1 Samuel 18

KING JAMES BIBLE	BIBLIA
1 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.	1 En acabando de hablar David a Saúl, el alma de Jonatán se apegó al alma de David, y le amó Jonatán como a sí mismo.
2 And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.	2 Le retuvo Saúl aquel día y no le permitió regresar a casa de su padre.
3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.	3 Hizo Jonatán alianza con David, pues le amaba como a sí mismo.
4 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.	4 Se quitó Jonatán el manto que llevaba y se lo dio a David, su vestido y también su espada, su arco y su cinturón.
5 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.	5 David lograba éxito en todas las campañas que Saúl le encomendaba, y le puso Saúl al frente de hombres de guerra, y se hizo querer de todo el pueblo, también de los servidores de Saúl.
6 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.	6 A su regreso, cuando volvió David de matar al filisteo, salían las mujeres de todas la ciudades de Israel al encuentro del rey Saúl para cantar danzando al son de adufes y triángulos con cantos de alegria.
7 And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.	7 Las mujeres, danzando, cantaban a coro: «Saúl mató sus millares y David sus miríadas.
8 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?	8 Irritóse mucho Saúl y le disgustó el suceso, pues decía: «Dan miríadas a David y a mí millares; sólo le falta ser rey».
9 And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.	9 Y desde aquel día en adelante miraba Saúl a David con ojos de envidia.
10 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.	10 Al día siguiente se apoderó de Saúl un espíritu malo de Dios y deliraba en medio de la casa; David tocaba como otras veces. Tenía Saúl la lanza en la mano.
11 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.	11 Blandió Saúl la lanza y dijo: «Voy a clavar a David en la pared». Pero David le esquivó dos veces.
12 And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul.	12 Temía Saúl a David porque Yahveh estaba con David y de Saúl se había apartado
13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.	13 y le alejó Saúl de junto a sí, nombrándole jefe de mil y entraba y salía a la cabeza de la tropa.
14 And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.	14 David ejecutaba con éxito todas sus empresas y Yahveh estaba con él.
15 Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him.	15 Viendo Saúl que tenía mucho éxito le temió.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.	16 Todo Israel y Judá quería a David, pues salía y entraba a la cabeza de ellos.
17 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.	17 Dijo Saúl a David: «Voy a darte por mujer a mi hija mayor Merab, tan sólo con que me seas valeroso y luches las batallas de Yahveh». Saúl se había dicho: «Que no muera por mi mano, sino por mano de los filisteos».
18 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?	18 Dijo David a Saúl: «¿Quién soy yo y cuál es mi linaje, la casa de mi padre en Israel, para ser yerno del rey?»
19 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.	19 Pero cuando llegó el tiempo de entregar a Merab, la hija de Saúl, a David, fue entregada a Adriel de Mejolá.
20 And Michal Saul's daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.	20 Mikal, hija de Saúl, se enamoró de David; se lo dijeron a Saúl y le agradó la noticia.
21 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.	21 Dijo Saúl: «Se la entregaré, pero será para él un lazo, pues caerá sobre él la mano de los filisteos». (Saúl, pues, dijo dos veces a David: «Ahora serás mi yerno».)
22 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.	22 Ordenó Saúl a sus servidores: «Insinuad a David: Mira que el rey te estima; también te estiman todos sus servidores; procura ser yerno del rey».
23 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?	23 Los servidores de Saúl dijeron estas palabras a oídos de David y David replicó: «¿Os parece sencillo ser yerno del rey? Yo soy un hombre pobre y ruin».
24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spake David.	24 Comunicaron a Saúl sus servidores: «Estas palabras ha dicho David».
25 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.	25 Respondió Saúl: «Decid así a David: No quiere el rey dote, sino cien prepucios de filisteos para vengarse de los enemigos del rey». Tramaba el rey hacer sucumbir a David a manos de los filisteos.
26 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.	26 Los servidores comunicaron a David estas palabras y la cosa pareció bien a David para llegar a ser yerno del rey. No se había cumplido el plazo,
27 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.	27 cuando se levantó David y partió con sus hombres. Mató a los filisteos doscientos hombres y trajo David sus prepucios que entregó cumplidamente al rey para ser yerno del rey. Saúl le dio a su hija Mikal por mujer.
28 And Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that Michal Saul's daughter loved him.	28 Temió Saúl, pues sabía que Yahveh estaba con David y que toda la casa de Israel le amaba.
29 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David's enemy continually.	29 Aumentó el temor de Saúl hacia David y fue siempre hostil a David.
30 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.	30 Salían los jefes de los filisteos, pero en todas sus incursiones obtenía David más éxito que los demás servidores de Saúl, y su nombre se hizo muy famoso.
