Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD's people to transgress.

Verse 24 is found in chapter 2 of 1 Samuel. Samuel appears serving before the Lord while Hannah continues visiting him and bringing him a small priestly robe. The child’s growth is progressively contrasted with the corruption of Eli’s sons. This literary structure presents Samuel as a figure of faithfulness within a deteriorating priestly household. Eli’s rebuke of his sons also shows that the problem is known, but his authority is insufficient to stop it. The chapter ends by emphasizing that Samuel grew favorably before God and people.

Nicht, meine Kinder, das ist nicht ein gutes Gerücht, das ich höre. Ihr macht des HERRN Volk übertreten.
No, hijos míos; porque no es buena fama la que yo oigo: que hacéis pecar al pueblo de Jehová.
Non, mes enfants, ce que j'entends dire n'est pas bon; vous faites pécher le peuple de l'Eternel.
Non fate così, figliuoli miei; perciocchè la fama, che mi perviene agli orecchi di voi, non è buona; voi inducete a trasgressione il popolo del Signore.
Não, filhos meus, porque não é boa esta fama que ouço; fazeis transgredir o povo do SENHOR.
我兒啊,不可這樣!我聽到耶和華的百姓傳出你們不好的名聲 。
