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.
А дете Самуило служаше Господу пред Илијем; и реч Господња беше ретка у оно време, и не јављаху се утваре.
2 And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, (now his eyes had begun to wax dim, that he could not see, )
Једном у то време Илије лежаше на свом месту; а очи му почињаху тамнети те не могаше видети.
3 and the lamp of God was not yet gone out, and Samuel was laid down [to sleep], in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was;
И Самуило лежаше у дому Господњем где беше ковчег Божји, и жишци Господњи још не беху погашени.
4 that the LORD called Samuel: and he said, Here am I.
И викну Господ Самуила, а он рече: Ево ме.
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.
И притрча к Илију, и рече му: Ево ме, што си ме звао? А он рече: Нисам те звао, иди лези. И он отиде и леже.
6 And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again.
А Господ опет викну Самуила, и Самуило уста, и отиде к Илију, и рече: Ево ме, што си ме звао? А он рече: Нисам те звао, сине; иди лези.
7 Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him.
А Самуило још не познаваше Господа, и још му не беше јављена реч Господња.
8 And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.
Тада опет викну Господ Самуила трећи пут, и он уста и отиде к Илију, и рече: Ево ме, што си ме звао? Тада разуме Илије да Господ зове дете.
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.
И рече Илије Самуилу: Иди лези; а ако те зовне, а ти реци: Говори Господе, чује слуга твој. И Самуило отиде, и леже на своје место.
10 And the LORD came, and stood and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel said, Speak; for thy servant heareth.
А Господ дође и стаде; и зовну као пре: Самуило! Самуило! А Самуило рече: Говори, чује слуга твој.
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.
И рече Господ Самуилу: Ево учинићу нешто у Израиљу да ће зујати оба уха свакоме ко чује.
12 In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even unto the end.
У тај дан ћу учинити Илију све што сам говорио за кућу његову, од почетка до краја.
13 For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever, for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons did bring a curse upon themselves, and he restrained them not.
Јер сам му јавио да ћу судити дому његовом довека за неваљалство, за које је знао да њим навлаче на се проклетство синови његови, па им није забранио.
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.
Зато се заклех дому Илијевом да се неће очистити неваљалство дома Илијевог никаквом жртвом ни приносом довека.
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.
И Самуило спава до јутра, па отвори врата дома Господњег. Али се бојаше Самуило казати Илију за утвару.
16 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he said, Here Am I.
А Илије зовну Самуила и рече: Самуило, сине! А он рече: Ево ме.
17 And he said, What is the thing that [the LORD] hath spoken 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 spake unto thee.
А он рече: Какве су речи што ти је казао? Немој затајити од мене; тако ти учинио Бог и тако ти додао, ако затајиш од мене шта год ти је казао.
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.
И Самуило му каза све, и ништа не затаји од њега. А он рече: Господ је, нека чини оно што Му је воља.
19 And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.
А Самуило растијаше, и Господ беше с њим, и не пусти да падне на земљу ниједна реч његова.
20 And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.
И сав Израиљ од Дана до Вирсавеје позна да је Самуило веран пророк Господњи.
21 And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.
И Господ се стаде опет јављати у Силому, јер се Господ јављаше Самуилу у Силому речју Господњом.
