3 — 1 Re (1 Samuele)

1Now the child Samuel ministered to the Lord before Heli, and the word of the Lord was precious in those days, there was no manifest vision.Ma il giovinetto Samuele serviva al Signore sotto gli occhi di Heli, e di rado avveniva in que' giorni che parlasse il Signore: non era comune la profezia.AND the childe Samuel ministred to our Lord before Heli, and the word of our Lord was precious in those daies, there was no vision manifest.Puer autem Samuel ministrabat Domino coram Heli, et sermo Domini erat pretiosus in diebus illis: non erat visio manifesta. 2And it came to pass one day when Heli lay in his place, and his eyes were grown dim, that he could not see:Or avvenne una volta, che mentre Heli dormiva nel luogo consueto (e gli occhi di lui erano ottenebrati, ed ei durava fatica a vedere):It came to passe therfore on a certayne day Heli lay in his place, and his eies were become dimme, neither could he see.Factum est ergo in die quadam, Heli jacebat in loco suo, et oculi ejus caligaverant, nec poterat videre: 3Before the lamp of God went out, Samuel slept in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was.Non essendo ancora spenta la lampana di Dio, Samuele dormiva nel tempio del Signore, dov'era l'arca di Dio.before the lampe of God was extinguished, Samuel slept in the temple of our Lord, where the arke of God was.lucerna Dei antequam extingueretur, Samuel dormiebat in templo Domini, ubi erat arca Dei. 4And the Lord called Samuel. And he answered: Here am I.E il Signore chiamò Samuele: il quale rispose: Eccomi.And our Lord called Samuel. Who answering, said: Loe here I am.Et vocavit Dominus Samuel. Qui respondens, ait: Ecce ego. 5And he ran to Heli, and said: Here am I: for thou didst call me. He said: I did not call: go back and sleep. And he went and slept.E corse ad Heli, e disse: Eccomi, poiché tu mi hai chiamato. E quegli disse: Non ti ho chiamato, vattene, e dormi. Ed egli se n'andò a dormire.And he ranne to Heli and said: Loe here I am: for thou didst cal me. Who saied: I did not cal thee: returne and sleepe. And he went and slept.Et cucurrit ad Heli, et dixit: Ecce ego: vocasti enim me. Qui dixit: Non vocavi: revertere, et dormi. Et abiit, et dormivit. 6And the Lord called Samuel again. And Samuel arose and went to Heli, and said: Here am I: for thou calledst me. He answered: I did not call thee, my son: return and sleep.E il Signore tornò di nuovo a chiamar Samuele. E questi alzatosi andò ad Heli, e disse: Eccomi, poiché tu mi hai chiamato. E questi rispose: Figliuolo mio, io non ti ho chiamato: ritorna a dormire.And our Lord added againe to cal Samuel. And Samuel rysing vp went to Heli, and said: Loe here I am: because thou didst cal me. Who answered: I did not cal thee my sonne: returne and sleepe.Et adjecit Dominus rursum vocare Samuelem. Consurgensque Samuel, abiit ad Heli, et dixit: Ecce ego, quia vocasti me. Qui respondit: Non vocavi te, fili mi: revertere et dormi.

7Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, neither had the word of the Lord been revealed to him.Or Samuele non avea ancora conoscenza del Signore, e non sapea distinguere la parola del Signore.Moreouer Samuel did not yet know our Lord, neither had the word of our Lord beene reueled to him.Porro Samuel necdum sciebat Dominum, neque revelatus fuerat ei sermo Domini. 8And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. And he arose up and went to Heli,E il Signore tornò di bel nuovo a chiamare per la terza volta Samuele. Ed egli si alzò, e andò da Heli,And our Lord added, and called Samuel yet the third time. Who rysing vp went to Heli,Et adjecit Dominus, et vocavit adhuc Samuelem tertio. Qui consurgens abiit ad Heli, 9And said: Here am I: for thou didst call me. Then Heli understood that the Lord called the child, and he said to Samuel: Go, and sleep: and if he shall call thee any more, thou shalt say: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went, and slept in his place.E disse: Eccomi, poiché tu mi hai chiamato. Comprese adunque Heli che il Signore avea chiamato il garzone, e disse a Samuele: Va, e dormi: e se in appresso ti chiamerà, tu dirai: Parla, o Signore, perocché il tuo servo sta ascoltando. Andò adunque Samuele al suo posto, e si addormentò.and said: Loe here I am: because thou didst cal me. Heli therfore vnderstood that our Lord called the childe, and said to Samuel: Goe, & sleepe: & if he shal cal the hereafter, thou shalt saie: Speake Lord, for thy seruant heareth. Samuel therfore went & slept in his place.et ait: Ecce ego, quia vocasti me. Intellexit ergo Heli quia Dominus vocaret puerum: et ait ad Samuelem: Vade, et dormi: et si deinceps vocaverit te, dices: Loquere, Domine, quia audit servus tuus. Abiit ergo Samuel, et dormivit in loco suo. 10And the Lord came, and stood, and he called, as he had called the other times, Samuel, Samuel. And Samuel said: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth.E il Signore venne, e si fermò: e chiamollo per due volte (come lo avea chiamato prima): Samuele, Samuele. E Samuele disse: Parla, o Signore, perocché il tuo servo sta ascoltando.And our Lord came, and stoode: and he called, as he had called twise, Samuel, Samuel. And Samuel sayd: Speake Lord for thy seruant heareth.Et venit Dominus, et stetit: et vocavit, sicut vocaverat secundo: Samuel, Samuel. Et ait Samuel: Loquere, Domine, quia audit servus tuus. 11And the Lord said to Samuel: Behold I do a thing in Israel: and whosoever shall hear it, both his ears shall tingle.E il Signore disse a Samuele: Ecco che io fo tal cosa in Israele, che a chiunque l'udirà, fischieranno ambedue le orecchie.And our Lord said to Samuel: Behold I doe a thing in Israel: which whosoeuer shal heare, both his eares shal tingle.Et dixit Dominus ad Samuelem: Ecce ego facio verbum in Israël, quod quicumque audierit, tinnient ambæ aures ejus.

12In that day I will raise up against Heli all the things I have spoken concerning his house: I will begin, and I will make an end.In quel giorno io porrò in essere a danno di Heli tutte quelle cose che ho annunziate riguardo alla casa di lui: io principierò, e finirò.In that day wil I rayse vp against Heli al thinges which I haue spoken touching his house: I wil beginne, and accomplish it.In die illa suscitabo adversum Heli omnia quæ locutus sum super domum ejus: incipiam, et complebo. 13For I have foretold unto him, that I will judge his house for ever, for iniquity, because he knew that his sons did wickedly, and did not chastise them.Imperocché io gli ho predetto che avrei esercitati i miei giudizii sopra la casa di lui in eterno per ragion della iniquità: perocché egli sapeva che i suoi figliuoli viveano indegnamente, e non gli ha corretti.For I haue foretold him that I would iudge his house for euer, because of iniquitie, for that he knewe that his sonnes did wickedly, and hath not corrected them.Prædixi enim ei quod judicaturus essem domum ejus in æternum propter iniquitatem, eo quod noverat indigne agere filios suos, et non corripuerit eos. 14Therefore have I sworn to the house of Heli, that the iniquity of his house shall not be expiated with victims nor offerings for ever.Per questo ho giurato alla casa di Heli, che l'iniquità di questa casa non sarà espiata in eterno colle vittime nè co'doni.Therfore haue I sworne to the house of Heli, that the iniquitie of his house can not be expiated with victimes and giftes for euer.Idcirco juravi domui Heli quod non expietur iniquitas domus ejus victimis et muneribus usque in æternum. 15And Samuel slept till morning, and opened the doors of the house of the Lord. And Samuel feared to tell the vision to Heli.E Samuele dormì sino alla mattina, e aprì le porte della casa del Signore. E Samuele non avea cuore di partecipare ad Heli la visione (del Signore).And Samuel slept vntil morning, and opened the doores of the house of our Lord. And Samuel feared to tel the vision vnto Heli.Dormivit autem Samuel usque mane, aperuitque ostia domus Domini. Et Samuel timebat indicare visionem Heli. 16Then Heli called Samuel, and said: Samuel, my son. And he answered: Here am I.Heli pertanto chiamò Samuele, e disse: Samuele figlio mio! Questi rispose: Eccomi qui.Heli therfore called Samuel, and said: Samuel my sonne: Who answering, said: Here I am.Vocavit ergo Heli Samuelem, et dixit: Samuel fili mi ? Qui respondens ait: Præsto sum. 17And he asked him: What is the word that the Lord hath spoken to thee? I beseech thee hide it not from me. May God do so and so to thee, and add so and so, if thou hide from me one word of all that were said to thee.Heli gli domandò: Che è quello che ti ha detto il Signore? ti prego di non tenermelo nascoso: Dio ti faccia questo, e peggio, se mi nascondi una sola parola di tutte quelle che sono state dette a te.And he asked him: What is the word, that our Lord hath spoken to thee? I besech thee conceale it not from me. These thinges doe God to thee, and these doe he adde, if thou shalt hide from me a word of al the wordes, which were said to thee.Et interrogavit eum: Quis est sermo, quem locutus est Dominus ad te ? oro te ne celaveris me: hæc faciat tibi Deus, et hæc addat, si absconderis a me sermonem ex omnibus verbis quæ dicta sunt tibi.

18So Samuel told him all the words, and did not hide them from him. And he answered: It is the Lord: let him do what is good in his sight.Samuele adunque riferì a lui tutte quante le parole senza tacerne veruna. E quegli rispose: Egli è il Signore: faccia quello che negli occhi suoi è ben fatto.Samuel therfore told him al the wordes, & did not hide them from him. And he answered: It is our Lord: let him doe that which is good in his eies.Indicavit itaque ei Samuel universos sermones, et non abscondit ab eo. Et ille respondit: Dominus est: quod bonum est in oculis suis faciat. 19And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and not one of his words fell to the ground.E Samuele cresceva, e il Signore era con lui, e di tutte le sue parole neppur una cadde per terra.And Samuel grewe, and our Lord was with him, and there fel not of his wordes vpon the ground.Crevit autem Samuel, et Dominus erat cum eo, et non cecidit ex omnibus verbis ejus in terram. 20And all Israel, from Dan to Bersabee, knew that Samuel was a faithful prophet of the Lord.E conobbe tutto Israele da Dan sino a Bersabea, come Samuele era fedel profeta del Signore.And al Israel knewe from Dan to Bersabee, that faithful Samuel was the prophet of our Lord.Et cognovit universus Israël, a Dan usque Bersabee, quod fidelis Samuel propheta esset Domini. 21And the Lord again appeared in Silo, for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Silo, according to the word of the Lord. And the word of Samuel came to pass to all Israel.E il Signore tornò ad apparire (a lui) in Silo, perocché in Silo si era manifestato il Signore a Samuele, secondo la parola del Signore. Ed ebbero effetto le parole di Samuele per tutto Israele.And our Lord added to appeare in Silo, because our Lord had bene reueled to Samuel in Silo, according to the word of our Lord. And the word of Samuel came to passe to al Israel.Et addidit Dominus ut appareret in Silo, quoniam revelatus fuerat Dominus Samueli in Silo juxta verbum Domini. Et evenit sermo Samuelis universo Israëli.
