1 Samuel 16
1 E disse o SENHOR a Samuel: Até quando hás tu de chorar por Saul, havendo-o eu rejeitado para que não reine sobre Israel? Enche teu chifre de azeite, e vem, te enviarei a Jessé de Belém: porque de seus filhos me provi de rei.
And the Lord said to Samuel, How long will you go on sorrowing for Saul, seeing that I have put him from his place as king over Israel? Take oil in your vessel and go; I will send you to Jesse, the Beth-lehemite: for I have got a king for myself among his sons.
2 E disse Samuel: Como irei? Se Saul o entender, me matará. O SENHOR respondeu: Toma contigo uma bezerra das vacas, e dize: A sacrificar ao SENHOR vim.
And Samuel said, How is it possible for me to go? If Saul gets news of it he will put me to death. And the Lord said, Take a young cow with you and say, I have come to make an offering to the Lord.
3 E chama a Jessé ao sacrifício, e eu te ensinarei o que hás de fazer; e ungirás a mim ao que eu te disser.
And send for Jesse to be present at the offering, and I will make clear to you what you are to do: and you are to put the holy oil on him whose name I give you.
4 Fez pois Samuel como lhe disse o SENHOR: e logo que ele chegou a Belém, os anciãos da cidade lhe saíram a receber com medo, e disseram: É pacífica tua vinda?
And Samuel did as the Lord said and came to Beth-lehem. And the responsible men of the town came out to him in fear and said, Do you come in peace?
5 E ele respondeu: Sim, venho a sacrificar ao SENHOR; santificai-vos, e vinde comigo ao sacrifício. E santificando ele a Jessé e a seus filhos, chamou-os ao sacrifício.
And he said, In peace: I have come to make an offering to the Lord: make yourselves clean and come with me to make the offering. And he made Jesse and his sons clean, and sent for them to be present at the offering.
6 E aconteceu que quando eles vieram, ele viu a Eliabe, e disse: De certo diante do SENHOR está seu ungido.
Now when they came, looking at Eliab, he said, Clearly the man of the Lord's selection is before him.
7 E o SENHOR respondeu a Samuel: Não olhes à sua aparência, nem à sua grande estatura, porque eu o rejeito; porque o SENHOR olha não o que o homem olha; pois que o homem olha o que está diante de seus olhos, mas o SENHOR olha o coração.
But the Lord said to Samuel, Do not take note of his face or how tall he is, because I will not have him: for the Lord's view is not man's; man takes note of the outer form, but the Lord sees the heart.
8 Então chamou Jessé a Abinadabe, e fez-lhe passar diante de Samuel, o qual disse: nem a este o SENHOR escolheu.
Then Jesse sent for Abinadab and made him come before Samuel. And he said, The Lord has not taken this one.
9 Fez logo passar Jessé a Samá. E ele disse: Tampouco a este o SENHOR escolheu.
Then Jesse made Shammah come before him. And he said, The Lord has not taken this one.
10 E Jessé fez passar seus sete filhos diante de Samuel; mas Samuel disse a Jessé: o SENHOR não escolheu a estes.
And Jesse made his seven sons come before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, The Lord has not taken any of these.
11 Então disse Samuel a Jessé: Acabaram-se os moços? E ele respondeu: Ainda resta o mais novo, que apascenta as ovelhas. E disse Samuel a Jessé: Envia por ele, porque não nos assentaremos à mesa até que ele venha aqui.
Then Samuel said to Jesse, Are all your children here? And he said, There is still the youngest, and he is looking after the sheep. And Samuel said to Jesse, Send and make him come here: for we will not take our seats till he is here.
12 Enviou, pois, por ele, e introduziu-o; o qual era ruivo, de bela aparência e de belo aspecto. Então o SENHOR disse: Levanta-te e unge-o, que este é.
So he sent and made him come in. Now he had red hair and beautiful eyes and pleasing looks. And the Lord said, Come, put the oil on him, for this is he.
13 E Samuel tomou o chifre do azeite, e ungiu-o dentre seus irmãos: e desde aquele dia em diante o espírito do SENHOR tomou a Davi. Levantou-se logo Samuel, e voltou-se a Ramá.
Then Samuel took the bottle of oil, and put the oil on him there among his brothers: and from that day the spirit of the Lord came on David with power. So Samuel went back to Ramah.
14 E o espírito do SENHOR se afastou de Saul, e atormentava-lhe o espírito mau da parte do SENHOR.
Now the spirit of the Lord had gone from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord was troubling him.
15 E os criados de Saul lhe disseram: Eis que agora, que o espírito mau da parte de Deus te atormenta.
And Saul's servants said to him, See now, an evil spirit from God is troubling you.
16 Diga, pois, nosso senhor a teus servos que estão diante de ti, que busquem alguém que saiba tocar a harpa; para que quando for sobre ti o espírito mau da parte de Deus, ele toque com sua mão, e tenhas alívio.
Now give orders to your servants who are here before you to go in search of a man who is an expert player on a corded instrument: and it will be that when the evil spirit from God is on you, he will make music for you on his instrument, and you will get well.
17 E Saul respondeu a seus criados: Buscai-me pois agora algum que toque bem, e traze-o a mim.
And Saul said to his servants, Then get me a man who is an expert player, and make him come to me.
18 Então um dos criados respondeu, dizendo: Eis que eu vi a um filho de Jessé de Belém, que sabe tocar, e é valente e vigoroso, e homem de guerra, prudente em suas palavras, e belo, e o SENHOR é com ele.
Then one of the servants in answer said, I have seen a son of Jesse, the Beth-lehemite, who is expert at playing, and a strong man and a man of war; and he is wise in his words, and pleasing in looks, and the Lord is with him.
19 E Saul enviou mensageiros a Jessé, dizendo: Envia-me a Davi teu filho, o que está com as ovelhas.
So Saul sent his servants to Jesse and said, Send me your son David who is with the sheep.
20 E tomou Jessé um asno carregado de pão, e uma vasilha de vinho e um cabrito, e enviou-o a Saul por meio de Davi seu filho.
And Jesse took five cakes of bread and a skin of wine and a young goat and sent them to Saul by David.
21 E vindo Davi a Saul, esteve diante dele: e amou-o ele muito, e foi feito seu escudeiro.
And David came to Saul, waiting before him: and he became very dear to Saul, who made him his servant, giving him the care of his arms.
22 E Saul enviou a dizer a Jessé: Eu te rogo que esteja Davi comigo; porque achou graça em meus olhos.
And Saul sent to Jesse saying, Let David be with me, for he is pleasing to me.
23 E quando o espírito mau da parte de Deus era sobre Saul, Davi tomava a harpa, e tocava com sua mão; e Saul tinha refrigério, e estava melhor, e o espírito mau se afastava dele.
And whenever the evil spirit from God came on Saul, David took his instrument and made music: so new life came to Saul, and he got well, and the evil spirit went away from him.
