1 Samuel 19
1 E fallou Saul a Jonathan, seu filho, e a todos os seus servos, para que matassem a David. Porém Jonathan, filho de Saul, estava mui affeiçoado a David.
And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should slay David; but Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David.
2 E Jonathan o annunciou a David, dizendo: Meu pae, Saul, procura matar-te, pelo que agora guarda-te pela manhã, e fica-te em occulto, e esconde-te.
And Jonathan told David, saying: 'Saul my father seeketh to slay thee; now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself in the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself.
3 E sairei eu, e estarei á mão de meu pae no campo em que estiveres, e eu fallarei de ti a meu pae, e verei o que houver, e t'o annunciarei.
And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and I will speak with my father of thee; and if I see aught, I will tell thee.'
4 Então Jonathan fallou bem de David a Saul, seu pae, e disse-lhe: Não peque o rei contra seu servo David, porque elle não peccou contra ti, e porque os seus feitos te são mui bons.
And Jonathan spoke good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him: 'Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his work hath been very good towards thee;
5 Porque poz a sua alma na mão, e feriu aos philisteos, e fez o Senhor um grande livramento a todo o Israel; tu mesmo o viste, e te alegraste: porque, pois, peccarias contra o sangue innocente, matando a David sem causa?
for he put his life in his hand, and smote the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great victory for all Israel; thou sawest it, and didst rejoice; wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?'
6 E Saul deu ouvidos á voz de Jonathan, e jurou Saul: Vive o Senhor, que não morrerá.
And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore: 'As the LORD liveth, he shall not be put to death.'
7 E Jonathan chamou a David, e contou-lhe todas estas palavras: e Jonathan levou David a Saul, e esteve perante elle como d'antes.
And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as beforetime.
8 E tornou a haver guerra: e saiu David, e pelejou contra os philisteos, e feriu-os de grande ferida, e fugiram diante d'elle.
And there was war again; and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.
9 Porém o espirito mau da parte do Senhor se tornou sobre Saul, estando elle assentado em sua casa, e tendo na mão a sua lança, e tangendo David com a mão o instrumento de musica.
And an evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing with his hand.
10 E procurava Saul encravar a David com a parede, porém elle se desviou de diante de Saul, o qual feriu com a lança na parede: então fugiu David, e escapou n'aquella mesma noite.
And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the spear into the wall; and David fled, and escaped that night.
11 Porém Saul mandou mensageiros á casa de David, que o guardassem, e o matassem pela manhã: do que Michal, sua mulher, avisou a David, dizendo: Se não salvares a tua vida esta noite, ámanhã te matarão.
And Saul sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning; and Michal David's wife told him, saying: 'If thou save not thy life to-night, to-morrow thou shalt be slain.'
12 Então Michal desceu a David por uma janella: e elle se foi, e fugiu, e escapou.
So Michal let David down through the window; and he went, and fled, and escaped.
13 E Michal tomou uma estatua e a deitou na cama, e poz-lhe á cabeceira uma pelle de cabra, e a cobriu com uma coberta.
And Michal took the teraphim, and laid it in the bed, and put a quilt of goats' hair at the head thereof, and covered it with a cloth.
14 E, mandando Saul mensageiros que trouxessem a David, ella disse: Está doente.
And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said: 'He is sick.'
15 Então Saul mandou mensageiros que viessem a David, dizendo: Trazei-m'o na cama, para que o mate.
And Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying: 'Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.'
16 Vindo pois os mensageiros, eis aqui a estatua na cama, e a pelle de cabra á sua cabeceira.
And when the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the quilt of goats' hair at the head thereof.
17 Então disse Saul a Michal: Porque assim me enganaste, e deixaste ir e escapar o meu inimigo? E disse Michal a Saul: Porque elle me disse: Deixa-me ir, porque hei de eu matar-te?
And Saul said unto Michal: 'Why hast thou deceived me thus, and let mine enemy go, that he is escaped?' And Michal answered Saul: 'He said unto me: Let me go; why should I kill thee?'
18 Assim David fugiu e escapou, e veiu a Samuel, a Rama, e lhe participou tudo quanto Saul lhe fizera: e foram, elle e Samuel, e ficaram em Naioth.
Now David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.
19 E o annunciaram a Saul, dizendo: Eis que David está em Naioth, em Rama.
And it was told Saul, saying: 'Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.'
20 Então enviou Saul mensageiros para trazerem a David, os quaes viram uma congregação de prophetas prophetizando, onde estava Samuel que presidia sobre elles: e o espirito de Deus veiu sobre os mensageiros de Saul, e tambem elles prophetizaram.
And Saul sent messengers to take David; and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
21 E, avisado d'isto Saul, enviou outros mensageiros, e tambem estes prophetizaram: então enviou Saul ainda uns terceiros mensageiros, os quaes tambem prophetizaram.
And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
22 Então foi tambem elle mesmo a Rama, e chegou ao poço grande que estava em Secu; e, perguntando, disse: Onde estão Samuel e David? E disseram-lhe: Eis que estão em Naioth, em Rama.
Then went he also to Ramah, and came to the great cistern that is in Secu; and he asked and said: 'Where are Samuel and David?' And one said: 'Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.'
23 Então foi-se lá para Naioth, em Rama: e o mesmo espirito de Deus veiu sobre elle, e ia prophetizando, até chegar a Naioth, em Rama.
And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah; and the spirit of God came upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
24 E elle tambem despiu os seus vestidos, e elle tambem prophetizou diante de Samuel, e esteve nú por terra todo aquelle dia e toda aquella noite; pelo que se diz: Está tambem Saul entre os prophetas?
And he also stripped off his clothes, and he also prophesied before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say: 'Is Saul also among the prophets?'
