1 Samuel 8
1 And it comes to pass, when Samuel [is] aged, that he makes his sons judges over Israel.
E aconteceu que havendo Samuel envelhecido, pôs seus filhos por juízes sobre Israel.
2 And the name of his firstborn son is Joel, and the name of his second Abiah, judges in Beer-Sheba:
E o nome de seu filho primogênito foi Joel, e o nome do segundo, Abias: foram juízes 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.
Mas não andaram os filhos pelos caminhos de seu pai, antes se inclinaram atrás a ganância, recebendo suborno e pervertendo o direito.
4 And all [the] elderly of Israel gather themselves together, and come to Samuel at Ramath,
Então todos os anciãos de Israel se juntaram, e vieram a Samuel em Ramá,
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 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 is evil in the eyes of Samuel when they have said, “Give a king to us, to judge us”; and Samuel prays to YHWH.
E descontentou a Samuel esta palavra que disseram: Dá-nos rei 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 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 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 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, surely you certainly protest to them, and have declared to them the custom of the king who reigns 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 speaks all the words of YHWH to the people who are asking [for] a king from him,
E disse Samuel todas as palavras do SENHOR ao povo que lhe havia pedido 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;
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 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 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 takes your daughters for perfumers, and for cooks, and for bakers;
Tomará também vossas filhas para que sejam 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.
Também tomará vossas terras, vossas vinhas, e vossos bons olivais, e os dará a seus servos.
15 And he tithes your seed and your vineyards, and has given 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 your menservants and your maidservants, and the best of your young men and your donkeys, he takes, and has prepared for his own work;
Ele tomará vossos servos, e vossas servas, e vossos bons rapazes, e vossos asnos, e com eles fará suas obras.
17 he tithes your flock, and you are for servants to him.
Tomará o dízimo também do vosso rebanho, e sereis seus servos.
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.”
E clamareis aquele dia por causa de vosso rei que vos havereis escolhido, mas o SENHOR não vos ouvirá naquele 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 quis ouvir a voz de Samuel; antes disseram: Não, mas sim que haverá rei sobre nós:
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 seremos também como todas as nações, e nosso rei nos governará, e sairá diante de nós, e fará nossas guerras.
21 And Samuel hears all the words of the people, and speaks them in the ears of YHWH;
E ouviu Samuel todas as palavras do povo, e referiu-as aos 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.”
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.
