1 Samuel 3
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1And 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.
1Puer autem Samuel ministrabat Domino coram Heli, et sermo Domini erat pretiosus in diebus illis: non erat visio manifesta.
2And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see;
2Factum est ergo in die quadam, Heli jacebat in loco suo, et oculi ejus caligaverant, nec poterat videre:
3And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD , where the ark of God was , and Samuel was laid down to sleep;
3lucerna Dei antequam extingueretur, Samuel dormiebat in templo Domini, ubi erat arca Dei.
4That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.
4Et vocavit Dominus Samuel. Qui respondens, ait: Ecce ego.
5And 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.
5Et cucurrit ad Heli, et dixit: Ecce ego: vocasti enim me. Qui dixit: Non vocavi: revertere, et dormi. Et abiit, et dormivit.
6And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again.
6Et adjecit Dominus rursum vocare Samuelem. Consurgensque Samuel, abiit ad Heli, et dixit: Ecce ego, quia vocasti me. Qui respondit: Non vocavi te, fili mi: revertere et dormi.
7Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD , neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him.
7Porro Samuel necdum sciebat Dominum, neque revelatus fuerat ei sermo Domini.
8And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.
8Et adjecit Dominus, et vocavit adhuc Samuelem tertio. Qui consurgens abiit ad Heli,
9Therefore 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.
9et ait: Ecce ego, quia vocasti me. Intellexit ergo Heli quia Dominus vocaret puerum: et ait ad Samuelem: Vade, et dormi: et si deinceps vocaverit te, dices: Loquere, Domine, quia audit servus tuus. Abiit ergo Samuel, et dormivit in loco suo.
10And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.
10Et venit Dominus, et stetit: et vocavit, sicut vocaverat secundo: Samuel, Samuel. Et ait Samuel: Loquere, Domine, quia audit servus tuus.
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.
11Et dixit Dominus ad Samuelem: Ecce ego facio verbum in Israël, quod quicumque audierit, tinnient ambæ aures ejus.
12In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end.
12In die illa suscitabo adversum Heli omnia quæ locutus sum super domum ejus: incipiam, et complebo.
13For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.
13Prædixi enim ei quod judicaturus essem domum ejus in æternum propter iniquitatem, eo quod noverat indigne agere filios suos, et non corripuerit eos.
14And 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.
14Idcirco juravi domui Heli quod non expietur iniquitas domus ejus victimis et muneribus usque in æternum.
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.
15Dormivit autem Samuel usque mane, aperuitque ostia domus Domini. Et Samuel timebat indicare visionem Heli.
16Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I.
16Vocavit ergo Heli Samuelem, et dixit: Samuel fili mi? Qui respondens ait: Præsto sum.
17And he said, What is the thing that the Lord hath said 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 said unto thee.
17Et interrogavit eum: Quis est sermo, quem locutus est Dominus ad te? oro te ne celaveris me: hæc faciat tibi Deus, et hæc addat, si absconderis a me sermonem ex omnibus verbis quæ dicta sunt tibi.
18And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is the LORD : let him do what seemeth him good.
18Indicavit itaque ei Samuel universos sermones, et non abscondit ab eo. Et ille respondit: Dominus est: quod bonum est in oculis suis faciat.
19¶ And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.
19Crevit autem Samuel, et Dominus erat cum eo, et non cecidit ex omnibus verbis ejus in terram.
20And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD .
20Et cognovit universus Israël, a Dan usque Bersabee, quod fidelis Samuel propheta esset Domini.
21And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD .
21Et addidit Dominus ut appareret in Silo, quoniam revelatus fuerat Dominus Samueli in Silo juxta verbum Domini. Et evenit sermo Samuelis universo Israëli.
