1 Samuel 18
1 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.
And it happened that, when he had completed speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan adhered to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him like his own soul.
2 E Saul naquele dia o tomou, e não lhe permitiu que tornasse para casa de seu pai.
And Saul took him that day, and would not permit him to return to his father’s house.
3 E Jonathan e David fizeram aliança: porque Jonathan o amava como à sua própria alma.
Then David and Jonathan formed a pact. For he loved him like his own soul.
4 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.
And Jonathan took off the coat that he was wearing, and he gave it to David, with the rest of his garments, even to his sword and bow, and even his belt.
5 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.
Also, David went out to do everything whatsoever that Saul sent him to do, and he conducted himself prudently. And Saul set him over men of war. And he was acceptable in the eyes of the entire people, and most of all in the sight of the servants of Saul.
6 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.
Now when David returned, after he had struck down the Philistine, the women went out, from all the cities of Israel, leading the singing and dancing, rejoicing with timbrels and bells, so as to meet king Saul.
7 E as mulheres tangendo, se respondiam umas às outras, e diziam: Saul feriu os seus milhares, porém David os seus dez milhares.
And the women sang, as they played, saying, “Saul has struck down a thousand, and David ten thousand.”
8 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?
Then Saul became exceedingly angry, and this word was displeasing in his eyes. And he said: “They have given David ten thousand, and to me they gave only one thousand. What is left for him, except the kingdom itself?”
9 E, desde aquele dia em diante, Saul tinha David em suspeita.
Therefore, Saul did not regard David with a good eye, from that day and thereafter.
10 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.
Then, on the next day, the evil spirit from God assailed Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David played with his hand, just as at every other time. And Saul held a lance in his hand.
11 E Saul atirou com a lança, dizendo: Encravarei a David na parede. Porém David se desviou dele por duas vezes.
And he threw it, thinking that he would be able to fix David to the wall. And David stepped aside twice, from before his face.
12 E temia Saul a David, porque o Senhor era com ele e se tinha retirado de Saul.
And Saul feared David, because the Lord was with him, but he had withdrawn from Saul.
13 Pelo que Saul o desviou de si, e o pôs por chefe de mil: e saía e entrava diante do povo.
Therefore, Saul sent him away from himself, and he made him tribune over one thousand men. And he entered and departed in the sight of the people.
14 E David se conduzia com prudência em todos os seus caminhos, e o Senhor era com ele.
Also, David acted prudently in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.
15 Vendo então Saul que tão prudentemente se conduzia, tinha receio dele.
And so, Saul saw that he was exceedingly prudent, and he began to be wary of him.
16 Porém todo o Israel e Judá amava a David, porquanto saía e entrava diante deles.
But all of Israel and Judah loved David. For he entered and departed before them.
17 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).
And Saul said to David: “Behold, my elder daughter, Merab. I will give her to you as wife. Only be a valiant man, and fight the wars of the Lord.” Now Saul was considering within himself, saying, “Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hands of the Philistines be upon him.”
18 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?
Then David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my life, and what is my father’s kinship within Israel, that I should be the son-in-law of the king?”
19 Sucedeu, porém, que ao tempo que Merab, filha de Saul, devia ser dada a David, ela foi dada por mulher a Adriel, meholathita.
Then it happened that, at the time when Merab, the daughter of Saul, was to be given to David, she was given to Adriel, the Meholathite, as wife.
20 Mas Michal, a outra filha de Saul amava a David: o que, sendo anunciado a Saul, pareceu isto bom aos seus olhos.
Now Michal, the other daughter of Saul, loved David. And this was reported to Saul, and it pleased him.
21 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.
And Saul said, “I will give her to him, so that she may be a stumbling block to him, and so that the hand of the Philistines may be upon him.” And Saul said to David, “In two things, you shall be my son-in-law today.”
22 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.
And Saul commanded his servants to speak to David privately, saying: “Behold, you are pleasing to the king, and all his servants love you. Now therefore, be the son-in-law of the king.”
23 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?
And the servants of Saul spoke all these words to the ears of David. And David said: “Does it seem a small matter to you, to be the son-in-law of the king? I am but a poor and unimportant man.”
24 E os servos de Saul lhe anunciaram isto, dizendo: Foram tais as palavras que falou David.
And the servants reported to Saul, saying, “David has spoken words in this manner.”
25 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.
Then Saul said, “Speak in this way to David: The king does not have need of any dowry, but only one hundred foreskins from the Philistine men, so that he may be vindicated from the enemies of the king.” So did Saul think to deliver David into the hands of the Philistines.
26 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.
And when his servants had repeated to David the words that Saul had spoken, the word was pleasing in the eyes of David, so that he would become son-in-law of the king.
27 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.
And after a few days, David, rising up, went with the men who were under him, and he struck down two hundred men of the Philistines. And he brought their foreskins, and he counted them out for the king, so that he might be his son-in-law. And so, Saul gave to him his daughter Michal as wife.
28 E viu Saul, e notou que o Senhor era com David: e Michal, filha de Saul, o amava.
And Saul saw and understood that the Lord was with David. And Michal, the daughter of Saul, loved him.
29 Então Saul temeu muito mais a David: e Saul foi todos os seus dias inimigo de David.
And Saul began to fear David all the more. And Saul became the enemy of David, every day.
30 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.
And the leaders of the Philistines departed. And from the beginning of their departure, David conducted himself more prudently than all the servants of Saul, and his name became exceedingly celebrated.
