1 Samuel 18
1 After David finished talking with Saul, [he met Saul’s son, Jonathan.] Jonathan [immediately] liked David; in fact, he began to love/like him as much as he loved/liked himself.
Quando ele terminou de falar com Saul, a alma de Jonathan foi tricotada com a alma de David, e Jonathan o amava como se fosse sua própria alma.
2 From that day, Saul kept David with him, and did not let him return home.
Saul o levou naquele dia, e não o deixou mais voltar para casa de seu pai.
3 Because Jonathan loved David so much, he made a solemn agreement with David. [They promised each other that they would always be loyal friends].
Então Jonathan e David fizeram um pacto, porque o amavam como se fosse sua própria alma.
4 Jonathan took off his own outer robe and gave it to David. He also gave David his soldier’s tunic, his sword, his bow [and arrows], and his belt.
Jonathan se despiu do manto que estava sobre ele e o deu a David com suas roupas, incluindo até mesmo sua espada, seu arco e sua faixa.
5 [David went wherever Saul sent him. And] whatever Saul told him to do, David did it very successfully. As a result, Saul appointed David to be a commander in the army. All the officers and other men in the army (approved of/were very pleased with) that.
David saiu para onde Saul o enviou, e se comportou sabiamente; e Saul o colocou sobre os homens de guerra. Foi bom aos olhos de todo o povo, e também aos olhos dos servos de Saul.
6 But, when the men in the army were returning home after David had killed Goliath, the women came out from many [HYP] towns in Israel to meet/greet King Saul. They were singing and dancing very joyfully, playing tambourines and lyres.
Quando chegaram, quando Davi voltou da matança do filisteu, as mulheres saíram de todas as cidades de Israel, cantando e dançando, para encontrar o rei Saul com pandeiros, com alegria e com instrumentos de música.
7 As they danced, they sang this song to each other: “Saul has killed 1,000 [enemy soldiers], But David has killed 10,000 [of them].”
As mulheres cantaram umas para as outras enquanto tocavam, e disseram, “Saul matou seus milhares, e David seus dez mil”.
8 [When] Saul [heard them singing that, he] did not like it. He became very angry. He said [to himself], “They are saying that David [killed] 10,000 men, but that I [have killed] only 1,000. Soon they will want to make him their king!” [RHQ]
Saul estava muito irritado, e este ditado o desagradou. Ele disse: “Eles creditaram a David dez mil, e só me creditaram a mim milhares. O que ele pode ter mais a não ser o reino”?
9 From that time, Saul watched David very closely because he was suspicious [that David would try to become king].
Saul observou Davi daquele dia em diante.
10 The next day, an evil spirit sent by God suddenly took control of Saul. He began to act like a madman, inside his house. David was playing the lyre for him, as he did every day. Saul was holding a spear in his hand,
No dia seguinte, um espírito maligno de Deus veio poderosamente sobre Saul, e ele profetizou no meio da casa. David brincou com sua mão, como fazia dia após dia. Saul tinha sua lança na mão;
11 and he hurled it [at David], saying to himself, “I will fasten David to the wall with the spear!” He did that two times, but David jumped aside [both times].
e Saul atirou a lança, pois disse: “Vou prender Davi à parede”. Davi escapou de sua presença duas vezes.
12 Because [it became evident that] Yahweh had abandoned Saul but [that] he was helping David, Saul was afraid of David.
Saul tinha medo de Davi, porque Iavé estava com ele, e havia se afastado de Saul.
13 So he appointed David as a commander of 1,000 soldiers and sent David away from him, [hoping that David would be killed in a battle]. But when David led his soldiers [in their battles],
Therefore Saul o retirou de sua presença, e o fez seu capitão mais de mil; e ele saiu e entrou diante do povo.
14 he always had great success, because Yahweh was helping him.
David comportou-se sabiamente em todos os seus modos; e Yahweh estava com ele.
15 When Saul heard that David [and his soldiers were] very successful, he became more afraid of David.
Quando Saul viu que ele se comportava muito sabiamente, ele ficou admirado com ele.
16 But all the people of Israel and of Judah loved David, because he led the soldiers very successfully [in the battles].
Mas todo Israel e Judá amavam Davi; pois ele saía e entrava diante deles.
17 One day Saul said to David, “I am ready to give you my oldest daughter, Merab, to be your wife. I will do that if you serve me bravely by fighting battles for Yahweh [against the Philistines]”. He said that because he thought, “I will not try to get rid of David by myself. I will allow the Philistines to do that.”
Saul disse a Davi: “Eis minha filha mais velha, Merab. Eu a darei a você como esposa. Sede valentes somente para mim, e travai as batalhas de Iavé”. Pois Saul disse: “Não deixe que minha mão esteja sobre ele, mas que a mão dos filisteus esteja sobre ele”.
18 But David said to Saul, “I am not [RHQ] a very important person, and my family is not very important, and my clan is not a very important Israeli clan. So I do not deserve to become your son-in-law.” [RHQ]
David disse a Saul: “Quem sou eu, e o que é minha vida, ou a família de meu pai em Israel, que eu deveria ser genro do rei”?
19 So, when it was time for Merab to be given to David to become his wife, instead, Saul gave her to a man named Adriel, from Meholah [town].
Mas na época em que Merab, filha de Saul, deveria ter sido dada a David, ela foi dada a Adriel, o Meholathite, como esposa.
20 But Saul’s other daughter, Michal, fell in love with David. When they told Saul about that, he was pleased.
Michal, a filha de Saul, amava David; e eles disseram a Saul, e a coisa o agradou.
21 He thought, “I will let Michal marry him, in order that she may trap him, and the Philistines will be able to kill him.” So he said to David, [“You can marry Michal],” and by saying that, he indicated for the second time that David would become his son-in-law.
Saul disse, eu a darei a ele, que ela pode ser uma armadilha para ele e que a mão dos filisteus pode estar contra ele. Por isso, Saul disse a Davi uma segunda vez: “Tu serás hoje meu genro”.
22 Saul told his servants, “Talk to David privately, and say to him, ‘Listen, the king is pleased with you, and all of us his servants love you. So now [we think that] you should [marry Michal and] become the king’s son-in-law.’”
Saul ordenou a seus servos: “Falai em segredo com Davi e dizei: 'Eis que o rei tem prazer em vós, e todos os seus servos vos amam'. Agora, portanto, sede genro do rei”.
23 So they told that to David. But David said, “It would be a great honor [RHQ] to become the king’s son-in-law. But [I do not think that I should do that, because] I am only a poor and insignificant man.”
Os criados de Saul pronunciaram essas palavras aos ouvidos de David. David disse: “Parece-lhe uma coisa leve ser genro do rei, já que sou um homem pobre e pouco conhecido”?
24 When the servants told Saul what David had said,
Os criados de Saul disseram a ele, dizendo: “David falou assim”.
25 Saul replied, “Go and say to David, ‘[In order for] the king [to allow you to marry Michal, he] wants [you to kill] 100 Philistines [and cut off] their foreskins [and bring the foreskins to him to prove that you have killed them]. In that way he will get revenge on his enemies.’” But what Saul wanted was that the Philistines would kill David [while David was trying to kill them].
Saul disse: “Diga a David: 'O rei não deseja nenhum dote, exceto cem prepúcios dos filisteus, para se vingar dos inimigos do rei'”. Agora Saul pensava que faria Davi cair pela mão dos filisteus.
26 When the servants told that to David, he was very pleased that he could become the king’s son-in-law [by doing that. The king had said how many days he would allow for David to do that]. But before that time ended,
Quando seus servos disseram a Davi estas palavras, agradou bem a Davi ser genro do rei. Antes do prazo,
27 David and his men went and killed, [not 100, but] 200 Philistines! He brought their foreskins to Saul, and counted them [while Saul was watching], in order to prove that he had [done what the king required so that he could become Saul’s son-in-law. So then Saul was obligated] to allow David to marry his daughter Michal.
David levantou-se e foi, ele e seus homens, e matou duzentos homens dos filisteus. Então Davi trouxe seus prepúcios, e eles os deram em número total ao rei, para que ele pudesse ser genro do rei. Então Saul deu a ele Michal sua filha como esposa.
28 But when Saul realized that Yahweh was helping David, and that his daughter loved David,
Saul viu e sabia que Yahweh estava com David; e Michal, filha de Saul, o amava.
29 he became more afraid of David. So, as long as Saul lived, he was David’s enemy.
Saul tinha ainda mais medo de Davi; e Saul era o inimigo de Davi continuamente.
30 The Philistine armies repeatedly came to fight the Israelis, but every time they fought, David and his soldiers were more successful than any of Saul’s other army commanders. As a result, David became very famous.
Então os príncipes dos filisteus saíram; e, tantas vezes quanto eles saíam, Davi se comportava mais sabiamente do que todos os servos de Saul, de modo que seu nome era muito estimado.
