1 Samuel 3
1 The child Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli. The LORD’s word was rare in those days. There were not many visions, then.
A dijete Samuilo služaše Gospodu pred Ilijem; i rijeè Gospodnja bješe rijetka u ono vrijeme, i ne javljahu se utvare.
2 At that time, when Eli was laid down in his place (now his eyes had begun to grow dim, so that he could not see),
Jednom u to vrijeme Ilije ležaše na svom mjestu; a oèi mu poèinjahu tamnjeti te ne mogaše vidjeti;
3 and God’s lamp hadn’t yet gone out, and Samuel had laid down in the LORD’s temple where God’s ark was,
I Samuilo ležaše u domu Gospodnjem gdje bijaše kovèeg Božji, i žišci Gospodnji još ne bjehu pogašeni.
4 The LORD called Samuel. He said, “Here I am.”
I viknu Gospod Samuila, a on reèe: evo me.
5 He ran to Eli and said, “Here I am; for you called me.” He said, “I didn’t call. Lie down again.” He went and lay down.
I pritrèa k Iliju, i reèe mu: evo me, što si me zvao? A on reèe: nijesam te zvao, idi lezi. I on otide i leže.
6 The LORD called yet again, “Samuel!” Samuel arose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; for you called me.” He answered, “I didn’t call, my son. Lie down again.”
A Gospod opet viknu Samuila, i Samuilo usta, i otide k Iliju, i reèe: evo me, što si me zvao? A on reèe: nijesam te zvao, sine; idi lezi.
7 Now Samuel didn’t yet know the LORD, neither was the LORD’s word yet revealed to him.
A Samuilo još ne poznavaše Gospoda, i još mu ne bješe javljena rijeè Gospodnja.
8 The LORD called Samuel again the third time. He arose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; for you called me.” Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.
Tada opet viknu Gospod Samuila treæi put, i on usta i otide k Iliju, i reèe: evo me, što si me zvao? Tada razumje Ilije da Gospod zove dijete.
9 Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down. It shall be, if he calls you, that you shall say, ‘Speak, LORD; for your servant hears.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
I reèe Ilije Samuilu: idi lezi; a ako te zovne, a ti reci: govori Gospode, èuje sluga tvoj. I Samuilo otide, i leže na svoje mjesto.
10 The LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel said, “Speak; for your servant hears.”
A Gospod doðe i stade; i zovnu kao prije: Samuilo! Samuilo! A Samuilo reèe: govori, èuje sluga tvoj.
11 The LORD said to Samuel, “Behold, I will do a thing in Israel at which both the ears of everyone who hears it will tingle.
I reèe Gospod Samuilu: evo uèiniæu nešto u Izrailju da æe zujati oba uha svakome ko èuje.
12 In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even to the end.
U taj dan æu uèiniti Iliju sve što sam govorio za kuæu njegovu, od poèetka do kraja.
13 For I have told him that I will judge his house forever for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons brought a curse on themselves, and he didn’t restrain them.
Jer sam mu javio da æu suditi domu njegovu dovijeka za nevaljalstvo, za koje je znao da njim navlaèe na se prokletstvo sinovi njegovi, pa im nije zabranio.
14 Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be removed with sacrifice or offering forever.”
Zato se zakleh domu Ilijevu da se neæe oèistiti nevaljalstvo doma Ilijeva nikakvom žrtvom ni prinosom dovijeka.
15 Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the LORD’s house. Samuel was afraid to show Eli the vision.
I Samuilo spava do jutra, pa otvori vrata doma Gospodnjega. Ali se bojaše Samuilo kazati Iliju za utvaru.
16 Then Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son!” He said, “Here I am.”
A Ilije zovnu Samuila i reèe: Samuilo, sine! A on reèe: evo me.
17 He said, “What is the thing that he has spoken to you? Please don’t hide it from me. God do so to you, and more also, if you hide anything from me of all the things that he spoke to you.”
A on reèe: kakve su rijeèi što ti je kazao? nemoj zatajiti od mene; tako ti uèinio Bog i tako ti dodao, ako zatajiš od mene što god što ti je kazao.
18 Samuel told him every bit, and hid nothing from him. He said, “It is the LORD. Let him do what seems good to him.”
I Samuilo mu kaza sve, i ništa ne zataji od njega. A on reèe: Gospod je, neka èini što mu je volja.
19 Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground.
A Samuilo rastijaše, i Gospod bijaše s njim, i ne pusti da padne na zemlju nijedna rijeè njegova.
20 All Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.
I sav Izrailj od Dana do Virsaveje pozna da je Samuilo vjeran prorok Gospodnji.
21 The LORD appeared again in Shiloh; for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the LORD’s word.
I Gospod se stade opet javljati u Silomu, jer se Gospod javljaše Samuilu u Silomu rijeèju Gospodnjom.
