Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1The child Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli. The LORD’s word was rare in those days. There were not many visions, then.
1ΚΑΙ τὸ παιδάριον Σαμουὴλ ἦν λειτουργῶν τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐνώπιον Ἡλὶ τοῦ ἱερέως· καὶ ρῆμα Κυρίου ἦν τίμιον ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις, οὐκ ἦν ὅρασις διαστέλλουσα.
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),
2καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ Ἡλὶ ἐκάθευδεν ἐν τῷ τόπῳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ ἤρξαντο βαρύνεσθαι, καὶ οὐκ ἠδύναντο βλέπειν.
3and God’s lamp hadn’t yet gone out, and Samuel had laid down in the LORD’s temple where God’s ark was,
3καὶ ὁ λύχνος τοῦ Θεοῦ πρὶν ἐπισκευασθῆναι, καὶ Σαμουὴλ ἐκάθευδεν ἐν τῷ ναῷ, οὗ ἡ κιβωτὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ.
4The LORD called Samuel. He said, “Here I am.”
4καὶ ἐκάλεσε Κύριος· Σαμουὴλ Σαμουήλ· καὶ εἶπεν· ἰδοὺ ἐγώ.
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.
5καὶ ἔδραμε πρὸς Ἡλὶ καὶ εἶπεν· ἰδοὺ ἐγώ, ὅτι κέκληκάς με· καὶ εἶπεν· οὐ κέκληκά σε, ἀνάστρεφε, κάθευδε· καὶ ἀνέστρεψε καὶ ἐκάθευδε.
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.”
6καὶ προσέθετο Κύριος καὶ ἐκάλεσε· Σαμουὴλ Σαμουήλ· καὶ ἐπορεύθη πρὸς Ἡλὶ τὸ δεύτερον καὶ εἶπεν· ἰδοὺ ἐγώ, ὅτι κέκληκάς με· καὶ εἶπεν· οὐ κέκληκά σε, ἀνάστρεφε, κάθευδε·
7Now Samuel didn’t yet know the LORD, neither was the LORD’s word yet revealed to him.
7καὶ Σαμουὴλ πρὶν ἢ γνῶναι Θεὸν καὶ ἀποκαλυφθῆναι αὐτῷ ρῆμα Κυρίου.
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.
8καὶ προσέθετο Κύριος καλέσαι Σαμουὴλ ἐν τρίτῳ· καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ ἐπορεύθη πρὸς Ἡλὶ καὶ εἶπεν· ἰδοὺ ἐγώ, ὅτι κέκληκάς με. καὶ ἐσοφίσατο Ἡλὶ ὅτι Κύριος κέκληκε τὸ παιδάριον,
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.
9καὶ εἶπεν· ἀνάστρεφε, κάθευδε, τέκνον, καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν καλέσῃ σε καὶ ἐρεῖς· λάλει, Κύριε, ὅτι ἀκούει ὁ δοῦλός σου. καὶ ἐπορεύθῃ Σαμουὴλ καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐν τῷ τόπῳ αὐτοῦ.
10The LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel said, “Speak; for your servant hears.”
10καὶ ἦλθε Κύριος καὶ κατέστη καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὸν ὡς ἅπαξ καὶ ἅπαξ, καὶ εἶπε Σαμουήλ· λάλει, ὅτι ἀκούει ὁ δοῦλός σου.
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.
11καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Σαμουήλ· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ποιῶ τὰ ρήματά μου ἐν Ἰσραήλ, ὥστε παντὸς ἀκούοντος αὐτὰ ἠχήσει ἀμφότερα τὰ ὦτα αὐτοῦ.
12In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even to the end.
12ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐπεγερῶ ἐπὶ Ἡλὶ πάντα, ὅσα ἐλάλησα εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, ἄρξομαι καὶ ἐπιτελέσω.
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.
13καὶ ἀνήγγελκα αὐτῷ ὅτι ἐκδικῶ ἐγὼ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ ἕως αἰῶνος ἐν ἀδικίαις υἱῶν αὐτοῦ, ὅτι κακολογοῦντες Θεὸν οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐνουθέτει αὐτοὺς
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.”
14καὶ οὐδ᾿ οὕτως. ὤμοσα τῷ οἴκῳ Ἡλί· εἰ ἐξιλασθήσεται ἀδικία οἴκου Ἡλὶ ἐν θυμιάματι καὶ ἐν θυσίαις ἕως αἰῶνος.
15Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the LORD’s house. Samuel was afraid to show Eli the vision.
15καὶ κοιμᾶται Σαμουὴλ ἕως πρωΐ καὶ ὤρθρισε τὸ πρωΐ καὶ ἤνοιξε τὰς θύρας οἴκου Κυρίου· καὶ Σαμουὴλ ἐφοβήθη ἀπαγγεῖλαι τὴν ὅρασιν τῷ Ἡλί.
16Then Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son!” He said, “Here I am.”
16καὶ εἶπεν Ἡλὶ πρὸς Σαμουήλ· Σαμουὴλ τέκνον· καὶ εἶπεν· ἰδοὺ ἐγώ.
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.”
17καὶ εἶπε· τί τὸ ρῆμα τὸ λαληθὲν πρός σε; μὴ δὴ κρύψῃς ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ· τάδε ποιήσαι σοι ὁ Θεὸς καὶ τάδε προσθείη, ἐὰν κρύψῃς ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ ρῆμα ἐκ πάντων τῶν λόγων τῶν λαληθέντων σοι ἐν τοῖς ὠσί σου.
18Samuel told him every bit, and hid nothing from him. He said, “It is the LORD. Let him do what seems good to him.”
18καὶ ἀπήγγειλε Σαμουὴλ πάντας τοὺς λόγους καὶ οὐκ ἔκρυψεν ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ. καὶ εἶπεν Ἡλί· Κύριος αὐτός, τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ποιήσει.
19Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground.
19καὶ ἐμεγαλύνθη Σαμουήλ, καὶ ἦν Κύριος μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔπεσεν ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν λόγων αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.
20All Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.
20καὶ ἔγνωσαν πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ Δὰν καὶ ἕως Βηρσαβεὲ ὅτι πιστὸς Σαμουὴλ εἰς προφήτην τῷ Κυρίῳ.
21The LORD appeared again in Shiloh; for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the LORD’s word.
21καὶ προσέθετο Κύριος δηλωθῆναι ἐν Σηλώμ, ὅτι ἀπεκαλύφθη Κύριος πρὸς Σαμουήλ· καὶ ἐπιστεύθη Σαμουὴλ τοῦ προφήτης γενέσθαι τῷ Κυρίῳ εἰς πάντα Ἰσραὴλ ἀπ᾿ ἄκρων τῆς γῆς καὶ ἕως ἄκρων. καὶ Ἡλὶ πρεσβύτης σφόδρα, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ πορευόμενοι ἐπορεύοντο καὶ πονηρὰ ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτῶν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου.
