< 1 Samuel 20 >

1 And David went in flight from Naioth in Ramah and came to Jonathan and said, What have I done? What is my crime and my sin against your father that he is attempting to take my life?
Pagkatapos tumakas si David mula Naiot sa Rama at dumating at sinabi kay Jonatan, “Ano ang nagawa ko? Ano ang aking kasamaan? Ano ang kasalanan ko sa harap ng iyong ama, na gustong kunin ang aking buhay?”
2 And he said to him, Far be the thought: you will not be put to death: see, my father does nothing, great or small, without giving me word of it: would he keep this secret from me? It is not so.
Sinabi ni Jonatan kay David, “Malayong mangyari iyon; hindi ka mamamatay. Walang ginawa ang aking ama malaki man o maliit na hindi sinasabi sa akin. Bakit kailangang itago ng aking ama ang bagay na ito mula sa akin? Hindi ganoon.”
3 But David took his oath again and said, Your father sees that I am dear to you; so he says to himself, Let Jonathan have no idea of this, for it will be a grief to him; but as the Lord is living, and as your soul is living, there is only a step between me and death.
Gayunman nangako muli si David at sinabing, “Alam na alam ng iyong ama na nakasumpong ako ng pabor sa iyong paningin. Nasabi niyang, 'Huwag hayaang malaman ito ni Jonatan, o magluluksa siya.' Ngunit tunay nga na habang nabubuhay si Yahweh, at habang nabubuhay ka, may isang hakbang lamang sa pagitan ko at ng kamatayan.”
4 Then Jonathan said to David, Whatever your desire is, I will do it for you.
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Jonatan kay David, Anuman ang sabihin mo, gagawin ko para sa iyo.”
5 And David said to Jonathan, Tomorrow is the new moon, and I will not be seated with the king at his table: but let me go to a safe place in the country till the evening.
Sinabi ni David kay Jonatan, “Bukas ang bagong buwan at kailangan kong umupo para kumain kasama ng hari. Ngunit hayaan mo akong makaalis upang makapagtago ako sa bukirin hanggang sa ikatlong araw nang gabi.
6 And if your father takes note of the fact that I am away, say, David made a request to me for himself that he might go to Beth-lehem, to his town: for it is the time when his family make their offering year by year.
Kung talagang nangungulila ang ama mo sa akin, sa gayon, sabihin mo, 'Taimtim na humingi ng pahintulot na umalis si David sa akin upang makatakbo siya sa Bethlehem na kanyang lungsod; dahil taon ng pag-aalay ngayon doon para sa buong pamliya.'
7 If he says, It is well, your servant will be at peace: but if he is angry, then it will be clear to you that he has an evil purpose in mind against me.
Kung sasabihin niyang, 'Mabuti iyon,' magkakaroon ng kapayapaan ang iyong lingkod. Ngunit kung sobrang galit siya, kung ganoon, nakapagpasiya na siya sa kasamaan.
8 So, then, be kind to your servant; for you have been united with your servant in an agreement made before the Lord: but if there is any wrongdoing in me, put me to death yourself; why take me to your father?
Kaya makitungo ka ng may kabutihan sa iyong lingkod sa tipan ni Yahweh sa iyo. Pero kung may kasalanan ka sa akin, ikaw mismo ang pumatay sa akin; sapagkat bakit mo naman ako dadalhin sa iyong ama?”
9 And Jonathan said, Do not have such a thought: for if I saw that my father was designing evil against you, would I not give you word of it?
Sinabi ni Jonatan, “Malayo nawa ito sa iyo! Kung malalaman kong ipinasya ng aking ama na dumating sa iyo ang kapahamakan, hindi ko ba sasabihin sa iyo?”
10 Then David said to Jonathan, Who will give me word if your father gives you a rough answer?
Pagkatapos sinabi ni David kay Jonatan, “Sino ang magsasabi sa akin kung may pagkakataon na sagutin ka ng iyong ama ng magaspang?”
11 And Jonathan said to David, Come, let us go out into the country. And the two of them went out together into the open country.
Sinabi ni Jonatan kay David, “Halika, magtungo tayo palabas ng bukirin.” At sabay silang lumabas ng bukirin.
12 And Jonathan said to David, May the Lord, the God of Israel, be witness; when I have had a chance of talking to my father, about this time tomorrow, if his feelings to David are good, will I not send and give you the news?
Sinabi ni Jonatan kay David, “Maging saksi nawa si Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israel. Kapag tinanong ko ang aking ama sa mga panahong ito bukas o sa ikatlong araw, kung may magandang kalooban kay David, hindi ko ipapadala at ipaalam ito sa iyo?
13 May the Lord's punishment be on Jonathan, if it is my father's pleasure to do you evil and I do not give you word of it and send you away so that you may go in peace: and may the Lord be with you, as he has been with my father.
Kung makakalugod sa aking ama na saktan ka, gawin nawa ni Yahweh kay Jonatan at mas higit pa din kung hindi ko ipapaalam ito sa iyo at papaalisin kita, upang makahayo ka nang payapa. Sumaiyo nawa si Yahweh, gaya ng kasama niya ang aking ama.
14 And may you, while I am still living, O may you be kind to me, as the Lord is kind, and keep me from death!
Kung buhay pa rin ako, hindi mo ba ipapakita sa akin ang tipan ng katapatan ni Yahweh, upang hindi ako mamatay?
15 And let not your mercy ever be cut off from my family, even when the Lord has sent destruction on all David's haters, cutting them off from the face of the earth.
At huwag mong tuluyang putulin ang iyong tipan ng katapatan mula sa aking bahay, nang dapat pinutol na ni Yahweh ang bawat isa sa mga kalaban ni David mula sa balat ng lupa.”
16 And if it comes about that the name of Jonathan is cut off from the family of David, the Lord will make David responsible.
Kaya gumawa si Jonatan ng isang tipan sa bahay ni David at sinabing, “Mangailangan nawa si Yahweh ng isang pagtatala mula sa kamay ng mga kalaban ni David.”
17 And Jonathan again took an oath to David, because of his love for him: for David was as dear to him as his very soul.
Ipinagawa muli ni Jonatan si David ng pangako dahil sa pagmamahal na mayroon siya sa kanya, dahil minahal niya siya gaya ng pagmamahal niya sa kanyang sariling kaluluwa.
18 Then Jonathan said to him, Tomorrow is the new moon: and it will be seen that you are not present, for there will be no one in your seat.
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Jonatan sa kanya, “Bagong buwan bukas. Hahanapin ka dahil walang uupo sa iyong upuan.
19 And on the third day it will be specially noted, and you will go to the place where you took cover when the other business was in hand, waiting by the hill over there.
Kapag nakapanatili ka na ng tatlong araw, bumaba ng mabilisan at pumunta sa lugar kung saan ka nagtago noong nangyari ang usapin at manatili sa may bato ng Ezel.
20 And on the third day I will send arrows from my bow against its side as if at a mark.
Papana ako ng tatlong palaso sa gilid nito, na para bang pumapana ako sa isang patamaan.
21 And I will send my boy to have a look for the arrow. And if I say to him, See, the arrow is on this side of you; take it up! then you may come; for there is peace for you and no evil, by the living Lord.
At ipapadala ko ang aking binata at sabihin sa kanyang, 'Humayo kayo at hanapin ang mga palaso.' Kung sasabihin ko sa binatang, 'Tingnan ninyo, nasa gilid mo ang mga palaso; kunin ang mga ito,” pagkatapos pumarito kayo; dahil magkakaroon ng kaligtasan para sa iyo at hindi kapahamakan, habang nabubuhay si Yahweh.
22 But if I say to the boy, See, the arrow has gone past you: then go on your way, for the Lord has sent you away.
Ngunit kung sasabihin ko sa binatang, 'Tingnan mo, nasa likod mo ang mga palaso,' kung ganoon humayo sa iyong pupuntahan, dahil pinaalis ka ni Yahweh.
23 As for what you and I were talking of, the Lord is between you and me for ever.
Para naman sa usapang nagsalita ka at ako, tingnan mo, nasa pagitan natin si Yahweh magpakailanman.”'
24 So David went to a secret place in the country: and when the new moon came, the king took his place at the feast.
Kaya itinago ni David ang kanyang sarili sa bukirin. Noong dumating ang bagong buwan, umupo ang hari para kumain ng pagkain.
25 And the king took his seat, as at other times, by the wall: and Jonathan was in front, and Abner was seated by Saul's side, but there was no one in David's seat.
Umupo ang hari sa kanyang upuan, gaya ng dati, sa upuan sa may pader. Tumayo si Jonatan at umupo si Abner sa tabi ni Saul. Ngunit walang nakaupo sa lugar ni David.
26 But Saul said nothing that day, for his thought was, Something has taken place making him unclean; it is clear that he is not clean.
Gayunman walang sinabing anumang bagay si Saul sa araw na iyon dahil inisip niyang, “May nangyari sa kanya. Hindi siya malinis; tiyak na hindi siya malinis.”
27 And on the day after the new moon, that is, the second day, there was still no one in David's seat: and Saul said to his son Jonathan, Why has the son of Jesse not come to the feast yesterday or today?
Ngunit sa ikalawang araw, ang araw matapos ang bagong buwan, walang nakaupo sa upuan ni David. Sinabi ni Saul sa kanyang anak na lalaking si Jonatan, “Bakit hindi dumating sa kainan ang anak na lalaki ni Jesse, maging kahapon o ngayon?”
28 And answering Saul, Jonathan said, He made a request to me that he might go to Beth-lehem,
Sumagot si Jonatan kay Saul, “taimtim na humingi ng pahintulot si David mula sa akin na makapunta sa Bethlehem.
29 Saying, Our family is making an offering in the town, and my brothers have given me orders to be there: so now, if I have grace in your eyes, let me go away and see my brothers. This is why he has not come to the king's table.
Sinabi niya, 'Pakiusap hayaan akong makaalis. Dahil may pag-aalay ang aming pamilya sa lungsod at inutusan ako ng aking kapatid na lalaki na pumaroon. Ngayon, kung nakasumpong ako ng pabor sa iyong paningin, pakiusap hayaan akong makaalis at makita ang aking mga kapatid na lalaki.' Sa kadahilanang ito hindi siya pumunta sa mesa ng hari.”
30 Then Saul was moved to wrath against Jonathan, and he said to him, You son of an evil and uncontrolled woman, have I not seen how you have given your love to the son of Jesse, to your shame and the shame of your mother?
Pagkatapos nag-alab ang galit ni Saul laban kay Jonatan at sinabi niya sa kanya, “Ikaw na anak ng isang tampalasan, suwail na babae! Hindi ko ba alam na pinili mo ang anak na lalaki ni Jesse sa sarili mong kahihiyan at sa kahihiyan ng kahubaran ng iyong ina?
31 For while the son of Jesse is living on the earth, your position is unsafe and your kingdom is in danger. So make him come here to me, for it is certainly right for him to be put to death.
Dahil habang nabubuhay sa mundo ang anak na lalaki ni Jesse, hindi ikaw ni ang iyong kaharian ang maitatatag. Ngayon, ipadala mo siya at dalhin mo siya sa akin sapagkat tiyak na dapat siyang mamatay.”
32 And Jonathan, answering his father Saul, said to him, Why is he to be put to death? What has he done?
Sinagot ni Jonatan si Saul na kanyang ama, “Sa anong kadahilanan dapat siyang ipapatay? Ano ang kanyang nagawa?”
33 And Saul, pointing his spear at him, made an attempt to give him a wound: from which it was clear to Jonathan that his father's purpose was to put David to death.
Pagkatapos hinagis ni Saul ang kanyang sibat upang patayin siya. Kaya alam ni Jonatan na gustong-gustong ipapatay ng kanyang ama si David.
34 So Jonathan got up from the table, burning with wrath, and took no part in the feast the second day of the month, being full of grief for David because his father had put shame on him.
Tumayo si Jonatan sa mesa na sobrang galit at hindi kumain ng pagkain sa ikalawang araw ng buwan dahil nagluksa siya para kay David dahil hindi siya ginalang ng kanyang ama.
35 Now in the morning, Jonathan went out into the fields at the time he had said to David, and he had a little boy with him.
Kinaumagahan, lumabas si Jonatan papunta sa bukirin sa tipanan kay David at isang binata ang kasama niya.
36 And he said to the boy, Go and get the arrow I let loose from my bow. And while the boy was running, he sent an arrow past him.
Sinabi niya sa kanyang binata, “Tumakbo ka at hanapin ang mga palasong ipinana ko.” At sa pagtakbo ng binata, pumana siya ng isang palaso sa unahan niya.
37 And when the boy came to the place where the arrow was, Jonathan, crying out after the boy, said, Has it not gone past you?
Nang dumating ang binata sa lugar kung saan nahulog ang palaso na pinana ni Jonatan, tinawag ni Jonatan ang binata at sinabing, “Hindi ba nasa unahan mo ang palaso?”
38 And Jonathan went on crying out after the boy, Be quick, do not keep waiting about, go quickly. And Jonathan's boy got the arrow and came back to his master.
At tinawag ni Jonatan ang binata, “Magmadali ka, bilisan mo, huwag kang tumigil!” Kaya tinipon ng binata ni Jonatan ang mga palaso at pumunta sa kanyang panginoon.
39 But the boy had no idea what was going on; only Jonathan and David had knowledge of it.
Ngunit walang alam ang binata sa anumang bagay. Tanging sina Jonatan at David ang nakakaalam ng bagay.
40 And Jonathan gave his bow and arrows to the boy, and said to him, Take these and go back to the town.
Binigay ni Jonatan ang kanyang mga sandata sa kanyang binata at sinabi sa kanyang, “Humayo ka, dalhin ang mga ito sa lungsod.”
41 And when the boy had gone, David came from his secret place by the hill, and falling to the earth went down on his face three times: and they gave one another a kiss, weeping together, till David's grief was the greater.
Pagkaalis na pagkaalis ng binata, tumayo si David mula sa likod ng isang tambak ng lupa, nagpatirapa sa lupa at yumuko ng tatlong beses. Hinalikan nila ang isa't-isa at magkasamang umiyak, na si David ang mas malakas ang pag-iyak.
42 And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, for we two have taken an oath, in the name of the Lord, saying, The Lord will be between me and you, and between my seed and your seed for ever. Then David went away, and Jonathan went into the town.
Sinabi ni Jonatan kay David, “Humayo ka ng payapa, dahil pareho tayong nangako sa pangalan ni Yahweh at sinabing, 'Pumagitna nawa si Yahweh sa iyo at sa akin at sa pagitan ng aking mga kaapu-apuhan at iyong mga kaapu-apuhan, magpakailanman.'” Pagkatapos tumayo si David at umalis at bumalik si Jonatan sa lungsod.
