1 Samuel 19
1 E falou Saul a Jonathan, seu filho, e a todos os seus servos, para que matassem a David. Porém Jonathan, filho de Saul, estava mui afeiçoado a David.
Now Saul spoke to his son Jonathan, and to all his servants, so that they would kill David. But Jonathan, the son of Saul, loved David very much.
2 E Jonathan o anunciou a David, dizendo: Meu pai, Saul, procura matar-te, pelo que agora guarda-te pela manhã, e fica-te em oculto, e esconde-te.
And Jonathan revealed it to David, saying: “Saul, my father, is seeking to kill you. Because of this, I ask you, take care for yourself in the morning. And you should conceal yourself and remain in hiding.
3 E sairei eu, e estarei à mão de meu pai no campo em que estiveres, e eu falarei de ti a meu pai, e verei o que houver, e to anunciarei.
Then I, going out, will be standing beside my father in the field, where you will be. And I will speak about you to my father. And whatever I see, I will report to you.”
4 Então Jonathan falou bem de David a Saul, seu pai, e disse-lhe: Não peque o rei contra seu servo David, porque ele não pecou contra ti, e porque os seus feitos te são mui bons.
Then Jonathan spoke good things about David to his father Saul. And he said to him: “You should not sin, O king, against your servant David. For he has not sinned against you, and his works toward you are very good.
5 Porque pôs a sua alma na mão, e feriu aos philisteus, e fez o Senhor um grande livramento a todo o Israel; tu mesmo o viste, e te alegraste: porque, pois, pecarias contra o sangue inocente, matando a David sem causa?
And he took his life in his own hand, and struck down the Philistine. And the Lord wrought a great salvation for all of Israel. You saw it, and you rejoiced. Why then would you sin against innocent blood by killing David, who is without guilt?”
6 E Saul deu ouvidos à voz de Jonathan, e jurou Saul: Vive o Senhor, que não morrerá.
And when Saul had heard this, being pleased by the voice of Jonathan, he swore, “As the Lord lives, he shall not be killed.”
7 E Jonathan chamou a David, e contou-lhe todas estas palavras: e Jonathan levou David a Saul, e esteve perante ele como de antes.
And so Jonathan called David, and he revealed to him all of these words. And Jonathan led in David to Saul, and he was before him, just as he had been yesterday and the day before.
8 E tornou a haver guerra: e saiu David, e pelejou contra os philisteus, e feriu-os de grande ferida, e fugiram diante dele.
Then the war was stirred up again. And David went out and fought against the Philistines. And he struck them down with a great slaughter. And they fled from his face.
9 Porém o espírito mau da parte do Senhor se tornou sobre Saul, estando ele assentado em sua casa, e tendo na mão a sua lança, e tangendo David com a mão o instrumento de música.
And the evil spirit from the Lord came to Saul, who was sitting in his house and holding a lance. And David was playing music with his hand.
10 E procurava Saul encravar a David com a parede, porém ele se desviou de diante de Saul, o qual feriu com a lança na parede: então fugiu David, e escapou naquela mesma noite.
And Saul attempted to fix David to the wall with the lance. But David turned aside from the face of Saul. And the lance failed to wound him, and it became fixed in the wall. And David fled, and so he was saved that night.
11 Porém Saul mandou mensageiros à 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, amanhã te matarão.
Therefore, Saul sent his guards to David’s house, so that they might watch for him, and so that he might be killed in the morning. And after Michal, his wife, had reported this to David, saying, “Unless you save yourself this night, tomorrow you will die,”
12 Então Michal desceu a David por uma janela: e ele se foi, e fugiu, e escapou.
she lowered him down through a window. Then he fled and went away, and he was saved.
13 E Michal tomou uma estátua e a deitou na cama, e pôs-lhe à cabeceira uma pele de cabra, e a cobriu com uma coberta.
Then Michal took a statue, and placed it on the bed. And she placed the pelt of a goat for the hair at its head. And she covered it with clothes.
14 E, mandando Saul mensageiros que trouxessem a David, ela disse: Está doente.
And Saul sent attendants to seize David. And it was answered that he was sick.
15 Então Saul mandou mensageiros que viessem a David, dizendo: trazei-mo na cama, para que o mate.
And again, Saul sent messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him to me on the bed, so that he may be killed.”
16 Vindo pois os mensageiros, eis aqui a estátua na cama, e a pele de cabra à sua cabeceira.
And when the messengers had arrived, they found a likeness on the bed, with a goat pelt at 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 ele me disse: Deixa-me ir, porque hei de eu matar-te?
And Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me in this way, and released my enemy, so that he may flee?” And Michal responded to Saul, “Because he said to me, ‘Release me, otherwise I will kill you.’”
18 Assim David fugiu e escapou, e veio a Samuel, a Rama, e lhe participou tudo quanto Saul lhe fizera: e foram, ele e Samuel, e ficaram em Naioth.
Now David was saved by fleeing, and he went to Samuel in Ramah. And he reported to him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went away and stayed at Naioth.
19 E o anunciaram a Saul, dizendo: Eis que David está em Naioth, em Rama.
Then it was reported to Saul by some, saying, “Behold, David is at Naioth, in Ramah.”
20 Então enviou Saul mensageiros para trazerem a David, os quais viram uma congregação de profetas profetizando, onde estava Samuel que presidia sobre eles: e o espírito de Deus veio sobre os mensageiros de Saul, e também eles profetizaram.
Therefore, Saul sent officers to seize David. And when they had seen a company of prophets prophesying, with Samuel presiding over them, the Spirit of the Lord also came to them, and they also began to prophesy.
21 E, avisado disto Saul, enviou outros mensageiros, e também estes profetizaram: então enviou Saul ainda uns terceiros mensageiros, os quais também profetizaram.
And when this was reported to Saul, he sent other messengers. But they also prophesied. And again, Saul sent messengers a third time. And they also prophesied. And Saul, being exceedingly angry,
22 Então foi também ele 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.
also went to Ramah himself. And he went as far as the great cistern, which is in Socoh. And he inquired and said, “In which place are Samuel and David?” And it was told to him, “Behold, they are at Naioth, in Ramah.”
23 Então foi-se lá para Naioth, em Rama: e o mesmo espírito de Deus veio sobre ele, e ia profetizando, até chegar a Naioth, em Rama.
And he went to Naioth, in Ramah, and the Spirit of the Lord came to him also. And he continued on, walking and prophesying, until he arrived at Naioth, in Ramah.
24 E ele também despiu os seus vestidos, e ele também profetizou diante de Samuel, e esteve nu por terra todo aquele dia e toda aquela noite; pelo que se diz: Está também Saul entre os profetas?
And he also took off his garments, and he prophesied with the others before Samuel. And he fell down naked, throughout that day and night. From this, too, is derived the proverb, “Could Saul also be among the prophets?”
