撒母耳记上 3
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
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。
撒母耳記上 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
主呼召撒母耳
3 小撒母耳跟著以利事奉耶和華。那時候，耶和華的話語稀少，異象也不多。 2 一天晚上，老眼昏花的以利正睡在自己的房裡。 3 上帝的燈還沒有熄滅，撒母耳睡在耶和華的殿內，即安放上帝約櫃的地方。 4 耶和華呼喚撒母耳，撒母耳答道：「我在這裡！」 5 他跑到以利跟前，說：「我來了，你叫我嗎？」以利說：「我沒有叫你，你去睡吧。」於是，他就回去睡覺。 6 耶和華又呼喚撒母耳，撒母耳起來到以利跟前，說：「我來了，你叫我嗎？」以利答道：「孩子，我沒有叫你，回去睡吧。」 7 那時，撒母耳還不認識耶和華，耶和華的話還沒有向他顯明。 8 耶和華第三次呼喚他，撒母耳起來，到以利面前，說：「我來了，你叫我嗎？」這時候，以利才明白原來是耶和華在呼喚這孩子。 9 他就吩咐撒母耳說：「你回去睡吧，若再呼喚你，你就說，『耶和華啊，請吩咐，僕人恭聽。』」於是，撒母耳就回去睡下。 10 耶和華來站在那裡，再次像剛才一樣呼喚：「撒母耳！撒母耳！」撒母耳答道：「請吩咐，僕人恭聽。」 11 耶和華對撒母耳說：「我要在以色列做一件令人震驚的事。 12 到時候，我要應驗我說的有關以利家的一切預言。 13 我對以利說過我要永遠懲罰他家，因為他知道自己的兒子褻瀆我，卻沒有制止他們。 14 所以，我向以利家起誓說，『靠祭物或禮物絕不能贖去以利家的罪惡。』」
15 撒母耳在床上躺到天亮，然後起來打開耶和華的殿門。他不敢把耶和華的話告訴以利。 16 以利叫他：「撒母耳，我的孩子。」撒母耳答道：「我在這裡。」 17 以利說：「耶和華對你說了什麼？你不要向我隱瞞。如果你隱瞞一句，願上帝重重地懲罰你。」
18 撒母耳就一五一十地告訴了他。以利說：「祂是耶和華，祂看怎樣好，就怎樣行吧。」 19 撒母耳漸漸長大，耶和華與他同在，使他所說的話沒有一句落空。 20 從但到別示巴，全以色列的人都知道撒母耳被立為耶和華的先知。 21 耶和華繼續在示羅顯現，用自己的話啟示撒母耳。撒母耳把耶和華的話傳遍了以色列。
1 Samuel 3
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
3 Now the child Samuel ministered to the Lord before Heli, and the word of the Lord was precious in those days, there was no manifest vision.
2 And it came to pass one day when Heli lay in his place, and his eyes were grown dim, that he could not see:
3 Before the lamp of God went out, Samuel slept in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was.
4 And the Lord called Samuel. And he answered: Here am I.
5 And he ran to Heli and said: Here am I: for thou didst call me. He said: I did not call: go back and sleep. And he went and slept.
6 And the Lord called Samuel again. And Samuel arose and went to Heli, and said: Here am I: for thou calledst me. He answered: I did not call thee, my son: return and sleep.
7 Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, neither had the word of the Lord been revealed to him.
8 And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. And he arose up and went to Heli.
9 And said: Here am I: for thou didst call me. Then Heli understood that the Lord called the child, and he said to Samuel: Go, and sleep: and if he shall call thee any more, thou shalt say: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and slept in his place.
10 And the Lord came and stood: and he called, as he had called the other times: Samuel, Samuel. And Samuel said: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth.
11 And the Lord said to Samuel: Behold I do a thing in Israel: and whosoever shall hear it, both his ears shall tingle.
12 In that day I will raise up against Heli all the things I have spoken concerning his house: I will begin, and I will make an end.
13 For I have foretold unto him, that I will judge his house for ever, for iniquity, because he knew that his sons did wickedly, and did not chastise them.
14 Therefore have I sworn to the house of Heli, that the iniquity of his house shall not be expiated with victims nor offerings for ever.
15 And Samuel slept till morning, and opened the doors of the house of the Lord. And Samuel feared to tell the vision to Heli.
16 Then Heli called Samuel, and said: Samuel, my son. And he answered: Here am I.
17 And he asked him: What is the word that the Lord hath spoken to thee? I beseech thee hide it not from me. May God do so and so to thee, and add so and so, if thou hide from me one word of all that were said to thee.
18 So Samuel told him all the words, and did not hide them from him. And he answered: It is the Lord: let him do what is good in his sight.
19 And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and not one of his words fell to the ground.
20 And all Israel from Dan to Bersabee, knew that Samuel was a faithful prophet of the Lord.
21 And the Lord again appeared in Silo, for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Silo, according to the word of the Lord. And the word of Samuel came to pass to all Israel.
