1 Samuel 15
1 Samuel said to Saul, "YHWH sent me to anoint you to be king over Israel. Now therefore listen to the voice of the words of YHWH.
E Samuel disse a Saul: o SENHOR me enviou a que te ungisse por rei sobre seu povo Israel: ouve pois a voz das palavras do SENHOR.
2 Thus says YHWH of hosts, 'I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, how he set himself against him in the way, when he came up out of Egypt.
Assim disse o SENHOR dos exércitos: Lembro-me do que fez Amaleque a Israel; que se lhe opôs no caminho, quando subia do Egito.
3 Now go and strike Amalek and put them and everything that belongs to them under the ban. And do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.'"
Vai pois, e fere a Amaleque, e destruireis nele tudo o que tiver: e não te apiedes dele: mata homens e mulheres, crianças e bebês que mamam, vacas e ovelhas, camelos e asnos.
4 Saul summoned the people, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
Saul pois juntou o povo, e reconheceu-os em Telaim, duzentos mil a pé, e dez mil homens de Judá.
5 Saul came to the city of Amalek, and lay in wait in the valley.
E vindo Saul à cidade de Amaleque, pôs emboscada no vale.
6 Saul said to the Kenites, "Go, depart, go down from among Amalek, lest I sweep you away with them; for you showed kindness to the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt." So the Kenites departed from among Amalek.
E disse Saul aos queneus: Ide-vos, apartai-vos, e saí de entre os de Amaleque, para que não te destrua juntamente com ele: pois que tu fizeste misericórdia com todos os filhos de Israel, quando subiam do Egito. Apartaram-se, pois os queneus dentre os de Amaleque.
7 Saul struck Amalek, from Havilah as you go to Shur, that is before Egypt.
E Saul feriu a Amaleque, desde Havilá até chegar a Sur, que está à fronteira do Egito.
8 He took Agag the king of Amalek alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
E tomou vivo a Agague rei de Amaleque, mas a todo o povo matou a fio de espada.
9 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and the cattle, and the fat ones and the lambs, and all that was good, and wouldn't utterly destroy them; but everything that was despised and rejected, that they utterly destroyed.
E Saul e o povo pouparam a Agague, e a o melhor das ovelhas, e ao gado maior, aos grossos e aos carneiros, e a todo o bom: que não o quiseram destruir: mas tudo o que era vil e fraco destruíram.
10 Then the word of YHWH came to Samuel, saying,
E veio a palavra do SENHOR a Samuel, dizendo:
11 "It grieves me that I have made Saul king; for he has turned back from following me, and has not carried out my commandments." And Samuel was angry; and he cried to YHWH all night.
Pesa-me de haver posto por rei a Saul, porque se desviou de me seguir, e não cumpriu minhas palavras. E entristeceu-se Samuel, e clamou ao SENHOR toda aquela noite.
12 And Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning; and it was told Samuel, saying, "Saul came to Carmel, and look, he set up a monument for himself, and turned, and passed on, and went down to Gilgal." And Samuel came to Saul, and look, he was offering up a burnt offering to YHWH, the best of the spoils which he had brought from Amalek.
Madrugou logo Samuel para ir se encontrar com Saul pela manhã; e foi dado aviso a Samuel, dizendo: Saul veio ao Carmelo, e eis que ele se levantou um monumento, e depois voltando, passou e descido a Gilgal.
13 And Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said to him, "You are blessed by YHWH. I have performed the commandment of YHWH."
Veio, pois, Samuel a Saul, e Saul lhe disse: Bendito sejas tu do SENHOR; eu cumpri a palavra do SENHOR.
14 Samuel said, "Then what does this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the cattle which I hear mean?"
Samuel então disse: Pois que balido de gados e bramido de bois é este que eu ouço com meus ouvidos?
15 And Saul said, "I have brought them from Amalek; for the people spared the best of the sheep and the cattle to sacrifice to YHWH your God, and I have utterly destroyed the rest."
E Saul respondeu: De Amaleque os trouxeram; porque o povo poupou ao melhor das ovelhas e das vacas, para sacrificá-las ao SENHOR teu Deus; mas destruímos o resto.
16 Then Samuel said to Saul, "Stay, and I will tell you what YHWH has said to me last night." He said to him, "Say on."
Então disse Samuel a Saul: Deixa-me declarar-te o que o SENHOR me disse esta noite. E ele lhe respondeu: Dize.
17 Samuel said, "Though you were little in your own sight, weren't you made the head of the tribes of Israel? YHWH anointed you king over Israel;
E disse Samuel: Sendo tu pequeno em teus olhos não foste feito cabeça às tribos de Israel, e o SENHOR te ungiu por rei sobre Israel?
18 and YHWH sent you on a journey, and said to you, 'Go, and utterly destroy those sinners, Amalek, and fight against them until you have destroyed them.'
E enviou-te o SENHOR em jornada, e disse: Vai, e destrói os pecadores de Amaleque, e faze-lhes guerra até que os acabes.
19 Why then did you not obey the voice of YHWH, but took the spoils, and did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH?"
Por que, pois, não ouviste a voz do SENHOR, mas em vez disso te voltaste ao despojo, e fizeste o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR?
20 Saul said to Samuel, "But I have obeyed the voice of YHWH, and have gone the way which YHWH sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed Amalek.
E Saul respondeu a Samuel: Antes ouvi a voz do SENHOR, e fui à jornada que o SENHOR me enviou, e trouxe a Agague rei de Amaleque, e destruí aos amalequitas:
21 But the people took of the spoil, sheep and cattle, the chief of the devoted things, to sacrifice to YHWH your God in Gilgal."
Mas o povo tomou do despojo ovelhas e vacas, as primícias do anátema, para sacrificá-las ao SENHOR teu Deus em Gilgal.
22 Samuel said, "Has YHWH as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of YHWH? Look, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams.
E Samuel disse: Tem o SENHOR tanto contentamento com os holocaustos e vítimas, como em obedecer às palavras do SENHOR? Certamente o obedecer é melhor que os sacrifícios; e o prestar atenção que a gordura dos carneiros:
23 For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of YHWH, he has also rejected you from being king."
Porque como pecado de adivinhação é a rebelião, e como ídolos e idolatria o infringir. Porquanto tu rejeitaste a palavra do SENHOR, ele também te rejeitou para que não sejas rei.
24 Saul said to Samuel, "I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of YHWH, and your words, because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
Então Saul disse a Samuel: Eu pequei; porque violei o dito do SENHOR e tuas palavras, porque temi ao povo, consenti à voz deles. Perdoa, pois, agora meu pecado,
25 Now therefore, please pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship YHWH."
E volta comigo para que adore ao SENHOR.
26 Samuel said to Saul, "I will not return with you; for you have rejected the word of YHWH, and YHWH has rejected you from being king over Israel."
E Samuel respondeu a Saul: Não voltarei contigo; porque rejeitaste a palavra do SENHOR, e o SENHOR te rejeitou para que não sejas rei sobre Israel.
27 As Samuel turned about to go away, he grabbed the skirt of his robe, and it tore.
E voltando-se Samuel para ir-se, ele lançou mão da orla de sua capa, e rasgou-se.
28 Samuel said to him, "YHWH has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day, and has given it to a neighbor of yours who is better than you.
Então Samuel lhe disse: o SENHOR rasgou hoje de ti o reino de Israel, e o deu a teu próximo melhor que tu.
29 And also the Eternal One of Israel will not retract or change his mind; for he is not a man that he should change his mind."
E também o Poderoso de Israel não mentirá, nem se arrependerá: porque não é homem para que se arrependa.
30 Then he said, "I have sinned: yet please honor me now before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and come back with me, that I may worship YHWH your God."
E ele disse: Eu pequei: mas rogo-te que me honres diante dos anciãos de meu povo, e diante de Israel; e volta comigo para que adore ao SENHOR teu Deus.
31 So Samuel went back with Saul; and he worshiped YHWH.
E voltou Samuel atrás de Saul, e Saul adorou ao SENHOR.
32 Then Samuel said, "Bring here to me Agag the king of Amalek." And Agag came to him trembling. And Agag said, "Surely death is bitter."
Depois disse Samuel: Trazei-me a Agague rei de Amaleque. E Agague veio a ele delicadamente. E disse Agague: Certamente se passou a amargura da morte.
33 Samuel said, "As your sword has made women childless, so your mother will be childless among women." Samuel cut Agag in pieces before YHWH in Gilgal.
E Samuel disse: Como tua espada deixou as mulheres sem filhos, assim tua mãe será sem filho entre as mulheres. Então Samuel cortou em pedaços a Agague diante do SENHOR em Gilgal.
34 Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah.
Foi-se logo Samuel a Ramá, e Saul subiu a sua casa em Gibeá de Saul.
35 And Samuel did not see Saul again until the day of his death; for Samuel mourned for Saul. And YHWH grieved that he had made Saul king over Israel.
E nunca depois viu Samuel a Saul em toda sua vida: e Samuel chorava por Saul: mas o SENHOR se havia se arrependido de haver posto a Saul por rei sobre Israel.
