I Livro de Samuel 19

SAGRADA BIBLIA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Saul falou ao seu filho Jônatas e a todos os servos, ordenando-lhes que matassem Davi. Mas Jônatas, que tinha grande afeição por Davi,	1 And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan the son of Saul loved David exceedingly.
2 preveniu-o disso: Saul, meu pai, procura matar-te. Está de sobreaviso amanhã cedo; esconde-te.	2 And Jonathan told David, saying: Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: wherefore look to thyself, I beseech thee, in the morning, and thou shalt abide in a secret place and shalt be hid.
3 Sairei em companhia de meu pai ao campo onde estiveres. Falar-lhe-ei de ti, para ver o que ele diz, e te avisarei depois.	3 And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art: and I will speak of thee to my father, and whatsoever I shall see, I will tell thee.
4 Jônatas falou bem de Davi ao seu pai, e ajuntou: Que o rei não faça mal algum ao seu servo Davi, pois que ele nunca te fez mal algum. Ao contrário, prestou-te grandes serviços.	4 And Jonathan spoke good things of David to Saul his father: and said to him: Sin not, O king, against thy servant, David, because he hath not sinned against thee, and his works are very good towards thee.
5 Arriscou a sua vida para matar o filisteu, e o Senhor deu uma grande vitória a Israel. Foste testemunha disso e te alegraste. Por que queres pecar contra o sangue inocente, matando Davi sem motivo?	5 And he put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the Lord wrought great salvation for all Israel. Thou sawest it and didst rejoice. Why therefore wilt thou sin against innocent blood by killing David, who is without fault?
6 Saul ouviu a voz de Jônatas, e fez este juramento: Pela vida do Senhor, Davi não morrerá!	6 And when Saul heard this he was appeased with the words of Jonathan, and swore: As the Lord liveth he shall not be slain.
7 Então Jônatas chamou Davi e contou-lhe tudo isso. Levou-o em seguida a Saul, para que ele retomasse o seu lugar como dantes.	7 Then Jonathan called David and told him all these words: and Jonathan brought in David to Saul, and he was before him, as he had been yesterday and the day before.
8 Tendo recomeçado a guerra, marchou Davi contra os filisteus, combatendo-os e infligindo-lhes uma grande derrota, e eles fugiram diante dele.	8 And the war began again, and David went out and fought against the Philistines, and defeated them with a great slaughter, and they fled from his face.
9 O mau espírito do Senhor, porém, veio novamente sobre Saul. Estava ele sentado em sua casa, com a lança na mão; Davi tocava a cítara.	9 And the evil spirit from the Lord came upon Saul, and he sat in his house, and held a spear in his hand: and David played with his hand.
10 Saul, então, arremessou-lhe a lança, procurando cravá-lo na parede; Davi desviou-se e a lança foi cravar-se na parede. Davi esquivou-se e fugiu naquela mesma noite.	10 And Saul endeavoured to nail David to the wall with his spear. And David slipt away out of the presence of Saul: and the spear missed him, and was fastened in the wall, and David fled and escaped that night.
11 Ora, mandou o rei emissários à casa de Davi, para terem-no seguro e assassiná-lo pela manhã. Mas Micol, mulher de Davi, disse-lhe: Se não fugires esta noite, amanhã serás um homem morto.	11 Saul therefore sent his guards to David's house to watch him, that he might be killed in the morning. And when Michol David's wife had told him this, saying: Unless thou save thyself this night, to morrow thou wilt die,
12 Fê-lo, pois, descer pela janela, e ele fugiu são e salvo.	12 She let him down through a window. And he went and fled away and escaped.
13 Micol tomou o terafim, meteu-o na cama, colocou-lhe em redor da cabeça uma cobertura de pele de cabra, e cobriu tudo com um manto.	13 And Michol took an image and laid it on the bed, and put a goat's skin with the hair at the head of it, and covered it with clothes.
14 Quando chegaram os enviados de Saul para prender Davi, ela disse-lhes: Ele está doente.	14 And Saul sent officers to seize David: and it was answered that he was sick.
15 Saul mandou-os de novo, com ordem de vê-lo, dizendo: Trazei-mo com sua cama, e eu o matarei.	15 And again Saul sent to see David, saying: Bring him to me in the bed, that he may be slain.
16 Tendo chegado os mensageiros, só encontraram na cama o terafim com uma cobertura de pele de cabra no lugar da cabeça.	16 And when the messengers were come in, they found an image upon the bed, and a goat's skin at its head.
17 Saul disse a Micol: Por que me enganaste assim, deixando escapar o meu inimigo? Micol respondeu: Porque ele me disse: deixa-me partir, senão te mato!	17 And Saul said to Michol: Why hast thou deceived me so, and let my enemy go and flee away? And Michol answered Saul: Because he said to me: Let me go, or else I will kill thee.
18 Davi fugiu, pois, e foi ocultar-se junto de Samuel, em Ramá; e contou-lhe tudo o que Saul lhe fizera. E foram ambos morar em Naiot.	18 But David fled and escaped, and came to Samuel in Ramatha, and told him all that Saul had done to him: and he and Samuel went and dwelt in Najoth.
19 Disseram a Saul: Davi está em Naiot, perto de Ramá.	19 And it was told Saul by some, saying: Behold David is in Najoth in Ramatha.
20 Saul mandou homens para prendê-lo, mas quando viram a comunidade dos profetas em delírio, tendo Samuel à sua frente, o espírito de Deus veio sobre os enviados de Saul que começaram, também eles, a profetizar.	20 So Saul sent officers to take David: and when they saw a company of prophets prophesying, and Samuel presiding over them, the spirit of the Lord came also upon them, and they likewise began to prophesy.
21 Contaram-no a Saul, que enviou outros mensageiros, mas também estes se puseram a cantar como os primeiros. Saul mandou um terceiro grupo, os quais também profetizaram.	21 And when this was told Saul, he sent other messengers: but they also prophesied. And again Saul sent messengers the third time: and they prophesied also. And Saul being exceedingly angry,
22 Então ele foi pessoalmente a Ramá. Chegando à grande cisterna de Soco, perguntou: Onde estão Samuel e Davi? Estão em Naiot, responderam-lhe, perto de Ramá.	22 Went also himself to Ramatha, and came as far as the great cistern, which is in Socho, and he asked, and said: In what place are Samuel and David? And it was told him: Behold they axe in Najoth in Ramatha.
23 Mas, no caminho para Naiot, assaltou-o também o espírito de Deus, e Saul foi tomado de transes por todo o caminho até chegar a Naiot.	23 And he went to Najoth in Ramatha, and the spirit of the Lord came upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied till he came to Najoth in Ramatha.
24 Despiu suas vestes, profetizando diante de Samuel e ficou assim despido, prostrado por terra durante todo o dia e toda a noite. Daí o ditado: Está Saul também entre os profetas?	24 And he stripped himself also of his garments, and prophesied with the rest before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and night. This gave occasion to a proverb: What! is Saul too among the prophets?
