1 Samuel 8

1 E succedeu que, tendo Samuel envelhecido, constituiu a seus filhos por juizes sobre Israel.

And it came to pass when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.

2 E era o nome do seu filho primogenito Joel, e o nome do seu segundo Abia: e foram juizes em Berseba.

And these [are] the names of his sons; Joel the first-born, and the name of the second Abia, judges in Bersabee.

3 Porém seus filhos não andaram pelos caminhos d'elle, antes se inclinaram á avareza, e tomaram presentes, e perverteram o juizo.

And his sons did not walk in his way; and they turned aside after gain, and took gifts, and perverted judgments.

4 Então todos os anciãos de Israel se congregaram, e vieram a Samuel, a Rama,

And the men of Israel gather themselves together, and come to Armathaim to Samuel,

5 E disseram-lhe: Eis que já estás velho, e teus filhos não andam pelos teus caminhos; constitue-nos pois agora um rei sobre nós, para que elle nos julgue, como o teem todas as nações.

and they said to him, Behold, thou art grown old, and thy sons walk not in thy way; and now set over us a king to judge us, as also the other nations [have].

6 Porém esta palavra pareceu mal aos olhos de Samuel, quando disseram: Dá-nos um rei, para que nos julgue. E Samuel orou ao Senhor.

And the thing [was] evil in the eyes of Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us: and Samuel prayed to the Lord.

7 E disse o Senhor a Samuel: Ouve a voz do povo em tudo quanto te disserem, pois não te teem rejeitado a ti, antes a mim me teem rejeitado para eu não reinar sobre elles.

And the Lord said to Samuel, Hear the voice of the people, in whatever they shall say to thee; for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me from reigning over them.

8 Conforme a todas as obras que fizeram desde o dia em que os tirei do Egypto até ao dia de hoje, e a mim me deixaram, e a outros deuses serviram, assim tambem te fizeram a ti.

According to all their doings which they have done to me, from the day that I brought them out of Egypt until this day, even [as] they have deserted me, and served other gods, so they do also to thee.

9 Agora, pois, ouve a sua voz, porém protesta-lhes solemnemente, e declara-lhes qual será o costume do rei que houver de reinar sobre elles.

And now hearken to their voice; only thou shalt solemnly testify to them, and thou shalt describe to them the manner of the king who shall reign over them.

10 E fallou Samuel todas as palavras do Senhor ao povo, que lhe pedia um rei.

And Samuel spoke every word of the Lord to the people who asked of him a king.

11 E disse: Este será o costume do rei que houver de reinar sobre vós: elle tomará os vossos filhos, e os empregará para os seus carros, e para seus cavalleiros, para que corram adiante dos seus carros.

And he said, This shall be the manner of the king that shall rule over you: he shall take your sons, and put them in his chariots, and among his horsemen, and running before his chariots,

12 E os porá por principes de milhares e por cincoentenarios; e para que lavrem a sua lavoura, e seguem a sua sega, e façam as suas armas de guerra e os petrechos de seus carros.

and [his manner shall be] to make them to himself captains of hundreds and captains of thousands; and to reap his harvest, and gather his vintage, and prepare his instruments of war, and the implements of his chariots.

13 E tomará as vossas filhas para perfumistas, cozinheiras, e padeiras.

And he will take your daughters to be perfumers, and cooks, and bakers.

14 E tomará o melhor das vossas terras, e das vossas vinhas, e dos vossos olivaes, e os dará aos seus creados.

And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your good oliveyards, and give them to his servants.

15 E as vossas, sementes, e as vossas vinhas dizimará, para dar aos seus eunuchos, e aos seus creados.

And he will take the tithe of your seeds and your vineyards, and give [it] to his eunuchs, and to his servants.

16 Tambem os vossos creados, e as vossas creadas, e os vossos melhores mancebos, e os vossos jumentos tomará, e os empregará no seu trabalho.

And he will take your servants, and your handmaids, and your good herds and your asses, and will take the tenth of them for his works.

17 Dizimará o vosso rebanho, e vós lhe servireis de creados.

And he will tithe your flocks; and ye shall be his servants.

18 Então n'aquelle dia clamareis por causa do vosso rei, que vós houverdes escolhido; mas o Senhor não vos ouvirá n'aquelle dia

And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king whom ye have chosen to yourselves, and the Lord shall not hear you in those days, because ye have chosen to yourselves a king.

19 Porém o povo não quiz ouvir a voz de Samuel; e disseram: Não, mas haverá sobre nós um rei.

But the people would not hearken to Samuel; and they said to him, Nay, but there shall be a king over us.

20 E nós tambem seremos como todas as outras nações; e o nosso rei nos julgará, e sairá adiante de nós, e fará as nossas guerras.

An we also will be like all the nations; and our king shall judge us, and shall go out before us, and fight our battles.

21 Ouvindo pois Samuel todas as palavras do povo, as fallou perante os ouvidos do Senhor.

And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and spoke them in the ears of the Lord.

22 Então o Senhor disse a Samuel: Dá ouvidos á sua voz, e constitue-lhes rei. Então Samuel disse aos filhos de Israel: Vá-se cada qual á sua cidade.

And the Lord said to Samuel, Hearken to their voice, and appoint them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel, Let each man depart to his city.
