1 Samuel 19
1 E falou Saul a Jônatas seu filho, e a todos os seus criados, para que matassem a Davi; mas Jônatas filho de Saul amava a Davi em grande maneira.
Then Saul urged all his servants and his son Jonathan to kill David. But Jonathan liked David very much.
2 E deu aviso a Davi, dizendo: Saul meu pai procura matar-te; portanto olha agora por ti até a manhã, e fica-te em lugar oculto, 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 eu sairei e estarei junto a meu pai no campo de onde estiveres: e falarei de ti a meu pai, e te farei saber o que notar.
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 E Jônatas falou bem de Davi a Saul seu pai, e disse-lhe: Não peque o rei contra seu servo Davi, pois que nenhuma coisa cometeu contra ti: antes suas obras te foram muito boas;
[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 ele pôs sua alma em sua palma, e feriu ao filisteu, e o SENHOR fez uma grande salvação a todo Israel. Tu o viste, e te alegraste: por que, pois, pecarás contra o sangue inocente, matando a Davi 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 ouvindo Saul a voz de Jônatas, jurou: 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 Chamando então Jônatas a Davi, declarou-lhe todas estas palavras; e ele mesmo apresentou Davi a Saul, e esteve diante dele como 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 voltou a fazer-se guerra: e saiu Davi e lutou contra os filisteus, e feriu-os com grande estrago, e fugiram diante dele.
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 E o espírito mau da parte do SENHOR foi sobre Saul: e estando sentado em sua casa tinha uma lança à mão, enquanto Davi estava tocando harpa com sua mão.
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 Saul procurou encravar a Davi com a lança na parede; mas ele se afastou de diante de Saul, o qual feriu com a lança na parede; e Davi fugiu, e escapou-se aquela 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 Saul enviou logo mensageiros à casa de Davi para que o guardassem, e o matassem à manhã. Mas Mical sua mulher o revelou a Davi, dizendo: Se não salvares tua vida esta noite, amanhã serás morto.
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 E baixou Mical a Davi por uma janela; e ele se foi, e fugiu, e escapou-se.
So she enabled David to climb out through a window, and he ran away and escaped.
13 Tomou logo Mical uma estátua, e a pôs sobre a cama, e acomodou-lhe por cabeceira uma almofada de pelos de cabra, e cobriu-a com uma roupa.
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 quando Saul enviou mensageiros que tomassem a Davi, ela respondeu: Está enfermo.
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 E voltou Saul a enviar mensageiros para que vissem a Davi, dizendo: Trazei-o a mim 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 E quando os mensageiros entraram, eis que a estátua estava na cama, e uma almofada de pelos de cabra por 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 Saul disse a Mical: Por que me enganaste assim, e deixaste escapar a meu inimigo? E Mical respondeu a Saul: Porque ele me disse: Deixa-me ir; se não, eu te matarei.
[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 Fugiu, pois, Davi, e escapou-se, e veio a Samuel em Ramá, e disse-lhe tudo o que Saul havia feito com ele. E foram-se ele e Samuel, e moraram em Naiote.
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 foi dado aviso a Saul, dizendo: Eis que Davi está em Naiote em Ramá.
Someone told Saul that David was in Naioth.
20 E enviou Saul mensageiros que trouxessem a Davi, os quais viram uma companhia de profetas que profetizavam, e a Samuel que estava ali, e os presidia. E foi o espírito de Deus sobre os mensageiros de Saul, e eles também profetizaram.
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 feito que foi saber a Saul, ele enviou outros mensageiros, os quais também profetizaram. E Saul voltou a enviar pela terceira vez mensageiros, e eles também profetizaram.
When Saul heard about that, he sent messengers a third time, but they also started to speak ecstatically.
22 Então ele mesmo veio a Ramá; e chegando ao poço grande que está em Socó, perguntou dizendo: Onde estão Samuel e Davi? E foi-lhe respondido: Eis que estão em Naiote em Ramá.
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 E foi ali a Naiote em Ramá; e também veio sobre ele o espírito de Deus, e ia profetizando, até que chegou a Naiote em Ramá.
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 ele também se desnudou suas roupas, e profetizou igualmente diante de Samuel, e caiu nu todo aquele dia e toda aquela noite. De aqui se disse: Também Saul entre os profetas?
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]
