1 Samuel 18
1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
E assim que ele acabou de falar com Saul, a alma de Jônatas se apegou à de Davi, e Jônatas o amou como à sua alma.
2 And Saul took him that day, and would not let him return to his father’s house.
E Saul o tomou naquele dia, e não o deixou voltar à casa de seu pai.
3 And David and Jonathan made a covenant, for be loved him as his own soul.
E fizeram aliança Jônatas e Davi, porque ele lhe amava como a sua alma.
4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the coat with which he was clothed, and gave it to David, and the rest of his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
E Jônatas despiu a roupa que tinha sobre si, e deu-a a Davi, e outras roupas suas, até sua espada, e seu arco, e seu cinto.
5 And David went out to whatsoever business Saul sent him, and he behaved himself prudently: and Saul set him over the soldiers, and he was acceptable in the eyes of all the people, and especially in the eyes of Saul’s servants.
E Davi saía para onde quer que Saul o enviasse, e portava-se prudentemente. Fê-lo, portanto, Saul capitão da gente de guerra, e era aceito aos olhos de todo o povo, e nos olhos dos criados de Saul.
6 Now when David returned, after be slew the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with timbrels of joy, and cornets.
E aconteceu que quando voltavam eles, quando Davi voltou de matar ao filisteu, saíram as mulheres de todas as cidades de Israel cantando, e com danças, com tamboris, e com alegrias e adufes, a receber ao rei Saul.
7 And the women sung as they played, and they said: I Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
E cantavam as mulheres que dançavam, e diziam: Saul feriu seus milhares, E Davi seus dez milhares.
8 And Saul was exceeding angry, and this word was displeasing in his eyes, and he said: They have given David ten thousands, and to me they have given but a thousand; what can he have more but the kingdom?
E irou-se Saul em grande maneira, e desagradou esta palavra em seus olhos, e disse: A Davi deram dez milhares, e a mim milhares; não lhe falta mais que o reino.
9 And Saul did not look on David with a good eye from that day and forward.
E desde aquele dia Saul olhou com desconfiança a Davi.
10 And the day after the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David played with his hand as at other times. And Saul held a spear in his hand,
Outro dia aconteceu que o espírito mau da parte de Deus tomou a Saul, e mostrava-se em sua casa com trejeitos de profeta: e Davi tocava com sua mão como os outros dias; e estava uma lança à mão de Saul.
11 And threw it, thinking to nail David to the wall: and David stept aside out of his presence twice.
E lançou Saul a lança, dizendo: Encravarei a Davi na parede. E duas vezes se afastou dele Davi.
12 And Saul feared David, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from himself.
Mas Saul se temia de Davi porquanto o SENHOR era com ele, e havia se afastado de Saul.
13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him a captain over a thousand men, and he went out and came in before the people.
Afastou-o, pois, Saul de si, e fez-lhe capitão de mil; e saía e entrava diante do povo.
14 And David behaved wisely in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.
E Davi se conduzia prudentemente em todos seus negócios, e o SENHOR era com ele.
15 And Saul saw that he was exceeding prudent, and began to beware of him.
E vendo Saul que se portava tão prudentemente, temia-se dele.
16 But all Israel and Juda loved David, for he came in and went out before them.
Mas todos os de Israel e Judá amavam a Davi, porque ele saía e entrava diante deles.
17 And Saul said to David: Behold my elder daughter Merob, her will I give thee to wife: only be a valiant man, and fight the battles of the Lord. Now Saul said within himself: Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hands of the Philistines be upon him.
E disse Saul a Davi: Eis que eu te darei a Merabe minha filha maior por mulher: somente que me sejas homem valente, e faças as guerras do SENHOR. Mas Saul dizia: Não será minha mão contra ele, mas a mão dos filisteus será contra ele.
18 And David said to Saul: Who am I, or what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son in law of the king?
E Davi respondeu a Saul: Quem sou eu, ou que é minha vida, ou a família de meu pai em Israel, para ser genro do rei?
19 And it came to pass at the time when Merob the daughter of Saul should have been given to David, that she was given to Hadriel the Molathite to wife.
E vindo o tempo em que Merabe, filha de Saul, se havia de dar a Davi, foi dada por mulher a Adriel meolatita.
20 But Michol the other daughter of Saul loved David. And it was told Saul, and it pleased him.
Mas Mical a outra filha de Saul amava a Davi; e foi dito a Saul, o qual foi conveniente em seus olhos.
21 And Saul said: I will give her to him, that she may be a stumblingblock to him, and that the band of the Philistines may be upon him. And Saul said to David: In two things thou shalt be my son in law this day.
E Saul disse: Eu a darei a ele, para que lhe seja por armadilha, e para que a mão dos filisteus seja contra ele. Disse, pois, Saul a Davi: Com a outra serás meu genro hoje.
22 And Saul commanded his servants to speak to David privately, saying: Behold thou pleasest the king, and all his servants love thee. Now therefore be the king’s son in law.
E mandou Saul a seus criados: Falai em secreto a Davi, dizendo-lhe: Eis que, o rei te ama, e todos seus criados te querem bem; sê, pois, genro do rei.
23 And the servants of Saul spoke all these words in the ears of David. And David said: Doth it seem to you a small matter to be the king’s son in law? But I am a poor man, and of small ability.
E os criados de Saul falaram estas palavras aos ouvidos de Davi. E Davi disse: Parece-vos que é pouco ser genro do rei, sendo eu um homem pobre e de nenhuma estima?
24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying: Such words as these hath David spoken.
E os criados de Saul lhe deram a resposta dizendo: Tais palavras disse Davi.
25 And Saul said: Speak thus to David: The king desireth not any dowry, but only a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies. Now Saul thought to deliver David into the hands of the Philistines.
E Saul disse: Dizei assim a Davi: Não está o contentamento do rei no dote, mas sim em cem prepúcios de filisteus, para que seja tomada vingança dos inimigos do rei. Mas Saul pensava lançar a Davi em mãos dos filisteus.
26 And when his servants had told David the words that Saul had said, the word was pleasing in the eyes of David to be the king’s son in law.
E quando seus criados declararam a Davi estas palavras, foi conveniente a coisa nos olhos de Davi, para ser genro do rei. E quando o prazo não era ainda cumprido,
27 And after a few days David rose up, and went with the men that were under him, and he slew of the Philistines two hundred men, and brought their foreskins and numbered them out to the king, that he might be his son in law. Saul therefore gave him Michol his daughter to wife.
Levantou-se Davi, e partiu-se com sua gente, e feriu duzentos homens dos filisteus; e trouxe Davi os prepúcios deles, e entregaram-nos todos ao rei, para que ele fosse feito genro do rei. E Saul lhe deu a sua filha Mical por mulher.
28 And Saul saw, and understood that the Lord was with David. And Michol the daughter of Saul loved him.
Porém Saul, vendo e considerando que o SENHOR era com Davi, e que sua filha Mical o amava,
29 And Saul began to fear David more: and Saul became David’s enemy continually.
Temeu-se mais de Davi; e foi Saul inimigo de Davi todos os dias.
30 And the princes of the Philistines went forth: and from the beginning of their going forth, David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul, and his name became very famous.
E saíam os príncipes dos filisteus; e quando eles saíam, portava-se Davi mais prudentemente que todos os servos de Saul: e era seu nome muito ilustre.
