1 Samuel 3:1 (NIRV) New International Reader's Version

1 The boy Samuel served the Lord under the direction of Eli. In those days the Lord didn't give many messages to his people. He didn't give them many visions.
2 One night Eli was lying down in his usual place. His eyes were becoming so weak he couldn't see very well.
3 Samuel was lying down in the Lord's house. That's where the ark of God was kept. The lamp of God was still burning.
4 The Lord called out to Samuel. Samuel answered, "Here I am."
5 He ran over to Eli. He said, "Here I am. You called out to me." But Eli said, "I didn't call you. Go back and lie down." So he went and lay down.
6 Again the Lord called out, "Samuel!" Samuel got up and went to Eli. He said, "Here I am. You called out to me." "My son," Eli said, "I didn't call you. Go back and lie down."
7 Samuel didn't know the Lord yet. That's because the Lord still hadn't given him a message.
8 The Lord called out to Samuel for the third time. Samuel got up and went to Eli. He said, "Here I am. You called out to me." Then Eli realized that the Lord was calling the boy.
9 So Eli told Samuel, "Go and lie down. If someone calls out to you again, say, 'Speak, Lord. I'm listening.' " So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
10 The Lord came and stood there. He called out, just as he had done the other times. He said, "Samuel! Samuel!" Then Samuel replied, "Speak. I'm listening."
11 The Lord said to Samuel, "Pay attention! I am about to do something terrible in Israel. It will make the ears of everyone who hears about it ring.
12 "At that time I will do everything to Eli and his family that I said I would. I will finish what I have started.
13 I told Eli I would punish his family forever. He knew his sons were sinning. He knew they were making fun of me. In spite of that, he failed to stop them.
14 "So I took an oath and made a promise to the family of Eli. I said, 'The sins of Eli's family will never be paid for by bringing sacrifices or offerings.' "
15 Samuel lay down until morning. Then he opened the doors of the Lord's house. He was afraid to tell Eli about the vision he had received.
16 But Eli called out to him. He said, "Samuel, my son." Samuel answered, "Here I am."
17 "What did the Lord say to you?" Eli asked. "Don't hide from me anything he told you. If you do, may God punish you greatly."
18 So Samuel told him everything. He didn't hide anything from him. Then Eli said, "He is the Lord. Let him do what he thinks is best."
19 As Samuel grew up, the Lord was with him. He made everything Samuel said come true.
20 So all of the people of Israel recognized that Samuel really was a prophet of the Lord. Everyone from Dan all the way to Beersheba knew it.
21 The Lord continued to appear at Shiloh. There he made himself known to Samuel through the messages he gave him.
1 And the child H5288 Samuel H8050 ministered H8334 unto the LORD H3068 EDS before H6440 L-CMP Eli H5941 . And the word H1697 W-CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS was H1961 VQQ3MS precious H3368 AMS in those H1992 D-PPRO-3MP days H3117 BD-NMP ; there was no H369 NPAR open H6555 vision H2377 .
2 And it came to pass H1961 W-VPY3MS at that time H3117 B-AMS , when H1931 D-PPRO-3MS Eli H5941 was laid down H7901 in his place H4725 , and his eyes H5869 began H2490 to wax dim H3544 , that he could H3201 VQY3MS not H3808 NADV see H7200 ;
3 And ere H2962 ADV the lamp H5216 of God H430 EDP went out H3518 in the temple H1964 of the LORD H3068 EDS , where H834 RPRO the ark H727 of God H430 NAME-4MP was , and Samuel H8050 was laid down H7901 to sleep ;
4 That the LORD H3068 EDS called H7121 W-VQY3MS Samuel H8050 : and he answered H559 W-VQY3MS , Here H2009 am I .
5 And he ran H7323 unto H413 PREP Eli H5941 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Here H2009 am I ; for H3588 CONJ thou calledst H7121 me . And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , I called H7121 VQQ1CS not H3808 ADV ; lie down H7901 again H7725 VQFC . And he went H1980 W-VQY3MS and lay down H7901 .
6 And the LORD H3068 EDS called H7121 yet H5750 ADV again H3254 W-VHPMS , Samuel H8050 . And Samuel H8050 arose H6965 W-VQY3MS and went H1980 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Eli H5941 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Here H2009 am I ; for H3588 CONJ thou didst call H7121 me . And he answered H559 W-VQY3MS , I called H7121 VQQ1CS not H3808 ADV , my son H1121 ; lie down H7901 again H7725 VQFC .
7 Now Samuel H8050 did not yet H2962 ADV know H3045 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , neither was the word H1697 CMS of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS yet H2962 revealed H1540 unto H413 PREP-3MS him .
8 And the LORD H3068 EDS called H7121 Samuel H8050 again H3254 W-VHPMS the third H7992 time . And he arose H6965 W-VQY3MS and went H1980 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Eli H5941 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Here H2009 am I ; for H3588 CONJ thou didst call H7121 me . And Eli H5941 perceived H995 that H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS had called H7121 VQPMS the child H5288 .
9 Therefore Eli H5941 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto Samuel H8050 , Go H1980 VQI2MS , lie down H7901 : and it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS , if H518 PART he call H7121 VQY3MS thee , that thou shalt say H559 W-VQY3MS , Speak H1696 VPFC , LORD H3068 EDS ; for H3588 CONJ thy servant H5650 heareth H8085 . So Samuel H8050 went H1980 W-VQY3MS and lay down H7901 W-VQY3MS in his place H4725 .
10 And the LORD H3068 EDS came H935 W-VQY3MS , and stood H3320 , and called H7121 W-VQY3MS as at other times H6471 , Samuel H8050 , Samuel H8050 . Then Samuel H8050 answered H559 W-VQY3MS , Speak H1696 VPFC ; for H3588 CONJ thy servant H5650 heareth H8085 .
11 And the LORD H3068 EDS said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Samuel H8050 , Behold H2009 IJEC , I H595 PPRO-1MS will do H6213 VQPMS a thing H1697 NMS in Israel H3478 , at which H834 RPRO both H8147 ONUM the ears H241 of every one H3605 NMS that heareth H8085 it shall tingle H6750 .
12 In that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS I will perform H6965 against H413 PREP Eli H5941 all H3605 NMS things which H834 RPRO I have spoken H1696 VPQ1MS concerning H413 PREP his house H1004 NMS-3MS : when I begin H2490 , I will also make an end H3615 .
13 For I have told H5046 him that H3588 CONJ I H589 PPRO-1MS will judge H8199 his house H1004 NMS-3MS forever H5704 PREP for the iniquity H5771 which H834 RPRO he knoweth H3045 VQQ3MS ; because H3588 CONJ his sons H1121 CMP-3MS made themselves vile H7043 , and he restrained H3543 them not H3808 W-NPAR .
14 And therefore H3651 I have sworn H7650 unto the house H1004 of Eli H5941 , that the iniquity H5771 of Eli H5941 \'s house H1004 CMS shall not H518 PART be purged H3722 with sacrifice H2077 nor offering H4503 forever H5704 PREP .
15 And Samuel H8050 lay H7901 W-VQY3MS until H5704 PREP the morning H1242 , and opened H6605 W-VQY3MS the doors H1817 of the house H1004 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS . And Samuel H8050 feared H3372 VQQ3MS to show H5046 Eli H5941 the vision H4759 .
16 Then Eli H5941 called H7121 W-VQY3MS Samuel H8050 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Samuel H8050 , my son H1121 NMS-1MS . And he answered H559 W-VQY3MS , Here H2009 am I .
17 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , What H4100 IGAT is the thing H1697 D-NMS that H834 RPRO the LORD hath said H1696 VPQ3MS unto H413 PREP-2MS thee ? I pray thee H4994 IJEC hide H3582 it not H408 NPAR from H4480 M-PREP-1MS me : God H430 EDP do H6213 VQY3MS so H3541 to thee , and more H3254 also H3541 , if H518 PART thou hide H3582 any thing H1697 VQPMS from H4480 M-PREP-1MS me of all H3605 M-CMS the things H1697 D-NMS that H834 RPRO he said H1696 VPQ3MS unto H413 thee .
18 And Samuel H8050 told H5046 him every H3605 NMS whit H1697 AMP , and hid H3582 nothing H3808 W-NPAR from H4480 M-PREP-3MS him . And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , It H1931 PPRO-3MS is the LORD H3068 EDS : let him do H6213 VQY3MS what seemeth H5869 him good H2896 D-NMS .
19 And Samuel H8050 grew H1431 , and the LORD H3068 W-EDS was H1961 VQQ3MS with H5973 PREP-3MS him , and did let none H3808 W-NPAR of his words H1697 CMP-3MS fall H5307 to the ground H776 NFS-3FS .
20 And all H3605 NMS Israel H3478 from Dan H1835 even to H5704 W-PREP Beer H884 - sheba knew H3045 W-VQY3MS that H3588 CONJ Samuel H8050 was established H539 to be a prophet H5030 of the LORD H3068 .
21 And the LORD H3068 EDS appeared H7200 again H3254 W-VHPMS in Shiloh H7887 : for H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS revealed himself H1540 to H413 PREP Samuel H8050 in Shiloh H7887 by the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
