1 Samuel 18
1 Quando ele terminou de falar com Saul, a alma de Jonathan foi tricotada com a alma de David, e Jonathan o amava como se fosse sua própria alma.
When he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
2 Saul o levou naquele dia, e não o deixou mais voltar para casa de seu pai.
Saul took him that day, and would not let him go home to his father’s house any more.
3 Então Jonathan e David fizeram um pacto, porque o amavam como se fosse sua própria alma.
Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
4 Jonathan se despiu do manto que estava sobre ele e o deu a David com suas roupas, incluindo até mesmo sua espada, seu arco e sua faixa.
Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David with his clothing, even including his sword, his bow, and his sash.
5 David saiu para onde Saul o enviou, e se comportou sabiamente; e Saul o colocou sobre os homens de guerra. Foi bom aos olhos de todo o povo, e também aos olhos dos servos de Saul.
David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely; and Saul set him over the men of war. It was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.
6 Quando chegaram, quando Davi voltou da matança do filisteu, as mulheres saíram de todas as cidades de Israel, cantando e dançando, para encontrar o rei Saul com pandeiros, com alegria e com instrumentos de música.
As they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music.
7 As mulheres cantaram umas para as outras enquanto tocavam, e disseram, “Saul matou seus milhares, e David seus dez mil”.
The women sang to one another as they played, and said, “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.”
8 Saul estava muito irritado, e este ditado o desagradou. Ele disse: “Eles creditaram a David dez mil, e só me creditaram a mim milhares. O que ele pode ter mais a não ser o reino”?
Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him. He said, “They have credited David with ten thousands, and they have only credited me with thousands. What can he have more but the kingdom?”
9 Saul observou Davi daquele dia em diante.
Saul watched David from that day and forward.
10 No dia seguinte, um espírito maligno de Deus veio poderosamente sobre Saul, e ele profetizou no meio da casa. David brincou com sua mão, como fazia dia após dia. Saul tinha sua lança na mão;
On the next day, an evil spirit from God came mightily on Saul, and he prophesied in the middle of the house. David played with his hand, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand;
11 e Saul atirou a lança, pois disse: “Vou prender Davi à parede”. Davi escapou de sua presença duas vezes.
and Saul threw the spear, for he said, “I will pin David to the wall!” David escaped from his presence twice.
12 Saul tinha medo de Davi, porque Iavé estava com ele, e havia se afastado de Saul.
Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and had departed from Saul.
13 Therefore Saul o retirou de sua presença, e o fez seu capitão mais de mil; e ele saiu e entrou diante do povo.
Therefore Saul removed him from his presence, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
14 David comportou-se sabiamente em todos os seus modos; e Yahweh estava com ele.
David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.
15 Quando Saul viu que ele se comportava muito sabiamente, ele ficou admirado com ele.
When Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.
16 Mas todo Israel e Judá amavam Davi; pois ele saía e entrava diante deles.
But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
17 Saul disse a Davi: “Eis minha filha mais velha, Merab. Eu a darei a você como esposa. Sede valentes somente para mim, e travai as batalhas de Iavé”. Pois Saul disse: “Não deixe que minha mão esteja sobre ele, mas que a mão dos filisteus esteja sobre ele”.
Saul said to David, “Behold, my elder daughter Merab. I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight the LORD’s battles.” For Saul said, “Do not let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.”
18 David disse a Saul: “Quem sou eu, e o que é minha vida, ou a família de meu pai em Israel, que eu deveria ser genro do rei”?
David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?”
19 Mas na época em que Merab, filha de Saul, deveria ter sido dada a David, ela foi dada a Adriel, o Meholathite, como esposa.
But at the time when Merab, Saul’s daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.
20 Michal, a filha de Saul, amava David; e eles disseram a Saul, e a coisa o agradou.
Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
21 Saul disse, eu a darei a ele, que ela pode ser uma armadilha para ele e que a mão dos filisteus pode estar contra ele. Por isso, Saul disse a Davi uma segunda vez: “Tu serás hoje meu genro”.
Saul said, I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Therefore Saul said to David a second time, “You shall today be my son-in-law.”
22 Saul ordenou a seus servos: “Falai em segredo com Davi e dizei: 'Eis que o rei tem prazer em vós, e todos os seus servos vos amam'. Agora, portanto, sede genro do rei”.
Saul commanded his servants, “Talk with David secretly, and say, ‘Behold, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore be the king’s son-in-law.’”
23 Os criados de Saul pronunciaram essas palavras aos ouvidos de David. David disse: “Parece-lhe uma coisa leve ser genro do rei, já que sou um homem pobre e pouco conhecido”?
Saul’s servants spoke those words in the ears of David. David said, “Does it seem to you a light thing to be the king’s son-in-law, since I am a poor man and little known?”
24 Os criados de Saul disseram a ele, dizendo: “David falou assim”.
The servants of Saul told him, saying, “David spoke like this.”
25 Saul disse: “Diga a David: 'O rei não deseja nenhum dote, exceto cem prepúcios dos filisteus, para se vingar dos inimigos do rei'”. Agora Saul pensava que faria Davi cair pela mão dos filisteus.
Saul said, “Tell David, ‘The king desires no dowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies.’” Now Saul thought he would make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
26 Quando seus servos disseram a Davi estas palavras, agradou bem a Davi ser genro do rei. Antes do prazo,
When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son-in-law. Before the deadline,
27 David levantou-se e foi, ele e seus homens, e matou duzentos homens dos filisteus. Então Davi trouxe seus prepúcios, e eles os deram em número total ao rei, para que ele pudesse ser genro do rei. Então Saul deu a ele Michal sua filha como esposa.
David arose and went, he and his men, and killed two hundred men of the Philistines. Then David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Michal his daughter as wife.
28 Saul viu e sabia que Yahweh estava com David; e Michal, filha de Saul, o amava.
Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David; and Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved him.
29 Saul tinha ainda mais medo de Davi; e Saul era o inimigo de Davi continuamente.
Saul was even more afraid of David; and Saul was David’s enemy continually.
30 Então os príncipes dos filisteus saíram; e, tantas vezes quanto eles saíam, Davi se comportava mais sabiamente do que todos os servos de Saul, de modo que seu nome era muito estimado.
Then the princes of the Philistines went out; and as often as they went out, David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul, so that his name was highly esteemed.
