< 1 Samuel 22 >
1 So David went away from there and took cover in a strong place at Adullam; and his brothers and all his father's people, hearing of it, went down to him there.
Kaya umalis si David doon at tumakas papunta sa kuweba ng Adulam. Nang marinig ito ng kanyang mga kapatid na lalaki at lahat ng nasa bahay ng kanyang ama, bumaba sila roon sa kanya.
2 And everyone who was in trouble, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was bitter in soul, came together to him, and he became captain over them: about four hundred men were joined to him.
Ang bawat isang naghihirap, bawat isang may nasa pagkakautang, at bawat isang hindi kuntento—nagtipon silang lahat sa kanya. Naging kapitan si David sa kanila. Mayroong halos apat na raang kalalakihang kasama niya.
3 And from there David went to Mizpeh in the land of Moab: and he said to the king of Moab, Let my father and mother come and make their living-place with you till it is clear to me what God will do for me.
Pagkatapos pumunta si David mula roon patungo sa Mizpe sa Moab. Sinabi niya sa hari ng Moab, “Pakiusap hayaan mo ang aking ama at aking inang lumabas kasama mo hanggang sa malaman ko kung ano ang gagawin ng Diyos para sa akin.”
4 And he took them to the king of Moab and they went on living with him while David was in his safe place.
Iniwan niya sila kasama ang hari ng Moab. Nanatili ang kanyang ama at ina na kasama niya sa buong panahon na nasa kanyang malakas na tanggulan si David.
5 And the prophet Gad said to David, Do not go on living in this place but go into the land of Judah. Then David went away and came to the woodland of Hereth.
Pagkatapos sinabi ng propetang Gad kay David, “Huwag manatili sa iyong malakas na tanggulan. Umalis ka at pumunta sa lupain ng Juda.” Kaya umalis doon si David at pumunta sa kagubatan ng Heret.
6 And news was given to Saul that David had been seen, and the men who were with him: now Saul was in Gibeah, seated under the tree in the high place, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were in their places before him.
Narinig ni Saul na natagpuan na si David, kasama ang mga lalaking kasama niya. Ngayon nakaupo si Saul sa Gibea sa ilalim ng puno ng tamariska sa Rama na may sibat sa kanyang kamay at nakatayo ang lahat ng kanyang mga lingkod sa paligid niya.
7 Then Saul said to his servants who were there about him, Give ear now, you Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give to every one of you fields and vine-gardens, will he make you all captains of hundreds and captains of thousands;
Sinabi ni Saul sa kanyang mga lingkod na nakatayo sa paligid niya, “Makinig kayo ngayon, bayan ng Benjamin! Makakapagbigay ba ang bawat isa sa inyong anak na lalaki ni Jesse ng mga bukirin at mga ubasan? Magagawa ba niyang gawin kayong lahat na mga kapitan ng libo-libo at kapitan ng daan-daan,
8 That all of you have made designs against me, and not one of you gave me word when my son made an agreement with the son of Jesse, and not one of you has pity for me or has made my eyes open to the fact that my servant has been moved by my son against me, as at this day?
kapalit ninyong lahat na nagbabalak ng masama laban sa akin? Wala sa inyo ang nagbalita sa akin nang gumawa ng tipan ang anak kong lalaki sa anak na lalaki ni Jesse. Wala sa inyo ang nalulungkot para sa akin. Wala sa inyo ang nagbalita sa akin na inudyukan ng aking anak ang aking lingkod na si David laban sa akin. Ngayon nagtatago siya at naghihintay para sa akin para masalakay niya ako.”
9 Then Doeg, the Edomite, who was by the side of the servants of Saul, in answer said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub.
Pagkatapos si Doeg na taga-Edom ay tumayo sa tabi ng mga lingkod ni Saul, sumagot siya, “Nakita ko ang anak na lalaki ni Jesse na pumunta sa Nob kay Ahimelec na anak na lalaki ni Ahitub.
10 And he got directions from the Lord for him, and gave him food, and put in his hand the sword of Goliath the Philistine.
Nanalangin siya kay Yahweh na tulungan niya siya at binigyan niya siya ng mga pangangailangan at ang espada ni Goliat na Filisteo.”
11 Then the king sent for Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and for all the men of his father's family who were priests in Nob: and they all came to the king.
Pagkatapos nagpadala ang hari ng isang tao upang ipatawag ang paring si Ahimelec anak na lalaki ni Ahitub at ng buong sambahayan ng kanyang ama, ang mga paring nasa Nob. Lahat sila ay nagtungo sa hari.
12 And Saul said, Give ear now, O son of Ahitub. And answering he said, Here I am, my lord.
Sinabi ni Saul, “Makinig ka ngayon, anak na lalaki ni Ahitub.” Sumagot siya, “Narito ako, aking panginoon.”
13 And Saul said to him, Why have you made designs against me with the son of Jesse, giving him food and a sword and getting directions from the Lord for him, and helping him to take up arms against me, and to be on the watch to make a secret attack on me as he is doing now?
Sinabi ni Saul sa kanya, “Bakit ka nagtangka laban sa akin, ikaw at ang anak na lalaki ni Jesse, sa ginawa mong pagbibigay sa kanya ng tinapay at isang espada at nanalangin sa Diyos na tulungan nawa siya para lumaban sa akin para magtago sa lihim gaya ng ginawa niya ngayon?”
14 Then Ahimelech answering said to the king, Who among all your servants is so true to you as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and is a captain of your armed men, and has a place of honour in your house?
Pagkatapos sumagot si Ahimelec sa hari at sinabing, “Sino sa inyong lahat na mga lingkod ang pinakamatapat gaya ni David na manugang ng hari at nasa ibabaw ng iyong mga bantay at pinararangalan sa inyong bahay?
15 Is this the first time I have got directions from God for him? Far be the thought! let the king make no such statement against his servant or my father's family, for your servant has no knowledge, great or small, of this thing.
Ito ba ang unang pagkakataon na nanalangin ako sa Diyos upang tulungan siya? Malayo nawa ito mula sa akin! Huwag ninyo hayaan ang haring magpasa ng kahit anong bagay sa kanyang lingkod o sa lahat ng nasa bahay ng aking ama. Sapagkat walang alam ang iyong lingkod sa mga bagay na ito.”
16 And the king said, You will certainly be put to death, Ahimelech, you and all your father's family.
Sumagot ang hari, “Tiyak na mamamatay ka, Ahimelec, ikaw at ang buong bahay ng iyong ama.”
17 Then the king said to the runners who were waiting near him, Put the priests of the Lord to death; because they are on David's side, and having knowledge of his flight, did not give me word of it. But the king's servants would not put out their hands to make an attack on the Lord's priests.
Sinabi ng hari sa bantay na nakatayo sa paligid niya, “Bumalik kayo at patayin ang mga pari ni Yahweh. Dahil na kay David din ang kanilang kamay at dahil alam nilang tumakas siya ngunit hindi ito sinabi sa akin.” Ngunit hindi mailabas ng mga lingkod ng hari ang kanilang kamay upang patayin ang mga pari ni Yahweh.
18 Then the king said to Doeg, You are to put the priests to death. And Doeg the Edomite, turning on the priests and attacking them, put to death that day eighty-five men who took up the ephod.
Pagkatapos sinabi ng hari kay Doeg, “Bumalik at patayin ang mga pari.” Kaya bumalik si Doeg na taga-Edom at sinalakay ang mga pari; nakapatay siya ng walumpu't-limang mga tao na nakasuot ng isang telang efod sa araw na iyon.
19 And Nob, the town of the priests, he put to the sword, all the men and women, children and babies at the breast, and oxen and asses and sheep.
Sa pamamagitan ng dulo ng espada sinalakay niya ang Nob, ang lungsod ng mga pari, kapwa mga lalaki at mga babae, mga bata at mga sanggol at mga lalaking baka at mga asno at mga tupa. Pinatay niya silang lahat gamit ang talim ng espada.
20 And Abiathar, one of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, got away and went in flight after David;
Ngunit isa sa mga anak na lalaki ni Ahimelec anak na lalaki ni Ahitub, na nagngangalang Abiatar, ang nakatakas at tumakbo kay David.
21 And gave him the news of how Saul had put to death the Lord's priests.
Sinabihan ni Abiatar si David na pinatay ni Saul ang mga pari ni Yahweh.
22 And David said to Abiathar, I was certain that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would take the news to Saul: I am responsible for the lives of all your father's family.
Sinabi ni David kay Abiatar, “Alam kong sa araw na iyon, noong naroon si Doeg na taga-Edom, na siguradong sasabihin niya kay Saul. May pananagutan ako para sa bawat kamatayan ng pamilya ng iyong ama!
23 Keep here with me and have no fear; for he who has designs on my life has designs on yours: but with me you will be safe.
Manatili ka kasama ko at huwag matakot. Dahil ang nagtatangka sa buhay mo ay nagtatangka din sa buhay ko. Magiging ligtas ka kasama ako.”
