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 kill David. But Jonathan the son of Saul loved David exceedingly.
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 kill thee: wherefore look to thyself, I beseech thee, in the morning, and thou shalt abide in a secret place and shalt be hid.
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 of thee to my father, and whatsoever I shall see, 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 things of David to Saul his father: and said to him: Sin not, O king, against thy servant, David, because he hath not sinned against thee, and his works are 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?
And he put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the Lord wrought great salvation for all Israel. Thou sawest it and didst rejoice. Why therefore wilt thou sin against innocent blood by killing David, who is without fault?
6 E Saul deu ouvidos á voz de Jonathan, e jurou Saul: Vive o Senhor, que não morrerá.
And when Saul heard this he was appeased with the words of Jonathan, and swore: As the Lord liveth he shall not be slain.
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.
Then Jonathan called David and told him all these words: and Jonathan brought in David to Saul, and he was before him, as he had been yesterday and the day before.
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 the war began again, and David went out and fought against the Philistines, and defeated them with a great slaughter, and they fled from his face.
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 the evil spirit from the Lord came upon Saul, and he sat in his house, and held a spear in his hand: and David played 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 endeavoured to nail David to the wall with his spear. And David slipt away out of the presence of Saul: and the spear missed him, and was fastened in 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.
Saul therefore sent his guards to David’s house to watch him, that he might be killed in the morning. And when Michol David’s wife had told him this, saying: Unless thou save thyself this night, tomorrow thou wilt die,
12 Então Michal desceu a David por uma janella: e elle se foi, e fugiu, e escapou.
She let him down through a window. And he went and fled away 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 Michol took an image and laid it on the bed, and put a goat’s skin with the hair at the head of it, and covered it with clothes.
14 E, mandando Saul mensageiros que trouxessem a David, ella disse: Está doente.
And Saul sent officers to seize David: and it was answered that he was sick.
15 Então Saul mandou mensageiros que viessem a David, dizendo: Trazei-m'o na cama, para que o mate.
And again Saul sent to see David, saying: Bring him to me in the bed, that he may be slain.
16 Vindo pois os mensageiros, eis aqui a estatua na cama, e a pelle de cabra á sua cabeceira.
And when the messengers were come in, they found an image upon the bed, and a goat’s skin at its head.
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 to Michol: Why hast thou deceived me so, and let my enemy go and flee away? And Michol answered Saul: Because he said to me: Let me go, or else I will 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.
But David fled and escaped, and came to Samuel in Ramatha, and told him all that Saul had done to him: and he and Samuel went and dwelt in Najoth.
19 E o annunciaram a Saul, dizendo: Eis que David está em Naioth, em Rama.
And it was told Saul by some, saying: Behold David is in Najoth in Ramatha.
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.
So Saul sent officers to take David: and when they saw a company of prophets prophesying, and Samuel presiding over them, the spirit of the Lord came also upon them, and they likewise began to prophesy.
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 this was told Saul, he sent other messengers: but they also prophesied. And again Saul sent messengers the third time: and they prophesied also. And Saul being exceedingly angry,
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.
Went also himself to Ramatha, and came as far as the great cistern, which is in Socho, and he asked, and said: In what place are Samuel and David? And it was told him: Behold they axe in Najoth in Ramatha.
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 to Najoth in Ramatha, and the spirit of the Lord came upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied till he came to Najoth in Ramatha.
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 stripped himself also of his garments, and prophesied with the rest before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and night. This gave occasion to a proverb: What! is Saul too among the prophets?
