< 1 Samuel 3 >

1 And the child Samuel ministered unto Yhwh before Eli. And the word of Yhwh was precious in those days; there was no open vision.
And the lad Samuel [was] serving Yahweh before Eli and [the] word of Yahweh it was rare in the days those not vision [was] spread out.
2 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;
And it was on the day that and Eli [was] lying in place his (and eyes his *QK) they began dim not he was able to see.
3 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;
And [the] lamp of God not yet it was extinguished and Samuel [was] lying in [the] temple of Yahweh where [was] there [the] ark of God.
4 That Yhwh called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.
And he called Yahweh to Samuel and he said here [am] I.
5 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.
And he ran to Eli and he said here [am] I for you summoned me and he said not I summoned return lie down and he went and he lay down.
6 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.
And he repeated Yahweh to call again Samuel and he rose Samuel and he went to Eli and he said here [am] I for you summoned me and he said not I summoned O son my return lie down.
7 Now Samuel did not yet know Yhwh, neither was the word of Yhwh yet revealed unto him.
And Samuel not yet he knew Yahweh and not yet it was revealed to him [the] word of Yahweh.
8 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.
And he repeated Yahweh to call Samuel at the third [time] and he rose and he went to Eli and he said here [am] I for you summoned me and he understood Eli that Yahweh [was] summoning the lad.
9 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.
And he said Eli to Samuel go lie down and it will be that [if] he will call to you and you will say speak O Yahweh for [is] listening servant your and he went Samuel and he lay down in place his.
10 And Yhwh came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.
And he came Yahweh and he stood and he called as time on time O Samuel - O Samuel and he said Samuel speak for [is] listening servant your.
11 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.
And he said Yahweh to Samuel here! I [am] about to do a thing in Israel which every [one who] hears it they will tingle [the] two ears his.
12 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.
On the day that I will carry out against Eli all that I have spoken against house his beginning and ending.
13 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.
And I tell to him that [am] about to judge I house his until perpetuity for [the] iniquity which he knew that [were] bringing a curse to themselves sons his and not he rebuked them.
14 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.
And therefore I swear to [the] house of Eli if it will be atoned for [the] iniquity of [the] house of Eli by sacrifice and by an offering until perpetuity.
15 And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Yhwh. And Samuel feared to shew Eli the vision.
And he lay Samuel until the morning and he opened [the] doors of [the] house of Yahweh and Samuel he was afraid from telling the vision to Eli.
16 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I.
And he called Eli Samuel and he said O Samuel son my and he said here [am] I.
17 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.
And he said what? [was] the word which he spoke to you may not please you hide [it] from me thus may he do to you God and thus may he add if you will hide from me a word from all the word which he spoke to you.
18 And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is Yhwh: let him do what seemeth him good.
And he told to him Samuel all the words and not he hid [them] from him and he said [is] Yahweh he the good (in eyes his *QK) let him do.
19 And Samuel grew, And Yhwh was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.
And he grew up Samuel and Yahweh he was with him and not he made fall any of all words his [the] ground towards.
20 And all Israel from Dan even to Beer–sheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of Yhwh.
And it knew all Israel from Dan and to Beer Sheba that [was being] established Samuel to a prophet of Yahweh.
21 And Yhwh appeared again in Shiloh: for Yhwh revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of Yhwh.
And he repeated Yahweh to appear at Shiloh for he revealed himself Yahweh to Samuel at Shiloh by [the] word of Yahweh.
