1 Samuel 18
The Book of Mormon (BOM) vs NVT
1 AND it came to pass that king Lamoni caused that his servants should stand forth and testify to all the things which they had seen concerning the matter.
1 Depois que Davi terminou de falar com Saul, formou-se de imediato um forte laço de amizade entre ele e Jônatas, filho do rei, por causa do amor que Jônatas tinha por Davi.
2 And when they had all testified to the things which they had seen, and he had learned of the faithfulness of Ammon in preserving his flocks, and also of his great power in contending against those who sought to slay him, he was astonished exceedingly, and said: Surely, this is more than a man. Behold, is not this the Great Spirit who doth send such great punishments upon this people, because of their murders?
2 A partir daquele dia, Saul manteve Davi consigo e não o deixou voltar para a casa de seu pai.
3 And they answered the king, and said: Whether he be the Great Spirit or a man, we know not; but this much we do know, that he cannot be slain by the enemies of the king; neither can they scatter the king's flocks when he is with us, because of his expertness and great strength; therefore, we know that he is a friend to the king. And now, O king, we do not believe that a man has such great power, for we know he cannot be slain.
3 Jônatas assumiu um compromisso solene com Davi, pois o amava como a si mesmo.
4 And now, when the king heard these words, he said unto them: Now I know that it is the Great Spirit; and he has come down at this time to preserve your lives, that I might not slay you as I did your brethren. Now this is the Great Spirit of whom our fathers have spoken.
4 Para selar essa aliança, Jônatas tirou seu manto e o entregou a Davi, junto com sua armadura, sua espada, seu arco e seu cinturão.
5 Now this was the tradition of Lamoni, which he had received from his father, that there was a Great Spirit. Notwithstanding they believed in a Great Spirit, they supposed that whatsoever they did was right; nevertheless, Lamoni began to fear exceedingly, with fear lest he had done wrong in slaying his servants;
5 Davi cumpria com êxito todas as missões de que Saul o encarregava. Então Saul lhe deu uma posição de comando no exército, o que agradou tanto ao povo como aos oficiais de Saul.
6 For he had slain many of them because their brethren had scattered their flocks at the place of water; and thus, because they had had their flocks scattered they were slain.
6 Quando o exército israelita regressou vitorioso, depois que Davi matou o gigante filisteu, mulheres de todas as cidades saíram ao encontro do rei Saul. Cantavam e dançavam de alegria, com tamborins e címbalos.
7 Now it was the practice of these Lamanites to stand by the waters of Sebus to scatter the flocks of the people, that thereby they might drive away many that were scattered unto their own land, it being a practice of plunder among them.
7 Esta era a canção: “Saul matou milhares, e Davi, dezenas de milhares!”.
8 And it came to pass that king Lamoni inquired of his servants, saying: Where is this man that has such great power?
8 Saul ficou indignado com essas palavras. “O que é isso?”, disse ele. “Atribuem a Davi dezenas de milhares, e a mim, apenas milhares? Só falta o declararem rei!”
9 And they said unto him: Behold, he is feeding thy horses. Now the king had commanded his servants, previous to the time of the watering of their flocks, that they should prepare his horses and chariots, and conduct him forth to the land of Nephi; for there had been a great feast appointed at the land of Nephi, by the father of Lamoni, who was king over all the land.
9 Daquele momento em diante, Saul começou a olhar para Davi com suspeita.
10 Now when king Lamoni heard that Ammon was preparing his horses and his chariots he was more astonished, because of the faithfulness of Ammon, saying: Surely there has not been any servant among all my servants that has been so faithful as this man; for even he doth remember all my commandments to execute them.
10 No dia seguinte, um espírito maligno enviado por Deus se apoderou de Saul, e ele começou a delirar em sua casa, como se fosse louco. Davi tocava a harpa, como fazia todos os dias. Mas Saul tinha uma lança na mão
11 Now I surely know that this is the Great Spirit, and I would desire him that he come in unto me, but I durst not.
11 e, de repente, atirou-a contra Davi, com a intenção de encravá-lo na parede. Davi, porém, escapou duas vezes.
12 And it came to pass that when Ammon had made ready the horses and the chariots for the king and his servants, he went in unto the king, and he saw that the countenance of the king was changed; therefore he was about to return out of his presence.
12 Saul tinha medo de Davi, pois o S enhor o havia abandonado e agora estava com Davi.
13 And one of the king's servants said unto him, Rabbanah, which is, being interpreted, powerful or great king, considering their kings to be powerful; and thus he said unto him: Rabbanah, the king desireth thee to stay.
13 Por fim, Saul o afastou de sua presença e o nomeou comandante de mil soldados, e Davi conduzia as tropas vitoriosamente nas batalhas.
14 Therefore Ammon turned himself unto the king, and said unto him: What wilt thou that I should do for thee, O king? And the king answered him not for the space of an hour, according to their time, for he knew not what he should say unto him.
14 Davi continuou a ter êxito em tudo que fazia, pois o S enhor estava com ele.
15 And it came to pass that Ammon said unto him again: What desirest thou of me? But the king answered him not.
15 Quando Saul viu isso, teve ainda mais medo.
16 And it came to pass that Ammon, being filled with the Spirit of God, therefore he perceived the thoughts of the king. And he said unto him: Is it because thou hast heard that I defended thy servants and thy flocks, and slew seven of their brethren with the sling and with the sword, and smote off the arms of others, in order to defend thy flocks and thy servants; behold, is it this that causeth thy marvelings?
16 Mas todo o Israel e todo o Judá amavam Davi, porque ele conduzia as tropas vitoriosamente nas batalhas.
17 I say unto you, what is it, that thy marvelings are so great? Behold, I am a man, and am thy servant; therefore, whatsoever thou desirest which is right, that will I do.
17 Certo dia, Saul disse a Davi: “Estou pronto a lhe dar minha filha mais velha, Merabe, por esposa. Mas antes, sirva-me como um guerreiro valente, lutando nas batalhas do S enhor ”. Pois Saul pensou: “Em vez de matá-lo eu mesmo, vou enviá-lo aos filisteus, e eles o matarão”.
18 Now when the king had heard these words, he marveled again, for he beheld that Ammon could discern his thoughts; but notwithstanding this, king Lamoni did open his mouth, and said unto him: Who art thou? Art thou that Great Spirit, who knows all things?
18 Davi, porém, respondeu a Saul: “Quem sou eu, e quem é minha família em Israel para que eu me torne genro do rei?”.
19 Ammon answered and said unto him: I am not.
19 Assim, quando chegou o tempo de Saul dar sua filha Merabe em casamento a Davi, ele a deu a Adriel, um homem de Meolá.
20 And the king said: How knowest thou the thoughts of my heart? Thou mayest speak boldly, and tell me concerning these things; and also tell me by what power ye slew and smote off the arms of my brethren that scattered my flocks-
20 Contudo, a outra filha de Saul, Mical, amava Davi, e Saul ficou contente quando soube disso.
21 And now, if thou wilt tell me concerning these things, whatsoever thou desirest I will give unto thee; and if it were needed, I would guard thee with my armies; but I know that thou art more powerful than all they; nevertheless, whatsoever thou desirest of me I will grant it unto thee.
21 “É mais uma oportunidade de os filisteus matarem Davi!”, pensou ele. Para Davi, porém, ele disse: “Você tem mais uma oportunidade de se tornar meu genro”.
22 Now Ammon being wise, yet harmless, he said unto Lamoni: Wilt thou hearken unto my words, if I tell thee by what power I do these things? And this is the thing that I desire of thee.
22 Então Saul instruiu seus servos a dizerem a Davi, em particular: “O rei gosta muito de você, e nós também. Por que não aceita a oferta do rei e se torna genro dele?”.
23 And the king answered him, and said: Yea, I will believe all thy words. And thus he was caught with guile.
23 Quando disseram isso a Davi, ele respondeu: “Como um homem pobre e de família humilde terá condições de pagar o dote da filha de um rei?”.
24 And Ammon began to speak unto him with boldness, and said unto him: Believest thou that there is a God?
24 Então os homens de Saul contaram-lhe o que Davi disse,
25 And he answered, and said unto him: I do not know what that meaneth.
25 e Saul respondeu: “Digam a Davi que o único dote que quero são cem prepúcios de filisteus! Desejo apenas me vingar de meus inimigos”. Mas Saul planejava que Davi fosse morto na luta.
26 And then Ammon said: Believest thou that there is a Great Spirit?
26 Quando os servos de Saul trouxeram essa notícia a Davi, ele aceitou a oferta de bom grado. Antes do prazo estipulado,
27 And he said, Yea.
27 ele e seus homens saíram e mataram duzentos filisteus. Davi cumpriu a exigência para tornar-se genro do rei, trazendo-lhe os prepúcios. Então Saul deu sua filha Mical por esposa a Davi.
28 And Ammon said: This is God. And Ammon said unto him again: Believest thou that this Great Spirit, who is God, created all things which are in heaven and in the earth?
28 Quando Saul percebeu que o S enhor estava com Davi, e viu como sua filha Mical o amava,
29 And he said: Yea, I believe that he created all things which are in the earth; but I do not know the heavens.
29 temeu Davi ainda mais e continuou a ser inimigo dele pelo resto de sua vida.
30 And Ammon said unto him: The heavens is a place where God dwells and all his holy angels.
30 Sempre que os comandantes dos filisteus atacavam, Davi era mais bem-sucedido contra eles que todos os outros oficiais de Saul. Assim, o nome de Davi se tornou muito famoso.
31 And king Lamoni said: Is it above the earth?
31 — ausente —
32 And Ammon said: Yea, and he looketh down upon all the children of men; and he knows all the thoughts and intents of the heart; for by his hand were they all created from the beginning.
32 — ausente —
33 And king Lamoni said: I believe all these things which thou hast spoken. Art thou sent from God?
33 — ausente —
34 Ammon said unto him: I am a man; and man in the beginning was created after the image of God, and I am called by his Holy Spirit to teach these things unto this people, that they may be brought to a knowledge of that which is just and true;
34 — ausente —
35 And a portion of that Spirit dwelleth in me, which giveth me knowledge, and also power according to my faith and desires which are in God.
35 — ausente —
36 Now when Ammon had said these words, he began at the creation of the world, and also the creation of Adam, and told him all the things concerning the fall of man, and rehearsed and laid before him the records and the holy scriptures of the people, which had been spoken by the prophets, even down to the time that their father, Lehi, left Jerusalem.
36 — ausente —
37 And he also rehearsed unto them (for it was unto the king and to his servants) all the journeyings of their fathers in the wilderness, and all their sufferings with hunger and thirst, and their travail, and so forth.
37 — ausente —
38 And he also rehearsed unto them concerning the rebellions of Laman and Lemuel, and the sons of Ishmael, yea, all their rebellions did he relate unto them; and he expounded unto them all the records and scriptures from the time that Lehi left Jerusalem down to the present time.
38 — ausente —
39 But this is not all; for he expounded unto them the plan of redemption, which was prepared from the foundation of the world; and he also made known unto them concerning the coming of Christ, and all the works of the Lord did he make known unto them.
39 — ausente —
40 And it came to pass that after he had said all these things, and expounded them to the king, that the king believed all his words.
40 — ausente —
41 And he began to cry unto the Lord, saying: O Lord, have mercy; according to thy abundant mercy which thou hast had upon the people of Nephi, have upon me, and my people.
41 — ausente —
42 And now, when he had said this, he fell unto the earth, as if he were dead.
42 — ausente —
43 And it came to pass that his servants took him and carried him in unto his wife, and laid him upon a bed; and he lay as if he were dead for the space of two days and two nights; and his wife, and his sons, and his daughters mourned over him, after the manner of the Lamanites, greatly lamenting his loss.
