1 Samuel 10
1 Then Samuel took the vial of oil and poured it on his head, and kissed him, and said, "Has not YHWH anointed you to be ruler over his people Israel? And you shall rule over the people of YHWH, and you shall save them out of the hand of their enemies all around. And this shall be the sign to you that YHWH has anointed you to be ruler over his inheritance.
Tomando então Samuel um frasco de azeite, derramou-o sobre sua cabeça, e beijou-o, e disse-lhe: Não foi o SENHOR que te ungiu para que sejas líder sobre sua propriedade?
2 When you have departed from me today, then you shall find two men by Rachel's tomb, in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will tell you, 'The donkeys which you went to seek have been found; and look, your father has stopped caring about the donkeys, and is anxious for you, saying, "What shall I do about my son?"'
Hoje, depois que te tenhas apartado de mim, acharás dois homens junto ao sepulcro de Raquel, no termo de Benjamim, em Zelza, os quais te dirão: As asnas que havias ido a buscar, se acharam; teu pai pois há deixado já o negócio das asnas, porém está preocupado convosco, dizendo: Que farei acerca de meu filho?
3 Then you will go on further from there and you will come to the oak of Tabor, and three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you. One will be carrying three young goats, and another carrying three containers of bread, and another carrying a container of wine.
E quando dali te fores mais adiante, e chegares à campina de Tabor, te sairão ao encontro três homens que sobem a Deus em Betel, levando o um três cabritos, e o outro três tortas de pão, e o terceiro uma vasilha de vinho:
4 And they will greet you and give you two wave offerings of bread, which you shall accept from their hand.
Os quais, logo que te tenham saudado, te darão dois pães, os quais tomarás das mãos deles.
5 After that you shall come to Gibeath Elohim, where the Philistine garrison is. And it shall happen, when you have come there to the city, that you shall meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with harps, and tambourines, and flutes, and lyres before them, and they will be prophesying.
De ali virás ao morro de Deus de onde está a guarnição dos filisteus; e quando entrares ali na cidade encontrarás uma companhia de profetas que descem do alto, e diante deles saltério, e adufe, e flauta, e harpa, e eles profetizando:
6 And the Spirit of YHWH will come mightily on you, and you shall prophesy with them, and shall be transformed into a different person.
E o espírito do SENHOR te arrebatará, e profetizarás com eles, e serás transformado em outro homem.
7 And let it be, when these signs have come to you, that you do as the occasion demands, for God is with you.
E quando te houverem sobrevindo estas sinais, faze o que te vier à mão, porque Deus é contigo.
8 You shall go down before me to Gilgal; and look, I will come down to you, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: you shall wait seven days, until I come to you, and show you what you shall do."
E descerás antes de mim a Gilgal; e logo descerei eu a ti para sacrificar holocaustos, e imolar sacrifícios pacíficos. Espera sete dias, até que eu venha a ti, e te ensine o que hás de fazer.
9 When he had turned his back to leave Samuel, God changed his heart, and all these signs came to pass that day.
E foi que assim quando virou ele seu ombro para partir-se de Samuel, mudou-lhe Deus seu coração; e todas estes sinais aconteceram naquele dia.
10 And he went from there to Gibeah, and look, a band of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came mightily on him, and he prophesied among them.
E quando chegaram ali ao morro, eis que a companhia dos profetas que vinha a encontrar-se com ele, e o Espírito de Deus o arrebatou, e profetizou entre eles.
11 It happened, when all who knew him before saw that, look, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another, "What is this that has come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"
E aconteceu que, quando todos os que o conheciam de antes viram como profetizava com os profetas, o povo dizia o um ao outro: Que sucedeu ao filho de Quis? Saul também entre os profetas?
12 One of the same place answered, "Who is their father?" Therefore it became a proverb, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"
E algum dali respondeu, e disse: E quem é o pai deles? Por esta causa se tornou em provérbio: Também Saul entre os profetas?
13 And when he had finished prophesying, and went home,
E cessou de profetizar, e chegou ao alto.
14 then his uncle said to him and to his servant, "Where did you go?" And he said, "To seek the donkeys. When we saw that they were not found, we went to Samuel."
E um tio de Saul disse a ele e a seu criado: Aonde fostes? E ele respondeu: A buscar as asnas; e quando vimos que não apareciam, fomos a Samuel.
15 Saul's uncle said, "Please tell me what Samuel said to you."
E disse o tio de Saul: Eu te rogo me declares que vos disse Samuel.
16 Saul said to his uncle, "He told us plainly that the donkeys were found." But concerning the matter of the kingdom he did not tell him.
E Saul respondeu a seu tio: Declarou-nos expressamente que as asnas haviam aparecido. Mas do negócio do reino, de que Samuel lhe havia falado, não lhe revelou nada.
17 Samuel called the people together to YHWH to Mizpah;
E Samuel convocou o povo ao SENHOR em Mispá;
18 and he said to the children of Israel, "Thus says YHWH, the God of Israel, 'I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you:'
E disse aos filhos de Israel: Assim disse o SENHOR o Deus de Israel: Eu tirei a Israel do Egito, e vos livre da mão dos egípcios, e da mão de todos os reinos que vos afligiram:
19 but you have this day rejected your God, who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said, 'No. Set a king over us.' Now therefore present yourselves before YHWH by your tribes, and by your thousands."
Mas vós rejeitastes hoje a vosso Deus, que vos guarda de todas as vossas aflições e angústias, e dissestes: Não, mas sim põe rei sobre nós. Agora pois, ponde-vos diante do SENHOR por vossas tribos e por vossos milhares.
20 So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
E fazendo achegar Samuel todas as tribos de Israel, foi tomada a tribo de Benjamim.
21 He brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families, and the family of the Matrites was taken. And he brought the family of the Matrites near man by man, and Saul the son of Kish was taken. But when they looked for him, he could not be found.
E fez chegar a tribo de Benjamim por suas linhagens, e foi tomada a família de Matri; e dela foi tomado Saul filho de Quis. E lhe buscaram, mas não foi achado.
22 Therefore they asked of YHWH further, "Is there a man yet to come here?" YHWH answered, "Look, he has hidden himself among the baggage."
Perguntaram pois outra vez ao SENHOR, se havia ainda de vir ali aquele homem. E respondeu o SENHOR: Eis que ele está escondido entre a bagagem.
23 They ran and fetched him there; and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
Então correram, e tomaram-no dali, e posto em meio do povo, desde o ombro acima era mais alto que todo o povo.
24 Samuel said to all the people, "You see him whom YHWH has chosen, that there is none like him among all the people?" All the people shouted, and said, "Let the king live."
E Samuel disse a todo o povo: Vistes ao que o SENHOR escolheu, que não há semelhante a ele em todo o povo? Então o povo clamou com alegria, dizendo: Viva o rei!
25 Then Samuel told the people the regulations of the kingdom, and wrote it on a scroll, and laid it up before YHWH. Samuel sent all the people away, every man went to his place
Então Samuel recitou ao povo o direito do reino, e escreveu-o em um livro, o qual guardou diante do SENHOR.
26 Saul also went to his house to Gibeah; and there went with him the valient men, whose hearts YHWH had touched.
E enviou Samuel a todo o povo cada um a sua casa. E Saul também se foi a sua casa em Gibeá, e foram com ele o exército, o coração dos quais Deus havia tocado.
27 But certain worthless fellows said, "How shall this man save us?" So they despised him, and brought him no present. Now Nahash, king of the Ammonites, was severely oppressing the Gadites and the Reubenites. He put out the right eye of all of them, and he would not allow anyone to rescue Israel. Not one was left of the children of Israel beyond the Jordan whose right eye Nahash, king of the Ammonites, did not put out, except for seven thousand men who had escaped from the Ammonites and went to Jabesh Gilead.
Porém os ímpios disseram: Como nos há de salvar este? E tiveram-lhe em pouco, e não lhe trouxeram presente: mas ele dissimulou.
