1 Samyèl 1-3
Haitian Creole Version
1 ¶ Te gen yon nonm, moun branch fanmi Efrayim, ki te rele Elkana. Li te rete lavil Rama nan mòn peyi Efrayim. Se te pitit Jewokam, pitit pitit Eliyou, nan fanmi Tokou, nan branch fanmi Zouf la.
2 Elkana te gen de madanm, yonn te rele Ana, lòt la te rele Penina. Penina te fè pitit pou li. Men, Ana pa t' gen pitit.
3 Chak lanne, Elkana soti lavil Rama, li moute lavil Silo pou l' al fè sèvis pou Seyè ki gen tout pou vwa a, pou l' touye bèt pou li. Se de pitit Eli yo, Ofni ak Fineas, ki te prèt Seyè a lavil Silo.
4 Chak fwa Elkana te ofri bèt pou Seyè a, li te toujou pran yon pòsyon pou Penina, yon pòsyon pou chak pitit fi ak pitit gason li yo.
5 Men, li te bay Ana yon pòsyon doub, paske li te renmen l' anpil, atout Seyè a pa t' ba li pitit.
6 Penina menm te toujou ap giyonnen Ana pou fè l' wont, paske Seyè a pa t' ba li pitit.
7 Sa kontinye konsa chak lanne pandan lontan. Chak fwa yo te moute ale nan tanp Seyè a, Penina gen pou anbete Ana jouk li fè l' fache. Lè konsa, Ana menm rete ap kriye, li pa vle manje anyen.
8 Elkana, mari li, di l' konsa: -Aa, machè! Poukisa w'ap plede kriye konsa? Poukisa ou pa manje? Poukisa ou kagou konsa? Ou genyen m', se tankou si ou te genyen depase dis pitit gason.
9 ¶ Yon lè yo te lavil Silo, apre yo te fin manje, yo te fin bwè, Ana leve. Eli, prèt la, te chita sou chèz li bò pòtay Tanp Seyè a.
10 Ana te gen anpil lapenn. Li t'ap lapriyè nan pye Seyè a, dlo t'ap koule nan je l'.
11 Li fè Seyè a yon pwomès, li di l' konsa: -Seyè, ou menm ki gen tout pouvwa a, tanpri voye je ou sou sèvant ou a non! Gade lapenn mwen! Si ou pa bliye m', si ou ban m' yon pitit gason, m'ap mete l' apa pou li viv pou ou ase. Li p'ap janm koupe cheve nan tèt li.
12 Pandan tout tan Ana t'ap lapriyè konsa devan Seyè a, Eli t'ap gade bouch li.
13 Men, Ana t'ap lapriyè nan kè l'. Se bouch li ase ki t'ap bat, konsa moun pa t' ka tande sa l'ap di a. Lè sa a, Eli te konprann se sou li te sou.
14 Li di l' konsa: -Kilè w'a sispann bwè jouk pou ou sou konsa? Soti al desoule ou yon lòt kote!
15 Ana reponn li: -Se pa sou mwen sou non, mèt! Mwen pa goute ni diven ni ankenn lòt bweson. Se nan gwo lapenn mwen ye. Se louvri m'ap louvri kè m' bay Seyè a. Se rakonte m'ap rakonte Seyè a lapenn mwen.
16 Tanpri, mèt! Pa pran m' pou yon fanm lib! Kifè m'ap pale konsa, se paske mwen nan gwo tèt chaje. Chagren ap touye m'.
17 Lè sa a, Eli reponn li: -Ale ak kè poze. Mwen mande Bondye pèp Izrayèl la pou l' ba ou sa ou mande l' la.
18 Ana reponn li: -M' espere ou p'ap janm bliye m'! Epi li leve, l' al fè wout li. Li manje. Depi lè sa a, li pa t' menm moun lan ankò.
19 ¶ Nan denmen maten, Elkana leve byen bonè ak tout fanmi li, yo adore Seyè a. Apre sa, yo tounen lakay yo lavil Rama. Elkama kouche ak Ana, madanm li. Epi, Seyè a fè pou Ana sa li te mande l' la.
20 Se konsa Ana vin ansent. Lè lè a rive pou l' akouche, li fè yon pitit gason. Li rele l' Samyèl, paske li te di: Mwen te mande Seyè a li.
21 Apre sa, Elkana moute lavil Silo ansanm ak tout fanmi li yo pou yo te ka fè ofrann yo gen pou yo fè chak lanne bay Seyè a, ansanm ak ofrann espesyal yo te fè ve bay Seyè a.
22 Men Ana pa t' ale. Li di mari l' konsa: -Fini m'a fin sevre pitit la, m'a mennen l' nan Tanp Seyè a kote li pral rete pou tout tan.
23 Elkana, mari li, di l': -Fè sa ou wè ki pi bon an. Rete non jouk w'a fin sevre l'. Tansèlman, se pou Seyè a fè sa li te di a rive vre. Se konsa Ana rete pou l' pran swen ti bebe a jouk li sevre l'.
24 Apre li fin sevre pitit la, li mennen l' lavil Silo. Li te pran avè l' yon ti towo bèf twazan, yon barik farin, yon sak an po bèt plen diven. Li mennen ti gason an nan tanp Seyè a, lavil Silo, atout li te tou piti toujou.
25 Yo touye ti towo a, epi yo mennen ti gason an bay Eli.
26 Ana di l': -Eskize m' wi, mèt. Ou pa chonje ki moun mwen ye? Menm jan ou vivan an, se mwen menm fanm ou te wè ki te kanpe bò kote ou la yon jou ap lapriyè Seyè a.
27 Mwen te mande l' pou l' te ban mwen pitit gason sa a. Li ban mwen sa m' te mande l' la.
28 Se konsa m' vin mete l' apa pou l' ka viv pou Seyè a ase jouk li mouri. Apre sa, yo adore Seyè a la nan tanp lan.
2 ¶ Lè sa a, Ana lapriyè, li di: -Seyè a fè kè m' kontan anpil! Seyè a remoute kouraj mwen. M'ap kenbe tèt ak lènmi yo. Kè m' kontan paske Bondye delivre mwen.
2 Pa gen Bondye tankou Seyè a. Non, pa gen tankou l'. Pa gen moun ki ka pwoteje tankou Bondye nou an.
3 Sispann pale avèk lògèy. Pa kite pawòl radiyès soti nan bouch nou. Paske Seyè a se yon Bondye ki konnen tout bagay. Li jije tou sa moun ap fè.
4 L'ap kraze zam ki nan men vanyan sòlda yo. Men l'ap bay moun ki fèb yo fòs kouraj.
5 Sa ki te konn manje vant deboutonnen yo al vann jounen pou yo ka jwenn manje pou yo manje. Sa ki t'ap mouri grangou yo pa grangou ankò. Fanm ki pa t' ka fè pitit la fè pitit sèt fwa. Sa ki te gen anpil pitit la rete san anyen.
6 Seyè a touye, lèfini li bay lavi ankò. Li fè moun desann nan peyi kote mò yo ye a. Li mennen yo tounen ankò.
7 Li fè moun rich, li fè moun pòv. Li desann moun jouk atè, lèfini li fè yo kanpe ankò.
8 Li wete pòv yo nan lapenn yo, li bay endijan yo men pou yo soti nan mizè yo. Li fè yo chita menm kote ak grannèg yo. Li ba yo bèl pozisyon nan lasosyete. Fondasyon latè, se nan men Seyè a sa ye. Se sou yo li bati tou sa ki la.
9 L'ap pwoteje lavi moun k'ap sèvi l' ak tout kè yo. Men, mechan yo pral mouri nan fènwa. Paske se pa fòs kouraj yon nonm k'ap fè l' genyen.
10 Seyè a ap kraze tout lènmi l' yo. L'ap rete nan syèl la, l'ap voye loraj tonbe sou yo. Seyè a gen pou jije dènye moun ki sou latè. L'a bay wa li a pouvwa, l'ap chita pouvwa moun li te chwazi pou wa a.
11 ¶ Apre sa, Elkana tounen lakay li lavil Rama, men yo kite ti gason an lavil Silo pou l' te sèvi Seyè a sou zòd Eli, prèt la.
12 Pitit gason Eli yo te yon bann vòryen. Pou yo, Seyè a pa t' egziste,
13 ni yo pa t' aji jan prèt yo fèt pou aji ak pèp la. Chak fwa yon nonm t'ap touye bèt pou ofri bay Bondye, domestik prèt la vini avèk yon gwo fouchèt twa dan nan men l'. Antan vyann lan ap kwit nan dife a,
14 li plonje fouchèt la nan kaswòl la, nan chodyè a, nan mamit la osinon nan bonm lan. Tou sa fouchèt la te pran, se te pou prèt la. Se konsa yo te fè sa lavil Silo ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl la ki te vin fè ofrann yo la.
15 Sa ki pi rèd ankò, anvan menm yo te wete grès pou boule yo, domestik prèt la vini, epi li di nonm ki t'ap ofri bèt yo te touye a konsa: -Ban m' moso vyann pou prèt la fè woti. Li p'ap asepte ou ba li vyann bouyi. Li bezwen vyann fre.
16 Men, si nonm lan ta reponn li: Tann yo boule grès la anvan, apre sa w'a pran sa ou vle, domestik prèt la ap di l': -Non! Ban mwen l' koulye a. Si ou pa ban mwen li, m'ap pran l' ak fòs pa m'.
17 Peche pitit gason Eli yo te grav anpil anpil devan Seyè a, paske yo pa t' respekte ofrann yo te fè pou Seyè a.
18 Ti Samyèl menm t'ap sèvi Seyè a. Li te gen yon ti jile tankou prèt yo konn mete a.
19 Chak lanne manman l' te fè yon ti rad pou li, epi li te pote l' ba li lè li moute ak mari l' pou touye bèt pou yo ofri chak lanne a.
20 Se konsa, Eli te beni Elkana ansanm ak madanm li. Li di Elkana: -M'ap lapriyè Seyè a pou l' ba ou lòt pitit avèk madanm sa a pou ranplase pitit ou mete apa pou Seyè a. Apre sa yo tounen lakay yo.
21 Seyè a beni Ana ankò. Ana fè senk lòt pitit, de fi twa gason. Ti Samyèl menm t'ap grandi nan kay Seyè a.
22 Eli te fin granmoun. Li te tande moun ap di tou sa pitit gason l' yo t'ap fè moun Izrayèl yo pase, jan yo te menm rive kouche ak medam ki t'ap travay nan pòtay devan Kay Randevou a.
23 Lè sa a, li di yo konsa: -Poukisa n'ap fè bagay konsa? Mwen tande tout vye koze y'ap di sou nou nan pèp la.
24 Sispann non, pitit mwen yo! Paske, sa m' tande y'ap di sou nou yo se pa bèl bagay menm.
25 Si yon moun fè yon lòt yon bagay mal, Seyè a ka pran defans li. Men lè se Bondye menm yon moun fè mal, ki moun ki va pran defans li? Men, mesye yo pa t' vle koute sa papa a t'ap di yo, paske Seyè a te fin pran desizyon l' pou l' te touye yo.
26 Ti Samyèl menm t'ap grandi toujou. Li t'ap aji yon jan ki te fè ni Bondye ni lèzòm plezi.
27 ¶ Yon pwofèt Bondye vin jwenn Eli, li di l' konsa: -Men sa Seyè a voye di ou: Lè zansèt ou yo, Arawon ak moun fanmi l' yo, te esklav nan peyi Lejip ap sèvi farawon an, mwen te fè yo konnen ki moun mwen ye.
28 Nan tout branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo se fanmi pa li a mwen te chwazi pou sèvi m' prèt devan lotèl mwen, pou yo boule lansan, pou pote ti jile prèt yo devan m'. Epi mwen ba yo dwa pou yo pran yon pòsyon nan tout bèt yo ofri pou boule pou mwen sou lotèl la.
29 Pouki nou pa respekte bèt yo touye pou mwen ak ofrann mwen te bay lòd pou pèp la fè nan Tanp mwen an? Poukisa, ou menm Eli, ou gen pitit ou yo plis krentif pase m', kifè ou kite yo ap gra ak pi bon pòsyon nan tout ofrann moun pèp Izrayèl yo ap fè pou mwen?
30 Se poutèt sa, mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, men sa m'ap di: Nan tan lontan, mwen te pwomèt mwen t'ap kite fanmi ou ak moun branch fanmi ou yo sèvi m' prèt pou tout tan. Men koulye a, mwen di: Mwen p'ap fè sa ankò paske m'ap fè bèl bagay pou moun ki gen krentif pou mwen. Men moun k'ap derespekte m' yo, m'ap fè yo wont. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
31 Gade! Koulye a lè a pral rive, mwen pral touye tout jenn gason ki nan fanmi ou ak nan tout branch fanmi zansèt ou a. Konsa p'ap gen gason nan fanmi ou ki va rive granmoun.
32 Lespri ou pral boulvèse lè w'a wè tout bagay ap mache byen pou pèp la, men pesonn nan fanmi ou p'ap janm viv lontan jouk pou yo rive granmoun.
33 M'ap kite yonn nan fanmi ou yo vivan pou li ka sèvi m' prèt. Men, l'ap pèdi de grenn je l' yo, epi lapenn ap fini avè l'. Tout lòt fanmi ou yo pral mouri tou jenn nan move kondisyon.
34 Lè w'a wè de pitit gason ou yo, Ofni ak Fineas, tonbe mouri menm jou a, w'a konnen sa m' te di a se vre.
35 Mwen pral chwazi yon lòt prèt ki p'ap janm twonpe m'. L'a fè tou sa m'a vle l' fè, tou sa mwen ta renmen wè l' fè. M'a ba li yon fanmi ki p'ap janm disparèt, se yo ki va toujou sèvi wa mwen va chwazi a.
36 Men, moun ki va rete vivan nan fanmi ou lan va ale bò kote prèt sa a pou mande l' yon ti lajan ak yon ti manje, l'a lapriyè nan pye prèt la pou prèt la kite l' ede lòt prèt yo pou li ka jwenn kichòy pou l' manje.
3 ¶ Lè sa a, Samyèl te timoun toujou, li t'ap sèvi Seyè a sou zòd Eli. Nan tan sa a se pa t' fasil pou Seyè a te pale ak moun. Se bagay ki te ra anpil pou Seyè a te fè moun wè l'.
2 Je Eli yo te fin bese, li pa t' ka wè ladan yo ankò. Yon jou lannwit, Eli te kouche nan chanm li ap dòmi.
3 Samyèl menm te kouche nan Tanp Seyè a, nan pyès kote Bwat Kontra Bondye a te ye a. Lanp lan te limen toujou.
4 Seyè a rele Samyèl. Samyèl reponn: -Men mwen wi!
5 Epi li leve, l' al jwenn Eli, li di l': -Men mwen wi! M' tande ou rele m'! Eli reponn li: -Mwen pa rele ou non! Tounen nan kabann ou. Samyèl ale, li kouche.
6 Seyè a rele l' ankò. Samyèl leve, l' al jwenn Eli, li di l': -Men mwen wi! Mwen tande ou rele m'! Men, Eli reponn li: -Pitit mwen, mwen pa rele ou. Al kouche tande!
7 Samyèl pa t' ankò konnen Seyè a paske Seyè a pa t' ankò janm pale avè l' anvan sa.
8 Seyè a rele Samyèl yon twazyèm fwa. Samyèl leve, l' al jwenn Eli, epi li di l': -Mwen tande ou rele m'. Men mwen wi! Fwa sa a, Eli vin konprann se Seyè a ki t'ap rele ti gason an.
9 Li di Samyèl konsa: -Al kouche tande! Si ou tande yo rele ou ankò, w'a reponn: Pale non, Seyè! Sèvitè ou la ap koute ou! Samyèl ale, li kouche nan kabann li.
10 Seyè a vini, li kanpe, epi li rele l' jan l' te fè l' anvan an: -Samyèl! Samyèl! Samyèl reponn: -Pale non! Sèvitè ou la ap koute ou!
11 ¶ Seyè a di l' konsa: -Mwen pral fè yon gwo bagay nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la. Lè moun va tande sa, yo pral sezi.
12 Jou sa a, tout malè mwen te di Eli ki pou te rive fanmi l' yo pral rive vre san manke yonn.
13 Mwen te di l' mwen tapral pini fanmi l' lan yon sèl kou pou m' fini ak yo poutèt pitit gason l' yo. Li konnen yo t'ap fè sa ki mal, yo t'ap pale Bondye mal, epi li pa di yo anyen.
14 Se poutèt sa mwen te fè moun fanmi Eli yo konnen mwen sèmante pa gen ankenn bèt yo ka touye ni ankenn ofrann ki ka fè m' padonnen peche yo fè a.
15 Samyèl rete nan kabann li jouk denmen maten. Li leve granmaten, li louvri tout pòt nan Tanp Seyè a. Men, li te pè al rakonte Eli vizyon li te fè a.
16 Men Eli rele l': -Samyèl, pitit mwen! Samyèl reponn li: -Men mwen wi!
17 Eli mande l': -Kisa Seyè a di ou konsa? Tanpri pa kache m' anyen. Se pou Bondye ba ou pi gwo pinisyon ki genyen si ou kache m' anyen nan sa li di ou la.
18 Se konsa Samyèl rapòte l' tout pawòl Seyè a san kache l' anyen. Epi Eli di l': -Se Seyè a li ye, l'a fè tou sa li wè ki bon.
19 ¶ Samyèl t'ap grandi, Seyè a te avèk li. Li te fè tout pawòl ki te soti nan bouch Samyèl rive vre.
20 Konsa, tout pèp Izrayèl la, depi moun ki te rete nan peyi Dann lan jouk sa ki rete lavil Bècheba, te vin rekonèt Samyèl tankou yon bon pwofèt k'ap pale pawòl Seyè a.
21 Seyè a menm te toujou ap parèt lavil Silo, paske se la li te konn fè Samyèl wè li, se la li te konn pale ak li.
1 Samuel 1-3
New International Version
1 Samuel 1-3
New International Version
The Birth of Samuel
1 There was a certain man from Ramathaim,(A) a Zuphite[a](B) from the hill country(C) of Ephraim,(D) whose name was Elkanah(E) son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite. 2 He had two wives;(F) one was called Hannah and the other Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had none.
3 Year after year(G) this man went up from his town to worship(H) and sacrifice to the Lord Almighty at Shiloh,(I) where Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli,(J) were priests of the Lord. 4 Whenever the day came for Elkanah to sacrifice,(K) he would give portions of the meat to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters.(L) 5 But to Hannah he gave a double portion(M) because he loved her, and the Lord had closed her womb.(N) 6 Because the Lord had closed Hannah’s womb, her rival kept provoking her in order to irritate her.(O) 7 This went on year after year. Whenever Hannah went up to the house of the Lord, her rival provoked her till she wept and would not eat.(P) 8 Her husband Elkanah would say to her, “Hannah, why are you weeping? Why don’t you eat? Why are you downhearted? Don’t I mean more to you than ten sons?(Q)”
9 Once when they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh, Hannah stood up. Now Eli the priest was sitting on his chair by the doorpost of the Lord’s house.(R) 10 In her deep anguish(S) Hannah prayed to the Lord, weeping bitterly. 11 And she made a vow,(T) saying, “Lord Almighty(U), if you will only look on your servant’s misery and remember(V) me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the Lord for all the days of his life,(W) and no razor(X) will ever be used on his head.”
12 As she kept on praying to the Lord, Eli observed her mouth. 13 Hannah was praying in her heart, and her lips were moving but her voice was not heard. Eli thought she was drunk 14 and said to her, “How long are you going to stay drunk? Put away your wine.”
15 “Not so, my lord,” Hannah replied, “I am a woman who is deeply troubled.(Y) I have not been drinking wine or beer; I was pouring(Z) out my soul to the Lord. 16 Do not take your servant for a wicked woman; I have been praying here out of my great anguish and grief.”(AA)
17 Eli answered, “Go in peace,(AB) and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of him.(AC)”
18 She said, “May your servant find favor in your eyes.(AD)” Then she went her way and ate something, and her face was no longer downcast.(AE)
19 Early the next morning they arose and worshiped before the Lord and then went back to their home at Ramah.(AF) Elkanah made love to his wife Hannah, and the Lord remembered(AG) her. 20 So in the course of time Hannah became pregnant and gave birth to a son.(AH) She named(AI) him Samuel,[b](AJ) saying, “Because I asked the Lord for him.”
Hannah Dedicates Samuel
21 When her husband Elkanah went up with all his family to offer the annual(AK) sacrifice to the Lord and to fulfill his vow,(AL) 22 Hannah did not go. She said to her husband, “After the boy is weaned, I will take him and present(AM) him before the Lord, and he will live there always.”[c]
23 “Do what seems best to you,” her husband Elkanah told her. “Stay here until you have weaned him; only may the Lord make good(AN) his[d] word.” So the woman stayed at home and nursed her son until she had weaned(AO) him.
24 After he was weaned, she took the boy with her, young as he was, along with a three-year-old bull,[e](AP) an ephah[f] of flour and a skin of wine, and brought him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh. 25 When the bull had been sacrificed, they brought the boy to Eli, 26 and she said to him, “Pardon me, my lord. As surely as you live, I am the woman who stood here beside you praying to the Lord. 27 I prayed(AQ) for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him. 28 So now I give him to the Lord. For his whole life(AR) he will be given over to the Lord.” And he worshiped the Lord there.
Hannah’s Prayer
2 Then Hannah prayed and said:(AS)
“My heart rejoices(AT) in the Lord;
in the Lord my horn[g](AU) is lifted high.
My mouth boasts(AV) over my enemies,(AW)
for I delight in your deliverance.
2 “There is no one holy(AX) like(AY) the Lord;
there is no one besides you;
there is no Rock(AZ) like our God.
3 “Do not keep talking so proudly
or let your mouth speak such arrogance,(BA)
for the Lord is a God who knows,(BB)
and by him deeds(BC) are weighed.(BD)
4 “The bows of the warriors are broken,(BE)
but those who stumbled are armed with strength.(BF)
5 Those who were full hire themselves out for food,
but those who were hungry(BG) are hungry no more.
She who was barren(BH) has borne seven children,
but she who has had many sons pines away.
6 “The Lord brings death and makes alive;(BI)
he brings down to the grave and raises up.(BJ)
7 The Lord sends poverty and wealth;(BK)
he humbles and he exalts.(BL)
8 He raises(BM) the poor(BN) from the dust(BO)
and lifts the needy(BP) from the ash heap;
he seats them with princes
and has them inherit a throne of honor.(BQ)
“For the foundations(BR) of the earth are the Lord’s;
on them he has set the world.
9 He will guard the feet(BS) of his faithful servants,(BT)
but the wicked will be silenced in the place of darkness.(BU)
“It is not by strength(BV) that one prevails;
10 those who oppose the Lord will be broken.(BW)
The Most High will thunder(BX) from heaven;
the Lord will judge(BY) the ends of the earth.
11 Then Elkanah went home to Ramah,(CB) but the boy ministered(CC) before the Lord under Eli the priest.
Eli’s Wicked Sons
12 Eli’s sons were scoundrels; they had no regard(CD) for the Lord. 13 Now it was the practice(CE) 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(CF) 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(CG) 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[h] were treating the Lord’s offering with contempt.(CH)
18 But Samuel was ministering(CI) before the Lord—a boy wearing a linen ephod.(CJ) 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(CK) 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(CL) for and gave to[i] the Lord.” Then they would go home. 21 And the Lord was gracious to Hannah;(CM) she gave birth to three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile, the boy Samuel grew(CN) up in the presence of the Lord.
22 Now Eli, who was very old, heard about everything(CO) his sons were doing to all Israel and how they slept with the women(CP) 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[j] may mediate for the offender; but if anyone sins against the Lord, who will(CQ) intercede(CR) 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(CS) in stature and in favor with the Lord and with people.(CT)
Prophecy Against the House of Eli
27 Now a man of God(CU) 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(CV) your ancestor out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense,(CW) and to wear an ephod(CX) in my presence. I also gave your ancestor’s family all the food offerings(CY) presented by the Israelites. 29 Why do you[k] scorn my sacrifice and offering(CZ) that I prescribed for my dwelling?(DA) 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.(DB)’ But now the Lord declares: ‘Far be it from me! Those who honor me I will honor,(DC) but those who despise(DD) me will be disdained.(DE) 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,(DF) 32 and you will see distress(DG) in my dwelling. Although good will be done to Israel, no one in your family line will ever reach old age.(DH) 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(DI) will die in the prime of life.
34 “‘And what happens to your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, will be a sign(DJ) to you—they will both die(DK) on the same day.(DL) 35 I will raise up for myself a faithful priest,(DM) 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(DN) 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,(DO) “Appoint me to some priestly office so I can have food to eat.(DP)”’”
The Lord Calls Samuel
3 The boy Samuel ministered(DQ) before the Lord under Eli. In those days the word of the Lord was rare;(DR) there were not many visions.(DS)
2 One night Eli, whose eyes(DT) were becoming so weak that he could barely see,(DU) was lying down in his usual place. 3 The lamp(DV) of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the house(DW) of the Lord, where the ark(DX) of God was. 4 Then the Lord called Samuel.
Samuel answered, “Here I am.(DY)” 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(DZ) the Lord: The word(EA) of the Lord had not yet been revealed(EB) 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!(EC)”
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.(ED) 12 At that time I will carry out against Eli everything(EE) 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,[l] and he failed to restrain(EF) them. 14 Therefore I swore to the house of Eli, ‘The guilt of Eli’s house will never be atoned(EG) 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(EH) it from me. May God deal with you, be it ever so severely,(EI) 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.”(EJ)
19 The Lord was with(EK) Samuel as he grew(EL) up, and he let none(EM) of Samuel’s words fall to the ground. 20 And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba(EN) recognized that Samuel was attested as a prophet of the Lord.(EO) 21 The Lord continued to appear at Shiloh, and there he revealed(EP) himself to Samuel through his word.

Lik 8:26-56
Haitian Creole Version
26 Yo fè tè nan peyi Jerazenyen yo ki lòt bò letan an, vizaviz ak Galile.
27 Jezi desann atè. Lamenm yon nonm lavil la vin devan l': nonm lan te gen anpil move lespri sou li. Depi lontan li pa t' janm vle mete rad sou li, ni li pa t' vle rete nan ankenn kay, se nan mitan tonm mò yo li t'ap viv.
28 Lè l' wè Jezi, li bay yon gwo rèl, li lage kò l' atè devan Jezi, li pran pale byen fò, li di li konsa: Kisa m' gen avè ou, Jezi, Pitit Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la? Tanpri souple, pa fè m' soufri.
29 Li te pale konsa paske Jezi te pase move lespri a lòd pou li soti sou nonm lan. Anpil fwa, lespri a te vin sou li: lè konsa, yo te konn mare tou de men l' ak tou de pye l' ak chenn pou l' pa t' kouri. Men, li te jwenn mwayen pete chenn yo epi move lespri a te mennen l' ale nan dezè.
30 Jezi mande li: Ki jan ou rele? Li reponn: Yo rele m' Rejiman. Li di sa paske se anpil move lespri ki te sou nonm lan.
31 Lespri yo t'ap mande Jezi: Tanpri souple, pa voye n' ale nan gwo twou san fon an.
32 Sou ti mòn lan te gen yon bann kochon ki t'ap chache manje pou yo manje. Move lespri yo pran mande Jezi: Tanpri souple, kite nou antre nan kochon sa yo. Jezi ba yo pèmisyon sa a.
33 Lè sa a, move lespri yo soti sou nonm lan, yo antre nan kochon yo. Lamenm tout bann kochon yo pran degrengole desann bò falèz la, y' al neye tèt yo nan letan an.
34 Moun ki t'ap gade kochon yo, lè yo wè sak te rive, yo pran kouri, yo gaye nouvèl la nan lavil la kou andeyò.
35 Moun soti pou y' al wè sak te pase. Lè yo rive kote Jezi te ye a, yo jwenn nonm lan: move lespri yo te soti sou li, li te chita nan pye Jezi byen abiye ak tout bon sans li sou li. Yo tout te pè.
36 Moun ki te asiste bagay la mete rakonte yo ki jan nonm ki te gen move lespri sou li a te geri.
37 Lè sa a, tout moun nan peyi Jerazenyen yo mande Jezi pou li al fè wout li kite peyi a, paske yo te pè anpil. Jezi moute nan kannòt la pou l' ale.
38 Nonm ki te gen move lespri soti sou li a mande l' pou li ale avèk li tou. Men, Jezi voye l' ale, li di li:
39 Tounen lakay ou; al rakonte tou sa Bondye fè pou ou. Nonm lan pati, li mache fè konnen tou sa Jezi te fè pou li nan tout lavil la.
40 ¶ Lè Jezi tounen lòt bò letan an, yon foul moun resevwa l', paske tout moun t'ap tann li.
41 Yon nonm yo rele Jayiris vin rive. Se li ki te chèf sinagòg la. Li lage kò l' nan pye Jezi, li mande li: Tanpri souple, ann al lakay.
42 Mwen gen yon tifi douzan ki sèl pitit fi m', mwen kite l' prèt pou mouri. Pandan Jezi tapral lakay Jayiris, yon foul moun t'ap kwense l' toupatou.
43 Te gen yon fanm nan foul moun yo ki te malad: Depi douzan li t'ap pèdi san. Li te fin depanse tout byen l' kay dòktè, san yo yonn pa t' kapab geri li.
44 Li pwoche pa dèyè, li manyen ke rad Jezi. Latou, san an rete.
45 Jezi mande: Ki moun ki manyen m' lan? Tout moun pran di se pa yo. Lè sa a, Pyè di li: Men, Mèt, se nan mitan yon foul moun ou ye, moun ap kwense ou tout jan.
46 Men, Jezi reponn li: Mwen di ou gen yon moun ki manyen m', paske mwen santi yon fòs soti sou mwen.
47 Lè sa a, fanm lan wè yo te dekouvri l', li pran tranble kou yon fèy bwa, li vin lage kò l' nan pye Jezi, li pran rakonte devan tout pèp la poukisa li te manyen l', ki jan li te geri menm lè a tou.
48 Jezi di li: Mafi, se konfyans ou nan Bondye ki geri ou; ale ak kè poze.
49 Jezi t'ap pale toujou lè yon nonm soti lakay chèf sinagòg la vin di li: Tifi ou la mouri; ou pa bezwen deranje mèt la pase sa.
50 Men, lè Jezi tande sa, li di Jayiris konsa: Pa pè. Sèlman, met konfyans ou nan mwen, pitit la va geri.
51 Lè Jezi rive lakay la, li pa kite tout moun yo antre ak li. Li pran Pyè, Jan, Jak epi papa ak manman pitit la.
52 Tout moun t'ap kriye, yo t'ap plenn lanmò pitit la. Jezi di yo: Pa kriye. Pitit la pa mouri, se dòmi l'ap dòmi.
53 Lè sa a, yo tonbe pase l' nan betiz paske yo te konnen tifi a fin mouri.
54 Men, Jezi pran men pitit la, li pale byen fò, li di konsa: Tifi, leve.
55 Lespri tifi a tounen sou li ankò, menm lè a li leve. Jezi pase lòd pou yo ba l' manje.
56 Papa ak manman tifi a te sezi anpil, men Jezi bay yo lòd pou yo pa di pesonn sak te pase.

Luke 8:26-56
New International Version
Jesus Restores a Demon-Possessed Man(A)(B)
26 They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes,[a] which is across the lake from Galilee. 27 When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me,(C) Jesus, Son of the Most High God?(D) I beg you, don’t torture me!” 29 For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places.
30 Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”
“Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him. 31 And they begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss.(E)
32 A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs, and he gave them permission. 33 When the demons came out of the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake(F) and was drowned.
34 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, 35 and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet,(G) dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 36 Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed(H) man had been cured. 37 Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them,(I) because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and left.
38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Return home and tell how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him.
Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman(J)
40 Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him. 41 Then a man named Jairus, a synagogue leader,(K) came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come to his house 42 because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying.
As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. 43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding(L) for twelve years,[b] but no one could heal her. 44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak,(M) and immediately her bleeding stopped.
45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked.
When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master,(N) the people are crowding and pressing against you.”
46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me;(O) I know that power has gone out from me.”(P)
47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48 Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you.(Q) Go in peace.”(R)
49 While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader.(S) “Your daughter is dead,” he said. “Don’t bother the teacher anymore.”
50 Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”
51 When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John and James,(T) and the child’s father and mother. 52 Meanwhile, all the people were wailing and mourning(U) for her. “Stop wailing,” Jesus said. “She is not dead but asleep.”(V)
53 They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But he took her by the hand and said, “My child, get up!”(W) 55 Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat. 56 Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.(X)
