1 Samuel 18
1 Cuando terminó de hablar con Saúl, el alma de Jonatán se unió al alma de David, y Jonatán lo amó como a su propia alma.
And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
2 Ese día Saúl lo apresó y no lo dejó volver a la casa de su padre.
And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.
3 Entonces Jonatán y David hicieron un pacto, porque él lo amaba como a su propia alma.
Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul.
4 Jonatán se despojó de la túnica que llevaba puesta y se la dio a David con sus ropas, incluyendo su espada, su arco y su faja.
And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his apparel, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
5 David salía a dondequiera que Saúl lo enviaba, y se comportaba con sabiduría; y Saúl lo puso al frente de los hombres de guerra. Fue bueno a los ojos de todo el pueblo, y también a los ojos de los servidores de Saúl.
And David went out; whithersoever Saul sent him, he had good success; and Saul set him over the men of war; and it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
6 Cuando David regresó de la matanza del filisteo, las mujeres salieron de todas las ciudades de Israel, cantando y bailando, a recibir al rey Saúl con panderetas, con alegría y con instrumentos de música.
And it came to pass as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with timbrels, with joy, and with three-stringed instruments.
7 Las mujeres cantaban entre sí mientras tocaban, y decían “Saúl ha matado a sus miles, y David sus diez mil”.
And the women sang one to another in their play, and said: Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
8 Saúl se enojó mucho, y este dicho le desagradó. Dijo: “A David le han acreditado diez mil, y a mí sólo me han acreditado mil. ¿Qué más puede tener él sino el reino?”.
And Saul was very wroth, and this saying displeased him; and he said: 'They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands; and all he lacketh is the kingdom!'
9 Saúl vigiló a David desde ese día en adelante.
And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
10 Al día siguiente, un espíritu maligno de Dios se apoderó poderosamente de Saúl, y profetizó en medio de la casa. David jugaba con su mano, como lo hacía cada día. Saúl tenía su lanza en la mano;
And it came to pass on the morrow, that an evil spirit from God came mightily upon Saul, and he raved in the midst of the house; and David played with his hand, as he did day by day; and Saul had his spear in his hand.
11 y Saúl arrojó la lanza, pues dijo: “¡Clavaré a David contra la pared!” David escapó de su presencia dos veces.
And Saul cast the spear; for he said: 'I will smite David even to the wall.' And David stepped aside out of his presence twice.
12 Saúl tenía miedo de David, porque Yahvé estaba con él y se había alejado de Saúl.
And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul.
13 Por eso Saúl lo apartó de su presencia y lo puso como jefe de mil, y salió y entró delante del pueblo.
Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
14 David se comportó sabiamente en todos sus caminos, y el Señor estaba con él.
And David had great success in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.
15 Cuando Saúl vio que se comportaba con mucha sabiduría, le tuvo miedo.
And when Saul saw that he had great success, he stood in awe of him.
16 Pero todo Israel y Judá amaban a David, porque salía y entraba delante de ellos.
But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
17 Saúl dijo a David: “He aquí mi hija mayor Merab. Te la daré como esposa. Sólo sé valiente para mí y lucha en las batallas de Yahvé”. Porque Saúl dijo: “No dejes que mi mano esté sobre él, sino que la mano de los filisteos esté sobre él”.
And Saul said to David: 'Behold my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife; only be thou valiant for me, and fight the LORD'S battles.' For Saul said: 'Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.'
18 David dijo a Saúl: “¿Quién soy yo, y qué es mi vida, o la familia de mi padre en Israel, para que sea yerno del rey?”
And David said unto 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 Pero en el momento en que Merab, la hija de Saúl, debía ser entregada a David, fue dada como esposa a Adriel el meholatí.
But it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul's daughter should have been given to David, that she was given unto Adriel the Meholathite to wife.
20 Mical, hija de Saúl, amaba a David; se lo contaron a Saúl, y el asunto le agradó.
And Michal Saul's daughter loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
21 Saúl dijo: “Se la entregaré para que le sirva de lazo y para que la mano de los filisteos esté contra él”. Por eso Saúl dijo a David por segunda vez: “Hoy serás mi yerno”.
And Saul said: 'I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.' Wherefore Saul said to David: 'Thou shalt this day be my son-in-law through the one of the twain.'
22 Saúl ordenó a sus siervos: “Hablen con David en secreto y díganle: ‘He aquí que el rey se complace en ti, y todos sus siervos te aman. Ahora, pues, sé el yerno del rey’”.
And Saul commanded his servants: 'Speak with David secretly, and say: Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee; now therefore be the king's son-in-law.'
23 Los siervos de Saúl dijeron esas palabras a los oídos de David. David dijo: “¿Os parece poca cosa ser yerno del rey, ya que soy un hombre pobre y poco conocido?”.
And Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said: 'Seemeth it to you a light thing to be the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?'
24 Los sirvientes de Saúl le dijeron: “David habló así”.
And the servants of Saul told him, saying: 'On this manner spoke David.'
25 Saúl dijo: “Dile a David que el rey no desea otra dote que cien prepucios de los filisteos, para vengarse de los enemigos del rey”. Entonces Saúl pensó que haría caer a David por mano de los filisteos.
And Saul said: 'Thus shall ye say to David: The king desireth not any dowry, but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies.' For Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
26 Cuando sus siervos le dijeron a David estas palabras, le pareció bien ser el yerno del rey. Antes del plazo,
And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. And the days were not expired;
27 David se levantó y fue, él y sus hombres, y mató a doscientos hombres de los filisteos. Entonces David trajo sus prepucios, y se los dieron en número completo al rey, para que fuera yerno del rey. Entonces Saúl le dio a su hija Mical como esposa.
and David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.
28 Saúl vio y supo que el Señor estaba con David, y Mical, la hija de Saúl, lo amaba.
And Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David; and Michal Saul's daughter loved him.
29 Saúl tenía aún más miedo de David, y Saúl era continuamente enemigo de David.
And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was David's enemy continually.
30 Entonces salieron los príncipes de los filisteos; y cada vez que salían, David se comportaba con más sabiduría que todos los siervos de Saúl, de modo que su nombre era muy estimado.
Then the princes of the Philistines went forth; and it came to pass, as often as they went forth, that David prospered more than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by.
