사무엘상 3
Korean Living Bible
3 어린 사무엘이 엘리 밑에서 여호와를 섬기고 있을 당시에는 여호와의 말씀을 듣기가 매우 힘들었고 환상을 보는 일도 거의 없었다.
여호와께서 사무엘을 부르심
2 그러던 어느 날 밤 눈이 어두워 잘 보지 못하는 엘리는 자기 방에 가서 누웠고
3 사무엘은 법궤가 있는 여호와의 성전에 누웠으며 하나님의 등불은 아직 꺼지지 않았다.
4 이때 여호와께서 “사무엘아! 사무엘아!” 하고 부르셨다. 그러자 사무엘은 “예, 내가 여기 있습니다” 하며
5 엘리에게 달려가서 “나를 부르셨습니까? 내가 여기 왔습니다” 하고 말하였다. 그러나 엘리는 “내가 너를 부르지 않았다. 도로 가서 자리에 누워라” 하였다. 그래서 사무엘은 다시 잠자리에 들었다.
6 여호와께서 다시 “사무엘아!” 하고 부르셨다. 그래서 사무엘이 일어나 다시 엘리에게 가서 “나를 부르셨습니까? 내가 여기 왔습니다” 하자 엘리는 “얘야, 아니다. 내가 너를 부르지 않았다. 가서 자거라” 하고 대답하였다.
7 이때까지 사무엘은 여호와를 알지 못하였고 그분의 말씀을 들어 본 적도 없었다.
8 여호와께서 세 번째 사무엘을 부르셨다. 그래서 사무엘은 이번에도 벌떡 일어나 엘리에게 달려가서 “나를 부르셨습니까? 내가 여기 왔습니다” 하였다. 그제서야 엘리는 여호와께서 사무엘을 부르신 줄 알고
9 그에게 말하였다. “돌아가서 누워 있다가 다시 부르는 소리가 나면 ‘여호와여, 말씀하소서. 주의 종이 듣겠습니다’ 하고 말하여라.” 그래서 사무엘은 다시 가서 자리에 누웠다.
10 그러자 여호와께서 찾아오셔서 전과 같이 “사무엘아! 사무엘아!” 하고 부르셨다. 그래서 사무엘은 “말씀하소서. 주의 종이 듣겠습니다” 하고 대답하였다.
11 그때 여호와께서 사무엘에게 이렇게 말씀하셨다. “나는 이스라엘 사람들이 듣고 깜짝 놀랄 만한 일을 하려고 한다.
12 내가 엘리의 집안에 대하여 경고한 그 모든 일을 처음부터 끝까지 다 실행하고야 말겠다.
13 나는 엘리의 아들들이 행하는 악에 대해서 그 가족을 영원히 심판하겠다고 그에게 말해 주었으나 그는 자기 아들들이 저주받을 짓을 계속하는 것을 보고도 그것을 제지하지 않았다.
14 그래서 나는 엘리 집안의 죄가 제물이나 예물로써는 절대로 용서받지 못할 것이라고 그에게 선언하였다.”
15 사무엘은 아침까지 누워 있다가 평소 때와 같이 성전 문을 열었다. 그러나 그는 자기가 들은 말씀을 엘리에게 알리기를 두려워하였다.
16 그때 엘리가 사무엘을 불러 말하였다. “얘, 사무엘아.” “예, 내가 여기 있습니다.”
17 “여호와께서 너에게 무슨 말씀을 하셨느냐? 모든 것을 나에게 말하여라. 만일 네가 하나라도 숨기면 하나님이 너에게 엄한 벌을 내리시기 원한다.”
18 그래서 사무엘은 하나도 숨기지 않고 엘리에게 모든 것을 그대로 말하였다. 그러자 엘리가 “[a]이것은 여호와의 뜻이므로 그분이 좋을 대로 하실 것이다” 하였다.
19 사무엘이 점점 성장해 가자 여호와께서는 그와 함께 계셔서 사무엘이 말한 것이 다 이루어 지도록 하셨다.
20 그래서 단에서 브엘세바에 이르기까지 모든 이스라엘 사람들은 사무엘을 여호와께서 세우신 예언자로 알게 되었다.
21 그 후에도 여호와께서는 계속 실로에 나타나셔서 사무엘에게 말씀하셨는데 그때마다 사무엘은 그 모든 말씀을 이스라엘 백성에게 전해 주었다.

1 Samuel 3
King James Version
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.
1 Samuel 3
New King James Version
Samuel’s First Prophecy
3 Now (A)the boy Samuel ministered to the Lord before Eli. And (B)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 (C)so dim that he could not see, 3 and before (D)the lamp of God went out in the [a]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 (E)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, (F)‘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 (G)at which both ears of everyone who hears it will tingle. 12 In that day I will perform against Eli (H)all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end. 13 (I)For I have told him that I will (J)judge his house forever for the iniquity which he knows, because (K)his sons made themselves vile, and he (L)did not [b]restrain them. 14 And therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli’s house (M)shall not be atoned for by sacrifice or offering forever.”
15 So Samuel lay down until [c]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. (N)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, (O)“It is the Lord. Let Him do what seems good to Him.”
19 So Samuel (P)grew, and (Q)the Lord was with him (R)and let none of his words [d]fall to the ground. 20 And all Israel (S)from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel had been [e]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 (T)the word of the Lord.
