神人責備以利家

²⁷有神人來見以利，對他說：「耶和華如此說：『你祖父在埃及法老家作奴僕的時候，我不是向他們顯現嗎？Then a man of God came to Eli and told him, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Did I not clearly reveal Myself to your father’s house when they were in Egypt under Pharaoh’s house?

²⁸在以色列眾支派中，我不是揀選人作我的祭司，使他燒香，在我壇上獻祭，在我面前穿以弗得，又將以色列人所獻的火祭都賜給你父家嗎？And out of all the tribes of Israel I selected your father to be My priest, to offer sacrifices on My altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod in My presence. I also gave to the house of your father all the food offerings of the Israelites.

²⁹我所吩咐獻在我居所的祭物，你們為何踐踏？尊重你的兒子過於尊重我，將我民以色列所獻美好的祭物肥己呢？』Why then do you kick at My sacrifice and offering that I have prescribed for My dwelling place? You have honored your sons more than Me by fattening yourselves with the best of all the offerings of My people Israel.’

尊重我的，我必重看他

³⁰因此，耶和華─以色列的　神說：『我曾說，你和你父家必永遠行在我面前；現在我卻說，決不容你們這樣行。因為尊重我的，我必重看他；藐視我的，他必被輕視。Therefore, the LORD, the God of Israel, declares: ‘I did indeed say that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever. But now the LORD declares: Far be it from Me! For I will honor those who honor Me, but those who despise Me will be disdained.

³¹日子必到，我要折斷你的膀臂和你父家的膀臂，使你家中沒有一個老年人。Behold, the days are coming when I will cut off your strength and the strength of your father’s house, so that no one in it will reach old age.

³²在　神使以色列人享福的時候，你必看見我居所的敗落。在你家中必永遠沒有一個老年人。You will see distress in My dwelling place. Despite all that is good in Israel, no one in your house will ever again reach old age.

³³我必不從我壇前滅盡你家中的人；那未滅的必使你眼目乾癟、心中憂傷。你家中所生的人都必死在中年。And every one of you that I do not cut off from My altar, I will cause your eyes to fail and your heart to grieve. All your descendants will die by the sword of men.

³⁴你的兩個兒子何弗尼、非尼哈所遭遇的事可作你的證據：他們二人必一日同死。And this sign shall come to you concerning your two sons Hophni and Phinehas: They will both die on the same day.

神要立忠心的祭司

³⁵我要為自己立一個忠心的祭司；他必照我的心意而行。我要為他建立堅固的家；他必永遠行在我的受膏者面前。Then I will raise up for Myself a faithful priest. He will do whatever is in My heart and mind. And I will build for him an enduring house, and he will walk before My anointed one for all time.

³⁶你家所剩下的人都必來叩拜他，求塊銀子，求個餅，說：求你賜我祭司的職分，好叫我得點餅吃。』」And everyone left in your house will come and bow down to him for a piece of silver or a morsel of bread, pleading, “Please appoint me to some priestly office so that I can eat a piece of bread.”’”

耶和華的言語稀少

¹童子撒母耳在以利面前事奉耶和華。當那些日子，耶和華的言語稀少，不常有默示。And the boy Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli. Now in those days the word of the LORD was rare, and visions were scarce.

²一日，以利睡臥在自己的地方；他眼目昏花，看不分明。And at that time Eli, whose eyesight had grown so dim that he could not see, was lying in his room.

³神的燈在　神耶和華殿內約櫃那裡，還沒有熄滅，撒母耳已經睡了。Before the lamp of God had gone out, Samuel was lying down in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was located.

神三次呼喚撒母耳

⁴耶和華呼喚撒母耳。撒母耳說：「我在這裡！」Then the LORD called to Samuel, and he answered, “Here I am.”

⁵就跑到以利那裡，說：「你呼喚我？我在這裡。」以利回答說：「我沒有呼喚你，你去睡吧。」他就去睡了。He ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you have called me.” “I did not call,” Eli replied. “Go back and lie down.” So he went and lay down.

⁶耶和華又呼喚撒母耳。撒母耳起來，到以利那裡，說：「你呼喚我？我在這裡。」以利回答說：「我的兒，我沒有呼喚你，你去睡吧。」Once again the LORD called, “Samuel!” So Samuel got up, went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you have called me.” “My son, I did not call,” Eli replied. “Go back and lie down.”

⁷那時撒母耳還未認識耶和華，也未得耶和華的默示。Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, because the word of the LORD had not yet been revealed to him.

⁸耶和華第三次呼喚撒母耳。撒母耳起來，到以利那裡，說：「你又呼喚我？我在這裡。」以利才明白是耶和華呼喚童子。Once again, for the third time, the LORD called to Samuel. He got up, went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you have called me.” Then Eli realized that it was the LORD who was calling the boy.

⁹因此以利對撒母耳說：「你仍去睡吧；若再呼喚你，你就說：『耶和華啊，請說，僕人敬聽！』」撒母耳就去，仍睡在原處。“Go and lie down,” he said to Samuel, “and if He calls you, say, ‘Speak, LORD, for Your servant is listening.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

請說，僕人敬聽

¹⁰耶和華又來站著，像前三次呼喚說：「撒母耳啊！撒母耳啊！」撒母耳回答說：「請說，僕人敬聽！」Then the LORD came and stood there, calling as before, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel answered, “Speak, for Your servant is listening.”

¹¹耶和華對撒母耳說：「我在以色列中必行一件事，叫聽見的人都必耳鳴。Then the LORD said to Samuel, “I am about to do something in Israel at which the ears of all who hear it will tingle.

¹²我指著以利家所說的話，到了時候，我必始終應驗在以利身上。On that day I will carry out against Eli everything I have spoken about his house, from beginning to end.

¹³我曾告訴他必永遠降罰與他的家，因他知道兒子作孽，自招咒詛，卻不禁止他們。I told him that I would judge his house forever for the iniquity of which he knows, because his sons blasphemed God and he did not restrain them.

¹⁴所以我向以利家起誓說：『以利家的罪孽，雖獻祭奉禮物，永不能得贖去。』」Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli, ‘The iniquity of Eli’s house shall never be atoned for by sacrifice or offering.’”

撒母耳把默示告訴以利

¹⁵撒母耳睡到天亮，就開了耶和華的殿門，不敢將默示告訴以利。Samuel lay down until the morning; then he opened the doors of the house of the LORD. He was afraid to tell Eli the vision,

¹⁶以利呼喚撒母耳說：「我兒撒母耳啊！」撒母耳回答說：「我在這裡！」but Eli called to him and said, “Samuel, my son.” “Here I am,” answered Samuel.

¹⁷以利說：「耶和華對你說甚麼，你不要向我隱瞞；你若將　神對你所說的隱瞞一句，願他重重地降罰與你。」“What was the message He gave you?” Eli asked. “Do not hide it from me. May God punish you, and ever so severely, if you hide from me anything He said to you.”

¹⁸撒母耳就把一切話都告訴了以利，並沒有隱瞞。以利說：「這是出於耶和華，願他憑自己的意旨而行。」So Samuel told him everything and did not hide a thing from him. “He is the LORD,” replied Eli. “Let Him do what is good in His eyes.”

撒母耳被立為先知

¹⁹撒母耳長大了，耶和華與他同在，使他所說的話一句都不落空。And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and He let none of Samuel’s words fall to the ground.

²⁰從但到別是巴所有的以色列人都知道耶和華立撒母耳為先知。So all Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel was confirmed as a prophet of the LORD.

²¹耶和華又在示羅顯現；因為耶和華將自己的話默示撒母耳，撒母耳就把這話傳遍以色列地。And the LORD continued to appear at Shiloh, because there He revealed Himself to Samuel by His word.

十個長大痲瘋的

¹¹耶穌往耶路撒冷去，經過撒馬利亞和加利利。While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.

¹²進入一個村子，有十個長大痲瘋的，迎面而來，遠遠地站著，As He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance

¹³高聲說：「耶穌，夫子，可憐我們吧！」and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

¹⁴耶穌看見，就對他們說：「你們去把身體給祭司察看。」他們去的時候就潔淨了。When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.

回來感謝的撒馬利亞人

¹⁵內中有一個見自己已經好了，就回來大聲歸榮耀與　神，When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.

¹⁶又俯伏在耶穌腳前感謝他；這人是撒馬利亞人。He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.

¹⁷耶穌說：「潔淨了的不是十個人嗎？那九個在哪裡呢？“Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?

¹⁸除了這外族人，再沒有別人回來歸榮耀與　神嗎？」Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”

¹⁹就對那人說：「起來，走吧！你的信救了你了。」Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”

神的國幾時來到

²⁰法利賽人問：「　神的國幾時來到？」耶穌回答說：「　神的國來到不是眼所能見的。When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.

²¹人也不得說：『看哪，在這裡！看哪，在那裡！』因為　神的國就在你們心裡（心裡：或譯中間）。」Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

人子的日子

²²他又對門徒說：「日子將到，你們巴不得看見人子的一個日子，卻不得看見。Then He said to the disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.

²³人將要對你們說：『看哪，在那裡！看哪，在這裡！』你們不要出去，也不要跟隨他們！People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.

²⁴因為人子在他降臨的日子，好像閃電從天這邊一閃直照到天那邊。For just as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will be the Son of Man in His day.

²⁵只是他必須先受許多苦，又被這世代棄絕。But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

像挪亞和羅得的日子

²⁶挪亞的日子怎樣，人子的日子也要怎樣。Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:

²⁷那時候的人又吃又喝，又娶又嫁，到挪亞進方舟的那日，洪水就來，把他們全都滅了。People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

²⁹到羅得出所多瑪的那日，就有火與硫磺從天上降下來，把他們全都滅了。But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

³⁰人子顯現的日子也要這樣。It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

當那日不要回頭

³¹當那日，人在房上，器具在屋裡，不要下來拿；人在田裡，也不要回家。On that day, let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve his possessions. Likewise, let no one in the field return for anything he has left behind.

³²你們要回想羅得的妻子。Remember Lot’s wife!

³³凡想要保全生命的，必喪掉生命；凡喪掉生命的，必救活生命。Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

取去一個，撇下一個

³⁴我對你們說，當那一夜，兩個人在一個床上，要取去一個，撇下一個。I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: one will be taken and the other left.

³⁵兩個女人一同推磨，要取去一個，撇下一個。（有古卷加：Two women will be grinding grain together: one will be taken and the other left.”
