< 1 Samuel 10 >

1 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?
Then Samuel took the vial of oil and poured it on his head, then kissed him and said, “Has not the LORD anointed you to be prince over his inheritance?
2 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?
When you have departed from me today, then you will find two men by Rachel’s tomb, on the border of Benjamin at Zelzah. They will tell you, ‘The donkeys which you went to look for have been found; and behold, your father has stopped caring about the donkeys and is anxious for you, saying, “What shall I do for my son?”’
3 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.
“Then you will go on forward from there, and you will come to the oak of Tabor. Three men will meet you there going up to God to Bethel: one carrying three young goats, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a container of wine.
4 E te perguntarão como estás, e te darão dois pães, que tomarás da sua mão.
They will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you shall receive from their hand.
5 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.
“After that you will come to the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is; and it will happen, when you have come there to the city, that you will meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a lute, a tambourine, a pipe, and a harp before them; and they will be prophesying.
6 E o espirito do Senhor se apoderará de ti, e prophetizarás com elles, e te mudarás em outro homem.
Then the LORD’s Spirit will come mightily on you, then you will prophesy with them and will be turned into another man.
7 E ha de ser que, quando estes signaes te vierem, faze o que achar a tua mão, porque Deus é comtigo.
Let it be, when these signs have come to you, that you do what is appropriate for the occasion; for God is with you.
8 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.
“Go down ahead of me to Gilgal; and behold, I will come down to you to offer burnt offerings and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings. Wait seven days, until I come to you and show you what you are to do.”
9 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.
It was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart; and all those signs happened that day.
10 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.
When they came there to the hill, behold, a band of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came mightily on him, and he prophesied among them.
11 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?
When all who knew him before saw that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said to one another, “What is this that has come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”
12 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?
One from the same place answered, “Who is their father?” Therefore it became a proverb, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
13 E, acabando de prophetizar, veiu ao alto.
When he had finished prophesying, he came to the high place.
14 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.
Saul’s uncle said to him and to his servant, “Where did you go?” He said, “To seek the donkeys. When we saw that they were not found, we came to Samuel.”
15 Então disse o tio de Saul: Declara-me, peço-te, que é o que vos disse Samuel?
Saul’s uncle said, “Please tell me what Samuel said to you.”
16 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.
Saul said to his uncle, “He told us plainly that the donkeys were found.” But concerning the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel spoke, he did not tell him.
17 Convocou pois Samuel o povo ao Senhor em Mispah.
Samuel called the people together to the LORD to Mizpah;
18 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.
and he said to the children of Israel, “The LORD, the God of Israel, says ‘I brought Israel up 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.’
19 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.
But you have today rejected your God, who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said to him, ‘No! Set a king over us!’ Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes and by your thousands.”
20 Fazendo pois chegar Samuel todas as tribus, tomou-se a tribu de Benjamin.
So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen.
21 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.
He brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families and the family of the Matrites was chosen. Then Saul the son of Kish was chosen; but when they looked for him, he could not be found.
22 Então tornaram a perguntar ao Senhor se aquelle homem ainda viria ali. E disse o Senhor: Eis que se escondeu entre a bagagem.
Therefore they asked of the LORD further, “Is there yet a man to come here?” The LORD answered, “Behold, he has hidden himself among the baggage.”
23 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.
They ran and got him there. When he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
24 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!
Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see him whom the LORD has chosen, that there is no one like him among all the people?” All the people shouted and said, “Long live the king!”
25 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.
Then Samuel told the people the regulations of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book and laid it up before the LORD. Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
26 E foi-se tambem Saul a sua casa, a Gibeah: e foram com elle do exercito aquelles cujos corações Deus tocara.
Saul also went to his house in Gibeah; and the army went with him, whose hearts God had touched.
27 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.
But certain worthless fellows said, “How could this man save us?” They despised him, and brought him no tribute. But he held his peace.
