1 Samuel 19
1 Then Saul urged all his servants and his son Jonathan to kill David. But Jonathan liked David very much.
E falou Saul a Jonathan, seu filho, e a todos os seus servos, para que matassem a David. Porém Jonathan, filho de Saul, estava mui afeiçoado a David.
2 So he warned David, “My father Saul is seeking for a way to kill you. So be careful. Tomorrow morning go and find a place to hide [in the field].
E Jonathan o anunciou a David, dizendo: Meu pai, Saul, procura matar-te, pelo que agora guarda-te pela manhã, e fica-te em oculto, e esconde-te.
3 I will ask my father to go out there with me. [While we are out there], I will talk to him about you. Then I will tell you everything that he tells me.” [So David did what Jonathan told him to do].
E sairei eu, e estarei à mão de meu pai no campo em que estiveres, e eu falarei de ti a meu pai, e verei o que houver, e to anunciarei.
4 [The next morning], Jonathan spoke with his father, saying many good things about David. He said, “You should never do anything to harm your servant David! He has never done anything to harm you! Everything that he has done has helped you very much.
Então Jonathan falou bem de David a Saul, seu pai, e disse-lhe: Não peque o rei contra seu servo David, porque ele não pecou contra ti, e porque os seus feitos te são mui bons.
5 He was in danger of being killed when he fought against [Goliath, the champion of] the Philistia [army. By enabling David to kill him], Yahweh won a great victory for all the people of Israel. You were very happy when you saw that. Why would you want to do anything now to harm David [RHQ]? There is no reason for you to kill him, because he has not done anything wrong!”
Porque pôs a sua alma na mão, e feriu aos philisteus, e fez o Senhor um grande livramento a todo o Israel; tu mesmo o viste, e te alegraste: porque, pois, pecarias contra o sangue inocente, matando a David sem causa?
6 Saul listened to what Jonathan said. Then Saul said, “I solemnly promise that just as certain as Yahweh lives, I will not kill David.”
E Saul deu ouvidos à voz de Jonathan, e jurou Saul: Vive o Senhor, que não morrerá.
7 Afterward, Jonathan summoned David and told him what he and Saul had said. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and David served Saul as he had done before.
E Jonathan chamou a David, e contou-lhe todas estas palavras: e Jonathan levou David a Saul, e esteve perante ele como de antes.
8 One day a war started again, and David [led his soldiers to] fight against the Philistia army. David’s [army] attacked them very furiously, with the result that the Philistia army ran away.
E tornou a haver guerra: e saiu David, e pelejou contra os philisteus, e feriu-os de grande ferida, e fugiram diante dele.
9 But one day when sitting in his house, an evil spirit [sent] from Yahweh [suddenly] came upon Saul. While David was playing his harp [for Saul],
Porém o espírito mau da parte do Senhor se tornou sobre Saul, estando ele assentado em sua casa, e tendo na mão a sua lança, e tangendo David com a mão o instrumento de música.
10 Saul hurled his spear at David to try to fasten him to the wall. David (dodged/jumped to one side), and the spear did not hit him. The spear stuck in the wall, but that night David escaped.
E procurava Saul encravar a David com a parede, porém ele se desviou de diante de Saul, o qual feriu com a lança na parede: então fugiu David, e escapou naquela mesma noite.
11 Then Saul sent messengers to David’s house. He told them to watch the house and to kill David [while he was leaving the house] the following morning. But David’s wife Michal [saw them and] warned him, “To survive, you must run away tonight, because if you do not do that, you will be killed tomorrow!”
Porém Saul mandou mensageiros à 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, amanhã te matarão.
12 So she enabled David to climb out through a window, and he ran away and escaped.
Então Michal desceu a David por uma janela: e ele se foi, e fugiu, e escapou.
13 Then Michal took an idol and put it in the bed. She covered it with some [of David’s] clothes, and put some goat’s hair on the head of the idol.
E Michal tomou uma estátua e a deitou na cama, e pôs-lhe à cabeceira uma pele de cabra, e a cobriu com uma coberta.
14 When the messengers came [to the house the next morning], she told them that David was sick [and could not get out of bed].
E, mandando Saul mensageiros que trouxessem a David, ela disse: Está doente.
15 [When they reported that to] Saul, he told them to go back to David’s house. He said to them, “Bring him to me lying on his bed, in order that I can kill him!”
Então Saul mandou mensageiros que viessem a David, dizendo: trazei-mo na cama, para que o mate.
16 But when those men entered David’s house, they saw that there was only an idol in the bed, with goat’s hair on its head.
Vindo pois os mensageiros, eis aqui a estátua na cama, e a pele de cabra à sua cabeceira.
17 [When they reported that to Saul, ] Saul [summoned] Michal [and] said to her, “Why did you trick me like that? You allowed my enemy to escape!” Michal replied to Saul, “David told me that if I did not help him escape, he would kill me!” [RHQ]
Então disse Saul a Michal: Porque assim me enganaste, e deixaste ir e escapar o meu inimigo? E disse Michal a Saul: Porque ele me disse: Deixa-me ir, porque hei de eu matar-te?
18 After David had escaped from Saul, he went to Samuel, who was [at his home] at Ramah. He told Samuel everything that Saul had done to [try to kill] him. Then David and Samuel went to Naioth, [which was a section] of [Ramah city], and they stayed there.
Assim David fugiu e escapou, e veio a Samuel, a Rama, e lhe participou tudo quanto Saul lhe fizera: e foram, ele e Samuel, e ficaram em Naioth.
19 Someone told Saul that David was in Naioth.
E o anunciaram a Saul, dizendo: Eis que David está em Naioth, em Rama.
20 So Saul sent some messengers to capture David. [When] those messengers [arrived in Ramah, they] met some men who were proclaiming ecstatic messages, and Samuel was there, as their leader. When Saul’s messengers met them, the Spirit of God took control of Saul’s men, and they also spoke ecstatically.
Então enviou Saul mensageiros para trazerem a David, os quais viram uma congregação de profetas profetizando, onde estava Samuel que presidia sobre eles: e o espírito de Deus veio sobre os mensageiros de Saul, e também eles profetizaram.
21 When Saul heard about that, he sent messengers a third time, but they also started to speak ecstatically.
E, avisado disto Saul, enviou outros mensageiros, e também estes profetizaram: então enviou Saul ainda uns terceiros mensageiros, os quais também profetizaram.
22 Finally, Saul himself went to Ramah. When he arrived at the well at [a place named] Secu, he asked people there, “Where are Samuel and David?” The people replied, “They are at Naioth in Ramah [city].”
Então foi também ele 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.
23 While Saul was walking toward Naioth, the Spirit of God also took control of him. [While he walked on], he continued speaking ecstatic messages until he came to Naioth.
Então foi-se lá para Naioth, em Rama: e o mesmo espírito de Deus veio sobre ele, e ia profetizando, até chegar a Naioth, em Rama.
24 There he took off his clothes, and he spoke messages from God in front of Samuel. He lay on the ground doing that all day and all night. That is the reason that [when people see someone doing something that is very unexpected, they think about what happened to Saul, and] they say, “We are surprised, like the people were surprised to see Saul [acting like] a prophet?” [RHQ]
E ele também despiu os seus vestidos, e ele também profetizou diante de Samuel, e esteve nu por terra todo aquele dia e toda aquela noite; pelo que se diz: Está também Saul entre os profetas?
