여호와께서 세 번째 사무엘을 부르시는지라 그가 일어나 엘리에게로 가서 이르되 당신이 나를 부르셨기로 내가 여기 있나이다 하니 엘리가여호와께서 이 아이를 부르신 줄을 깨닫고
9.
엘리가 사무엘에게 이르되 가서 누웠다가 그가 너를 부르시거든 네가 말하기를 여호와여 말씀하옵소서 주의 종이 듣겠나이다 하라 하니 이에 사무엘이 가서 자기 처소에 누우니라
1Samuel 3:1-9
1.
The boy Samuel ministered before the LORD under Eli. In those days the word of the LORD was rare; there were not many visions.
2.
One night Eli, whose eyes were becoming so weak that he could barely see, was lying down in his usual place.
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.
4.
Then the LORD called Samuel. Samuel answered, "Here I am."
5.
And he ran to Eli and said, "Here I am; you called me." But Eli said, "I did not call; go back and lie down." So he went and lay down.
6.
Again the LORD called, "Samuel!" And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, "Here I am; you called me." "My son," Eli said, "I did not call; go back and lie down."
7.
Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD: The word of the LORD had not yet been revealed to him.
8.
The LORD called Samuel a third time, and Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, "Here I am; you called me." Then Eli realized that the LORD was calling the boy.
9.
So Eli told Samuel, "Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, `Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening.'" So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
