GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Και το παιδιον ο Σαμουηλ υπηρετει τον Κυριον εμπροσθεν του Ηλει. Ο λογος δε του Κυριου ητο σπανιος κατ' εκεινας τας ημερας? ορασις δεν εφαινετο.	1 Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the Lord before Eli, and the word of the Lord was precious in those days; there was no manifest vision.
2 Κατ' εκεινον δε τον καιρον, οτε ο Ηλει εκοιτετο εν τω τοπω αυτου, και οι οφθαλμοι αυτου ησαν ημαυρωμενοι, ωστε δεν ηδυνατο να βλεπη,	2 Then it happened that, on a certain day, Eli was lying in his place. And his eyes had dimmed, so that he was unable to see.
3 ο δε Σαμουηλ εκοιτετο εν τω ναω του Κυριου, οπου ητο η κιβωτος του Θεου, πριν ο λυχνος του Θεου σβεσθη,	3 And so, to prevent the lamp of God from going out, Samuel was sleeping in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was.
4 εκαλεσεν ο Κυριος τον Σαμουηλ? ο δε απεκριθη, Ιδου, εγω.	4 And the Lord called Samuel. And responding, he said, “Here I am.”
5 Και ετρεξε προς τον Ηλει και ειπεν, Ιδου, εγω? διοτι με εκαλεσας. Ο δε ειπε, Δεν σε εκαλεσα? επιστρεψον να κοιμηθης. Και υπηγε να κοιμηθη.	5 And he ran to Eli, and he said, “Here I am. For you called me.” And he said: “I did not call. Return and sleep.” And he went away, and he slept.
6 Ο δε Κυριος εκαλεσε παλιν εκ δευτερου, Σαμουηλ. Και εσηκωθη ο Σαμουηλ και υπηγε προς τον Ηλει και ειπεν, Ιδου, εγω? διοτι με εκαλεσας. Ο δε απεκριθη, Δεν σε εκαλεσα, τεκνον μου? επιστρεψον να κοιμηθης.	6 And again, the Lord continued to call to Samuel. And rising up, Samuel went to Eli, and he said: “Here I am. For you called me.” And he responded: “I did not call you, my son. Return and sleep.”
7 Και Σαμουηλ δεν εγνωριζεν ετι τον Κυριον, και ο λογος του Κυριου δεν ειχεν ετι αποκαλυφθη εις αυτον.	7 Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, and the word of the Lord had not been revealed to him.
8 Και εκαλεσεν ο Κυριος τον Σαμουηλ παλιν εκ τριτου. Και εσηκωθη και υπηγε προς τον Ηλει και ειπεν, Ιδου, εγω? διοτι με εκαλεσας. Και ενοησεν ο Ηλει οτι ο Κυριος εκαλεσε το παιδιον.	8 And the Lord continued, and he called to Samuel still a third time. And rising up, he went to Eli.
9 Και ειπεν ο Ηλει προς τον Σαμουηλ, Υπαγε να κοιμηθης? και εαν σε κραξη, θελεις ειπει, Λαλησον, Κυριε? διοτι ο δουλος σου ακουει. Και ο Σαμουηλ υπηγε και εκοιμηθη εν τω τοπω αυτου.	9 And he said: “Here I am. For you called me.” Then Eli understood that the Lord had called the boy. And he said to Samuel: “Go and sleep. And if he calls to you from now on, you will say, ‘Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.’ ” Therefore, Samuel went away, and he slept in his place.
10 Και ηλθεν ο Κυριος και σταθεις εκαλεσε καθως το προτερον, Σαμουηλ, Σαμουηλ. Τοτε ο Σαμουηλ απεκριθη, Λαλησον, διοτι ο δουλος σου ακουει.	10 And the Lord came, and stood, and he called, just as he had called the other times, “Samuel, Samuel.” And Samuel said, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.”
11 Και ειπεν ο Κυριος προς τον Σαμουηλ, Ιδου, εγω θελω καμει εις τον Ισραηλ πραγμα, ωστε παντος ακουοντος αυτο θελουσιν ηχησει αμφοτερα τα ωτα?	11 And the Lord said to Samuel: “Behold, I am accomplishing a word in Israel. Whoever will hear about it, both his ears will ring.
12 εν εκεινη τη ημερα θελω εκτελεσει εναντιον του Ηλει παντα οσα ελαλησα περι του οικου αυτου? θελω αρχισει και θελω επιτελεσει,	12 In that day, I will raise up against Eli all the things that I have spoken over his house. I will begin, and I will finish.
13 διοτι ανηγγειλα προς αυτον, οτι εγω θελω κρινει τον οικον αυτου εως αιωνος δια την ανομιαν? επειδη γνωρισας οτι οι υιοι αυτου εφερον καταραν εφ' εαυτους, δεν συνεστειλεν αυτους?	13 For I have foretold to him that I will judge his house unto eternity, because of iniquity. For he had known that his sons acted shamefully, and he did not chastise them.
14 και δια τουτο ωμοσα εναντιον του οικου του Ηλει, οτι η ανομια των υιων του Ηλει δεν θελει καθαρισθη εις τον αιωνα δια θυσιας ουδε δια προσφορας.	14 For this reason, I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of his house will not be expiated, with victims or with gifts, even forever.”
15 Και εκοιμηθη ο Σαμουηλ εως πρωιας? επειτα ηνοιξε τας θυρας του οικου του Κυριου. Και εφοβειτο ο Σαμουηλ να αναγγειλη την ορασιν προς τον Ηλει.	15 Then Samuel slept until morning, and he opened the doors of the house of the Lord. And Samuel was afraid to tell the vision to Eli.
16 Εκαλεσε δε ο Ηλει τον Σαμουηλ και ειπε, Σαμουηλ, τεκνον μου. Ο δε απεκριθη, Ιδου, εγω.	16 Then Eli called Samuel, and he said, “Samuel, my son?” And responding, he said, “I am here.”
17 Και ειπε, Ποιος ειναι ο λογος, ο λαληθεις προς σε; μη κρυψης αυτον, παρακαλω, απ' εμου? ουτω να καμη εις σε ο Θεος και ουτω να προσθεση, εαν κρυψης απ' εμου τινα εκ παντων των λογων των λαληθεντων προς σε.	17 And he questioned him: “What is the word that the Lord has spoken to you? I beg you that you may not conceal it from me. May God do these things to you, and may he add these other things, if you hide from me one word out of all the things that were told to you.”
18 Και ανηγγειλε προς αυτον ο Σαμουηλ παντας τους λογους, και δεν εκρυψεν απ' αυτου ουδενα. Και ειπεν ο Ηλει, Αυτος ειναι Κυριος? ας καμη το αρεστον εις τους οφθαλμους αυτου.	18 And so, Samuel revealed to him all the words, and he did not hide them from him. And he responded: “He is the Lord. May he do what is good in his own eyes.”
19 Και εμεγαλονεν ο Σαμουηλ? και ο Κυριος ητο μετ' αυτου και δεν αφινε να πιπτη ουδεις εκ των λογων αυτου εις την γην.	19 And Samuel grew up, and the Lord was with him, and not one of his words fell to the ground.
20 Και πας ο Ισραηλ, απο Δαν εως Βηρ-σαβεε, εγνωρισεν οτι ο Σαμουηλ ητο διωρισμενος εις το να ηναι προφητης του Κυριου.	20 And all of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, knew Samuel to be a faithful prophet of the Lord.
21 Και εξηκολουθησεν ο Κυριος να φανερονηται εν Σηλω? διοτι απεκαλυπτετο ο Κυριος προς τον Σαμουηλ εν Σηλω δια του λογου του Κυριου.	21 And the Lord continued to appear in Shiloh. For the Lord had revealed himself to Samuel at Shiloh, according to the word of the Lord. And the word about Samuel went forth to all of Israel.
