Herren taler til Samuel og gør ham til profet

1-2 På den tid var et budskab fra Herren en sjældenhed, og et syn var noget ganske usædvanligt. Samuel var endnu ganske ung og gjorde tjeneste i helligdommen under opsyn af Eli, som nu var næsten helt blind. En aften skete der noget. Eli havde lagt sig til at sove på sin sædvanlige plads. 3 Lamperne brændte for Guds ansigt inde i helligdommen, hvor Samuel havde lagt sig til hvile, og hvor pagtens ark også stod. 4 Pludselig kaldte Herren: „Samuel! Samuel!” „Ja,” svarede Samuel 5 og løb ind til Eli: „Du kaldte? Her er jeg!” Men Eli svarede: „Nej, jeg kaldte ikke på dig. Gå du bare ind og læg dig igen.” Det gjorde Samuel så. 6 Men Herren kaldte igen: „Samuel! Samuel!” Atter sprang Samuel op og løb ind til Eli: „Du kaldte! Hvad er der?” „Nej,” svarede Eli, „jeg kaldte ikke. Gå nu ind og læg dig.” 7 Samuel vidste ikke, at det var Herren, som kaldte, for han havde aldrig før oplevet, at Herren talte til ham. 8 Så da Herren kaldte for tredje gang, sprang Samuel igen op, løb ind til Eli og sagde: „Du kaldte! Hvad kan jeg hjælpe dig med?” Da gik det op for Eli, at det var Herren, som havde kaldt på drengen; 9 og han sagde til Samuel: „Gå ind og læg dig. Hvis nogen kalder på dig igen, skal du svare: ‚Ja, Herre, din tjener lytter.’ ” Så gik Samuel tilbage og lagde sig igen. 10 Da kom Herren og kaldte på ham som før: „Samuel! Samuel!” Denne gang svarede Samuel: „Ja, Herre, din tjener lytter.” 11 „Jeg vil lade noget ske i Israel, som vil chokere enhver, der hører om det,” sagde Herren. 12 „Da vil alt det, jeg har forudsagt om Elis slægt, gå i opfyldelse. 13 Sig til ham, at hans slægt er dømt for evigt, for selv om han vidste, at hans sønner ringeagtede mig, så gjorde han intet for at standse dem. 14 Derfor har jeg svoret, at Elis og hans sønners synd aldrig vil blive tilgivet ved nogen form for offer.” 15 Samuel blev liggende til det blev morgen. Så åbnede han døren til helligdommen og gik udenfor; for han var bange for at fortælle Eli, hvad Herren havde sagt. 16 Imidlertid kaldte Eli på ham: „Samuel, min dreng!” „Ja,” svarede Samuel. 17 „Hvad sagde Herren?” spurgte Eli. „Fortæl mig det hele. Må Gud straffe dig, hvis du skjuler noget for mig!” 18 Så fortalte Samuel ham alt, hvad Herren havde sagt. „Hvem kan sætte sig op mod Herren?” sukkede Eli. „Han må gøre, hvad han finder bedst.” 19 Herren velsignede Samuel allerede under hans opvækst og opfyldte alle de profetiske ord, han gav ham, 20 så hele Israel fra Dan i nord til Be’ersheba i syd var klar over, at Samuel var en sand profet. 21 Herren fortsatte med at åbenbare sig i Shilo, og Samuel gav Guds åbenbaring videre.

The Lord Calls Samuel

1 Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the Lord in the presence of Eli. And the word of the Lord was rare in those days; there was no frequent vision. (1.Sam 2,11; 1.Sam 2,18; 1.Sam 3,21; Salm 74,9; Amos 8,11)

1.Sam 2,111.Sam 2,181.Sam 3,21Salm 74,9Amos 8,11

2 At that time Eli, whose eyesight had begun to grow dim so that he could not see, was lying down in his own place. (1.Mos 27,1; 1.Mos 48,10; 5.Mos 34,7; 1.Sam 4,15)

1.Mos 27,11.Mos 48,105.Mos 34,71.Sam 4,15

3 The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was. (2.Mos 27,20; 3.Mos 24,2; 1.Sam 1,9; 2.Krøn 13,11)

2.Mos 27,203.Mos 24,21.Sam 1,92.Krøn 13,11

4 Then the Lord called Samuel, and he said, “Here I am!” 5 and ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call; lie down again.” So he went and lay down. 6 And the Lord called again, “Samuel!” and Samuel arose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call, my son; lie down again.” 7 Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, and the word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him. 8 And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” Then Eli perceived that the Lord was calling the boy. 9 Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down, and if he calls you, you shall say, ‘Speak, Lord, for your servant hears.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place. 10 And the Lord came and stood, calling as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant hears.” 11 Then the Lord said to Samuel, “Behold, I am about to do a thing in Israel at which the two ears of everyone who hears it will tingle. (2.Kong 21,12; Jer 19,3) 12 On that day I will fulfill against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end. (1.Sam 2,30) 13 And I declare to him that I am about to punish his house forever, for the iniquity that he knew, because his sons were blaspheming God,^[1] and he did not restrain them. (1.Sam 2,12; 1.Sam 2,17; 1.Sam 2,22; 1.Sam 2,23; 1.Sam 3,12)

1.Sam 2,121.Sam 2,171.Sam 2,221.Sam 2,231.Sam 3,12

14 Therefore I swear to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be atoned for by sacrifice or offering forever.” (Es 22,14) 15 Samuel lay until morning; then he opened the doors of the house of the Lord. And Samuel was afraid to tell the vision to Eli. 16 But Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son.” And he said, “Here I am.” 17 And Eli said, “What was it that he told you? Do not hide it from me. May God do so to you and more also if you hide anything from me of all that he told you.” (Ruth 1,17) 18 So Samuel told him everything and hid nothing from him. And he said, “It is the Lord. Let him do what seems good to him.” (2.Sam 10,12; Job 1,21; Job 2,10; Salm 39,9; Es 39,8)

2.Sam 10,12Job 1,21Job 2,10Salm 39,9Es 39,8

19 And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground. (1.Sam 2,21; 1.Sam 9,6) 20 And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established as a prophet of the Lord. (2.Sam 3,10) 21 And the Lord appeared again at Shiloh, for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel at Shiloh by the word of the Lord. (Josva 18,1; 1.Sam 3,1; 1.Sam 3,4)
