| 1 | Le jeune Samuel était au service de l'Éternel devant Éli. La parole de l'Éternel était rare en ce temps-là, les visions n'étaient pas fréquentes. | And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision. | And the child Samuel ministered unto Jehovah before Eli. And the word of Jehovah was precious in those days; there was no frequent vision. |
| 2 | En ce même temps, Éli, qui commençait à avoir les yeux troubles et ne pouvait plus voir, était couché à sa place, | And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see; | And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place (now his eyes had begun to wax dim, so that he could not see), |
| 3 | la lampe de Dieu n'était pas encore éteinte, et Samuel était couché dans le temple de l'Éternel, où était l'arche de Dieu. | And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep; | and the lamp of God was not yet gone out, and Samuel was laid down [to sleep], in the temple of Jehovah, where the ark of God was; |
| 4 | Alors l'Éternel appela Samuel. Il répondit : Me voici ! | That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I. | that Jehovah called Samuel; and he said, Here am I. |
| 5 | Et il courut vers Éli, et dit : Me voici, car tu m'as appelé. Éli répondit : Je n'ai point appelé ; retourne te coucher. Et il alla se coucher. | And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down. | And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down. |
| 6 | L'Éternel appela de nouveau Samuel. Et Samuel se leva, alla vers Éli, et dit : Me voici, car tu m'as appelé. Éli répondit : Je n'ai point appelé, mon fils, retourne te coucher. | And the LORD 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 Jehovah called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again. |
| 7 | Samuel ne connaissait pas encore l'Éternel, et la parole de l'Éternel ne lui avait pas encore été révélée. | Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him. | Now Samuel did not yet know Jehovah, neither was the word of Jehovah yet revealed unto him. |
| 8 | L'Éternel appela de nouveau Samuel, pour la troisième fois. Et Samuel se leva, alla vers Éli, et dit : Me voici, car tu m'as appelé. Éli comprit que c'était l'Éternel qui appelait l'enfant, | And the LORD 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 the LORD had called the child. | And Jehovah called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And Eli perceived that Jehovah had called the child. |
| 9 | et il dit à Samuel : Va, couche-toi ; et si l'on t'appelle, tu diras : Parle, Éternel, car ton serviteur écoute. Et Samuel alla se coucher à sa place. | Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place. | Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, Jehovah; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place. |
| 10 | L'Éternel vint et se présenta, et il appela comme les autres fois : Samuel, Samuel ! Et Samuel répondit : Parle, car ton serviteur écoute. | And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth. | And Jehovah came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel said, Speak; for thy servant heareth. |
| 11 | Alors l'Éternel dit à Samuel : Voici, je vais faire en Israël une chose qui étourdira les oreilles de quiconque l'entendra. | And the LORD 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 Jehovah said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle. |
| 12 | En ce jour j'accomplirai sur Éli tout ce que j'ai prononcé contre sa maison ; je commencerai et j'achèverai. | In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end. | In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even unto the end. |
| 13 | Je lui ai déclaré que je veux punir sa maison à perpétuité, à cause du crime dont il a connaissance, et par lequel ses fils se sont rendus méprisables, sans qu'il les ait réprimés. | For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not. | For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever, for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons did bring a curse upon themselves, and he restrained them not. |
| 14 | C'est pourquoi je jure à la maison d'Éli que jamais le crime de la maison d'Éli ne sera expié, ni par des sacrifices ni par des offrandes. | And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever. | 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. |
| 15 | Samuel resta couché jusqu'au matin, puis il ouvrit les portes de la maison de l'Éternel. Samuel craignait de raconter la vision à Éli. | And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to shew Eli the vision. | And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Jehovah. And Samuel feared to show Eli the vision. |
| 16 | Mais Éli appela Samuel, et dit : Samuel, mon fils ! Il répondit : Me voici ! | Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I. | Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he said, Here am I. |
| 17 | Et Éli dit : Quelle est la parole que t'a adressée l'Éternel ? Ne me cache rien. Que Dieu te traite dans toute sa rigueur, si tu me caches quelque chose de tout ce qu'il t'a dit ! | And he said, What is the thing that the LORD hath said unto thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide any thing from me of all the things that he said unto thee. | And he said, What is the thing that [Jehovah] hath spoken unto thee? I pray thee, hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide anything from me of all the things that he spake unto thee. |
| 18 | Samuel lui raconta tout, sans lui rien cacher. Et Éli dit : C'est l'Éternel, qu'il fasse ce qui lui semblera bon ! | And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is the LORD: let him do what seemeth him good. | And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is Jehovah: let him do what seemeth him good. |
| 19 | Samuel grandissait. L'Éternel était avec lui, et il ne laissa tomber à terre aucune de ses paroles. | And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground. | And Samuel grew, and Jehovah was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground. |
| 20 | Tout Israël, depuis Dan jusqu'à Beer Schéba, reconnut que Samuel était établi prophète de l'Éternel. | And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD. | And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of Jehovah. |
| 21 | L'Éternel continuait à apparaître dans Silo ; car l'Éternel se révélait à Samuel, dans Silo, par la parole de l'Éternel. | And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD. | And Jehovah appeared again in Shiloh; for Jehovah revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of Jehovah. |
