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 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 And from that day Saul kept David with him and did not let him return to his father’s house.
E Saul o tomou naquele dia, e não o deixou voltar à casa de seu pai.
3 Then Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself.
E fizeram aliança Jônatas e Davi, porque ele lhe amava como a sua 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 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 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 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 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.
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 And as the women danced, they sang out: “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.”
E cantavam as mulheres que dançavam, e diziam: Saul feriu seus milhares, E Davi 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?”
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 And from that day forward Saul kept a jealous eye on David.
E desde aquele dia Saul olhou com desconfiança a Davi.
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,
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 he hurled it, thinking, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David eluded him twice.
E lançou Saul a lança, dizendo: Encravarei a Davi na parede. E duas vezes se afastou dele Davi.
12 So Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with David but 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 sent David away and gave him command of a thousand men. David led the troops out to battle and back,
Afastou-o, pois, Saul de si, e fez-lhe capitão de mil; e saía e entrava diante do povo.
14 and he continued to prosper in all his ways, because 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 David was very successful, he was afraid of him.
E vendo Saul que se portava tão prudentemente, temia-se dele.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he was leading them out to battle and back.
Mas todos os de Israel e Judá amavam a Davi, porque ele saía e entrava diante deles.
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.”
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 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?”
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 So when it was time to give Saul’s daughter Merab to David, she was given in marriage to Adriel of Meholah.
E vindo o tempo em que Merabe, filha de Saul, se havia de dar a Davi, foi dada por mulher a Adriel meolatita.
20 Now Saul’s daughter Michal loved David, and when this was reported to Saul, it 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 “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 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 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 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 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 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 And the servants told Saul what David had said.
E os criados de Saul lhe deram a resposta dizendo: Tais palavras disse Davi.
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.
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 the servants reported these terms to David, he was pleased to become the king’s son-in-law. Before the wedding day arrived,
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 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.
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 When Saul realized that the LORD was with David and that his daughter Michal loved David,
Porém Saul, vendo e considerando que o SENHOR era com Davi, e que sua filha Mical o amava,
29 he grew even more afraid of David. So from then on Saul was David’s enemy.
Temeu-se mais de Davi; e foi Saul inimigo de Davi todos os dias.
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 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.
