1 Samuel 19
1 Saul falou com Jonathan, seu filho, e com todos os seus servos, para que matassem David. Mas Jônatas, filho de Saul, ficou muito contente com Davi.
Then Saul urged all his servants and his son Jonathan to kill David. But Jonathan liked David very much.
2 Jonathan disse a David, dizendo: “Saul, meu pai, procura matar você. Agora, portanto, por favor, cuide de si mesmo pela manhã, viva em um lugar secreto, e esconda-se.
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 Vou sair e ficar ao lado de meu pai no campo onde você está, e falarei com meu pai sobre você; e se eu vir alguma coisa, eu lhe direi”.
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 Jonathan falou bem de Davi a Saul, seu pai, e lhe disse: “Não deixe o rei pecar contra seu servo, contra Davi; porque ele não pecou contra você, e porque suas obras têm sido muito boas para você;
[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 pois ele colocou sua vida na mão e golpeou o filisteu, e Javé trabalhou uma grande vitória para todo Israel. Vós o vistes e vos regozijastes. Por que então pecareis contra o sangue inocente, para matar David sem uma 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 Saul ouviu a voz de Jonathan; e Saul jurou: “Como Yahweh vive, ele não será morto”.
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 Jonathan ligou para David, e Jonathan lhe mostrou todas essas coisas. Então Jonathan trouxe Davi a Saul, e ele estava em sua presença 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 Houve novamente uma guerra. David saiu e lutou com os filisteus, e os matou com uma grande matança; e eles 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 Um espírito maligno de Javé estava sobre Saul quando ele estava sentado em sua casa com sua lança na mão; e David estava tocando música 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 Saul tentou prender Davi à parede com a lança, mas ele escapou da presença de Saul; e ele enfiou a lança na parede. Davi fugiu e escapou naquela 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 mensageiros à casa de Davi para vigiá-lo e matá-lo pela manhã. Michal, esposa de David, disse-lhe, dizendo: “Se você não salvar sua vida esta noite, amanhã você será 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 Então Michal decepcionou David através da janela. Ele foi embora, fugiu, e escapou.
So she enabled David to climb out through a window, and he ran away and escaped.
13 Michal pegou o terapeuta e o colocou na cama, colocou uma almofada de cabelo de cabra em sua cabeça e o cobriu com roupas.
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 Quando Saul enviou mensageiros para levar David, ela disse: “Ele está doente”.
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 Saul enviou os mensageiros para ver David, dizendo: “Tragam-no até mim na cama, para que eu possa matá-lo”.
[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 Quando os mensageiros entraram, eis que o terapeuta estava na cama, com o travesseiro de cabelo de cabra na cabeça.
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 Saul disse a Michal: “Por que você me enganou desta maneira e deixou meu inimigo ir, para que ele escapasse”? Michal respondeu a Saul: “Ele me disse: 'Deixe-me ir! Por que eu deveria matá-lo”?”
[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 Agora David fugiu e escapou, e foi ter com Samuel em Ramah, e contou-lhe tudo o que Saul lhe havia feito. Ele e Samuel foram e viveram em Naioth.
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 Saul foi informado, dizendo: “Eis que Davi está em Naioth, em Ramah”.
Someone told Saul that David was in Naioth.
20 Saul enviou mensageiros para apreender Davi; e quando viram a companhia dos profetas profetizando, e Samuel em pé como cabeça sobre eles, o Espírito de Deus veio 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 Quando Saul foi informado, ele enviou outros mensageiros, e eles também profetizaram. Saul enviou mensageiros novamente pela terceira vez, 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 também foi a Ramah, e veio ao grande poço que está em Secu: e perguntou: “Onde estão Samuel e David? Um disse: “Eis que eles estão em Naioth em Ramah”.
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 Ele foi lá para Naioth em Ramah. Então o Espírito de Deus veio sobre ele também, e ele continuou, e profetizou, até chegar a Naioth, em Ramah.
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 Ele também despiu suas roupas. Também profetizou diante de Samuel e deitou-se nu todo aquele dia e toda aquela noite. Portanto, eles dizem: “Saul também está 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]
