撒母耳記上 3
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
1童子 撒母耳 在 以利 面前事奉耶和華。當那些日子，耶和華的言語稀少，不常有默示。
1The child Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli. The LORD’s word was rare in those days. There were not many visions, then.
2一日， 以利 睡臥在自己的地方；他眼目昏花，看不分明。
2At that time, when Eli was laid down in his place (now his eyes had begun to grow dim, so that he could not see),
3上帝的燈在上帝耶和華殿內 約 櫃那裏，還沒有熄滅， 撒母耳 已經睡了。
3and God’s lamp hadn’t yet gone out, and Samuel had laid down in the LORD’s temple where God’s ark was,
4耶和華呼喚 撒母耳 。 撒母耳 說：「我在這裏！」
4The LORD called Samuel. He said, “Here I am.”
5就跑到 以利 那裏，說：「你呼喚我？我在這裏。」 以利 回答說：「我沒有呼喚你，你去睡吧。」他就去睡了。
5He 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.
6耶和華又呼喚 撒母耳 。 撒母耳 起來，到 以利 那裏，說：「你呼喚我？我在這裏。」 以利 回答說：「我的兒，我沒有呼喚你，你去睡吧。」
6The 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.”
7那時 撒母耳 還未認識耶和華，也未得耶和華的默示。
7Now Samuel didn’t yet know the LORD, neither was the LORD’s word yet revealed to him.
8耶和華第三次呼喚 撒母耳 。 撒母耳 起來，到 以利 那裏，說：「你又呼喚我？我在這裏。」 以利 才明白是耶和華呼喚童子。
8The 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.
9因此 以利 對 撒母耳 說：「你仍去睡吧；若再呼喚你，你就說：『耶和華啊，請說，僕人敬聽！』」 撒母耳 就去，仍睡在原處。
9Therefore 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.
10耶和華又來站着，像前三次呼喚說：「 撒母耳 啊！ 撒母耳 啊！」 撒母耳 回答說：「請說，僕人敬聽！」
10The LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel said, “Speak; for your servant hears.”
11耶和華對 撒母耳 說：「我在 以色列 中必行一件事，叫聽見的人都必耳鳴。
11The LORD said to Samuel, “Behold, I will do a thing in Israel at which both the ears of everyone who hears it will tingle.
12我指着 以利 家所說的話，到了時候，我必始終應驗在 以利 身上。
12In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even to the end.
13我曾告訴他必永遠降罰與他的家，因他知道兒子作孽，自招咒詛，卻不禁止他們。
13For 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.
14所以我向 以利 家起誓說：『 以利 家的罪孽，雖獻祭奉禮物，永不能得贖去。』」
14Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be removed with sacrifice or offering forever.”
15撒母耳 睡到天亮，就開了耶和華的殿門，不敢將默示告訴 以利 。
15Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the LORD’s house. Samuel was afraid to show Eli the vision.
16以利 呼喚 撒母耳 說：「我兒 撒母耳 啊！」 撒母耳 回答說：「我在這裏！」
16Then Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son!” He said, “Here I am.”
17以利 說：「 耶和華 對你說甚麼，你不要向我隱瞞；你若將上帝對你所說的隱瞞一句，願他重重地降罰與你。」
17He 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.”
18撒母耳 就把一切話都告訴了 以利 ，並沒有隱瞞。 以利 說：「這是出於耶和華，願他憑自己的意旨而行。」
18Samuel told him every bit, and hid nothing from him. He said, “It is the LORD. Let him do what seems good to him.”
19撒母耳 長大了，耶和華與他同在，使他所說的話一句都不落空。
19Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground.
20從 但 到 別是巴 所有的 以色列 人都知道耶和華立 撒母耳 為先知。
20All Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.
21耶和華又在 示羅 顯現；因為耶和華將自己的話默示 撒母耳 ， 撒母耳 就把這話傳遍 以色列 地。
21The LORD appeared again in Shiloh; for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the LORD’s word.
