1 Samuel 19
1 E fallou Saul a Jonathan, seu filho, e a todos os seus servos, para que matassem a David. Porém Jonathan, filho de Saul, estava mui affeiçoado a David.
Then Saul urged all his servants and his son Jonathan to kill David. But Jonathan liked David very much.
2 E Jonathan o annunciou a David, dizendo: Meu pae, Saul, procura matar-te, pelo que agora guarda-te pela manhã, e fica-te em occulto, e esconde-te.
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].
3 E sairei eu, e estarei á mão de meu pae no campo em que estiveres, e eu fallarei de ti a meu pae, e verei o que houver, e t'o annunciarei.
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].
4 Então Jonathan fallou bem de David a Saul, seu pae, e disse-lhe: Não peque o rei contra seu servo David, porque elle não peccou contra ti, e porque os seus feitos te são mui bons.
[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.
5 Porque poz a sua alma na mão, e feriu aos philisteos, e fez o Senhor um grande livramento a todo o Israel; tu mesmo o viste, e te alegraste: porque, pois, peccarias contra o sangue innocente, matando a David sem causa?
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!”
6 E Saul deu ouvidos á voz de Jonathan, e jurou Saul: Vive o Senhor, que não morrerá.
Saul listened to what Jonathan said. Then Saul said, “I solemnly promise that just as certain as Yahweh lives, I will not kill David.”
7 E Jonathan chamou a David, e contou-lhe todas estas palavras: e Jonathan levou David a Saul, e esteve perante elle como d'antes.
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.
8 E tornou a haver guerra: e saiu David, e pelejou contra os philisteos, e feriu-os de grande ferida, e fugiram diante d'elle.
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.
9 Porém o espirito mau da parte do Senhor se tornou sobre Saul, estando elle assentado em sua casa, e tendo na mão a sua lança, e tangendo David com a mão o instrumento de musica.
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],
10 E procurava Saul encravar a David com a parede, porém elle se desviou de diante de Saul, o qual feriu com a lança na parede: então fugiu David, e escapou n'aquella mesma noite.
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.
11 Porém Saul mandou mensageiros á casa de David, que o guardassem, e o matassem pela manhã: do que Michal, sua mulher, avisou a David, dizendo: Se não salvares a tua vida esta noite, ámanhã te matarão.
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!”
12 Então Michal desceu a David por uma janella: e elle se foi, e fugiu, e escapou.
So she enabled David to climb out through a window, and he ran away and escaped.
13 E Michal tomou uma estatua e a deitou na cama, e poz-lhe á cabeceira uma pelle de cabra, e a cobriu com uma coberta.
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.
14 E, mandando Saul mensageiros que trouxessem a David, ella disse: Está doente.
When the messengers came [to the house the next morning], she told them that David was sick [and could not get out of bed].
15 Então Saul mandou mensageiros que viessem a David, dizendo: Trazei-m'o na cama, para que o mate.
[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!”
16 Vindo pois os mensageiros, eis aqui a estatua na cama, e a pelle de cabra á sua cabeceira.
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.
17 Então disse Saul a Michal: Porque assim me enganaste, e deixaste ir e escapar o meu inimigo? E disse Michal a Saul: Porque elle me disse: Deixa-me ir, porque hei de eu matar-te?
[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]
18 Assim David fugiu e escapou, e veiu a Samuel, a Rama, e lhe participou tudo quanto Saul lhe fizera: e foram, elle e Samuel, e ficaram em Naioth.
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.
19 E o annunciaram a Saul, dizendo: Eis que David está em Naioth, em Rama.
Someone told Saul that David was in Naioth.
20 Então enviou Saul mensageiros para trazerem a David, os quaes viram uma congregação de prophetas prophetizando, onde estava Samuel que presidia sobre elles: e o espirito de Deus veiu sobre os mensageiros de Saul, e tambem elles prophetizaram.
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.
21 E, avisado d'isto Saul, enviou outros mensageiros, e tambem estes prophetizaram: então enviou Saul ainda uns terceiros mensageiros, os quaes tambem prophetizaram.
When Saul heard about that, he sent messengers a third time, but they also started to speak ecstatically.
22 Então foi tambem elle mesmo a Rama, e chegou ao poço grande que estava em Secu; e, perguntando, disse: Onde estão Samuel e David? E disseram-lhe: Eis que estão em Naioth, em Rama.
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].”
23 Então foi-se lá para Naioth, em Rama: e o mesmo espirito de Deus veiu sobre elle, e ia prophetizando, até chegar a Naioth, em Rama.
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.
24 E elle tambem despiu os seus vestidos, e elle tambem prophetizou diante de Samuel, e esteve nú por terra todo aquelle dia e toda aquella noite; pelo que se diz: Está tambem Saul entre os prophetas?
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]
