1وكان الصبي صموئيل يخدم الرب امام عالي. وكانت كلمة الرب عزيزة في تلك الايام. لم تكن رؤيا كثيرا.
1The child Samuel ministered to Yahweh before Eli. The word of Yahweh was precious in those days; there was no frequent vision.
2وكان في ذلك الزمان اذ كان عالي مضطجعا في مكانه وعيناه ابتدأتا تضعفان. لم يقدر ان يبصر.
2It happened at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place (now his eyes had begun to grow dim, so that he could not see),
3وقبل ان ينطفئ سراج الله وصموئيل مضطجع في هيكل الرب الذي فيه تابوت الله
3and the lamp of God hadn’t yet gone out, and Samuel had laid down in Yahweh’s temple, where the ark of God was;
4ان الرب دعا صموئيل فقال هانذا.
4that Yahweh called Samuel; and he said, “Here I am.”
5وركض الى عالي وقال هانذا لانك دعوتني. فقال لم ادع. ارجع اضطجع. فذهب واضطجع.
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.
6ثم عاد الرب ودعا ايضا صموئيل. فقام صموئيل وذهب الى عالي وقال هانذا لانك دعوتني. فقال لم ادع يا ابني. ارجع اضطجع.
6Yahweh 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.”
7ولم يعرف صموئيل الرب بعد ولا اعلن له كلام الرب بعد.
7Now Samuel didn’t yet know Yahweh, neither was the word of Yahweh yet revealed to him.
8وعاد الرب فدعا صموئيل ثالثة. فقام وذهب الى عالي وقال هانذا لانك دعوتني. ففهم عالي ان الرب يدعو الصبي.
8Yahweh called Samuel again the third time. He arose and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am; for you called me.” Eli perceived that Yahweh had called the child.
9فقال عالي لصموئيل اذهب اضطجع ويكون اذا دعاك تقول تكلم يا رب لان عبدك سامع. فذهب صموئيل واضطجع في مكانه.
9Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he calls you, that you shall say, ‘Speak, Yahweh; for your servant hears.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
10فجاء الرب ووقف ودعا كالمرّات الأول صموئيل صموئيل. فقال صموئيل تكلم لان عبدك سامع.
10Yahweh came, and stood, and called as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel said, “Speak; for your servant hears.”
11فقال الرب لصموئيل هوذا انا فاعل امرا في اسرائيل كل من سمع به تطنّ اذناه.
11Yahweh said to Samuel, “Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of everyone who hears it shall tingle.
12في ذلك اليوم اقيم على عالي كل ما تكلمت به على بيته. ابتدئ واكمّل.
12In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even to the end.
13وقد اخبرته باني اقضي على بيته الى الابد من اجل الشر الذي يعلم ان بنيه قد اوجبوا به اللعنة على انفسهم ولم يردعهم.
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.
14ولذلك اقسمت لبيت عالي انه لا يكفّر عن شرّ بيت عالي بذبيحة او بتقدمة الى الابد
14Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be removed with sacrifice nor offering forever.”
15واضطجع صموئيل الى الصباح وفتح ابواب بيت الرب. وخاف صموئيل ان يخبر عالي بالرؤيا.
15Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Yahweh. Samuel feared to show Eli the vision.
16فدعا عالي صموئيل وقال يا صموئيل ابني. فقال هانذا.
16Then Eli called Samuel, and said, “Samuel, my son!” He said, “Here I am.”
17فقال ما الكلام الذي كلمك به لا تخف عني. هكذا يعمل لك الله وهكذا يزيد ان اخفيت عني كلمة من كل الكلام الذي كلمك به.
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.”
18فاخبره صموئيل بجميع الكلام ولم يخف عنه. فقال. هو الرب. ما يحسن في عينيه يعمل
18Samuel told him every bit, and hid nothing from him. He said, “It is Yahweh. Let him do what seems good to him.”
19وكبر صموئيل وكان الرب معه ولم يدع شيئا من جميع كلامه يسقط الى الارض.
19Samuel grew, and Yahweh was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground.
20وعرف جميع اسرائيل من دان الى بئر سبع انه قد اؤتمن صموئيل نبيا للرب.
20All Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of Yahweh.
21وعاد الرب يتراءى في شيلوه لان الرب استعلن لصموئيل في شيلوه بكلمة الرب
21Yahweh appeared again in Shiloh; for Yahweh revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of Yahweh.
