1 Samuel 19
1 Ug si Saul misulti kang Jonathan nga ang iyang anak nga lalake, ug sa tanan niyang mga sulogoon, nga ilang patyon si David. Apan si Jonathan, ang anak nga lalake ni Saul nagamalipayon sa hilabihan kang David.
Then Saul urged all his servants and his son Jonathan to kill David. But Jonathan liked David very much.
2 Ug si Jonathan nagsugilon kang David, nga nagaingon: Si Saul nga akong amahan nagapangita sa pagpatay kanimo: busa karon, ako nagahangyo kanimo, magbantay ka sa imong kaugalingon sa pagkabuntag, ug pumuyo ka sa usa ka tago nga dapit, ug tumago ka sa imong kaugalingon.
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 Ug mogula ako ug motindog tupad sa akong amahan sa kapatagan diin atua ikaw, ug makigsulti ako uban sa akong amahan mahitungod kanimo; ug kong unsay akong makita, akong isugilon kanimo.
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 Ug si Jonathan misulti kang Saul nga iyang amahan ug maayo, mahitungod kang David, ug miingon kaniya: Ayaw pag-itugot nga magpakasala ang hari batok sa iyang alagad, batok kang David; tungod kay siya wala makasala batok kanimo, ug tungod kay ang iyang buhat mga maayo kaayo 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 gibutang niya ang iyang kinabuhi sa iyang kamot, ug gipatay ang Filistehanon, ug si Jehova naghimo ug usa ka dakung pagdaug alang sa tibook nga Israel: ikaw nakakita niana, ug nalipay; ngano man nga magapakasala ka batok sa dugo nga walay sala, sa pagpatay kang David sa walay gipasikaran?
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 Ug si Saul namati sa tingog ni Jonathan; ug si Saul nanumpa: Ingon nga si Jehova buhi, siya dili 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 Ug gitawag ni Jonathan si David, ug gipakita kaniya kining tanang mga butang ni Jonathan. Ug si Jonathan nagdala kang David ngadto kang Saul, ug didto siya sa iyang atubangan, ingon sa unang panahon.
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: ug si David migula, ug nakig-away sa mga Filistehanon, ug gipamatay sila sa usa ka dakung pagpamatay; ug nangalagiw sila gikan 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 Ug ang usa ka dautang espiritu gikan kang Jehova diha kang Saul, samtang siya nagalingkod sa iyang balay uban sa iyang bangkaw diha sa iyang kamot; ug si David nagakablit sa alpa uban sa iyang kamot.
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 Ug si Saul nangita sa pagbuno kang David bisan ngadto sa bongbong sa iyang bangkaw; apan siya milihay gikan sa atubangan ni Saul, ug iyang gibangkaw ang iyang bangkaw ngadto sa bongbong: ug si David mikalagiw ug nakagawas niadtong 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 Ug si Saul nagpasugo ug mga sulogoon ngadto sa balay ni David, aron sa pagpabantay kaniya, ug sa pagpapatay kaniya sa pagkabuntag: ug si Michal, ang asawa ni David, nagsugilon kaniya, nga nagaingon: Kong ang imong kinabuhi dili mo luwason karong gabhiona, ugma ikaw pagapatyon.
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 gitonton ni Michal si David sa tamboanan: ug siya milakaw, ug mikalagiw, ug nakagawas.
So she enabled David to climb out through a window, and he ran away and escaped.
13 Ug gikuha ni Michal ang larawan, ug gibutang kini sa higdaanan, ug gibutangan ug usa ka unlan sa balhibo sa kanding ang dapit sa ulo, ug gitabunan 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 Ug sa diha nga si Saul napasugo ug mga sulogoon aron sa pagkuha kang David, siya miingon: Siya nagadaut.
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 Ug gisugo ni Saul ang mga sulogoon sa pagpatan-aw kang David, nga nagaingon; 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 Ug sa diha nga mingsulod na ang mga sulogoon, ania karon, ang larawan diha sa higdaanan, uban ang unlan nga balhibo sa kanding dapit sa ulo niana.
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 Ug si Saul miingon kang Michal: Ngano nga naglimbong ka kanako sa ingon niana, ug nagpalakaw sa akong kaaway, mao nga siya nakagawas? Ug si Michal mitubag kang Saul: Siya miingon kanako: Palakta ako; nganong mopatay ako kanimo?
[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 si David mikalagiw, ug nakagawas, ug miadto kang Samuel sa Rama, ug nagsugilon kaniya sa tanang gihimo kaniya ni Saul. Ug siya ug si Samuel nangadto ug mingpuyo sa Najoth.
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 Ug kini gisugilon kang Saul, nga nagaingon: Ania karon, si David atua sa Najoth sa Rama.
Someone told Saul that David was in Naioth.
20 Ug si Saul nagpadala ug mga sulogoon aron sa pagpakuha kang David: ug sa pagkakita nila sa panon sa mga manalagna nga nanagpanagna, ug si Samuel didto ingon nga ilang pangulo, ang Espiritu sa Dios miabut sa ibabaw sa mga sulogoon ni Saul, ug sila usab nanagpanagna.
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 Ug sa gisugilon kini kang Saul, nagpadala siya ug laing mga sulogoon, ug sila usab nanagpanagna. Ug si Saul nagpadala pag-usab sa ikatolo, ug sila nagpanagna usab.
When Saul heard about that, he sent messengers a third time, but they also started to speak ecstatically.
22 Unya miadto na usab siya sa Rama, ug nahiabut sa dakung atabay nga diha sa Socho: ug siya nangutana ug miingon: Hain ba si Samuel ug si David? Ug ang usa miingon: Ania karon, sila atua sa Najoth 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 Ug siya miadto sa Najoth sa Rama: ug ang Espiritu sa Dios miabut usab kaniya, ug nagpadayon siya, ug nagpanagna hangtud nga siya miabut didto sa Najoth 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 iya usab nga gihubo ang iyang saput, ug siya usab nagpanagna sa atubangan ni Samuel, ug naghigda nga hubo niadtong tibook nga gabii. Maoy hinungdan nga sila miingon: Si Saul usab ipon ba sa mga manalagna?
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]
