1 Samuel 18
1 And it came to pass, when he had ended speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
Y después que él hubo acabado de hablar con Saul, el alma de Jonatán fue ligada con la de David, y amóle Jonatán como a su alma.
2 And Saul took him that day, and would not let him return to his father's house.
Y Saul le tomó aquel día, y no le dejó volver a casa de su padre.
3 And Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
E hicieron alianza Jonatán y David, porque él le amaba como a su alma.
4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his dress, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
Y Jonatán se desnudó la ropa que tenía sobre sí, y dióla a David, y otras ropas suyas, hasta su espada y su arco, con su talabarte.
5 And David went forth; whithersoever Saul sent him he prospered; and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
Y salía David, donde quiera que Saul le enviaba, y conducíase prudentemente. Y Saul le hizo capitán de gente de guerra, y era acepto en los ojos de todo el pueblo, y en los ojos de los criados de Saul.
6 And it came to pass as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambours, with joy, and with triangles.
Y aconteció que como ellos volvieron, y David volvió de matar al Filisteo, salieron las mujeres de todas las ciudades de Israel cantando, y con danzas, con adufes, y con alegrías y panderos a recibir al rey Saul.
7 And the women answered [one another] as they played, and said, Saul hath smitten his thousands, And David his ten thousands.
Y cantaban las mujeres que danzaban y decían: Saul hirió sus miles, y David sus diez miles.
8 And Saul was very wroth, and that saying was evil in his sight; and he said, They have ascribed to David ten thousands, but to me they have ascribed the thousands; and [what] is there more for him but the kingdom?
Y enojóse Saul en gran manera, y desagradó esta palabra en sus ojos, y dijo: A David dieron diez miles y a mí miles: no le queda más que el reino.
9 And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
Y desde aquel día Saul miró de través a David.
10 And it came to pass the next day that an evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house, but David played with his hand, as on other days; and the spear was in Saul's hand.
Otro día aconteció que el espíritu malo de Dios tomó a Saul, y profetizaba dentro de su casa; y David tañía con su mano como los otros días; y estaba una lanza a mano de Saul.
11 And Saul cast the spear, and thought, I will smite David and the wall. But David turned away from him twice.
Y arrojó Saul la lanza, diciendo: Enclavaré a David con la pared; y dos veces se apartó de él David.
12 And Saul was afraid of David, because Jehovah was with him, and had departed from Saul.
Mas Saul se temía de David, por cuanto Jehová era con él, y se había apartado de Saul.
13 And Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
Y Saul le apartó de sí, e hízole capitán de mil, y salía y entraba delante del pueblo.
14 And David prospered in all his ways; and Jehovah was with him.
Y David se conducía prudentemente en todos sus negocios, y Jehová era con él.
15 And Saul saw that he prospered well, and he stood in awe of him.
Y viendo Saul que se conducía tan prudentemente, temíase de él.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, for he went out and came in before them.
Mas todo Israel y Judá amaba a David, porque él salía y entraba delante de ellos.
17 And Saul said to David, Behold my eldest daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife; only be thou valiant for me, and fight Jehovah's battles. But Saul thought, My hand shall not be upon him, but the hand of the Philistines shall be upon him.
Y dijo Saul a David: He aquí, yo te daré a Merob mi hija mayor por mujer: solamente porque me seas valiente hombre, y hagas las guerras de Jehová. Mas Saul decía en sí: No será mi mano contra él, mas la mano de los Filisteos será contra él.
18 And David said to Saul, Who am I? and what is my life, [or] my father's family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?
Y David respondió a Saul: ¿Quién soy yo, o qué es mi vida, o la familia de mi padre en Israel, para ser yerno del rey?
19 And it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul's daughter should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.
Y venido el tiempo en que Merob, hija de Saul, se había de dar a David, fue dada por mujer a Adriel Meholatita.
20 And Michal Saul's daughter loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing was right in his sight.
Mas Micol la otra hija de Saul amaba a David; y fue dicho a Saul, lo cual plugo en sus ojos.
21 And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be upon him. And Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son-in-law a second time.
Y Saul dijo en sí: Yo se la daré, para que le sea por lazo: y para que la mano de los Filisteos sea contra él. Y dijo Saul a David: Con la otra serás mi yerno hoy.
22 And Saul commanded his servants, Speak with David secretly, saying, Behold, the king has delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: now therefore be the king's son-in-law.
Y Saul mandó a sus criados: Hablád en secreto a David, diciéndole: He aquí, el rey te ama, y todos sus criados te quieren bien, sé pues yerno del rey.
23 And Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said, Is it a light thing in your eyes to be the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?
Y los criados de Saul hablaron estas palabras a los oídos de David: y David dijo: ¿Pareceos a vosotros que es poco ser yerno del rey, siendo yo un hombre pobre y de ninguna estima?
24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner did David speak.
Y los criados de Saul le dieron la respuesta, diciendo: Tales palabras ha dicho David.
25 And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David: The king does not desire any dowry, but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
Y Saul dijo: Decíd así a David: No está el contentamiento del rey en el dote, sino en cien prepucios de Filisteos, para que sea tomada venganza de los enemigos del rey. Mas Saul pensaba echar a David en las manos de los Filisteos.
26 And his servants told David these words; and the thing was right in David's sight to be the king's son-in-law. And the days were not expired,
Y como sus criados declararon a David estas palabras, plugo la cosa en los ojos de David, de ser yerno del rey. Y el plazo no era aun cumplido.
27 when David arose and went, he and his men, and smote of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they delivered them in full to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter as wife.
Y David se levantó y partióse con sus varones, e hirió doscientos hombres de los Filisteos, y David trajo los prepucios de ellos, y entregáronlos todos al rey, para que él fuese hecho yerno del rey: y Saul le dio a su hija Micol por mujer.
28 And Saul saw and knew that Jehovah was with David; and Michal Saul's daughter loved him.
Y Saul viendo y considerando que Jehová era con David, y que su hija Micol le amaba,
29 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was David's enemy continually.
Temióse más Saul de David, y fue Saul enemigo de David todos los días.
30 And the princes of the Philistines went forth; and it came to pass, whenever they went forth, that David succeeded better than all the servants of Saul; and his name was much esteemed.
Y salían los príncipes de los Filisteos; y como ellos salían, David se conducía más prudentemente que todos los siervos de Saul: y su nombre era muy ilustre.
