1 Los hombres de Zif fueron a ver a Saúl en Guibeá y le dijeron: David está escondido en la colina de Haquila, frente al desierto.
1 The Ziphites came to Saul to Gibeah, saying, “Doesn’t David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert?”
2 Entonces Saúl bajó al desierto de Zif con tres mil de los mejores hombres de Israel para buscar a David.
2 Then Saul arose and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
3 Saúl acampó en la colina de Haquila, junto al camino, frente al desierto. David estaba en el desierto y supo que Saúl había venido tras él.
3 Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert, by the way. But David stayed in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
4 David envió espías y confirmó que Saúl había llegado.
4 David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul had certainly come.
5 Entonces David fue al lugar donde Saúl estaba acampado. Vio dónde dormían Saúl y Abner, hijo de Ner, jefe de su ejército. Saúl dormía dentro del campamento y el pueblo estaba alrededor de él.
5 Then David arose and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David saw the place where Saul lay, with Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his army. Saul lay within the place of the wagons, and the people were encamped around him.
6 David preguntó a Ahimelec el hitita y a Abisai, hijo de Sarvia y hermano de Joab: ¿Quién bajará conmigo al campamento de Saúl? Abisai respondió: Yo bajaré contigo.
6 Then David answered and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, saying, “Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp?” Abishai said, “I will go down with you.”
7 David y Abisai entraron de noche en el campamento. Saúl dormía con su lanza clavada en tierra junto a su cabeza, y Abner y los demás dormían alrededor.
7 So David and Abishai came to the people by night; and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the place of the wagons, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people lay around him.
8 Abisai dijo a David: Hoy Dios ha entregado a tu enemigo en tus manos. Déjame clavarlo en tierra con un solo golpe de su propia lanza. No necesitaré darle un segundo golpe.
8 Then Abishai said to David, “God has delivered up your enemy into your hand today. Now therefore please let me strike him with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not strike him the second time.”
9 Pero David dijo a Abisai: No lo mates. ¿Quién puede levantar su mano contra el ungido del Señor y quedar sin culpa?
9 David said to Abishai, “Don’t destroy him, for who can stretch out his hand against Yahweh’s anointed, and be guiltless?”
10 David añadió: Tan cierto como que vive el Señor, el Señor mismo hará que muera. Llegará el día de su muerte, o irá a la batalla y morirá allí.
10 David said, “As Yahweh lives, Yahweh will strike him; or his day shall come to die, or he shall go down into battle and perish.
11 Que el Señor me libre de levantar mi mano contra el ungido del Señor. Toma la lanza que está junto a su cabeza y el recipiente de agua, y vámonos.
11 Yahweh forbid that I should stretch out my hand against Yahweh’s anointed; but now please take the spear that is at his head and the jar of water, and let’s go.”
12 David tomó la lanza y el recipiente de agua que estaban junto a la cabeza de Saúl, y se fueron. Nadie los vio, nadie se dio cuenta y nadie despertó, porque el Señor había hecho caer sobre todos un sueño profundo.
12 So David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul’s head, and they went away. No man saw it, or knew it, nor did any awake; for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from Yahweh had fallen on them.
13 David cruzó al otro lado y se puso en la cima de una montaña a cierta distancia. Había un gran espacio entre ellos.
13 Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of the mountain far away, a great space being between them;
14 Entonces gritó al pueblo y a Abner, hijo de Ner: ¡Abner! ¿No vas a responder? Abner respondió: ¿Quién eres tú que gritas al rey?
14 and David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, “Don’t you answer, Abner?” Then Abner answered, “Who are you who calls to the king?”
15 David dijo a Abner: ¿No eres un gran guerrero? ¿Hay otro como tú en Israel? Entonces, ¿por qué no protegiste a tu señor el rey? Uno del pueblo entró para matar al rey, tu señor.
15 David said to Abner, “Aren’t you a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your lord the king? For one of the people came in to destroy your lord the king.
16 No has hecho bien. Tan cierto como que vive el Señor, merecen morir porque no protegieron a su señor, el ungido del Señor. Mira ahora. ¿Dónde están la lanza del rey y el recipiente de agua que estaban junto a su cabeza?
16 This thing isn’t good that you have done. As Yahweh lives, you are worthy to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, Yahweh’s anointed. Now see where the king’s spear is, and the jar of water that was at his head.”
17 Saúl reconoció la voz de David y preguntó: ¿Es esa tu voz, David, hijo mío? David respondió: Sí, es mi voz, mi señor y rey.
17 Saul recognized David’s voice, and said, “Is this your voice, my son David?” David said, “It is my voice, my lord, O king.”
18 Luego dijo: ¿Por qué mi señor persigue a su siervo? ¿Qué he hecho? ¿Qué maldad hay en mí?
18 He said, “Why does my lord pursue his servant? For what have I done? What evil is in my hand?
19 Ahora, por favor, escucha las palabras de tu siervo. Si es el Señor quien te mueve contra mí, que acepte una ofrenda. Pero si son hombres quienes te han puesto contra mí, que sean malditos delante del Señor, porque hoy me han expulsado de la herencia del Señor, como si me dijeran: Ve y sirve a otros dioses.
19 Now therefore, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is so that Yahweh has stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering. But if it is the children of men, they are cursed before Yahweh; for they have driven me out today that I shouldn’t cling to Yahweh’s inheritance, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods!’
20 No permitas que mi sangre caiga a tierra lejos de la presencia del Señor. El rey de Israel ha salido para buscarme como quien caza pájaros en las montañas.
20 Now therefore, don’t let my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of Yahweh; for the king of Israel has come out to seek a flea, as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains.”
21 Saúl dijo: He pecado. Regresa, David, hijo mío. No volveré a hacerte daño, porque hoy has considerado preciosa mi vida. He actuado como un necio y he cometido un gran error.
21 Then Saul said, “I have sinned. Return, my son David; for I will no more do you harm, because my life was precious in your eyes today. Behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.”
22 David respondió: Aquí está la lanza del rey. Que uno de los jóvenes venga a recogerla.
22 David answered, “Behold the spear, O king! Let one of the young men come over and get it.
23 El Señor recompensará a cada uno por su justicia y fidelidad. Hoy el Señor te entregó en mis manos, pero yo no quise levantar mi mano contra el ungido del Señor.
23 Yahweh will give to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; because Yahweh delivered you into my hand today, and I wouldn’t stretch out my hand against Yahweh’s anointed.
24 Así como hoy consideré preciosa tu vida, que el Señor considere preciosa la mía y me libre de toda dificultad.
24 Behold, as your life was respected today in my eyes, so let my life be respected in Yahweh’s eyes, and let him deliver me out of all oppression.”
25 Saúl dijo a David: Bendito seas, David, hijo mío. Harás grandes cosas y ciertamente tendrás éxito. Entonces David siguió su camino y Saúl regresó a su lugar.
25 Then Saul said to David, “You are blessed, my son David. You will both do mightily, and will surely prevail.” So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.
