1 Samuel 10
1 Então tomou Samuel um vaso de azeite, e lho 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 upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not that Jehovah has anointed thee to be prince over his inheritance?
2 Partindo-te hoje de mim, acharás dois homens junto ao sepulcro de Rachel, no termo de Benjamin, em Zelsah, os quais te dirão: Acharam-se as jumentas que foste buscar, e eis que já o teu pai deixou o negócio das jumentas, e anda aflito por causa de vós, dizendo: Que farei eu por meu filho?
When thou are departed from me today, then thou shall find two men by Rachel's sepulcher in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah. And they will say to thee, The donkeys which thou went to seek are found, and, lo, thy father has left off caring for the donkeys, and is anxious for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
3 E quando dali passares mais adiante, e chegares ao carvalho de Tabor, ali te encontrarão três homens, que vão subindo a Deus a bethel: um levando três cabritos, o outro três bolos de pão, e o outro um odre de vinho.
Then thou shall go on forward from there, and thou shall come to the oak of Tabor. And there shall meet thee there three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine.
4 E te perguntarão como estás, e te darão dois pães, que tomarás da sua mão.
And they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread, which thou shall receive from their hand.
5 Então virás ao outeiro de Deus, onde está a guarnição dos philisteus; e há de ser que, entrando ali na cidade, encontrarás um rancho de profetas que descem do alto, e trazem diante de si saltérios, e tambores, e flautas, e harpas; e profetizarão.
After that thou shall come to the hill of God where is the garrison of the Philistines. And it shall come to pass, when thou have come there to the city, that thou shall meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a timbrel, and a pipe, and a harp, before them, and they will be prophesying.
6 E o espírito do Senhor se apoderará de ti, e profetizarás com eles, e te mudarás em outro homem.
And the Spirit of Jehovah will come mightily upon thee, and thou shall prophesy with them, and shall be turned into another man.
7 E há de ser que, quando estes sinais te vierem, faze o que achar a tua mão, porque Deus é contigo.
And let it be, when these signs have come to thee, that thou do as occasion shall serve thee, for God is with thee.
8 Tu porém descerás diante de mim a Gilgal, e eis que eu descerei a ti, para sacrificar holocaustos, e para oferecer ofertas pacíficas: ali sete dias esperarás, até que eu venha a ti, e te declare o que as de fazer.
And thou shall go down before me to Gilgal. And, behold, I will come down to thee, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings. Thou shall tarry seven days till I come to thee, and show thee what thou shall do.
9 Sucedeu pois que, virando ele as costas para partir de Samuel, Deus lhe mudou o coração em outro: e todos aqueles sinais aconteceram aquele mesmo dia.
And it was so, that, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart. And all those signs came to pass that day.
10 E, chegando eles ao outeiro, eis que um rancho de profetas lhes saiu ao encontro: e o espírito do Senhor se apoderou dele, e profetizou no meio deles.
And when they came there to the hill, behold, a band of prophets met him. And the Spirit of God came mightily upon him, and he prophesied among them.
11 E aconteceu que, como todos os que de antes o conheciam viram que eis que com os profetas profetizava, então disse o povo, cada qual ao seu companheiro: Que é o que sucedeu ao filho de Kis? Está também Saul entre os profetas?
And it came to pass, when all who knew him formerly saw, that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that has come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?
12 Então um homem dali respondeu, e disse: Pois quem é o pai deles? Pelo que se tornou em provérbio: Está também Saul entre os profetas?
And a man from the same place answered and said, And who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?
13 E, acabando de profetizar, veio ao alto.
And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
14 E disse-lhe o tio de Saul, a ele e ao seu moço: Aonde fostes? E disse ele: A buscar as jumentas, e, vendo que não apareciam, viemos a Samuel.
And Saul's uncle said to him and to his servant, Where did ye go? And he said, To seek the donkeys, and 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?
And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said to you.
16 E disse Saul a seu tio: Declarou-nos, na verdade, que as jumentas se acharam. Porém o negócio do reino, de que Samuel falara, lhe não declarou.
And 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.
And Samuel called the people together to Jehovah to Mizpah.
18 E disse aos filhos de Israel: Assim disse o Senhor Deus de Israel: Eu fiz subir a Israel do Egito, e livrei-vos da mão dos egípcios e da mão de todos os reinos que vos oprimiam.
And he said to the sons of Israel, Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, I brought up Israel 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 tribos e pelos vossos milhares.
but ye have this day rejected your God who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses, and ye have said to him, No, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before Jehovah by your tribes, and by your thousands.
20 Fazendo pois chegar Samuel todas as tribos, tomou-se a tribo de Benjamin.
So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
21 E, fazendo chegar a tribo de Ben-jamin pelas suas famílias, tomou-se a família de Matri: e dela se tomou Saul, filho de Kis; e o buscaram, porém não se achou.
And he brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families, and the family of the Matrites was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken. But when they sought him, he could not be found.
22 Então tornaram a perguntar ao Senhor se aquele homem ainda viria ali. E disse o Senhor: Eis que se escondeu entre a bagagem.
Therefore they asked of Jehovah further, Is there yet a man to come here? And Jehovah answered, Behold, he has hid himself among the baggage.
23 E correram, e o tomaram dali, e pôs-se no meio do povo: e era mais alto do que todo o povo desde o ombro para cima.
And they ran and fetched him from there. And 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 há nenhum semelhante a ele. Então jubilou todo o povo, e disseram: Viva o rei!
And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom Jehovah has chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, Live, O king!
25 E declarou Samuel ao povo o direito do reino, e escreveu-o num livro, e pô-lo perante o Senhor: então enviou Samuel a todo o povo, cada um para sua casa.
Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before Jehovah. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
26 E foi-se também Saul a sua casa, a Gibeah: e foram com ele do exército aqueles cujos corações Deus tocara.
And Saul also went to his house to Gibeah, and mighty men went with him, whose hearts God had touched.
27 Mas os filhos de Belial disseram: É este o que nos há de livrar? E o desprezaram, e não lhe trouxeram presentes: porém ele se fez como surdo.
But certain worthless fellows said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no present. But he held his peace.
