1 Samuel 20
1 And David went in flight from Naioth in Ramah and came to Jonathan and said, What have I done? What is my crime and my sin against your father that he is attempting to take my life?
Então fugiu David de Naioth, em Rama: e veiu, e disse perante Jonathan: Que fiz eu? qual é o meu crime? e qual é o meu peccado diante de teu pae, que procura tirar-me a vida?
2 And he said to him, Far be the thought: you will not be put to death: see, my father does nothing, great or small, without giving me word of it: would he keep this secret from me? It is not so.
E elle lhe disse: Tal não haja: não morrerás; eis que meu pae não faz coisa nenhuma grande, nem pequena, sem primeiro me dar parte; porque pois meu pae me encobriria este negocio? não ha tal.
3 But David took his oath again and said, Your father sees that I am dear to you; so he says to himself, Let Jonathan have no idea of this, for it will be a grief to him; but as the Lord is living, and as your soul is living, there is only a step between me and death.
Então David tornou a jurar, e disse: Mui bem sabe teu pae que achei graça em teus olhos; pelo que disse: Não saiba isto Jonathan, para que se não magõe, e, na verdade, vive o Senhor, e vive a tua alma, que apenas ha um passo entre mim e a morte.
4 Then Jonathan said to David, Whatever your desire is, I will do it for you.
E disse Jonathan a David: O que disser a tua alma, eu te farei.
5 And David said to Jonathan, Tomorrow is the new moon, and I will not be seated with the king at his table: but let me go to a safe place in the country till the evening.
Disse David a Jonathan: Eis que ámanhã é a lua nova, em que costumo assentar-me com o rei para comer: deixa-me tu ir, porém, e esconder-me-hei no campo, até á terceira tarde
6 And if your father takes note of the fact that I am away, say, David made a request to me for himself that he might go to Beth-lehem, to his town: for it is the time when his family make their offering year by year.
Se teu pae notar a minha ausencia, dirás: David me pediu muito que o deixasse ir correndo a Beth-lehem, sua cidade; porquanto se faz lá o sacrificio annual para toda a linhagem.
7 If he says, It is well, your servant will be at peace: but if he is angry, then it will be clear to you that he has an evil purpose in mind against me.
Se disser assim, Está bem; então teu servo tem paz: porém se muito se indignar, sabe que já está inteiramente determinado no mal.
8 So, then, be kind to your servant; for you have been united with your servant in an agreement made before the Lord: but if there is any wrongdoing in me, put me to death yourself; why take me to your father?
Usa pois de misericordia com o teu servo, porque fizeste a teu servo entrar comtigo em alliança do Senhor: se porém ha em mim crime, mata-me tu mesmo: porque me levarias a teu pae?
9 And Jonathan said, Do not have such a thought: for if I saw that my father was designing evil against you, would I not give you word of it?
Então disse Jonathan: Longe de ti tal coisa: porém se d'alguma maneira soubesse que já este mal está inteiramente determinado por meu pae, para que viesse sobre ti, não t'o descobriria eu?
10 Then David said to Jonathan, Who will give me word if your father gives you a rough answer?
E disse David a Jonathan: Quem tal me fará saber, se por acaso teu pae te responder asperamente?
11 And Jonathan said to David, Come, let us go out into the country. And the two of them went out together into the open country.
Então disse Jonathan a David: Vem e saiamos ao campo. E sairam ambos ao campo.
12 And Jonathan said to David, May the Lord, the God of Israel, be witness; when I have had a chance of talking to my father, about this time tomorrow, if his feelings to David are good, will I not send and give you the news?
E disse Jonathan a David: Ó Senhor Deus de Israel, se, sondando eu a meu pae ámanhã a estas horas, ou depois d'ámanhã, e eis que houver coisa favoravel para David: e eu então não enviar a ti, e não t'o fizer saber;
13 May the Lord's punishment be on Jonathan, if it is my father's pleasure to do you evil and I do not give you word of it and send you away so that you may go in peace: and may the Lord be with you, as he has been with my father.
O Senhor faça assim com Jonathan outro tanto; que se aprouver a meu pae fazer-te mal, tambem t'o farei saber, e te deixarei partir, e irás em paz: e o Senhor seja comtigo, assim como foi com meu pae.
14 And may you, while I am still living, O may you be kind to me, as the Lord is kind, and keep me from death!
E, se eu então ainda viver, porventura não usarás comigo da beneficencia do Senhor, para que não morra?
15 And let not your mercy ever be cut off from my family, even when the Lord has sent destruction on all David's haters, cutting them off from the face of the earth.
Nem tão pouco cortarás da minha casa a tua beneficencia eternamente: nem ainda quando o Senhor desarraigar da terra a cada um dos inimigos de David.
16 And if it comes about that the name of Jonathan is cut off from the family of David, the Lord will make David responsible.
Assim fez Jonathan alliança com a casa de David, dizendo: O Senhor o requeira da mão dos inimigos de David.
17 And Jonathan again took an oath to David, because of his love for him: for David was as dear to him as his very soul.
E Jonathan fez jurar a David de novo, porquanto o amava; porque o amava com todo o amor da sua alma.
18 Then Jonathan said to him, Tomorrow is the new moon: and it will be seen that you are not present, for there will be no one in your seat.
E disse-lhe Jonathan: Ámanhã é a lua nova, e não te acharão no teu logar, pois o teu assento se achará vazio
19 And on the third day it will be specially noted, and you will go to the place where you took cover when the other business was in hand, waiting by the hill over there.
E, ausentando-te tu tres dias, desce apressadamente, e vae áquelle logar onde te escondeste no dia do negocio: e fica-te junto á pedra de Ezel.
20 And on the third day I will send arrows from my bow against its side as if at a mark.
E eu atirarei tres frechas para aquella banda, como se atirara ao alvo.
21 And I will send my boy to have a look for the arrow. And if I say to him, See, the arrow is on this side of you; take it up! then you may come; for there is peace for you and no evil, by the living Lord.
E eis que mandarei o moço dizendo: Anda, busca as frechas: se eu expressamente disser ao moço: Olha que as frechas estão para cá de ti; toma-o comtigo, e vem; porque ha paz para ti, e não ha nada, vive o Senhor.
22 But if I say to the boy, See, the arrow has gone past you: then go on your way, for the Lord has sent you away.
Porém se disser ao moço assim: Olha que as frechas estão para lá de ti; vae-te embora; porque o Senhor te deixa ir.
23 As for what you and I were talking of, the Lord is between you and me for ever.
E quanto ao negocio de que eu e tu fallámos, eis que o Senhor está entre mim e ti eternamente.
24 So David went to a secret place in the country: and when the new moon came, the king took his place at the feast.
Escondeu-se pois David no campo: e, sendo a lua nova, assentou-se o rei para comer pão.
25 And the king took his seat, as at other times, by the wall: and Jonathan was in front, and Abner was seated by Saul's side, but there was no one in David's seat.
E, assentando-se o rei no seu assento, como as outras vezes, no logar junto á parede, Jonathan se levantou, e assentou-se Abner ao lado de Saul: e o logar de David appareceu vasio.
26 But Saul said nothing that day, for his thought was, Something has taken place making him unclean; it is clear that he is not clean.
Porém n'aquelle dia não disse Saul nada, porque dizia: Aconteceu-lhe alguma coisa, pela qual não está limpo; certamente não está limpo
27 And on the day after the new moon, that is, the second day, there was still no one in David's seat: and Saul said to his son Jonathan, Why has the son of Jesse not come to the feast yesterday or today?
Succedeu tambem ao outro dia, o segundo da lua nova, que o logar de David appareceu vasio: disse pois Saul a Jonathan, seu filho: Porque não veiu o filho de Jessé nem hontem nem hoje a comer pão?
28 And answering Saul, Jonathan said, He made a request to me that he might go to Beth-lehem,
E respondeu Jonathan a Saul: David me pediu encarecidamente que o deixasse ir a Beth-lehem,
29 Saying, Our family is making an offering in the town, and my brothers have given me orders to be there: so now, if I have grace in your eyes, let me go away and see my brothers. This is why he has not come to the king's table.
Dizendo: Peço-te que me deixes ir, porquanto a nossa linhagem tem um sacrificio na cidade, e meu irmão mesmo me mandou ir: se pois agora tenho achado graça em teus olhos, peço-te que me deixes partir, para que veja a meus irmãos: por isso não veiu á mesa do rei
30 Then Saul was moved to wrath against Jonathan, and he said to him, You son of an evil and uncontrolled woman, have I not seen how you have given your love to the son of Jesse, to your shame and the shame of your mother?
Então se accendeu a ira de Saul contra Jonathan, e disse-lhe: Filho da perversa em rebeldia; não sei eu que tens elegido o filho de Jessé, para vergonha tua e para vergonha da nudez de tua mãe?
31 For while the son of Jesse is living on the earth, your position is unsafe and your kingdom is in danger. So make him come here to me, for it is certainly right for him to be put to death.
Porque todos os dias que o filho de Jessé viver sobre a terra nem tu serás firme, nem o teu reino: pelo que envia, e traze-m'o n'esta hora; porque é digno de morte.
32 And Jonathan, answering his father Saul, said to him, Why is he to be put to death? What has he done?
Então respondeu Jonathan a Saul, seu pae, e lhe disse: Porque ha de elle morrer? que tem feito?
33 And Saul, pointing his spear at him, made an attempt to give him a wound: from which it was clear to Jonathan that his father's purpose was to put David to death.
Então Saul atirou-lhe com a lança, para o ferir: assim entendeu Jonathan que já seu pae tinha determinado matar a David.
34 So Jonathan got up from the table, burning with wrath, and took no part in the feast the second day of the month, being full of grief for David because his father had put shame on him.
Pelo que Jonathan, todo encolerisado, se levantou da mesa: e no segundo dia da lua nova não comeu pão; porque se magoava por causa de David, porque seu pae o tinha maltratado.
35 Now in the morning, Jonathan went out into the fields at the time he had said to David, and he had a little boy with him.
E aconteceu, pela manhã, que Jonathan saiu ao campo, ao tempo que tinha ajustado com David, e um moço pequeno com elle.
36 And he said to the boy, Go and get the arrow I let loose from my bow. And while the boy was running, he sent an arrow past him.
Então disse ao seu moço: Corre a buscar as frechas que eu atirar. Correu pois o moço, e elle atirou uma frecha, que fez passar além d'elle.
37 And when the boy came to the place where the arrow was, Jonathan, crying out after the boy, said, Has it not gone past you?
E, chegando o moço ao logar da frecha que Jonathan tinha atirado, gritou Jonathan atraz do moço, e disse: Não está porventura a frecha mais para lá de ti?
38 And Jonathan went on crying out after the boy, Be quick, do not keep waiting about, go quickly. And Jonathan's boy got the arrow and came back to his master.
E tornou Jonathan a gritar atraz do moço: Apressa-te, avia-te, não te demores. E o moço de Jonathan apanhou as frechas, e veiu a seu senhor.
39 But the boy had no idea what was going on; only Jonathan and David had knowledge of it.
E o moço não entendeu coisa alguma: só Jonathan e David sabiam d'este negocio.
40 And Jonathan gave his bow and arrows to the boy, and said to him, Take these and go back to the town.
Então Jonathan deu as suas armas ao moço que trazia, e disse-lhe: Anda, e leva-as á cidade.
41 And when the boy had gone, David came from his secret place by the hill, and falling to the earth went down on his face three times: and they gave one another a kiss, weeping together, till David's grief was the greater.
E, indo-se o moço, levantou-se David da banda do sul, e lançou-se sobre o seu rosto em terra, e inclinou-se tres vezes: e beijaram-se um ao outro, e choraram juntos até que David chorou muito mais.
42 And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, for we two have taken an oath, in the name of the Lord, saying, The Lord will be between me and you, and between my seed and your seed for ever. Then David went away, and Jonathan went into the town.
E disse Jonathan a David: Vae-te em paz: o que nós temos jurado ambos em nome do Senhor, dizendo: O Senhor seja entre mim e ti, e entre a minha semente e a tua semente, seja perpetuamente. Então se levantou David, e se foi; e Jonathan entrou na cidade.
