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 a flask of olive oil and poured it over Saul's head, and kissed him, saying, “The Lord has anointed you as ruler of his chosen people.
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 leave me today, you will meet two men near Rachel's tomb in Zelzah, on the border of Benjamin. They will tell you that the donkeys you went to look for have been found. Now your father isn't concerned about them but is worried about you. He's wondering, ‘What about 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.
You will leave there and go on to the oak at Tabor where you will meet three men on their way to worship God at Bethel. One will be carrying three young goats, one will be carrying three loaves of bread, and one will be carrying a skin 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 should take.
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.
Next you will come to Gibeah of God, where the Philistines have a garrison. As you come into town, you will meet a procession of prophets coming down from the high place led by harps, tambourines, flutes, and lyres, 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.
The Spirit of the Lord will come on you with power. You will prophesy with them, and you will become a different man.
7 E ha de ser que, quando estes signaes te vierem, faze o que achar a tua mão, porque Deus é comtigo.
After these signs have happened, do what you need to do, 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.
Then go ahead of me to Gilgal. I assure you I will come and join you to present burnt offerings and friendship offerings. Wait there seven days until I come to you, and let you know what you should 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.
The moment Saul turned to leave Samuel, God gave Saul a different way of thinking, and all the signs were fulfilled 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 Saul and his servant arrived in Gibeah, there was a procession of prophets coming out to meet them, the Spirit of God came on Saul with power, and he also started to prophesy with 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?
Everyone who had used to know Saul and saw him prophesying with the prophets said to each other, “What's going on with the son of Kish? Is Saul one of the prophets too?”
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?
A man living there responded, “But who is their father?” So it became a saying: “Is Saul one of the prophets too?”
13 E, acabando de prophetizar, veiu ao alto.
After Saul had finished prophesying, he went 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 asked Saul and his servant, “Where have you been?” “We were looking for the donkeys,” Saul replied. “When we couldn't find them we went to Samuel.”
15 Então disse o tio de Saul: Declara-me, peço-te, que é o que vos disse Samuel?
“Please tell me what he said to you,” Saul's uncle asked.
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.
“He promised us the donkeys had been found,” Saul replied. But Saul didn't tell his uncle what Samuel had said about him becoming king.
17 Convocou pois Samuel o povo ao Senhor em Mispah.
Samuel called the people of Israel to come before the Lord at 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.
He told the Israelites, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I led Israel out of Egypt, and I saved you from the Egyptians and from all the kingdoms that were oppressing 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 now you have rejected your God, the one who saves you from all your troubles and disasters. You told him, ‘You must appoint a king to rule us.’ So now present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes and family groups.”
20 Fazendo pois chegar Samuel todas as tribus, tomou-se a tribu de Benjamin.
Samuel had all Israel come forward by tribes, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen by lot.
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.
Then he had the tribe of Benjamin come forward by its family groups, and the family group of Matri was chosen. Lastly, Saul, son of Kish, was chosen. But when they looked for him, he couldn't 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.
So they asked the Lord, “Has he arrived here yet?” The Lord replied, “Go and look—he's hiding 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 brought Saul over. When he stood among the people, he was head and shoulders taller than anyone else.
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 everyone, “Can you see the one the Lord has chosen? There's no one like him anywhere!” All the people shouted, “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 explained to the people all that a king would do. He wrote it down on a scroll and placed it before the Lord. Then Samuel sent everyone home.
26 E foi-se tambem Saul a sua casa, a Gibeah: e foram com elle do exercito aquelles cujos corações Deus tocara.
Saul also returned to his home in Gibeah, accompanied by warriors who God had encouraged to help him.
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 some obnoxious men asked, “How could this man save us?” They hated him and didn't bring him any gifts; but Saul did not retaliate.
