1 Los hombres de Zif volvieron ante Saúl en Guibeá y le informaron que David estaba escondido en la colina de Jaquilá al este del 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 Saúl tomó tres mil de sus mejores hombres y fue en su persecución,
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 y acampó junto al camino que bordea el desierto donde David estaba escondido.
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 Pero David supo de la llegada de Saúl y envió hombres a observar sus movimientos.
4 David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul had certainly come.
5 Una noche, David fue silenciosamente hasta el campamento de Saúl. El rey Saúl y el general Abner dormían rodeados por los soldados. ―¿Algún voluntario quiere ir conmigo? —preguntó David a Ajimélec, el hitita, y a Abisay, hermano de Joab e hijo de Sarvia. ―Yo iré contigo —respondió Abisay. David y Abisay, pues, fueron al campamento de Saúl y lo encontraron dormido, con la lanza clavada en el suelo, junto a su cabeza.
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 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 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 ―Dios ha vuelto a poner a tu enemigo en tus manos —susurró Abisay—. Déjame que lo atraviese con su lanza. Lo clavaré en tierra con ella y 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 ―No —dijo David—, porque nadie puede quedar impune si ataca al ungido del Señor.
9 David said to Abishai, “Don’t destroy him, for who can stretch out his hand against Yahweh’s anointed, and be guiltless?”
10 Dios le dará muerte algún día, o morirá en una batalla o de vejez.
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 Pero Dios me libre de matar al hombre que él ha escogido como rey. Pero mira, llevémonos su lanza y su cántaro.
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 cántaro de agua, y salió sin que nadie los viera, porque el Señor los había hecho dormirse profundamente.
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 Pasaron al lado opuesto. Cuando estuvieron en la cima de la montaña, a una distancia prudente,
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 David gritó a Abner y a Saúl: ―¡Despierta, Abner! ―¿Quién es? —preguntó Abner—. ¿Quién se atreve a gritarle 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 ―¡Vaya, vaya, Abner! ¡Eres un gran hombre! —bromeó David—. ¿Dónde en Israel podrá encontrarse a uno tan bueno como tú? Ah, pero no has cuidado bien a tu amo el rey. ¡Alguien se acercó a matarlo!
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 Eso no es bueno, Abner. Juro por el Señor que debieras morir por tu falta de cuidado. A ver, ¿dónde está la lanza del rey y el cántaro de agua que estaba junto a su cabeza? Búscalos.
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 dijo: ―¿Eres tú, hijo mío, David? Y David respondió: ―Sí, señor, soy yo.
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 ¿Por qué me persigues? ¿Qué he hecho? ¿Cuál es mi delito?
18 He said, “Why does my lord pursue his servant? For what have I done? What evil is in my hand?
19 Si es el Señor el que te ha incitado en mi contra, que acepte mi ofrenda de paz. Pero si son hombres los que lo han hecho, que el Señor los maldiga, porque se me ha sacado de mi hogar para que, en vez de estar con el pueblo del Señor, me encuentre lejos donde adoran a dioses paganos.
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 ¿Debo morir en tierra ajena, lejos de la presencia del Señor? ¿Por qué el rey de Israel sale en busca de mi vida como quien persigue una perdiz en los montes?
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 ―He hecho mal —exclamó Saúl—. Regresa, hijo mío, y no trataré más de dañarte. Tú me has perdonado la vida hoy. He sido un necio y he actuado mal, muy mal.
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 ―Aquí está tu lanza, señor —contestó David—. Que venga uno de tus hombres a buscarla.
22 David answered, “Behold the spear, O king! Let one of the young men come over and get it.
23 Que el Señor dé a cada uno su recompensa por hacer el bien y por ser leal, pues yo me negué a matarte aun cuando el Señor te entregó en mis manos.
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 Ahora, que el Señor salve mi vida, así como yo he salvado la tuya hoy. Que él me salve de toda aflicción.
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 Y Saúl le dijo a David: ―Que Dios te bendiga, hijo mío, David. Harás proezas grandes, y serás un gran vencedor. Entonces David se marchó y Saúl regresó a su casa.
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.
