1 Samuel 18
1 It happened, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with 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 Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more 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 he loved him as his own soul.
E Jonathan e David fizeram aliança: porque Jonathan o amava como à sua própria alma.
4 Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him, and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his belt.
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 Then Saul set him over the men of war, and David went out, succeeding wherever Saul sent him. And it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
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 It happened 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 tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music.
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 The women sang one to another as they played, and said, "Saul has slain his thousands, 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 Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him; and he said, "They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands. What can he have more but 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 Saul viewed David with suspicion from that day and forward.
E, desde aquele dia em diante, Saul tinha David em suspeita.
10 It happened on the next day, that a harmful spirit from God came mightily on Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house. David played with his hand, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand;
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 threw the spear; for he said, "I will pin David even to the wall." David escaped from his presence twice.
E Saul atirou com a lança, dizendo: Encravarei a David na parede. Porém David se desviou dele por duas vezes.
12 Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and had departed from Saul.
E temia Saul a David, porque o Senhor era com ele e se tinha retirado de Saul.
13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, 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 David behaved himself wisely in 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 When Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.
Vendo então Saul que tão prudentemente se conduzia, tinha receio dele.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
Porém todo o Israel e Judá amava a David, porquanto saía e entrava diante deles.
17 Saul said to David, "Look, my elder daughter Merob, I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight the LORD's battles." For Saul said, "Do not let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on 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 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?"
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 Merob, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as 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 Mikal, Saul's daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
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 thought, "I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." Therefore Saul said to David, "You shall this day be my son-in-law a second time."
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 Then Saul commanded his servants, "Talk with David secretly, and say, 'Look, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. So now therefore be 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 Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. David said, "Does it seems to you a little thing to be the king's son-in-law, since I am a poor man, and insignificant?"
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 The servants of Saul told him, saying, "David spoke like this."
E os servos de Saul lhe anunciaram isto, dizendo: Foram tais as palavras que falou David.
25 Saul said, "You shall tell David, 'The king desires no dowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies.'" Now Saul thought to make David 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 When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. The days were not expired;
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 and David arose and went, he and his men, and killed of the Philistines one hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Mikal his daughter as 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 When Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that all Israel loved him,
E viu Saul, e notou que o Senhor era com David: e Michal, filha de Saul, o amava.
29 then he was even more afraid of David. So Saul was David's enemy continually.
Então Saul temeu muito mais a David: e Saul foi todos os seus dias inimigo de David.
30 Then the leaders of the Philistines went forth: and it happened, as often as they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly esteemed.
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.
