1 Samuel 8
1 And it comes to pass, when Samuel [is] aged, that he makes his sons judges over Israel.
E succedeu que, tendo Samuel envelhecido, constituiu a seus filhos por juizes sobre Israel.
2 And the name of his firstborn son is Joel, and the name of his second Abiah, judges in Beer-Sheba:
E era o nome do seu filho primogenito Joel, e o nome do seu segundo Abia: e foram juizes em Berseba.
3 and his sons have not walked in his ways, and turn aside after the dishonest gain, and take a bribe, and turn aside judgment.
Porém seus filhos não andaram pelos caminhos d'elle, antes se inclinaram á avareza, e tomaram presentes, e perverteram o juizo.
4 And all [the] elderly of Israel gather themselves together, and come to Samuel at Ramath,
Então todos os anciãos de Israel se congregaram, e vieram a Samuel, a Rama,
5 and say to him, “Behold, you have become aged, and your sons have not walked in your ways; now, appoint a king to us, to judge us, like all the nations.”
E disseram-lhe: Eis que já estás velho, e teus filhos não andam pelos teus caminhos; constitue-nos pois agora um rei sobre nós, para que elle nos julgue, como o teem todas as nações.
6 And the thing is evil in the eyes of Samuel when they have said, “Give a king to us, to judge us”; and Samuel prays to YHWH.
Porém esta palavra pareceu mal aos olhos de Samuel, quando disseram: Dá-nos um rei, para que nos julgue. E Samuel orou ao Senhor.
7 And YHWH says to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people, to all that they 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 quanto te disserem, pois não te teem rejeitado a ti, antes a mim me teem rejeitado para eu não reinar sobre elles.
8 According to all the works that they have done from the day of My bringing them up out of Egypt, even to this day, when they forsake Me, and serve other gods—so they are also doing to you.
Conforme a todas as obras que fizeram desde o dia em que os tirei do Egypto até ao dia de hoje, e a mim me deixaram, e a outros deuses serviram, assim tambem te fizeram a ti.
9 And now, listen to their voice; only, surely you certainly protest to them, and have declared to them the custom of the king who reigns over them.”
Agora, pois, ouve a sua voz, porém protesta-lhes solemnemente, e declara-lhes qual será o costume do rei que houver de reinar sobre elles.
10 And Samuel speaks all the words of YHWH to the people who are asking [for] a king from him,
E fallou Samuel todas as palavras do Senhor ao povo, que lhe pedia um rei.
11 and says, “This is the custom of the king who reigns over you: he takes your sons, and has appointed for himself among his chariots, and among his horsemen, and they have run before his chariots;
E disse: Este será o costume do rei que houver de reinar sobre vós: elle tomará os vossos filhos, e os empregará para os seus carros, e para seus cavalleiros, para que corram adiante dos seus carros.
12 also to appoint for himself heads of thousands, and heads of fifties; also to plow his plowing, and to reap his reaping; and to make instruments of his war, and instruments of his charioteer.
E os porá por principes de milhares e por cincoentenarios; e para que lavrem a sua lavoura, e seguem a sua sega, e façam as suas armas de guerra e os petrechos de seus carros.
13 And he takes your daughters for perfumers, and for cooks, and for bakers;
E tomará as vossas filhas para perfumistas, cozinheiras, e padeiras.
14 and your fields, and your vineyards, and your olive-yards—he takes the best, and has given to his servants.
E tomará o melhor das vossas terras, e das vossas vinhas, e dos vossos olivaes, e os dará aos seus creados.
15 And he tithes your seed and your vineyards, and has given to his eunuchs, and to his servants.
E as vossas, sementes, e as vossas vinhas dizimará, para dar aos seus eunuchos, e aos seus creados.
16 And your menservants and your maidservants, and the best of your young men and your donkeys, he takes, and has prepared for his own work;
Tambem os vossos creados, e as vossas creadas, e os vossos melhores mancebos, e os vossos jumentos tomará, e os empregará no seu trabalho.
17 he tithes your flock, and you are for servants to him.
Dizimará o vosso rebanho, e vós lhe servireis de creados.
18 And you have cried out in that day because of the king whom you have chosen for yourselves, and YHWH does not answer you in that day.”
Então n'aquelle dia clamareis por causa do vosso rei, que vós houverdes escolhido; mas o Senhor não vos ouvirá n'aquelle dia
19 And the people refuse to listen to the voice of Samuel, and say, “No, but a king is over us,
Porém o povo não quiz ouvir a voz de Samuel; e disseram: Não, mas haverá sobre nós um rei.
20 and we have been, even we, like all the nations; and our king has judged us, and gone out before us, and fought our battles.”
E nós tambem seremos como todas as outras nações; e o nosso rei nos julgará, e sairá adiante de nós, e fará as nossas guerras.
21 And Samuel hears all the words of the people, and speaks them in the ears of YHWH;
Ouvindo pois Samuel todas as palavras do povo, as fallou perante os ouvidos do Senhor.
22 and YHWH says to Samuel, “Listen to their voice, and you have caused a king to reign over them.” And Samuel says to the men of Israel, “Go, each man, to his city.”
Então o Senhor disse a Samuel: Dá ouvidos á sua voz, e constitue-lhes rei. Então Samuel disse aos filhos de Israel: Vá-se cada qual á sua cidade.
