1The child Samuel ministered to Yahweh before Eli. The word of Yahweh was precious in those days; there was no frequent vision.
1A mládenček Samuel posluhoval Hospodinovi pred Élim. A slovo Hospodinovo bolo vzácne v tých dňoch, a len málokde mal niekto prorocké videnie.
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),
2A stalo sa toho času, raz keď ležal Éli na svojom mieste, a jeho oči boly začaly slabnúť, takže nemohol vidieť,
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;
3a lampa Božia nebola ešte vyhasla, a keď ležal Samuel v chráme Hospodinovom, kde bola truhla Božia,
4that Yahweh called Samuel; and he said, “Here I am.”
4že zavolal Hospodin na Samuela, ktorý odpovedal: Tu som.
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.
5A bežal k Élimu a povedal: Tu som, lebo si ma volal. A on mu povedal: Nevolal som. Idi zpät, ľahni si. A odíduc ľahol si.
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.”
6A Hospodin zase volal na Samuela. A Samuel vstal a išiel k Élimu a povedal: Tu som, lebo si ma volal. A povedal: Nevolal som, môj synu: len idi zpät a lež.
7Now Samuel didn’t yet know Yahweh, neither was the word of Yahweh yet revealed to him.
7A Samuel ešte neznal Hospodina, ani mu nebolo dovtedy zjavené slovo Hospodinovo.
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.
8A Hospodin zase volal na Samuela, po tretie. A on vstal a išiel k Élimu a povedal: Tu som, lebo si ma volal. Vtedy porozumel Éli, že Hospodin volá chlapca.
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.
9Preto povedal Éli Samuelovi: Idi, ľahni si. A keby ešte volal na teba, povieš: Hovor, Hospodine, lebo tvoj služobník čuje. A tak odišiel Samuel a ľahol si na svoje miesto.
10Yahweh came, and stood, and called as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel said, “Speak; for your servant hears.”
10Potom prišiel Hospodin a stál. A zase volal ako po každé predtým: Samuel, Samuel! A Samuel odpovedal: Hovor, lebo tvoj služobník čuje!
11Yahweh said to Samuel, “Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of everyone who hears it shall tingle.
11A Hospodin riekol Samuelovi: Hľa, ja učiním v Izraelovi takú vec, ktorá bude znieť v oboch jeho ušiach každému, kto ju počuje.
12In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even to the end.
12Toho dňa uvediem na Éliho všetko, čo som hovoril o jeho dome, od počiatku až po koniec.
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.
13A dám mu vedieť, že ja budem súdiť jeho dom až na veky pre neprávosť, o ktorej vedel, že jeho synovia uvodia na seba kliatbu, a nezabránil im.
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.”
14Preto som prisahal domu Éliho, že nebude pokrytá neprávosť domu Éliho ani bitnou obeťou ani obilnou obeťou až na veky.
15Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Yahweh. Samuel feared to show Eli the vision.
15A Samuel ležal až do rána a potom otvoril dvere domu Hospodinovho. A Samuel sa bál oznámiť Élimu videnie.
16Then Eli called Samuel, and said, “Samuel, my son!” He said, “Here I am.”
16Ale Éli zavolal Samuela a povedal: Samuel, môj synu! Ktorý odpovedal: Tu som.
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.”
17A povedal: Aká je to vec, ktorú ti hovoril? Netaj, prosím, predo mnou. Nech ti tak učiní Bôh a tak nech pridá, ak zatajíš predo mnou niečo zo všetkého toho, čo ti hovoril.
18Samuel told him every bit, and hid nothing from him. He said, “It is Yahweh. Let him do what seems good to him.”
18Vtedy mu oznámil Samuel všetko a nezatajil ničoho pred ním. A Éli povedal: On je Hospodin, nech učiní to, čo je dobré v jeho očiach.
19Samuel grew, and Yahweh was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground.
19A Samuel rástol, a Hospodin bol s ním a nedal padnúť niktorému jeho slovu na zem.
20All Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of Yahweh.
20A poznal celý Izrael od Dána až po Bér-šebu, že je Samuel verný a stály za proroka Hospodinovi.
21Yahweh appeared again in Shiloh; for Yahweh revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of Yahweh.
21A Hospodin sa znova a znova ukazoval v Síle, lebo Hospodin sa zjavil Samuelovi v Síle v slove Hospodinovom.
