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.
E sucedeu que, acabando ele de falar com Saul, a alma de Jonathan se ligou com a alma de David: e Jonathan o amou, como à sua própria alma.
2 And Saul took him on that day, and would not permit him to go home to his father's house.
E Saul naquele dia o tomou, e não lhe permitiu que tornasse para casa de seu pai.
3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because of his loving him as his own soul.
E Jonathan e David fizeram aliança: porque Jonathan o amava como à sua própria alma.
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.
E Jonathan se despojou da capa que trazia sobre si, e a deu a David, como também os seus vestidos, até a sua espada, e o seu arco, e o seu cinto.
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.
E saía David aonde quer que Saul o enviava, e conduzia-se com prudência, e Saul o pôs sobre a gente de guerra: e era aceito aos olhos de todo o povo, e até aos olhos dos servos de 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.
Sucedeu porém que, vindo eles, quando David voltava de ferir os philisteus, as mulheres de todas as cidades de Israel sairam ao encontro do rei Saul, cantando, e em danças, com adufes, com alegria, e com instrumentos de música.
7 And the women that played answered one another, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
E as mulheres tangendo, se respondiam umas às outras, e diziam: Saul feriu os seus milhares, porém David os seus dez milhares.
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.
Então Saul se indignou muito, e aquela palavra pareceu mal aos seus olhos, e disse: Dez milhares deram a David, e a mim somente milhares; na verdade, que lhe falta, senão só o reino?
9 And Saul looked jealous on David from that day and forward.
E, desde aquele dia em diante, Saul tinha David em suspeita.
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.
E aconteceu ao outro dia, que o mau espírito da parte de Deus se apoderou de Saul, e profetizava no meio da casa: e David tangia com a sua mão, como de dia em dia: Saul porém tinha na mão uma lança.
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.
E Saul atirou com a lança, dizendo: Encravarei a David na parede. Porém David se desviou dele por duas vezes.
12 And Saul was afraid of David; because the Lord was with him, and from Saul he was departed.
E temia Saul a David, porque o Senhor era com ele e se tinha retirado de Saul.
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.
Pelo que Saul o desviou de si, e o pôs por chefe de mil: e saía e entrava diante do povo.
14 And David was successful on all his ways; and the Lord was with him.
E David se conduzia com prudência em todos os seus caminhos, e o Senhor era com ele.
15 And when Saul saw that he was very successful, he was in dread of him.
Vendo então Saul que tão prudentemente se conduzia, tinha receio dele.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David; because he went out and came in before them.
Porém todo o Israel e Judá amava a David, porquanto saía e entrava diante deles.
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.
Pelo que Saul disse a David: Eis que Merab, minha filha mais velha, te darei por mulher; sê-me somente filho valoroso, e guerreia as guerras do Senhor (porque Saul dizia consigo: Não seja contra ele a minha mão, mas sim a dos philisteus).
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?
Mas David disse a Saul: Quem sou eu, e qual é a minha vida e a família de meu pai em Israel, para vir a ser genro do rei?
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.
Sucedeu, porém, que ao tempo que Merab, filha de Saul, devia ser dada a David, ela foi dada por mulher a Adriel, meholathita.
20 And Michal Saul's daughter loved David: and they told it to Saul, and the thing was right in his eyes.
Mas Michal, a outra filha de Saul amava a David: o que, sendo anunciado a Saul, pareceu isto bom aos seus olhos.
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.
E Saul disse: Eu lha darei, para que lhe sirva de laço, e para que a mão dos philisteus venha a ser contra ele. Pelo que Saul disse a David: Com a outra serás hoje meu genro.
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.
E Saul deu ordem aos seus servos: falai em segredo a David, dizendo: Eis que o rei te está mui afeiçoado, e todos os seus servos te amam; agora, pois, consente em ser genro do rei.
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?
E os servos de Saul falaram todas estas palavras aos ouvidos de David. Então disse David: Parece-vos pouco aos vossos olhos ser genro do rei, sendo eu homem pobre e desprezível?
24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying, Words such as these David hath spoken.
E os servos de Saul lhe anunciaram isto, dizendo: Foram tais as palavras que falou 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.
Então disse Saul: Assim direis a David: O rei não tem necessidade de dote, senão de cem prepúcios de philisteus, para se tomar vingança dos inimigos do rei. Porquanto Saul tentava fazer cair a David pela mão dos philisteus.
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,
E anunciaram os seus servos estas palavras a David, e este negócio pareceu bem aos olhos de David, de que fosse genro do rei: porém ainda os dias se não haviam cumprido.
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.
Então David se levantou, e partiu ele com os seus homens, e feriram dentre os philisteus duzentos homens, e David trouxe os seus prepúcios, e os entregaram todos ao rei, para que fosse genro do rei: então Saul lhe deu por mulher a sua filha.
28 And Saul saw and understood that the Lord was with David: and Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him.
E viu Saul, e notou que o Senhor era com David: e Michal, filha de Saul, o amava.
29 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was David's enemy all the time.
Então Saul temeu muito mais a David: e Saul foi todos os seus dias inimigo de David.
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.
E, saindo os príncipes dos philisteus, sucedeu que, saindo eles, David se conduziu mais prudentemente do que todos os servos de Saul: portanto o seu nome era mui estimado.
