撒母耳记上 2:12-4:1
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)

以利二子之劣行

12 以利的两个儿子是恶人，不认识耶和华。 13 这二祭司待百姓是这样的规矩：凡有人献祭，正煮肉的时候，祭司的仆人就来，手拿三齿的叉子， 14 将叉子往罐里，或鼎里，或釜里，或锅里一插，插上来的肉，祭司都取了去。凡上到示罗的以色列人，他们都是这样看待。 15 又在未烧脂油以前，祭司的仆人就来对献祭的人说：“将肉给祭司，叫他烤吧。他不要煮过的，要生的。” 16 献祭的人若说：“必须先烧脂油，然后你可以随意取肉”，仆人就说：“你立时给我，不然我便抢去。” 17 如此，这二少年人的罪在耶和华面前甚重了，因为他们藐视耶和华的祭物[a]。

18 那时，撒母耳还是孩子，穿着细麻布的以弗得，侍立在耶和华面前。 19 他母亲每年为他做一件小外袍，同着丈夫上来献年祭的时候带来给他。 20 以利为以利加拿和他的妻祝福，说：“愿耶和华由这妇人再赐你后裔，代替你从耶和华求来的孩子！”他们就回本乡去了。 21 耶和华眷顾哈拿，她就怀孕生了三个儿子、两个女儿。那孩子撒母耳在耶和华面前渐渐长大。

22 以利年甚老迈，听见他两个儿子待以色列众人的事，又听见他们与会幕门前伺候的妇人苟合， 23 他就对他们说：“你们为何行这样的事呢？我从这众百姓听见你们的恶行。 24 我儿啊，不可这样！我听见你们的风声不好，你们使耶和华的百姓犯了罪！ 25 人若得罪人，有士师审判他；人若得罪耶和华，谁能为他祈求呢？”然而他们还是不听父亲的话，因为耶和华想要杀他们。 26 孩子撒母耳渐渐长大，耶和华与人越发喜爱他。

预言以利家必遘奇祸

27 有神人来见以利，对他说：“耶和华如此说：‘你祖父在埃及法老家做奴仆的时候，我不是向他们显现吗？ 28 在以色列众支派中，我不是拣选人做我的祭司，使他烧香，在我坛上献祭，在我面前穿以弗得，又将以色列人所献的火祭都赐给你父家吗？ 29 我所吩咐献在我居所的祭物，你们为何践踏，尊重你的儿子过于尊重我，将我民以色列所献美好的祭物肥己呢？’ 30 因此，耶和华以色列的神说：‘我曾说，你和你父家必永远行在我面前，现在我却说，决不容你们这样行。因为尊重我的，我必重看他；藐视我的，他必被轻视。 31 日子必到，我要折断你的膀臂和你父家的膀臂，使你家中没有一个老年人。 32 在神使以色列人享福的时候，你必看见我居所的败落；在你家中，必永远没有一个老年人。 33 我必不从我坛前灭尽你家中的人，那未灭的必使你眼目干瘪，心中忧伤。你家中所生的人都必死在中年。 34 你的两个儿子何弗尼、非尼哈所遭遇的事可做你的证据，他们二人必一日同死。 35 我要为自己立一个忠心的祭司，他必照我的心意而行。我要为他建立坚固的家，他必永远行在我的受膏者面前。 36 你家所剩下的人都必来叩拜他，求块银子，求个饼，说：“求你赐我祭司的职分，好叫我得点饼吃。”’”

撒母耳初得启示

3 童子撒母耳在以利面前侍奉耶和华。当那些日子，耶和华的言语稀少，不常有默示。 2 一日，以利睡卧在自己的地方。他眼目昏花，看不分明。 3 神的灯在神耶和华殿内约柜那里，还没有熄灭，撒母耳已经睡了。 4 耶和华呼唤撒母耳，撒母耳说：“我在这里。” 5 就跑到以利那里，说：“你呼唤我？我在这里。”以利回答说：“我没有呼唤你，你去睡吧。”他就去睡了。 6 耶和华又呼唤撒母耳，撒母耳起来，到以利那里，说：“你呼唤我？我在这里。”以利回答说：“我的儿，我没有呼唤你，你去睡吧。” 7 那时撒母耳还未认识耶和华，也未得耶和华的默示。 8 耶和华第三次呼唤撒母耳，撒母耳起来，到以利那里，说：“你又呼唤我，我在这里。”以利才明白是耶和华呼唤童子。 9 因此以利对撒母耳说：“你仍去睡吧。若再呼唤你，你就说：‘耶和华啊，请说，仆人敬听。’”撒母耳就去，仍睡在原处。

10 耶和华又来站着，像前三次呼唤说：“撒母耳啊！撒母耳啊！”撒母耳回答说：“请说，仆人敬听。” 11 耶和华对撒母耳说：“我在以色列中必行一件事，叫听见的人都必耳鸣。 12 我指着以利家所说的话，到了时候，我必始终应验在以利身上。 13 我曾告诉他必永远降罚于他的家，因他知道儿子作孽，自招咒诅，却不禁止他们。 14 所以我向以利家起誓说：以利家的罪孽，虽献祭奉礼物，永不能得赎去。”

15 撒母耳睡到天亮，就开了耶和华的殿门，不敢将默示告诉以利。 16 以利呼唤撒母耳说：“我儿撒母耳啊！”撒母耳回答说：“我在这里。” 17 以利说：“耶和华对你说什么，你不要向我隐瞒。你若将神对你所说的隐瞒一句，愿他重重地降罚于你！” 18 撒母耳就把一切话都告诉了以利，并没有隐瞒。以利说：“这是出于耶和华，愿他凭自己的意旨而行。”

立撒母耳为先知

19 撒母耳长大了，耶和华与他同在，使他所说的话一句都不落空。 20 从但到别是巴所有的以色列人，都知道耶和华立撒母耳为先知。 21 耶和华又在示罗显现，因为耶和华将自己的话默示撒母耳，撒母耳就把这话传遍以色列地。

非利士人战败以色列人

4 以色列人出去与非利士人打仗，安营在以便以谢，非利士人安营在亚弗。

1 Samuel 2:12-4:1
New International Version

Eli’s Wicked Sons

12 Eli’s sons were scoundrels; they had no regard(A) for the Lord. 13 Now it was the practice(B) of the priests that, whenever any of the people offered a sacrifice, the priest’s servant would come with a three-pronged fork in his hand while the meat(C) was being boiled 14 and would plunge the fork into the pan or kettle or caldron or pot. Whatever the fork brought up the priest would take for himself. This is how they treated all the Israelites who came to Shiloh. 15 But even before the fat was burned, the priest’s servant would come and say to the person who was sacrificing, “Give the priest some meat to roast; he won’t accept boiled meat from you, but only raw.”

16 If the person said to him, “Let the fat(D) be burned first, and then take whatever you want,” the servant would answer, “No, hand it over now; if you don’t, I’ll take it by force.”

17 This sin of the young men was very great in the Lord’s sight, for they[a] were treating the Lord’s offering with contempt.(E)

18 But Samuel was ministering(F) before the Lord—a boy wearing a linen ephod.(G) 19 Each year his mother made him a little robe and took it to him when she went up with her husband to offer the annual(H) sacrifice. 20 Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, saying, “May the Lord give you children by this woman to take the place of the one she prayed(I) for and gave to[b] the Lord.” Then they would go home. 21 And the Lord was gracious to Hannah;(J) she gave birth to three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile, the boy Samuel grew(K) up in the presence of the Lord.

22 Now Eli, who was very old, heard about everything(L) his sons were doing to all Israel and how they slept with the women(M) who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 23 So he said to them, “Why do you do such things? I hear from all the people about these wicked deeds of yours. 24 No, my sons; the report I hear spreading among the Lord’s people is not good. 25 If one person sins against another, God[c] may mediate for the offender; but if anyone sins against the Lord, who will(N) intercede(O) for them?” His sons, however, did not listen to their father’s rebuke, for it was the Lord’s will to put them to death.

26 And the boy Samuel continued to grow(P) in stature and in favor with the Lord and with people.(Q)

Prophecy Against the House of Eli

27 Now a man of God(R) came to Eli and said to him, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Did I not clearly reveal myself to your ancestor’s family when they were in Egypt under Pharaoh? 28 I chose(S) your ancestor out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense,(T) and to wear an ephod(U) in my presence. I also gave your ancestor’s family all the food offerings(V) presented by the Israelites. 29 Why do you[d] scorn my sacrifice and offering(W) that I prescribed for my dwelling?(X) Why do you honor your sons more than me by fattening yourselves on the choice parts of every offering made by my people Israel?’

30 “Therefore the Lord, the God of Israel, declares: ‘I promised that members of your family would minister before me forever.(Y)’ But now the Lord declares: ‘Far be it from me! Those who honor me I will honor,(Z) but those who despise(AA) me will be disdained.(AB) 31 The time is coming when I will cut short your strength and the strength of your priestly house, so that no one in it will reach old age,(AC) 32 and you will see distress(AD) in my dwelling. Although good will be done to Israel, no one in your family line will ever reach old age.(AE) 33 Every one of you that I do not cut off from serving at my altar I will spare only to destroy your sight and sap your strength, and all your descendants(AF) will die in the prime of life.

34 “‘And what happens to your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, will be a sign(AG) to you—they will both die(AH) on the same day.(AI) 35 I will raise up for myself a faithful priest,(AJ) who will do according to what is in my heart and mind. I will firmly establish his priestly house, and they will minister before my anointed(AK) one always. 36 Then everyone left in your family line will come and bow down before him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread and plead,(AL) “Appoint me to some priestly office so I can have food to eat.(AM)”’”

The Lord Calls Samuel

3 The boy Samuel ministered(AN) before the Lord under Eli. In those days the word of the Lord was rare;(AO) there were not many visions.(AP)

2 One night Eli, whose eyes(AQ) were becoming so weak that he could barely see,(AR) was lying down in his usual place. 3 The lamp(AS) of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the house(AT) of the Lord, where the ark(AU) of God was. 4 Then the Lord called Samuel.

Samuel answered, “Here I am.(AV)” 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 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 Now Samuel did not yet know(AW) the Lord: The word(AX) of the Lord had not yet been revealed(AY) to him.

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 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 The Lord came and stood there, calling as at the other times, “Samuel! Samuel!(AZ)”

Then Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”

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.(BA) 12 At that time I will carry out against Eli everything(BB) I spoke against his family—from beginning to end. 13 For I told him that I would judge his family forever because of the sin he knew about; his sons blasphemed God,[e] and he failed to restrain(BC) them. 14 Therefore I swore to the house of Eli, ‘The guilt of Eli’s house will never be atoned(BD) for by sacrifice or offering.’”

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 but Eli called him and said, “Samuel, my son.”

Samuel answered, “Here I am.”

17 “What was it he said to you?” Eli asked. “Do not hide(BE) it from me. May God deal with you, be it ever so severely,(BF) if you hide from me anything he told you.” 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.”(BG)

19 The Lord was with(BH) Samuel as he grew(BI) up, and he let none(BJ) of Samuel’s words fall to the ground. 20 And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba(BK) recognized that Samuel was attested as a prophet of the Lord.(BL) 21 The Lord continued to appear at Shiloh, and there he revealed(BM) himself to Samuel through his word.

4 And Samuel’s word came to all Israel.

The Philistines Capture the Ark

Now the Israelites went out to fight against the Philistines. The Israelites camped at Ebenezer,(BN) and the Philistines at Aphek.(BO)

1 Samuel 2:12-4:1
King James Version

12 Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the Lord.

13 And the priest's custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand;

14 And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither.

15 Also before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw.

16 And if any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, Nay; but thou shalt give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force.

17 Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord: for men abhorred the offering of the Lord.

18 But Samuel ministered before the Lord, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.

19 Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.

20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The Lord give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the Lord. And they went unto their own home.

21 And the Lord visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the Lord.

22 Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

23 And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.

24 Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the Lord's people to transgress.

25 If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the Lord would slay them.

26 And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the Lord, and also with men.

27 And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?

28 And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?

29 Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?

30 Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the Lord saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

31 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house.

32 And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever.

33 And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age.

34 And this shall be a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.

35 And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever.

36 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thine house shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.

3 And 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.

2 And 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;

3 And 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;

4 That the Lord called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.

5 And 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.

6 And 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.

7 Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, neither was the word of the Lord yet revealed unto him.

8 And 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.

9 Therefore 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.

10 And the Lord came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.

11 And 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.

12 In 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.

13 For 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.

14 And 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.

15 And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the Lord. And Samuel feared to shew Eli the vision.

16 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I.

17 And 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.

18 And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is the Lord: let him do what seemeth him good.

19 And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.

20 And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the Lord.

21 And the Lord appeared again in Shiloh: for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the Lord.

4 And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Ebenezer: and the Philistines pitched in Aphek.

The Wicked Sons of Eli

12 Now the sons of Eli were (A)corrupt;[a] (B)they did not know the Lord. 13 And the priests’ custom with the people was that when any man offered a sacrifice, the priest’s servant would come with a three-pronged fleshhook in his hand while the meat was boiling. 14 Then he would thrust it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; and the priest would take for himself all that the fleshhook brought up. So they did in (C)Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there. 15 Also, before they (D)burned the fat, the priest’s servant would come and say to the man who sacrificed, “Give meat for roasting to the priest, for he will not take boiled meat from you, but raw.”

16 And if the man said to him, “They should really burn the fat first; then you may take as much as your heart desires,” he would then answer him, “No, but you must give it now; and if not, I will take it by force.”

17 Therefore the sin of the young men was very great (E)before the Lord, for men (F)abhorred[b] the offering of the Lord.

Samuel’s Childhood Ministry

18 (G)But Samuel ministered before the Lord, even as a child, (H)wearing a linen ephod. 19 Moreover his mother used to make him a little robe, and bring it to him year by year when she (I)came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice. 20 And Eli (J)would bless Elkanah and his wife, and say, “The Lord give you descendants from this woman for the [c]loan that was (K)given to the Lord.” Then they would go to their own home.

21 And the Lord (L)visited[d] Hannah, so that she conceived and bore three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile the child Samuel (M)grew before the Lord.

Prophecy Against Eli’s Household

22 Now Eli was very old; and he heard everything his sons did to all Israel, [e]and how they lay with (N)the women who assembled at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 23 So he said to them, “Why do you do such things? For I hear of your evil dealings from all the people. 24 No, my sons! For it is not a good report that I hear. You make the Lord’s people transgress. 25 If one man sins against another, (O)God[f] will judge him. But if a man (P)sins against the Lord, who will intercede for him?” Nevertheless they did not heed the voice of their father, (Q)because the Lord desired to kill them.

26 And the child Samuel (R)grew in stature, and (S)in favor both with the Lord and men.

27 Then a (T)man of God came to Eli and said to him, “Thus says the Lord: (U)‘Did I not clearly reveal Myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh’s house? 28 Did I not (V)choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be My priest, to offer upon My altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod before Me? And (W)did I not give to the house of your father all the offerings of the children of Israel made by fire? 29 Why do you (X)kick at My sacrifice and My offering which I have commanded in My (Y)dwelling place, and honor your sons more than (Z)Me, to make yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of Israel My people?’ 30 Therefore the Lord God of Israel says: (AA)‘I said indeed that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever.’ But now the Lord says: (AB)‘Far be it from Me; for those who honor Me I will honor, and (AC)those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed. 31 Behold, (AD)the days are coming that I will cut off your [g]arm and the arm of your father’s house, so that there will not be an old man in your house. 32 And you will see an enemy in My dwelling place, despite all the good which God does for Israel. And there shall not be (AE)an old man in your house forever. 33 But any of your men whom I do not cut off from My altar shall consume your eyes and grieve your heart. And all the descendants of your house shall die in the flower of their age. 34 Now this shall be (AF)a sign to you that will come upon your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: (AG)in one day they shall die, both of them. 35 Then (AH)I will raise up for Myself a faithful priest who shall do according to what is in My heart and in My mind. (AI)I will build him a sure house, and he shall walk before (AJ)My anointed forever. 36 (AK)And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left in your house will come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and say, “Please, [h]put me in one of the priestly positions, that I may eat a piece of bread.” ’ ”

Samuel’s First Prophecy

3 Now (AL)the boy Samuel ministered to the Lord before Eli. And (AM)the word of the Lord was rare in those days; there was no widespread revelation. 2 And it came to pass at that time, while Eli was lying down in his place, and when his eyes had begun to grow (AN)so dim that he could not see, 3 and before (AO)the lamp of God went out in the [i]tabernacle of the Lord where the ark of God was, and while Samuel was lying down, 4 that the Lord called Samuel. And he answered, “Here I am!” 5 So he ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.”

And he said, “I did not call; lie down again.” And he went and lay down.

6 Then the Lord called yet again, “Samuel!”

So Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” He answered, “I did not call, my son; lie down again.” 7 (Now Samuel (AP)did not yet know the Lord, nor was the word of the Lord yet revealed to him.)

8 And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. So he arose and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you did call me.”

Then Eli perceived that the Lord had called the boy. 9 Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down; and it shall be, if He calls you, that you must say, (AQ)‘Speak, Lord, for Your servant hears.’ ” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

10 Now the Lord came and stood and called as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!”

And Samuel answered, “Speak, for Your servant hears.”

11 Then the Lord said to Samuel: “Behold, I will do something in Israel (AR)at which both ears of everyone who hears it will tingle. 12 In that day I will perform against Eli (AS)all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end. 13 (AT)For I have told him that I will (AU)judge his house forever for the iniquity which he knows, because (AV)his sons made themselves vile, and he (AW)did not [j]restrain them. 14 And therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli’s house (AX)shall not be atoned for by sacrifice or offering forever.”

15 So Samuel lay down until [k]morning, and opened the doors of the house of the Lord. And Samuel was afraid to tell Eli the vision. 16 Then Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son!”

He answered, “Here I am.”

17 And he said, “What is the word that the Lord spoke to you? Please do not hide it from me. (AY)God do so to you, and more also, if you hide anything from me of all the things that He said to you.” 18 Then Samuel told him everything, and hid nothing from him. And he said, (AZ)“It is the Lord. Let Him do what seems good to Him.”

19 So Samuel (BA)grew, and (BB)the Lord was with him (BC)and let none of his words [l]fall to the ground. 20 And all Israel (BD)from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel had been [m]established as a prophet of the Lord. 21 Then the Lord appeared again in Shiloh. For the Lord revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh by (BE)the word of the Lord.

The Death of Eli

4 And the word of Samuel came to all [n]Israel.

The Ark of God Captured

撒母耳记上 2:12-4:1
Chinese New Version (Simplified)

以利儿子的罪行

12 以利的两个儿子是无赖，不尊重耶和华， 13 也不理会当时祭司待人民的规矩。凡是有人献祭，在煮肉的时候，祭司的仆人就来，手里拿着三齿的叉， 14 把叉子插入煎盘里，或鼎里，或釜里，或锅里，叉子插上来的，祭司都拿去。所有到示罗来的以色列人，祭司都是这样待他们。 15 还有，在焚烧脂油以前，祭司的仆人就来，对献祭的人说：“把祭肉交给祭司烧烤吧，因为他不会向你要煮过的肉，单要生的。” 16 如果那人对仆人说：“必须先把脂油焚烧了，然后你才可以随意去拿。”他就说：“不可以，你现在就要给我，否则我就抢去。” 17 这样，那两个青年人在耶和华面前所犯的罪很大，因为他们藐视献给耶和华的祭物。

撒母耳在示罗事奉

18 那时，撒母耳还是个孩童，束着细麻布的以弗得，在耶和华面前事奉。 19 撒母耳的母亲每年为他做一件小外袍，她和丈夫一同上来献年祭的时候，就带来给他。 20 以利给以利加拿和他的妻子祝福，说：“愿耶和华从这妇人身上还给你后裔，代替你献给耶和华的孩子。”他们就回自己的地方去了。 21 耶和华眷顾哈拿，她再怀孕，先后生了三个儿子和两个女儿。那孩子撒母耳在耶和华面前，渐渐长大。

以利教训儿子

22 以利已经非常老了，听见自己的儿子对待以色列人的一切事，又听见他们与在会幕门口侍应的妇女同寝。 23 以利就对他们说：“你们为甚么作这些事？我亲自从众民那里听见了你们的恶行。 24 我儿啊，不要这样，因为我听见的消息很不好，你们使耶和华的子民违背律法。 25 如果有人得罪人，有官长（“官长”原文作“　神”）惩罚他；如果有人得罪耶和华，有谁为他求情呢？”他们却不听父亲的话，因为耶和华有意要杀他们。 26 那孩子撒母耳的身量，耶和华和众人对他的喜爱，都不断增长。

预言以利家遭祸

27 有一位神人来见以利，对他说：“耶和华这样说：‘你父家在埃及法老家为奴的时候，我不是向他们显现吗？ 28 我不是从以色列众支派中，选出他们作我的祭司，上我的坛烧香，在我面前穿以弗得吗？我不是把以色列人所献的火祭，都赐给了你的父家吗？ 29 你们为甚么轻视（“轻视”直译是“踢”）我所吩咐要为我居所献上的祭牲和礼物呢？（《马索拉文本》本句意思不明确）你为甚么尊重你的儿子过于尊重我，用我子民以色列所献一切最好的礼物自肥呢？’ 30 因此，耶和华以色列的　神说：‘我曾说：你的家和你的父家，必永远行在我面前。’现在耶和华却说：‘我决不容你们这样行了，因为尊重我的，我必尊重他；藐视我的，必受到轻视。 31 日子快到了，我要砍下你和你父亲的膀臂，使你家中再没有有权势的长者。 32 我赐给以色列人的一切福分，你必像一个对头，以嫉妒的眼光来看；而在你的家中，必永远再没有有权势的长者。 33 我必不从我的祭坛那里灭绝你家的人，免得你的眼睛昏花，心灵忧伤，但所有你家中增添的人都必像世人一样死去（按照《七十士译本》和《死海古卷》，“像世人一样死去”作“死在人的刀下”）。 34 你的两个儿子何弗尼和非尼哈所要遭遇的事，是给你的一个证据：他们二人必同日而死。 35 我要为自己兴起一位忠心的祭司，他必依照我的心意行事；我要为他建立一个稳固的家，他一生必行在我的受膏者面前。 36 你家中剩下的人，都要来向他下拜；求一个银币，一块饼，也要说：求你容我参与祭司的职务，使我可以有点饼吃。’”

耶和华呼召撒母耳

3 那孩子撒母耳在以利面前事奉耶和华，在那些日子，耶和华的言语稀少，异象也不常有。 2 有一天，以利躺卧在自己的地方，他的眼睛早已昏花，不能看得清楚了。 3 　神的灯还没有熄灭，撒母耳躺卧在耶和华的殿中，就是安放　神约柜的地方。 4 耶和华呼唤撒母耳，他说：“我在这里。” 5 他就跑到以利那里，说：“你呼唤我，我在这里。”以利说：“我没有呼唤你，回去睡吧。”他就回去睡了。 6 耶和华再次呼唤撒母耳，他就起来走到以利那里，说：“你呼唤我，我在这里。”以利说：“我儿，我没有呼唤你，回去睡吧。” 7 那时撒母耳还没有认识耶和华，因为耶和华的话还没有向他启示。 8 耶和华第三次呼唤撒母耳，他又起来，走到以利那里，说：“你呼唤我，我在这里。”以利就明白是耶和华呼唤这孩子。 9 因此以利对撒母耳说：“去睡吧！如果他呼唤你，你就说：‘耶和华啊！请说，仆人敬听。’”于是撒母耳回去，仍然睡在自己的地方。

10 耶和华又来站着，像前几次一样呼唤：“撒母耳，撒母耳！”他回答：“请说！仆人敬听。” 11 耶和华对撒母耳说：“看哪！我要在以色列中行一件事，听见的人，都必耳鸣； 12 在那日，我必在以利身上彻底实现我论到他的家所说的一切话。 13 我曾告诉他：‘我必按着他所知道的罪孽永远处罚他的家。这罪就是他的儿子自招咒诅，他也不责备他们。’ 14 所以我向以利家起了誓：‘以利家的罪孽永远不能用祭物或供物来买赎。’”

撒母耳将异象告诉以利

15 撒母耳睡到天亮，他就开了耶和华殿的门。但撒母耳不敢把异象告诉以利。 16 以利呼唤撒母耳，说：“我儿撒母耳！”他回答：“我在这里。” 17 以利说：“耶和华对你说了甚么话呢？你不要向我隐瞒，他对你所说的一切话，如果你向我隐瞒一句，愿　神对付你，并且加倍对付你。” 18 于是撒母耳把一切话都告诉了以利，一句也没有隐瞒。以利说：“他是耶和华，他看怎么好，就怎么行吧。”

撒母耳被立为先知

19 撒母耳渐渐长大，耶和华与他同在，使他所说的一切话，没有一句落空。 20 从但到别是巴，以色列人都知道撒母耳被耶和华确立为先知。 21 耶和华又在示罗显现，因为耶和华在示罗借着他的话向撒母耳启示自己。

以色列人战败

4 撒母耳的话传遍了以色列。那时，以色列人出去迎战非利士人，他们靠近以便以谢安营，非利士人却在亚弗安营。
