G2532 And G2036 said, G2400 Behold, G1473 it is I, G3754 for G2564 you have called G1473 me. G2532 And G4679 Eli discerned G* G3754 that G2962 the lord G2564 has called G3588 the G3808 boy.

9 G2532 And G2036 Eli said G* G3588 to G* Samuel, G390 Return G2532 and G2518 sleep G5043 child! G2532 And G1510.8.3 it will be G1437 if G2564 he should call G1473 you, G2532 that G2046 you shall say, G2980 Speak, G2962 O lord, G3754 for G191 [²hears G3588 G1401 ¹your servant]! G1473 G2532 And G4198 Samuel went, G* G2532 and G2837 went to bed G1722 in G3588 G5117 his place. G1473

10 G2532 And G2064 the lord came, G2962 G2532 and G2525 stood, G2532 and G2564 called G1473 him G5613 as G530 once before, G2532 and G530 once before that, G* Samuel, G* Samuel. G2532 And G2036 Samuel said, G* G2980 Speak, G2962 O lord, G3754 for G191 [²hears G3588 G1401 ¹your servant]! G1473

11 G2532 And G2036 the lord said G2962 G4314 to G* Samuel, G2400 Behold, G1473 I G4160 perform G3588 G4487 my words G1473 G1722 in G* Israel, G5620 so that G3956 every one G191 hearing G1473 them, G2278 it shall sound G297 in both G3588 G3775 of his ears. G1473

12 G1722 In G3588 G2250 that day G1565 G1892 I rouse up G1909 against G* Eli. G3956 All G3745 as many things as G2980 I spoke G1519 against G3588 G3624 his house G1473 G756 I will begin G2532 and G2005 I will complete.

13 G2532 And G312 I have announced G1473 to him G3754 that G1556 I punish, G1473 I, G3588 G3624 his house, G1473 G2193 unto G165 the eon G1722 for G93 the iniquities G5207 of his sons, G1473 G3739 in which G1097 he knew G3754 that G2551 [²were speaking evil of G2316 ³God G3588 G5207 ¹his sons], G1473 G2532 and G3756 he did not G3560 admonish G1473 them.

14 G2532 And G3756 [²not G3779 ³thus G3660 ¹have I] sworn by an oath G3588 to the G3624 house G* of Eli, G1487 Shall G1837.2 [⁵be atoned G3588 ¹the G93 ²iniquity G3624 ³of the house G* ⁴of Eli] G1722 by G2368 incense G2228 or G1722 by G2378 sacrifices G2193 into G165 the eon, no .

15 G2532 And G2837 Samuel went to bed G* G2193 until G4404 morning. G2532 And G3719 he rose up early G4404 in the morning, G2532 and G455 he opened G3588 the G2374 doors G3624 of the house G2962 of the lord . G2532 And G* Samuel G5399 feared G518 to report G3588 the G3706 vision G3588 G* to Eli.

17 G2532 And G2036 he said, G5100 What G3588 was the G4487 word G3588 G2980 being spoken G4314 to G1473 you? G3361 Do not G1211 indeed G2928 hide them G575 from G1473 me! G3592 Thus G4160 [²do G1473 ³to you G3588 G2316 ¹God], G2532 and G3592 thus G4369 add to it G1437 if G2928 you should hide G575 from G1473 me G4487 the word.

19 G2532 And G3170 Samuel was magnified, G* G2532 and G1510.7.3 the lord was G2962 G3326 with G1473 him. G2532 And G3756 there did not fall G4098 G575 from G3956 all G3588 G3056 his words G1473 G1909 one upon G3588 the G1093 ground.

20 G2532 And G1097 [³knew G3956 ¹all G* ²Israel] G575 from G* Dan G2532 and G2193 unto G* Beer-sheba G3754 that G4103 Samuel was trustworthy G* G1519 for G4396 prophet G3588 to the G2962 lord .
