1 Samuel 15
1 [One day] Samuel said to Saul, “Yahweh sent me to appoint you to be the king of the Israeli people. So now listen to this message from Yahweh:
Samuel disse a Saul: “Javé me enviou para ungi-lo para ser rei sobre seu povo, sobre Israel”. Agora, portanto, escute a voz das palavras de Iavé.
2 Yahweh, [the commander] of the armies [of angels] has declared this: ‘I am going to punish [the descendants of] Amalek for [attacking] the Israeli people after the Israelis left Egypt.
Yahweh dos Exércitos diz: “Lembro-me do que Amalek fez a Israel, como se pôs contra ele no caminho quando saiu do Egito.
3 So now go [with your army] and attack the Amalek people-group. Destroy them completely—destroy them and everything that belongs to them—the men and women, their children and infants, their cattle and sheep and camels and donkeys. Do not (spare any of them/allow any of them to remain alive)!’”
Agora vá e golpeie Amalek, e destrua totalmente tudo o que eles têm, e não os poupe; mas mate tanto o homem quanto a mulher, bebê e lactante, boi e ovelha, camelo e burro””.
4 So Saul summoned the army, and they gathered at Telaim [town]. There were 200,000 soldiers. 10,000 of them were from Judah, [and the others were from the other Israeli tribes].
Saul convocou o povo, e os contou em Telaim, duzentos mil homens de pé e dez mil homens de Judá.
5 Then Saul went [with his army] to a town where some of the Amalek people-group lived. [His army prepared to attack them suddenly by] hiding in the valley.
Saul chegou à cidade de Amalek, e montou uma emboscada no vale.
6 Then Saul sent this message to the Ken people-group [who lived in that area]: “You acted kindly toward all our Israeli [ancestors] when they left Egypt. But we are going to kill all of the Amalek people-group, [because they opposed/attacked our ancestors]. So move away from where the Amalek people-group live. [If you do not move away], you will be killed when they are killed.” So [when] the Ken people-group [heard that, they immediately] left that area.
Saul disse aos quenitas: “Ide, parti, descei do meio dos amalequitas, para que eu não vos destrua com eles; pois vós mostrastes bondade para com todos os filhos de Israel quando eles subiram do Egito”. Assim, os quenitas partiram do meio dos amalequitas.
7 Then Saul’s [army] slaughtered the Amalek people-group, from Havilah [town in the east] to Shur [town in the west]. Shur was at the border [between Israel and] Egypt.
Saul atingiu os amalequitas, de Havilah enquanto você vai para Shur, que está antes do Egito.
8 Saul’s army captured Agag, the king of the Amalek people-group, but they killed everyone else.
Ele tomou vivo Agag, o rei dos amalequitas, e destruiu completamente todo o povo com o fio da espada.
9 They not only (spared/did not kill) Agag, but they also took the best sheep and goats and cattle. They took everything that was good. They destroyed only the animals that they considered to be worthless.
Mas Saul e o povo pouparam Agag e o melhor das ovelhas, do gado, dos bezerros gordos, dos cordeiros, e tudo o que era bom, e não estavam dispostos a destruí-los totalmente; mas tudo o que era vil e recusado, que eles destruíram totalmente.
10 Then Yahweh said to Samuel,
Então a palavra de Javé veio a Samuel, dizendo:
11 “I am sorry that I appointed Saul to be your king, because he has turned away from me and has not obeyed what I commanded him to do.” Samuel was very disturbed/upset [when he heard that], and he cried out to Yahweh all that night.
“Entristece-me o fato de eu ter criado Saul para ser rei, pois ele deixou de me seguir, e não cumpriu meus mandamentos”. Samuel ficou furioso; e chorou a Javé a noite toda.
12 Early the next morning, Samuel got up and went to talk with Saul. But someone told Samuel, “Saul went to Camel [city], where he has set up a monument to honor himself. Now he has left there and gone down to Gilgal.”
Samuel levantou-se cedo para encontrar-se com Saul pela manhã; e Samuel foi informado, dizendo: “Saul veio ao Carmelo, e eis que ergueu um monumento para si mesmo, virou-se, passou adiante, e desceu a Gilgal”.
13 When Samuel arrived [at Gilgal] he approached Saul, and Saul said to him, “I wish/desire that Yahweh will bless you! I have obeyed what Yahweh told me to do.”
Samuel veio a Saul; e Saul lhe disse: “Você é abençoado por Javé! Eu cumpri o mandamento de Yahweh”.
14 But Samuel replied, “If that is true, why is it that I hear cattle mooing and I hear sheep bleating?”
Samuel disse: “Então, o que significa este sangramento das ovelhas nos meus ouvidos e o rebaixamento do gado que ouço dizer”?
15 Saul replied, “The soldiers took them from the Amalek people-group. They saved the best sheep and cattle, in order to offer them as sacrifices to Yahweh, your God. But we have completely destroyed all the others.”
Saul disse: “Eles os trouxeram dos amalequitas; pois o povo poupou o melhor das ovelhas e do gado, para sacrificar a Javé seu Deus”. Nós destruímos totalmente o resto”.
16 Samuel said to Saul, “Stop [talking]! Allow me to tell you what Yahweh said to me last night.” Saul replied, “Tell me [what he said].”
Então Samuel disse a Saul: “Fique, e eu lhe direi o que Javé me disse ontem à noite”. Ele disse a ele: “Diga”.
17 Samuel said, “Previously you did not think that you were important. But now you have become [RHQ] the leader of the tribes of Israel. Yahweh appointed you to be their king.
Samuel disse: “Embora você fosse pequeno à sua própria vista, você não foi nomeado chefe das tribos de Israel? Javé te ungiu rei sobre Israel;
18 And Yahweh sent you to do something [for him]. He said to you, ‘Go and get rid of all those sinful people, the Amalek people-group. Attack them and kill all of them.’
e Javé te enviou numa viagem, e disse: “Vai, e destrói totalmente os pecadores amalequitas, e luta contra eles até que sejam consumidos”.
19 So why did you not obey Yahweh [RHQ]? Why did your men take the best animals [RHQ]? Why did you do what Yahweh said was evil?” [RHQ]
Por que então não obedecestes à voz de Iavé, mas levastes o saque, e fizestes o que era mau aos olhos de Iavé”?
20 Saul replied to Samuel, “Hey, I did what Yahweh sent me to do! I brought back King Agag, but we killed everyone else!
Saul disse a Samuel: “Mas eu obedeci à voz de Javé, e segui o caminho que Javé me enviou, e trouxe Agag, o rei de Amalek, e destruiu totalmente os amalequitas.
21 My men brought back only the best sheep and cattle and other things, in order to sacrifice them to Yahweh your God here at Gilgal.”
Mas o povo tomou do saque, ovelhas e gado, o melhor das coisas dedicadas, para sacrificar a Javé seu Deus em Gilgal”.
22 But Samuel replied, “Which [do you think] pleases Yahweh more, animals that are completely burned [on the altar] and other sacrifices, or people obeying him [SYN]? It is better to obey [Yahweh] than [to offer] sacrifices [to him]. It is better to pay attention to what he says than [to burn] the fat of rams, [even though God said they should be sacrificed to him].
Samuel disse: “Yahweh tem tanto prazer em ofertas queimadas e sacrifícios, como em obedecer à voz de Yahweh? Eis que obedecer é melhor do que sacrificar, e ouvir do que a gordura dos carneiros.
23 To rebel [against God] is as sinful as doing sorcery/black magic, and being stubborn is as sinful as worshiping idols. So, because you disobeyed what Yahweh told you to do, he has declared that you will no longer be king.”
Pois a rebelião é como o pecado da bruxaria, e a teimosia é como a idolatria e o teraphim. Porque rejeitaste a palavra de Javé, ele também te rejeitou de ser rei”.
24 Then Saul said to Samuel, “[Yes], I have sinned. I disobeyed what you told me to do, which is what Yahweh commanded. I did that because I was (afraid of/worried about) what my men would say [if I did not do what they wanted]. So I did what they demanded.
Saul disse a Samuel: “Pequei, pois transgredi o mandamento de Javé e suas palavras, porque temi o povo e obedeci à sua voz.
25 But now, please forgive me for having sinned. And come back with me [to where the people are] in order that I may worship Yahweh.”
Agora, portanto, por favor, perdoem meu pecado, e voltem-se comigo, para que eu possa adorar a Iavé”.
26 But Samuel replied, “No, I will not go back with you. You have rejected/disobeyed what Yahweh commanded you to do. So he has rejected you, [and declared that you will no longer] be the king of Israel. [So I do not want to talk any more with you].”
Samuel disse a Saul: “Não voltarei contigo; pois rejeitaste a palavra de Javé, e Javé te rejeitou de ser rei sobre Israel”.
27 As Samuel turned to leave, Saul tried to stop him by grabbing the edge of Samuel’s robe, and it tore.
Quando Samuel se virou para ir embora, Saul agarrou a saia de seu manto, e ela se rasgou.
28 Samuel said to him, “[You tore my robe! And] today Yahweh has torn away from you the kingdom of Israel! He will appoint someone else to be king, someone who is a better man than you are.
Samuel lhe disse: “Javé arrancou de você hoje o reino de Israel e o deu a um vizinho seu que é melhor do que você”.
29 And since the one who is the glorious [God] of the Israeli people does not lie, he will not change (his mind/what he has said). Humans sometimes change their minds, but God does not do that, because he is not a human.”
Também a força de Israel não mentirá nem se arrependerá; pois ele não é um homem, para que se arrependa”.
30 Then Saul [pleaded again. He] said, “I know that I have sinned. But please honor me in front of the leaders of the Israeli people and in front of all the other Israeli people by coming back [to them] with me in order that I may worship Yahweh your God.”
Então ele disse: “Eu pequei; mas por favor, honre-me agora diante dos anciãos do meu povo e diante de Israel, e volte comigo, para que eu possa adorar a Javé, seu Deus”.
31 So Samuel finally agreed to do that, and they went together back [to where the people were], and Saul worshiped Yahweh there.
Então Samuel voltou com Saul; e Saul adorava Yahweh.
32 Then Samuel said, “Bring King Agag to me.” So they brought Agag to him. Agag was confidently expecting that they would spare him/not kill him. He was thinking, “Surely I will not have to endure an agonizing death!”
Então Samuel disse: “Traga Agag o rei dos amalequitas aqui para mim”! Agag veio até ele alegremente. Agag disse: “Certamente, a amargura da morte já passou”.
33 But Samuel said to him, “You have killed the sons of many women with your sword, so now your mother will no longer have a son.” And Samuel cut Agag into pieces [with his sword], there at Gilgal, in the presence of Yahweh.
Samuel disse: “Como sua espada tornou as mulheres sem filhos, assim sua mãe será sem filhos entre as mulheres”! Então Samuel cortou Agag em pedaços antes de Yahweh em Gilgal.
34 Then Samuel left there and returned to his home in Ramah, and Saul went to his home in Gibeah.
Então Samuel foi para Ramah; e Saul subiu para sua casa em Gibeah de Saul.
35 Samuel never saw Saul again, but he was very sad about [what] Saul [had done]. And Yahweh was very sorry that he had appointed Saul to be the king of Israel.
Samuel não veio mais para ver Saul até o dia de sua morte, mas Samuel lamentou por Saul. Iavé lamentou ter feito Saul rei sobre Israel.
