1 Samuel 8
1 And it came to pass when Samuel was old, that he appointed his sons to be judges over Israel.
E succedeu que, tendo Samuel envelhecido, constituiu a seus filhos por juizes sobre Israel.
2 Now the name of his firstborn son was Joel: and the name of the second was Abia, judges in Bersabee.
E era o nome do seu filho primogenito Joel, e o nome do seu segundo Abia: e foram juizes em Berseba.
3 And his sons walked not in his ways: but they turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
Porém seus filhos não andaram pelos caminhos d'elle, antes se inclinaram á avareza, e tomaram presentes, e perverteram o juizo.
4 Then all the ancients of Israel being assembled, came to Samuel to Ramatha.
Então todos os anciãos de Israel se congregaram, e vieram a Samuel, a Rama,
5 And they said to him: Behold thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: make us a king, to judge us, as all nations have.
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.
6 And the word was displeasing in the eyes of Samuel, that they should say: Give us a king, to judge us. And Samuel prayed to the Lord.
Porém esta palavra pareceu mal aos olhos de Samuel, quando disseram: Dá-nos um rei, para que nos julgue. E Samuel orou ao Senhor.
7 And the Lord said to Samuel: Hearken to the voice of the people in all that they say to thee. For they have not rejected thee, but me, that I should not reign over them.
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.
8 According to all their works, they have done from the day that I brought them out of Egypt until this day: as they have forsaken me, and served strange gods, so do they also unto thee.
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.
9 Now therefore hearken to their voice: but yet testify to them, and foretell them the right of the king, that shall reign over them.
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.
10 Then Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people that had desired a king of him,
E fallou Samuel todas as palavras do Senhor ao povo, que lhe pedia um rei.
11 And said: This will be the right of the king, that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and put them in his chariots, and will make them his horsemen, and his running footmen to run before his chariots,
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.
12 And he will appoint of them to be his tribunes, and centurions, and to plough his fields, and to reap his corn, and to make him arms and chariots.
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.
13 Your daughters also he will take to make him ointments, and to be his cooks, and bakers.
E tomará as vossas filhas para perfumistas, cozinheiras, e padeiras.
14 And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your best oliveyards, and give them to his servants.
E tomará o melhor das vossas terras, e das vossas vinhas, e dos vossos olivaes, e os dará aos seus creados.
15 Moreover he will take the tenth of your corn, and of the revenues of your vineyards, to give his eunuchs and servants.
E as vossas, sementes, e as vossas vinhas dizimará, para dar aos seus eunuchos, e aos seus creados.
16 Your servants also and handmaids, and your goodliest young men, and your asses he will take away, and put them to his work.
Tambem os vossos creados, e as vossas creadas, e os vossos melhores mancebos, e os vossos jumentos tomará, e os empregará no seu trabalho.
17 Your flocks also he will tithe, and you shall be his servants.
Dizimará o vosso rebanho, e vós lhe servireis de creados.
18 And you shall cry out in that day from the face of the king, whom you have chosen to yourselves. and the Lord will not hear you in that day, because you desired unto yourselves a king.
Então n'aquelle dia clamareis por causa do vosso rei, que vós houverdes escolhido; mas o Senhor não vos ouvirá n'aquelle dia
19 But the people would not hear the voice of Samuel, and they said: Nay: but there shall be a king over us.
Porém o povo não quiz ouvir a voz de Samuel; e disseram: Não, mas haverá sobre nós um rei.
20 And we also will be like all nations: and our king shall judge us, and go out before us, and tight our battles for us.
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.
21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and rehearsed them in the ears of the Lord.
Ouvindo pois Samuel todas as palavras do povo, as fallou perante os ouvidos do Senhor.
22 And the Lord said to Samuel: Hearken to their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel: Let every man go to his city.
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.
