< 1 Samuel 10 >

1 Then Samuel took the vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not that the LORD hath anointed thee to be prince over his inheritance?
Então tomou Samuel um vaso de azeite, e lh'o derramou sobre a cabeça, e o beijou, e disse: Porventura te não tem ungido o Senhor por capitão sobre a sua herdade?
2 When thou art departed from me today, then thou shalt find two men by Rachel’s sepulchre, in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say unto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath left the care of the asses, and taketh thought for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
Partindo-te hoje de mim, acharás dois homens junto ao sepulchro de Rachel, no termo de Benjamin, em Zelsah, os quaes te dirão: Acharam-se as jumentas que foste buscar, e eis que já o teu pae deixou o negocio das jumentas, e anda afflicto por causa de vós, dizendo: Que farei eu por meu filho?
3 Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the oak of Tabor, and there shall meet thee there three men going up to God to Beth-el, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine:
E quando d'ali passares mais adiante, e chegares ao carvalho de Tabor, ali te encontrarão tres homens, que vão subindo a Deus a Beth-el: um levando tres cabritos, o outro tres bolos de pão, e o outro um odre de vinho.
4 and they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread; which thou shalt receive of their hand.
E te perguntarão como estás, e te darão dois pães, que tomarás da sua mão.
5 After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a timbrel, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall be prophesying:
Então virás ao outeiro de Deus, onde está a guarnição dos philisteos; e ha de ser que, entrando ali na cidade, encontrarás um rancho de prophetas que descem do alto, e trazem diante de si psalterios, e tambores, e flautas, e harpas; e prophetizarão.
6 and the spirit of the LORD will come mightily upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.
E o espirito do Senhor se apoderará de ti, e prophetizarás com elles, e te mudarás em outro homem.
7 And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion serve thee; for God is with thee.
E ha de ser que, quando estes signaes te vierem, faze o que achar a tua mão, porque Deus é comtigo.
8 And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down unto thee, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come unto thee, and shew thee what thou shalt do.
Tu porém descerás diante de mim a Gilgal, e eis que eu descerei a ti, para sacrificar holocaustos, e para offerecer offertas pacificas: ali sete dias esperarás, até que eu venha a ti, e te declare o que has de fazer.
9 And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day.
Succedeu pois que, virando elle as costas para partir de Samuel, Deus lhe mudou o coração em outro: e todos aquelles signaes aconteceram aquelle mesmo dia.
10 And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a band of prophets met him; and the spirit of God came mightily upon him, and he prophesied among them.
E, chegando elles ao outeiro, eis que um rancho de prophetas lhes saiu ao encontro: e o espirito do Senhor se apoderou d'elle, e prophetizou no meio d'elles.
11 And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?
E aconteceu que, como todos os que d'antes o conheciam viram que eis que com os prophetas prophetizava, então disse o povo, cada qual ao seu companheiro: Que é o que succedeu ao filho de Kis? Está tambem Saul entre os prophetas?
12 And one of the same place answered and said, And who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?
Então um homem d'ali respondeu, e disse: Pois quem é o pae d'elles? Pelo que se tornou em proverbio: Está tambem Saul entre os prophetas?
13 And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
E, acabando de prophetizar, veiu ao alto.
14 And Saul’s uncle said unto him and to his servant, Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses: and when we saw that they were not found, we came to Samuel.
E disse-lhe o tio de Saul, a elle e ao seu moço: Aonde fostes? E disse elle: A buscar as jumentas, e, vendo que não appareciam, viemos a Samuel.
15 And Saul’s uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you.
Então disse o tio de Saul: Declara-me, peço-te, que é o que vos disse Samuel?
16 And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But concerning the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spake, he told him not.
E disse Saul a seu tio: Declarou-nos, na verdade, que as jumentas se acharam. Porém o negocio do reino, de que Samuel fallara, lhe não declarou.
17 And Samuel called the people together unto the LORD to Mizpah;
Convocou pois Samuel o povo ao Senhor em Mispah.
18 and he said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the LORD, 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 Deus de Israel: Eu fiz subir a Israel do Egypto, e livrei-vos da mão dos egypcios e da mão de todos os reinos que vos opprimiam.
19 but ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saveth you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and ye have said unto him, [Nay], but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands.
Mas vós tendes rejeitado hoje a vosso Deus, que vos livrou de todos os vossos males e trabalhos, e lhe tendes dito: Põe um rei sobre nós: agora, pois, ponde-vos perante o Senhor, pelas vossas tribus e pelos vossos milhares.
20 So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
Fazendo pois chegar Samuel todas as tribus, tomou-se a tribu de Benjamin.
21 And he brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families, and the family of the Matrites was taken: and Saul the son of Kish was taken; but when they sought him, he could not be found.
E, fazendo chegar a tribu de Ben-jamin pelas suas familias, tomou-se a familia de Matri: e d'ella se tomou Saul, filho de Kis; e o buscaram, porém não se achou.
22 Therefore they asked of the LORD further, Is there yet a man to come hither? And the LORD answered, Behold, he hath hid himself among the stuff.
Então tornaram a perguntar ao Senhor se aquelle homem ainda viria ali. E disse o Senhor: Eis que se escondeu entre a bagagem.
23 And they ran and fetched him thence; and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
E correram, e o tomaram d'ali, e poz-se no meio do povo: e era mais alto do que todo o povo desde o hombro para cima.
24 And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the LORD hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king.
Então disse Samuel a todo o povo: Vêdes já a quem o Senhor tem elegido? pois em todo o povo não ha nenhum similhante a elle. Então jubilou todo o povo, e disseram: Viva o rei!
25 Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
E declarou Samuel ao povo o direito do reino, e escreveu-o n'um livro, e pôl-o perante o Senhor: então enviou Samuel a todo o povo, cada um para sua casa.
26 And Saul also went to his house to Gibeah; and there went with him the host, whose hearts God had touched.
E foi-se tambem Saul a sua casa, a Gibeah: e foram com elle do exercito aquelles cujos corações Deus tocara.
27 But certain sons of Belial said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no present. But he held his peace.
Mas os filhos de Belial disseram: É este o que nos ha de livrar? E o desprezaram, e não lhe trouxeram presentes: porém elle se fez como surdo.
