1 Samuel 15
1 And Samuel said to Saul, The Lord sent me to put the holy oil on you and to make you king over his people, over Israel: so give ear now to the words of the Lord.
Então disse Samuel a Saul: Enviou-me o Senhor a ungir-te rei sobre o seu povo, sobre Israel: ouve pois agora a voz das palavras do Senhor.
2 The Lord of armies says, I will give punishment to Amalek for what he did to Israel, fighting against him on the way when Israel came out of Egypt.
Assim diz o Senhor dos exercitos: Eu me recordei do que fez Amalek a Israel; como se lhe oppoz no caminho, quando subia do Egypto.
3 Go now and put Amalek to the sword, putting to the curse all they have, without mercy: put to death every man and woman, every child and baby at the breast, every ox and sheep, camel and ass.
Vae pois agora e fere a Amalek; e destroe totalmente a tudo o que tiver, e não lhe perdoes; porém matarás desde o homem até á mulher, desde os meninos até aos de mama, desde os bois até ás ovelhas, e desde os camelos até aos jumentos
4 And Saul sent for the people and had them numbered in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen and ten thousand men of Judah.
O que Saul annunciou ao povo, e os contou em Teilaim, duzentos mil homens de pé, e dez mil homens de Judah.
5 And Saul came to the town of Amalek, and took up his position in the valley secretly.
Chegando pois Saul á cidade d'Amalek, poz emboscada no valle.
6 And Saul said to the Kenites, Go away, take yourselves out from among the Amalekites, or destruction will overtake you with them: for you were kind to the children of Israel when they came out of Egypt. So the Kenites went away from among the Amalekites.
E disse Saul aos keneos: Ide-vos, retirae-vos e sahi do meio dos amalekitas, para que vos não destrua juntamente com elles, porque vós usastes de misericordia com todos os filhos de Israel, quando subiram do Egypto. Assim os keneos se retiraram do meio dos amalekitas.
7 And Saul made an attack on the Amalekites from Havilah on the road to Shur, which is before Egypt.
Então feriu Saul aos amalekitas desde Havia até chegar a Sur, que está defronte do Egypto.
8 He took Agag, king of the Amalekites, prisoner, and put all the people to the sword without mercy.
E tomou vivo a Agag, rei dos amalekitas; porém a todo o povo destruiu ao fio da espada.
9 But Saul and the people did not put Agag to death, and they kept the best of the sheep and the oxen and the fat beasts and the lambs, and whatever was good, not desiring to put them to the curse: but everything which was bad and of no use they put to the curse.
E Saul e o povo perdoaram a Agag, e ao melhor das ovelhas e das vaccas, e ás da segunda sorte, e aos cordeiros e ao melhor que havia, e não os quizeram destruir totalmente: porém a toda a coisa vil e desprezivel detruiram totalmente.
10 Then the Lord said to Samuel,
Então veiu a palavra do Senhor a Samuel, dizendo:
11 It is no longer my pleasure for Saul to be king; for he is turned back from going in my ways, and has not done my orders. And Samuel was very sad, crying to the Lord in prayer all night.
Arrependo-me de haver posto a Saul como rei; porquanto se tornou de detraz de mim, e não executou as minhas palavras. Então Samuel se contristou, e toda a noite clamou ao Senhor.
12 And early in the morning he got up and went to Saul; and word was given to Samuel that Saul had come to Carmel and put up a pillar, and had gone from there down to Gilgal.
E madrugou Samuel para encontrar a Saul pela manhã: e annunciou-se a Samuel, dizendo: Já chegou Saul ao Carmelo, e eis que levantou para si uma columna. Então fez volta, e passou e desceu e Gilgal.
13 And Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said to him, May the blessing of the Lord be with you: I have done what was ordered by the Lord.
Veiu pois Samuel a Saul; e Saul lhe disse: Bemdito tu do Senhor; executei a palavra do Senhor.
14 And Samuel said, What then is this sound of the crying of sheep and the noise of oxen which comes to my ears?
Então disse Samuel: Que balido pois de ovelhas é este nos meus ouvidos, e o mugido de vaccas que oiço?
15 And Saul said, They have taken them from the Amalekites: for the people have kept the best of the sheep and of the oxen as an offering to the Lord your God; all the rest we have given up to destruction.
E disse Saul: De Amalek as trouxeram; porque o povo perdoou ao melhor das ovelhas e das vaccas, para as offerecer ao Senhor teu Deus: o resto porém temos destruido totalmente.
16 Then Samuel said to Saul, Say no more! Let me give you word of what the Lord has said to me this night. And he said to him, Say on.
Então disse Samuel a Saul: Espera, e te declararei o que o Senhor me disse esta noite. E elle disse-lhe: Falla.
17 And Samuel said, Though you may seem little to yourself, are you not head of the tribes of Israel? for the Lord with the holy oil made you king over Israel,
E disse Samuel: Porventura, sendo tu pequeno aos teus olhos, não foste por Cabeça das tribus de Israel? e o Senhor te ungiu rei sobre Israel.
18 And the Lord sent you on a journey and said, Go and put to the curse those sinners, the Amalekites, fighting against them till every one is dead.
E enviou-te o Senhor a este caminho, e disse: Vae, e destroe totalmente a estes peccadores, os amalekitas, e peleja contra elles, até que os aniquiles.
19 Why then did you not do the orders of the Lord, but by violently taking their goods did evil in the eyes of the Lord?
Porque pois não déste ouvidos á voz do Senhor, antes voaste ao despojo, e fizeste o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor?
20 And Saul said, Truly, I have done the orders of the Lord and have gone the way the Lord sent me; I have taken Agag, the king of Amalek, and have given the Amalekites up to destruction.
Então disse Saul a Samuel: Antes dei ouvidos á voz do Senhor, e caminhei no caminho pelo qual o Senhor me enviou; e trouxe a Agag, rei de Amalek, e os amalekitas destrui totalmente;
21 But the people took some of their goods, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which were put to the curse, to make an offering of them to the Lord your God in Gilgal.
Mas o povo tomou do despojo ovelhas e vaccas, o melhor do interdicto, para offerecer ao Senhor teu Deus em Gilgal.
22 And Samuel said, Has the Lord as much delight in offerings and burned offerings as in the doing of his orders? Truly, to do his pleasure is better than to make offerings, and to give ear to him than the fat of sheep.
Porém Samuel disse: Tem porventura o Senhor tanto prazer em holocaustos e sacrificios, como em que se obedeça á palavra do Senhor? eis que o obedecer é melhor do que o sacrificar, e o attender melhor é do que a gordura de carneiros.
23 For to go against his orders is like the sin of those who make use of secret arts, and pride is like giving worship to images. Because you have put away from you the word of the Lord, he has put you from your place as king.
Porque a rebellião é como o peccado de feitiçaria, e o porfiar é como iniquidade e idolatria. Porquanto tu rejeitaste a palavra do Senhor, elle tambem te rejeitou a ti, para que não sejas rei.
24 And Saul said to Samuel, Great is my sin: for I have gone against the orders of the Lord and against your words: because, fearing the people, I did what they said.
Então disse Saul a Samuel: Pequei, porquanto tenho traspassado o dito do Senhor e as tuas palavras: por- que temi ao povo, e dei ouvidos á sua voz.
25 So now, let my sin have forgiveness, and go back with me to give worship to the Lord.
Agora pois, te rogo, perdoa-me o meu peccado: e torna-te comigo, para que adore ao Senhor.
26 And Samuel said to Saul, I will not go back with you: for you have put away from you the word of the Lord, and the Lord has put you from your place as king over Israel.
Porém Samuel disse a Saul: Não tornarei comtigo: porquanto rejeitaste a palavra do Senhor, já te rejeitou o Senhor, para que não sejas rei sobre Israel.
27 And when Samuel was turning round to go away, Saul took the skirt of his robe in his hand, and the cloth came away.
E virando-se Samuel para se ir, elle lhe pegou pela borda da capa, e a rasgou.
28 And Samuel said to him, The Lord has taken away the kingdom of Israel from you this day by force, and has given it to a neighbour of yours who is better than you.
Então Samuel lhe disse: O Senhor tem rasgado de ti hoje o reino de Israel, e o tem dado ao teu proximo, melhor do que tu.
29 And further, the Glory of Israel will not say what is false, and his purpose may not be changed: for he is not a man, whose purpose may be changed.
E tambem aquelle que é a Força de Israel não mente nem se arrepende; porquanto não é um homem para que se arrependa.
30 Then he said, Great is my sin: but still, give me honour now before the heads of my people and before Israel, and come back with me so that I may give worship to the Lord your God.
Disse elle então: Pequei; honra-me porém agora diante dos anciãos do meu povo, e diante de Israel: e torna-te comigo, para que adore ao Senhor teu Deus.
31 So Samuel went back after Saul, and Saul gave worship to the Lord.
Então Samuel se tornou atraz de Saul: e Saul adorou ao Senhor.
32 Then Samuel said, Make Agag, the king of the Amalekites, come here to me. And Agag came to him shaking with fear. And Agag said, Truly the pain of death is past.
Então disse Samuel: Trazei-me aqui a Agag, rei dos amalekitas. E Agag veiu a elle melindrosamente: e disse Agag: Na verdade já passou a amargura da morte.
33 And Samuel said, As your sword has made women without children, so now your mother will be without children among women. And Agag was cut up by Samuel, bone from bone, before the Lord in Gilgal.
Disse porém Samuel: Assim como a tua espada desfilhou as mulheres, assim ficará desfilhada a tua mãe entre as mulheres. Então Samuel despedaçou a Agag perante o Senhor em Gilgal.
34 Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house in Gibeah, in the land of Saul.
Então Samuel se foi a Rama: e Saul subiu a sua casa, a Gibeah de Saul.
35 And Samuel never saw Saul again till the day of his death; but Samuel was sorrowing for Saul: and it was no longer the Lord's pleasure for Saul to be king over Israel.
E nunca mais viu Samuel a Saul até ao dia da sua morte; porque Samuel teve dó de Saul. E o Senhor se arrependeu de que pozera a Saul rei sobre Israel.
