Matthew⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And the child Samuel ministred vnto the Lord Eli: & the word of the Lorde was precious in those dayes, for there was none open vision. ² And it chaunsed at that tyme, that Eli laye in his place, & his eyes began to waxe dimme, that he could not se. ³ And yer the lamp of God went out. Samuel layd him doune to slepe, in the temple of the Lord, where the arcke of God was. ⁴ And the Lorde called Samuel: & he sayd: here am I, ⁵ & he ran vnto Eli, & said: here am I, for thou calledest me. And he sayde I called the not: go agayne, & slepe. And he went and layde hym doune to slepe. ⁶ And the Lord called once againe: Samuel, and Samuel arose & went to Eli, and sayd: I am here, thou dyddest call me. And he aunswered: I called the not my sonne. Go agayne & take thy rest: ⁷ but it was yer Samuel knewe the Lord, & yer the worde of the Lorde was opened vnto hym. ⁸ And the Lorde wente to & called Samuel the thyrde tyme. And he arose and wente to Eli, and sayde: I am here: for thou hast called me. Then Eli perceyued that the Lord had called the ladde. ⁹ And said vnto him: go & lye doune: & yf he call the agayne, then say: speake on Lord, for thy seruaunt heareth. And Samuel went & layed him doune in hys place. ¹⁰ And the Lord came & stode & called as before, Samuel, Samuel. And Samuel said speake on, for thy seruaunt heareth the. ¹¹ And the Lord said to Samuel: beholde I wyl do a thing in Israel, that the eares of as many as heareth it, shall tingle. ¹² In that day I wyll performe to Eli, al that I haue spoken concernyng hys house: I wil begynne it & ende it. ¹³ For I haue tolde him that I wyl iudge his house for euer. For the wyckednesse which he knoweth, how hys sonnes are vngracyouse, and he was not wroth therewyth. ¹⁴ And therfor I haue sworne vnto the house of Eli, that the wickednesse of Elies house, shal not be purged with sacrifice nor offeryng, whyle the world standeth. ¹⁵ And Samuell lay tyll the mornyng, & then opened the dores of the house of the Lorde. But Samuel feared, to shewe Eli the vysion. ¹⁶ Then Eli called Samuel and sayd: Samuel my sonne. And he aunswered here I am. ¹⁷ And he saide: what is that he sayde vnto the? Se thou hyde it not from me. The Lord do so & so to the, yf thou hyde any thyng from me, of all that he said vnto the. ¹⁸ And Samuell tolde him euery whit, & hyd it not from him. And he answered: it is the Lord, let him do what semeth him best. ¹⁹ And Samuel grewe, and the Lorde was with hym, and left none of hys wordes vnparformed. ²⁰ And all Israel from Dan to Bersabe wist that Samuel was trulye made the Lordes Prophete. ²¹ And the Lorde apeared agayne in Siloh: for the Lorde opened hym selfe to Samuel in Siloh, thorow the worde of the Lorde.
