe dymme that he coulde not see |
[2]And at that time, as Eli lay in his place, his eyes began to wax dim that he could not see. |
| [3]And yet the lampe of God went out, Samuel layde hym downe to sleepe in the temple of the Lord, where the arke of God was |
[3]And ere the light of God went out, Samuel slept in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was. |
| [4]And the Lorde called Samuel. And he aunswered, I am here |
[4]Then the Lord called Samuel: and he said, Here I am. |
| [5]And he ran vnto Eli, and sayde: Here am I, for thou calledst me. And he said, I called thee not, go againe and sleepe. And he went, and layde hym downe to sleepe |
[5]And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I, for thou callest me. But he said, I called thee not: go again and sleep. And he went and slept. |
| [6]And the Lorde called once againe, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and sayde: I am here, for thou diddest call me. And he aunswered: I called thee not my sonne, go againe and sleepe |
[6]And the Lord called once again, Samuel. And Samuel arose, and went to Eli, and said, I am here: for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called thee not, my son: go again and sleep. |
| [7]Samuel knewe not yet the Lorde, neither was the worde of the Lorde yet opened vnto hym |
[7]Thus did Samuel, before he knew the Lord, and before the word of the Lord was revealed unto him. |
| [8]And the Lorde went to, and called Samuel the thirde tyme. And he arose and went to Eli, and saide: I am here, for thou hast called me. And Eli perceaued that the Lord had called the childe |
[8]And the Lord called Samuel again the third time: and he arose, and went to Eli, and said, I am here: for thou hast called me. Then Eli perceived that the Lord had called the child. |
| [9]Therefore Eli sayde vnto Samuel: Go and sleepe, and yf he call thee, then say: Speake Lorde, for thy seruaunt heareth thee. So Samuel went, and slept in his place |
[9]Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go and sleep: and if he call thee, then say, Speak Lord, for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went, and slept in his place. |
| [10]And the Lorde came, and stoode and called as before, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel aunswered: Speake, for thy seruaunt heareth |
[10]And the Lord came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak, for thy servant heareth. |
| [11]And the Lorde saide to Samuel: Beholde, I wyll do a thing in Israel, that both the eares of as many as heareth it shall tyngle |
[11]Then the Lord said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, whereof whosoever shall hear, his two ears shall tingle. |
| [12]In that day, I wyll rayse vp against Eli all thynges whiche I haue spoken concernyng his house: when I begyn, I wyll also make an ende |
[12]In that day I will raise up against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end. |
| [13]I haue tolde hym that I wyll iudge his house for euer, for the wickednesse which he knoweth: For whe [the people] cursed his sonnes for ye same [wickednesse] he hath not corrected them |
[13]And I have told him that I will judge his house forever, for the iniquity which he knoweth, because his sons ran into a slander, and he stayed them not. |
| [14]And therfore I haue sworne vnto the house of Eli, that the wickednesse of Elies house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offeryng for euer |
[14]Now therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the wickedness of Eli's house, shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering forever. |
| [15]Samuel slept vntyl the mornyng, and opened the doores of the house of the Lorde: and Samuel feared to shewe Eli the vision |
[15]Afterward Samuel slept until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the Lord, and Samuel feared to show Eli the vision. |
| [16]Then Eli called Samuel, and sayde: Samuel, my sonne. And he aunswered: Here am I |
[16]Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel my son. And he answered, Here I am. |
| [17]He saide: What is that the Lord hath saide vnto thee? I pray thee hyde it not from me: God do so to thee, & more also, if thou hyde any thyng from me of all that he sayde vnto thee |
[17]Then he said, What is it, that the Lord said unto thee? I pray thee, hide it not from me. God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide anything from me, of all that he said unto thee. |
| [18]And Samuel tolde hym euerywhyt, and hyd nothyng from hym. And he saide: It is the Lord, let hym do what seemeth hym good |
[18]So Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. Then he said, It is the Lord: let him do what seemeth him good. |
| [19]And Samuel grewe, and the Lorde was with hym, and left none of his wordes vnperfourmed |
[19]And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground. |
| [20]And all Israel, from Dan to Beerseba, wyst that faythfull Samuel was the Lordes prophete |
[20]And all Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba knew that faithful Samuel was the Lord's prophet. |
| [21]And the Lorde appeared againe in Silo: for the Lorde opened him selfe to Samuel in Silo, through the worde of the Lorde |
[21]And the Lord appeared again in Shiloh: for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by his word. |
