1 Samuel 3

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 The boy Samuel served the LORD under the direction of Eli. In those days the LORD didn't give many messages to his people. He didn't give them many visions.

2 One night Eli was lying down in his usual place. His eyes were becoming so weak he couldn't see very well.

3 Samuel was lying down in the LORD's house. That's where the ark of God was kept. The lamp of God was still burning.

4 The LORD called out to Samuel. Samuel answered, "Here I am."

5 He ran over to Eli. He said, "Here I am. You called out to me." But Eli said, "I didn't call you. Go back and lie down." So he went and lay down.

6 Again the LORD called out, "Samuel!" Samuel got up and went to Eli. He said, "Here I am. You called out to me." "My son," Eli said, "I didn't call you. Go back and lie down."

7 Samuel didn't know the LORD yet. That's because the LORD still hadn't given him a message.

8 The LORD called out to Samuel for the third time. Samuel got up and went to Eli. He said, "Here I am. You called out to me." Then Eli realized that the LORD was calling the boy.

9 So Eli told Samuel, "Go and lie down. If someone calls out to you again, say, 'Speak, Lord. I'm listening.' " So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

10 The LORD came and stood there. He called out, just as he had done the other times. He said, "Samuel! Samuel!" Then Samuel replied, "Speak. I'm listening."

11 The LORD said to Samuel, "Pay attention! I am about to do something terrible in Israel. It will make the ears of everyone who hears about it ring.

12 "At that time I will do everything to Eli and his family that I said I would. I will finish what I have started.

13 I told Eli I would punish his family forever. He knew his sons were sinning. He knew they were making fun of me. In spite of that, he failed to stop them.

14 "So I took an oath and made a promise to the family of Eli. I said, 'The sins of Eli's family will never be paid for by bringing sacrifices or offerings.' "

15 Samuel lay down until morning. Then he opened the doors of the LORD's house. He was afraid to tell Eli about the vision he had received.

16 But Eli called out to him. He said, "Samuel, my son." Samuel answered, "Here I am."

17 "What did the LORD say to you?" Eli asked. "Don't hide from me anything he told you. If you do, may God punish you greatly."

18 So Samuel told him everything. He didn't hide anything from him. Then Eli said, "He is the Lord. Let him do what he thinks is best."

19 As Samuel grew up, the LORD was with him. He made everything Samuel said come true.

20 So all of the people of Israel recognized that Samuel really was a prophet of the Lord. Everyone from Dan all the way to Beersheba knew it.

21 The LORD continued to appear at Shiloh. There he made himself known to Samuel through the messages he gave him.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 puer autem Samuhel ministrabat Domino coram Heli et sermo Domini erat pretiosus in diebus illis non erat visio manifesta

2 factum est ergo in die quadam Heli iacebat in loco suo et oculi eius caligaverant nec poterat videre

3 lucerna Dei antequam extingueretur Samuhel autem dormiebat in templo Domini ubi erat arca Dei

4 et vocavit Dominus Samuhel qui respondens ait ecce ego

5 et cucurrit ad Heli et dixit ecce ego vocasti enim me qui dixit non vocavi revertere dormi et abiit et dormivit

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

7 porro Samuhel necdum sciebat Dominum neque revelatus fuerat ei sermo Domini

8 et adiecit Dominus et vocavit adhuc Samuhel tertio qui consurgens abiit ad Heli

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

10 et venit Dominus et stetit et vocavit sicut vocaverat secundo Samuhel Samuhel et ait Samuhel loquere quia audit servus tuus

11 et dixit Dominus ad Samuhel ecce ego facio verbum in Israhel quod quicumque audierit tinnient ambae aures eius

12 in die illo suscitabo adversum Heli omnia quae locutus sum super domum eius incipiam et conplebo

13 praedixi enim ei quod iudicaturus essem domum eius in aeternum propter iniquitatem eo quod noverat indigne agere filios suos et non corripuit eos

14 idcirco iuravi domui Heli quod non expietur iniquitas domus eius victimis et muneribus usque in aeternum

15 dormivit autem Samuhel usque mane aperuitque ostia domus Domini et Samuhel timebat indicare visionem Heli

16 vocavit ergo Heli Samuhelem et dixit Samuhel fili mi qui respondens ait praesto sum

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

18 indicavit itaque ei Samuhel universos sermones et non abscondit ab eo et ille respondit Dominus est quod bonum est in oculis suis faciat

19 crevit autem Samuhel et Dominus erat cum eo et non cecidit ex omnibus verbis eius in terram

20 et cognovit universus Israhel a Dan usque Bersabee quod fidelis Samuhel propheta esset Domini

21 et addidit Dominus ut appareret in Silo quoniam revelatus fuerat Dominus Samuheli in Silo iuxta verbum Domini et evenit sermo Samuhelis universo Israheli
