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?
And Samuel took a flask of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Behold, it is because the Lord hath anointed thee over his inheritance as chief.
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 goest this day away from me, thou wilt find two men who are now by Rachel's sepulchre, on the boundary of Benjamin at Zelzach; and they will say unto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath given up the matter of the asses, 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 shalt thou go on forward from there, and thou shalt come as far as the grove of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Beth-el, 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 ask thee after thy welfare, and give thee two loaves of bread, which thou must take 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 shalt thou come to the hill of God, where the outposts of the Philistines are; and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou wilt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high-place, having before them a psaltery, and a tambourine, and a pipe, and a harp; 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 the Lord will suddenly come over thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and thou shalt be changed 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 it shall be, that, when these signs are come unto thee, then do thou what thy hand may be able to effect; 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 shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down unto thee, to offer burnt-offerings, [and] to sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings: seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come to thee, and then will I tell thee what thou shalt 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 happened, that, as he turned his back to go away from Samuel, God changed his heart into another; and all these signs came to pass on that same 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 thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came suddenly over him, and he prophesied in the midst of 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 that knew him before saw, that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then said the people one to another, What is this that hath happened 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 one of that 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 unto him and to his servant, Whither were ye gone? And he said, To seek the asses; and when we saw that they were nowhere, we went 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, Do tell me, I pray thee, what did Samuel say unto 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 unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses had been found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel had spoken, he told him not.
17 Convocou pois Samuel o povo ao Senhor em Mispah.
And Samuel called the people together unto the Lord 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 unto the children of Israel, Thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, I brought up Israel from Egypt, and 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.
And ye for your part have this day rejected your God, he who hath saved you out of all your misfortunes and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him, Nevertheless, thou must set a king over us: and now present yourselves before the Lord according to your tribes, and according to your thousands.
20 Fazendo pois chegar Samuel todas as tribos, tomou-se a tribo de Benjamin.
And Samuel caused all the tribes of Israel to come near; and the tribe of Benjamin was seized.
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 caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near according to its families, and the family of Matri was seized, and then was seized Saul the son of Kish: and they sought him, but 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.
And they inquired again of the Lord, Is the man yet come hither? And the Lord said, Behold, he hath hidden himself among the vessels.
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 thence, and he placed himself erect in the midst of the people, and 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, Have ye seen him whom the Lord hath made choice of, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, Long live the 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 did Samuel speak to the people the rights of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it down before the Lord. And Samuel sent away all the people, 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 home to Gib'ah; and there went with him a large crowd, whose heart 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 the worthless men said, In what can this help us? And they despised him, and brought him no present. But he acted as though he were deaf.
