1 Samuel 18

DOUAI-RHEIMS	BIBLIA
1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, 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 not let him return to his father's house.	2 Le retuvo Saúl aquel día y no le permitió regresar a casa de su padre.
3 And David and Jonathan made a covenant, for be 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 coat with which he was clothed, and gave it to David, and the rest of 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 to whatsoever business Saul sent him, and he behaved himself prudently: and Saul set him over the soldiers, and he was acceptable in the eyes of all the people, and especially in the eyes 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 Now when David returned, after be slew the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with timbrels of joy, and cornets.	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 sung as they played, and they said: I Saul slew 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 exceeding angry, and this word was displeasing in his eyes, and he said: They have given David ten thousands, and to me they have given but a thousand; 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 did not look on David with a good eye from that day and forward.	9 Y desde aquel día en adelante miraba Saúl a David con ojos de envidia.
10 And the day after the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David played with his hand as at other times. And Saul held a spear in his 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 threw it, thinking to nail David to the wall: and David stept aside 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 feared David, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from himself.	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 a captain over a thousand men, 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 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 And Saul saw that he was exceeding prudent, and began to beware of him.	15 Viendo Saúl que tenía mucho éxito le temió.
16 But all Israel and Juda loved David, for he came in and went out 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 Merob, her will I give thee to wife: only be a valiant man, and fight the battles of the Lord. Now Saul said within himself: Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hands 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 to Saul: Who am I, or what is my life, or my father's family in Israel, that I should be son in law of 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 And it came to pass at the time when Merob the daughter of Saul should have been given to David, that she was given to Hadriel the Molathite 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 But Michol the other daughter of Saul loved David. And it was told Saul, and it 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 her to him, that she may be a stumblingblock to him, and that the band of the Philistines may be upon him. And Saul said to David: In two things thou shalt be my son in law this day.	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 to speak to David privately, saying: Behold thou pleasest the king, 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 the servants of Saul spoke all these words in the ears of David. And David said: Doth it seem to you a small matter to be the king's son in law? But I am a poor man, and of small ability.	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: Such words as these hath David spoken.	24 Comunicaron a Saúl sus servidores: «Estas palabras ha dicho David».
25 And Saul said: Speak thus to David: The king desireth not any dowry, but only a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies. Now Saul thought to deliver David into the hands 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 had told David the words that Saul had said, the word was pleasing in the eyes of David to be the king's son in law.	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 And after a few days David rose up, and went with the men that were under him, and he slew of the Philistines two hundred men, and brought their foreskins and numbered them out to the king, that he might be his son in law. Saul therefore gave him Michol 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 understood that the Lord was with David. And Michol the daughter of Saul loved him.	28 Temió Saúl, pues sabía que Yahveh estaba con David y que toda la casa de Israel le amaba.
29 And Saul began to fear David more: and Saul became David's enemy continually.	29 Aumentó el temor de Saúl hacia David y fue siempre hostil a David.
30 And the princes of the Philistines went forth: and from the beginning of their going forth, David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul, and his name became very famous.	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.
