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.
Then Saul urged all his servants and his son Jonathan to kill David. But Jonathan liked 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.
So he warned David, “My father Saul is seeking for a way to kill you. So be careful. Tomorrow morning go and find a place to hide [in the field].
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.”
I will ask my father to go out there with me. [While we are out there], I will talk to him about you. Then I will tell you everything that he tells me.” [So David did what Jonathan told him to do].
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.
[The next morning], Jonathan spoke with his father, saying many good things about David. He said, “You should never do anything to harm your servant David! He has never done anything to harm you! Everything that he has done has helped you very much.
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?”
He was in danger of being killed when he fought against [Goliath, the champion of] the Philistia [army. By enabling David to kill him], Yahweh won a great victory for all the people of Israel. You were very happy when you saw that. Why would you want to do anything now to harm David [RHQ]? There is no reason for you to kill him, because he has not done anything wrong!”
6 Naminaw si Saul kang Jonatan. Nanumpa si Saul, “Ingon nga buhi si Yahweh, dili gayod siya pagapatyon.”
Saul listened to what Jonathan said. Then Saul said, “I solemnly promise that just as certain as Yahweh lives, I will not kill David.”
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.
Afterward, Jonathan summoned David and told him what he and Saul had said. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and David served Saul as he had done 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.
One day a war started again, and David [led his soldiers to] fight against the Philistia army. David’s [army] attacked them very furiously, with the result that the Philistia army ran away.
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.
But one day when sitting in his house, an evil spirit [sent] from Yahweh [suddenly] came upon Saul. While David was playing his harp [for Saul],
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.
Saul hurled his spear at David to try to fasten him to the wall. David (dodged/jumped to one side), and the spear did not hit him. The spear stuck in the wall, but that night David escaped.
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.”
Then Saul sent messengers to David’s house. He told them to watch the house and to kill David [while he was leaving the house] the following morning. But David’s wife Michal [saw them and] warned him, “To survive, you must run away tonight, because if you do not do that, you will be killed tomorrow!”
12 Busa gitunton ni Mical si David sa bintana. Milakaw siya, miikyas ug nakagawas.
So she enabled David to climb out through a window, and he ran away and escaped.
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 an idol and put it in the bed. She covered it with some [of David’s] clothes, and put some goat’s hair on the head of the idol.
14 Sa dihang nagsugo si Saul sa mga tawo aron sa pagkuha kang David, miingon siya, “Nagsakit siya.”
When the messengers came [to the house the next morning], she told them that David was sick [and could not get out of bed].
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.”
[When they reported that to] Saul, he told them to go back to David’s house. He said to them, “Bring him to me lying on his bed, in order that I can kill him!”
16 Sa pagsulod sa mga tawo, nakita nga, larawan diay sa diodios ang anaa sa higdaanan nga gipaunlanan sa balahibo sa kanding.
But when those men entered David’s house, they saw that there was only an idol in the bed, with goat’s hair on 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?”'
[When they reported that to Saul, ] Saul [summoned] Michal [and] said to her, “Why did you trick me like that? You allowed my enemy to escape!” Michal replied to Saul, “David told me that if I did not help him escape, he would kill me!” [RHQ]
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.
After David had escaped from Saul, he went to Samuel, who was [at his home] at Ramah. He told Samuel everything that Saul had done to [try to kill] him. Then David and Samuel went to Naioth, [which was a section] of [Ramah city], and they stayed there.
19 Adunay nakabalita kang Saul, nga miingon, “Tan-awa, si David atua sa Naiot sa Rama.”
Someone told Saul that David was in Naioth.
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.
So Saul sent some messengers to capture David. [When] those messengers [arrived in Ramah, they] met some men who were proclaiming ecstatic messages, and Samuel was there, as their leader. When Saul’s messengers met them, the Spirit of God took control of Saul’s men, and they also spoke ecstatically.
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.
When Saul heard about that, he sent messengers a third time, but they also started to speak ecstatically.
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.”
Finally, Saul himself went to Ramah. When he arrived at the well at [a place named] Secu, he asked people there, “Where are Samuel and David?” The people replied, “They are at Naioth in Ramah [city].”
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.
While Saul was walking toward Naioth, the Spirit of God also took control of him. [While he walked on], he continued speaking ecstatic messages until he came to Naioth.
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?”
There he took off his clothes, and he spoke messages from God in front of Samuel. He lay on the ground doing that all day and all night. That is the reason that [when people see someone doing something that is very unexpected, they think about what happened to Saul, and] they say, “We are surprised, like the people were surprised to see Saul [acting like] a prophet?” [RHQ]
