Kings I 8
1 And it came to pass when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
E aconteceu que havendo Samuel envelhecido, pôs seus filhos por juízes sobre Israel.
2 And these [are] the names of his sons; Joel the firstborn, and the name of the second Abia, judges in Bersabee.
E o nome de seu filho primogênito foi Joel, e o nome do segundo, Abias: foram juízes em Berseba.
3 And his sons did not walk in his way; and they turned aside after gain, and took gifts, and perverted judgements.
Mas não andaram os filhos pelos caminhos de seu pai, antes se inclinaram atrás a ganância, recebendo suborno e pervertendo o direito.
4 And the men of Israel gather themselves together, and come to Armathaim to Samuel,
Então todos os anciãos de Israel se juntaram, e vieram a Samuel em Ramá,
5 and they said to him, Behold, you are grown old, and your sons walk not in your way; and now set over us a king to judge us, as also the other nations [have].
E disseram-lhe: Eis que tu envelheceste, e teus filhos não vão por teus caminhos: portanto, constitui-nos agora um rei que nos julgue, como todas as nações.
6 And the thing [was] evil in the eyes of Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us: and Samuel prayed to the Lord.
E descontentou a Samuel esta palavra que disseram: Dá-nos rei que nos julgue. E Samuel orou ao SENHOR.
7 And the Lord said to Samuel, Hear the voice of the people, in whatever they shall say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from reigning over them.
E disse o SENHOR a Samuel: Ouve a voz do povo em tudo o que te disserem: porque não rejeitaram a ti, mas sim a mim me rejeitaram, para que eu não reine sobre eles.
8 According to all their doings which they have done to me, from the day that I brought them out of Egypt until this day, even [as] they have deserted me, and served other gods, so they do also to you.
Conforme todas as obras que fizeram desde o dia que os tirei do Egito até hoje, que me deixaram e serviram a deuses alheios, assim fazem também contigo.
9 And now listen to their voice; only you shall solemnly testify to them, and you shall describe to them the manner of the king who shall reign over them.
Agora, pois, ouve sua voz: mas protesta contra eles declarando-lhes o direito do rei que há de reinar sobre eles.
10 And Samuel spoke every word of the Lord to the people who asked of him a king.
E disse Samuel todas as palavras do SENHOR ao povo que lhe havia pedido rei.
11 And he said, This shall be the manner of the king that shall rule over you: he shall take your sons, and put them in his chariots, and amongst his horsemen, and running before his chariots,
Disse, pois: Este será o direito do rei que houver de reinar sobre vós: tomará vossos filhos, e os porá em seus carros, e em seus cavaleiros, para que corram diante de seu carro:
12 and [his manner shall be] to make them to himself captains of hundreds and captains of thousands; and to reap his harvest, and gather his vintage, and prepare his instruments of war, and the implements of his chariots.
E se escolherá capitães de mil, e capitães de cinquenta: os porá também a que arem seus campos, e ceifem suas plantações, e a que façam suas armas de guerra, e os equipamentos de seus carros:
13 And he will take your daughters to be perfumers, and cooks, and bakers.
Tomará também vossas filhas para que sejam perfumistas, cozinheiras, e padeiras.
14 And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your good olive yards, and give them to his servants.
Também tomará vossas terras, vossas vinhas, e vossos bons olivais, e os dará a seus servos.
15 And he will take the tithe of your seeds and your vineyards, and give [it] to his eunuchs, and to his servants.
Ele tomará o dízimo de vossas sementes e vossas vinhas, para dar a seus eunucos e a seus servos.
16 And he will take your servants, and your handmaids, and your good herds and your asses, and will take the tenth of them for his works.
Ele tomará vossos servos, e vossas servas, e vossos bons rapazes, e vossos asnos, e com eles fará suas obras.
17 And he will tithe your flocks; and you shall be his servants.
Tomará o dízimo também do vosso rebanho, e sereis seus servos.
18 And you shall cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen to yourselves, and the Lord shall not hear you in those days, because you have chosen to yourselves a king.
E clamareis aquele dia por causa de vosso rei que vos havereis escolhido, mas o SENHOR não vos ouvirá naquele dia.
19 But the people would not listen to Samuel; and they said to him, Nay, but there shall be a king over us.
Porém o povo não quis ouvir a voz de Samuel; antes disseram: Não, mas sim que haverá rei sobre nós:
20 An we also will be like all the nations; and our king shall judge us, and shall go out before us, and fight our battles.
E nós seremos também como todas as nações, e nosso rei nos governará, e sairá diante de nós, e fará nossas guerras.
21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and spoke them in the ears of the Lord.
E ouviu Samuel todas as palavras do povo, e referiu-as aos ouvidos do SENHOR.
22 And the Lord said to Samuel, Listen to their voice, and appoint them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel, Let each man depart to his city.
E o SENHOR disse a Samuel: Ouve sua voz, e põe rei sobre eles. Então disse Samuel aos homens de Israel: Ide-vos cada um à sua cidade.
