1 Samuel 10
1 Tomando então Samuel um frasco de azeite, derramou-o sobre sua cabeça, e beijou-o, e disse-lhe: Não foi o SENHOR que te ungiu para que sejas líder sobre sua propriedade?
Then Samuel took a small jar of olive oil and poured [some of] it on Saul’s head. Then he kissed Saul [on the cheek], and told him, “I am doing this because Yahweh has chosen you to be the leader of his Israeli people.
2 Hoje, depois que te tenhas apartado de mim, acharás dois homens junto ao sepulcro de Raquel, no termo de Benjamim, em Zelza, os quais te dirão: As asnas que havias ido a buscar, se acharam; teu pai pois há deixado já o negócio das asnas, porém está preocupado convosco, dizendo: Que farei acerca de meu filho?
[And this will prove it to you]: When you leave me today, when you arrive near Rachel’s tomb at Zelzah, in the area where the descendants of Benjamin live, you will meet two men. They will say to you, ‘The donkeys have been found, but now your father is worrying about you, and he is asking people, “Have you seen my son?’”
3 E quando dali te fores mais adiante, e chegares à campina de Tabor, te sairão ao encontro três homens que sobem a Deus em Betel, levando o um três cabritos, e o outro três tortas de pão, e o terceiro uma vasilha de vinho:
When you arrive at the [large] oak tree at Tabor [town], you will see three men coming toward you. They will be on their way to [worship] God at Bethel [town]. One of them will be leading three young goats, one will be carrying three loaves of bread, and one will be carrying a container of wine.
4 Os quais, logo que te tenham saudado, te darão dois pães, os quais tomarás das mãos deles.
They will greet you, and they will offer you two of the loaves of bread. Accept them.
5 De ali virás ao morro de Deus de onde está a guarnição dos filisteus; e quando entrares ali na cidade encontrarás uma companhia de profetas que descem do alto, e diante deles saltério, e adufe, e flauta, e harpa, e eles profetizando:
When you arrive at the hill [where people worship] God near Gibeah [town], where there is the camp where the Philistine soldiers stay, you will meet a group of prophets who will be coming down from the altar on top of the hill. There will be people in front of them who will be playing [various musical instruments]: a harp, a tambourine, a flute, and a lyre. And all of them will be speaking messages that come directly from God.
6 E o espírito do SENHOR te arrebatará, e profetizarás com eles, e serás transformado em outro homem.
At that time the Spirit of Yahweh will come upon you, and you also will speak messages that come directly from God. (You will be changed/The Spirit of Yahweh will change you), so that you will become like a different person.
7 E quando te houverem sobrevindo estas sinais, faze o que te vier à mão, porque Deus é contigo.
After those things occur, do whatever you think is right to do, and God will (be with/help) you.
8 E descerás antes de mim a Gilgal; e logo descerei eu a ti para sacrificar holocaustos, e imolar sacrifícios pacíficos. Espera sete dias, até que eu venha a ti, e te ensine o que hás de fazer.
Then go ahead of me, down to Gilgal [city], and wait for me there, for seven days. Then I will join you there, to burn sacrifices and offer other sacrifices to enable you to maintain fellowship with God. When I arrive there, I will tell you what [other] things you should do.”
9 E foi que assim quando virou ele seu ombro para partir-se de Samuel, mudou-lhe Deus seu coração; e todas estes sinais aconteceram naquele dia.
As Saul started to leave there, God changed Saul’s inner being. And all the things that Samuel had predicted happened on that day.
10 E quando chegaram ali ao morro, eis que a companhia dos profetas que vinha a encontrar-se com ele, e o Espírito de Deus o arrebatou, e profetizou entre eles.
When Saul and his servant arrived at Gibeah, they saw some prophets who were [speaking messages that came directly from God. As the prophets were] approaching Saul and his servant, God’s Spirit came upon Saul powerfully, and he also began to speak messages from God.
11 E aconteceu que, quando todos os que o conheciam de antes viram como profetizava com os profetas, o povo dizia o um ao outro: Que sucedeu ao filho de Quis? Saul também entre os profetas?
When people who had known Saul previously heard him speaking messages from God as the prophets were doing, they said to each other, “What has happened to this son of Kish? Is he now really one of the (prophets/men who speak messages from God)?”
12 E algum dali respondeu, e disse: E quem é o pai deles? Por esta causa se tornou em provérbio: Também Saul entre os profetas?
One of the men who lived there replied, “[Saul cannot be a prophet, because] all prophets receive their power to speak messages from God, not from their parents.” And that is why, [when people hear about a report of someone prophesying, they think about what happened to Saul and] say, “[We are surprised about that person becoming a prophet, like] we were surprised to hear that Saul had really become one of the prophets.”
13 E cessou de profetizar, e chegou ao alto.
When Saul finished speaking the messages that God gave him, he went to the place where the people offered sacrifices.
14 E um tio de Saul disse a ele e a seu criado: Aonde fostes? E ele respondeu: A buscar as asnas; e quando vimos que não apareciam, fomos a Samuel.
Later, Saul’s uncle [saw him there, and] asked him, “Where did you go?” Saul replied, “We went to look for the donkeys. When we could not find them, we came here to ask Samuel [if he could tell us where they were].”
15 E disse o tio de Saul: Eu te rogo me declares que vos disse Samuel.
Saul’s uncle replied, “What did Samuel tell you?”
16 E Saul respondeu a seu tio: Declarou-nos expressamente que as asnas haviam aparecido. Mas do negócio do reino, de que Samuel lhe havia falado, não lhe revelou nada.
Saul replied, “He assured us that the donkeys had been found.” But he did not tell his uncle what Samuel had said about him becoming the king [of Israel].
17 E Samuel convocou o povo ao SENHOR em Mispá;
[Later] Samuel summoned the people of Israel to gather at Mizpah to [hear a message from] Yahweh.
18 E disse aos filhos de Israel: Assim disse o SENHOR o Deus de Israel: Eu tirei a Israel do Egito, e vos livre da mão dos egípcios, e da mão de todos os reinos que vos afligiram:
After they arrived, he said to them, “This is what Yahweh, the God we Israeli people [worship], says: I brought you Israeli people out of Egypt. I rescued your [ancestors] from the power of the rulers of Egypt and from all the other kings who oppressed them.
19 Mas vós rejeitastes hoje a vosso Deus, que vos guarda de todas as vossas aflições e angústias, e dissestes: Não, mas sim põe rei sobre nós. Agora pois, ponde-vos diante do SENHOR por vossas tribos e por vossos milhares.
I am the one who saves you from all your troubles and difficulties. But today you have rejected me, your God, and you have said, ‘We don’t care! Give us a king!’ So [I will do what you want]. Now have [representatives of] your tribes and [of] your clans stand here in the presence of Yahweh.’”
20 E fazendo achegar Samuel todas as tribos de Israel, foi tomada a tribo de Benjamim.
When those representatives came near to Samuel, [God indicated that] he had chosen someone from the tribe descended from Benjamin.
21 E fez chegar a tribo de Benjamim por suas linhagens, e foi tomada a família de Matri; e dela foi tomado Saul filho de Quis. E lhe buscaram, mas não foi achado.
Then Samuel told representatives of the tribe of Benjamin to come forward, and God indicated that [from that tribe] he had chosen someone from the family of Matri, and then God indicated that [from the family of Matri] he had chosen Saul, the son of Kish. But when they looked for Saul, they could not find him.
22 Perguntaram pois outra vez ao SENHOR, se havia ainda de vir ali aquele homem. E respondeu o SENHOR: Eis que ele está escondido entre a bagagem.
So they asked Yahweh, “Where is Saul?” Yahweh replied, “He is hiding among the army equipment.”
23 Então correram, e tomaram-no dali, e posto em meio do povo, desde o ombro acima era mais alto que todo o povo.
So they quickly went there [and found him, ] and brought him [in front of all the people]. They could see that [truly] he was a head taller than anyone else.
24 E Samuel disse a todo o povo: Vistes ao que o SENHOR escolheu, que não há semelhante a ele em todo o povo? Então o povo clamou com alegria, dizendo: Viva o rei!
Then Samuel said to all the people there, “This is the man whom Yahweh has chosen to be your king. Among all us Israeli people, there is no one like him!” Then all the people shouted, “We hope that this king will live a long time!”
25 Então Samuel recitou ao povo o direito do reino, e escreveu-o em um livro, o qual guardou diante do SENHOR.
Then Samuel told the people what things the king would force them to do, and all the things the king was required to do. He wrote all those things on a scroll, and then he put it in a sacred place in the temple. Then Samuel sent all the people home.
26 E enviou Samuel a todo o povo cada um a sua casa. E Saul também se foi a sua casa em Gibeá, e foram com ele o exército, o coração dos quais Deus havia tocado.
When Saul returned to his home in Gibeah [town], a group of men decided to continually accompany Saul. They did that because God (motivated them/put it in their minds) to do that.
27 Porém os ímpios disseram: Como nos há de salvar este? E tiveram-lhe em pouco, e não lhe trouxeram presente: mas ele dissimulou.
But some worthless men said, “(How can this man save us [from our enemies]?/This man will not be able to save us [from our enemies].)” [RHQ] They despised him, and refused to give him any gifts [to show that they would be loyal to him]. But Saul did not say anything [to rebuke them].
