I Samuelis 18
1 et factum est cum conplesset loqui ad Saul anima Ionathan conligata est animae David et dilexit eum Ionathan quasi animam suam
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.
2 tulitque eum Saul in die illa et non concessit ei ut reverteretur in domum patris sui
Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.
3 inierunt autem Ionathan et David foedus diligebat enim eum quasi animam suam
Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
4 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
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.
5 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
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.
6 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
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.
7 et praecinebant mulieres ludentes atque dicentes percussit Saul mille et David decem milia
The women sang one to another as they played, and said, "Saul has slain his thousands, David his ten thousands."
8 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
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?"
9 non rectis ergo oculis Saul aspiciebat David ex die illa et deinceps
Saul viewed David with suspicion from that day and forward.
10 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
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;
11 et misit eam putans quod configere posset David cum pariete et declinavit David a facie eius secundo
and Saul threw the spear; for he said, "I will pin David even to the wall." David escaped from his presence twice.
12 et timuit Saul David eo quod esset Dominus cum eo et a se recessisset
Saul was afraid of David, because Jehovah was with him, and had departed from Saul.
13 amovit ergo eum Saul a se et fecit eum tribunum super mille viros et egrediebatur et intrabat in conspectu populi
Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
14 in omnibus quoque viis suis David prudenter agebat et Dominus erat cum eo
David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and Jehovah was with him.
15 vidit itaque Saul quod prudens esset nimis et coepit cavere eum
When Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.
16 omnis autem Israhel et Iuda diligebat David ipse enim egrediebatur et ingrediebatur ante eos
But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
17 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
Saul said to David, "Look, my elder daughter Merob, I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight Jehovah's battles." For Saul said, "Do not let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him."
18 ait autem David ad Saul quis ego sum aut quae est vita mea aut cognatio patris mei in Israhel ut fiam gener regis
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?"
19 factum est autem tempus cum deberet dari Merob filia Saul David data est Hadrihel Molathitae uxor
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.
20 dilexit autem Michol filia Saul altera David et nuntiatum est Saul et placuit ei
Mikal, Saul's daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
21 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
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."
22 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
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.'"
23 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
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?"
24 et renuntiaverunt servi Saul dicentes huiuscemodi verba locutus est David
The servants of Saul told him, saying, "David spoke like this."
25 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
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.
26 cumque renuntiassent servi eius David verba quae diximus placuit sermo in oculis David ut fieret gener regis
When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. The days were not expired;
27 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
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.
28 et vidit Saul et intellexit quia Dominus esset cum David Michol autem filia Saul diligebat eum
When Saul saw and knew that Jehovah was with David, and that all Israel loved him,
29 et Saul magis coepit timere David factusque est Saul inimicus David cunctis diebus
then he was even more afraid of David. So Saul was David's enemy continually.
30 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
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.
