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.
When he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
2 E Saul naquele dia o tomou, e não lhe permitiu que tornasse para casa de seu pai.
Saul took David into his service that day; he did not let him return to his father's house.
3 E Jonathan e David fizeram aliança: porque Jonathan o amava como à sua própria alma.
Then Jonathan and David made a covenant of friendship because Jonathan loved him as 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.
Jonathan took off the robe that he was wearing and gave it to David with his armor, as well as his sword, bow, and 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.
David went out wherever Saul sent him, and he succeeded. Saul set him over the men of war. This was pleasing in the eyes of all the people and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
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.
As they came home from defeating the Philistines, the women came from all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with musical instruments.
7 E as mulheres tangendo, se respondiam umas às outras, e diziam: Saul feriu os seus milhares, porém David os seus dez milhares.
The women sang one to another as they played. They sang: “Saul has killed his thousands, and David his ten thousands.”
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?
Saul was very angry, and this song displeased him. He said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, but they have ascribed only thousands to me. What more can he have but the monarchy?”
9 E, desde aquele dia em diante, Saul tinha David em suspeita.
Saul looked at David with suspicion from that day on.
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.
The next day a harmful spirit from God rushed upon Saul and he raved within the house. So David played his instrument, as he did each day. Saul had a spear in his hand.
11 E Saul atirou com a lança, dizendo: Encravarei a David na parede. Porém David se desviou dele por duas vezes.
Saul threw the spear, for he thought, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David escaped from Saul's presence twice in this way.
12 E temia Saul a David, porque o Senhor era com ele e se tinha retirado de Saul.
Saul was afraid of David, because Yahweh was with him, but was no longer with Saul.
13 Pelo que Saul o desviou de si, e o pôs por chefe de mil: e saía e entrava diante do povo.
So Saul removed him from his presence and appointed him a commander of a thousand. In this way David went out and came in before the people.
14 E David se conduzia com prudência em todos os seus caminhos, e o Senhor era com ele.
David was prospering in all his ways, for Yahweh was with him.
15 Vendo então Saul que tão prudentemente se conduzia, tinha receio dele.
When Saul saw that he prospered, he stood in awe of him.
16 Porém todo o Israel e Judá amava a David, porquanto saía e entrava diante deles.
But all Israel and Judah loved David, for he went out and came in 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).
Then Saul said to David, “Here is my oldest daughter Merab. I will give her to you as a wife. Only be courageous for me and fight Yahweh's battles.” For Saul thought, “Let not my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on 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?
David said to Saul, “Who am I, and who are my relatives, or my father's clan in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to 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.
But at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as a wife.
20 Mas Michal, a outra filha de Saul amava a David: o que, sendo anunciado a Saul, pareceu isto bom aos seus olhos.
But Michal, Saul's daughter, loved David. They told Saul, and this 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.
Then Saul thought, “I will give her to him, so that she can be a trap for him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David a second time, “You will be my son-in-law.”
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.
Saul commanded his servants, “Speak with David in private, and say, 'See, the king takes pleasure in you, and all his servants love you. Now then, become the king's son-in-law.'”
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?
So Saul's servants spoke these words to David. Then David said, “Is it a small matter to you to be the king's son-in-law, since I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?”
24 E os servos de Saul lhe anunciaram isto, dizendo: Foram tais as palavras que falou David.
The servants of Saul reported to him the words which David spoke.
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, “Say this to David, 'The king does not desire any price for the bride except a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged from the king's enemies.'” Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand 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.
When his servants told David these words, it pleased David to be the king's son-in-law.
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.
Before those days had expired, David went with his men and killed two hundred Philistines. David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, so that he might be the king's son-in-law. So Saul gave him Michal his daughter as his wife.
28 E viu Saul, e notou que o Senhor era com David: e Michal, filha de Saul, o amava.
When Saul saw, and he knew that Yahweh was with David, and that Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him,
29 Então Saul temeu muito mais a David: e Saul foi todos os seus dias inimigo de David.
Saul was even more afraid of David. Saul was continually David's enemy.
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.
Then the princes of the Philistines came out for battle, and as often as they came out, David succeeded more than all the servants of Saul, so that his name was highly regarded.
