The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 Forsooth the child Samuel ministered to the Lord before Eli, and the word of the Lord was precious; in those days was none open revelation (for in those days there was no open revelation).
1
puer autem Samuhel ministrabat Domino coram Heli et sermo Domini erat pretiosus in diebus illis non erat visio manifesta
2 Therefore it was done in a day, Eli lay in his bed, and his eyes dimmed, and he might not see; (And so it was done one night, when Eli lay on his bed, and his eyes had dimmed, and he could not see;)
2
factum est ergo in die quadam Heli iacebat in loco suo et oculi eius caligaverant nec poterat videre
3 the lantern of the Lord was not yet quenched. And Samuel slept in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was. (and Samuel also slept in the Temple of the Lord, where the Ark of God was. And one morning, before that the lantern of God was quenched,)
3
lucerna Dei antequam extingueretur Samuhel autem dormiebat in templo Domini ubi erat arca Dei
4 And the Lord called Samuel; and he answered and said, Lo! I./Lo! I am ready. (the Lord called to Samuel; and he answered and said, Lo! I am here.)
4
et vocavit Dominus Samuhel qui respondens ait ecce ego
5 And he ran to Eli, and said to him, Lo! I; for thou calledest me. And Eli said, I called not thee; turn thou again and sleep. And he went and slept. (And he ran to Eli, and said to him, Lo! I am here; for thou hast called me. And Eli said, I did not call thee; return thou, and go to sleep. And so he went and slept again.)
5
et cucurrit ad Heli et dixit ecce ego vocasti enim me qui dixit non vocavi revertere dormi et abiit et dormivit
6 And the Lord added again to call Samuel; and Samuel rose (up), and went to Eli, and said, Lo! I (am) here; for thou calledest me. And Eli answered, I called not thee, my son; turn thou again and sleep (And Eli answered, I did not call thee, my son; return thou, and go back to sleep).
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 Forsooth Samuel knew not yet the Lord, neither the word of the Lord was showed to him. (For Samuel did not yet know the Lord, and the word of the Lord was not yet shown to him.)
7
porro Samuhel necdum sciebat Dominum neque revelatus fuerat ei sermo Domini
8 And the Lord added, and called yet Samuel the third time; the which rose up and went to Eli, and said, Lo! I; for thou calledest me. Then Eli understood, that the Lord had called the child; (And the Lord added, and called to Samuel yet the third time; and he rose up and went to Eli, and said, Lo! I am here; for thou hast called me. Then Eli understood, that the Lord had called the child;)
8
et adiecit Dominus et vocavit adhuc Samuhel tertio qui consurgens abiit ad Heli
9 and Eli said to Samuel, Go thou and sleep; and if he calleth thee afterward, thou shalt say, Speak thou, Lord, for thy servant heareth. Then Samuel went and slept in his place.
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 And the Lord came, and stood, and called as he had called the second time (and called to him as he had called the other times, saying), Samuel, Samuel. And Samuel said, Speak thou, Lord, for thy servant heareth.
10
et venit Dominus et stetit et vocavit sicut vocaverat secundo Samuhel Samuhel et ait Samuhel loquere quia audit servus tuus
11 And the Lord said to Samuel, Lo! I (shall) make a word, that is, (I shall do) a thing signified by a word, in Israel, which word whoever shall hear, both his ears shall ring, that is, he shall be astonished for wonder and dread.
11
et dixit Dominus ad Samuhel ecce ego facio verbum in Israhel quod quicumque audierit tinnient ambae aures eius
12 In that day I shall raise up against Eli all (the) things that I have spoken upon his house; I shall begin (it), and I shall end (it).
12
in die illo suscitabo adversum Heli omnia quae locutus sum super domum eius incipiam et conplebo
13 For I before-said to him, that I should deem his house without end for the wickedness thereof; for he knew, that his sons did unworthily, and he chastised not them. (For I said to him before, that I would judge his family forevermore for its wickedness; and he knoweth, that his sons have done unworthily, and yet he hath not chastised them.)
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 Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli, that the wickedness of his family, or his house, shall not be cleansed with sacrifices and gifts till into without end.
14
idcirco iuravi domui Heli quod non expietur iniquitas domus eius victimis et muneribus usque in aeternum
15 And then Samuel slept till the morrowtide, and he opened the doors of the house of the Lord; and Samuel dreaded to show the revelation to Eli.
15
dormivit autem Samuhel usque mane aperuitque ostia domus Domini et Samuhel timebat indicare visionem Heli
16 Therefore Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered and said, I am ready (And he answered, I am here).
16
vocavit ergo Heli Samuhelem et dixit Samuhel fili mi qui respondens ait praesto sum
17 And Eli asked him, What is the word that the Lord hath spoken to thee? I pray thee, hide it not from me; God do to thee these things, and increase these things, if thou hidest from me a word of all [the] words that be said to thee.
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 And Samuel showed to him all the words, and hid not (anything) from him. And Eli answered, He is the Lord; do he that, that is good in his eyes.
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 Forsooth Samuel increased (And so Samuel grew up), and the Lord was with him, and none of all his words felled into [the] earth, that is, (were) in vain, for all was (ful)filled.
19
crevit autem Samuhel et Dominus erat cum eo et non cecidit ex omnibus verbis eius in terram
20 And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew, that faithful Samuel was a prophet of the Lord. (And all Israel knew, from Dan to Beersheba, that truly Samuel was a prophet of the Lord.)
20
et cognovit universus Israhel a Dan usque Bersabee quod fidelis Samuhel propheta esset Domini
21 And the Lord added to appear again in Shiloh, for the Lord was showed to Samuel in Shiloh by the word 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
