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 on his head, and kissed him, and said, "Has not the LORD anointed you to be ruler over his people Israel? And you shall rule over the people of the LORD, and you shall save them out of the hand of their enemies all around. And this shall be the sign to you that the LORD has anointed you to be ruler 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 you have departed from me today, then you shall find two men by Rachel's tomb, in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will tell you, 'The donkeys which you went to seek have been found; and look, your father has stopped caring about the donkeys, and is anxious for you, saying, "What shall I do about 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 you will go on further from there and you will come to the oak of Tabor, and three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you. One will be carrying three young goats, and another carrying three containers of bread, and another carrying a container of wine.
4 E te perguntarão como estás, e te darão dois pães, que tomarás da sua mão.
And they will greet you and give you two wave offerings of bread, which you shall accept 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 you shall come to Gibeath Elohim, where the Philistine garrison is. And it shall happen, when you have come there to the city, that you shall meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with harps, and tambourines, and flutes, and lyres 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 the LORD will come mightily on you, and you shall prophesy with them, and shall be transformed into a different person.
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 you, that you do as the occasion demands, 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 oferecer ofertas pacíficas: ali sete dias esperarás, até que eu venha a ti, e te declare o que as de fazer.
You shall go down before me to Gilgal; and look, I will come down to you, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: you shall wait seven days, until I come to you, and show you what you 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.
When he had turned his back to leave Samuel, God changed his heart, and all these 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 he went from there to Gibeah, and look, a band of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came mightily on 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?
It happened, when all who knew him before saw that, look, 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?
One of the same place answered, "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 finished prophesying, and went home,
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.
then his uncle said to him and to his servant, "Where did you go?" And he said, "To seek the donkeys. When we saw that they were not found, we went to Samuel."
15 Então disse o tio de Saul: Declara-me, peço-te, que é o que vos disse Samuel?
Saul's uncle said, "Please tell me 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.
Saul said to his uncle, "He told us plainly that the donkeys were found." But concerning the matter of the kingdom he did not tell him.
17 Convocou pois Samuel o povo ao Senhor em Mispah.
Samuel called the people together to 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 to the children of Israel, "Thus says the LORD, 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 you have this day rejected your God, who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said, 'No. Set a king over us.' Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD 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.
He brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families, and the family of the Matrites was taken. And he brought the family of the Matrites near man by man, and Saul the son of Kish was taken. But when they looked for 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 the LORD further, "Is there a man yet to come here?" The LORD answered, "Look, he has hidden 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.
They ran and fetched him 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!
Samuel said to all the people, "You see him whom the LORD has chosen, that there is none like him among all the people?" All the people shouted, and said, "Let the king live."
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 regulations of the kingdom, and wrote it on a scroll, and laid it up before the LORD. Samuel sent all the people away, every man went to his place
26 E foi-se também Saul a sua casa, a Gibeah: e foram com ele do exército aqueles cujos corações Deus tocara.
Saul also went to his house to Gibeah; and there went with him the valient men, whose hearts the LORD 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?" So they despised him, and brought him no present. Now Nahash, king of the Ammonites, was severely oppressing the Gadites and the Reubenites. He put out the right eye of all of them, and he would not allow anyone to rescue Israel. Not one was left of the children of Israel beyond the Jordan whose right eye Nahash, king of the Ammonites, did not put out, except for seven thousand men who had escaped from the Ammonites and went to Jabesh Gilead.
