< 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.
Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul’s son, greatly delighted 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.
Jonathan told David, saying, “Saul my father seeks to kill you. Now therefore, please take care of yourself in the morning, live in a secret place, and hide yourself.
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.
I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will talk with my father about you; and if I see anything, I will tell you.”
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.
Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, “Don’t let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good towards you;
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 struck the Philistine, and the LORD worked a great victory for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?”
6 E Saul deu ouvidos á voz de Jonathan, e jurou Saul: Vive o Senhor, que não morrerá.
Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore, “As the LORD lives, 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.
Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as 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.
There was war again. David went out and fought with the Philistines, and killed 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.
An evil spirit from the LORD was on Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing music 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.
Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence; and he stuck the spear into the wall. 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 sent messengers to David’s house to watch him and to kill him in the morning. Michal, David’s wife, told him, saying, “If you don’t save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”
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. He went away, 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.
Michal took the teraphim and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats’ hair at its head and covered it with clothes.
14 E, mandando Saul mensageiros que trouxessem a David, ella disse: Está doente.
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.
Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.”
16 Vindo pois os mensageiros, eis aqui a estatua na cama, e a pelle de cabra á sua cabeceira.
When the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats’ hair 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?
Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me like this and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?” Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go! Why should I kill you?’”
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 at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. He and Samuel went and lived in Naioth.
19 E o annunciaram a Saul, dizendo: Eis que David está em Naioth, em Rama.
Saul was told, 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.
Saul sent messengers to seize David; and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, God’s Spirit came on Saul’s messengers, 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.
When Saul was told, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. 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 he also went to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu: and he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” 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.
He went there to Naioth in Ramah. Then God’s Spirit came on 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?
He also stripped off his clothes. He also prophesied before Samuel and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, “Is Saul also amongst the prophets?”
