1 Samuel 18
1 After David had finished speaking with Saul, the souls of Jonathan and David were knit together, and Jonathan loved him as himself.
E succedeu que, acabando elle de fallar com Saul, a alma de Jonathan se ligou com a alma de David: e Jonathan o amou, como á sua propria alma.
2 And from that day Saul kept David with him and did not let him return to his father’s house.
E Saul n'aquelle dia o tomou, e não lhe permittiu que tornasse para casa de seu pae.
3 Then Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself.
E Jonathan e David fizeram alliança: porque Jonathan o amava como á sua propria alma.
4 And Jonathan removed the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his tunic, his sword, his bow, and his belt.
E Jonathan se despojou da capa que trazia sobre si, e a deu a David, como tambem os seus vestidos, até a sua espada, e o seu arco, e o seu cinto.
5 So David marched out and prospered in everything Saul sent him to do, and Saul set him over the men of war. And this was pleasing in the sight of all the people, and of Saul’s officers as well.
E sahia David aonde quer que Saul o enviava, e conduzia-se com prudencia, e Saul o poz sobre a gente de guerra: e era acceito aos olhos de todo o povo, e até aos olhos dos servos de Saul.
6 As the troops were returning home after David had killed the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel to meet King Saul with singing and dancing, with joyful songs, and with tambourines and other instruments.
Succedeu porém que, vindo elles, quando David voltava de ferir os philisteos, as mulheres de todas as cidades de Israel sairam ao encontro do rei Saul, cantando, e em danças, com adufes, com alegria, e com instrumentos de musica.
7 And as the women danced, they sang out: “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.”
E as mulheres tangendo, se respondiam umas ás outras, e diziam: Saul feriu os seus milhares, porém David os seus dez milhares.
8 And Saul was furious and resented this song. “They have ascribed tens of thousands to David,” he said, “but only thousands to me. What more can he have but the kingdom?”
Então Saul se indignou muito, e aquella palavra pareceu mal aos seus olhos, e disse: Dez milhares deram a David, e a mim sómente milhares; na verdade, que lhe falta, senão só o reino?
9 And from that day forward Saul kept a jealous eye on David.
E, desde aquelle dia em diante, Saul tinha David em suspeita.
10 The next day a spirit of distress sent from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied inside the house while David played the harp as usual. Now Saul was holding a spear,
E aconteceu ao outro dia, que o mau espirito da parte de Deus se apoderou de Saul, e prophetizava no meio da casa: e David tangia com a sua mão, como de dia em dia: Saul porém tinha na mão uma lança.
11 and he hurled it, thinking, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David eluded him twice.
E Saul atirou com a lança, dizendo: Encravarei a David na parede. Porém David se desviou d'elle por duas vezes.
12 So Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with David but had departed from Saul.
E temia Saul a David, porque o Senhor era com elle e se tinha retirado de Saul.
13 Therefore Saul sent David away and gave him command of a thousand men. David led the troops out to battle and back,
Pelo que Saul o desviou de si, e o poz por chefe de mil: e sahia e entrava diante do povo.
14 and he continued to prosper in all his ways, because the LORD was with him.
E David se conduzia com prudencia em todos os seus caminhos, e o Senhor era com elle.
15 When Saul saw that David was very successful, he was afraid of him.
Vendo então Saul que tão prudentemente se conduzia, tinha receio d'elle.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he was leading them out to battle and back.
Porém todo o Israel e Judah amava a David, porquanto sahia e entrava diante d'elles.
17 Then Saul said to David, “Here is my older daughter Merab. I will give her to you in marriage. Only be valiant for me and fight the LORD’s battles.” But Saul was thinking, “I need not raise my hand against him; let the hand of the Philistines be against him.”
Pelo que Saul disse a David: Eis que Merab, minha filha mais velha, te darei por mulher; sê-me somente filho valoroso, e guerreia as guerras do Senhor (porque Saul dizia comsigo: Não seja contra elle a minha mão, mas sim a dos philisteos).
18 And David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my family or my father’s clan in Israel, that I should become the son-in-law of the king?”
Mas David disse a Saul: Quem sou eu, e qual é a minha vida e a familia de meu pae em Israel, para vir a ser genro do rei?
19 So when it was time to give Saul’s daughter Merab to David, she was given in marriage to Adriel of Meholah.
Succedeu, porém, que ao tempo que Merab, filha de Saul, devia ser dada a David, ella foi dada por mulher a Adriel, meholathita.
20 Now Saul’s daughter Michal loved David, and when this was reported to Saul, it pleased him.
Mas Michal, a outra filha de Saul amava a David: o que, sendo annunciado a Saul, pareceu isto bom aos seus olhos.
21 “I will give her to David,” Saul thought, “so that she may be a snare to him, and the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David, “For a second time now you can be my son-in-law.”
E Saul disse: Eu lh'a darei, para que lhe sirva de laço, e para que a mão dos philisteos venha a ser contra elle. Pelo que Saul disse a David: Com a outra serás hoje meu genro.
22 Then Saul ordered his servants, “Speak to David privately and tell him, ‘Behold, the king is pleased with you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore, become his son-in-law.’”
E Saul deu ordem aos seus servos: Fallae em segredo a David, dizendo: Eis que o rei te está mui affeiçoado, e todos os seus servos te amam; agora, pois, consente em ser genro do rei.
23 But when Saul’s servants relayed these words to David, he replied, “Does it seem trivial in your sight to be the son-in-law of the king? I am a poor man and lightly esteemed.”
E os servos de Saul fallaram todas estas palavras aos ouvidos de David. Então disse David: Parece-vos pouco aos vossos olhos ser genro do rei, sendo eu homem pobre e desprezivel?
24 And the servants told Saul what David had said.
E os servos de Saul lhe annunciaram isto, dizendo: Foram taes as palavras que fallou David.
25 Saul replied, “Say to David, ‘The king desires no other dowry but a hundred Philistine foreskins as revenge on his enemies.’” But Saul intended to cause David’s death at the hands of the Philistines.
Então disse Saul: Assim direis a David: O rei não tem necessidade de dote, senão de cem prepucios de philisteos, para se tomar vingança dos inimigos do rei. Porquanto Saul tentava fazer cair a David pela mão dos philisteos.
26 When the servants reported these terms to David, he was pleased to become the king’s son-in-law. Before the wedding day arrived,
E annunciaram os seus servos estas palavras a David, e este negocio pareceu bem aos olhos de David, de que fosse genro do rei: porém ainda os dias se não haviam cumprido.
27 David and his men went out and killed two hundred Philistines. He brought their foreskins and presented them as payment in full to become the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave his daughter Michal to David in marriage.
Então David se levantou, e partiu elle com os seus homens, e feriram d'entre os philisteos duzentos homens, e David trouxe os seus prepucios, e os entregaram todos ao rei, para que fosse genro do rei: então Saul lhe deu por mulher a sua filha.
28 When Saul realized that the LORD was with David and that his daughter Michal loved David,
E viu Saul, e notou que o Senhor era com David: e Michal, filha de Saul, o amava.
29 he grew even more afraid of David. So from then on Saul was David’s enemy.
Então Saul temeu muito mais a David: e Saul foi todos os seus dias inimigo de David.
30 Every time the Philistine commanders came out for battle, David was more successful than all of Saul’s officers, so that his name was highly esteemed.
E, saindo os principes dos philisteos, succedeu que, saindo elles, David se conduziu mais prudentemente do que todos os servos de Saul: portanto o seu nome era mui estimado.
