1 Samuel 2
1 Então orou Ana, e disse: O meu coração exulta ao Senhor, o meu poder está exaltado no Senhor: a minha boca se dilatou sobre os meus inimigos, porquanto me alegro na tua salvação.
“My heart exults in the Lord, and my horn is exalted in my God. My mouth is enlarged over my enemies. For I have rejoiced in your salvation.
2 Não há Santo como é o Senhor; porque não há outro fora de ti: e rocha nenhuma há como o nosso Deus.
Nothing is holy as the Lord is holy. For there is no other beside you. And nothing is strong as our God is strong.
3 Não multipliqueis palavras de altíssimas altivezas, nem saiam coisas arduas da vossa boca: porque o Senhor é o Deus de conhecimento, e por ele são as obras pesadas na balança.
Do not continue speaking of great things, boasting. Let what is old depart from your mouth. For the Lord is the God of knowledge, and thoughts are prepared for him.
4 O arco dos fortes foi quebrado, e os que tropeçavam foram cingidos de força.
The bow of the powerful has been overwhelmed, and the weak have been girded with strength.
5 Os fartos se alugaram por pão, e cessaram os famintos: até a estéril pariu sete filhos, e a que tinha muitos filhos enfraqueceu.
Those who before were filled, have hired themselves out for bread. And the starving have been filled, so that the barren have given birth to many. But she who had borne many sons has become unable.
6 O Senhor é o que tira a vida e a dá: faz descer à sepultura e faz tornar a subir dela. (Sheol h7585)
The Lord brings death, and he gives life. He leads away to death, and he brings back again. (Sheol h7585)
7 O Senhor empobrece e enriquece: abaixa e também exalta.
The Lord impoverishes, and he enriches. He humbles, and he lifts up.
8 Levanta o pobre do pó, e desde o esterco exalta o necessitado, para o fazer assentar entre os príncipes, para os fazer herdar o trono de glória: porque do Senhor são os alicerces da terra, e assentou sobre eles o mundo.
He raises up the indigent from the dust, and he lifts up the poor from filth, so that they may sit with princes, and take hold of a throne of glory. For the hinges of the earth belong to the Lord, and he has placed the globe upon them.
9 Os pés dos seus santos guardará, porém os ímpios ficarão mudos nas trevas: porque o homem não prevalecerá pela força
He will preserve the feet of his holy ones, and the impious will be silenced in darkness. For no man will prevail by his own strength.
10 Os que contendem com o Senhor serão quebrantados, desde os céus trovejará sobre eles: o Senhor julgará as extremidades da terra: e dará força ao seu rei, e exaltará o poder do seu ungido
The adversaries of the Lord will dread him. And over them, he will thunder in the heavens. The Lord will judge the parts of the earth, and he will give dominion to his king, and he will lift up the horn of his Christ.”
11 Então Elcana foi-se a Rama, à sua casa: porém o menino ficou servindo ao Senhor, perante o sacerdote Eli.
And Elkanah went away to Ramah, to his house. But the boy was a minister in the sight of the Lord, before the face of Eli, the priest.
12 Eram porém os filhos de Eli filhos de Belial, não conheciam ao Senhor.
But the sons of Eli were sons of Belial, not knowing the Lord,
13 Porquanto o costume daqueles sacerdotes com o povo era que, oferecendo alguém algum sacrifício, vinha o moço do sacerdote, estando-se cozendo a carne, com um garfo de três dentes em sua mão;
nor the priestly office for the people. And so, no matter who had immolated a victim, the servant of the priest would arrive, while the flesh was still cooking, and he would take a three-pronged hook in his hand,
14 E dava com ele na caldeira, ou na panela, ou no caldeirão, ou na marmita; e tudo quanto o garfo tirava, o sacerdote tomava para si: assim faziam a todo o Israel que ia ali a Silo.
and put it into the vessel, or into the cauldron, or into the cooking pot, or into the pan, and all that the hook lifted up, the priest took for himself. So they did to all of Israel who arrived at Shiloh.
15 Também antes de queimarem a gordura vinha o moço do sacerdote, e dizia ao homem que sacrificava: Dá essa carne para assar ao sacerdote: porque não tomará de ti carne cozida, senão crua
In addition, before they burned the fat, the servant of the priest would arrive, and he would say to the one who was immolating: “Give me the flesh, so that I may boil it for the priest. For I will not accept cooked meat from you, but raw.”
16 E, dizendo-lhe o homem: Queimem primeiro a gordura de hoje, e depois toma para ti quanto desejar a tua alma, então ele lhe dizia: Não, agora a as de dar, e, se não, por força a tomarei.
And the one who was immolating would say to him, “First, allow the fat to be burned today, according to custom, and then take for yourself whatever your soul desires.” But in response, he would say to him: “By no means. For you will give it to me now, otherwise I will take it by force.”
17 Era pois muito grande o pecado destes mancebos perante o Senhor, porquanto os homens desprezavam a oferta do Senhor.
Therefore, the sin of the servants was exceedingly great before the Lord. For they drew men away from the sacrifice of the Lord.
18 Porém Samuel ministrava perante o Senhor, sendo ainda mancebo, vestido com um éfode de linho.
But Samuel was ministering before the face of the Lord; he was a youth girded with a linen ephod.
19 E sua mãe lhe fazia uma túnica pequena, e de ano em ano lha trazia, quando com seu marido subia a sacrificar o sacrifício anual.
And his mother fashioned a little tunic for him, which she brought to him on the appointed days, ascending with her husband, so that he might immolate the solemn sacrifice.
20 E Eli abençoava a Elcana e a sua mulher, e dizia: O Senhor te dê semente desta mulher, pela petição que fez ao Senhor. E voltaram para o seu lugar.
And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife. And he said to him, “May the Lord repay to you offspring from this woman, on behalf of the loan that you offered to the Lord.” And they went away to their own place.
21 Visitou pois o Senhor a Ana, e concebeu, e pariu três filhos e duas filhas: e o mancebo Samuel crescia diante do Senhor.
Then the Lord visited Hannah, and she conceived and bore three sons and two daughters. And the youth Samuel was magnified with the Lord.
22 Era porém Eli já muito velho, e ouvia tudo quanto seus filhos faziam a todo o Israel, e de como se deitavam com as mulheres que em bandos se ajuntavam à porta da tenda da congregação.
Now Eli was very old, and he heard all that his sons were doing to all of Israel, and how they were sleeping with the women who were waiting at the door of the tabernacle.
23 E disse-lhes: Porque fazeis tais coisas? porque ouço de todo este povo os vossos malefícios.
And he said to them: “Why are you doing these kinds of things, very wicked things, that I have heard from all the people?
24 Não, filhos meus, porque não é boa fama esta que ouço: fazeis transgredir o povo do Senhor.
My sons, do not be willing. For it is no good report that I am hearing, so that you would cause the people of the Lord to transgress.
25 Pecando homem contra homem, os juízes o julgarão; pecando porém o homem contra o Senhor, quem rogará por ele? Mas não ouviram a voz de seu pai, porque o Senhor os queria matar.
If a man has sinned against a man, God may be able to be appeased over him. But if a man has sinned against the Lord, who will pray for him?” But they did not listen to the voice of their father, that the Lord was willing to kill them.
26 E o mancebo Samuel ia crescendo, e fazia-se agradável, assim para com o Senhor como também para com os homens.
But the youth Samuel advanced, and grew up, and he was pleasing to the Lord, as well as to men.
27 E veio um homem de Deus a Eli, e disse-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor. Não me manifestei, na verdade, à casa de teu pai, estando eles ainda no Egito, na casa de faraó?
Then a man of God went to Eli, and he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Was I not revealed openly to the house of your father, when they were in Egypt in the house of Pharaoh?
28 E mo escolhi dentre todas as tribos de Israel por sacerdote, para oferecer sobre o meu altar, para acender o incenso, e para trazer o éfode perante mim, e dei à casa de teu pai todas as ofertas queimadas dos filhos de Israel.
And I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel for myself as priest, so that he might ascend to my altar, and burn incense to me, and wear the ephod before me. And I gave to the house of your father all the sacrifices of the sons of Israel.
29 Porque dais coices contra o sacrifício e contra a minha oferta de manjares, que ordenei na minha morada, e honras a teus filhos mais do que a mim, para vos engordardes do principal de todas as ofertas do meu povo de Israel?
Why have you kicked away my victims and my gifts, which I instructed to be offered in the temple? And why have you given more honor to your sons than to me, so that you eat the first-fruits of every sacrifice of my people Israel?
30 Portanto, diz o Senhor Deus de Israel: Na verdade tinha dito eu que a tua casa e a casa de teu pai andariam diante de mim perpetuamente; porém agora diz o Senhor: Longe de mim tal coisa, porque aos que me honram honrarei, porém os que me desprezam serão envilecidos.
Because of this, the Lord God of Israel says: I have spoken clearly, so that your house, and the house of your father, may minister in my sight, even forever. But now the Lord says: May this be far from me. Instead, whoever will have glorified me, I will glorify him. But whoever despises me, they will be despised.
31 Eis que veem dias em que cortarei o teu braço e o braço da casa de teu pai, para que não haja mais velho algum em tua casa.
Behold the days are arriving, when I will cut off your arm, and the arm of the house of your father, so that there will not be an old man in your house.
32 E verás o aperto da morada de Deus, em lugar de todo o bem que houvera de fazer a Israel: nem haverá por todos os dias velho algum em tua casa.
And you will see your rival in the temple, amid all the prosperity of Israel. And there will not be an old man in your house for all days.
33 O homem porém que eu te não desarraigar do meu altar seria para vos consumir os olhos e para te entristecer a alma: e toda a multidão da tua casa morrerá quando chegar à idade varonil.
Yet truly, I will not entirely take away a man of you from my altar, but such that your eyes may fail, and your soul may melt away, and a great part of your house may die out, as it pertains to the state of men.
34 E isto te será por sinal, a saber: o que sobrevirá a teus dois filhos, a Hophni e a Phineas, que ambos morrerão no mesmo dia.
But this will be a sign to you, which will happen to your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas: on one day they both will die.
35 E eu suscitarei para mim um sacerdote fiel, que obrará segundo o meu coração e a minha alma, e eu lhe edificarei uma casa firme, e andará sempre diante do meu ungido.
And I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, who will act in accord with my heart and my soul. And I will build a faithful house for him. And he will walk before my Christ for all days.
36 E será que todo aquele que ficar de resto da tua casa virá a inclinar-se diante dele por uma moeda de prata e por um bocado de pão, e dirá: Rogo-te que me admitas a algum ministério sacerdotal, para que possa comer um pedaço de pão.
Then this will be in the future, that whoever will have remained of your house, he will approach so that he may pray on his behalf. And he will offer a coin of silver, and a twist of bread. And he will say: ‘Permit me, I beg you, one part of the priestly office, so that I may eat a mouthful of bread.’”
