1 Samuel 19
1 Then Saul urged all his servants and his son Jonathan to kill David. But Jonathan liked David very much.
Entonces Saúl dio órdenes a su hijo Jonatán y a todos sus siervos para que mataran a David. Pero Jonatán, hijo de Saúl, apreciaba mucho a David.
2 So he warned David, “My father Saul is seeking for a way to kill you. So be careful. Tomorrow morning go and find a place to hide [in the field].
Y Jonatán dijo a David: Mi padre, Saúl, está planeando tu muerte. Así que, cuídate por la mañana y mantente a salvo en un lugar secreto.
3 I will ask my father to go out there with me. [While we are out there], I will talk to him about you. Then I will tell you everything that he tells me.” [So David did what Jonathan told him to do].
Saldré y tomaré mi lugar al lado de mi padre en el campo cerca de donde estás; y hablaré con él sobre ti, y cuando vea cómo están las cosas, te haré saber.
4 [The next morning], Jonathan spoke with his father, saying many good things about David. He said, “You should never do anything to harm your servant David! He has never done anything to harm you! Everything that he has done has helped you very much.
Y Jonatán dio a su padre Saúl un buen relato de David, y le dijo: No se equivoque el rey contra su siervo, contra David; porque no le ha hecho ningún mal, y todos sus actos han tenido un buen resultado para usted.
5 He was in danger of being killed when he fought against [Goliath, the champion of] the Philistia [army. By enabling David to kill him], Yahweh won a great victory for all the people of Israel. You were very happy when you saw that. Why would you want to do anything now to harm David [RHQ]? There is no reason for you to kill him, because he has not done anything wrong!”
Porque puso su vida en peligro y venció al filisteo, y el Señor le dio a todo Israel la salvación. Usted lo vio y se alegró. ¿Por qué, entonces, está pecando contra el que no hizo nada malo, deseando la muerte de David ¿sin causa?
6 Saul listened to what Jonathan said. Then Saul said, “I solemnly promise that just as certain as Yahweh lives, I will not kill David.”
Entonces Saúl escuchó la voz de Jonatán y dijo con juramento: Por el Señor viviente, no debe ser condenado a muerte.
7 Afterward, Jonathan summoned David and told him what he and Saul had said. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and David served Saul as he had done before.
Entonces Jonatán mandó llamar a David y le dio palabra de todas estas cosas. Y Jonatán llevó a David a Saúl, quien lo mantuvo a su lado como en el pasado.
8 One day a war started again, and David [led his soldiers to] fight against the Philistia army. David’s [army] attacked them very furiously, with the result that the Philistia army ran away.
Y hubo otra guerra: y David salió luchando contra los filisteos, causando gran destrucción entre ellos; y salieron en vuelo delante de él.
9 But one day when sitting in his house, an evil spirit [sent] from Yahweh [suddenly] came upon Saul. While David was playing his harp [for Saul],
Y vino un espíritu maligno del Señor sobre Saúl, cuando estaba sentado en su casa con su lanza en la mano; y David tocó música para él.
10 Saul hurled his spear at David to try to fasten him to the wall. David (dodged/jumped to one side), and the spear did not hit him. The spear stuck in the wall, but that night David escaped.
Y Saúl intentó clavar a David con la lanza de él, clavándole a la pared, pero él se escapó y la lanza entró en la pared; y esa noche David salió a la fuga y se escapó.
11 Then Saul sent messengers to David’s house. He told them to watch the house and to kill David [while he was leaving the house] the following morning. But David’s wife Michal [saw them and] warned him, “To survive, you must run away tonight, because if you do not do that, you will be killed tomorrow!”
Entonces, esa noche, Saúl envió hombres a la casa de David para vigilarlo y matarlo por la mañana; y la esposa de David, Mical, le dijo: Si no te vas a un lugar seguro esta noche. Serás ejecutado a la mañana siguiente.
12 So she enabled David to climb out through a window, and he ran away and escaped.
Entonces Mical descolgó a David por la ventana, y él salió corriendo y se escapó.
13 Then Michal took an idol and put it in the bed. She covered it with some [of David’s] clothes, and put some goat’s hair on the head of the idol.
Entonces Mical tomó una estatua la puso en la cama, con un cojín de pelo de cabra en la cabeza, y ella puso ropa encima.
14 When the messengers came [to the house the next morning], she told them that David was sick [and could not get out of bed].
Y cuando Saúl envió a los hombres para que se llevarán a David, ella dijo: Está enfermo.
15 [When they reported that to] Saul, he told them to go back to David’s house. He said to them, “Bring him to me lying on his bed, in order that I can kill him!”
Entonces Saúl envió a sus hombres a ver a David, diciendo: No vuelvas sin él, tómalo en su cama, para que yo pueda matarlo.
16 But when those men entered David’s house, they saw that there was only an idol in the bed, with goat’s hair on its head.
Y cuando entraron los hombres, allí estaba la imagen en la cama, con el cojín de pelo de cabra en la cabeza.
17 [When they reported that to Saul, ] Saul [summoned] Michal [and] said to her, “Why did you trick me like that? You allowed my enemy to escape!” Michal replied to Saul, “David told me that if I did not help him escape, he would kill me!” [RHQ]
Y Saúl le dijo a Mical: ¿por qué has mentido, dejando que mi enemigo se vaya y salga a salvo? Y en respuesta, Mical dijo a Saúl: Él me dijo: Déjame ir o te mataré.
18 After David had escaped from Saul, he went to Samuel, who was [at his home] at Ramah. He told Samuel everything that Saul had done to [try to kill] him. Then David and Samuel went to Naioth, [which was a section] of [Ramah city], and they stayed there.
Entonces David salió en vuelo, se escapó y fue a Ramá, a Samuel, y le contó todo lo que Saúl le había hecho. Y él y Samuel fueron y vivían en Naiot.
19 Someone told Saul that David was in Naioth.
Y se dio la palabra a Saúl de que David estaba en Naiot en Ramá.
20 So Saul sent some messengers to capture David. [When] those messengers [arrived in Ramah, they] met some men who were proclaiming ecstatic messages, and Samuel was there, as their leader. When Saul’s messengers met them, the Spirit of God took control of Saul’s men, and they also spoke ecstatically.
Y Saúl envió hombres a tomar a David; y cuando vieron trabajar a la banda de profetas, con Samuel en su lugar a la cabeza, el espíritu de Dios vino sobre los hombres de Saúl, y cayeron en trance profético.
21 When Saul heard about that, he sent messengers a third time, but they also started to speak ecstatically.
Y teniendo conocimiento de esto, Saúl envió a otros hombres que de la misma cayeron en trance profético. Y una tercera vez Saúl envió hombres, y ellos, como los demás, cayeron en trance profético.
22 Finally, Saul himself went to Ramah. When he arrived at the well at [a place named] Secu, he asked people there, “Where are Samuel and David?” The people replied, “They are at Naioth in Ramah [city].”
Entonces él mismo fue a Ramá y fue al gran manantial de agua en Secu; y preguntando a la gente, dijo: ¿Dónde están Samuel y David? Y uno dijo: Están en Naiot, en Ramá.
23 While Saul was walking toward Naioth, the Spirit of God also took control of him. [While he walked on], he continued speaking ecstatic messages until he came to Naioth.
Y de allí se fue a Naiot en Ramá; y el espíritu de Dios vino sobre él, y cayó en trance profético, hasta que llegó a Naiot en Ramá.
24 There he took off his clothes, and he spoke messages from God in front of Samuel. He lay on the ground doing that all day and all night. That is the reason that [when people see someone doing something that is very unexpected, they think about what happened to Saul, and] they say, “We are surprised, like the people were surprised to see Saul [acting like] a prophet?” [RHQ]
Y se quitó la ropa, estuvo en trance delante de Samuel, y al caer, fue tendido, sin su ropa, todo el día y toda la noche. Esta es la razón del dicho: ¿Está Saúl entre los profetas?
