The Prophetic Call to Samuel

Now (A)the boy Samuel was attending to the service of the Lord before Eli. And (B)word from the Lord was rare in those days; [a]visions were infrequent.

But it happened at that time as Eli was lying down in his place (now (C)his eyesight had begun to be [b]poor and he could not see well), and (D)the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple of the Lord where the ark of God was, that the Lord called Samuel; and he said, “(E)Here I am.” Then he ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call, go back and lie down.” So he went and lay down. And the Lord called yet again, “Samuel!” So Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call, my son, go back and lie down.” (F)Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, nor had the word of the Lord yet been revealed to him. So the Lord called Samuel again for the third time. And he got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” Then Eli realized that the Lord was calling the boy. And Eli said to Samuel, “Go lie down, and it shall be if He calls you, that you shall say, ‘Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

10 Then the Lord came and stood, and called as at the other times: “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel said, “Speak, for Your servant is listening.” 11 Then the Lord said to Samuel, “Behold, (G)I am going to do a thing in Israel, and both ears of everyone who hears about it will ring. 12 On that day (H)I will carry out against Eli everything that I have spoken in regard to his house, from beginning to end. 13 For (I)I have told him that I am going to judge his house forever for (J)the wrongdoing that he knew, because (K)his sons were bringing a curse on themselves and (L)he did not rebuke them. 14 Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that (M)the wrongdoing of Eli’s house shall never be atoned for by sacrifice or offering.”

15 So Samuel lay down until morning. Then he (N)opened the doors of the house of the Lord. But Samuel was afraid to tell (O)the vision to Eli. 16 Then Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son.” And he said, “Here I am.” 17 He said, “What is the word that He spoke to you? Please do not hide it from me. (P)May God do the same to you, and more so, if you hide a single word from me of all the words that He spoke to you!” 18 So Samuel told him [c]everything and hid nothing from him. And he said, “(Q)He is the Lord; let Him do [d]what seems good to Him.”

19 Now (R)Samuel grew, and (S)the Lord was with him, and He (T)let none of his words [e]fail. 20 And all Israel (U)from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was confirmed as a prophet of the Lord. 21 And (V)the Lord appeared again at Shiloh, (W)because the Lord revealed Himself to Samuel at Shiloh by the word of the Lord.

The Lord Calls Samuel

The boy Samuel ministered(A) before the Lord under Eli. In those days the word of the Lord was rare;(B) there were not many visions.(C)

One night Eli, whose eyes(D) were becoming so weak that he could barely see,(E) was lying down in his usual place. The lamp(F) of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the house(G) of the Lord, where the ark(H) of God was. Then the Lord called Samuel.

Samuel answered, “Here I am.(I) 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.

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.”

Now Samuel did not yet know(J) the Lord: The word(K) of the Lord had not yet been revealed(L) to him.

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. 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!(M)

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.(N) 12 At that time I will carry out against Eli everything(O) 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,[a] and he failed to restrain(P) them. 14 Therefore I swore to the house of Eli, ‘The guilt of Eli’s house will never be atoned(Q) 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(R) it from me. May God deal with you, be it ever so severely,(S) 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.”(T)

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

The Prophetic Call to Samuel

Now the boy Samuel was attending to the service of the Lord [a]under the supervision of Eli. The word of the Lord was rare and precious in those days; visions [that is, new revelations of divine truth] were not widespread.

Yet it happened at that time, as Eli was lying down in his own place (now his eyesight had begun to grow dim and he could not see well). and the [oil] lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was, that the Lord called Samuel, and he answered, “Here I am.” He ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But Eli said, “I did not call you; lie down again.” So he went and lay down. Then the Lord called yet again, “Samuel!” So Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But Eli answered, “I did not call, my son; lie down again.” Now Samuel did not yet know [or personally experience] the Lord, and the word of the Lord was not yet revealed [directly] to him. So the Lord called Samuel a third time. And he stood and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you did call me.” Then Eli understood that it was the Lord [who was] calling the boy. So Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down, and it shall be that if He calls you, you shall say, ‘Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

10 Then the Lord came and stood and called as at the previous times, “Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel answered, “Speak, for Your servant is listening.” 11 The Lord said to Samuel, “Behold, I am about to do a thing in Israel at which both ears of everyone who hears it will ring. 12 On that day I will carry out against Eli everything that I have spoken concerning his house (family), from beginning to end. 13 Now I have told him that I am about to judge his house forever for the sinful behavior which he knew [was happening], because his sons were bringing a curse on themselves [dishonoring and blaspheming God] and he did not rebuke them. 14 Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the sinful behavior of Eli’s house (family) shall not be atoned for by sacrifice or offering forever.”

15 So Samuel lay down until morning. Then he opened the doors of the Lord’s house. But Samuel was afraid to tell the vision to Eli. 16 But Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son.” And he answered, “Here I am.” 17 Then Eli said, “What is it that He said to you? Please do not hide it from me. May God do the same to you, and more also, if you hide from me anything of all that He said to you.” 18 So Samuel told him everything, hiding nothing from him. And Eli said, “It is the Lord; may He do what seems good [b]to Him.”

19 Now Samuel grew; and the Lord was with him and He let none of his words [c]fail [to be fulfilled].(A) 20 And all Israel from Dan [in the north] to Beersheba [in the south] knew that Samuel was appointed as a prophet of the Lord. 21 And the Lord continued to appear in Shiloh, for the Lord revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the Lord.

Deus fala com Samuel em sonhos

E o jovem Samuel servia ao Senhor perante Eli. E a palavra do Senhor era de muita valia naqueles dias; não havia visão manifesta. E sucedeu, naquele dia, que, estando Eli deitado no seu lugar (e os seus olhos se começavam a escurecer, que não podia ver) e estando também Samuel deitado, antes que a lâmpada de Deus se apagasse no templo do Senhor, em que estava a arca de Deus, o Senhor chamou a Samuel, e disse ele: Eis-me aqui. E correu a Eli e disse: Eis-me aqui, porque tu me chamaste. Mas ele disse: Não te chamei eu, torna a deitar-te. E foi e se deitou. E o Senhor tornou a chamar outra vez a Samuel. Samuel se levantou, e foi a Eli, e disse: Eis-me aqui, porque tu me chamaste. Mas ele disse: Não te chamei eu, filho meu, torna a deitar-te. Porém Samuel ainda não conhecia o Senhor, e ainda não lhe tinha sido manifestada a palavra do Senhor. O Senhor, pois, tornou a chamar a Samuel, terceira vez, e ele se levantou, e foi a Eli, e disse: Eis-me aqui, porque tu me chamaste. Então, entendeu Eli que o Senhor chamava o jovem. Pelo que Eli disse a Samuel: Vai-te deitar, e há de ser que, se te chamar, dirás: Fala, Senhor, porque o teu servo ouve. Então, Samuel foi e se deitou no seu lugar.

10 Então, veio o Senhor, e ali esteve, e chamou como das outras vezes: Samuel, Samuel. E disse Samuel: Fala, porque o teu servo ouve. 11 E disse o Senhor a Samuel: Eis aqui vou eu a fazer uma coisa em Israel, a qual todo o que ouvir lhe tinirão ambas as orelhas. 12 Naquele mesmo dia, suscitarei contra Eli tudo quanto tenho falado contra a sua casa; começá-lo-ei e acabá-lo-ei. 13 Porque eu lhe fiz saber que julgarei a sua casa para sempre, pela iniquidade que ele bem conhecia, porque, fazendo-se os seus filhos execráveis, não os repreendeu. 14 Portanto, jurei à casa de Eli que nunca jamais será expiada a iniquidade da casa de Eli com sacrifício nem com oferta de manjares.

Samuel conta a visão a Eli

15 E Samuel ficou deitado até pela manhã e, então, abriu as portas da Casa do Senhor; porém temia Samuel relatar esta visão a Eli. 16 Então, chamou Eli a Samuel e disse: Samuel, meu filho. E disse ele: Eis-me aqui. 17 E ele disse: Que palavra é a que te falou? Peço-te que ma não encubras; assim Deus te faça e outro tanto se me encobrires alguma palavra de todas as palavras que te falou. 18 Então, Samuel lhe contou todas aquelas palavras e nada lhe encobriu. E disse ele: É o Senhor; faça o que bem parecer aos seus olhos.

19 E crescia Samuel, e o Senhor era com ele, e nenhuma de todas as suas palavras deixou cair em terra. 20 E todo o Israel, desde Dã até Berseba, conheceu que Samuel estava confirmado por profeta do Senhor. 21 E continuou o Senhor a aparecer em Siló, porquanto o Senhor se manifestava a Samuel, em Siló, pela palavra do Senhor.

O Chamado de Samuel

O menino Samuel ministrava perante o Senhor, sob a direção de Eli; naqueles dias raramente o Senhor falava, e as visões não eram freqüentes.

Certa noite, Eli, cujos olhos estavam ficando tão fracos que já não conseguia mais enxergar, estava deitado em seu lugar de costume. A lâmpada de Deus ainda não havia se apagado, e Samuel estava deitado no santuário do Senhor, onde se encontrava a arca de Deus. Então o Senhor chamou Samuel.

Samuel respondeu: “Estou aqui”. E correu até Eli e disse: “Estou aqui; o senhor me chamou?”

Eli, porém, disse: “Não o chamei; volte e deite-se”. Então, ele foi e se deitou.

De novo o Senhor chamou: “Samuel!” E Samuel se levantou e foi até Eli e disse: “Estou aqui; o senhor me chamou?”

Disse Eli: “Meu filho, não o chamei; volte e deite-se”.

Ora, Samuel ainda não conhecia o Senhor. A palavra do Senhor ainda não lhe havia sido revelada.

O Senhor chamou Samuel pela terceira vez. Ele se levantou, foi até Eli e disse: “Estou aqui; o senhor me chamou?”

Eli percebeu que o Senhor estava chamando o menino e lhe disse: “Vá e deite-se; se ele chamá-lo, diga: ‘Fala, Senhor, pois o teu servo está ouvindo’”. Então Samuel foi se deitar.

10 O Senhor voltou a chamá-lo como nas outras vezes: “Samuel, Samuel!”

Samuel disse: “Fala, pois o teu servo está ouvindo”.

11 E o Senhor disse a Samuel: “Vou realizar em Israel algo que fará tinir os ouvidos de todos os que ficarem sabendo. 12 Nessa ocasião executarei contra Eli tudo o que falei contra sua família, do começo ao fim. 13 Pois eu lhe disse que julgaria sua família para sempre, por causa do pecado dos seus filhos, do qual ele tinha consciência; seus filhos se fizeram desprezíveis[a], e ele não os puniu. 14 Por isso jurei à família de Eli: ‘Jamais se fará propiciação pela culpa da família de Eli mediante sacrifício ou oferta’”.

15 Samuel ficou deitado até de manhã e então abriu as portas da casa do Senhor. Ele teve medo de contar a visão a Eli, 16 mas este o chamou e disse: “Samuel, meu filho”.

“Estou aqui”, respondeu Samuel.

17 Eli perguntou: “O que o Senhor lhe disse? Não esconda de mim. Deus o castigue, e o faça com muita severidade, se você esconder de mim qualquer coisa que ele lhe falou”. 18 Então, Samuel lhe contou tudo, e nada escondeu. Então Eli disse: “Ele é o Senhor; que faça o que lhe parecer melhor”.

19 Enquanto Samuel crescia, o Senhor estava com ele, e fazia com que todas as suas palavras se cumprissem. 20 Todo o Israel, desde Dã até Berseba, reconhecia que Samuel estava confirmado como profeta do Senhor. 21 O Senhor continuou aparecendo em Siló, onde havia se revelado a Samuel por meio de sua palavra.
