1 Samuel 3
Zürcher Bibel 1931
1DER Knabe Samuel nun diente dem Herrn vor Eli. In jenen Tagen aber waren Offenbarungen des Herrn selten; Gesichte waren nicht häufig.
2Zu jener Zeit begab sich folgendes: Während Eli an seinem Orte schlief und die Lampe Gottes noch nicht erloschen war - Elis Augen aber hatten angefangen schwach zu werden, sodass er nicht mehr sehen konnte - (a) 2Mo 27:20
3und während Samuel im Tempel des Herrn schlief, wo die Lade Gottes war,
4da rief der Herr: Samuel! Samuel! Er antwortete: Hier bin ich!
5lief zu Eli und sprach: Hier bin ich! du hast mich gerufen. Er aber sprach: Ich habe nicht gerufen. Lege dich wieder schlafen. Und er ging und legte sich schlafen.
6Der Herr aber rief abermal: Samuel! Und Samuel stand auf, ging zu Eli und sprach: Hier bin ich! du hast mich gerufen. Er aber sprach: Ich habe nicht gerufen, mein Sohn. Lege dich wieder schlafen.
7Aber Samuel kannte den Herrn noch nicht, und eine Offenbarung des Herrn war ihm noch nicht zuteil geworden.
8Da rief der Herr den Samuel zum dritten Male; und er stand auf, ging zu Eli und sprach: Hier bin ich! du hast mich gerufen. Nun merkte Eli, dass der Herr den Knaben rief.
9Und Eli sprach zu Samuel: Geh, lege dich schlafen; und wenn er dich ruft, so sprich: Rede, Herr, dein Knecht hört. Da ging Samuel hin und legte sich an seinem Orte schlafen.
10Da kam der Herr, trat herzu und rief wie zuvor: Samuel! Samuel! Und Samuel sprach: Rede, dein Knecht hört.
11Und der Herr sprach zu Samuel: Siehe, ich will in Israel etwas tun, dass jedem, der es hört, beide Ohren gellen werden.
12An jenem Tage will ich an Eli alles in Erfüllung gehen lassen, was ich über sein Haus geredet habe, von Anfang bis zu Ende. (a) 1Sa 2:31-34
13So tue ihm nun kund, dass ich sein Haus auf ewig verurteile, weil er wusste, dass seine Söhne Gott lästern, und ihnen doch nicht wehrte.
14Und darum habe ich dem Hause Elis geschworen: Fürwahr, die Schuld des Hauses Elis lässt sich nie und nimmer sühnen, weder durch Schlachtopfer noch durch Speisopfer.
15Und Samuel schlief weiter bis zum Morgen. In der Frühe dann öffnete er die Türe am Hause des Herrn. Samuel aber scheute sich, Eli das Gesicht kundzutun.
16Da rief Eli den Samuel und sprach: Samuel, mein Sohn! Er antwortete: Hier bin ich!
17Er sprach: Was hat er zu dir geredet? Verhehle mir's ja nicht! Gott tue dir dies und das, wenn du mir irgend etwas verhehlst von dem, was er zu dir geredet hat!
18Da tat ihm Samuel alles kund und verhehlte ihm nichts. Er aber sprach: Er ist der Herr; er tue, was ihm wohlgefällt! (a) Mt 6:10
19Samuel aber wuchs heran, und der Herr war mit ihm und liess keines von allen seinen Worten auf die Erde fallen. (1) d.h. Gott liess kein Wort Samuels unerfüllt.
20Und ganz Israel, von Dan bis Beerseba, erkannte, dass Samuel damit betraut war, Prophet des Herrn zu sein.
21Und der Herr fuhr fort, in Silo zu erscheinen; denn der Herr offenbarte sich Samuel. Eli aber war sehr alt geworden, und der Wandel seiner Söhne vor dem Herrn wurde immer schlechter.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y EL joven Samuel ministraba á Jehová delante de Eli: y la palabra de Jehová era de estima en aquellos días; no había visión manifiesta.
2Y aconteció un día, que estando Eli acostado en su aposento, cuando sus ojos comenzaban á oscurecerse, que no podía ver,
3Samuel estaba durmiendo en el templo de Jehová, donde el arca de Dios estaba: y antes que la lámpara de Dios fuese apagada,
4Jehová llamó á Samuel; y él respondió: Heme aquí.
5Y corriendo luego á Eli, dijo: Heme aquí; ¿para qué me llamaste? Y Eli le dijo: Yo no he llamado; vuélvete á acostar. Y él se volvió, y acostóse.
6Y Jehová volvió á llamar otra vez á Samuel. Y levantándose Samuel vino á Eli, y dijo: Heme aquí; ¿para qué me has llamado? Y él dijo: Hijo mío, yo no he llamado; vuelve, y acuéstate.
7Y Samuel no había conocido aún á Jehová, ni la palabra de Jehová le había sido revelada.
8Jehová pues llamó la tercera vez á Samuel. Y él levantándose vino á Eli, y dijo: Heme aquí; ¿para qué me has llamado? Entonces entendió Eli que Jehová llamaba al joven.
9Y dijo Eli á Samuel: Ve, y acuéstate: y si te llamare, dirás: Habla, Jehová, que tu siervo oye. Así se fué Samuel, y acostóse en su lugar.
10Y vino Jehová, y paróse, y llamó como las otras veces: ¡Samuel, Samuel! Entonces Samuel dijo: Habla, que tu siervo oye.
11Y Jehová dijo á Samuel: He aquí haré yo una cosa en Israel, que á quien la oyere, le retiñirán ambos oídos.
12Aquel día yo despertaré contra Eli todas las cosas que he dicho sobre su casa. En comenzando, acabaré también.
13Y mostraréle que yo juzgaré su casa para siempre, por la iniquidad que él sabe; porque sus hijos se han envilecido, y él no los ha estorbado.
14Y por tanto yo he jurado á la casa de Eli, que la iniquidad de la casa de Eli no será expiada jamás, ni con sacrificios ni con presentes.
15Y Samuel estuvo acostado hasta la mañana, y abrió las puertas de la casa de Jehová. Y Samuel temía descubrir la visión á Eli.
16Llamando pues Eli á Samuel, díjole: Hijo mío, Samuel. Y él respondió: Heme aquí.
17Y dijo: ¿Qué es la palabra que te habló Jehová?; ruégote que no me la encubras: así te haga Dios y así te añada, si me encubrieres palabra de todo lo que habló contigo.
18Y Samuel se lo manifestó todo, sin encubrirle nada. Entonces él dijo: Jehová es; haga lo que bien le pareciere.
19Y Samuel creció, y Jehová fué con él, y no dejó caer á tierra ninguna de sus palabras.
20Y conoció todo Israel desde Dan hasta Beer-sebah, que Samuel era fiel profeta de Jehová.
21Así tornó Jehová á aparecer en Silo: porque Jehová se manifestó á Samuel en Silo con palabra de Jehová.
King James Version
1And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision.
2And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see;
3And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep;
4That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.
5And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down.
6And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again.
7Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him.
8And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.
9Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
10And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.
11And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
12In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end.
13For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.
14And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever.
15And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to shew Eli the vision.
16Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I.
17And he said, What is the thing that the Lord hath said unto thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide any thing from me of all the things that he said unto thee.
18And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is the LORD: let him do what seemeth him good.
19And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.
20And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.
21And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.
World English Bible
1The child Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli. The LORD’s word was rare in those days. There were not many visions, then.
2At that time, when Eli was laid down in his place (now his eyes had begun to grow dim, so that he could not see),
3and God’s lamp hadn’t yet gone out, and Samuel had laid down in the LORD’s temple where God’s ark was,
4The LORD called Samuel. He said, “Here I am.”
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.
6The LORD 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.”
7Now Samuel didn’t yet know the LORD, neither was the LORD’s word yet revealed to him.
8The LORD called Samuel again the third time. He arose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; for you called me.” Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.
9Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down. It shall be, if he calls you, that you shall say, ‘Speak, LORD; for your servant hears.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
10The LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel said, “Speak; for your servant hears.”
11The LORD said to Samuel, “Behold, I will do a thing in Israel at which both the ears of everyone who hears it will tingle.
12In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even to the end.
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.
14Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be removed with sacrifice or offering forever.”
15Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the LORD’s house. Samuel was afraid to show Eli the vision.
16Then Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son!” He said, “Here I am.”
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.”
18Samuel told him every bit, and hid nothing from him. He said, “It is the LORD. Let him do what seems good to him.”
19Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground.
20All Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.
21The LORD appeared again in Shiloh; for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the LORD’s word.
