1 Samuel 9
1 Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power.
E havia um homem de Benjamin, cujo nome era Kis, filho de Abiel, filho de Zeror, filho de Bechorath, filho de Aphia, filho d'um homem de Benjamin: varão alentado em força.
2 And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people.
Este tinha um filho, cujo nome era Saul, mancebo, e tão bello que entre os filhos de Israel não havia outro homem mais bello do que elle; desde os hombros para cima sobresahia a todo o povo.
3 And the donkeys of Kish Saul’s father were lost. And Kish said to Saul his son, Take now one of the servants with thee, and arise, go seek the donkeys.
E perderam-se as jumentas de Kis, pae de Saul; pelo que disse Kis a Saul, seu filho: Toma agora comtigo um dos moços, e levanta-te e vae a buscar as jumentas.
4 And he passed through mount Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalisha, but they found them not: then they passed through the land of Shalim, and there they were not: and he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they found them not.
Passou pois pela montanha de Ephraim, e d'ali passou á terra de Salisa, porém não as acharam: depois passaram á terra de Sahalim, porém tão pouco estavam ali: tambem passou á terra de Benjamin, porém tão pouco as acharam.
5 And when they were come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant that was with him, Come, and let us return; lest my father leave caring for the donkeys, and take thought for us.
Vindo elles então á terra de Zuph, Saul disse para o seu moço, com quem elle ia: Vem, e voltemos; para que porventura meu pae não deixe de inquietar-se pelas jumentas e se afflija por causa de nós
6 And he said unto him, Behold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honourable man; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can shew us our way that we should go.
Porém elle lhe disse: Eis que ha n'esta cidade um homem de Deus, e homem honrado é: tudo quanto diz, succede assim infallivelmente: vamo-nos agora lá; porventura nos mostrará o caminho que devemos seguir.
7 Then said Saul to his servant, But, behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and there is not a present to bring to the man of God: what have we?
Então Saul disse ao seu moço: Eis, porém, se lá formos, que levaremos então áquelle homem? porque o pão de nossos alforges se acabou, e presente nenhum temos que levar ao homem de Deus: que temos?
8 And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver: that will I give to the man of God, to tell us our way.
E o moço tornou a responder a Saul, e disse: Eis que ainda se acha na minha mão um quarto d'um siclo de prata, o qual darei ao homem de Deus, para que nos mostre o caminho.
9 ( Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to enquire of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer: for he that is now called a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.)
(Antigamente em Israel, indo qualquer consultar a Deus, dizia assim: Vinde, e vamos ao vidente: porque ao propheta de hoje antigamente se chamava vidente.)
10 Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went unto the city where the man of God was.
Então disse Saul ao moço: Bem dizes, vem, pois, vamos. E foram-se á cidade onde estava o homem de Deus.
11 And as they went up the hill to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said unto them, Is the seer here?
E, subindo elles pela subida da cidade, acharam umas moças que sahiam a tirar agua; e disseram-lhes: Está cá o vidente?
12 And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, he is before you: make haste now, for he came to day to the city; for there is a sacrifice of the people to day in the high place:
E ellas lhes responderam, e disseram: Sim, eil-o aqui tens diante de ti: apressa-te pois, porque hoje veiu á cidade; porquanto o povo tem hoje sacrificio no alto.
13 As soon as ye be come into the city, ye shall straightway find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat until he come, because he doth bless the sacrifice; and afterwards they eat that be bidden. Now therefore get you up; for about this time ye shall find him.
Entrando vós na cidade, logo o achareis, antes que suba ao alto para comer; porque o povo não comerá, até que elle venha; porque elle é o que abençoa o sacrificio, e depois comem os convidados: subi pois agora, que hoje o achareis.
14 And they went up into the city: and when they were come into the city, behold, Samuel came out against them, for to go up to the high place.
Subiram pois á cidade: e, vindo elles no meio da cidade, eis que Samuel lhes saiu ao encontro, para subir ao alto.
15 Now Yhwh had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, saying,
Porque o Senhor o revelara aos ouvidos de Samuel, um dia antes que Saul viesse, dizendo:
16 To morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be captain over my people Israel, that he may save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me.
Ámanhã a estas horas te enviarei um homem da terra de Benjamin, o qual ungirás por capitão sobre o meu povo de Israel, e elle livrará o meu povo da mão dos philisteos; porque tenho olhado para o meu povo; porque o clamor chegou a mim
17 And when Samuel saw Saul, Yhwh said unto him, Behold the man whom I spake to thee of! this same shall reign over my people.
E quando Samuel viu a Saul, o Senhor lhe respondeu: Eis aqui o homem de quem já te tenho dito. Este dominará sobre o meu povo.
18 Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer’s house is.
E Saul se chegou a Samuel no meio da porta, e disse: Mostra-me, peço-te, onde está aqui a casa do vidente.
19 And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I am the seer: go up before me unto the high place; for ye shall eat with me to day, and to morrow I will let thee go, and will tell thee all that is in thine heart.
E Samuel respondeu a Saul, e disse: Eu sou o vidente; sobe diante de mim ao alto, e comei hoje comigo; e pela manhã te despedirei, e tudo quanto está no teu coração, t'o declararei.
20 And as for thine donkeys that were lost three days ago, set not thy mind on them; for they are found. And on whom is all the desire of Israel? Is it not on thee, and on all thy father’s house?
E quanto ás jumentas que ha tres dias se te perderam, não occupes o teu coração com ellas, porque já se acharam. E para quem é todo o desejo de Israel? porventura não é para ti, e para toda a casa de teu pae
21 And Saul answered and said, Am not I a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? wherefore then speakest thou so to me?
Então respondeu Saul, e disse: Porventura não sou eu filho de Benjamin, da mais pequena das tribus de Israel? e a minha familia a mais pequena de todas as familias da tribu de Benjamin? porque pois me fallas com similhantes palavras?
22 And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the parlour, and made them sit in the chiefest place among them that were bidden, which were about thirty persons.
Porém Samuel tomou a Saul e ao seu moço, e os levou á camara; e deu-lhes logar a cima de todos os convidados, que eram uns trinta homens.
23 And Samuel said unto the cook, Bring the portion which I gave thee, of which I said unto thee, Set it by thee.
Então disse Samuel ao cozinheiro: Dá cá a porção que te dei, de que te disse: Pôe-n'a á parte comtigo.
24 And the cook took up the shoulder, and that which was upon it, and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, Behold that which is left! set it before thee, and eat: for unto this time hath it been kept for thee since I said, I have invited the people. So Saul did eat with Samuel that day.
Levantou pois o cozinheiro a espadoa, com o que havia n'ella, e pôl-a diante de Saul: e disse Samuel: Eis que isto é o sobejo; pôe-n'o diante de ti, e come; porque se guardou para ti para esta occasião, dizendo eu: Tenho convidado o povo. Assim comeu Saul aquelle dia com Samuel.
25 And when they were come down from the high place into the city, Samuel communed with Saul upon the top of the house.
Então desceram do alto para a cidade; e fallou com Saul sobre o eirado.
26 And they arose early: and it came to pass about the spring of the day, that Samuel called Saul to the top of the house, saying, Up, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad.
E se levantaram de madrugada; e succedeu que, quasi ao subir da alva, chamou Samuel a Saul ao eirado, dizendo: Levanta-te, e despedir-te-hei. Levantou-se Saul, e sairam para fóra ambos, elle e Samuel.
27 And as they were going down to the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant pass on before us, (and he passed on, ) but stand thou still a while, that I may shew thee the word of God.
E, descendo elles para a extremidade da cidade, Samuel disse a Saul: Dize ao moço que passe adiante de nós; (e passou) porém tu espera agora, e te farei ouvir a palavra de Deus.
