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.
[And it came to pass when he had finished speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David and David loved him ] [as his own soul. ]
2 Saul o levou naquele dia, e não o deixou mais voltar para casa de seu pai.
[And Saul took him in that day, and did not suffer him to return to his father's house. ]
3 Então Jonathan e David fizeram um pacto, porque o amavam como se fosse sua própria alma.
[And 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.
[And Jonathan stripped himself of his ] [upper garment, and gave it to David, and his mantle and all he had upon him, even to his sword and to his bow, and to his girdle. ]
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.
[And David went out withersoever Saul sent him, and ] [acted wisely, and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was pleasing in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul. ]
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.
And there came out women in dances to meet David out of all the cities of Israel, with timbrels, and with rejoicing, and with cymbals.
7 As mulheres cantaram umas para as outras enquanto tocavam, e disseram, “Saul matou seus milhares, e David seus dez mil”.
And the women began [the strain], and said, Saul has struck 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”?
And it seemed evil in the eyes of Saul concerning this matter, and he said, To David they have given ten thousands, and to me they have given thousands. [And what more can he have but the kingdom? ]
9 Saul observou Davi daquele dia em diante.
[And Saul eyed David from that day and onward. ]
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;
[And it came to pass on the morrow that an evil spirit from God fell upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David was playing on the harp with his hand, according to his daily custom. And Saul’s spear was 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 took his spear and said, I will strike David even to the wall. But David escaped twice from his presence. ]
12 Saul tinha medo de Davi, porque Iavé estava com ele, e havia se afastado de Saul.
And Saul was alarmed on account of David.
13 Therefore Saul o retirou de sua presença, e o fez seu capitão mais de mil; e ele saiu e entrou diante do povo.
And he removed him from him, and made him a captain of a thousand for himself; 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.
And David was prudent 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.
And Saul saw that he was very wise, and he was afraid of him.
16 Mas todo Israel e Judá amavam Davi; pois ele saía e entrava diante deles.
And all Israel and Juda loved David, because he came in and went out before the people.
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”.
[And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merob, I will give her to you to Wife, only be you to me a mighty man and fight the wars of the Lord. And Saul said, Let not my hand be upon him, but the hand of the Philistines shall be upon 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”?
[And David said to Saul, Who am I, and What is the life of my father’s family in Israel, that I should be the king’s son—in-law? ]
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 it came to pass at the time when Merob Saul’s daughter should have been given to David, that she was given to Israel the Mothulathite to wife. ]
20 Michal, a filha de Saul, amava David; e eles disseram a Saul, e a coisa o agradou.
And Melchol the daughter of Saul loved David; and it was told Saul, and the thing was pleasing in his eyes.
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”.
And Saul said, I will give her to him, and she shall be a stumbling block to him. Now the hand of the Philistines was against Saul.
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”.
And Saul charged his servants, saying, Speak you privately to David, saying, Behold, the king delights in you, and all his servants love you, and do you becomes 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”?
And the servants of Saul spoke these words in the ears of David; and David said, [Is it] a light thing in your eyes to become son-in-law to the king? Whereas I [am] an humble man, an not honorable?
24 Os criados de Saul disseram a ele, dizendo: “David falou assim”.
And the servants of Saul reported to him according to these words, which David spoke.
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.
And Saul said, Thus shall you speak to David, The king wants no gift but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to avenge himself on the kings enemies. Now Saul thought to cast him into the hands of the Philistines.
26 Quando seus servos disseram a Davi estas palavras, agradou bem a Davi ser genro do rei. Antes do prazo,
And the servants of Saul report these words to David, and David was well pleased to become the son-in-law to the king.
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.
And David arose, and went, he and his men, and struck among the Philistines a hundred men: and he brought their foreskins, and he becomes the king's son-in-law, and [Saul] gives him Melchol his daughter to wife.
28 Saul viu e sabia que Yahweh estava com David; e Michal, filha de Saul, o amava.
And Saul saw that the Lord [was] with David, and [that] all Israel loved him.
29 Saul tinha ainda mais medo de Davi; e Saul era o inimigo de Davi continuamente.
And he was yet more afraid of David.
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.
[And the chief of the Philistines went forth; and it came to pass that from the suficiency of their expedition David acted Wisely above all the servants of Saul; and his name was honored exceedingly. ]
