ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ Α´ - 1 Samuele - Kings I 3

LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 και το παιδαριον σαμουηλ ην λειτουργων τω κυριω ενωπιον ηλι του ιερεως και ρημα κυριου ην τιμιον εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις ουκ ην ορασις διαστελλουσα	1 During the time young Samuel was minister to the LORD under Eli, a revelation of the LORD was uncommon and vision infrequent.
2 και εγενετο εν τη ημερα εκεινη και ηλι εκαθευδεν εν τω τοπω αυτου και οι οφθαλμοι αυτου ηρξαντο βαρυνεσθαι και ουκ ηδυνατο βλεπειν	2 One day Eli was asleep in his usual place. His eyes had lately grown so weak that he could not see.
3 και ο λυχνος του θεου πριν επισκευασθηναι και σαμουηλ εκαθευδεν εν τω ναω ου η κιβωτος του θεου	3 The lamp of God was not yet extinguished, and Samuel was sleeping in the temple of the LORD where the ark of God was.
4 και εκαλεσεν κυριος σαμουηλ σαμουηλ και ειπεν ιδου εγω	4 The LORD called to Samuel, who answered, "Here I am."
5 και εδραμεν προς ηλι και ειπεν ιδου εγω οτι κεκληκας με και ειπεν ου κεκληκα σε αναστρεφε καθευδε και ανεστρεψεν και εκαθευδεν	5 He ran to Eli and said, "Here I am. You called me." "I did not call you," Eli said. "Go back to sleep." So he went back to sleep.
6 και προσεθετο κυριος και εκαλεσεν σαμουηλ σαμουηλ και επορευθη προς ηλι το δευτερον και ειπεν ιδου εγω οτι κεκληκας με και ειπεν ου κεκληκα σε αναστρεφε καθευδε	6 Again the LORD called Samuel, who rose and went to Eli. "Here I am," he said. "You called me." But he answered, "I did not call you, my son. Go back to sleep."
7 και σαμουηλ πριν η γνωναι θεον και αποκαλυφθηναι αυτω ρημα κυριου	7 At that time Samuel was not familiar with the LORD, because the LORD had not revealed anything to him as yet.
8 και προσεθετο κυριος καλεσαι σαμουηλ εν τριτω και ανεστη και επορευθη προς ηλι και ειπεν ιδου εγω οτι κεκληκας με και εσοφισατο ηλι οτι κυριος κεκληκεν το παιδαριον	8 The LORD called Samuel again, for the third time. Getting up and going to Eli, he said, "Here I am. You called me." Then Eli understood that the LORD was calling the youth.
9 και ειπεν αναστρεφε καθευδε τεκνον και εσται εαν καλεση σε και ερεις λαλει κυριε οτι ακουει ο δουλος σου και επορευθη σαμουηλ και εκοιμηθη εν τω τοπω αυτου	9 So he said to Samuel, "Go to sleep, and if you are called, reply, 'Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening.'" When Samuel went to sleep in his place,
10 και ηλθεν κυριος και κατεστη και εκαλεσεν αυτον ως απαξ και απαξ και ειπεν σαμουηλ λαλει οτι ακουει ο δουλος σου	10 the LORD came and revealed his presence, calling out as before, "Samuel, Samuel!" Samuel answered, "Speak, for your servant is listening."
11 και ειπεν κυριος προς σαμουηλ ιδου εγω ποιω τα ρηματα μου εν ισραηλ ωστε παντος ακουοντος αυτα ηχησει αμφοτερα τα ωτα αυτου	11 The LORD said to Samuel: "I am about to do something in Israel that will cause the ears of everyone who hears it to ring.
12 εν τη ημερα εκεινη επεγερω επι ηλι παντα οσα ελαλησα εις τον οικον αυτου αρξομαι και επιτελεσω	12 On that day I will carry out in full against Eli everything I threatened against his family.
13 και ανηγγελκα αυτω οτι εκδικω εγω τον οικον αυτου εως αιωνος εν αδικιαις υιων αυτου οτι κακολογουντες θεον υιοι αυτου και ουκ ενουθετει αυτους και ουδ' ουτως	13 I announce to him that I am condemning his family once and for all, because of this crime: though he knew his sons were blaspheming God, he did not reprove them.
14 ωμοσα τω οικω ηλι ει εξιλασθησεται αδικια οικου ηλι εν θυμιαματι και εν θυσιαις εως αιωνος	14 Therefore, I swear to the family of Eli that no sacrifice or offering will ever expiate its crime."
15 και κοιμαται σαμουηλ εως πρωι και ωρθρισεν το πρωι και ηνοιξεν τας θυρας οικου κυριου και σαμουηλ εφοβηθη απαγγειλαι την ορασιν τω ηλι	15 Samuel then slept until morning, when he got up early and opened the doors of the temple of the LORD. He feared to tell Eli the vision,
16 και ειπεν ηλι προς σαμουηλ σαμουηλ τεκνον και ειπεν ιδου εγω	16 but Eli called to him, "Samuel, my son!" He replied, "Here I am."
17 και ειπεν τι το ρημα το λαληθεν προς σε μη δη κρυψης απ' εμου ταδε ποιησαι σοι ο θεος και ταδε προσθειη εαν κρυψης απ' εμου ρημα εκ παντων των λογων των λαληθεντων σοι εν τοις ωσιν σου	17 Then Eli asked, "What did he say to you? Hide nothing from me! May God do thus and so to you if you hide a single thing he told you."
18 και απηγγειλεν σαμουηλ παντας τους λογους και ουκ εκρυψεν απ' αυτου και ειπεν ηλι κυριος αυτος το αγαθον ενωπιον αυτου ποιησει	18 So Samuel told him everything, and held nothing back. Eli answered, "He is the LORD. He will do what he judges best."
19 και εμεγαλυνθη σαμουηλ και ην κυριος μετ' αυτου και ουκ επεσεν απο παντων των λογων αυτου επι την γην	19 Samuel grew up, and the LORD was with him, not permitting any word of his to be without effect.
20 και εγνωσαν πας ισραηλ απο δαν και εως βηρσαβεε οτι πιστος σαμουηλ εις προφητην τω κυριω	20 Thus all Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba came to know that Samuel was an accredited prophet of the LORD.
21 και προσεθετο κυριος δηλωθηναι εν σηλωμ οτι απεκαλυφθη κυριος προς σαμουηλ και επιστευθη σαμουηλ προφητης γενεσθαι τω κυριω εις παντα ισραηλ απ' ακρων της γης και εως ακρων και ηλι πρεσβυτης σφοδρα και οι υιοι αυτου πορευομενοι επορευοντο και πονηρα η οδος αυτων ενωπιον κυριου	21 The LORD continued to appear at Shiloh; he manifested himself to Samuel at Shiloh through his word,
