| [1]Puer autem Samuel ministrabat Domino coram Heli, et sermo Domini erat pretiosus in diebus illis, non erat visio manifesta. |
[1]And the child Samuel ministered to the Lord before Heli the priest: and the word of the Lord was precious in those days, there was no distinct vision. |
| [2]Factum est ergo in die quadam, Heli jacebat in loco suo, et oculi ejus caligaverant, nec poterat videre: |
[2]And it came to pass at that time that Heli was sleeping in his place; and his eyes began to fail, and could not see. |
| [3]lucerna Dei antequam extingueretur, Samuel dormiebat in templo Domini, ubi erat arca Dei. |
[3]And the lamp of God was burning before it was trimmed, and Samuel slept in the temple, where was the ark of God. |
| [4]Et vocavit Dominus Samuel. Qui respondens, ait: Ecce ego. |
[4]And the Lord called, Samuel, Samuel; and he said, Behold, here am I. |
| [5]Et cucurrit ad Heli, et dixit: Ecce ego: vocasti enim me. Qui dixit: Non vocavi: revertere, et dormi. Et abiit, et dormivit. |
[5]And he ran to Heli, and said, Here am I, for thou didst call me: and he said, I did not call thee; return, go to sleep; and he returned and went to sleep. |
| [6]Et adjecit Dominus rursum vocare Samuelem. Consurgensque Samuel, abiit ad Heli, et dixit: Ecce ego: quia vocasti me. Qui respondit: Non vocavi te, fili mi: revertere et dormi. |
[6]And the Lord called again, Samuel, Samuel: and he went to Heli the second time, and said, Behold here am I, for thou didst call me: and he said, I called thee not; return, go to sleep. |
| [7]Porro Samuel necdum sciebat Dominum, neque revelatus fuerat ei sermo Domini. |
[7]And it was before Samuel knew the Lord, and before the word of the Lord was revealed to him. |
| [8]Et adjecit Dominus, et vocavit adhuc Samuelem tertio. Qui consurgens abiit ad Heli, |
[8]And the Lord called Samuel again for the third time: and he arose and went to Heli, and said, Behold, I am here, for thou didst call me: and Heli perceived that the Lord had called the child. |
| [9]et ait: Ecce ego: quia vocasti me. Intellexit ergo Heli quia Dominus vocaret puerum: et ait ad Samuelem: Vade, et dormi: et si deinceps vocaverit te, dices: Loquere, Domine, quia audit servus tuus. Abiit ergo Samuel, et dormivit in loco suo. |
[9]And he said, Return, child, go to sleep; and it shall come to pass if he shall call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak for thy servant hears: and Samuel went and lay down in his place. |
| [10]Et venit Dominus, et stetit: et vocavit, sicut vocaverat secundo: Samuel, Samuel. Et ait Samuel: Loquere, Domine, quia audit servus tuus. |
[10]And the Lord came, and stood, and called him as before: and Samuel said, Speak, for thy servant hears. |
| [11]Et dixit Dominus ad Samuelem: Ecce ego facio verbum in Israël: quod quicumque audierit, tinnient ambæ aures ejus. |
[11]And the Lord said to Samuel, Behold, I execute my words in Israel; whoever hears them, both his ears shall tingle. |
| [12]In die illa suscitabo adversum Heli omnia quæ locutus sum super domum ejus: incipiam, et complebo. |
[12]In that day I will raise up against Heli all things that I have said against his house; I will begin, and I will make an end. |
| [13]Prædixi enim ei quod judicaturus essem domum ejus in æternum, propter iniquitatem, eo quod noverat indigne agere filios suos, et non corripuerit eos. |
[13]And I have told him that I will be avenged on his house perpetually for the iniquities of his sons, because his sons spoke evil against God, and he did not admonish them. |
| [14]Idcirco juravi domui Heli quod non expietur iniquitas domus ejus victimis et muneribus usque in æternum. |
[14]And it shall not go on so; I have sworn to the house of Eli, the iniquity of the house of Eli shall not be atoned for with incense or sacrifices for ever. |
| [15]Dormivit autem Samuel usque mane, aperuitque ostia domus Domini. Et Samuel timebat indicare visionem Heli. |
[15]And Samuel slept till morning, and rose early in the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the Lord; and Samuel feared to tell Heli the vision. |
| [16]Vocavit ergo Heli Samuelem, et dixit: Samuel fili mi? Qui respondens ait: Præsto sum. |
[16]And Heli said to Samuel, Samuel, my son; and he said, Behold, here am I. |
| [17]Et interrogavit eum: Quis est sermo, quem locutus est Dominus ad te? oro te ne celaveris me: hæc faciat tibi Deus, et hæc addat, si absconderis a me sermonem ex omnibus verbis, quæ dicta sunt tibi. |
[17]And he said, What was the word that was spoken to thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: may God do these things to thee, and more also, if thou hide from me any thing of all the words that were spoken to thee in thine ears. |
| [18]Indicavit itaque ei Samuel universos sermones, et non abscondit ab eo. Et ille respondit: Dominus est: quod bonum est in oculis suis faciat. |
[18]And Samuel reported all the words, and hid them not from him. And Heli said, He is the Lord, he shall do that which is good in his sight. |
| [19]Crevit autem Samuel, et Dominus erat cum eo, et non cecidit ex omnibus verbis ejus in terram. |
[19]And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and there did not fall one of his words to the ground. |
| [20]Et cognovit universus Israël, a Dan usque Bersabee, quod fidelis Samuel propheta esset Domini. |
[20]And all Israel knew from Dan even to Bersabee, that Samuel was faithful as a prophet to the Lord. |
| [21]Et addidit Dominus ut appareret in Silo, quoniam revelatus fuerat Dominus Samueli in Silo, juxta verbum Domini. Et evenit sermo Samuelis universo Israëli. |
[21]And the Lord manifested himself again in Selom, for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel; and Samuel was accredited to all Israel as a prophet to the Lord from one end of the land to the other: and Heli was very old, and his sons kept advancing in wickedness, and their way was evil before the Lord. |
