1 Samuel 18

1E sucedeu que, acabando ele de falar com Saul, a alma de Jônatas se ligou com a alma de Davi; e Jônatas o amou, como à sua própria alma.

1And 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.

2E Saul naquele dia o tomou, e não lhe permitiu que voltasse para casa de seu pai.

2And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.

3E Jônatas e Davi fizeram aliança; porque Jônatas o amava como à sua própria alma.

3Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.

4E Jônatas se despojou da capa que trazia sobre si, e a deu a Davi, como também as suas vestes, até a sua espada, e o seu arco, e o seu cinto.

4And 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.

5E saía Davi aonde quer que Saul o enviasse e conduzia-se com prudência, e Saul o pôs sobre os homens de guerra; e era aceito aos olhos de todo o povo, e até aos olhos dos servos de Saul.

5And 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. {behaved...: or, prospered}

6Sucedeu, porém, que, vindo eles, quando Davi voltava de ferir os filisteus, as mulheres de todas as cidades de Israel saíram ao encontro do rei Saul, cantando e dançando, com adufes, com alegria, e com instrumentos de música.

6And 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. {Philistine: or, Philistines} {instruments...: Heb. three stringed instruments}

7E as mulheres dançando e cantando se respondiam umas às outras, dizendo: Saul feriu os seus milhares, porém, Davi os seus dez milhares.

7And the women answered {one another} as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.

8Então Saul se indignou muito, e aquela palavra pareceu mal aos seus olhos, e disse: Dez milhares deram a Davi, e a mim somente milhares; na verdade, que lhe falta, senão só o reino?

8And 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? {displeased him: Heb. was evil in his eyes}

9E, desde aquele dia em diante, Saul tinha Davi em suspeita.

9And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.

10E aconteceu no outro dia, que o mau espírito da parte de Deus se apoderou de Saul, e profetizava no meio da casa; e Davi tocava a harpa com a sua mão, como nos outros dias; Saul, porém, tinha na mão uma lança.

10And 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.

11E Saul atirou com a lança, dizendo: Encravarei a Davi na parede. Porém Davi se desviou dele por duas vezes.

11And 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.

12E temia Saul a Davi, porque o Senhor era com ele e se tinha retirado de Saul.

12And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul.

13Por isso Saul o desviou de si, e o pôs por capitão de mil; e saía e entrava diante do povo.

13Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.

14E Davi se conduzia com prudência em todos os seus caminhos, e o Senhor era com ele.

14And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD {was} with him. {behaved...: or, prospered}

15Vendo então Saul que tão prudentemente se conduzia, tinha receio dele.

15Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him.

16Porém todo o Israel e Judá amava a Davi, porquanto saía e entrava diante deles.

16But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.

17Por isso Saul disse a Davi: Eis que Merabe, minha filha mais velha, te darei por mulher; sê-me somente filho valoroso, e guerreia as guerras do Senhor (porque Saul dizia consigo: Não seja contra ele a minha mão, mas sim a dos filisteus).

17And 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. {valiant: Heb. a son of valour}

18Mas Davi disse a Saul: Quem sou eu, e qual é a minha vida e a família de meu pai em Israel, para vir a ser genro do rei?

18And 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?

19Sucedeu, porém, que ao tempo que Merabe, filha de Saul, devia ser dada a Davi, ela foi dada por mulher a Adriel, meolatita.

19But 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.

20Mas Mical, a outra filha de Saul amava a Davi; o que, sendo anunciado a Saul, pareceu isto bom aos seus olhos.

20And Michal Saul's daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him. {pleased him: Heb. was right in his eyes}

21E Saul disse: Eu lha darei, para que 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.

21And 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.

22E Saul deu ordem aos seus servos: Falai em segredo a Davi, dizendo: Eis que o rei te está mui afeiçoado, e todos os seus servos te amam; agora, pois, consente em ser genro do rei.

22And 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.

23E os servos de Saul falaram todas estas palavras aos ouvidos de Davi. Então disse Davi: Parece-vos pouco aos vossos olhos ser genro do rei, sendo eu homem pobre e desprezível?

23And 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?

24E os servos de Saul lhe anunciaram isto, dizendo: Foram tais as palavras que falou Davi.

24And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spake David. {On...: Heb. According to these words}

25Então disse Saul: Assim direis a Davi: O rei não tem necessidade de dote, senão de cem prepúcios de filisteus, para se tomar vingança dos inimigos do rei. Porquanto Saul tentava fazer cair a Davi pela mão dos filisteus.

25And 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.

26E anunciaram os seus servos estas palavras a Davi, e este negócio pareceu bem aos olhos de Davi, de que fosse genro do rei; porém ainda os dias não se haviam cumprido.

26And 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. {expired: Heb. fulfilled}

27Então Davi se levantou, e partiu com os seus homens, e feriu dentre os filisteus duzentos homens, e Davi trouxe os seus prepúcios, e os entregou todos ao rei, para que fosse genro do rei; então Saul lhe deu por mulher a sua filha.

27Wherefore 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.

28E viu Saul, e notou que o Senhor era com Davi; e Mical, filha de Saul, o amava.

28And Saul saw and knew that the LORD {was} with David, and {that} Michal Saul's daughter loved him.

29Então Saul temeu muito mais a Davi; e Saul foi todos os seus dias inimigo de Davi.

29And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David's enemy continually.

30E, saindo os príncipes dos filisteus à campanha, sucedia que Davi se conduzia com mais êxito do que todos os servos de Saul; portanto o seu nome era muito estimado.

30Then 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. {set by: Heb. precious}
