1 Samuel 2

KJV

1  And Hannah²⁵⁸⁴ prayed,⁶⁴¹⁹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ My heart³⁸²⁰ rejoiceth⁵⁹⁷⁰ in the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ mine horn⁷¹⁶¹ is exalted⁷³¹¹ in the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ my mouth⁶³¹⁰ is enlarged⁷³³⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ mine enemies;³⁴¹ because³⁵⁸⁸ I rejoice⁸⁰⁵⁵ in thy salvation.³⁴⁴⁴

2  There is none³⁶⁹ holy⁶⁹¹⁸ as the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ there is none³⁶⁹ beside¹¹¹⁵ thee: neither³⁶⁹ is there any rock⁶⁶⁹⁷ like our God.⁴³⁰

3  Talk¹⁶⁹⁶ no⁴⁰⁸ more⁷²³⁵ so exceeding proudly;^{1364 1364} let not arrogance⁶²⁷⁷ come out³³¹⁸ of your mouth:^{4480 6310} for³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is a God⁴¹⁰ of knowledge,¹⁸⁴⁴ and by him actions⁵⁹⁴⁹ are weighed.⁸⁵⁰⁵

4  The bows⁷¹⁹⁸ of the mighty men¹³⁶⁸ are broken,²⁸⁴⁴ and they that stumbled³⁷⁸² are girded²⁴⁷ with strength.²⁴²⁸

5  They that were full⁷⁶⁴⁹ have hired out themselves⁷⁹³⁶ for bread;³⁸⁹⁹ and they that were hungry⁷⁴⁵⁷ ceased:²³⁰⁸ so that⁵⁷⁰⁴ the barren⁶¹³⁵ hath born³²⁰⁵ seven;⁷⁶⁵¹ and she that hath many⁷²²⁷ children¹¹²¹ is waxed feeble.⁵³⁵

6  The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ killeth,⁴¹⁹¹ and maketh alive:²⁴²¹ he bringeth down³³⁸¹ to the grave,⁷⁵⁸⁵ and bringeth up.⁵⁹²⁷

7  The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ maketh poor,³⁴²³ and maketh rich:⁶²³⁸ he bringeth low,⁸²¹³ and⁶³⁷ lifteth up.⁷³¹¹

8  He raiseth up⁶⁹⁶⁵ the poor¹⁸⁰⁰ out of the dust,^{4480 6083} and lifteth up⁷³¹¹ the beggar³⁴ from the dunghill,^{4480 830} to set³⁴²⁷ them among⁵⁹⁷³ princes,⁵⁰⁸¹ and to make them inherit⁵¹⁵⁷ the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of glory:³⁵¹⁹ for³⁵⁸⁸ the pillars⁴⁶⁹⁰ of the earth⁷⁷⁶ are the LORD's,³⁰⁶⁸ and he hath set⁷⁸⁹⁶ the world⁸³⁹⁸ upon⁵⁹²¹ them.

9  He will keep⁸¹⁰⁴ the feet⁷²⁷² of his saints,²⁶²³ and the wicked⁷⁵⁶³ shall be silent¹⁸²⁶ in darkness;²⁸²² for³⁵⁸⁸ by strength³⁵⁸¹ shall no³⁸⁰⁸ man³⁷⁶ prevail.¹³⁹⁶

10  The adversaries⁷³⁷⁸ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall be broken to pieces;²⁸⁶⁵ out of heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ shall he thunder⁷⁴⁸¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ them: the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall judge¹⁷⁷⁷ the ends⁶⁵⁷ of the earth;⁷⁷⁶ and he shall give⁵⁴¹⁴ strength⁵⁷⁹⁷ unto his king,⁴⁴²⁸ and exalt⁷³¹¹ the horn⁷¹⁶¹ of his anointed.⁴⁸⁹⁹

11  And Elkanah⁵¹¹ went¹⁹⁸⁰ to Ramah⁷⁴¹⁴ to⁵⁹²¹ his house.¹⁰⁰⁴ And the child⁵²⁸⁸ did¹⁹⁶¹ minister⁸³³⁴ unto ⁸⁵³ the LORD^{3068 853} before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Eli⁵⁹⁴¹ the priest.³⁵⁴⁸

12  Now the sons¹¹²¹ of Eli⁵⁹⁴¹ were sons¹¹²¹ of Belial;¹¹⁰⁰ they knew³⁰⁴⁵ not^{3808 853} the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

13  And the priests'³⁵⁴⁸ custom⁴⁹⁴¹ with⁸⁵⁴ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ was, that, when any³⁶⁰⁵ man³⁷⁶ offered²⁰⁷⁶ sacrifice,²⁰⁷⁷ the priest's³⁵⁴⁸ servant⁵²⁸⁸ came,⁹³⁵ while the flesh¹³²⁰ was in seething,¹³¹⁰ with a fleshhook⁴²⁰⁷ of three⁷⁹⁶⁹ teeth⁸¹²⁷ in his hand;³⁰²⁷

14  And he struck⁵²²¹ it into the pan,³⁵⁹⁵ or¹⁷⁶ kettle,¹⁷³¹ or¹⁷⁶ caldron,⁷⁰³⁷ or¹⁷⁶ pot;⁶⁵¹⁷ all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ the fleshhook⁴²⁰⁷ brought up⁵⁹²⁷ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ took³⁹⁴⁷ for himself. So³⁶⁰² they did⁶²¹³ in Shiloh⁷⁸⁸⁷ unto all³⁶⁰⁵ the Israelites³⁴⁷⁸ that came⁹³⁵ thither.⁸⁰³³

15  Also¹⁵⁷¹ before²⁹⁶² they burnt^{6999 853} the fat,²⁴⁵⁹ the priest's³⁵⁴⁸ servant⁵²⁸⁸ came,⁹³⁵ and said⁵⁵⁹ to the man³⁷⁶ that sacrificed,²⁰⁷⁶ Give⁵⁴¹⁴ flesh¹³²⁰ to roast⁶⁷⁴⁰ for the priest;³⁵⁴⁸ for he will not³⁸⁰⁸ have³⁹⁴⁷ sodden flesh^{1320 1310} of⁴⁴⁸⁰ thee, but^{3588 518} raw.²⁴¹⁶

16  And if any man³⁷⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, Let them not fail to burn^{6999 6999} the fat²⁴⁵⁹ presently,³¹¹⁷ and then take³⁹⁴⁷ as much as⁸³⁴ thy soul⁵³¹⁵ desireth;¹⁸³ then he would answer⁵⁵⁹ him, Nay; but³⁵⁸⁸ thou shalt give⁵⁴¹⁴ it me now:⁶²⁵⁸ and if⁵¹⁸ not,³⁸⁰⁸ I will take³⁹⁴⁷ it by force.²³⁹⁴

17  Wherefore the sin²⁴⁰³ of the young men⁵²⁸⁸ was¹⁹⁶¹ very³⁹⁶⁶ great^{1419 853} before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ men³⁷⁶ abhorred^{5006 853} the offering⁴⁵⁰³ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

18  But Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ ministered^{8334 853} before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ being a child,⁵²⁸⁸ girded²²⁹⁶ with a linen⁹⁰⁶ ephod.⁶⁴⁶

19  Moreover his mother⁵¹⁷ made⁶²¹³ him a little⁶⁹⁹⁶ coat,⁴⁵⁹⁸ and brought⁵⁹²⁷ it to him from year to year,^{4480 3117 3117} when she came up⁵⁹²⁷ with⁸⁵⁴ her husband³⁷⁶ to offer^{2076 853} the yearly³¹¹⁷ sacrifice.²⁰⁷⁷

20  And Eli⁵⁹⁴¹ blessed^{1288 853} Elkanah⁵¹¹ and his wife,⁸⁰² and said,⁵⁵⁹ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ give⁷⁷⁶⁰ thee seed²²³³ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ this²⁰⁶³ woman⁸⁰² for⁸⁴⁷⁸ the loan⁷⁵⁹⁶ which⁸³⁴ is lent⁷⁵⁹² to the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸ And they went¹⁹⁸⁰ unto their own home.⁴⁷²⁵

21  And³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ visited^{6485 853} Hannah,²⁵⁸⁴ so that she conceived,²⁰²⁹ and bore³²⁰⁵ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ sons¹¹²¹ and two⁸¹⁴⁷ daughters.¹³²³ And the child⁵²⁸⁸ Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ grew¹⁴³¹ before⁵⁹⁷³ the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

22  Now Eli⁵⁹⁴¹ was very³⁹⁶⁶ old,²²⁰⁴ and heard^{8085 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ his sons¹¹²¹ did⁶²¹³ unto all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ and how⁸³⁴ they lay⁷⁹⁰¹ with⁸⁵⁴ the women⁸⁰² that assembled⁶⁶³³ at the door⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation.⁴¹⁵⁰

23  And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Why⁴¹⁰⁰ do⁶²¹³ ye such⁴²⁸ things?¹⁶⁹⁷ for⁸³⁴ I⁵⁹⁵ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ of ⁸⁵³ your evil⁷⁴⁵¹ dealings¹⁶⁹⁷ by^{4480 854} all³⁶⁰⁵ this⁴²⁸ people.⁵⁹⁷¹

24  Nay,⁴⁰⁸ my sons;¹¹²¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ it is no³⁸⁰⁸ good²⁸⁹⁶ report⁸⁰⁵² that⁸³⁴ I⁵⁹⁵ hear:⁸⁰⁸⁵ ye make the LORD's³⁰⁶⁸ people⁵⁹⁷¹ to transgress.⁵⁶⁷⁴

25  If⁵¹⁸ one man³⁷⁶ sin²³⁹⁸ against another,³⁷⁶ the judge⁴³⁰ shall judge⁶⁴¹⁹ him: but if⁵¹⁸ a man³⁷⁶ sin²³⁹⁸ against the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ who⁴³¹⁰ shall entreat⁶⁴¹⁹ for him? Notwithstanding³⁸⁰⁸ they hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ not unto the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of their father,¹ because³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ would²⁶⁵⁴ slay⁴¹⁹¹ them.

26  And the child⁵²⁸⁸ Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ grew¹⁹⁸⁰ on,¹⁴³² and was in favor²⁸⁹⁶ both¹⁵⁷¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and also¹⁵⁷¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ men.³⁷⁶

27  And there came⁹³⁵ a man³⁷⁶ of God⁴³⁰ unto⁴¹³ Eli,⁵⁹⁴¹ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Did I plainly appear^{1540 1540} unto⁴¹³ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of thy father,¹ when they were¹⁹⁶¹ in Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ in Pharaoh's⁶⁵⁴⁷ house?¹⁰⁰⁴

28  And did I choose⁹⁷⁷ him out of all^{4480 3605} the tribes⁷⁶²⁶ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to be my priest,³⁵⁴⁸ to offer⁵⁹²⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ mine altar,⁴¹⁹⁶ to burn⁶⁹⁹⁹ incense,⁷⁰⁰⁴ to wear⁵³⁷⁵ an ephod⁶⁴⁶ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ me? and did I give⁵⁴¹⁴ unto the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of thy father^{1 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the offerings made by fire⁸⁰¹ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel?³⁴⁷⁸

29  Wherefore⁴¹⁰⁰ kick¹¹⁶³ ye at my sacrifice²⁰⁷⁷ and at mine offering,⁴⁵⁰³ which⁸³⁴ I have commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ in my habitation;⁴⁵⁸³ and honorest^{3513 853} thy sons¹¹²¹ above⁴⁴⁸⁰ me, to make yourselves fat¹²⁵⁴ with the chiefest^{4480 7225} of all³⁶⁰⁵ the offerings⁴⁵⁰³ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ my people?⁵⁹⁷¹

30  Wherefore³⁶⁵¹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ saith,⁵⁰⁰² I said⁵⁵⁹ indeed⁵⁵⁹ that thy house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of thy father,¹ should walk¹⁹⁸⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ me forever:^{5704 5769} but now⁶²⁵⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ saith,⁵⁰⁰² Be it far²⁴⁸⁶ from me; for³⁵⁸⁸ them that honor³⁵¹³ me I will honor,³⁵¹³ and they that despise⁹⁵⁹ me shall be lightly esteemed.⁷⁰⁴³

31  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the days³¹¹⁷ come,⁹³⁵ that I will cut off^{1438 853} thine arm,²²²⁰ and the arm²²²⁰ of thy father's¹ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ that there shall not be^{4480 1961} an old man²²⁰⁵ in thine house.¹⁰⁰⁴

32  And thou shalt see⁵⁰²⁷ an enemy⁶⁸⁶² in my habitation,⁴⁵⁸³ in all³⁶⁰⁵ the wealth which⁸³⁴ God shall give^{3190 853} Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ and there shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be¹⁹⁶¹ an old man²²⁰⁵ in thine house¹⁰⁰⁴ forever.^{3605 3117}

33  And the man³⁷⁶ of thine, whom I shall not³⁸⁰⁸ cut off³⁷⁷² from^{4480 5973} mine altar,⁴¹⁹⁶ shall be to consume^{3615 853} thine eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ and to grieve^{109 853} thine heart:⁵³¹⁵ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the increase⁴⁷⁶⁸ of thine house¹⁰⁰⁴ shall die⁴¹⁹¹ in the flower of their age.³⁷⁶

34  And this²⁰⁸⁸ shall be a sign²²⁶ unto thee, that⁸³⁴ shall come⁹³⁵ upon⁴¹³ thy two⁸¹⁴⁷ sons,¹¹²¹ on⁴¹³ Hophni²⁶⁵² and Phinehas;⁶³⁷² in one²⁵⁹ day³¹¹⁷ they shall die⁴¹⁹¹ both⁸¹⁴⁷ of them.

35  And I will raise me up⁶⁹⁶⁵ a faithful⁵³⁹ priest,³⁵⁴⁸ that shall do⁶²¹³ according to that which⁸³⁴ is in mine heart³⁸²⁴ and in my mind:⁵³¹⁵ and I will build¹¹²⁹ him a sure⁵³⁹ house;¹⁰⁰⁴ and he shall walk¹⁹⁸⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ mine anointed⁴⁸⁹⁹ forever.^{3605 3117}

36  And it shall come to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ that every one³⁶⁰⁵ that is left³⁴⁹⁸ in thine house¹⁰⁰⁴ shall come⁹³⁵ and crouch⁷⁸¹² to him for a piece⁹⁵ of silver³⁷⁰¹ and a morsel³⁶⁰³ of bread,³⁸⁹⁹ and shall say,⁵⁵⁹ Put⁵⁵⁹⁶ me, I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ into⁴¹³ one²⁵⁹ of the priests' offices,³⁵⁵⁰ that I may eat³⁹⁸ a piece⁶⁵⁹⁵ of bread.³⁸⁹⁹

1 καὶ εἶπεν ἐστερεώθη ἡ καρδία μου ἐν κυρίῳ ὑψώθη κέρας μου ἐν θεῷ μου ἐπλατύνθη ἐπὶ ἐχθροὺς τὸ στόμα μου εὐφράνθην ἐν σωτηρίᾳ σου

2 ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἅγιος ὡς κύριος καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν δίκαιος ὡς ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν οὐκ ἔστιν ἅγιος πλὴν σοῦ

3 μὴ καυχᾶσθε καὶ μὴ λαλεῖτε ὑψηλά μὴ ἐξελθάτω μεγαλορρημοσύνη ἐκ τοῦ στόματος ὑμῶν ὅτι θεὸς γνώσεων κύριος καὶ θεὸς ἑτοιμάζων ἐπιτηδεύματα αὐτοῦ

4 τόξον δυνατῶν ἠσθένησεν καὶ ἀσθενοῦντες περιεζώσαντο δύναμιν

5 πλήρεις ἄρτων ἠλαττώθησαν καὶ οἱ πεινῶντες παρῆκαν γῆν ὅτι στεῖρα ἔτεκεν ἑπτά καὶ ἡ πολλὴ ἐν τέκνοις ἠσθένησεν

6 κύριος θανατοῖ καὶ ζωογονεῖ κατάγει εἰς ᾅδου καὶ ἀνάγει

7 κύριος πτωχίζει καὶ πλουτίζει ταπεινοῖ καὶ ἀνυψοῖ

8 ἀνιστᾷ ἀπὸ γῆς πένητα καὶ ἀπὸ κοπρίας ἐγείρει πτωχὸν καθίσαι μετὰ δυναστῶν λαῶν καὶ θρόνον δόξης κατακληρονομῶν αὐτοῖς

9 διδοὺς εὐχὴν τῷ εὐχομένῳ καὶ εὐλόγησεν ἔτη δικαίου ὅτι οὐκ ἐν ἰσχύι δυνατὸς ἀνήρ

10 κύριος ἀσθενῆ ποιήσει ἀντίδικον αὐτοῦ κύριος ἅγιος μὴ καυχάσθω ὁ φρόνιμος ἐν τῇ φρονήσει αὐτοῦ καὶ μὴ καυχάσθω ὁ δυνατὸς ἐν τῇ δυνάμει αὐτοῦ καὶ μὴ καυχάσθω ὁ πλούσιος ἐν τῷ πλούτῳ αὐτοῦ ἀλλ᾽ ἢ ἐν τούτῳ καυχάσθω ὁ καυχώμενος συνίειν καὶ γινώσκειν τὸν κύριον καὶ ποιεῖν κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην ἐν μέσῳ τῆς γῆς κύριος ἀνέβη εἰς οὐρανοὺς καὶ ἐβρόντησεν αὐτὸς κρινεῖ ἄκρα γῆς καὶ δίδωσιν ἰσχὺν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν ἡμῶν καὶ ὑψώσει κέρας χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ

11 καὶ κατέλιπον αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ ἀπῆλθον εἰς Αρμαθαιμ καὶ τὸ παιδάριον ἦν λειτουργῶν τῷ προσώπῳ κυρίου ἐνώπιον Ηλι τοῦ ἱερέως

12 καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ηλι τοῦ ἱερέως υἱοὶ λοιμοὶ οὐκ εἰδότες τὸν κύριον

13 καὶ τὸ δικαίωμα τοῦ ἱερέως παρὰ τοῦ λαοῦ παντὸς τοῦ θύοντος καὶ ἤρχετο τὸ παιδάριον τοῦ ἱερέως ὡς ἂν ἡψήθη τὸ κρέας καὶ κρεάγρα τριόδους ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ

14 καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὴν εἰς τὸν λέβητα τὸν μέγαν ἢ εἰς τὸ χαλκίον ἢ εἰς τὴν κύθραν πᾶν ὃ ἐὰν ἀνέβη ἐν τῇ κρεάγρᾳ ἐλάμβανεν ἑαυτῷ ὁ ἱερεύς κατὰ τάδε ἐποίουν παντὶ Ισραηλ τοῖς ἐρχομένοις θῦσαι κυρίῳ ἐν Σηλωμ

15 καὶ πρὶν θυμιαθῆναι τὸ στέαρ ἤρχετο τὸ παιδάριον τοῦ ἱερέως καὶ ἔλεγεν τῷ ἀνδρὶ τῷ θύοντι δὸς κρέας ὀπτῆσαι τῷ ἱερεῖ καὶ οὐ μὴ λάβω παρὰ σοῦ ἑφθὸν ἐκ τοῦ λέβητος

16 καὶ ἔλεγεν ὁ ἀνὴρ ὁ θύων θυμιαθήτω πρῶτον ὡς καθήκει τὸ στέαρ καὶ λαβὲ σεαυτῷ ἐκ πάντων ὧν ἐπιθυμεῖ ἡ ψυχή σου καὶ εἶπεν οὐχί ὅτι νῦν δώσεις καὶ ἐὰν μή λήμψομαι κραταιῶς

17 καὶ ἦν ἡ ἁμαρτία τῶν παιδαρίων ἐνώπιον κυρίου μεγάλη σφόδρα ὅτι ἠθέτουν τὴν θυσίαν κυρίου

18 καὶ Σαμουηλ ἦν λειτουργῶν ἐνώπιον κυρίου παιδάριον περιεζωσμένον εφουδ βαρ

19 καὶ διπλοΐδα μικρὰν ἐποίησεν αὐτῷ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνέφερεν αὐτῷ ἐξ ἡμερῶν εἰς ἡμέρας ἐν τῷ ἀναβαίνειν αὐτὴν μετὰ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς θῦσαι τὴν θυσίαν τῶν ἡμερῶν

20 καὶ εὐλόγησεν Ηλι τὸν Ελκανα καὶ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ λέγων ἀποτείσαι σοι κύριος σπέρμα ἐκ τῆς γυναικὸς ταύτης ἀντὶ τοῦ χρέους οὗ ἔχρησας τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ

21 καὶ ἐπεσκέψατο κύριος τὴν Ανναν καὶ ἔτεκεν ἔτι τρεῖς υἱοὺς καὶ δύο θυγατέρας καὶ ἐμεγαλύνθη τὸ παιδάριον Σαμουηλ ἐνώπιον κυρίου

22 καὶ Ηλι πρεσβύτης σφόδρα καὶ ἤκουσεν ἃ ἐποίουν οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ τοῖς υἱοῖς Ισραηλ

23 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ἵνα τί ποιεῖτε κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο ὃ ἐγὼ ἀκούω ἐκ στόματος παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ κυρίου

24 μή τέκνα ὅτι οὐκ ἀγαθὴ ἡ ἀκοή ἣν ἐγὼ ἀκούω μὴ ποιεῖτε οὕτως ὅτι οὐκ ἀγαθαὶ αἱ ἀκοαί ἃς ἐγὼ ἀκούω τοῦ μὴ δουλεύειν λαὸν θεῷ

25 ἐὰν ἁμαρτάνων ἁμάρτῃ ἀνὴρ εἰς ἄνδρα καὶ προσεύξονται ὑπὲρ αὐτοῦ πρὸς κύριον καὶ ἐὰν τῷ κυρίῳ ἁμάρτῃ τίς προσεύξεται ὑπὲρ αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἤκουον τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν ὅτι βουλόμενος ἐβούλετο κύριος διαφθεῖραι αὐτούς

26 καὶ τὸ παιδάριον Σαμουηλ ἐπορεύετο καὶ ἐμεγαλύνετο καὶ ἀγαθὸν καὶ μετὰ κυρίου καὶ μετὰ ἀνθρώπων

27 καὶ ἦλθεν ἄνθρωπος θεοῦ πρὸς Ηλι καὶ εἶπεν τάδε λέγει κύριος ἀποκαλυφθεὶς ἀπεκαλύφθην πρὸς οἶκον πατρός σου ὄντων αὐτῶν ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ δούλων τῷ οἴκῳ Φαραω

28 καὶ ἐξελεξάμην τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός σου ἐκ πάντων τῶν σκήπτρων Ισραηλ ἐμοὶ ἱερατεύειν καὶ ἀναβαίνειν ἐπὶ θυσιαστήριόν μου καὶ θυμιᾶν θυμίαμα καὶ αἴρειν εφουδ καὶ ἔδωκα τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρός σου τὰ πάντα τοῦ πυρὸς υἱῶν Ισραηλ εἰς βρῶσιν

29 καὶ ἵνα τί ἐπέβλεψας ἐπὶ τὸ θυμίαμά μου καὶ εἰς τὴν θυσίαν μου ἀναιδεῖ ὀφθαλμῷ καὶ ἐδόξασας τοὺς υἱούς σου ὑπὲρ ἐμὲ ἐνευλογεῖσθαι ἀπαρχῆς πάσης θυσίας Ισραηλ ἔμπροσθέν μου

30 διὰ τοῦτο τάδε εἶπεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ εἶπα ὁ οἶκός σου καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ πατρός σου διελεύσεται ἐνώπιόν μου ἕως αἰῶνος καὶ νῦν φησιν κύριος μηδαμῶς ἐμοί ὅτι ἀλλ᾽ ἢ τοὺς δοξάζοντάς με δοξάσω καὶ ὁ ἐξουθενῶν με ἀτιμωθήσεται

31 ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται καὶ ἐξολεθρεύσω τὸ σπέρμα σου καὶ τὸ σπέρμα οἴκου πατρός σου

32 καὶ οὐκ ἔσται σου πρεσβύτης ἐν οἴκῳ μου πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας

33 καὶ ἄνδρα οὐκ ἐξολεθρεύσω σοι ἀπὸ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου μου ἐκλιπεῖν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ καταρρεῖν τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶς περισσεύων οἴκου σου πεσοῦνται ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ ἀνδρῶν

34 καὶ τοῦτό σοι τὸ σημεῖον ὃ ἥξει ἐπὶ τοὺς δύο υἱούς σου τούτους Οφνι καὶ Φινεες ἐν ἡμέρᾳ μιᾷ ἀποθανοῦνται ἀμφότεροι

35 καὶ ἀναστήσω ἐμαυτῷ ἱερέα πιστόν ὃς πάντα τὰ ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ μου καὶ τὰ ἐν τῇ ψυχῇ μου ποιήσει καὶ οἰκοδομήσω αὐτῷ οἶκον πιστόν καὶ διελεύσεται ἐνώπιον χριστοῦ μου πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας

36 καὶ ἔσται ὁ περισσεύων ἐν οἴκῳ σου ἥξει προσκυνεῖν αὐτῷ ὀβολοῦ ἀργυρίου λέγων παράρριψόν με ἐπὶ μίαν τῶν ἱερατειῶν σου φαγεῖν ἄρτον

Vul

1 [Exultavit cor meum in Domino,
et exaltatum est cornu meum in Deo meo;
dilatatum est os meum super inimicos meos:
quia lætata sum in salutari tuo.

2 Non est sanctus, ut est Dominus,
neque enim est alius extra te,
et non est fortis sicut Deus noster.

3 Nolite multiplicare loqui sublimia gloriantes;
recedant vetera de ore vestro:
quia Deus scientiarum Dominus est,
et ipsi præparantur cogitationes.

4 Arcus fortium superatus est,
et infirmi accincti sunt robore.

5 Repleti prius, pro panibus se locaverunt:
et famelici saturati sunt,
donec sterilis peperit plurimos:
et quæ multos habebat filios, infirmata est.

6 Dominus mortificat et vivificat;
deducit ad inferos et reducit.

7 Dominus pauperem facit et ditat,
humiliat et sublevat.

8 Suscitat de pulvere egenum,
et de stercore elevat pauperem:
ut sedeat cum principibus,
et solium gloriæ teneat.
Domini enim sunt cardines terræ,
et posuit super eos orbem.

9 Pedes sanctorum suorum servabit,
et impii in tenebris conticescent:
quia non in fortitudine sua roborabitur vir.

10 Dominum formidabunt adversarii ejus:
et super ipsos in cælis tonabit.
Dominus judicabit fines terræ,
et dabit imperium regi suo,
et sublimabit cornu christi sui.]

11 Et abiit Elcana Ramatha, in domum suam: puer autem erat minister in conspectu Domini ante faciem Heli sacerdotis.

12 Porro filii Heli, filii Belial, nescientes Dominum,

13 neque officium sacerdotum ad populum: sed quicumque immolasset victimam, veniebat puer sacerdotis, dum coquerentur carnes, et habebat fuscinulam tridentem in manu sua,

14 et mittebat eam in lebetem, vel in caldariam, aut in ollam, sive in cacabum: et omne quod levabat fuscinula, tollebat sacerdos sibi: sic faciebant universo Israëli venientium in Silo.

15 Etiam antequam adolerent adipem, veniebat puer sacerdotis, et dicebat immolanti: Da mihi carnem, ut coquam sacerdoti: non enim accipiam a te carnem coctam, sed crudam.

16 Dicebatque illi immolans: Incendatur primum juxta morem hodie adeps, et tolle tibi quantumcumque desiderat anima tua. Qui respondens aiebat ei: Nequaquam: nunc enim dabis, alioquin tollam vi.

17 Erat ergo peccatum puerorum grande nimis coram Domino: quia retrahebant homines a sacrificio Domini.

18 Samuel autem ministrabat ante faciem Domini, puer accinctus ephod lineo.

19 Et tunicam parvam faciebat ei mater sua, quam afferebat statutis diebus, ascendens cum viro suo, ut immolaret hostiam solemnem.

20 Et benedixit Heli Elcanæ et uxori ejus: dixitque ei: Reddat tibi Dominus semen de muliere hac, pro fœnore quod commodasti Domino. Et abierunt in locum suum.

21 Visitavit ergo Dominus Annam, et concepit, et peperit tres filios, et duas filias: et magnificatus est puer Samuel apud Dominum.

22 Heli autem erat senex valde, et audivit omnia quæ faciebant filii sui universo Israëli, et quomodo dormiebant cum mulieribus quæ observabant ad ostium tabernaculi:

23 et dixit eis: Quare facitis res hujuscemodi quas ego audio, res pessimas, ab omni populo?

24 Nolite, filii mei: non enim est bona fama quam ego audio, ut transgredi faciatis populum Domini.

25 Si peccaverit vir in virum, placari ei potest Deus: si autem in Dominum peccaverit vir, quis orabit pro eo? Et non audierunt vocem patris sui: quia voluit Dominus occidere eos.

26 Puer autem Samuel proficiebat atque crescebat, et placebat tam Domino quam hominibus.

27 Venit autem vir Dei ad Heli, et ait ad eum: Hæc dicit Dominus: Numquid non aperte revelatus sum domui patris tui, cum essent in Ægypto in domo Pharaonis?

28 Et elegi eum ex omnibus tribubus Israël mihi in sacerdotem, ut ascenderet ad altare meum, et adoleret mihi incensum, et portaret ephod coram me: et dedi domui patris tui omnia de sacrificiis filiorum Israël.

29 Quare calce abjecistis victimam meam, et munera mea quæ præcepi ut offerrentur in templo: et magis honorasti filios tuos quam me, ut comederetis primitias omnis sacrificii Israël populi mei?

30 Propterea ait Dominus Deus Israël: Loquens locutus sum, ut domus tua, et domus patris tui, ministraret in conspectu meo usque in sempiternum. Nunc autem dicit Dominus: Absit hoc a me: sed quicumque glorificaverit me, glorificabo eum: qui autem contemnunt me, erunt ignobiles.

31 Ecce dies veniunt, et præcidam brachium tuum, et brachium domus patris tui, ut non sit senex in domo tua.

32 Et videbis æmulum tuum in templo, in universis prosperis Israël: et non erit senex in domo tua omnibus diebus.

33 Verumtamen non auferam penitus virum ex te ab altari meo: sed ut deficiant oculi tui, et tabescat anima tua: et pars magna domus tuæ morietur cum ad virilem ætatem venerit.

34 Hoc autem erit tibi signum, quod venturum est duobus filiis tuis, Ophni et Phinees: in die uno morientur ambo.

35 Et suscitabo mihi sacerdotem fidelem, qui juxta cor meum et animam meam faciet: et ædificabo ei domum fidelem, et ambulabit coram christo meo cunctis diebus.

36 Futurum est autem, ut quicumque remanserit in domo tua, veniat ut oretur pro eo, et offerat nummum argenteum, et tortam panis, dicatque: Dimitte me, obsecro, ad unam partem sacerdotalem, ut comedam buccellam panis.
