1 Samuel 15
1 E Samuel disse a Saul: o SENHOR me enviou a que te ungisse por rei sobre seu povo Israel: ouve pois a voz das palavras do SENHOR.
And Samuel said to Saul: The Lord sent me to anoint thee king over his People Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the Lord:
2 Assim disse o SENHOR dos exércitos: Lembro-me do que fez Amaleque a Israel; que se lhe opôs no caminho, quando subia do Egito.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I have reckoned up all that Amalec hath done to Israel: I how he opposed them in the way when they came up out of Egypt.
3 Vai pois, e fere a Amaleque, e destruireis nele tudo o que tiver: e não te apiedes dele: mata homens e mulheres, crianças e bebês que mamam, vacas e ovelhas, camelos e asnos.
Now therefore go, and smite Amalec, and utterly destroy all that he hath: spare him not, nor covet any thing that is his: but slay both man and woman, child and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
4 Saul pois juntou o povo, e reconheceu-os em Telaim, duzentos mil a pé, e dez mil homens de Judá.
So Saul commanded the people, and numbered them as lambs: two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand of the men of Juda.
5 E vindo Saul à cidade de Amaleque, pôs emboscada no vale.
And when Saul was come to the city of Amalec, he laid ambushes in the torrent.
6 E disse Saul aos queneus: Ide-vos, apartai-vos, e saí de entre os de Amaleque, para que não te destrua juntamente com ele: pois que tu fizeste misericórdia com todos os filhos de Israel, quando subiam do Egito. Apartaram-se, pois os queneus dentre os de Amaleque.
And Saul said to the Cinite: Go, depart and get ye down from Amalec: lest I destroy thee with him. For thou hast shewn kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. And the Cinite departed from the midst of Amalec.
7 E Saul feriu a Amaleque, desde Havilá até chegar a Sur, que está à fronteira do Egito.
And Saul smote Amalec from Hevila, until thou comest to Sur, which is over against Egypt.
8 E tomou vivo a Agague rei de Amaleque, mas a todo o povo matou a fio de espada.
And he took Agag the king of Amalec alive: but all the common people he slew with the edge of the sword.
9 E Saul e o povo pouparam a Agague, e a o melhor das ovelhas, e ao gado maior, aos grossos e aos carneiros, e a todo o bom: que não o quiseram destruir: mas tudo o que era vil e fraco destruíram.
And Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the flocks of sheep and of the herds, and the garments and the rams, and all that was beautiful, and would not destroy them: but every thing that was vile and good for nothing, that they destroyed.
10 E veio a palavra do SENHOR a Samuel, dizendo:
And the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying:
11 Pesa-me de haver posto por rei a Saul, porque se desviou de me seguir, e não cumpriu minhas palavras. E entristeceu-se Samuel, e clamou ao SENHOR toda aquela noite.
It repenteth me that I have made Saul king: for he hath forsaken me, and hath not executed my commandments. And Samuel was grieved, and he cried unto the Lord all night.
12 Madrugou logo Samuel para ir se encontrar com Saul pela manhã; e foi dado aviso a Samuel, dizendo: Saul veio ao Carmelo, e eis que ele se levantou um monumento, e depois voltando, passou e descido a Gilgal.
And when Samuel rose early, to go to Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, that Saul was come to Carmel, and had erected for himself a triumphant arch, and returning had passed on, and gone down to Galgal. And Samuel came to Saul, and Saul was offering a holocaust to the Lord out of the choicest of the spoils which he had brought from Amalec.
13 Veio, pois, Samuel a Saul, e Saul lhe disse: Bendito sejas tu do SENHOR; eu cumpri a palavra do SENHOR.
And when Samuel was come to Saul, Saul said to him: Blessed be thou of the Lord, I have fulfilled the word of the Lord.
14 Samuel então disse: Pois que balido de gados e bramido de bois é este que eu ouço com meus ouvidos?
And Samuel said: What meaneth then this bleating of the flocks, which soundeth in my ears, and the lowing of the herds, which I hear?
15 E Saul respondeu: De Amaleque os trouxeram; porque o povo poupou ao melhor das ovelhas e das vacas, para sacrificá-las ao SENHOR teu Deus; mas destruímos o resto.
And Saul said: They have brought them from Amalec: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the herds that they might be sacrificed to the Lord thy God, but the rest we have slain.
16 Então disse Samuel a Saul: Deixa-me declarar-te o que o SENHOR me disse esta noite. E ele lhe respondeu: Dize.
And Samuel said to Saul: Suffer me, and I will tell thee what the Lord hath said to me this night. And he said to him: Speak.
17 E disse Samuel: Sendo tu pequeno em teus olhos não foste feito cabeça às tribos de Israel, e o SENHOR te ungiu por rei sobre Israel?
And Samuel said: When thou wast a little one in thy own eyes, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel? And the Lord anointed thee to be king over Israel.
18 E enviou-te o SENHOR em jornada, e disse: Vai, e destrói os pecadores de Amaleque, e faze-lhes guerra até que os acabes.
And the Lord sent thee on the way, and said: Go, and kill the sinners of Amalec, and thou shalt fight against them until thou hast utterly destroyed them.
19 Por que, pois, não ouviste a voz do SENHOR, mas em vez disso te voltaste ao despojo, e fizeste o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR?
Why then didst thou not hearken to the voice of the Lord: but hast turned to the prey, and hast done evil in the eyes of the Lord.
20 E Saul respondeu a Samuel: Antes ouvi a voz do SENHOR, e fui à jornada que o SENHOR me enviou, e trouxe a Agague rei de Amaleque, e destruí aos amalequitas:
And Saul said to Samuel: Yea I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord, and have walked in the way by which the Lord sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalec, and Amalec I have slain.
21 Mas o povo tomou do despojo ovelhas e vacas, as primícias do anátema, para sacrificá-las ao SENHOR teu Deus em Gilgal.
But the people took of the spoils sheep and oxen, as the firstfruits of those things that were slain, to offer sacrifice to the Lord their God in Galgal.
22 E Samuel disse: Tem o SENHOR tanto contentamento com os holocaustos e vítimas, como em obedecer às palavras do SENHOR? Certamente o obedecer é melhor que os sacrifícios; e o prestar atenção que a gordura dos carneiros:
And Samuel said: Doth the Lord desire holocausts and victims, and not rather that the voice of the Lord should be obeyed? For obedience is better than sacrifices: and to hearken rather than to offer the fat of rams.
23 Porque como pecado de adivinhação é a rebelião, e como ídolos e idolatria o infringir. Porquanto tu rejeitaste a palavra do SENHOR, ele também te rejeitou para que não sejas rei.
Because it is like the sin of witchcraft, to rebel: and like the crime of idolatry, to refuse to obey. Forasmuch therefore as thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, the Lord hath also rejected thee from being king.
24 Então Saul disse a Samuel: Eu pequei; porque violei o dito do SENHOR e tuas palavras, porque temi ao povo, consenti à voz deles. Perdoa, pois, agora meu pecado,
And Saul said to Samuel: I have sinned because I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and thy words, fearing the people, and obeying their voice.
25 E volta comigo para que adore ao SENHOR.
But now bear, I beseech thee, my sin, and return with me, that I may adore the Lord.
26 E Samuel respondeu a Saul: Não voltarei contigo; porque rejeitaste a palavra do SENHOR, e o SENHOR te rejeitou para que não sejas rei sobre Israel.
And Samuel said to Saul: I will not return with thee, because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.
27 E voltando-se Samuel para ir-se, ele lançou mão da orla de sua capa, e rasgou-se.
And Samuel turned about to go away: but he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
28 Então Samuel lhe disse: o SENHOR rasgou hoje de ti o reino de Israel, e o deu a teu próximo melhor que tu.
And Samuel said to him: The Lord hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to thy neighbour who is better than thee.
29 E também o Poderoso de Israel não mentirá, nem se arrependerá: porque não é homem para que se arrependa.
But the triumpher in Israel will riot spare, and will not be moved to repentance: for he is not a mail that he should repent.
30 E ele disse: Eu pequei: mas rogo-te que me honres diante dos anciãos de meu povo, e diante de Israel; e volta comigo para que adore ao SENHOR teu Deus.
Then he said: I have sinned: yet honour me now before the ancients of my people, and before Israel, and return with me, that I may adore the Lord thy God.
31 E voltou Samuel atrás de Saul, e Saul adorou ao SENHOR.
So Samuel turned again after Saul: and Saul adored the Lord.
32 Depois disse Samuel: Trazei-me a Agague rei de Amaleque. E Agague veio a ele delicadamente. E disse Agague: Certamente se passou a amargura da morte.
And Samuel said: Bring hitherto me Agag the king of Amalec. And Agag was presented to him very fat, and trembling. And Agag said: Doth bitter death separate in this manner?
33 E Samuel disse: Como tua espada deixou as mulheres sem filhos, assim tua mãe será sem filho entre as mulheres. Então Samuel cortou em pedaços a Agague diante do SENHOR em Gilgal.
And Samuel said: As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed him in pieces before the Lord in Galgal.
34 Foi-se logo Samuel a Ramá, e Saul subiu a sua casa em Gibeá de Saul.
And Samuel departed to Ramatha: but Saul went up to his house in Gabaa.
35 E nunca depois viu Samuel a Saul em toda sua vida: e Samuel chorava por Saul: mas o SENHOR se havia se arrependido de haver posto a Saul por rei sobre Israel.
And Samuel saw Saul no more till the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul, because the Lord repented that he had made him king over Israel.
