1 Samuel 15
1 [One day] Samuel said to Saul, “Yahweh sent me to appoint you to be the king of the Israeli people. So now listen to this message from Yahweh:
Então disse Samuel a Saul: Enviou-me o Senhor a ungir-te rei sobre o seu povo, sobre Israel: ouve pois agora a voz das palavras do Senhor.
2 Yahweh, [the commander] of the armies [of angels] has declared this: ‘I am going to punish [the descendants of] Amalek for [attacking] the Israeli people after the Israelis left Egypt.
Assim diz o Senhor dos exércitos: Eu me recordei do que fez Amalek a Israel; como se lhe opôs no caminho, quando subia do Egito.
3 So now go [with your army] and attack the Amalek people-group. Destroy them completely—destroy them and everything that belongs to them—the men and women, their children and infants, their cattle and sheep and camels and donkeys. Do not (spare any of them/allow any of them to remain alive)!’”
Vai pois agora e fere a Amalek; e destrói totalmente a tudo o que tiver, e não lhe perdoes; porém matarás desde o homem até à mulher, desde os meninos até aos de mama, desde os bois até às ovelhas, e desde os camelos até aos jumentos
4 So Saul summoned the army, and they gathered at Telaim [town]. There were 200,000 soldiers. 10,000 of them were from Judah, [and the others were from the other Israeli tribes].
O que Saul anunciou ao povo, e os contou em Teilaim, duzentos mil homens de pé, e dez mil homens de Judá.
5 Then Saul went [with his army] to a town where some of the Amalek people-group lived. [His army prepared to attack them suddenly by] hiding in the valley.
Chegando pois Saul à cidade de amalek, pôs emboscada no vale.
6 Then Saul sent this message to the Ken people-group [who lived in that area]: “You acted kindly toward all our Israeli [ancestors] when they left Egypt. But we are going to kill all of the Amalek people-group, [because they opposed/attacked our ancestors]. So move away from where the Amalek people-group live. [If you do not move away], you will be killed when they are killed.” So [when] the Ken people-group [heard that, they immediately] left that area.
E disse Saul aos keneos: Ide-vos, retirai-vos e saí do meio dos amalequitas, para que vos não destrua juntamente com eles, porque vós usastes de misericórdia com todos os filhos de Israel, quando subiram do Egito. Assim os keneos se retiraram do meio dos amalequitas.
7 Then Saul’s [army] slaughtered the Amalek people-group, from Havilah [town in the east] to Shur [town in the west]. Shur was at the border [between Israel and] Egypt.
Então feriu Saul aos amalequitas desde Havia até chegar a Sur, que está defronte do Egito.
8 Saul’s army captured Agag, the king of the Amalek people-group, but they killed everyone else.
E tomou vivo a Agag, rei dos amalequitas; porém a todo o povo destruiu ao fio da espada.
9 They not only (spared/did not kill) Agag, but they also took the best sheep and goats and cattle. They took everything that was good. They destroyed only the animals that they considered to be worthless.
E Saul e o povo perdoaram a Agag, e ao melhor das ovelhas e das vacas, e às da segunda sorte, e aos cordeiros e ao melhor que havia, e não os quizeram destruir totalmente: porém a toda a coisa vil e desprezível detruiram totalmente.
10 Then Yahweh said to Samuel,
Então veio a palavra do Senhor a Samuel, dizendo:
11 “I am sorry that I appointed Saul to be your king, because he has turned away from me and has not obeyed what I commanded him to do.” Samuel was very disturbed/upset [when he heard that], and he cried out to Yahweh all that night.
Arrependo-me de haver posto a Saul como rei; porquanto se tornou de detraz de mim, e não executou as minhas palavras. Então Samuel se contristou, e toda a noite clamou ao Senhor.
12 Early the next morning, Samuel got up and went to talk with Saul. But someone told Samuel, “Saul went to Camel [city], where he has set up a monument to honor himself. Now he has left there and gone down to Gilgal.”
E madrugou Samuel para encontrar a Saul pela manhã: e anunciou-se a Samuel, dizendo: Já chegou Saul ao Carmelo, e eis que levantou para si uma coluna. Então fez volta, e passou e desceu e Gilgal.
13 When Samuel arrived [at Gilgal] he approached Saul, and Saul said to him, “I wish/desire that Yahweh will bless you! I have obeyed what Yahweh told me to do.”
Veio pois Samuel a Saul; e Saul lhe disse: bendito tu do Senhor; executei a palavra do Senhor.
14 But Samuel replied, “If that is true, why is it that I hear cattle mooing and I hear sheep bleating?”
Então disse Samuel: Que balido pois de ovelhas é este nos meus ouvidos, e o mugido de vacas que ouço?
15 Saul replied, “The soldiers took them from the Amalek people-group. They saved the best sheep and cattle, in order to offer them as sacrifices to Yahweh, your God. But we have completely destroyed all the others.”
E disse Saul: De Amalek as trouxeram; porque o povo perdoou ao melhor das ovelhas e das vacas, para as oferecer ao Senhor teu Deus: o resto porém temos destruído totalmente.
16 Samuel said to Saul, “Stop [talking]! Allow me to tell you what Yahweh said to me last night.” Saul replied, “Tell me [what he said].”
Então disse Samuel a Saul: Espera, e te declararei o que o Senhor me disse esta noite. E ele disse-lhe: fala.
17 Samuel said, “Previously you did not think that you were important. But now you have become [RHQ] the leader of the tribes of Israel. Yahweh appointed you to be their king.
E disse Samuel: Porventura, sendo tu pequeno aos teus olhos, não foste por Cabeça das tribos de Israel? e o Senhor te ungiu rei sobre Israel.
18 And Yahweh sent you to do something [for him]. He said to you, ‘Go and get rid of all those sinful people, the Amalek people-group. Attack them and kill all of them.’
E enviou-te o Senhor a este caminho, e disse: vai, e destrói totalmente a estes pecadores, os amalequitas, e peleja contra eles, até que os aniquiles.
19 So why did you not obey Yahweh [RHQ]? Why did your men take the best animals [RHQ]? Why did you do what Yahweh said was evil?” [RHQ]
Porque pois não deste ouvidos à voz do Senhor, antes voaste ao despojo, e fizeste o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor?
20 Saul replied to Samuel, “Hey, I did what Yahweh sent me to do! I brought back King Agag, but we killed everyone else!
Então disse Saul a Samuel: Antes dei ouvidos à voz do Senhor, e caminhei no caminho pelo qual o Senhor me enviou; e trouxe a Agag, rei de Amalek, e os amalequitas destruí totalmente;
21 My men brought back only the best sheep and cattle and other things, in order to sacrifice them to Yahweh your God here at Gilgal.”
Mas o povo tomou do despojo ovelhas e vacas, o melhor do interdito, para oferecer ao Senhor teu Deus em Gilgal.
22 But Samuel replied, “Which [do you think] pleases Yahweh more, animals that are completely burned [on the altar] and other sacrifices, or people obeying him [SYN]? It is better to obey [Yahweh] than [to offer] sacrifices [to him]. It is better to pay attention to what he says than [to burn] the fat of rams, [even though God said they should be sacrificed to him].
Porém Samuel disse: Tem porventura o Senhor tanto prazer em holocaustos e sacrifícios, como em que se obedeça à palavra do Senhor? eis que o obedecer é melhor do que o sacrificar, e o atender melhor é do que a gordura de carneiros.
23 To rebel [against God] is as sinful as doing sorcery/black magic, and being stubborn is as sinful as worshiping idols. So, because you disobeyed what Yahweh told you to do, he has declared that you will no longer be king.”
Porque a rebelião é como o pecado de feitiçaria, e o porfiar é como iniquidade e idolatria. Porquanto tu rejeitaste a palavra do Senhor, ele também te rejeitou a ti, para que não sejas rei.
24 Then Saul said to Samuel, “[Yes], I have sinned. I disobeyed what you told me to do, which is what Yahweh commanded. I did that because I was (afraid of/worried about) what my men would say [if I did not do what they wanted]. So I did what they demanded.
Então disse Saul a Samuel: Pequei, porquanto tenho traspassado o dito do Senhor e as tuas palavras: porque temi ao povo, e dei ouvidos à sua voz.
25 But now, please forgive me for having sinned. And come back with me [to where the people are] in order that I may worship Yahweh.”
Agora pois, te rogo, perdoa-me o meu pecado: e torna-te comigo, para que adore ao Senhor.
26 But Samuel replied, “No, I will not go back with you. You have rejected/disobeyed what Yahweh commanded you to do. So he has rejected you, [and declared that you will no longer] be the king of Israel. [So I do not want to talk any more with you].”
Porém Samuel disse a Saul: Não tornarei contigo: porquanto rejeitaste a palavra do Senhor, já te rejeitou o Senhor, para que não sejas rei sobre Israel.
27 As Samuel turned to leave, Saul tried to stop him by grabbing the edge of Samuel’s robe, and it tore.
E virando-se Samuel para se ir, ele lhe pegou pela borda da capa, e a rasgou.
28 Samuel said to him, “[You tore my robe! And] today Yahweh has torn away from you the kingdom of Israel! He will appoint someone else to be king, someone who is a better man than you are.
Então Samuel lhe disse: O Senhor tem rasgado de ti hoje o reino de Israel, e o tem dado ao teu próximo, melhor do que tu.
29 And since the one who is the glorious [God] of the Israeli people does not lie, he will not change (his mind/what he has said). Humans sometimes change their minds, but God does not do that, because he is not a human.”
E também aquele que é a Força de Israel não mente nem se arrepende; porquanto não é um homem para que se arrependa.
30 Then Saul [pleaded again. He] said, “I know that I have sinned. But please honor me in front of the leaders of the Israeli people and in front of all the other Israeli people by coming back [to them] with me in order that I may worship Yahweh your God.”
Disse ele então: Pequei; honra-me porém agora diante dos anciãos do meu povo, e diante de Israel: e torna-te comigo, para que adore ao Senhor teu Deus.
31 So Samuel finally agreed to do that, and they went together back [to where the people were], and Saul worshiped Yahweh there.
Então Samuel se tornou atráz de Saul: e Saul adorou ao Senhor.
32 Then Samuel said, “Bring King Agag to me.” So they brought Agag to him. Agag was confidently expecting that they would spare him/not kill him. He was thinking, “Surely I will not have to endure an agonizing death!”
Então disse Samuel: Trazei-me aqui a Agag, rei dos amalequitas. E Agag veio a ele melindrosamente: e disse Agag: Na verdade já passou a amargura da morte.
33 But Samuel said to him, “You have killed the sons of many women with your sword, so now your mother will no longer have a son.” And Samuel cut Agag into pieces [with his sword], there at Gilgal, in the presence of Yahweh.
Disse porém Samuel: Assim como a tua espada desfilhou as mulheres, assim ficará desfilhada a tua mãe entre as mulheres. Então Samuel despedaçou a Agag perante o Senhor em Gilgal.
34 Then Samuel left there and returned to his home in Ramah, and Saul went to his home in Gibeah.
Então Samuel se foi a Rama: e Saul subiu a sua casa, a Gibeah de Saul.
35 Samuel never saw Saul again, but he was very sad about [what] Saul [had done]. And Yahweh was very sorry that he had appointed Saul to be the king of Israel.
E nunca mais viu Samuel a Saul até ao dia da sua morte; porque Samuel teve dó de Saul. E o Senhor se arrependeu de que pusera a Saul rei sobre Israel.
