1 Samuel 8
1 E succedeu que, tendo Samuel envelhecido, constituiu a seus filhos por juizes sobre Israel.
When Samuel was old, he made his sons judges over Israel.
2 E era o nome do seu filho primogenito Joel, e o nome do seu segundo Abia: e foram juizes em Berseba.
Now the name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah. They were judges in Beersheba.
3 Porém seus filhos não andaram pelos caminhos d'elle, antes se inclinaram á avareza, e tomaram presentes, e perverteram o juizo.
His sons didn’t walk in his ways, but turned away after dishonest gain, took bribes, and perverted justice.
4 Então todos os anciãos de Israel se congregaram, e vieram a Samuel, a Rama,
Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together and came to Samuel to Ramah.
5 E disseram-lhe: Eis que já estás velho, e teus filhos não andam pelos teus caminhos; constitue-nos pois agora um rei sobre nós, para que elle nos julgue, como o teem todas as nações.
They said to him, “Behold, you are old, and your sons don’t walk in your ways. Now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.”
6 Porém esta palavra pareceu mal aos olhos de Samuel, quando disseram: Dá-nos um rei, para que nos julgue. E Samuel orou ao Senhor.
But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” Samuel prayed to the LORD.
7 E disse o Senhor a Samuel: Ouve a voz do povo em tudo quanto te disserem, pois não te teem rejeitado a ti, antes a mim me teem rejeitado para eu não reinar sobre elles.
The LORD said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people in all that they tell you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me as the king over them.
8 Conforme a todas as obras que fizeram desde o dia em que os tirei do Egypto até ao dia de hoje, e a mim me deixaram, e a outros deuses serviram, assim tambem te fizeram a ti.
According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even to this day, in that they have forsaken me and served other gods, so they also do to you.
9 Agora, pois, ouve a sua voz, porém protesta-lhes solemnemente, e declara-lhes qual será o costume do rei que houver de reinar sobre elles.
Now therefore, listen to their voice. However, you shall protest solemnly to them, and shall show them the way of the king who will reign over them.”
10 E fallou Samuel todas as palavras do Senhor ao povo, que lhe pedia um rei.
Samuel told all the LORD’s words to the people who asked him for a king.
11 E disse: Este será o costume do rei que houver de reinar sobre vós: elle tomará os vossos filhos, e os empregará para os seus carros, e para seus cavalleiros, para que corram adiante dos seus carros.
He said, “This will be the way of the king who shall reign over you: he will take your sons and appoint them as his servants, for his chariots and to be his horsemen; and they will run before his chariots.
12 E os porá por principes de milhares e por cincoentenarios; e para que lavrem a sua lavoura, e seguem a sua sega, e façam as suas armas de guerra e os petrechos de seus carros.
He will appoint them to him for captains of thousands and captains of fifties; and he will assign some to plow his ground and to reap his harvest; and to make his instruments of war and the instruments of his chariots.
13 E tomará as vossas filhas para perfumistas, cozinheiras, e padeiras.
He will take your daughters to be perfumers, to be cooks, and to be bakers.
14 E tomará o melhor das vossas terras, e das vossas vinhas, e dos vossos olivaes, e os dará aos seus creados.
He will take your fields, your vineyards, and your olive groves, even your best, and give them to his servants.
15 E as vossas, sementes, e as vossas vinhas dizimará, para dar aos seus eunuchos, e aos seus creados.
He will take one tenth of your seed and of your vineyards, and give it to his officers and to his servants.
16 Tambem os vossos creados, e as vossas creadas, e os vossos melhores mancebos, e os vossos jumentos tomará, e os empregará no seu trabalho.
He will take your male servants, your female servants, your best young men, and your donkeys, and assign them to his own work.
17 Dizimará o vosso rebanho, e vós lhe servireis de creados.
He will take one tenth of your flocks; and you will be his servants.
18 Então n'aquelle dia clamareis por causa do vosso rei, que vós houverdes escolhido; mas o Senhor não vos ouvirá n'aquelle dia
You will cry out in that day because of your king whom you will have chosen for yourselves; and the LORD will not answer you in that day.”
19 Porém o povo não quiz ouvir a voz de Samuel; e disseram: Não, mas haverá sobre nós um rei.
But the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel; and they said, “No, but we will have a king over us,
20 E nós tambem seremos como todas as outras nações; e o nosso rei nos julgará, e sairá adiante de nós, e fará as nossas guerras.
that we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.”
21 Ouvindo pois Samuel todas as palavras do povo, as fallou perante os ouvidos do Senhor.
Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.
22 Então o Senhor disse a Samuel: Dá ouvidos á sua voz, e constitue-lhes rei. Então Samuel disse aos filhos de Israel: Vá-se cada qual á sua cidade.
The LORD said to Samuel, “Listen to their voice, and make them a king.” Samuel said to the men of Israel, “Everyone go to your own city.”
