1 Samuel 18
1 Y después que él hubo acabado de hablar con Saul, el alma de Jonatán fue ligada con la de David, y amóle Jonatán como a su alma.
And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
2 Y Saul le tomó aquel día, y no le dejó volver a casa de su padre.
And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.
3 E hicieron alianza Jonatán y David, porque él le amaba como a su alma.
Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul.
4 Y Jonatán se desnudó la ropa que tenía sobre sí, y dióla a David, y otras ropas suyas, hasta su espada y su arco, con su talabarte.
And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his apparel, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
5 Y salía David, donde quiera que Saul le enviaba, y conducíase prudentemente. Y Saul le hizo capitán de gente de guerra, y era acepto en los ojos de todo el pueblo, y en los ojos de los criados de Saul.
And David went out; whithersoever Saul sent him, he had good success; and Saul set him over the men of war; and it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
6 Y aconteció que como ellos volvieron, y David volvió de matar al Filisteo, salieron las mujeres de todas las ciudades de Israel cantando, y con danzas, con adufes, y con alegrías y panderos a recibir al rey Saul.
And it came to pass as they came, when David 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 timbrels, with joy, and with three-stringed instruments.
7 Y cantaban las mujeres que danzaban y decían: Saul hirió sus miles, y David sus diez miles.
And the women sang one to another in their play, and said: Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
8 Y enojóse Saul en gran manera, y desagradó esta palabra en sus ojos, y dijo: A David dieron diez miles y a mí miles: no le queda más que el reino.
And Saul was very wroth, and this saying displeased him; and he said: 'They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands; and all he lacketh is the kingdom!'
9 Y desde aquel día Saul miró de través a David.
And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
10 Otro día aconteció que el espíritu malo de Dios tomó a Saul, y profetizaba dentro de su casa; y David tañía con su mano como los otros días; y estaba una lanza a mano de Saul.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that an evil spirit from God came mightily upon Saul, and he raved in the midst of the house; and David played with his hand, as he did day by day; and Saul had his spear in his hand.
11 Y arrojó Saul la lanza, diciendo: Enclavaré a David con la pared; y dos veces se apartó de él David.
And Saul cast the spear; for he said: 'I will smite David even to the wall.' And David stepped aside out of his presence twice.
12 Mas Saul se temía de David, por cuanto Jehová era con él, y se había apartado de Saul.
And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul.
13 Y Saul le apartó de sí, e hízole capitán de mil, y salía y entraba delante del pueblo.
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 Y David se conducía prudentemente en todos sus negocios, y Jehová era con él.
And David had great success in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.
15 Y viendo Saul que se conducía tan prudentemente, temíase de él.
And when Saul saw that he had great success, he stood in awe of him.
16 Mas todo Israel y Judá amaba a David, porque él salía y entraba delante de ellos.
But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
17 Y dijo Saul a David: He aquí, yo te daré a Merob mi hija mayor por mujer: solamente porque me seas valiente hombre, y hagas las guerras de Jehová. Mas Saul decía en sí: No será mi mano contra él, mas la mano de los Filisteos será contra él.
And Saul said to David: 'Behold my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee to 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 Y David respondió a Saul: ¿Quién soy yo, o qué es mi vida, o la familia de mi padre en Israel, para ser yerno del rey?
And David said unto 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 Y venido el tiempo en que Merob, hija de Saul, se había de dar a David, fue dada por mujer a Adriel Meholatita.
But it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul's daughter should have been given to David, that she was given unto Adriel the Meholathite to wife.
20 Mas Micol la otra hija de Saul amaba a David; y fue dicho a Saul, lo cual plugo en sus ojos.
And Michal Saul's daughter loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
21 Y Saul dijo en sí: Yo se la daré, para que le sea por lazo: y para que la mano de los Filisteos sea contra él. Y dijo Saul a David: Con la otra serás mi yerno hoy.
And Saul said: 'I will give him her, 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 through the one of the twain.'
22 Y Saul mandó a sus criados: Hablád en secreto a David, diciéndole: He aquí, el rey te ama, y todos sus criados te quieren bien, sé pues yerno del rey.
And Saul commanded his servants: 'Speak 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 Y los criados de Saul hablaron estas palabras a los oídos de David: y David dijo: ¿Pareceos a vosotros que es poco ser yerno del rey, siendo yo un hombre pobre y de ninguna estima?
And Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said: 'Seemeth it to you a light thing to be the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?'
24 Y los criados de Saul le dieron la respuesta, diciendo: Tales palabras ha dicho David.
And the servants of Saul told him, saying: 'On this manner spoke David.'
25 Y Saul dijo: Decíd así a David: No está el contentamiento del rey en el dote, sino en cien prepucios de Filisteos, para que sea tomada venganza de los enemigos del rey. Mas Saul pensaba echar a David en las manos de los Filisteos.
And Saul said: 'Thus shall ye say to David: The king desireth not any dowry, but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies.' For Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
26 Y como sus criados declararon a David estas palabras, plugo la cosa en los ojos de David, de ser yerno del rey. Y el plazo no era aun cumplido.
And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. And the days were not expired;
27 Y David se levantó y partióse con sus varones, e hirió doscientos hombres de los Filisteos, y David trajo los prepucios de ellos, y entregáronlos todos al rey, para que él fuese hecho yerno del rey: y Saul le dio a su hija Micol por mujer.
and 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 to wife.
28 Y Saul viendo y considerando que Jehová era con David, y que su hija Micol le amaba,
And Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David; and Michal Saul's daughter loved him.
29 Temióse más Saul de David, y fue Saul enemigo de David todos los días.
And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was David's enemy continually.
30 Y salían los príncipes de los Filisteos; y como ellos salían, David se conducía más prudentemente que todos los siervos de Saul: y su nombre era muy ilustre.
Then the princes of the Philistines went forth; and it came to pass, as often as they went forth, that David prospered more than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by.
