and the lamp of G-d was not yet gone out, and Samuel was laid down to sleep in the temple of HaShem, where the ark of G-d was,

that HaShem called Samuel; and he said: 'Here am I.'

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

And he ran unto Eli, and said: 'Here am I; for thou didst call me.' And he said: 'I called not; lie down again.' And he went and lay down.

And he ran to Eli, 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.

And HaShem called yet again Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said: 'Here am I; for thou didst call me.' And he answered: 'I called not, my son; lie down again.'

And the Lord called again, Samuel, Samuel: and he went to Eli 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.

Now Samuel did not yet know HaShem, neither was the word of HaShem yet revealed unto him.

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

And HaShem called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said: 'Here am I; for thou didst call me.' And Eli perceived that HaShem was calling the child.

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

Therefore Eli said unto Samuel: 'Go, lie down; and it shall be, if thou be called, that thou shalt say: Speak, HaShem; for Thy servant heareth.' So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

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.

And HaShem came, and stood, and called as at other times: 'Samuel, Samuel.' Then Samuel said: 'Speak; for Thy servant heareth.'

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

And HaShem said to Samuel: 'Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.

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

In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even unto the end.

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

For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever, for the iniquity, in that he knew that his sons did bring a curse upon themselves, and he rebuked them not.

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.

And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be expiated with sacrifice nor offering for ever.'

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 forever.

And he said: 'What is the thing that He hath spoken unto thee? I pray thee, hide it not from me, G-d do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide any thing from me of all the things that He spoke unto thee.'

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 anything of all the words that were spoken to thee in thine ears.

And Samuel told him all the words, and hid nothing from him. And he said: 'It is HaShem; let Him do what seemeth Him good.'

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

And Samuel grew, and HaShem was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.

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

And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of HaShem.

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

And HaShem appeared again in Shiloh; for HaShem revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of HaShem.

And the Lord manifested himself again in Shiloh, 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 Eli [was] very old, and his sons kept advancing [in wickedness], and their way [was] evil before the Lord.
