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.
When he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was bound to 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.
Saul took David into his service that day; he did not let him return to his father's house.
3 E hicieron alianza Jonatán y David, porque él le amaba como a su alma.
Then Jonathan and David made a covenant of friendship because Jonathan 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.
Jonathan took off the robe that he was wearing and gave it to David with his armor, as well as his sword, bow, and belt.
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.
David went out wherever Saul sent him, and he succeeded. Saul set him over the men of war. This was pleasing in the eyes 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.
As they came home from defeating the Philistines, the women came from all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with musical instruments.
7 Y cantaban las mujeres que danzaban y decían: Saul hirió sus miles, y David sus diez miles.
The women sang one to another as they played. They sang: “Saul has killed 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.
Saul was very angry, and this song displeased him. He said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, but they have ascribed only thousands to me. What more can he have but the monarchy?”
9 Y desde aquel día Saul miró de través a David.
Saul looked at David with suspicion from that day on.
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.
The next day a harmful spirit from God rushed upon Saul and he raved within the house. So David played his instrument, as he did each day. Saul had a 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.
Saul threw the spear, for he thought, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David escaped from Saul's presence twice in this way.
12 Mas Saul se temía de David, por cuanto Jehová era con él, y se había apartado de Saul.
Saul was afraid of David, because Yahweh was with him, but was no longer with Saul.
13 Y Saul le apartó de sí, e hízole capitán de mil, y salía y entraba delante del pueblo.
So Saul removed him from his presence and appointed him a commander of a thousand. In this way David went out and came in before the people.
14 Y David se conducía prudentemente en todos sus negocios, y Jehová era con él.
David was prospering in all his ways, for Yahweh was with him.
15 Y viendo Saul que se conducía tan prudentemente, temíase de él.
When Saul saw that he prospered, 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.
Then Saul said to David, “Here is my oldest daughter Merab. I will give her to you as a wife. Only be courageous for me and fight Yahweh's battles.” For Saul thought, “Let not my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on 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?
David said to Saul, “Who am I, and who are my relatives, or my father's clan 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 at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as a wife.
20 Mas Micol la otra hija de Saul amaba a David; y fue dicho a Saul, lo cual plugo en sus ojos.
But Michal, Saul's daughter, loved David. They told Saul, and this 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.
Then Saul thought, “I will give her to him, so that she can be a trap for him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David a second time, “You will be my son-in-law.”
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.
Saul commanded his servants, “Speak with David in private, and say, 'See, the king takes pleasure in you, and all his servants love you. Now then, become 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?
So Saul's servants spoke these words to David. Then David said, “Is it a small matter to you to be the king's son-in-law, since I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?”
24 Y los criados de Saul le dieron la respuesta, diciendo: Tales palabras ha dicho David.
The servants of Saul reported to him the words which David spoke.
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.
Then Saul said, “Say this to David, 'The king does not desire any price for the bride except a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged from the king's enemies.'” Now 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.
When his servants told David these words, it pleased David to be the king's son-in-law.
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.
Before those days had expired, David went with his men and killed two hundred Philistines. David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, so that he might be the king's son-in-law. So Saul gave him Michal his daughter as his wife.
28 Y Saul viendo y considerando que Jehová era con David, y que su hija Micol le amaba,
When Saul saw, and he knew that Yahweh was with David, and that Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him,
29 Temióse más Saul de David, y fue Saul enemigo de David todos los días.
Saul was even more afraid of David. Saul was continually David's enemy.
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 came out for battle, and as often as they came out, David succeeded more than all the servants of Saul, so that his name was highly regarded.
