撒母耳记上 3
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
耶和華呼召撒母耳
3 那孩子撒母耳在以利面前事奉耶和華，在那些日子，耶和華的言語稀少，異象也不常有。 2 有一天，以利躺臥在自己的地方，他的眼睛早已昏花，不能看得清楚了。 3 神的燈還沒有熄滅，撒母耳躺臥在耶和華的殿中，就是安放 神約櫃的地方。 4 耶和華呼喚撒母耳，他說：“我在這裡。” 5 他就跑到以利那裡，說：“你呼喚我，我在這裡。”以利說：“我沒有呼喚你，回去睡吧。”他就回去睡了。 6 耶和華再次呼喚撒母耳，他就起來走到以利那裡，說：“你呼喚我，我在這裡。”以利說：“我兒，我沒有呼喚你，回去睡吧。” 7 那時撒母耳還沒有認識耶和華，因為耶和華的話還沒有向他啟示。 8 耶和華第三次呼喚撒母耳，他又起來，走到以利那裡，說：“你呼喚我，我在這裡。”以利就明白是耶和華呼喚這孩子。 9 因此以利對撒母耳說：“去睡吧！如果他呼喚你，你就說：‘耶和華啊！請說，僕人敬聽。’”於是撒母耳回去，仍然睡在自己的地方。
10 耶和華又來站著，像前幾次一樣呼喚：“撒母耳，撒母耳！”他回答：“請說！僕人敬聽。” 11 耶和華對撒母耳說：“看哪！我要在以色列中行一件事，聽見的人，都必耳鳴； 12 在那日，我必在以利身上徹底實現我論到他的家所說的一切話。 13 我曾告訴他：‘我必按著他所知道的罪孽永遠處罰他的家。這罪就是他的兒子自招咒詛，他也不責備他們。’ 14 所以我向以利家起了誓：‘以利家的罪孽永遠不能用祭物或供物來買贖。’”
撒母耳將異象告訴以利
15 撒母耳睡到天亮，他就開了耶和華殿的門。但撒母耳不敢把異象告訴以利。 16 以利呼喚撒母耳，說：“我兒撒母耳！”他回答：“我在這裡。” 17 以利說：“耶和華對你說了甚麼話呢？你不要向我隱瞞，他對你所說的一切話，如果你向我隱瞞一句，願 神對付你，並且加倍對付你。” 18 於是撒母耳把一切話都告訴了以利，一句也沒有隱瞞。以利說：“他是耶和華，他看怎麼好，就怎麼行吧。”
撒母耳被立為先知
19 撒母耳漸漸長大，耶和華與他同在，使他所說的一切話，沒有一句落空。 20 從但到別是巴，以色列人都知道撒母耳被耶和華確立為先知。 21 耶和華又在示羅顯現，因為耶和華在示羅藉著他的話向撒母耳啟示自己。
1 Samuel 3
English Standard Version
The Lord Calls Samuel
3 (A)Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the Lord in the presence of Eli. (B)And the word of the Lord was rare in those days; there was no frequent vision.
2 At that time Eli, (C)whose eyesight had begun to grow dim so that he could not see, was lying down in his own place. 3 (D)The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down (E)in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was.
4 Then the Lord called Samuel, and he said, “Here I am!” 5 and ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call; lie down again.” So he went and lay down.
6 And the Lord called again, “Samuel!” and Samuel arose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call, my son; lie down again.” 7 Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, and the word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him.
8 And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” Then Eli perceived that the Lord was calling the boy. 9 Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down, and if he calls you, you shall say, ‘Speak, Lord, for your servant hears.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
10 And the Lord came and stood, calling as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant hears.” 11 Then the Lord said to Samuel, “Behold, I am about to do a thing in Israel (F)at which the two ears of everyone who hears it will tingle. 12 On that day I will fulfill against Eli (G)all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end. 13 (H)And I declare to him that I am about to punish his house forever, for the iniquity that he knew, (I)because his sons were blaspheming God,[a] (J)and he did not restrain them. 14 Therefore I swear to the house of Eli (K)that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be atoned for by sacrifice or offering forever.”
15 Samuel lay until morning; then he opened the doors of the house of the Lord. And Samuel was afraid to tell the vision to Eli. 16 But Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son.” And he said, “Here I am.” 17 And Eli said, “What was it that he told you? Do not hide it from me. (L)May God do so to you and more also if you hide anything from me of all that he told you.” 18 So Samuel told him everything and hid nothing from him. And he said, (M)“It is the Lord. Let him do what seems good to him.”
19 (N)And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him (O)and let none of his words fall to the ground. 20 And all Israel (P)from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established as a prophet of the Lord. 21 And the Lord appeared again at Shiloh, for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel (Q)at Shiloh (R)by the word of the Lord.
