1 Samuel 18
1 When he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
E assim que ele acabou de falar com Saul, a alma de Jônatas se apegou à de Davi, e Jônatas o amou como à sua alma.
2 Saul took him that day, and would not let him go home to his father’s house any more.
E Saul o tomou naquele dia, e não o deixou voltar à casa de seu pai.
3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
E fizeram aliança Jônatas e Davi, porque ele lhe amava como a sua alma.
4 Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David with his clothing, even including his sword, his bow, and his sash.
E Jônatas despiu a roupa que tinha sobre si, e deu-a a Davi, e outras roupas suas, até sua espada, e seu arco, e seu cinto.
5 David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely; and Saul set him over the men of war. It was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.
E Davi saía para onde quer que Saul o enviasse, e portava-se prudentemente. Fê-lo, portanto, Saul capitão da gente de guerra, e era aceito aos olhos de todo o povo, e nos olhos dos criados de Saul.
6 As they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music.
E aconteceu que quando voltavam eles, quando Davi voltou de matar ao filisteu, saíram as mulheres de todas as cidades de Israel cantando, e com danças, com tamboris, e com alegrias e adufes, a receber ao rei Saul.
7 The women sang to one another as they played, and said, “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.”
E cantavam as mulheres que dançavam, e diziam: Saul feriu seus milhares, E Davi seus dez milhares.
8 Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him. He said, “They have credited David with ten thousands, and they have only credited me with thousands. What can he have more but the kingdom?”
E irou-se Saul em grande maneira, e desagradou esta palavra em seus olhos, e disse: A Davi deram dez milhares, e a mim milhares; não lhe falta mais que o reino.
9 Saul watched David from that day and forward.
E desde aquele dia Saul olhou com desconfiança a Davi.
10 On the next day, an evil spirit from God came mightily on Saul, and he prophesied in the middle of the house. David played with his hand, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand;
Outro dia aconteceu que o espírito mau da parte de Deus tomou a Saul, e mostrava-se em sua casa com trejeitos de profeta: e Davi tocava com sua mão como os outros dias; e estava uma lança à mão de Saul.
11 and Saul threw the spear, for he said, “I will pin David to the wall!” David escaped from his presence twice.
E lançou Saul a lança, dizendo: Encravarei a Davi na parede. E duas vezes se afastou dele Davi.
12 Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and had departed from Saul.
Mas Saul se temia de Davi porquanto o SENHOR era com ele, e havia se afastado de Saul.
13 Therefore Saul removed him from his presence, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
Afastou-o, pois, Saul de si, e fez-lhe capitão de mil; e saía e entrava diante do povo.
14 David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.
E Davi se conduzia prudentemente em todos seus negócios, e o SENHOR era com ele.
15 When Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.
E vendo Saul que se portava tão prudentemente, temia-se dele.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
Mas todos os de Israel e Judá amavam a Davi, porque ele saía e entrava diante deles.
17 Saul said to David, “Behold, my elder daughter Merab. I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight the LORD’s battles.” For Saul said, “Do not let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.”
E disse Saul a Davi: Eis que eu te darei a Merabe minha filha maior por mulher: somente que me sejas homem valente, e faças as guerras do SENHOR. Mas Saul dizia: Não será minha mão contra ele, mas a mão dos filisteus será contra ele.
18 David said to 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?”
E Davi respondeu a Saul: Quem sou eu, ou que é minha vida, ou a família de meu pai em Israel, para ser genro do rei?
19 But at the time when Merab, Saul’s daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.
E vindo o tempo em que Merabe, filha de Saul, se havia de dar a Davi, foi dada por mulher a Adriel meolatita.
20 Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
Mas Mical a outra filha de Saul amava a Davi; e foi dito a Saul, o qual foi conveniente em seus olhos.
21 Saul said, I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Therefore Saul said to David a second time, “You shall today be my son-in-law.”
E Saul disse: Eu a darei a ele, para que lhe seja por armadilha, e para que a mão dos filisteus seja contra ele. Disse, pois, Saul a Davi: Com a outra serás meu genro hoje.
22 Saul commanded his servants, “Talk with David secretly, and say, ‘Behold, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore be the king’s son-in-law.’”
E mandou Saul a seus criados: Falai em secreto a Davi, dizendo-lhe: Eis que, o rei te ama, e todos seus criados te querem bem; sê, pois, genro do rei.
23 Saul’s servants spoke those words in the ears of David. David said, “Does it seem to you a light thing to be the king’s son-in-law, since I am a poor man and little known?”
E os criados de Saul falaram estas palavras aos ouvidos de Davi. E Davi disse: Parece-vos que é pouco ser genro do rei, sendo eu um homem pobre e de nenhuma estima?
24 The servants of Saul told him, saying, “David spoke like this.”
E os criados de Saul lhe deram a resposta dizendo: Tais palavras disse Davi.
25 Saul said, “Tell David, ‘The king desires no dowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies.’” Now Saul thought he would make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
E Saul disse: Dizei assim a Davi: Não está o contentamento do rei no dote, mas sim em cem prepúcios de filisteus, para que seja tomada vingança dos inimigos do rei. Mas Saul pensava lançar a Davi em mãos dos filisteus.
26 When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son-in-law. Before the deadline,
E quando seus criados declararam a Davi estas palavras, foi conveniente a coisa nos olhos de Davi, para ser genro do rei. E quando o prazo não era ainda cumprido,
27 David arose and went, he and his men, and killed two hundred men of the Philistines. Then David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Michal his daughter as wife.
Levantou-se Davi, e partiu-se com sua gente, e feriu duzentos homens dos filisteus; e trouxe Davi os prepúcios deles, e entregaram-nos todos ao rei, para que ele fosse feito genro do rei. E Saul lhe deu a sua filha Mical por mulher.
28 Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David; and Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved him.
Porém Saul, vendo e considerando que o SENHOR era com Davi, e que sua filha Mical o amava,
29 Saul was even more afraid of David; and Saul was David’s enemy continually.
Temeu-se mais de Davi; e foi Saul inimigo de Davi todos os dias.
30 Then the princes of the Philistines went out; and as often as they went out, David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul, so that his name was highly esteemed.
E saíam os príncipes dos filisteus; e quando eles saíam, portava-se Davi mais prudentemente que todos os servos de Saul: e era seu nome muito ilustre.
