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 Aphiach, the son of a Benjamite, a mighty man of valor.
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, young and handsome; and there was not a man among the children of Israel handsomer than he: from his shoulders and upward he was taller 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 there were lost the asses belonging to Kish, Saul's father; and Kish said to Saul his son, Do take with thee one of the servants, and arise, go seek the asses.
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 the mountain of Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalisha, but they found [them] not; then they passed through the land of Sha'alim, and there was nothing there; and he passed through the land of Benjamin, 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 When they were come in the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant that was with him, Come, and let us return; lest my father relinquish the care for the asses, and become anxious 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 the other said unto him, Behold now, a man of God is in this city, and the man is honored; all that he ever saith will surely come to pass: now let us go thither; perhaps he can tell 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 should go, what shall we bring to the man? for the bread is spent out of our vessels, and there is not a present to bring to the man of God: what have we with us?
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 in my hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver; and I will give this to the man of God, that he may 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 In former times it was custom in Israel, that when a man went to inquire of God, he said thus, Come, and let us go as far as the seer; for the Prophet of the present day was in former times 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, Thy word is good: 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 As they went up the ascent to the city, they found some maidens going out to draw water; and they 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 this day came he to the city; because the people have a sacrifice today on 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 are come into the city, ye will straightway find him, before yet he can go up to the high-place to eat; for the people will not eat until he be come, because he always blesseth the sacrifice; afterward eat those that are invited; and now go you up; for just today will ye surely 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. They were entering into the city, when, behold, Samuel came out toward them, 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 And the Lord had revealed to Samuel's ear one day before Saul's coming, saying,
Porque o Senhor o revelara aos ouvidos de Samuel, um dia antes que Saul viesse, dizendo:
16 About this time tomorrow will I send unto thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him as chief over my people Israel, that he may save my people out of the hand of the Philistines; for I have beheld 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, the Lord addressed him, Behold, the man of whom I spoke to thee, This one shall rule 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 And Saul drew near to Samuel within the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where is the house of the seer.
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, and ye shall eat with me today; and I will let thee go in the morning, and all that is in thy heart will I tell thee.
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 thy asses that were lost unto thee this day three days ago, do not set thy heart on them; for they have been found. And to whom belongeth all that is desirable in Israel? Is it not to thee, and to 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 son of Benjamin, of one of the smallest tribes of Israel? and [is not] my family the least of all the families of the tribes of Benjamin? wherefore then hast thou spoken to me such thing?
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 apartment; and he assigned them a place at the head of the invited guests, who 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, Hand here the portion which I gave thee, of which I said unto thee, Put it away 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 on it, and set it before Saul; and he said, Behold what is left! set it before thee, and eat; for unto this time hath it been kept from thee, since I said, I have invited the people. And Saul ate with Samuel on 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 they went down from the high-place into the city, and he spoke with Saul upon the roof.
Então desceram do alto para a cidade; e fallou com Saul sobre o eirado.
26 And they got up early; and it came to pass when the morning-dawn arose, that Samuel called Saul to the roof, saying, Up, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out, both of them, he and Samuel, into the street.
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 As they were going down to the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Say to the servant that he pass on before us, —and he passed on, —but thou remain standing a while, and I will let thee hear 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.
