1 Samuel 2

Bíblia Portuguesa Mundial

1Ana orou e disse: “O meu coração exulta no SENHOR! O meu poder é exaltado no SENHOR. A minha boca se alarga contra os meus inimigos, porque me alegro na tua salvação.

2Não há ninguém santo como o SENHOR, pois não há ninguém além de ti; não há Rocha alguma como o nosso Deus.

3“Não falem mais com tanta arrogância. Não saia da boca de vocês a altivez, pois o SENHOR é um Deus de conhecimento. Por ele as ações são pesadas.

4“Os arcos dos poderosos são quebrados, mas os que tropeçavam são revestidos de força.

5Os que eram fartos se alugam por pão, mas os que tinham fome já não têm. Sim, a estéril deu à luz sete filhos, e a que tinha muitos filhos desfalece.

6“O SENHOR mata e preserva a vida; ele faz descer ao Seol e faz subir.

7O SENHOR empobrece e enriquece; ele humilha e também exalta.

8Ele levanta o pobre do pó e ergue o necessitado do monte de cinzas, para fazê-los assentar-se com os príncipes e herdar um trono de glória. Pois as colunas da terra pertencem ao SENHOR, e ele assentou o mundo sobre elas.

9Ele guardará os pés dos seus santos, mas os ímpios serão silenciados nas trevas; pois não é pela força que o homem prevalecerá.

10Os que contendem com o SENHOR serão despedaçados. Desde os céus ele trovejará contra eles. “O SENHOR julgará os confins da terra. Ele dará força ao seu rei, e exaltará o poder do seu ungido.”

11Elcana foi para a sua casa em Ramá. E o menino servia ao SENHOR perante o sacerdote Eli.

12Ora, os filhos de Eli eram homens ímpios. Eles não conheciam o SENHOR.

13O costume dos sacerdotes para com o povo era que, quando alguém oferecia um sacrifício, o servo do sacerdote vinha enquanto a carne estava cozinhando, com um garfo de três dentes na mão;

14e ele o cravava na panela, no caldeirão, no tacho ou no pote. O sacerdote tomava para si tudo o que o garfo tirava. Assim faziam a todos os israelitas que iam a Siló.

15Sim, mesmo antes de queimarem a gordura, o servo do sacerdote vinha e dizia ao homem que sacrificava: “Dê carne para assar para o sacerdote; pois ele não aceitará carne cozida de você, mas sim crua.”

16Se o homem lhe dissesse: “Queime-se primeiro a gordura, e depois pegue o quanto a sua alma desejar”; então o servo respondia: “Não, você deve me dar agora; caso contrário, tomarei à força.”

17O pecado dos jovens era muito grande perante o SENHOR, pois os homens desprezavam a oferta do SENHOR.

18Mas Samuel ministrava perante o SENHOR, sendo ainda menino, vestindo um éfode de linho.

19Além disso, a sua mãe lhe fazia uma pequena túnica e a levava para ele de ano em ano, quando subia com o seu marido para oferecer o sacrifício anual.

20Eli abençoava Elcana e a sua mulher, dizendo: “Que o SENHOR lhe dê descendência desta mulher, em lugar daquele que foi dedicado ao SENHOR.” Então eles voltavam para a sua casa.

21O SENHOR visitou Ana, e ela concebeu e deu à luz três filhos e duas filhas. O menino Samuel crescia perante o SENHOR.

22Ora, Eli era muito idoso; e ouvia tudo o que os seus filhos faziam a todo o Israel, e como se deitavam com as mulheres que serviam à porta da Tenda do Encontro.

23Ele lhes dizia: “Por que vocês fazem tais coisas? Pois eu ouço de todo este povo sobre os seus atos malignos.

24Não, meus filhos; pois não é bom o relato que escuto! Vocês fazem o povo do SENHOR pecar.

25Se um homem pecar contra outro, Deus o julgará; mas se um homem pecar contra o SENHOR, quem intercederá por ele?” Contudo, eles não deram ouvidos à voz de seu pai, porque o SENHOR tencionava matá-los.

26O menino Samuel crescia e aumentava em favor tanto para com o SENHOR como para com os homens.

27Um homem de Deus veio a Eli e lhe disse: “Assim diz o SENHOR: ‘Acaso não me revelei claramente à casa de seu pai, quando eles estavam no Egito, sujeitos à casa do faraó?

28Não o escolhi dentre todas as tribos de Israel para ser o meu sacerdote, para subir ao meu altar, para queimar incenso e para vestir um éfode perante mim? Não dei à casa de seu pai todas as ofertas dos filhos de Israel feitas pelo fogo?

29Por que vocês pisam nos meus sacrifícios e nas minhas ofertas, que ordenei na minha habitação, e honram os seus filhos mais do que a mim, para se engordarem com o melhor de todas as ofertas de Israel, o meu povo?’

30“Portanto, diz o SENHOR, o Deus de Israel: ‘Eu havia dito de fato que a sua casa e a casa de seu pai andariam perante mim para sempre.’ Mas agora o SENHOR diz: ‘Longe de mim tal coisa; pois honrarei os que me honram, e os que me desprezam serão amaldiçoados.

31Eis que vêm dias em que cortarei o seu braço e o braço da casa de seu pai, para que não haja nenhum idoso na sua casa.

32Você verá a aflição da minha habitação, em meio a toda a prosperidade que darei a Israel. E nunca mais haverá nenhum idoso na sua casa.

33E o único dos seus que eu não eliminar do meu altar será para consumir os seus olhos e entristecer o seu coração. Todos os descendentes da sua casa morrerão na flor da idade.

34E este será o sinal para você, que virá sobre os seus dois filhos, sobre Hofni e Fineias: ambos morrerão no mesmo dia.

35Levantarei para mim um sacerdote fiel, que agirá de acordo com o que está no meu coração e na minha mente. Eu lhe edificarei uma casa firme, e ele andará perante o meu ungido para sempre.

36E acontecerá que todo aquele que sobrar da sua casa virá e se prostrará diante dele por uma moeda de prata e um pedaço de pão, e dirá: “Por favor, coloque-me em um dos ofícios sacerdotais, para que eu tenha um pedaço de pão para comer.”’”

Reina-Valera 1909

1Y ANNA oró y dijo: mi corazón se regocija en Jehová, mi cuerno es ensalzado en Jehová; mi boca se ensanchó sobre mis enemigos, por cuanto me alegré en tu salud.

2No hay santo como Jehová: porque no hay ninguno fuera de ti; y no hay refugio como el Dios nuestro.

3No multipliquéis hablando grandezas, altanerías; cesen las palabras arrogantes de vuestra boca; porque el Dios de todo saber es Jehová, y á él toca el pesar las acciones.

4Los arcos de los fuertes fueron quebrados, y los flacos se ciñeron de fortaleza.

5Los hartos se alquilaron por pan: y cesaron los hambrientos: hasta parir siete la estéril, y la que tenía muchos hijos enfermó.

6Jehová mata, y él da vida: él hace descender al sepulcro, y hace subir.

7Jehová empobrece, y él enriquece: abate, y ensalza.

8El levanta del polvo al pobre, y al menesteroso ensalza del estiércol, para asentarlo con los príncipes; y hace que tengan por heredad asiento de honra: porque de Jehová son las columnas de la tierra, y él asentó sobre ellas el mundo.

9El guarda los pies de sus santos, mas los impíos perecen en tinieblas; porque nadie será fuerte por su fuerza.

10Delante de Jehová serán quebrantados sus adversarios, y sobre ellos tronará desde los cielos: Jehová juzgará los términos de la tierra, y dará fortaleza á su Rey, y ensalzará el cuerno de su Mesías.

11Y Elcana se volvió á su casa en Ramatha; y el niño ministraba á Jehová delante del sacerdote Eli.

12Mas los hijos de Eli eran hombres impíos, y no tenían conocimiento de Jehová.

13Y la costumbre de los sacerdotes con el pueblo era que, cuando alguno ofrecía sacrificio, venía el criado del sacerdote mientras la carne estaba á cocer, trayendo en su mano un garfio de tres ganchos;

14Y hería con él en la caldera, ó en la olla, ó en el caldero, ó en el pote; y todo lo que sacaba el garfio, el sacerdote lo tomaba para si. De esta manera hacían á todo Israelita que venía á Silo.

15Asimismo, antes de quemar el sebo, venía el criado del sacerdote, y decía al que sacrificaba: Da carne que ase para el sacerdote; porque no tomará de ti carne cocida, sino cruda.

16Y si le respondía el varón, Quemen luego el sebo hoy, y después toma tanta como quisieres; él respondía: No, sino ahora la has de dar: de otra manera yo la tomaré por fuerza.

17Era pues el pecado de los mozos muy grande delante de Jehová; porque los hombres menospreciaban los sacrificios de Jehová.

18Y el joven Samuel ministraba delante de Jehová, vestido de un ephod de lino.

19Y hacíale su madre una túnica pequeña, y traíasela cada año, cuando subía con su marido á ofrecer el sacrificio acostumbrado.

20Y Eli bendijo á Elcana y á su mujer, diciendo: Jehová te dé simiente de esta mujer en lugar de esta petición que hizo á Jehová. Y volviéronse á su casa.

21Y visitó Jehová á Anna, y concibió, y parió tres hijos, y dos hijas. Y el joven Samuel crecía delante de Jehová.

22Eli empero era muy viejo, y oyó todo lo que sus hijos hacían á todo Israel, y como dormían con las mujeres que velaban á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio.

23Y díjoles: ¿Por qué hacéis cosas semejantes? Porque yo oigo de todo este pueblo vuestros malos procederes.

24No, hijos míos; porque no es buena fama la que yo oigo: que hacéis pecar al pueblo de Jehová.

25Si pecare el hombre contra el hombre, los jueces le juzgarán; mas si alguno pecare contra Jehová, ¿quién rogará por él? Mas ellos no oyeron la voz de su padre, porque Jehová los quería matar.

26Y el joven Samuel iba creciendo, y adelantando delante de Dios y delante de los hombres.

27Y vino un varón de Dios á Eli, y díjole: Así ha dicho Jehová: ¿No me manifesté yo claramente á la casa de tu padre, cuando estaban en Egipto en casa de Faraón?

28Y yo le escogí por mi sacerdote entre todas las tribus de Israel, para que ofreciese sobre mi altar, y quemase perfume, y trajese ephod delante de mí; y dí á la casa de tu padre todas las ofrendas de los hijos de Israel.

29¿Por qué habéis hollado mis sacrificios y mis presentes, que yo mandé ofrecer en el tabernáculo; y has honrado á tus hijos más que á mí, engordándoos de lo principal de todas las ofrendas de mi pueblo Israel?

30Por tanto, Jehová el Dios de Israel dice: Yo había dicho que tu casa y la casa de tu padre andarían delante de mí perpetuamente; mas ahora ha dicho Jehová: Nunca yo tal haga, porque yo honraré á los que me honran, y los que me tuvieren en poco, serán viles.

31He aquí vienen días, en que cortaré tu brazo, y el brazo de la casa de tu padre, que no haya viejo en tu casa.

32Y verás competidor en el tabernáculo, en todas las cosas en que hiciere bien á Israel; y en ningún tiempo habrá viejo en tu casa.

33Y no te cortaré del todo varón de mi altar, para hacerte marchitar tus ojos, y henchir tu ánimo de dolor; mas toda la cría de tu casa morirá en la edad varonil.

34Y te será por señal esto que acontecerá á tus dos hijos, Ophni y Phinees: ambos morirán en un día.

35Y yo me suscitaré un sacerdote fiel, que haga conforme á mi corazón y á mi alma; y yo le edificaré casa firme, y andará delante de mi ungido todos los días.

36Y será que el que hubiere quedado en tu casa, vendrá á postrársele por un dinero de plata y un bocado de pan, diciéndole: Ruégote que me constituyas en algún ministerio, para que coma un bocado de pan.

King James Version

1And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.

2There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.

3Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

4The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.

5They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.

6The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.

7The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.

8He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s, and he hath set the world upon them.

9He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.

10The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.

11And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the LORD before Eli the priest.

12Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.

13And the priests’ custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest’s servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand;

14And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither.

15Also before they burnt the fat, the priest’s servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw.

16And if any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, Nay; but thou shalt give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force.

17Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.

18But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.

19Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.

20And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went unto their own home.

21And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.

22Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

23And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.

24Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD’s people to transgress.

25If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them.

26And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the LORD, and also with men.

27And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh’s house?

28And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?

29Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?

30Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

31Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father’s house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house.

32And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever.

33And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age.

34And this shall be a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.

35And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever.

36And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thine house shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests’ offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.

World English Bible

1Hannah prayed, and said, “My heart exults in the LORD! My horn is exalted in the LORD. My mouth is enlarged over my enemies, because I rejoice in your salvation.

2There is no one as holy as the LORD, for there is no one besides you, nor is there any rock like our God.

3“Don’t keep talking so exceedingly proudly. Don’t let arrogance come out of your mouth, for the LORD is a God of knowledge. By him actions are weighed.

4“The bows of the mighty men are broken. Those who stumbled are armed with strength.

5Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread. Those who were hungry are satisfied. Yes, the barren has borne seven. She who has many children languishes.

6“The LORD kills and makes alive. He brings down to Sheol and brings up.

7The LORD makes poor and makes rich. He brings low, he also lifts up.

8He raises up the poor out of the dust. He lifts up the needy from the dunghill to make them sit with princes and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s. He has set the world on them.

9He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness; for no man will prevail by strength.

10Those who strive with the LORD shall be broken to pieces. He will thunder against them in the sky. “The LORD will judge the ends of the earth. He will give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.”

11Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. The child served the LORD before Eli the priest.

12Now the sons of Eli were wicked men. They didn’t know the LORD.

13The custom of the priests with the people was that when anyone offered a sacrifice, the priest’s servant came while the meat was boiling, with a fork of three teeth in his hand;

14and he stabbed it into the pan, or kettle, or cauldron, or pot. The priest took all that the fork brought up for himself. They did this to all the Israelites who came there to Shiloh.

15Yes, before they burned the fat, the priest’s servant came, and said to the man who sacrificed, “Give meat to roast for the priest; for he will not accept boiled meat from you, but raw.”

16If the man said to him, “Let the fat be burned first, and then take as much as your soul desires;” then he would say, “No, but you shall give it to me now; and if not, I will take it by force.”

17The sin of the young men was very great before the LORD; for the men despised the LORD’s offering.

18But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, clothed with a linen ephod.

19Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him from year to year when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.

20Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, “May the LORD give you offspring from this woman for the petition which was asked of the LORD.” Then they went to their own home.

21The LORD visited Hannah, and she conceived and bore three sons and two daughters. The child Samuel grew before the LORD.

22Now Eli was very old; and he heard all that his sons did to all Israel, and how that they slept with the women who served at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

23He said to them, “Why do you do such things? For I hear of your evil dealings from all these people.

24No, my sons; for it is not a good report that I hear! You make the LORD’s people disobey.

25If one man sins against another, God will judge him; but if a man sins against the LORD, who will intercede for him?” Notwithstanding, they didn’t listen to the voice of their father, because the LORD intended to kill them.

26The child Samuel grew on, and increased in favor both with the LORD and also with men.

27A man of God came to Eli and said to him, “The LORD says, ‘Did I reveal myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt in bondage to Pharaoh’s house?

28Didn’t I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? Didn’t I give to the house of your father all the offerings of the children of Israel made by fire?

29Why do you kick at my sacrifice and at my offering, which I have commanded in my habitation, and honor your sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of Israel my people?’

30“Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘I said indeed that your house and the house of your father should walk before me forever.’ But now the LORD says, ‘Far be it from me; for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me will be cursed.

31Behold, the days come that I will cut off your arm and the arm of your father’s house, that there will not be an old man in your house.

32You will see the affliction of my habitation, in all the wealth which I will give Israel. There shall not be an old man in your house forever.

33The man of yours whom I don’t cut off from my altar will consume your eyes and grieve your heart. All the increase of your house will die in the flower of their age.

34This will be the sign to you that will come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they will both die.

35I will raise up a faithful priest for myself who will do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind. I will build him a sure house. He will walk before my anointed forever.

36It will happen that everyone who is left in your house will come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and will say, “Please put me into one of the priests’ offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread.”’”
