THE CALLING OF SHEMU EL
And the lad Shemu El ministers to Yah Veh at the face of Eli: and in those days the word of Yah Veh is esteemed - no vision breaks forth. 2 And so be it, at that day, Eli lies down in his place and his eyes begin to fade so he cannot see; 3 and in the manse of Yah Veh where the ark of Elohim is they had not yet quenched the lamp of Elohim; and Shemu El lies down. 4 Yah Veh calls Shemu El: and he says, Behold, I! 5 - and he runs to Eli and says, Behold, I; for you call me. And he says, I called not; turn back; lie down. And he goes and lies down. 6 And Yah Veh adds to call, Shemu El! And Shemu El rises and goes to Eli and says, Behold, I; for you call me. And he says, I called not, my son; turn back; lie down. 7 Now Shemu El neither knows Yah Veh yet nor is the word of Yah Veh exposed to him yet. 8 And Yah Veh adds to call Shemu El the third time; and he rises and goes to Eli and says, Behold, I; for you call me. And Eli discerns that Yah Veh calls the lad; 9 and Eli says to Shemu El, Go, lie down: and so be it, if he calls you, that you say, Word, O Yah Veh; for your servant hears. So Shemu El goes and lies down in his place; 10 and Yah Veh comes and stands and as time by time, calls, Shemu El! Shemu El! Then Shemu El says, Word; for your servant hears. 11 And Yah Veh says to Shemu El, Behold, I work a word in Yisra El, at which both ears of every one who hears, tingles. 12 In that day I raise against Eli all whom I worded concerning his house - begin, and finish: 13 and I tell him that I judge his house eternally for the perversity of which he knows; because his sons abase themselves and he dims them not: 14 and so I oath to the house of Eli, that the perversity of the house of Eli kapars/atones with neither sacrifice nor offering eternally. 15 And Shemu El lies down until the morning and opens the doors of the house of Yah Veh: and Shemu El awes to tell Eli the vision. 16 And Eli calls Shemu El and says, Shemu El, my son. And he says, Behold, I. 17 And he says, What is the word he words to you? I beseech you, conceal not from me: may Elohim work thus to you and thus also add, if you conceal from me one word of all the words he worded to you. 18 And Shemu El tells him every word and conceals naught from him. And he says, It is Yah Veh: may he work what seems good in his eyes. 19 And Shemu El grows and Yah Veh is with him; and none of his words fall to the earth. 20 And all Yisra El from Dan even to Beer Sheba knows Shemu El as a trustworthy prophet of Yah Veh: 21 and Yah Veh adds to appear in Shiloh: for Yah Veh exposes to Shemu El in Shiloh by the word of Yah Veh:
