1 Samuel 20
1 Then David fled from Naioth, which is in Ramah, and he went and said before Jonathan: “What have I done? What is my iniquity, or what is my sin, against your father, so that he would seek 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: “May this not be! You shall not die. For my father will not do anything, great or small, without first revealing it to me. Therefore, has my father concealed this word solely from me? By no means shall this be!”
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 And he swore again to David. And David said: “Your father certainly knows that I have found favor in your sight, and so he will say, ‘Let Jonathan not know this, lest he be saddened.’ So truly, as the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, there is only one step (if I may say it) separating me from 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 And Jonathan said to David, “Whatever your soul will tell me, I will do for you.”
E disse Jonathan a David: O que disser a tua alma, eu te farei.
5 Then David said to Jonathan: “Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I am accustomed to sit in a seat beside the king to eat. Therefore, permit me that I may be hidden in the field, until the evening of the third day.
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 If your father, looking around, will seek me, you shall respond to him: ‘David asked me if he may hurry to Bethlehem, his own city. For there are solemn sacrifices in that place for all of his tribe together.’
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 will say, ‘It is well,’ then your servant will have peace. But if he will be angry, know that his malice has reached its height.
Se disser assim, Está bem; então teu servo tem paz: porém se muito se indignar, sabe que já está inteiramente determinado no mal.
8 Therefore, show mercy to your servant. For you have brought me, your servant, into a covenant of the Lord with you. But if there is any iniquity in me, you may kill me, and you shall not lead me in 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: “May this be far from you. For certainly, if I ever realized that any wickedness was determined by my father against you, I would not be able to do anything other than report it to you.”
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 And David responded to Jonathan, “Who will repeat it to me, if your father may perhaps answer you harshly about me?”
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, and let us go out into the field.” And when they both had gone out into the field,
Então disse Jonathan a David: Vem e saiamos ao campo. E sairam ambos ao campo.
12 Jonathan said before David: “O Lord, God of Israel, if I will discover a decision by my father, tomorrow, or the day after, and if there will be anything good concerning David, and yet I do not immediately send to you and make it known to you,
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 do these things to Jonathan, and may he add these other things. But if my father will have persevered in malice against you, I will reveal it to your ear, and I will send you away, so that you may go in peace, and so that the Lord may be with you, just as he was 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 if I live, you shall show the mercy of the Lord to me. Yet truly, if I die,
E, se eu então ainda viver, porventura não usarás comigo da beneficencia do Senhor, para que não morra?
15 you shall not take away your mercy from my house, even forever, when the Lord will have rooted out the enemies of David, each and every one of them, from the earth. May he take Jonathan from his house, and may the Lord require it from the hands of the enemies of David.”
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 Therefore, Jonathan formed a covenant with the house of David. And the Lord required it from the hands of the enemies of David.
Assim fez Jonathan alliança com a casa de David, dizendo: O Senhor o requeira da mão dos inimigos de David.
17 And Jonathan continued to swear to David, because he loved him. For he loved him like his own soul.
E Jonathan fez jurar a David de novo, porquanto o amava; porque o amava com todo o amor da sua alma.
18 And Jonathan said to him: “Tomorrow is the new moon, and you will be sought.
E disse-lhe Jonathan: Ámanhã é a lua nova, e não te acharão no teu logar, pois o teu assento se achará vazio
19 For your seat will be empty until the day after tomorrow. Therefore, you shall descend quickly, and you shall go to the place where you are to be hidden, on a day when it is lawful to work, and you shall remain beside the stone that is called Ezel.
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 I will shoot three arrows near it, and I will cast them as if I were practicing for myself toward a mark.
E eu atirarei tres frechas para aquella banda, como se atirara ao alvo.
21 Also, I will send a boy, saying to him, ‘Go and bring the arrows to me.’
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 If I will say to the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are before you, take them up,’ you shall approach before me, because there is peace for you, and there is nothing evil, as the Lord lives. But if I will have spoken to the boy in this way, ‘Behold, the arrows are away from you,’ then you shall go away in peace, for the Lord has released you.
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 Now about the word that you and I have spoken, may the Lord be between you and me, even forever.”
E quanto ao negocio de que eu e tu fallámos, eis que o Senhor está entre mim e ti eternamente.
24 Therefore, David was hidden in the field. And the new moon came, and the king sat down to eat bread.
Escondeu-se pois David no campo: e, sendo a lua nova, assentou-se o rei para comer pão.
25 And when the king had sat down on his chair, (according to custom) which was beside the wall, Jonathan rose up, and Abner sat beside Saul, and David’s place appeared empty.
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 And Saul did not say anything on that day. For he was thinking that perhaps something happened to him, so that he was not clean, or not purified.
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 when the second day after the new moon had begun to dawn, David’s place again appeared empty. And Saul said to Jonathan, his son, “Why has the son of Jesse not arrived to eat, neither yesterday, nor 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 Jonathan responded to Saul, “He petitioned me earnestly that he might go to Bethlehem,
E respondeu Jonathan a Saul: David me pediu encarecidamente que o deixasse ir a Beth-lehem,
29 and he said: ‘Permit me. For there is a solemn sacrifice in the city. One of my brothers has summoned me. Now therefore, if I have found favor in your eyes, I will go quickly, and I will see my brothers.’ For this reason, he has not come to the table of the king.”
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, becoming angry against Jonathan, said to him: “You son of a woman wantonly seizing a man! Could I be ignorant that you love the son of Jesse, to your own shame, and to the shame of your disgraceful 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 all the days that the son of Jesse moves upon earth, neither you, nor your kingdom, will be secure. And so, send and bring him to me, here and now. For he is a son of 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 Then Jonathan, answering his father Saul, said: “Why should he die? 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 picked up a lance, so that he might strike him. And Jonathan understood that it had been decided by his father that David be put 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 Therefore, Jonathan rose up from the table in a rage of anger. And he did not eat bread on the second day after the new moon. For he was saddened over David, because his father had confounded 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 And when the morning had begun to dawn, Jonathan went into the field according to the agreement with David, and a young boy was 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 his boy, “Go, and bring to me the arrows that I shoot.” And when the boy had run, he shot another arrow away from the boy.
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 so, the boy went to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot. And Jonathan cried out, from behind the back of boy, and said: “Behold, the arrow is there, farther away from 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 cried out again, from behind the back of the boy, saying, “Go quickly! Do not stand still!” Then Jonathan’s boy collected the arrows, and he brought them to his lord.
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 And he did not understand at all what was happening. For only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
E o moço não entendeu coisa alguma: só Jonathan e David sabiam d'este negocio.
40 Then Jonathan gave his weapons to the boy, and he said to him, “Go, and carry them into the city.”
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 away, David rose up from his place, which turned toward the south, and falling prone on the ground, he reverenced three times. And kissing one another, they wept together, but David more so.
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 Then Jonathan said to David: “Go in peace. And let us both keep all that we have ever sworn in the name of the Lord, saying, ‘May the Lord be between me and you, and between my offspring and your offspring, even forever.’” And David rose up and went away. But Jonathan entered into the city.
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.
