1 Samuel 3 - Bíblia Online

Entretanto, o menino Samuel continuava a servir o Senhor, como assistente de Eli. As mensagens directas, da parte do Senhor, eram muito raras naqueles tempos, 
mas uma certa noite aconteceu o seguinte:Eli, que tinha já quase perdido a vista devido à sua muita idade, foi deitar-se; Samuel dormia também no templo, perto da arca. 
E o Senhor chamou por ele: Samuel! Samuel!Sim! Que é?, respondeu Samuel. 
Levantou-se e correu ter com Eli: Aqui estou. Que desejas? Mas eu não te chamei, disse-lhe Eli. Vai já deitar-te. Samuel retirou-se e foi outra vez deitar-se. 
Então o Senhor chamou-o novamente; Samuel tornou a saltar da cama e a ir ter com Eli: Que é? Necessitas de alguma coisa? Mas eu não te chamei, meu filho, respondeu-lhe Eli. Vai outra vez para a cama. 
(Samuel nunca tinha recebido mensagem alguma da parte de Jeová, anteriormente.) 
Então o Senhor chamou por ele terceira vez, e tal como antes, Samuel ergueu-se da cama e apresentou-se junto de Eli: De que é que precisas? Mas desta vez Eli deu-se conta de que era o Senhor falando com a criança. 
Por isso disse a Samuel: Olha, vai deitar-te de novo e se ouvires chamar-te mais uma vez, diz assim, 'Fala, Senhor, porque o teu servo está a ouvir'. Então Samuel voltou para a cama. 
E o Senhor chamou-o como das outras vezes: Samuel! Samuel!E Samuel respondeu: Fala, Senhor, porque o teu servo está a ouvir. 
E o Senhor disse a Samuel: Vou fazer algo de espantoso em Israel. Vou dar cumprimento a todas as tremendas coisas de que avisei Eli. Avisei-o continuamente, a ele e à sua família, de que os castigaria por causa dos filhos andarem a blasfemar de Deus, sem que ele tivesse feito nada para os impedir. Agora pois, jurei que os pecados de Eli e dos seus filhos não serão mais perdoados com sacrifícios ou ofertas. 
Samuel ficou na cama até amanhecer; depois abriu as portas do templo como habitualmente, mas estava com receio de dizer a Eli o que o Senhor lhe mandara. 
No entanto Eli chamou-o: Meu filho, o que é que o Senhor te disse? Conta-me tudo. E que o Senhor te castigue a ti se me esconderes alguma coisa! 
Então Samuel comunicou-lhe tudo o que o Senhor lhe dissera. É a vontade do Senhor, replicou; que ele faça o que melhor lhe parecer. 
Enquanto Samuel crescia, o Senhor estava com ele; e cumpriu com tudo quanto tinha prometido. Todo Israel, de Dan até Berseba, ficou sabendo que Samuel tinha sido confirmado como profeta do Senhor. O Senhor continuou a transmitir mensagens, em Silo no tabernáculo, e ele comunicava-as ao povo de Israel. 

And the lad Samuel ministered to Yahweh before Eli. And the word of Yahweh was precious in those days; there was no frequent vision. 
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), 
and the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was laying down [to sleep], in the temple of Yahweh, where the ark of God was; 
that Yahweh called Samuel; and he said, Here I am. 
And he ran to Eli, and said, Here I am; for you called me. And he said, I didn't call; lie down again. And he went and lay down. 
And Yahweh called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here I am; for you called me. And he answered, I didn't call, my son; lie down again. 
Now Samuel did not yet know Yahweh, neither was the word of Yahweh yet revealed to him. 
And Yahweh called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here I am; for you called me. And Eli perceived that Yahweh had called the lad. 
Therefore Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie down: and it will be, if he calls you, that you will say, Speak, Yahweh; for your slave hears. So Samuel went and lay down in his place. 
And Yahweh came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel said, Speak; for your slave hears. 
And Yahweh said to Samuel, Look, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of everyone who hears it will tingle. 
In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even to the end. 
For I have told him that I will judge his house forever, for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons cursed God, and he did not restrain them. 
And therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house will not be expiated with sacrifice nor offering forever. 
And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Yahweh. And Samuel feared to show Eli the vision. 
Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he said, Here I am. 
And he said, What is the thing that [Yahweh] has spoken to you? I pray you, don't hide it from me: God do so to you, and more also, if you hide anything from me of all the things that he spoke to you. 
And Samuel told him every bit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is Yahweh: he will do what seems good to him. 
And Samuel grew, and Yahweh was with him, and did not let any of his words fall to the ground. 
And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of Yahweh. 
And Yahweh appeared again in Shiloh; for Yahweh revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of Yahweh.
