Kings I 8
1 And it came to pass when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
E sucedeu que, tendo Samuel envelhecido, constituiu a seus filhos por juízes sobre Israel.
2 And these [are] the names of his sons; Joel the firstborn, and the name of the second Abia, judges in Bersabee.
E era o nome do seu filho primogênito Joel, e o nome do seu segundo Abia: e foram juízes em Berseba.
3 And his sons did not walk in his way; and they turned aside after gain, and took gifts, and perverted judgments.
Porém seus filhos não andaram pelos caminhos dele, antes se inclinaram à avareza, e tomaram presentes, e perverteram o juízo.
4 And the men of Israel gather themselves together, and come to Armathaim to Samuel,
Então todos os anciãos de Israel se congregaram, e vieram a Samuel, a Rama,
5 and they said to him, Behold, you are grown old, and your sons walk not in your way; and now set over us a king to judge us, as also the other nations [have].
E disseram-lhe: Eis que já estás velho, e teus filhos não andam pelos teus caminhos; constitui-nos pois agora um rei sobre nós, para que ele nos julgue, como o tem todas as nações.
6 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.
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, Hear the voice of the people, in whatever they shall say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from reigning over them.
E disse o Senhor a Samuel: Ouve a voz do povo em tudo quanto te disserem, pois não te tem rejeitado a ti, antes a mim me tem rejeitado para eu não reinar sobre eles.
8 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 you.
Conforme a todas as obras que fizeram desde o dia em que os tirei do Egito até ao dia de hoje, e a mim me deixaram, e a outros deuses serviram, assim também te fizeram a ti.
9 And now listen to their voice; only you shall solemnly testify to them, and you shall describe to them the manner of the king who shall reign over them.
Agora, pois, ouve a sua voz, porém protesta-lhes solenemente, e declara-lhes qual será o costume do rei que houver de reinar sobre eles.
10 And Samuel spoke every word of the Lord to the people who asked of him a king.
E falou Samuel todas as palavras do Senhor ao povo, que lhe pedia um rei.
11 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,
E disse: Este será o costume do rei que houver de reinar sobre vós: ele tomará os vossos filhos, e os empregará para os seus carros, e para seus cavaleiros, para que corram adiante dos seus carros.
12 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.
E os porá por príncipes de milhares e por cincoentenários; 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 And he will take your daughters to be perfumers, and 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 good olive yards, and give them to his servants.
E tomará o melhor das vossas terras, e das vossas vinhas, e dos vossos olivais, e os dará aos seus criados.
15 And he will take the tithe of your seeds and your vineyards, and give [it] to his eunuchs, and to his servants.
E as vossas, sementes, e as vossas vinhas dizimará, para dar aos seus eunucos, e aos seus criados.
16 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.
Também os vossos criados, e as vossas criadas, e os vossos melhores mancebos, e os vossos jumentos tomará, e os empregará no seu trabalho.
17 And he will tithe your flocks; and you shall be his servants.
Dizimará o vosso rebanho, e vós lhe servireis de criados.
18 And you shall cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen to yourselves, and the Lord shall not hear you in those days, because you have chosen to yourselves a king.
Então naquele dia clamareis por causa do vosso rei, que vós houverdes escolhido; mas o Senhor não vos ouvirá naquele dia
19 But the people would not listen to Samuel; and they said to him, Nay, but there shall be a king over us.
Porém o povo não quis ouvir a voz de Samuel; e disseram: Não, mas haverá sobre nós um rei.
20 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.
E nós também 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 spoke them in the ears of the Lord.
Ouvindo pois Samuel todas as palavras do povo, as falou perante os ouvidos do Senhor.
22 And the Lord said to Samuel, Listen to their voice, and appoint them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel, Let each man depart to his city.
Então o Senhor disse a Samuel: Dá ouvidos à sua voz, e constitui-lhes rei. Então Samuel disse aos filhos de Israel: Vá-se cada qual à sua cidade.
