¹

And the child Samuel ministered to the Lord before Heli the priest: and the word of the Lord was precious in those days, there was no distinct vision.

¹

ЭОтро'чище же самои^лъ б^њ слђжа гв~и прDе и^лі'емъ і^е^ре'ем#. и^ гл~ъ гн~ь б^њ че'стенъ, в ты` дн~и, не бњ` видњ'нїе посыла'емо”

²

And it came to pass at that time that Heli was sleeping in his place; and his eyes began to fail, and could not see.

²

И$ бы'сть въ дн~и т^ы і^ и^лі'и сњдя'ше на мњ'стњ свое^мъ, и^ ѓ%чи е^го нача'ста тя'жцњ бы'ти. и^ не можаа'ше зрњти”

³

And the lamp of God was burning before it was trimmed, and Samuel slept in the temple, where was the ark of God.

³

И$ прежде да'же ё^гасе` свњти'лникъ бж~їи. самои^лъ спа'ше въ цр~кви гн~и, и^дњ'же књѓ'тъ бж~їи”

⁴

And the Lord called, Samuel, Samuel; and he said, Behold, here am I.

⁴

И$ възва` г~ь гл~я, само'и^ле, само'и^ле, и^ рече с^е а^зъ”

⁵

And he ran to Heli, and said, Here am I, for thou didst call me: and he said, I did not call thee; return, go to sleep; and he returned and went to sleep.

⁵

И$ тече` къ и^лі'ю, и^ реq с^е а^зъ ја%ко зваl мя е^си. и^ рече и^лі'и не възваX тебе`, възврати'ся и^ спи` и^ възврати'ся и^ спа`”

⁶

And the Lord called again, Samuel, Samuel: and he went to Heli the second time, and said, Behold here am I, for thou didst call me: and he said, I called thee not; return, go to sleep.

⁶

И$ приложи` г~ь е^ще` призва'ти само'и^ла, и^ възва`, само'и^лъ, само'и^лъ, и^ въста` само'и^лъ, і^ и'де къ и^лі'и втори'цею и^ рече, с^е а^зъ ја%ко възва'лъ мя е^си. и^ реq, не зва'хъ тебе` ча'до. възврати'ся и^ спи`”

⁷

And it was before Samuel knew the Lord, and before the word of the Lord was revealed to him.

⁷

И$ самои^лъ же в т^о вре'мя е^ще` не зна` б~а. пре'жDе эTкрове'нїа е^мђ гла'са гн~я”

⁸

And the Lord called Samuel again for the third time: and he arose and went to Heli, and said, Behold, I am here, for thou didst call me: and Heli perceived that the Lord had called the child.

⁸

И$ приложи` г~ь призва'ти само'и^ла трети'цею. и^ въста'въ и^де къ и^лі'и, и^ рече, с^е а^зъ ја%ко зва'лъ мя е^си. и^ разђмњ и^лі'и ја%ко г~ь призыва'етъ ѓ^тро'чища” И$ реq възвра'щся и^ спи` ча'до,

⁹

And he said, Return, child, go to sleep; and it shall come to pass if he shall call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, for thy servant hears: and Samuel went and lay down in his place.

⁹

и^ бђ'детъ а^ще възове'тъ т^я зовы'и, и^ рече'ши. гл~и г~и, ја%ко слы'шитъ ра'бъ тво'и. і^ и'де само'и^лъ и^ спа` на мњ'стњ свое^мъ”

¹⁰

And the Lord came, and stood, and called him as before: and Samuel said, Speak, for thy servant hears.

¹⁰

И$ прїиде г~ь и^ ста`, и^ възва` е^го ја%коже пр'ьвое, и^ второ'е, и^ реq, само'и^лъ, само'и^лъ, гл~и г~и, ја%ко слы'шитъ ра'бъ тво'и”

¹¹

And the Lord said to Samuel, Behold, I execute my words in Israel; whoever hears them, both his ears shall tingle.

¹¹

И$ реq г~ь къ само'и^лђ. с^е а^зъ творю` гл~ы моя` въ і^и^л~и, ја%коже всњмъ слы'шащиM сїя. пошђмњта ѓ%бњ ё%ши е^го”

¹²

In that day I will raise up against Heli all things that I have said against his house; I will begin, and I will make an end.

¹²

И$ въ дн~ь то'й въздви'гнђ на и^лі'и, вс^е е^ли'ко гл~ахъ до'мђ е^го. начнђ и^ сконча'ю”

¹³

And I have told him that I will be avenged on his house perpetually for the iniquities of his sons, because his sons spoke evil against God, and he did not admonish them.

¹³

И$ възвњстиX е^мђ, ја%ко эTм#щђ а^зъ на до'мњ е^го до' вњка, в непра'вдахъ сн~овъ е^го ја%же вњ'дњ. ја%ко ѕл^ослови'ста б~а сн~ове е^го, и^ не наказа` е^ю`”

¹⁴

And it shall not go on so; I have sworn to the house of Eli, the iniquity of the house of Eli shall not be atoned for with incense or sacrifices for ever.

¹⁴

Сего ради кляXся до'мђ и^лі'и^нђ, ја%ко не ѓ%чи'стится непра'вда до'мђ и^лі'и^на. в кади'лахъ и^ жр'ътвахъ е^го до' вњка”

¹⁵

And Samuel slept till morning, and rose early in the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the Lord; and Samuel feared to tell Heli the vision.

¹⁵

И$ спа` само'и^лъ до ё%тра, и^ ё^тренева заё%тра и^ эTвр'ьзе две'ри хра'ма гн~я. самои^л# же боя'ся повњ'дати видњ'нїя и^лі'и”

¹⁶

And Heli said to Samuel, Samuel, my son; and he said, Behold, here am I.

¹⁶

И$ възва` и^лі'и само'и^ла и^ реq. само'и^ле ча'до, и^ реq с^е а^зъ”

¹⁷

And he said, What was the word that was spoken to thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: may God do these things to thee, and more also, if thou hide from me any thing of all the words that were spoken to thee in thine ears.

¹⁷

И$ рече и^лі'и. чт^о гл~ъ гл~аныи к тебњ`. не съкры'и ё^бо эT мене` гл~а, эT всњхъ слове'съ гл~аныX к тебњ`. молю` т^я не ё^та'и предо мно'ю. сїя сътвори'тъ тебњ` г~ь, и^ сїа приложи'тъ а^ще ё^та'иши эT мене` эT всXњ гл~ъ, гл~анныX к тебњ`”

¹⁸

And Samuel reported all the words, and hid them not from him. And Heli said, He is the Lord, he shall do that which is good in his sight.

¹⁸

І$ и^сповњда само'и^лъ и^ не ё^таи` эT него ни е^ді'наго гл~а. и^ реq и^лі'и. г~ь самъ е^сть ја%ко го'дњ бы'сть е^мђ та'ко да сътвори'тъ”

¹⁹

And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and there did not fall one of his words to the ground.

¹⁹

И$ възвелича'шеся само'и^лъ. и^ г~ь б^њ с ни'мъ и^ не паде` эT всњхъ слове'съ е^го на земли` ни е^ді'нъ гл~ъ”

²⁰

And all Israel knew from Dan even to Bersabee, that Samuel was faithful as a prophet to the Lord.

²⁰

И$ разђмњша вс^и і^и^л~ьти эT да'на, даже и^ до вирса'вїа, ја%ко вњ'ренъ само'и^лъ г~ђ въ пррoцњх#”

²¹

And the Lord manifested himself again in Selom, for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel; and Samuel was accredited to all Israel as a prophet to the Lord from one end of the land to the other: and Heli was very old, and his sons kept advancing in wickedness, and their way was evil before the Lord.

²¹

И$ приложи` г~ь възвњсти'тися в силоM, ја^ви' бо ся г~ь самои^лђ, и^ вњ'ренъ бы'сть въ пррoцњхъ само'и^лъ къ г~ђ въ все'мъ і^и^л~и, эT конца` до ко'нца земли`, і^ и^лі'и състарњ'ся ѕњло, и^ сн~а е^го ходя'ще хожа'ста лђка'вїи пђтїе и^хъ преD гм~ъ”
