The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha VULA
New International Version NIV
1 puer autem Samuhel ministrabat Domino coram Heli et sermo Domini erat pretiosus in diebus illis non erat visio manifesta
1
The boy Samuel ministered before the LORD under Eli. In those days the word of the LORD was rare; there were not many visions.
2 factum est ergo in die quadam Heli iacebat in loco suo et oculi eius caligaverant nec poterat videre
2
One night Eli, whose eyes were becoming so weak that he could barely see, was lying down in his usual place.
3 lucerna Dei antequam extingueretur Samuhel autem dormiebat in templo Domini ubi erat arca Dei
3
The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the house of the LORD, where the ark of God was.
4 et vocavit Dominus Samuhel qui respondens ait ecce ego
4
Then the LORD called Samuel. Samuel answered, “Here I am.”
5 et cucurrit ad Heli et dixit ecce ego vocasti enim me qui dixit non vocavi revertere dormi et abiit et dormivit
5
And he ran to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.” But Eli said, “I did not call; go back and lie down.” So he went and lay down.
6 et adiecit Dominus vocare rursum Samuhel consurgensque Samuhel abiit ad Heli et dixit ecce ego quia vocasti me qui respondit non vocavi te fili mi revertere et dormi
6
Again the LORD called, “Samuel!” And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.” “My son,” Eli said, “I did not call; go back and lie down.”
7 porro Samuhel necdum sciebat Dominum neque revelatus fuerat ei sermo Domini
7
Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD: The word of the LORD had not yet been revealed to him.
8 et adiecit Dominus et vocavit adhuc Samuhel tertio qui consurgens abiit ad Heli
8
A third time the LORD called, “Samuel!” And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.” Then Eli realized that the LORD was calling the boy.
9 et ait ecce ego quia vocasti me intellexit igitur Heli quia Dominus vocaret puerum et ait ad Samuhel vade et dormi et si deinceps vocaverit te dices loquere Domine quia audit servus tuus abiit ergo Samuhel et dormivit in loco suo
9
So Eli told Samuel, “Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, ‘Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening.’ ” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
10 et venit Dominus et stetit et vocavit sicut vocaverat secundo Samuhel Samuhel et ait Samuhel loquere quia audit servus tuus
10
The LORD came and stood there, calling as at the other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”
11 et dixit Dominus ad Samuhel ecce ego facio verbum in Israhel quod quicumque audierit tinnient ambae aures eius
11
And the LORD said to Samuel: “See, I am about to do something in Israel that will make the ears of everyone who hears about it tingle.
12 in die illo suscitabo adversum Heli omnia quae locutus sum super domum eius incipiam et conplebo
12
At that time I will carry out against Eli everything I spoke against his family—from beginning to end.
13 praedixi enim ei quod iudicaturus essem domum eius in aeternum propter iniquitatem eo quod noverat indigne agere filios suos et non corripuit eos
13
For I told him that I would judge his family forever because of the sin he knew about; his sons blasphemed God, and he failed to restrain them.
14 idcirco iuravi domui Heli quod non expietur iniquitas domus eius victimis et muneribus usque in aeternum
14
Therefore I swore to the house of Eli, ‘The guilt of Eli’s house will never be atoned for by sacrifice or offering.’ ”
15 dormivit autem Samuhel usque mane aperuitque ostia domus Domini et Samuhel timebat indicare visionem Heli
15
Samuel lay down until morning and then opened the doors of the house of the LORD. He was afraid to tell Eli the vision,
16 vocavit ergo Heli Samuhelem et dixit Samuhel fili mi qui respondens ait praesto sum
16
but Eli called him and said, “Samuel, my son.” Samuel answered, “Here I am.”
17 et interrogavit eum quis est sermo quem locutus est ad te oro te ne celaveris me haec faciat tibi Deus et haec addat si absconderis a me sermonem ex omnibus verbis quae dicta sunt tibi
17
“What was it he said to you?” Eli asked. “Do not hide it from me. May God deal with you, be it ever so severely, if you hide from me anything he told you.”
18 indicavit itaque ei Samuhel universos sermones et non abscondit ab eo et ille respondit Dominus est quod bonum est in oculis suis faciat
18
So Samuel told him everything, hiding nothing from him. Then Eli said, “He is the LORD; let him do what is good in his eyes.”
19 crevit autem Samuhel et Dominus erat cum eo et non cecidit ex omnibus verbis eius in terram
19
The LORD was with Samuel as he grew up, and he let none of Samuel’s words fall to the ground.
20 et cognovit universus Israhel a Dan usque Bersabee quod fidelis Samuhel propheta esset Domini
20
And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba recognized that Samuel was attested as a prophet of the LORD.
21 et addidit Dominus ut appareret in Silo quoniam revelatus fuerat Dominus Samuheli in Silo iuxta verbum Domini et evenit sermo Samuhelis universo Israheli
21
The LORD continued to appear at Shiloh, and there he revealed himself to Samuel through his word.
