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.
Quando ele terminou de falar com Saul, a alma de Jonathan foi tricotada com a alma de David, e Jonathan o amava como se fosse sua própria alma.
2 And from that day Saul kept David with him and did not let him return to his father’s house.
Saul o levou naquele dia, e não o deixou mais voltar para casa de seu pai.
3 Then Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself.
Então Jonathan e David fizeram um pacto, porque o amavam como se fosse sua própria 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.
Jonathan se despiu do manto que estava sobre ele e o deu a David com suas roupas, incluindo até mesmo sua espada, seu arco e sua faixa.
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.
David saiu para onde Saul o enviou, e se comportou sabiamente; e Saul o colocou sobre os homens de guerra. Foi bom aos olhos de todo o povo, e também 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.
Quando chegaram, quando Davi voltou da matança do filisteu, as mulheres saíram de todas as cidades de Israel, cantando e dançando, para encontrar o rei Saul com pandeiros, com alegria e com instrumentos de música.
7 And as the women danced, they sang out: “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.”
As mulheres cantaram umas para as outras enquanto tocavam, e disseram, “Saul matou seus milhares, e David seus dez mil”.
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?”
Saul estava muito irritado, e este ditado o desagradou. Ele disse: “Eles creditaram a David dez mil, e só me creditaram a mim milhares. O que ele pode ter mais a não ser o reino”?
9 And from that day forward Saul kept a jealous eye on David.
Saul observou Davi daquele dia em diante.
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,
No dia seguinte, um espírito maligno de Deus veio poderosamente sobre Saul, e ele profetizou no meio da casa. David brincou com sua mão, como fazia dia após dia. Saul tinha sua lança na mão;
11 and he hurled it, thinking, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David eluded him twice.
e Saul atirou a lança, pois disse: “Vou prender Davi à parede”. Davi escapou de sua presença duas vezes.
12 So Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with David but had departed from Saul.
Saul tinha medo de Davi, porque Iavé estava 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,
Therefore Saul o retirou de sua presença, e o fez seu capitão mais de mil; e ele saiu e entrou diante do povo.
14 and he continued to prosper in all his ways, because the LORD was with him.
David comportou-se sabiamente em todos os seus modos; e Yahweh estava com ele.
15 When Saul saw that David was very successful, he was afraid of him.
Quando Saul viu que ele se comportava muito sabiamente, ele ficou admirado com ele.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he was leading them out to battle and back.
Mas todo Israel e Judá amavam Davi; pois 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.”
Saul disse a Davi: “Eis minha filha mais velha, Merab. Eu a darei a você como esposa. Sede valentes somente para mim, e travai as batalhas de Iavé”. Pois Saul disse: “Não deixe que minha mão esteja sobre ele, mas que a mão dos filisteus esteja sobre 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?”
David disse a Saul: “Quem sou eu, e o que é minha vida, ou a família de meu pai em Israel, que eu deveria 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.
Mas na época em que Merab, filha de Saul, deveria ter sido dada a David, ela foi dada a Adriel, o Meholathite, como esposa.
20 Now Saul’s daughter Michal loved David, and when this was reported to Saul, it pleased him.
Michal, a filha de Saul, amava David; e eles disseram a Saul, e a coisa o agradou.
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.”
Saul disse, eu a darei a ele, que ela pode ser uma armadilha para ele e que a mão dos filisteus pode estar contra ele. Por isso, Saul disse a Davi uma segunda vez: “Tu 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.’”
Saul ordenou a seus servos: “Falai em segredo com Davi e dizei: 'Eis que o rei tem prazer em vós, e todos os seus servos vos amam'. Agora, portanto, sede 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.”
Os criados de Saul pronunciaram essas palavras aos ouvidos de David. David disse: “Parece-lhe uma coisa leve ser genro do rei, já que sou um homem pobre e pouco conhecido”?
24 And the servants told Saul what David had said.
Os criados de Saul disseram a ele, dizendo: “David falou assim”.
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.
Saul disse: “Diga a David: 'O rei não deseja nenhum dote, exceto cem prepúcios dos filisteus, para se vingar dos inimigos do rei'”. Agora Saul pensava que faria Davi cair pela mão 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,
Quando seus servos disseram a Davi estas palavras, agradou bem a Davi ser genro do rei. Antes do prazo,
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.
David levantou-se e foi, ele e seus homens, e matou duzentos homens dos filisteus. Então Davi trouxe seus prepúcios, e eles os deram em número total ao rei, para que ele pudesse ser genro do rei. Então Saul deu a ele Michal sua filha como esposa.
28 When Saul realized that the LORD was with David and that his daughter Michal loved David,
Saul viu e sabia que Yahweh estava 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.
Saul tinha ainda mais medo de Davi; e Saul era o inimigo de Davi continuamente.
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.
Então os príncipes dos filisteus saíram; e, tantas vezes quanto eles saíam, Davi se comportava mais sabiamente do que todos os servos de Saul, de modo que seu nome era muito estimado.
