I Samuel 18

Ora, acabando Davi de falar com Saul, a alma de Jônatas ligou-se com a alma de Davi; e Jônatas o amou como à sua própria 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.

E desde aquele dia Saul o reteve, não lhe permitindo voltar para a casa de seu pai.

And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.

Então Jônatas fez um pacto com Davi, porque o amava como à sua própria vida.

Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.

E Jônatas se despojou da capa que vestia, e a deu a Davi, como também a sua armadura, e até mesmo a sua espada, o seu arco e o seu cinto.

And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.

E saía Davi aonde quer que Saul o enviasse, e era sempre bem sucedido; e Saul o pôs sobre a gente de guerra, e isso pareceu bem aos olhos de todo o povo, e até aos olhos dos servos de Saul.

And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.

Sucedeu porém que, retornando eles, quando Davi voltava de ferir o filisteu, as mulheres de todas as cidades de Israel saíram ao encontro do rei Saul, cantando e dançando alegremente, com tamboris, e com instrumentos de música.

And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of musick.

E as mulheres, dançando, cantavam umas para as outras, dizendo: Saul feriu os seus milhares, porém Davi os seus dez milhares.

And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.

Então Saul se indignou muito, pois aquela palavra pareceu mal aos seus olhos, e disse: Dez milhares atribuíram a Davi, e a mim somente milhares; que lhe falta, senão só o reino?

And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom?

Daquele dia em diante, Saul trazia Davi sob suspeita.

And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.

No dia seguinte o espírito maligno da parte de Deus se apoderou de Saul, que começou a profetizar no meio da casa; e Davi tocava a harpa, como nos outros dias. Saul tinha na mão uma lança.

And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul's hand.

E Saul arremessou a lança, dizendo consigo: Encravarei a Davi na parede. Davi, porém, desviou-se dele por duas vezes.

And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall with it. And David avoided out of his presence twice.

Saul, pois, temia a Davi, porque o Senhor era com Davi e se tinha retirado dele.

And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul.

Pelo que Saul o afastou de si, e o fez comandante de mil; e ele saía e entrava diante do povo.

Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.

E Davi era bem sucedido em todos os seus caminhos; e o Senhor era com ele.

And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.

Vendo, então, Saul que ele era tão bem sucedido, tinha receio dele.

Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him.

Mas todo o Israel e Judá amavam a Davi, porquanto saía e entrava diante deles.

But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.

Pelo que Saul disse a Davi: Eis que Merabe, minha filha mais velha, te darei por mulher, contanto que me sejas filho valoroso, e guerreies as guerras do Senhor. Pois Saul dizia consigo: Não seja contra ele a minha mão, mas sim a dos filisteus.

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 mine hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.

Mas Davi disse a Saul: Quem sou eu, e qual é a minha vida e a família de meu pai em Israel, para eu vir a ser genro do rei?

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?

Sucedeu, porém, que ao tempo em que Merabe, filha de Saul, devia ser dada a Davi, foi dada por mulher a Adriel, meolatita.

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.

Mas Mical, a outra filha de Saul, amava a Davi; sendo isto anunciado a Saul, pareceu bem aos seus olhos.

And Michal Saul's daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.

E Saul disse: Eu lha darei, para que ela lhe sirva de laço, e para que a mão dos filisteus venha a ser contra ele. Pelo que Saul disse a Davi: com a outra serás hoje meu genro.

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 in the one of the twain.

Saul, pois, deu ordem aos seus servos: Falai em segredo a Davi, dizendo: Eis que o rei se agrada de ti, e todos os seus servos te querem bem; agora, pois, consente em ser genro do rei.

And Saul commanded his servants, saying, Commune 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.

Assim os servos de Saul falaram todas estas palavras aos ouvidos de Davi. Então disse Davi: Parece-vos pouca coisa ser genro do rei, sendo eu homem pobre e de condição humilde?

And Saul's servants spake those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be a king's son in law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?

E os servos de Saul lhe anunciaram isto, dizendo: Assim e assim falou Davi.

And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spake David.

Então disse Saul: Assim direis a Davi: O rei não deseja dote, senão cem prepúcios de filisteus, para que seja vingado dos seus inimigos. Porquanto Saul tentava fazer Davi cair pela mão dos filisteus.

And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.

Tendo os servos de Saul anunciado estas palavras a Davi, pareceu bem aos seus olhos tornar-se genro do rei. Ora, ainda os dias não se haviam cumprido,

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.

quando Davi se levantou, partiu com os seus homens, e matou dentre os filisteus duzentos homens; e Davi trouxe os prepúcios deles, e os entregou, bem contados, ao rei, para que fosse seu genro. Então Saul lhe deu por mulher sua filha Mical.

Wherefore 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 tale to the king, that he might be the king's son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.

Mas quando Saul viu e compreendeu que o Senhor era com Davi e que todo o Israel o amava,

And Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that Michal Saul's daughter loved him.

temeu muito mais a Davi; e Saul se tornava cada vez mais seu inimigo.

And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David's enemy continually.

Então saíram os chefes dos filisteus à campanha; e sempre que eles saíam, Davi era mais bem sucedido do que todos os servos de Saul, pelo que o seu nome era mui estimado.

Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, after they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by.
