Kings I 18
1 [And it came to pass when he had finished speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David and David loved him ] [as his own soul. ]
E sucedeu que, acabando ele de falar com Saul, a alma de Jonathan se ligou com a alma de David: e Jonathan o amou, como à sua própria alma.
2 [And Saul took him in that day, and did not suffer him to return to his father's house. ]
E Saul naquele dia o tomou, e não lhe permitiu que tornasse para casa de seu pai.
3 [And Jonathan and David made a covenant because he loved him as his own soul. ]
E Jonathan e David fizeram aliança: porque Jonathan o amava como à sua própria alma.
4 [And Jonathan stripped himself of his ] [upper garment, and gave it to David, and his mantle and all he had upon him, even to his sword and to his bow, and to his girdle. ]
E Jonathan se despojou da capa que trazia sobre si, e a deu a David, como também os seus vestidos, até a sua espada, e o seu arco, e o seu cinto.
5 [And David went out withersoever Saul sent him, and ] [acted wisely, and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was pleasing in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul. ]
E saía David aonde quer que Saul o enviava, e conduzia-se com prudência, e Saul o pôs sobre a gente de guerra: e era aceito aos olhos de todo o povo, e até aos olhos dos servos de Saul.
6 And there came out women in dances to meet David out of all the cities of Israel, with timbrels, and with rejoicing, and with cymbals.
Sucedeu porém que, vindo eles, quando David voltava de ferir os philisteus, 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 música.
7 And the women began [the strain], and said, Saul has struck his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
E as mulheres tangendo, se respondiam umas às outras, e diziam: Saul feriu os seus milhares, porém David os seus dez milhares.
8 And it seemed evil in the eyes of Saul concerning this matter, and he said, To David they have given ten thousands, and to me they have given thousands. [And what more can he have but the kingdom? ]
Então Saul se indignou muito, e aquela palavra pareceu mal aos seus olhos, e disse: Dez milhares deram a David, e a mim somente milhares; na verdade, que lhe falta, senão só o reino?
9 [And Saul eyed David from that day and onward. ]
E, desde aquele dia em diante, Saul tinha David em suspeita.
10 [And it came to pass on the morrow that an evil spirit from God fell upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David was playing on the harp with his hand, according to his daily custom. And Saul’s spear was in his hand. ]
E aconteceu ao outro dia, que o mau espírito da parte de Deus se apoderou de Saul, e profetizava 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 Saul took his spear and said, I will strike David even to the wall. But David escaped twice from his presence. ]
E Saul atirou com a lança, dizendo: Encravarei a David na parede. Porém David se desviou dele por duas vezes.
12 And Saul was alarmed on account of David.
E temia Saul a David, porque o Senhor era com ele e se tinha retirado de Saul.
13 And he removed him from him, and made him a captain of a thousand for himself; and he went out and came in before the people.
Pelo que Saul o desviou de si, e o pôs por chefe de mil: e saía e entrava diante do povo.
14 And David was prudent in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.
E David se conduzia com prudência em todos os seus caminhos, e o Senhor era com ele.
15 And Saul saw that he was very wise, and he was afraid of him.
Vendo então Saul que tão prudentemente se conduzia, tinha receio dele.
16 And all Israel and Juda loved David, because he came in and went out before the people.
Porém todo o Israel e Judá amava a David, porquanto saía e entrava diante deles.
17 [And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merob, I will give her to you to Wife, only be you to me a mighty man and fight the wars of the Lord. And Saul said, Let not my hand be upon him, but the hand of the Philistines shall be upon 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 consigo: Não seja contra ele a minha mão, mas sim a dos philisteus).
18 [And David said to Saul, Who am I, and What is the life of my father’s family in Israel, that I should be the king’s son—in-law? ]
Mas David disse a Saul: Quem sou eu, e qual é a minha vida e a família de meu pai em Israel, para vir a ser genro do rei?
19 [But it came to pass at the time when Merob Saul’s daughter should have been given to David, that she was given to Israel the Mothulathite to wife. ]
Sucedeu, porém, que ao tempo que Merab, filha de Saul, devia ser dada a David, ela foi dada por mulher a Adriel, meholathita.
20 And Melchol the daughter of Saul loved David; and it was told Saul, and the thing was pleasing in his eyes.
Mas Michal, a outra filha de Saul amava a David: o que, sendo anunciado a Saul, pareceu isto bom aos seus olhos.
21 And Saul said, I will give her to him, and she shall be a stumbling block to him. Now the hand of the Philistines was against Saul.
E Saul disse: Eu lha darei, para que lhe sirva de laço, e para que a mão dos philisteus venha a ser contra ele. Pelo que Saul disse a David: Com a outra serás hoje meu genro.
22 And Saul charged his servants, saying, Speak you privately to David, saying, Behold, the king delights in you, and all his servants love you, and do you becomes the king's son-in-law.
E Saul deu ordem aos seus servos: falai em segredo a David, dizendo: Eis que o rei te está mui afeiçoado, e todos os seus servos te amam; agora, pois, consente em ser genro do rei.
23 And the servants of Saul spoke these words in the ears of David; and David said, [Is it] a light thing in your eyes to become son-in-law to the king? Whereas I [am] an humble man, an not honourable?
E os servos de Saul falaram 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 desprezível?
24 And the servants of Saul reported to him according to these words, which David spoke.
E os servos de Saul lhe anunciaram isto, dizendo: Foram tais as palavras que falou David.
25 And Saul said, Thus shall you speak to David, The king wants no gift but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to avenge himself on the kings enemies. Now Saul thought to cast him into the hands of the Philistines.
Então disse Saul: Assim direis a David: O rei não tem necessidade de dote, senão de cem prepúcios de philisteus, para se tomar vingança dos inimigos do rei. Porquanto Saul tentava fazer cair a David pela mão dos philisteus.
26 And the servants of Saul report these words to David, and David was well pleased to become the son-in-law to the king.
E anunciaram os seus servos estas palavras a David, e este negócio pareceu bem aos olhos de David, de que fosse genro do rei: porém ainda os dias se não haviam cumprido.
27 And David arose, and went, he and his men, and struck amongst the Philistines a hundred men: and he brought their foreskins, and he becomes the king's son-in-law, and [Saul] gives him Melchol his daughter to wife.
Então David se levantou, e partiu ele com os seus homens, e feriram dentre os philisteus duzentos homens, e David trouxe os seus prepúcios, e os entregaram todos ao rei, para que fosse genro do rei: então Saul lhe deu por mulher a sua filha.
28 And Saul saw that the Lord [was] with David, and [that] all Israel loved him.
E viu Saul, e notou que o Senhor era com David: e Michal, filha de Saul, o amava.
29 And he was yet more afraid of David.
Então Saul temeu muito mais a David: e Saul foi todos os seus dias inimigo de David.
30 [And the chief of the Philistines went forth; and it came to pass that from the suficiency of their expedition David acted Wisely above all the servants of Saul; and his name was honoured exceedingly. ]
E, saindo os príncipes dos philisteus, sucedeu que, saindo eles, David se conduziu mais prudentemente do que todos os servos de Saul: portanto o seu nome era mui estimado.
