¹⁴ 然而从亚当到摩西，死就作了王，连那些不与亚当犯一样罪过的，也在他的权下。亚当乃是那以後要来之人的豫像。

¹ The child Samuel ministered to Yahweh before Eli. The word of Yahweh was precious in those days; there was no frequent vision.

² It happened at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place (now his eyes had begun to grow dim, so that he could not see),

³ and the lamp of God hadn't yet gone out, and Samuel had laid down [to sleep], in the temple of Yahweh, where the ark of God was;

⁴ that Yahweh called Samuel; and he said, "Here I am."

⁵ He ran to Eli, and said, "Here I am; for you called me." He said, "I didn't call; lie down again." He went and lay down.

⁶ Yahweh called yet again, "Samuel!" Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am; for you called me." He answered, "I didn't call, my son; lie down again."

⁷ Now Samuel didn't yet know Yahweh, neither was the word of Yahweh yet revealed to him.

⁸ Yahweh called Samuel again the third time. He arose and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am; for you called me." Eli perceived that Yahweh had called the child.
