1 Samuel 19
1 Gisultihan ni Saul si Jonatan ang iyang anak nga lalaki ug ang tanan niyang sulugoon nga kinahanglan nilang patyon si David. Apan si Jonatan, ang anak nga lalaki ni Saul, nahimuot pag-ayo kang David.
Now Saul spoke to his son Jonathan, and to all his servants, so that they would kill David. But Jonathan, the son of Saul, loved David very much.
2 Busa gisultihan ni Jonatan si David, “Ang akong amahan nga si Saul nagpangita sa pagpatay kanimo. Busa pagmatngon ugma sa buntag ug tago sa dapit nga dili ka makita.
And Jonathan revealed it to David, saying: “Saul, my father, is seeking to kill you. Because of this, I ask you, take care for yourself in the morning. And you should conceal yourself and remain in hiding.
3 Moadto ako ug motindog tupad sa akong amahan didto sa kaumahan diin atua ka, ug makigsulti ako sa akong amahan mahitungod kanimo. Kung aduna akoy masayran, sultihan ko ikaw.”
Then I, going out, will be standing beside my father in the field, where you will be. And I will speak about you to my father. And whatever I see, I will report to you.”
4 Gidayeg pag-ayo ni Jonatan si David ngadto kang Saul nga iyang amahan ug miingon kaniya, “Ayaw tugoti nga makasala ang hari batok sa iyang sulugoon nga si David. Kay wala siya makasala batok kanimo, ug ang iyang buhat nakahatag ug kaayohan kanimo.
Then Jonathan spoke good things about David to his father Saul. And he said to him: “You should not sin, O king, against your servant David. For he has not sinned against you, and his works toward you are very good.
5 Kay gisugal man niya ang iyang kinabuhi aron sa pagpatay sa mga Filistihanon. Gipadaog gayod ni Yahweh ang tibuok Israel. Nakita mo kini ug nagmaya ka. Nganong magpakasala ka man sa dugo nga walay sala pinaagi sa pagpatay kang David sa walay kapasikaran?”
And he took his life in his own hand, and struck down the Philistine. And the Lord wrought a great salvation for all of Israel. You saw it, and you rejoiced. Why then would you sin against innocent blood by killing David, who is without guilt?”
6 Naminaw si Saul kang Jonatan. Nanumpa si Saul, “Ingon nga buhi si Yahweh, dili gayod siya pagapatyon.”
And when Saul had heard this, being pleased by the voice of Jonathan, he swore, “As the Lord lives, he shall not be killed.”
7 Gitawag ni Jonatan si David, ug gisugilon niya kining tanang butang. Gidala ni Jonatan si David ngadto kang Saul, ug nag-alagad na usab siya kaniya.
And so Jonathan called David, and he revealed to him all of these words. And Jonathan led in David to Saul, and he was before him, just as he had been yesterday and the day before.
8 Ug may gubat na usab. Midasdas si David ug nakig-away sa mga Filistihanon ug nabuntog sila sa daghang pagpamatay. Nangikyas sila sa iyang atubangan.
Then the war was stirred up again. And David went out and fought against the Philistines. And he struck them down with a great slaughter. And they fled from his face.
9 Ang daotang espiritu nga gipadala ni Yahweh mikunsad kang Saul samtang naglingkod siya sulod sa iyang pinuy-anan bitbit ang iyang bangkaw, ug nagtugtog si David sa iyang alpa.
And the evil spirit from the Lord came to Saul, who was sitting in his house and holding a lance. And David was playing music with his hand.
10 Gisulayan ni Saul sa pagbangkaw si David aron ipataop sa bungbong, apan milikay siya kang Saul, busa mitaroy ang bangkaw sa bungbong. Midagan si David ug miikyas nianang gabhiona.
And Saul attempted to fix David to the wall with the lance. But David turned aside from the face of Saul. And the lance failed to wound him, and it became fixed in the wall. And David fled, and so he was saved that night.
11 Nagsugo si Saul ug mga tawo aron sa pagpaniid kang David didto sa iyang balay aron iyang patyon pagkabuntag. Si Mical nga asawa ni David, miingon kaniya, kung dili nimo luwason ang imong kaugalingon karong gabhiona, pagapatyon ka gayod ugma.”
Therefore, Saul sent his guards to David’s house, so that they might watch for him, and so that he might be killed in the morning. And after Michal, his wife, had reported this to David, saying, “Unless you save yourself this night, tomorrow you will die,”
12 Busa gitunton ni Mical si David sa bintana. Milakaw siya, miikyas ug nakagawas.
she lowered him down through a window. Then he fled and went away, and he was saved.
13 Mikuha si Mical ug larawan sa diosdios ug gipahimutang kini sa higdaanan. Unya iyang gibutang ang usa ka unlan nga hinimo sa balahibo sa kanding dapit sa ulo niini, ug gitabonan kini sa mga panapton.
Then Michal took a statue, and placed it on the bed. And she placed the pelt of a goat for the hair at its head. And she covered it with clothes.
14 Sa dihang nagsugo si Saul sa mga tawo aron sa pagkuha kang David, miingon siya, “Nagsakit siya.”
And Saul sent attendants to seize David. And it was answered that he was sick.
15 Unya gipasulod ni Saul ang mga tawo aron tan-awon si David; miingon siya, “Dad-a siya nganhi kanako nga anaa sa higdaanan, aron ako siyang patyon.”
And again, Saul sent messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him to me on the bed, so that he may be killed.”
16 Sa pagsulod sa mga tawo, nakita nga, larawan diay sa diodios ang anaa sa higdaanan nga gipaunlanan sa balahibo sa kanding.
And when the messengers had arrived, they found a likeness on the bed, with a goat pelt at its head.
17 Miingon si Saul kang Mical, “Nganong gilimbongan mo man ako ug gitugotan ang akong kaaway nga makaikyas?” Mitubag si Mical kang Saul, “Miingon siya kanako, 'Tugoti ako nga makaikyas. Kondili patyon ko ikaw?”'
And Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me in this way, and released my enemy, so that he may flee?” And Michal responded to Saul, “Because he said to me, ‘Release me, otherwise I will kill you.’”
18 Karon mikalagiw ug miikyas si David, ug miadto kang Samuel didto sa Rama ug gisuginlan niya siya sa tanan nga gibuhat ni Saul kaniya. Unya nanglakaw si David ug si Samuel ug namuyo sa Naiot.
Now David was saved by fleeing, and he went to Samuel in Ramah. And he reported to him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went away and stayed at Naioth.
19 Adunay nakabalita kang Saul, nga miingon, “Tan-awa, si David atua sa Naiot sa Rama.”
Then it was reported to Saul by some, saying, “Behold, David is at Naioth, in Ramah.”
20 Unya nagpadala si Saul sa mga sinugo aron sa pagdakop kang David. Sa pagkakita nila sa pundok sa mga propeta nga nanagpanagna ug si Samuel nagtindog ingon nga maoy nangulo kanila, ang Espiritu sa Dios mikunsad sa mga sinugo ni Saul, ug nanagna usab sila.
Therefore, Saul sent officers to seize David. And when they had seen a company of prophets prophesying, with Samuel presiding over them, the Spirit of the Lord also came to them, and they also began to prophesy.
21 Sa gisugilon kini kang Saul, nagpadala siya ug laing mga sinugo, ug sila usab nanagpanagna. Busa nagpadala pag-usab si Saul ug mga sinugo sa ikatulong higayon, ug sila usab nanagpanagna.
And when this was reported to Saul, he sent other messengers. But they also prophesied. And again, Saul sent messengers a third time. And they also prophesied. And Saul, being exceedingly angry,
22 Unya siya na gayod ang miadto sa Rama ug nakaabot siya sa lawom nga atabay sa Secu. Nangutana siya, “Hain man sila si Samuel ug si David?” Ang usa ka tawo mitubag, “Atua sila sa Naiot sa Rama.”
also went to Ramah himself. And he went as far as the great cistern, which is in Socoh. And he inquired and said, “In which place are Samuel and David?” And it was told to him, “Behold, they are at Naioth, in Ramah.”
23 Miadto si Saul sa Niaot sa Rama. Ug gikunsaran usab siya sa Espiritu sa Dios, ug samtang naglakaw siya nanagna usab siya, hangtod miabot siya sa Naiot sa dapit sa Rama.
And he went to Naioth, in Ramah, and the Spirit of the Lord came to him also. And he continued on, walking and prophesying, until he arrived at Naioth, in Ramah.
24 Ug siya usab migisi sa iyang mga bisti, ug nanagna usab sa atubangan ni Samuel ug naghigda nga hubo sa tibuok adlaw ug gabii. Tungod niini sila miingon, “Propeta na ba usab diay si Saul?”
And he also took off his garments, and he prophesied with the others before Samuel. And he fell down naked, throughout that day and night. From this, too, is derived the proverb, “Could Saul also be among the prophets?”
