1 Samuel 19
Louis Segond
19 Saül parla à Jonathan, son fils, et à tous ses serviteurs, de faire mourir David. Mais Jonathan, fils de Saül, qui avait une grande affection pour David,
2 l'en informa et lui dit: Saül, mon père, cherche à te faire mourir. Sois donc sur tes gardes demain matin, reste dans un lieu retiré, et cache-toi.
3 Je sortirai et je me tiendrai à côté de mon père dans le champ où tu seras; je parlerai de toi à mon père, je verrai ce qu'il dira, et je te le rapporterai.
4 Jonathan parla favorablement de David à Saül, son père: Que le roi, dit-il, ne commette pas un péché à l'égard de son serviteur David, car il n'en a point commis envers toi. Au contraire, il a agi pour ton bien;
5 il a exposé sa vie, il a tué le Philistin, et l'Éternel a opéré une grande délivrance pour tout Israël. Tu l'as vu, et tu t'en es réjoui. Pourquoi pécherais-tu contre le sang innocent, et ferais-tu sans raison mourir David?
6 Saül écouta la voix de Jonathan, et il jura, disant: L'Éternel est vivant! David ne mourra pas.
7 Jonathan appela David, et lui rapporta toutes ces paroles; puis il l'amena auprès de Saül, en présence de qui David fut comme auparavant.
8 La guerre continuait. David marcha contre les Philistins, et se battit avec eux; il leur fit éprouver une grande défaite, et ils s'enfuirent devant lui.
9 Alors le mauvais esprit de l'Éternel fut sur Saül, qui était assis dans sa maison, sa lance à la main.
10 David jouait, et Saül voulut le frapper avec sa lance contre la paroi. Mais David se détourna de lui, et Saül frappa de sa lance la paroi. David prit la fuite et s'échappa pendant la nuit.
11 Saül envoya des gens vers la maison de David, pour le garder et le faire mourir au matin. Mais Mical, femme de David, l'en informa et lui dit: Si tu ne te sauves pas cette nuit, demain tu es mort.
12 Elle le fit descendre par la fenêtre, et David s'en alla et s'enfuit. C'est ainsi qu'il échappa.
13 Ensuite Mical prit le théraphim, qu'elle plaça dans le lit; elle mit une peau de chèvre à son chevet, et elle l'enveloppa d'une couverture.
14 Lorsque Saül envoya des gens pour prendre David, elle dit: Il est malade.
15 Saül les renvoya pour qu'ils le vissent, et il dit: Apportez-le-moi dans son lit, afin que je le fasse mourir.
16 Ces gens revinrent, et voici, le théraphim était dans le lit, et une peau de chèvre à son chevet.
17 Saül dit à Mical: Pourquoi m'as-tu trompé de la sorte, et as-tu laissé partir mon ennemi qui s'est échappé? Mical répondit à Saül: Il m'a dit: Laisse moi aller, ou je te tue!
18 C'est ainsi que David prit la fuite et qu'il échappa. Il se rendit auprès de Samuel à Rama, et lui raconta tout ce que Saül lui avait fait. Puis il alla avec Samuel demeurer à Najoth.
19 On le rapporta à Saül, en disant: Voici, David est à Najoth, près de Rama.
20 Saül envoya des gens pour prendre David. Ils virent une assemblée de prophètes qui prophétisaient, ayant Samuel à leur tête. L'esprit de Dieu saisit les envoyés de Saül, et ils se mirent aussi à prophétiser eux-mêmes.
21 On en fit rapport à Saül, qui envoya d'autres gens, et eux aussi prophétisèrent. Il en envoya encore pour la troisième fois, et ils prophétisèrent également.
22 Alors Saül alla lui-même à Rama. Arrivé à la grande citerne qui est à Sécou, il demanda: Où sont Samuel et David? On lui répondit: Ils sont à Najoth, près de Rama.
23 Et il se dirigea vers Najoth, près de Rama. L'esprit de Dieu fut aussi sur lui; et Saül continua son chemin en prophétisant, jusqu'à son arrivée à Najoth, près de Rama.
24 Il ôta ses vêtements, et il prophétisa aussi devant Samuel; et il se jeta nu par terre tout ce jour-là et toute la nuit. C'est pourquoi l'on dit: Saül est-il aussi parmi les prophètes?

Saúl intenta matar a David
19 Saúl ordenó a su hijo Jonatán y a todos sus oficiales que mataran a David. Pero Jonatán, que quería mucho a David, 2 lo puso sobre aviso. Le dijo:
—Saúl, mi padre, está tratando de matarte. Así que mañana temprano ten cuidado y quédate escondido en algún lugar secreto. 3 Yo saldré, en compañía de mi padre, al campo donde tú vas a estar. Hablaré con él acerca de ti, a ver qué pasa, y luego te lo haré saber.
4 Y Jonatán habló con Saúl en favor de David. Le dijo:
—Su Majestad no debiera cometer ningún mal contra su siervo David, porque él no le ha hecho ningún mal a Su Majestad, y sí mucho bien; 5 pues jugándose la vida mató al filisteo, y así el Señor libró por completo a todo Israel. Su Majestad lo vio y se alegró de ello. ¿Por qué habrá de atentar Su Majestad contra la vida de un inocente, tratando de matar a David sin motivo?
6 Al escuchar Saúl las razones de Jonatán, exclamó:
—Juro por el Señor que David no morirá.
7 Entonces Jonatán llamó a David y le informó de toda esta conversación. Después lo llevó ante Saúl, y David siguió al servicio de Saúl igual que antes.
8 Volvió a estallar la guerra, y David salió a luchar contra los filisteos y los venció, ocasionándoles una gran derrota y haciéndolos huir. 9 En cuanto a Saúl, otra vez lo atacó el espíritu maligno de parte del Señor; y estando sentado en su habitación, con su lanza en la mano, mientras David tocaba, 10 intentó clavar con ella a David en la pared. Pero David pudo esquivar el golpe, y la lanza de Saúl se clavó en la pared. Aquella misma noche David se escapó y huyó. 11 Inmediatamente Saúl dio órdenes a sus hombres de que fueran a casa de David, para que lo vigilaran y lo mataran a la mañana siguiente. Pero Mical, la mujer de David, lo puso sobre aviso, diciéndole:
—Si no te pones a salvo esta noche, mañana serás hombre muerto.
12 En seguida Mical descolgó a David por una ventana, y David pudo escapar. 13 Luego Mical tomó un ídolo y lo metió en la cama, le puso en la cabecera un tejido de pelo de cabra y lo tapó con una sábana. 14 Y cuando Saúl ordenó a sus hombres que apresaran a David, Mical les dijo que estaba enfermo. 15 Pero Saúl volvió a mandar a sus hombres en busca de David, y les dio esta orden:
—¡Aunque esté en la cama, sáquenlo de allí y tráiganmelo para que lo mate!
16 Los hombres de Saúl entraron en casa de David, pero en la cama encontraron solamente el ídolo con el tejido de pelo de cabra en la cabecera. 17 Entonces Saúl dijo a Mical:
—¿Por qué me has engañado de este modo, dejando que escape mi enemigo?
Mical le respondió:
—Porque él juró que me mataría si no lo dejaba escapar.
18 Así fue como David logró escapar. Y fue a ver a Samuel en Ramá, y le contó todo lo que Saúl le había hecho. Luego David y Samuel se fueron a vivir a Naiot. 19 Y cuando Saúl se enteró de que David se hallaba en Naiot de Ramá, 20 envió a sus hombres a que lo apresaran. Al llegar, los hombres de Saúl vieron a un grupo de profetas en trance, a los que dirigía Samuel. De pronto, el espíritu de Dios se apoderó de los hombres de Saúl, y también ellos cayeron en trance profético.
21 Cuando Saúl lo supo, mandó a otros hombres, pero también ellos cayeron en trance profético. Por tercera vez mandó Saúl a unos hombres, y también a ellos les ocurrió lo mismo. 22 Entonces Saúl fue personalmente a Ramá, y cuando llegó al gran depósito de agua que hay en Secú, preguntó por Samuel y David. No faltó quien le dijera que estaban en Naiot de Ramá, 23 y Saúl se dirigió allá. Pero el espíritu de Dios también se apoderó de él, y Saúl cayó en trance profético, y así siguió su camino hasta llegar a Naiot de Ramá; 24 además se quitó la ropa, y así, desnudo, permaneció en trance delante de Samuel todo el día y toda la noche. De allí viene el dicho: «¿También Saúl es uno de los profetas?»
1 Samuel 19
King James Version
19 And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David.
2 But Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself:
3 And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and I will commune with my father of thee; and what I see, that I will tell thee.
4 And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have been to thee-ward very good:
5 For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the Lord wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?
6 And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, As the Lord liveth, he shall not be slain.
7 And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan shewed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past.
8 And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled from him.
9 And the evil spirit from the Lord was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with his hand.
10 And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin: but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.
11 Saul also sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal David's wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to night, to morrow thou shalt be slain.
12 So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.
13 And Michal took an image, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster, and covered it with a cloth.
14 And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.
15 And Saul sent the messengers again to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.
16 And when the messengers were come in, behold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster.
17 And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away mine enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said unto me, Let me go; why should I kill thee?
18 So David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.
19 And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.
20 And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
21 And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.
22 Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah.
23 And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
24 And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?

New International Version
Saul Tries to Kill David
19 Saul told his son Jonathan(A) and all the attendants to kill(B) David. But Jonathan had taken a great liking to David 2 and warned him, “My father Saul is looking for a chance to kill you. Be on your guard tomorrow morning; go into hiding(C) and stay there. 3 I will go out and stand with my father in the field where you are. I’ll speak(D) to him about you and will tell you what I find out.”
4 Jonathan spoke(E) well of David to Saul his father and said to him, “Let not the king do wrong(F) to his servant David; he has not wronged you, and what he has done has benefited you greatly. 5 He took his life(G) in his hands when he killed the Philistine. The Lord won a great victory(H) for all Israel, and you saw it and were glad. Why then would you do wrong to an innocent(I) man like David by killing him for no reason?”
6 Saul listened to Jonathan and took this oath: “As surely as the Lord lives, David will not be put to death.”
7 So Jonathan called David and told him the whole conversation. He brought him to Saul, and David was with Saul as before.(J)
8 Once more war broke out, and David went out and fought the Philistines. He struck them with such force that they fled before him.
9 But an evil[a] spirit(K) from the Lord came on Saul as he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand. While David was playing the lyre,(L) 10 Saul tried to pin him to the wall with his spear, but David eluded(M) him as Saul drove the spear into the wall. That night David made good his escape.
11 Saul sent men to David’s house to watch(N) it and to kill him in the morning.(O) But Michal, David’s wife, warned him, “If you don’t run for your life tonight, tomorrow you’ll be killed.” 12 So Michal let David down through a window,(P) and he fled and escaped. 13 Then Michal took an idol(Q) and laid it on the bed, covering it with a garment and putting some goats’ hair at the head.
14 When Saul sent the men to capture David, Michal said,(R) “He is ill.”
15 Then Saul sent the men back to see David and told them, “Bring him up to me in his bed so that I may kill him.” 16 But when the men entered, there was the idol in the bed, and at the head was some goats’ hair.
17 Saul said to Michal, “Why did you deceive me like this and send my enemy away so that he escaped?”
Michal told him, “He said to me, ‘Let me get away. Why should I kill you?’”
18 When David had fled and made his escape, he went to Samuel at Ramah(S) and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went to Naioth and stayed there. 19 Word came to Saul: “David is in Naioth at Ramah”; 20 so he sent men to capture him. But when they saw a group of prophets(T) prophesying, with Samuel standing there as their leader, the Spirit of God came on(U) Saul’s men, and they also prophesied.(V) 21 Saul was told about it, and he sent more men, and they prophesied too. Saul sent men a third time, and they also prophesied. 22 Finally, he himself left for Ramah and went to the great cistern at Seku. And he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?”
“Over in Naioth at Ramah,” they said.
23 So Saul went to Naioth at Ramah. But the Spirit of God came even on him, and he walked along prophesying(W) until he came to Naioth. 24 He stripped(X) off his garments, and he too prophesied in Samuel’s(Y) presence. He lay naked all that day and all that night. This is why people say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”(Z)
