< 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 conplesset loqui ad Saul anima Ionathan conligata est animae David et dilexit eum Ionathan 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 Ionathan et David 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 Ionathan tunicam qua erat vestitus 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 Philistheo David egressae sunt mulieres de universis urbibus Israhel 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 milia
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 iste sermo dixitque dederunt David decem milia et mihi dederunt mille 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 ex 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 esset Dominus 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 Israhel et Iuda diligebat David ipse enim egrediebatur et ingrediebatur 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.
dixit autem Saul ad David ecce filia mea maior Merob ipsam dabo tibi uxorem tantummodo esto vir fortis et proeliare bella Domini Saul autem reputabat dicens non sit manus mea in eo sed sit super illum 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 Israhel 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 Hadrihel 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 Michol filia Saul altera David et nuntiatum 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 dixit ergo 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 vobis videtur 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 renuntiaverunt 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 necesse rex sponsalia nisi tantum centum praeputia Philisthinorum ut fiat ultio de inimicis regis porro Saul cogitabat tradere David in manibus 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 renuntiassent servi eius David verba quae diximus 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 dies paucos surgens David abiit cum viris qui sub eo erant et percussis Philisthim ducentis viris adtulit praeputia eorum et adnumeravit ea regi ut esset gener eius dedit itaque ei Saul 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 quia 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
