Kings I 10
1 And Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured [it] on his head, and kissed him, and said to him, Has not the Lord anointed you for a ruler over his people, over Israel? and you shall rule amongst the people of the Lord, and you shall save them out of the hand of their enemies; and this [shall be] the sign to you that the Lord has anointed you for a ruler over his inheritance.
Então tomou Samuel um vaso de azeite, e lho derramou sobre a cabeça, e o beijou, e disse: Porventura te não tem ungido o Senhor por capitão sobre a sua herdade?
2 [As soon] as you shall have departed this day from me, you shall find two men by the burial-place of Rachel on the mount of Benjamin, exulting greatly; and they shall say to you, The asses are found which you went to seek; and, behold, your father has given up the matter of the asses, and he is anxious for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
Partindo-te hoje de mim, acharás dois homens junto ao sepulcro de Rachel, no termo de Benjamin, em Zelsah, os quais te dirão: Acharam-se as jumentas que foste buscar, e eis que já o teu pai deixou o negócio das jumentas, e anda aflito por causa de vós, dizendo: Que farei eu por meu filho?
3 And you shall depart thence, and shall go beyond that as far as the oak of Thabor, and you shall find there three men going up to God to Baethel, one bearing three kids, and another bearing three vessels of bread, and another bearing a bottle of wine.
E quando dali passares mais adiante, e chegares ao carvalho de Tabor, ali te encontrarão três homens, que vão subindo a Deus a bethel: um levando três cabritos, o outro três bolos de pão, e o outro um odre de vinho.
4 And they shall ask you how you do, and shall give you two presents of bread, and you shall receive them of their hand.
E te perguntarão como estás, e te darão dois pães, que tomarás da sua mão.
5 And afterward you shall go to the hill of God, where is the encampment of the Philistines; there [is] Nasib the Philistine: an it shall come to pass when you shall have entered into the city, that you shall meet a band of prophets coming down from the Bama; and before them will be lutes, and a drum, and a pipe, and a harp, and they shall prophesy.
Então virás ao outeiro de Deus, onde está a guarnição dos philisteus; e há de ser que, entrando ali na cidade, encontrarás um rancho de profetas que descem do alto, e trazem diante de si saltérios, e tambores, e flautas, e harpas; e profetizarão.
6 And the Spirit of the Lord shall come upon you, and you shall prophesy with them, and shall be turned into another man.
E o espírito do Senhor se apoderará de ti, e profetizarás com eles, e te mudarás em outro homem.
7 And it shall come to pass when these signs shall come upon you, —[then] do you whatever your hand shall find, because God [is] with you.
E há de ser que, quando estes sinais te vierem, faze o que achar a tua mão, porque Deus é contigo.
8 And you shall go down in front of Galgal, and behold, I come down to you to offer a whole burnt offering and peace-offerings: seven days shall you wait until I shall come to you, and I will make known to you what you shall do.
Tu porém descerás diante de mim a Gilgal, e eis que eu descerei a ti, para sacrificar holocaustos, e para oferecer ofertas pacíficas: ali sete dias esperarás, até que eu venha a ti, e te declare o que as de fazer.
9 And it came to pass when he turned his back to depart from Samuel, God gave him another heart; and all these signs came to pass in that day.
Sucedeu pois que, virando ele as costas para partir de Samuel, Deus lhe mudou o coração em outro: e todos aqueles sinais aconteceram aquele mesmo dia.
10 And he comes thence to the hill, and behold a band of prophets opposite to him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied in the midst of them.
E, chegando eles ao outeiro, eis que um rancho de profetas lhes saiu ao encontro: e o espírito do Senhor se apoderou dele, e profetizou no meio deles.
11 And all that had known him before came, and saw, and behold, he [was] in the midst of the prophets: and the people said every one to his neighbour, What [is] this that has happened to the son of Kis? [is] Saul also amongst the prophets?
E aconteceu que, como todos os que de antes o conheciam viram que eis que com os profetas profetizava, então disse o povo, cada qual ao seu companheiro: Que é o que sucedeu ao filho de Kis? Está também Saul entre os profetas?
12 And one of them answered and said, And who [is] his father? and therefore it became a proverb, [Is] Saul also amongst the prophets?
Então um homem dali respondeu, e disse: Pois quem é o pai deles? Pelo que se tornou em provérbio: Está também Saul entre os profetas?
13 And he ceased prophesying, and comes to the hill.
E, acabando de profetizar, veio ao alto.
14 And his kinsman said to him and to his servant, Whither went you? and they said, To seek the asses; and we saw that they were lost, and we went in to Samuel.
E disse-lhe o tio de Saul, a ele e ao seu moço: Aonde fostes? E disse ele: A buscar as jumentas, e, vendo que não apareciam, viemos a Samuel.
15 And his kinsman said to Saul, Tell me, I pray you, What did Samuel say to you?
Então disse o tio de Saul: Declara-me, peço-te, que é o que vos disse Samuel?
16 And Saul said to his kinsman, he verily told me that the asses were found. But the matter of the kingdom he told him not.
E disse Saul a seu tio: Declarou-nos, na verdade, que as jumentas se acharam. Porém o negócio do reino, de que Samuel falara, lhe não declarou.
17 And Samuel summoned all the people before the Lord to Massephath.
Convocou pois Samuel o povo ao Senhor em Mispah.
18 And he said to the children of Israel, Thus has the Lord God of Israel spoken, saying, I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, and I rescued you out of the hand of Pharao king of Egypt, and out of all the kingdoms that afflicted you.
E disse aos filhos de Israel: Assim disse o Senhor Deus de Israel: Eu fiz subir a Israel do Egito, e livrei-vos da mão dos egípcios e da mão de todos os reinos que vos oprimiam.
19 And you have this day rejected God, who is himself your Deliverer out of all your evils and afflictions; and you said, Nay, but you shall set a king over us: and now stand before the Lord according to your tribes, and according to your families.
Mas vós tendes rejeitado hoje a vosso Deus, que vos livrou de todos os vossos males e trabalhos, e lhe tendes dito: Põe um rei sobre nós: agora, pois, ponde-vos perante o Senhor, pelas vossas tribos e pelos vossos milhares.
20 And Samuel brought near all the tribes of Israel, and the tribe of Benjamin is taken by lot.
Fazendo pois chegar Samuel todas as tribos, tomou-se a tribo de Benjamin.
21 And he brings near the tribe of Benjamin by families, and the family of Mattari is taken by lot: and they bring near the family of Mattari, man by man, and Saul the son of Kis is taken; and he sought him, but he was not found.
E, fazendo chegar a tribo de Ben-jamin pelas suas famílias, tomou-se a família de Matri: e dela se tomou Saul, filho de Kis; e o buscaram, porém não se achou.
22 And Samuel asked yet again of the Lord, Will the man come here? and the Lord said, Behold, he is hid amongst the stuff.
Então tornaram a perguntar ao Senhor se aquele homem ainda viria ali. E disse o Senhor: Eis que se escondeu entre a bagagem.
23 And he ran and took him thence, and he set him in the midst of the people; and he was higher than all the people by his shoulders and upwards.
E correram, e o tomaram dali, e pôs-se no meio do povo: e era mais alto do que todo o povo desde o ombro para cima.
24 And Samuel said to all the people, Have you seen whom the Lord has chosen to himself, that there is none like to him amongst you all? And all the people took notice, and said, Let the king live!
Então disse Samuel a todo o povo: Vêdes já a quem o Senhor tem elegido? pois em todo o povo não há nenhum semelhante a ele. Então jubilou todo o povo, e disseram: Viva o rei!
25 And Samuel told the people the manner of the king, and wrote it in a book, and set it before the Lord: and Samuel sent away all the people, and each went to his place.
E declarou Samuel ao povo o direito do reino, e escreveu-o num livro, e pô-lo perante o Senhor: então enviou Samuel a todo o povo, cada um para sua casa.
26 And Saul departed to his house to Gabaa; and there went with Saul mighty men whose hearts God had touched.
E foi-se também Saul a sua casa, a Gibeah: e foram com ele do exército aqueles cujos corações Deus tocara.
27 But evil men said, Who [is] this man [that] shall save us? and they despised him, and brought him no gifts.
Mas os filhos de Belial disseram: É este o que nos há de livrar? E o desprezaram, e não lhe trouxeram presentes: porém ele se fez como surdo.
