1 Samuel 3

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

١ وَكَانَ ٱلصَّبِيُّ صَمُوئِيلُ يَخْدِمُ ٱلرَّبَّ أَمَامَ عَالِي. وَكَانَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَزِيزَةً فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ. لَمْ تَكُنْ رُؤْيَا كَثِيرًا.

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;

٢ وَكَانَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلزَّمَانِ إِذْ كَانَ عَالِي مُضْطَجِعًا فِي مَكَانِهِ وَعَيْنَاهُ ٱبْتَدَأَتَا تَضْعُفَانِ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَنْ يُبْصِرَ.

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

٣ وَقَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْطَفِئَ سِرَاجُ ٱللهِ، وَصَمُوئِيلُ مُضْطَجعٌ فِي هَيْكَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ تَابُوتُ ٱللهِ،

4 That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here [am] I.

٤ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ دَعَا صَمُوئِيلَ، فَقَالَ: «هَأَنَذَا».

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.

٥ وَرَكَضَ إِلَى عَالِي وَقَالَ: «هَأَنَذَا لِأَنَّكَ دَعَوْتَنِي». فَقَالَ: «لَمْ أَدْعُ. ٱرْجعِ ٱضْطَجِعْ». فَذَهَبَ وَٱضْطَجَعَ.

6 And the LORD 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.

٦ ثُمَّ عَادَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَدَعَا أَيْضًا صَمُوئِيلَ. فَقَامَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى عَالِي وَقَالَ: «هَأَنَذَا لِأَنَّكَ دَعَوْتَنِي». فَقَالَ: «لَمْ أَدْعُ يَاٱبْنِي. ٱرْجعِ ٱضْطَجِعْ».

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

٧ وَلَمْ يَعْرِفْ صَمُوئِيلُ ٱلرَّبَّ بَعْدُ، وَلَا أُعْلِنَ لَهُ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ بَعْدُ.

8 And the LORD 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 the LORD had called the child.

٨ وَعَادَ ٱلرَّبُّ فَدَعَا صَمُوئِيلَ ثَالِثَةً. فَقَامَ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى عَالِي وَقَالَ: «هَأَنَذَا لِأَنَّكَ دَعَوْتَنِي». فَفَهِمَ عَالِي أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَدْعُو ٱلصَّبِيَّ.

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

٩ فَقَالَ عَالِي لِصَمُوئِيلَ: «ٱذْهَبِ ٱضْطَجِعْ، وَيَكُونُ إِذَا دَعَاكَ تَقُولُ: تَكَلَّمْ يَارَبُّ لِأَنَّ عَبْدَكَ سَامِعٌ». فَذَهَبَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَٱضْطَجَعَ فِي مَكَانِهِ.

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

١٠ فَجَاءَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَوَقَفَ وَدَعَا كَٱلْمَرَّاتِ ٱلْأُوَلِ: «صَمُوئِيلُ، صَمُوئِيلُ». فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «تَكَلَّمْ لِأَنَّ عَبْدَكَ سَامِعٌ».

11 And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.

١١ فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِصَمُوئِيلَ: «هُوَذَا أَنَا فَاعِلٌ أَمْرًا فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلُّ مَنْ سَمِعَ بِهِ تَطِنُّ أُذُنَاهُ.

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.

١٢ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أُقِيمُ عَلَى عَالِي كُلَّ مَا تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهِ عَلَى بَيْتِهِ. أَبْتَدِئُ وَأُكَمِّلُ.

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.

١٣ وَقَدْ أَخْبَرْتُهُ بِأَنِّي أَقْضِي عَلَى بَيْتِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ بَنِيهِ قَدْ أَوْجَبُوا بِهِ ٱللَّعْنَةَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ، وَلَمْ يَرْدَعْهُمْ.

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.

١٤ وَلِذَلِكَ أَقْسَمْتُ لِبَيْتِ عَالِي أَنَّهُ لَا يُكَفَّرُ عَنْ شَرِّ بَيْتِ عَالِي بِذَبِيحَةٍ أَوْ بِتَقْدِمَةٍ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ».

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

١٥ وَٱضْطَجَعَ صَمُوئِيلُ إِلَى ٱلصَّبَاحِ، وَفَتَحَ أَبْوَابَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. وَخَافَ صَمُوئِيلُ أَنْ يُخْبِرَ عَالِيَ بِٱلرُّؤْيَا.

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

١٦ فَدَعَا عَالِي صَمُوئِيلَ وَقَالَ: «يَاصَمُوئِيلُ ٱبْنِي» فَقَالَ: «هَأَنَذَا».

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.

١٧ فَقَالَ: «مَاٱلْكَلَامُ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَكَ بِهِ؟ لَا تُخْفِ عَنِّي. هَكَذَا يَعْمَلُ لَكَ ٱللهُ وَهَكَذَا يَزِيدُ إِنْ أَخْفَيْتَ عَنِّي كَلِمَةً مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَكَ بِهِ».

18 And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It [is] the LORD: let him do what seemeth him good.

١٨ فَأَخْبَرَهُ صَمُوئِيلُ بِجَمِيعِ ٱلْكَلَامِ وَلَمْ يُخْفِ عَنْهُ. فَقَالَ: «هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ. مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ يَعْمَلُ».

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

١٩ وَكَبِرَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَهُ، وَلَمْ يَدَعْ شَيْئًا مِنْ جَمِيعِ كَلَامِهِ يَسْقُطُ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.

20 And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel [was] established [to be] a prophet of the LORD.

٢٠ وَعَرَفَ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ دَانَ إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ أَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱؤْتُمِنَ صَمُوئِيلُ نَبِيًّا لِلرَّبِّ.

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

٢١ وَعَادَ ٱلرَّبُّ يَتَرَاءَى فِي شِيلُوهَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱسْتَعْلَنَ لِصَمُوئِيلَ فِي شِيلُوهَ بِكَلِمَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ.
