1 Samuel 3

CLV(i) 1 And the youth Samuel is serving Yahweh before Eli, and the word of Yahweh has been precious in those days--there is no vision broken forth. 2 And it comes to pass, at that time, that Eli is lying down in his place, and his eyes have begun to be dim--he is not able to see. 3 And the lamp of Elohim is not yet extinguished, and Samuel is lying down in the temple of Yahweh, where the ark of Elohim [is], 4 and Yahweh calls unto Samuel, and he said, `Here [am] I.. 5 And he runs unto Eli, and said, `Here [am] I, for you have called for me;' and he said, `I called not; turn back, lie down;' and he goes and lies down. 6 And Yahweh adds to call again Samuel, and Samuel rises and goes unto Eli, and said, `Here [am] I, for you have called for me;' and he said, `I have not called, my son, turn back, lie down.. 7 And Samuel has not yet known Yahweh, and the word of Yahweh is not yet revealed unto him. 8 And Yahweh adds to call Samuel the third time, and he rises and goes unto Eli, and said, `Here [am] I, for you have called for me;' and Eli understands that Yahweh is calling to the youth. 9 And Eli said to Samuel, `Go, lie down, and it has been, if He does call unto you, that you have said, Speak, Yahweh, for Your servant is hearing;' and Samuel goes and lies down in his place. 10 And Yahweh comes, and stations Himself, and calls as time by time, `Samuel, Samuel;' and Samuel said, `Speak, for Your servant if hearing.. 11 And Yahweh said unto Samuel, `Lo, I am doing a thing in Israel, at which the two ears of every one hearing it do tingle. 12 In that day I establish unto Eli all that I have spoken unto his house, beginning and completing;" 13 and I have declared to him that I am judging his house--to the eon, for the iniquity which he has known, for his sons are making themselves vile, and he has not restrained them, 14 and therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli:the iniquity of the house of Eli is not atoned for, by sacrifice, and by offering--unto the eon.. 15 And Samuel lies till the morning, and opens the doors of the house of Yahweh, and Samuel is afraid of declaring the vision unto Eli. 16 And Eli calls Samuel, and said, `Samuel, my son;' and he said, `Here [am] I.. 17 And he said, `What [is] the word which He has spoken unto you? I pray you, hide it not from me; so does Elohim do to you, and so does He add, if you hide from me a word of all the words that He has spoken unto you.. 18 And Samuel declares to him the whole of the words, and has not hid from him; and he said, `It [is] Yahweh; that which is good in His eyes He does.. 19 And Samuel grows up, and Yahweh has been with him, and has not let fall any of his words to the earth;" 20 and all Israel know, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba, that Samuel is established for a prophet to Yahweh. 21 And Yahweh adds to appear in Shiloh, for Yahweh has been revealed unto Samuel, in Shiloh, by the word of Yahweh.
