1 Samuel 18
1 After David had finished speaking with Saul, the souls of Jonathan and David were knit together, and Jonathan loved him as himself.
Nang matapos siyang makipag-usap kay Saul, ibinigkis ang kaluluwa ni Jonatan sa kaluluwa ni David, at minahal ni Jonatan si David bilang kanyang sariling kaluluwa.
2 And from that day Saul kept David with him and did not let him return to his father’s house.
Kinuha ni Saul si David na maglingkod sa kanya sa araw na iyon; hindi niya siya hinayaang bumalik sa bahay ng kanyang ama.
3 Then Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself.
Pagkatapos gumawa ng pakikipagkaibigang kasunduan sina Jonatan at David dahil minahal siya ni Jonatan na parang kanyang sariling kaluluwa.
4 And Jonathan removed the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his tunic, his sword, his bow, and his belt.
Hinubad ni Jonatan ang kanyang balabal na kanyang isinuot at ibinigay ito kay David kasama nang kanyang sandata, kanyang espada, pana at sinturon.
5 So David marched out and prospered in everything Saul sent him to do, and Saul set him over the men of war. And this was pleasing in the sight of all the people, and of Saul’s officers as well.
Pumupunta si David saan man siya ipadala ni Saul at nagtatagumpay siya. Itinalaga siya ni Saul bilang pinuno sa kalalakihang mandirigma. Nakakalugod ito sa paningin ng lahat ng tao at sa paningin din ng mga lingkod ni Saul.
6 As the troops were returning home after David had killed the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel to meet King Saul with singing and dancing, with joyful songs, and with tambourines and other instruments.
Sa kanilang pag-uwi mula sa pagtalo sa mga Filisteo, pumunta ang mga kababaihang nagmula sa lahat ng lungsod ng Israel, na nag-aawitan at nagsasayawan, para salubungin si Haring Saul, na may tamburin, kagalakan, at mga instrumentong pangmusika.
7 And as the women danced, they sang out: “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.”
Nag-aawitan ang kababaihan habang tumutugtog; inawit nila: “Pinatay ni Saul ang kanyang libu-libo, at si David ang kanyang sampung libo.”
8 And Saul was furious and resented this song. “They have ascribed tens of thousands to David,” he said, “but only thousands to me. What more can he have but the kingdom?”
Galit na galit si Saul at hindi nakalugod sa kanya ang awiting ito. Sinabi niya, “Ipinagpalagay nila kay David ang sampung libo, pero ang ipinagpalagay nila sa akin ay libu-libo lamang. Ano pa ang kanyang makukuha kundi ang kaharian?”
9 And from that day forward Saul kept a jealous eye on David.
At patuloy na minasdan ni Saul si David na may paghihinala mula sa araw na iyon.
10 The next day a spirit of distress sent from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied inside the house while David played the harp as usual. Now Saul was holding a spear,
Kinabukasan sumugod ang mapanirang espiritu kay Saul mula sa Diyos. At nagsisigaw siya sa loob ng bahay. Kaya tumugtog si David ang kaniyang instrumento, gaya ng kanyang ginagawa bawat araw. Hawak ni Saul ang sibat sa kanyang kamay.
11 and he hurled it, thinking, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David eluded him twice.
Inihagis ni Saul ang sibat, sapagkat iniisip niya, “Aking itutusok si David sa dingding.” Ngunit tumakas si David mula sa presensiya ni Saul dalawang ulit sa ganitong paraan.
12 So Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with David but had departed from Saul.
Natakot si Saul kay David, dahil kasama niya si Yahweh, ngunit hindi na kasama ni Saul.
13 Therefore Saul sent David away and gave him command of a thousand men. David led the troops out to battle and back,
Kaya pinaalis siya ni Saul mula sa kanyang presensiya at hinirang siya na isang kumander ng isang libo. Sa ganitong paraan, lumalabas si David at pumupunta sa mga tao.
14 and he continued to prosper in all his ways, because the LORD was with him.
Sumasagana si David sa lahat ng kanyang paraan, sapagkat kasama niya si Yahweh.
15 When Saul saw that David was very successful, he was afraid of him.
Nang makita ni Saul na sumagana siya, tumayo siya nang may pagkamangha sa kanya.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he was leading them out to battle and back.
Pero minahal ng buong Israel at Juda si David dahil lumalabas siya at pumunta sa kanilang harapan.
17 Then Saul said to David, “Here is my older daughter Merab. I will give her to you in marriage. Only be valiant for me and fight the LORD’s battles.” But Saul was thinking, “I need not raise my hand against him; let the hand of the Philistines be against him.”
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Saul kay David, “Narito ang aking panganay na anak na babae, si Merab. Ibibigay ko siya sa iyo bilang asawa. Magpakatapang ka lamang para sa akin at lumaban sa labanan ni Yahweh.” Sapagkat inisip ni Saul, “Huwag hayaang pagbuhatan ko siya ng kamay, ngunit hayaang pagbuhatan siya ng kamay ng mga taga-Filisteo.”
18 And David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my family or my father’s clan in Israel, that I should become the son-in-law of the king?”
Sinabi ni David kay Saul, “Sino ako? At ano ang aking buhay, o pamilya ng aking ama sa Israel, na dapat akong maging manugang ng hari?”
19 So when it was time to give Saul’s daughter Merab to David, she was given in marriage to Adriel of Meholah.
Ngunit sa panahon nang si Merab, ang anak na babae ni Saul, ay dapat ibinigay sana kay David, ibinigay siya bilang asawa kay Adreil na taga-Meholat.
20 Now Saul’s daughter Michal loved David, and when this was reported to Saul, it pleased him.
Pero minahal ni Mical, na anak na babae ni Saul si David. Sinabihan nila si Saul at nakalugod ito sa kanya.
21 “I will give her to David,” Saul thought, “so that she may be a snare to him, and the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David, “For a second time now you can be my son-in-law.”
Pagkatapos inisip ni Saul, “Ibibigay ko siya sa kanya, upang siya'y maging bitag sa kanya, at upang ang kamay ng mga taga-Filisteo ay maging laban sa kanya.” Kaya sinabi ni Saul kay David sa pangalawang pagkakataon, “Ikaw ang aking magiging manugang na lalaki.”
22 Then Saul ordered his servants, “Speak to David privately and tell him, ‘Behold, the king is pleased with you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore, become his son-in-law.’”
Inutusan ni Saul ang kanyang mga lingkod, “Palihim ninyong kausapin si David at sabihin, 'Tingnan mo, kinasisiyahan ka ng hari, at mahal ka ng lahat niyang mga lingkod. Ngayon nga, magiging manugang na lalaki ka ng hari.”'
23 But when Saul’s servants relayed these words to David, he replied, “Does it seem trivial in your sight to be the son-in-law of the king? I am a poor man and lightly esteemed.”
Kaya sinabi ng mga lingkod ni Saul kay David ang mga salitang ito. At sinabi ni David, “Maliit na bagay lang ba sa inyo ang maging manugang ng hari, yamang isa akong dukha, at kaunti ang kabuluhan?”
24 And the servants told Saul what David had said.
Iniulat ng mga lingkod ni Saul ang mga salitang ito na sinabi ni David.
25 Saul replied, “Say to David, ‘The king desires no other dowry but a hundred Philistine foreskins as revenge on his enemies.’” But Saul intended to cause David’s death at the hands of the Philistines.
At sinabi ni Saul, “Ganito ang inyong sasabihin kay David, 'Hindi naghahangad ang hari ng anumang dote, isang daang pinagtulian ng mga Filisteo lamang, upang mapaghigantihan ang mga kaaway ng hari.”' Ngayon iniisip ni Saul na mahulog si David sa kamay ng mga Filisteo.
26 When the servants reported these terms to David, he was pleased to become the king’s son-in-law. Before the wedding day arrived,
Nang sinabi ng mga lingkod ang mga salitang ito kay David, nakalugod ito kay David na maging manugang ng hari.
27 David and his men went out and killed two hundred Philistines. He brought their foreskins and presented them as payment in full to become the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave his daughter Michal to David in marriage.
Bago lumipas ang mga araw na iyon, humayo si David kasama ang kanyang mga tauhan at pumatay ng dalawang daang Filisteo. Dinala ni David ang kanilang pinagtulian, at ibinigay ang mga ito ng buong bilang sa hari, upang maging manugang siya ng hari. Kaya ibinigay ni Saul ang kanyang anak na si Mical sa kanya bilang asawa.
28 When Saul realized that the LORD was with David and that his daughter Michal loved David,
At nakita at nalaman ni Saul na si Yahweh ay kasama ni David. Minahal siya ni Mical, ang anak na babae ni Saul.
29 he grew even more afraid of David. So from then on Saul was David’s enemy.
Mas lalong natakot si Saul kay David. Patuloy na naging kaaway ni Saul si David.
30 Every time the Philistine commanders came out for battle, David was more successful than all of Saul’s officers, so that his name was highly esteemed.
Kaya lumabas ang mga prinsipe ng Filisteo para sa digmaan, at sa tuwing lumalabas sila, nagtatagumpay si David kaysa sa lahat na mga lingkod ni Saul, kaya ang kanyang pangalan ay binigyan ng mataas na paggalang.
