New International Version NIV
1 Y ASI 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.
1
After David had finished talking with Saul, Jonathan became one in spirit with David, and he loved him as himself.
2 Y Saúl le tomó aquel día, y no le dejó volver á casa de su padre.
2
From that day Saul kept David with him and did not let him return home to his family.
3 E hicieron alianza Jonathán y David, porque él le amaba como á su alma.
3
And Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself.
4 Y 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.
4
Jonathan took off the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his tunic, and even his sword, his bow and his belt.
5 Y 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.
5
Whatever mission Saul sent him on, David was so successful that Saul gave him a high rank in the army. This pleased all the troops, and Saul’s officers as well.
6 Y 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.
6
When the men were returning home after David had killed the Philistine, the women came out from all the towns of Israel to meet King Saul with singing and dancing, with joyful songs and with timbrels and lyres.
7 Y cantaban las mujeres que danzaba, y decían: Saúl hirió sus miles, Y David sus diez miles.
7
As they danced, they sang: “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.”
8 Y 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.
8
Saul was very angry; this refrain displeased him greatly. “They have credited David with tens of thousands,” he thought, “but me with only thousands. What more can he get but the kingdom?”
9 Y desde aquel día Saúl miró de través á David.
9
And from that time on Saul kept a close eye on David.
10 Otro 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.
10
The next day an evil spirit from God came forcefully on Saul. He was prophesying in his house, while David was playing the lyre, as he usually did. Saul had a spear in his hand
11 Y arrojó Saúl la lanza, diciendo: Enclavaré á David en la pared. Y dos veces se apartó de él David.
11
and he hurled it, saying to himself, “I’ll pin David to the wall.” But David eluded him twice.
12 Mas Saúl se temía de David por cuanto Jehová era con él, y se había apartado de Saúl.
12
Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with David but had departed from Saul.
13 Apartólo pues Saúl de sí, é hízole capitán de mil; y salía y entraba delante del pueblo.
13
So he sent David away from him and gave him command over a thousand men, and David led the troops in their campaigns.
14 Y David se conducía prudentemente en todos sus negocios, y Jehová era con él.
14
In everything he did he had great success, because the LORD was with him.
15 Y viendo Saúl que se portaba tan prudentemente, temíase de él.
15
When Saul saw how successful he was, he was afraid of him.
16 Mas todo Israel y Judá amaba á David, porque él salía y entraba delante de ellos.
16
But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he led them in their campaigns.
17 Y 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.
17
Saul said to David, “Here is my older daughter Merab. I will give her to you in marriage; only serve me bravely and fight the battles of the LORD.” For Saul said to himself, “I will not raise a hand against him. Let the Philistines do that!”
18 Y 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?
18
But David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my family or my clan in Israel, that I should become the king’s son-in-law?”
19 Y venido el tiempo en que Merab, hija de Saúl, se había de dar á David, fué dada por mujer á Adriel Meholatita.
19
So when the time came for Merab, Saul’s daughter, to be given to David, she was given in marriage to Adriel of Meholah.
20 Mas Michâl la otra hija de Saúl amaba á David; y fué dicho á Saúl, lo cual plugo en sus ojos.
20
Now Saul’s daughter Michal was in love with David, and when they told Saul about it, he was pleased.
21 Y 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 him,” he thought, “so that she may be a snare to him and so that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David, “Now you have a second opportunity to become my son-in-law.”
22 Y 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.
22
Then Saul ordered his attendants: “Speak to David privately and say, ‘Look, the king likes you, and his attendants all love you; now become his son-in-law.’ ”
23 Y 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?
23
They repeated these words to David. But David said, “Do you think it is a small matter to become the king’s son-in-law? I’m only a poor man and little known.”
24 Y los criados de Saúl le dieron la respuesta diciendo: Tales palabras ha dicho David.
24
When Saul’s servants told him what David had said,
25 Y 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.
25
Saul replied, “Say to David, ‘The king wants no other price for the bride than a hundred Philistine foreskins, to take revenge on his enemies.’ ” Saul’s plan was to have David fall by the hands of the Philistines.
26 Y 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,
26
When the attendants told David these things, he was pleased to become the king’s son-in-law. So before the allotted time elapsed,
27 Levantóse 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.
27
David took his men with him and went out and killed two hundred Philistines and brought back their foreskins. They counted out the full number to the king so that David might become the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him his daughter Michal in marriage.
28 Pero Saúl, viendo y considerando que Jehová era con David, y que su hija Michâl lo amaba,
28
When Saul realized that the LORD was with David and that his daughter Michal loved David,
29 Temióse más de David; y fué Saúl enemigo de David todos los días.
29
Saul became still more afraid of him, and he remained his enemy the rest of his days.
30 Y 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.
30
The Philistine commanders continued to go out to battle, and as often as they did, David met with more success than the rest of Saul’s officers, and his name became well known.
