1 Samuel 16

1 Então disse o Senhor a Samuel: Até quando terás dó de Saul, havendo-o eu rejeitado, para que não reine sobre Israel? enche o teu vaso d'azeite, e vem, enviar-te-hei a Jessé o beth-lehemita; porque d'entre os seus filhos me tenho provido de um rei.

And YHWH says to Samuel, “Until when are you mourning for Saul, and I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go, I send you to Jesse the Beth-Lehemite, for I have seen among his sons a king for Myself.”

2 Porém disse Samuel: Como irei eu? pois, ouvindo-o Saul, me matará. Então disse o Senhor: Toma uma bezerra das vaccas em tuas mãos, e dize: Vim para sacrificar ao Senhor.

And Samuel says, “How do I go? When Saul has heard, then he has slain me.” And YHWH says, “You take a heifer of the herd in your hand, and have said, I have come to sacrifice to YHWH;

3 E convidarás a Jessé ao sacrificio: e eu te farei saber o que has de fazer, e ungir-me-has a quem eu te disser.

and you have called for Jesse in the sacrifice, and I cause you to know that which you do, and you have anointed for Me him of whom I speak to you.”

4 Fez pois Samuel o que dissera o Senhor, e veiu a Beth-lehem: então os anciãos da cidade sairam ao encontro, tremendo, e disseram: De paz é a tua vinda?

And Samuel does that which YHWH has spoken, and comes to Beth-Lehem, and [the] elderly of the city tremble to meet him, and [one] says, “Is your coming peace?”

5 E disse elle: É de paz, vim sacrificar ao Senhor; sanctificae-vos, e vinde comigo ao sacrificio. E sanctificou elle a Jessé e a seus filhos, e os convidou ao sacrificio.

And he says, “Peace; I have come to sacrifice to YHWH, sanctify yourselves, and you have come in with me to the sacrifice”; and he sanctifies Jesse and his sons, and calls them to the sacrifice.

6 E succedeu que, entrando elles, viu a Eliah, e disse: Certamente está perante o Senhor o seu ungido.

And it comes to pass, in their coming in, that he sees Eliab and says, “Surely His anointed [is] here before YHWH.”

7 Porém o Senhor disse a Samuel: Não attentes para a sua apparencia, nem para a altura da sua estatura, porque o tenho rejeitado, porque o Senhor não vê como vê o homem, pois o homem vê o que está diante dos olhos, porém o Senhor olha para o coração

And YHWH says to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance, and at the height of his stature, for I have rejected him; for [it is] not as man sees—for man looks at the eyes, and YHWH looks at the heart.”

8 Então chamou Jessé a Abinadab: e o fez passar diante de Samuel, o qual disse: Nem a este tem escolhido o Senhor.

And Jesse calls to Abinadab, and causes him to pass by before Samuel; and he says, “Indeed, YHWH has not fixed on this [one].”

9 Então Jessé fez passar a Samma: porém disse: Tão pouco a este tem escolhido o Senhor.

And Jesse causes Shammah to pass by, and he says, “Indeed, YHWH has not fixed on this [one].”

10 Assim fez passar Jessé a seus sete filhos diante de Samuel: porém Samuel disse a Jessé: O Senhor não tem escolhido a estes.

And Jesse causes seven of his sons to pass by before Samuel, and Samuel says to Jesse, “YHWH has not fixed on these.”

11 Disse mais Samuel a Jessé: Acabaram-se os mancebos? E disse: Ainda falta o menor, e eis que apascenta as ovelhas. Disse pois Samuel a Jessé: Envia, e manda-o chamar, porquanto não nos assentaremos em roda da mesa até que elle venha aqui.

And Samuel says to Jesse, “Are the young men finished?” And he says, “Yet the youngest has been left; and behold, he delights himself among the flock”; and Samuel says to Jesse, “Send and take him, for we do not turn around until his coming in here.”

12 Então mandou, e o trouxe (e era ruivo e formoso de semblante e de boa presença): e disse o Senhor: Levanta-te, e unge-o, porque este mesmo é

And he sends, and brings him in, and he [is] ruddy, with beautiful eyes, and of good appearance; and YHWH says, “Rise, anoint him, for this [is] he.”

13 Então Samuel tomou o vaso do azeite, e ungiu-o no meio de seus irmãos; e desde aquelle dia em diante o espirito do Senhor se apoderou de David: então Samuel se levantou, e se tornou a Rama.

And Samuel takes the horn of oil, and anoints him in the midst of his brothers, and the Spirit of YHWH prospers over David from that day and onward; and Samuel rises and goes to Ramath.

14 E o espirito do Senhor se retirou de Saul, e o assombrava o espirito mau da parte do Senhor.

And the Spirit of YHWH turned aside from Saul, and a spirit of sadness from YHWH terrified him;

15 Então os creados de Saul lhe disseram: Eis que agora o espirito mau da parte do Senhor te assombra:

and the servants of Saul say to him, “Now behold, a spirit of sadness [from] God is terrifying you;

16 Diga pois nosso senhor a seus servos, que estão em tua presença, que busquem um homem que saiba tocar harpa, e será que, quando o espirito mau da parte do Senhor vier sobre ti, então elle tocará com a sua mão, e te acharás melhor

now let our lord command your servants before you [that] they seek a skillful man playing on a harp, and it has come to pass, in the spirit of sadness [from] God being on you, that he has played with his hand and [it is] well with you.”

17 Então disse Saul aos seus servos: Buscae-me pois um homem que toque bem, e trazei-m'o.

And Saul says to his servants, “Now provide for me a man playing well—then you have brought [him] to me.”

18 Então respondeu um dos mancebos, e disse: Eis que tenho visto a um filho de Jessé, o beth-lehemita, que sabe tocar, e é valente e animoso, e homem de guerra, e sisudo em palavras, e de gentil presença: o Senhor é com elle

And one of the servants answers and says, “Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Beth-Lehemite, skillful in playing, and a mighty, virtuous man, and a man of battle, and intelligent in word, and a man of form, and YHWH [is] with him.”

19 E Saul enviou mensageiros a Jessé, dizendo: Envia-me David, teu filho, o que está com as ovelhas.

And Saul sends messengers to Jesse and says, “Send to me your son David, who [is] with the flock.”

20 Então tomou Jessé um jumento carregado de pão, e um odre de vinho, e um cabrito, e enviou-os a Saul pela mão de David, seu filho.

And Jesse takes a donkey, bread, and a bottle of wine, and one kid of the goats, and sends [them] by the hand of his son David to Saul.

21 Assim David veiu a Saul, e esteve perante elle, e o amou muito, e foi seu pagem d'armas.

And David comes to Saul, and stands before him, and he loves him greatly; and he is a bearer of his weapons.

22 Então Saul mandou dizer a Jessé: Deixa estar a David perante mim, pois achou graça em meus olhos.

And Saul sends to Jesse, saying, “Please let David stand before me, for he has found grace in my eyes.”

23 E succedia que, quando o espirito mau da parte de Deus vinha sobre Saul, David tomava a harpa, e a tocava com a sua mão; então Saul sentia allivio, e se achava melhor, e o espirito mau se retirava d'elle.

And it has come to pass, in the spirit of [sadness from] God being on Saul, that David has taken the harp, and played with his hand, and Saul has refreshment and gladness, and the spirit of sadness has turned aside from off him.
