1Y ASÍ que él hubo acabado de hablar con Saúl, el alma de Jonathán fué ligada con la de David, y amólo Jonathán como á su alma.
1After David had finished speaking with Saul, the souls of Jonathan and David were knit together, and Jonathan loved him as himself.
2Y Saúl le tomó aquel día, y no le dejó volver á casa de su padre.
2And from that day Saul kept David with him and did not let him return to his father’s house.
3E hicieron alianza Jonathán y David, porque él le amaba como á su alma.
3Then Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself.
4Y Jonathán se desnudó la ropa que tenía sobre sí, y dióla á David, y otras ropas suyas, hasta su espada, y su arco, y su talabarte.
4And Jonathan removed the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his tunic, his sword, his bow, and his belt.
5Y salía David á donde quiera que Saúl le enviaba, y portábase prudentemente. Hízolo por tanto Saúl capitán de gente de guerra, y era acepto en los ojos de todo el pueblo, y en los ojos de los criados de Saúl.
5So David marched out and prospered in everything Saul sent him to do, and Saul set him over the men of war. And this was pleasing in the sight of all the people, and of Saul’s officers as well.
6Y aconteció que como volvían ellos, cuando David tornó de matar al Filisteo, salieron las mujeres de todas las ciudades de Israel cantando, y con danzas, con tamboriles, y con alegrías y sonajas, á recibir al rey Saúl.
6As the troops were returning home after David had killed the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel to meet King Saul with singing and dancing, with joyful songs, and with tambourines and other instruments.
7Y cantaban las mujeres que danzaba, y decían: Saúl hirió sus miles, y David sus diez miles.
7And as the women danced, they sang out: “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.”
8Y enojóse Saúl en gran manera, y desagradó esta palabra en sus ojos, y dijo: A David dieron diez miles, y á mí miles; no le falta más que el reino.
8And Saul was furious and resented this song. “They have ascribed tens of thousands to David,” he said, “but only thousands to me. What more can he have but the kingdom?”
9Y desde aquel día Saúl miró de través á David.
9And from that day forward Saul kept a jealous eye on David.
10Otro día aconteció que el espíritu malo de parte de Dios tomó á Saúl, y mostrábase en su casa con trasportes de profeta: y David tañía con su mano como los otros días; y estaba una lanza á mano de Saúl.
10The next day a spirit of distress sent from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied inside the house while David played the harp as usual. Now Saul was holding a spear,
11Y arrojó Saúl la lanza, diciendo: Enclavaré á David en la pared. Y dos veces se apartó de él David.
11and he hurled it, thinking, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David eluded him twice.
12Mas Saúl se temía de David, por cuanto Jehová era con él, y se había apartado de Saúl.
12So Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with David but had departed from Saul.
13Apartólo pues Saúl de sí, é hízole capitán de mil; y salía y entraba delante del pueblo.
13Therefore Saul sent David away and gave him command of a thousand men. David led the troops out to battle and back,
14Y David se conducía prudentemente en todos sus negocios, y Jehová era con él.
14and he continued to prosper in all his ways, because the LORD was with him.
15Y viendo Saúl que se portaba tan prudentemente, temíase de él.
15When Saul saw that David was very successful, he was afraid of him.
16Mas todo Israel y Judá amaba á David, porque él salía y entraba delante de ellos.
16But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he was leading them out to battle and back.
17Y dijo Saúl á David: He aquí yo te daré á Merab mi hija mayor por mujer: solamente que me seas hombre valiente, y hagas las guerras de Jehová. Mas Saúl decía: No será mi mano contra él, mas la mano de los Filisteos será contra él.
17Then Saul said to David, “Here is my older daughter Merab. I will give her to you in marriage. Only be valiant for me and fight the LORD’s battles.” But Saul was thinking, “I need not raise my hand against him; let the hand of the Philistines be against him.”
18Y David respondió á Saúl: ¿Quién soy yo, ó qué es mi vida, ó la familia de mi padre en Israel, para ser yerno del rey?
18And David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my family or my father’s clan in Israel, that I should become the son-in-law of the king?”
19Y venido el tiempo en que Merab, hija de Saúl, se había de dar á David, fué dada por mujer á Adriel Meholatita.
19So when it was time to give Saul’s daughter Merab to David, she was given in marriage to Adriel of Meholah.
20Mas Michâl la otra hija de Saúl amaba á David; y fué dicho á Saúl, lo cual plugo en sus ojos.
20Now Saul’s daughter Michal loved David, and when this was reported to Saul, it pleased him.
21Y Saúl dijo: Yo se la daré, para que le sea por lazo, y para que la mano de los Filisteos sea contra él. Dijo pues Saúl á David: Con la otra serás mi yerno hoy.
21“I will give her to David,” Saul thought, “so that she may be a snare to him, and the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David, “For a second time now you can be my son-in-law.”
22Y mandó Saúl á sus criados: Hablad en secreto á David, diciéndole: He aquí, el rey te ama, y todos sus criados te quieren bien; sé pues yerno del rey.
22Then Saul ordered his servants, “Speak to David privately and tell him, ‘Behold, the king is pleased with you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore, become his son-in-law.’”
23Y los criados de Saúl hablaron estas palabras á los oídos de David. Y David dijo: ¿Paréceos á vosotros que es poco ser yerno del rey, siendo yo un hombre pobre y de ninguna estima?
23But when Saul’s servants relayed these words to David, he replied, “Does it seem trivial in your sight to be the son-in-law of the king? I am a poor man and lightly esteemed.”
24Y los criados de Saúl le dieron la respuesta diciendo: Tales palabras ha dicho David.
24And the servants told Saul what David had said.
25Y Saúl dijo: Decid así á David: No está el contentamiento del rey en el dote, sino en cien prepucios de Filisteos, para que sea tomada venganza de los enemigos del rey. Mas Saúl pensaba echar á David en manos de los Filisteos.
25Saul replied, “Say to David, ‘The king desires no other dowry but a hundred Philistine foreskins as revenge on his enemies.’” But Saul intended to cause David’s death at the hands of the Philistines.
26Y como sus criados declararon á David estas palabras, plugo la cosa en los ojos de David, para ser yerno del rey. Y como el plazo no era aún cumplido,
26When the servants reported these terms to David, he was pleased to become the king’s son-in-law. Before the wedding day arrived,
27Levantóse David, y partióse con su gente, é hirió doscientos hombres de los Filisteos; y trajo David los prepucios de ellos, y entregáronlos todos al rey, para que él fuese hecho yerno del rey. Y Saúl le dió á su hija Michâl por mujer.
27David and his men went out and killed two hundred Philistines. He brought their foreskins and presented them as payment in full to become the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave his daughter Michal to David in marriage.
28Pero Saúl, viendo y considerando que Jehová era con David, y que su hija Michâl lo amaba,
28When Saul realized that the LORD was with David and that his daughter Michal loved David,
29Temióse más de David; y fué Saúl enemigo de David todos los días.
29he grew even more afraid of David. So from then on Saul was David’s enemy.
30Y salían los príncipes de los Filisteos; y como ellos salían, portábase David más prudentemente que todos los siervos de Saúl: y era su nombre muy ilustre.
30Every time the Philistine commanders came out for battle, David was more successful than all of Saul’s officers, so that his name was highly esteemed.
