1 Samuel 18
1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit on the soul of David; and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
Et factum est cum complesset loqui ad Saul: anima Ionathae conglutinata est animae David, et dilexit eum Ionathas quasi animam suam.
2 And Saul took him on that day, and would not permit him to go home to his father's house.
Tulitque eum Saul in die illa, et non concessit ei ut reverteretur in domum patris sui.
3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because of his loving him as his own soul.
Inierunt autem David et Ionathas foedus: diligebat enim eum quasi animam suam.
4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that he had upon him, and gave it to David, and likewise his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
Nam expoliavit se Ionathas tunica, qua erat indutus, et dedit eam David, et reliqua vestimenta sua usque ad gladium et arcum suum, et usque ad balteum.
5 And David went out; whithersoever Saul used to send him, he was successful; and Saul set him over the men of war; and he was accepted in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul.
Egrediebatur quoque David ad omnia quaecumque misisset eum Saul, et prudenter se agebat: posuitque eum Saul super viros belli, et acceptus erat in oculis universi populi, maximeque in conspectu famulorum Saul.
6 And it came to pass as they came home, when David returned from smiting the Philistines, that the women came forth out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with triangles.
Porro cum reverteretur percusso Philisthaeo David, et ferret caput eius in Ierusalem egressae sunt mulieres de universis urbibus Israel, cantantes, chorosque ducentes in occursum Saul regis, in tympanis laetitiae, et in sistris.
7 And the women that played answered one another, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
Et praecinebant mulieres ludentes, atque dicentes: Percussit Saul mille, et David decem millia.
8 And Saul was very wroth, and this saying was displeasing in his eyes; and he said, They have given unto David ten thousands, and to me they have given the thousands: and all that he lacketh now yet is only the kingdom.
Iratus est autem Saul nimis, et displicuit in oculis eius sermo iste: dixitque: Dederunt David decem millia, et mihi mille dederunt: quid ei superest, nisi solum regnum?
9 And Saul looked jealous on David from that day and forward.
Non rectis ergo oculis Saul aspiciebat David a die illa, et deinceps.
10 And it came to pass on the morrow, that an evil spirit from God came suddenly over Saul, and he spoke foolish things in the midst of the house: while David was playing with his hand, as on previous days; and the spear was in the hand of Saul.
Post diem autem alteram, invasit spiritus Dei malus Saul, et prophetabat in medio domus suae: David autem psallebat manu sua, sicut per singulos dies. tenebatque Saul lanceam,
11 And Saul cast the spear; and he thought, I will strike David through even on the wall. And David turned aside out of his presence twice.
et misit eam, putans quod configere posset David cum pariete: et declinavit David a facie eius secundo.
12 And Saul was afraid of David; because the Lord was with him, and from Saul he was departed.
Et timuit Saul David, eo quod Dominus esset cum eo, et a se recessisset.
13 Therefore Saul removed him from himself, and made him his captain over a thousand: and he went out and came in before the people.
Amovit ergo eum Saul a se, et fecit eum tribunum super mille viros: et egrediebatur, et intrabat in conspectu populi.
14 And David was successful on all his ways; and the Lord was with him.
In omnibus quoque viis suis David prudenter agebat, et Dominus erat cum eo.
15 And when Saul saw that he was very successful, he was in dread of him.
Vidit itaque Saul quod prudens esset nimis, et coepit cavere eum.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David; because he went out and came in before them.
Omnis autem Israel et Iuda diligebat David: ipse enim ingrediebatur et egrediebatur ante eos.
17 And Saul said to David, Behold, here is my eldest daughter Merab, her will I give to thee for wife: only be thou unto me a man of valor, and fight the Lord's battles. And Saul thought, Let not my hand be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him.
Dixitque Saul ad David: Ecce filia mea maior Merob, ipsam dabo tibi uxorem: tantummodo esto vir fortis, et praeliare bella Domini. Saul autem reputabat, dicens: Non sit manus mea in eo, sed sit super eum manus Philisthinorum.
18 And David said unto Saul, Who am I? and what is my life, [or] my father's family in Israel, that I should be a son-in-law to the king?
Ait autem David ad Saul: Quis ego sum, aut quae est vita mea, aut cognatio patris mei in Israel, ut fiam gener regis?
19 But it happened at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter should have been given to David, that she was given unto 'Adriel the Mecholathite for wife.
Factum est autem tempus cum deberet dari Merob filia Saul David, data est Hadrieli Molathitae uxor.
20 And Michal Saul's daughter loved David: and they told it to Saul, and the thing was right in his eyes.
Dilexit autem David Michol filiam Saul alteram. Et nunciatum est Saul, et placuit ei.
21 And Saul said, I will give her to him, that she may become unto him a snare, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Through the second shalt thou this day become my son-in-law.
Dixitque Saul: Dabo eam illi, ut fiat ei in scandalum, et sit super eum manus Philisthinorum. Dixitque Saul ad David: In duabus rebus gener meus eris hodie.
22 And Saul commanded his servants, Speak to David secretly, saying, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee; and now thou must become the king's son-in-law.
Et mandavit Saul servis suis: Loquimini ad David clam me, dicentes: Ecce places regi, et omnes servi eius diligunt te. Nunc ergo esto gener regis.
23 And the servants of Saul spoke in the ears of David these words. And David said, Doth it seem so light in your eyes to become the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, and of light esteem?
Et locuti sunt servi Saul in auribus David omnia verba haec. Et ait David: Num parum videtur vobis, generum esse regis? Ego autem sum vir pauper et tenuis.
24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying, Words such as these David hath spoken.
Et renunciaverunt servi Saul, dicentes: Huiuscemodi verba locutus est David.
25 And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged on the king's enemies. But Saul thought to cause David to fall by the hand of the Philistines.
Dixit autem Saul: Sic loquimini ad David: Non habet rex sponsalia necesse, nisi tantum centum praeputia Philisthinorum, ut fiat ultio de inimicis regis. Porro Saul cogitabat tradere David in manus Philisthinorum.
26 And when his servants told David these words, the thing was pleasing in the eyes of David to become the king's son-in-law: and the days were not complete,
Cumque renunciassent servi eius David verba, quae dixerat Saul, placuit sermo in oculis David, ut fieret gener regis.
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 counted them out in full to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter for wife.
Et post paucos dies surgens David, abiit cum viris, qui sub eo erant. Et percussit ex Philisthiim ducentos viros, et attulit eorum praeputia, et annumeravit ea regi, ut esset gener eius. Dedit itaque Saul ei Michol filiam suam uxorem.
28 And Saul saw and understood that the Lord was with David: and Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him.
Et vidit Saul, et intellexit quod Dominus esset cum David. Michol autem filia Saul diligebat eum.
29 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was David's enemy all the time.
Et Saul magis coepit timere David: factusque est Saul inimicus David cunctis diebus.
30 And the princes of the Philistines went forth; and it came to pass, whenever they went forth, that David was more successful than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly prized.
Et egressi sunt principes Philisthinorum. a principio autem egressionis eorum, prudentius se gerebat David quam omnes servi Saul, et celebre factum est nomen eius nimis.
