1 Samuel 18
1 Quando ele terminou de falar com Saul, a alma de Jonathan foi tricotada com a alma de David, e Jonathan o amava como se fosse sua própria alma.
And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
2 Saul o levou naquele dia, e não o deixou mais voltar para casa de seu pai.
And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.
3 Então Jonathan e David fizeram um pacto, porque o amavam como se fosse sua própria alma.
Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
4 Jonathan se despiu do manto que estava sobre ele e o deu a David com suas roupas, incluindo até mesmo sua espada, seu arco e sua faixa.
And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that [was] upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
5 David saiu para onde Saul o enviou, e se comportou sabiamente; e Saul o colocou sobre os homens de guerra. Foi bom aos olhos de todo o povo, e também aos olhos dos servos de Saul.
And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, [and] behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
6 Quando chegaram, quando Davi voltou da matança do filisteu, as mulheres saíram de todas as cidades de Israel, cantando e dançando, para encontrar o rei Saul com pandeiros, com alegria e com instrumentos de música.
And it came to pass as they came, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of music.
7 As mulheres cantaram umas para as outras enquanto tocavam, e disseram, “Saul matou seus milhares, e David seus dez mil”.
And the women answered [one another] as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
8 Saul estava muito irritado, e este ditado o desagradou. Ele disse: “Eles creditaram a David dez mil, e só me creditaram a mim milhares. O que ele pode ter mais a não ser o reino”?
And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed thousands; and [what] can he have more but the kingdom?
9 Saul observou Davi daquele dia em diante.
And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
10 No dia seguinte, um espírito maligno de Deus veio poderosamente sobre Saul, e ele profetizou no meio da casa. David brincou com sua mão, como fazia dia após dia. Saul tinha sua lança na mão;
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and [there was] a javelin in Saul's hand.
11 e Saul atirou a lança, pois disse: “Vou prender Davi à parede”. Davi escapou de sua presença duas vezes.
And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall. And David escaped from his presence twice.
12 Saul tinha medo de Davi, porque Iavé estava com ele, e havia se afastado de Saul.
And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and had departed from Saul.
13 Therefore Saul o retirou de sua presença, e o fez seu capitão mais de mil; e ele saiu e entrou diante do povo.
Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
14 David comportou-se sabiamente em todos os seus modos; e Yahweh estava com ele.
And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD [was] with him.
15 Quando Saul viu que ele se comportava muito sabiamente, ele ficou admirado com ele.
Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him.
16 Mas todo Israel e Judá amavam Davi; pois ele saía e entrava diante deles.
But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.
17 Saul disse a Davi: “Eis minha filha mais velha, Merab. Eu a darei a você como esposa. Sede valentes somente para mim, e travai as batalhas de Iavé”. Pois Saul disse: “Não deixe que minha mão esteja sobre ele, mas que a mão dos filisteus esteja sobre ele”.
And Saul said to David, Behold, my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee for a wife: only be thou valiant for me, and fight the LORD'S battles. For Saul said, Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.
18 David disse a Saul: “Quem sou eu, e o que é minha vida, ou a família de meu pai em Israel, que eu deveria ser genro do rei”?
And David said to Saul, Who [am] I? and what [is] my life, [or] my father's family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?
19 Mas na época em que Merab, filha de Saul, deveria ter sido dada a David, ela foi dada a Adriel, o Meholathite, como esposa.
But it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul's daughter should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite to wife.
20 Michal, a filha de Saul, amava David; e eles disseram a Saul, e a coisa o agradou.
And Michal Saul's daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
21 Saul disse, eu a darei a ele, que ela pode ser uma armadilha para ele e que a mão dos filisteus pode estar contra ele. Por isso, Saul disse a Davi uma segunda vez: “Tu serás hoje meu genro”.
And Saul said, I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son-in-law, in [the one of] the two.
22 Saul ordenou a seus servos: “Falai em segredo com Davi e dizei: 'Eis que o rei tem prazer em vós, e todos os seus servos vos amam'. Agora, portanto, sede genro do rei”.
And Saul commanded his servants, [saying], Commune with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: now therefore be the king's son-in-law.
23 Os criados de Saul pronunciaram essas palavras aos ouvidos de David. David disse: “Parece-lhe uma coisa leve ser genro do rei, já que sou um homem pobre e pouco conhecido”?
And Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you [a] light [thing] to be a king's son-in-law, seeing that I [am] a poor man, and lightly esteemed?
24 Os criados de Saul disseram a ele, dizendo: “David falou assim”.
And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spoke David.
25 Saul disse: “Diga a David: 'O rei não deseja nenhum dote, exceto cem prepúcios dos filisteus, para se vingar dos inimigos do rei'”. Agora Saul pensava que faria Davi cair pela mão dos filisteus.
And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dower, but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
26 Quando seus servos disseram a Davi estas palavras, agradou bem a Davi ser genro do rei. Antes do prazo,
And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law: and the days had not expired.
27 David levantou-se e foi, ele e seus homens, e matou duzentos homens dos filisteus. Então Davi trouxe seus prepúcios, e eles os deram em número total ao rei, para que ele pudesse ser genro do rei. Então Saul deu a ele Michal sua filha como esposa.
Wherefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter for a wife.
28 Saul viu e sabia que Yahweh estava com David; e Michal, filha de Saul, o amava.
And Saul saw and knew that the LORD [was] with David, and [that] Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him.
29 Saul tinha ainda mais medo de Davi; e Saul era o inimigo de Davi continuamente.
And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David's enemy continually.
30 Então os príncipes dos filisteus saíram; e, tantas vezes quanto eles saíam, Davi se comportava mais sabiamente do que todos os servos de Saul, de modo que seu nome era muito estimado.
Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass after they went forth, [that] David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much esteemed.
