< 1 Samuel 25 >
1 And death came to Samuel; and all Israel came together, weeping for him, and put his body in its resting-place in his house at Ramah. Then David went down to the waste land of Maon.
Ngayon namatay na si Samuel. Sama-samang nagtipon ang lahat ng Israelita at nagluksa para sa kanya, at inilibing nila siya sa kanyang bahay sa Rama. Pagkatapos tumayo at bumaba si David sa desyerto ng Paran.
2 Now there was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel; he was a great man and had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats: and he was cutting the wool of his sheep in Carmel.
Mayroong isang lalaki sa Maon, na may mga pag-aari sa Carmel. Napakayaman ng lalaki. Mayroon siyang tatlong libong tupa at isang libong kambing. Naggugupit siya ng kanyang tupa sa Carmel.
3 Now this man was named Nabal, and his wife's name was Abigail: she was a woman of good sense and pleasing looks: but the man was cruel and evil in his ways; he was of the family of Caleb.
Nabal ang pangalan ng lalaki, at ang pangalan ng kanyang asawa ay Abigail. Matalino at may kahali-halinang anyo ang babae. Pero malupit at masama ang lalaki sa kanyang pakikitungo. Isa siyang kaapu-apuhan sa sambahayan ni Caleb.
4 And David had word in the waste land that Nabal was cutting the wool of his sheep.
Narinig ni David sa ilang na si Nabal ay naggugupit ng kanyang tupa.
5 And David sent ten young men, and said to them, Go up to Carmel and go to Nabal, and say kind words to him in my name;
Kaya nagpadala ng sampung kalalakihan si David. Sinabi ni David sa binatang kalalakihan. “Umakyat sa Carmel, pumunta kay Nabal, at batiin siya sa aking pangalan.
6 And say this to my brother, May all be well for you: peace be to you and your house and all you have.
Sasabihin ninyo sa kanya 'Mamuhay sa karangyaan. Kapayapaan para sa iyo at kapayapaan sa iyong bahay, at kapayapaan sa lahat ng mayroon ka.
7 I have had word that you have wool-cutters: now the keepers of your sheep have been with us, and we have done them no evil, and taken nothing of theirs while they were in Carmel.
Narinig ko na mayroon kang mga manggugupit. Nasa amin ang iyong mga pastol, at hindi namin sila sinaktan at walang nawala sa kanila sa buong panahon na sila ay nasa Carmel.
8 If your young men are questioned they will say the same thing. So now, let my young men have grace in your eyes, for we are come at a good time; please give anything you may have by you to your servants and to your son David.
Tanungin ang iyong kabataang kalalakihan, at sasabihin nila sa iyo. Ngayon hayaang makasumpong ng biyaya ang binatang kalalakihan sa iyong mga mata, dahil pupunta kami sa araw ng isang pagdiriwang. Pakiusap magbigay ka anuman ang mayroon ka sa iyong kamay sa iyong mga lingkod at sa iyong anak na lalaking si David.”'
9 And when David's young men came, they said all this to Nabal, in David's name, and said nothing more.
Nang dumating ang mga kabataang kalalakihan ni David, sinabi nila itong lahat kay Nabal sa ngalan ni David at pagkatapos naghintay.
10 And Nabal gave them his answer and said, Who is David? who is the son of Jesse? there are a number of servants in these days running away from their masters.
Sumagot si Nabal sa mga lingkod ni David, “Sino si David? At sino ang anak na lalaki ni Jesse? Maraming mga lingkod sa araw na ito ang sumusuway sa kanilang mga amo.
11 Am I to take my bread and my wine and the meat I have got ready for my wool-cutters and give it to men coming from I have no idea where?
Kailangan ko bang kunin ang aking tinapay, aking tubig at aking karne na kinatay ko para sa aking mga manggugupit at ibigay ito sa kalalakihang dumating mula sa hindi ko alam kung saan nanggaling?”
12 So David's young men, turning away, went back and gave him an account of everything he had said.
Kaya umalis at bumalik ang kabataang kalalakihan ni David, at sinabi sa kanya ang lahat nang bagay na sinabi.
13 And David said to his men, Put on your swords, every one of you. And every man put on his sword; and David did the same; and about four hundred men went up with David, and two hundred kept watch over their goods.
Sinabi ni David sa kanyang tauhan, “Itali nang bawat lalaki ang kanyang espada.” At itinali ng bawat lalaki ang kanyang espada. Itinali rin ni David ang kanyang espada. Halos apat na daang kalalakihan ang sumunod kay David, at naiwan ang dalawang daan sa dala-dalahan.
14 But one of the young men said to Nabal's wife Abigail, David sent men from the waste land to say kind words to our master, and he gave them a rough answer.
Pero sinabihan ng isa sa kabataang kalalakihan si Abigail, asawa ni Nabal; sinabi niya, “Nagpadala si David ng mga mensahero sa labas ng ilang upang batiin ang ating amo, at ininsulto niya sila.
15 But these men have been very good to us; they did us no wrong and nothing of ours was touched while we were with them in the fields:
Yamang napakabait ng kalalakihan sa atin. Hindi tayo sinaktan at walang anumang bagay na nawala sa atin hanggat kasama natin sila nang nasa mga bukirin tayo.
16 But day and night they were like a wall round us while we were with them, looking after the sheep.
Isang pader sila sa atin sa araw man o sa gabi, kasama namin sila sa pagbabantay ng mga tupa.
17 So now, give thought to what you are going to do; for evil is in store for our master and all his house: for he is such a good-for-nothing person that it is not possible to say anything to him.
Samakatuwid alamin ito at isaalang-alang kung ano ang iyong magagawa, sapagka't may balak na kasamaan laban sa ating amo, at laban sa kanyang buong sambahayan. Siya ay napakasamang tao na walang isa na makapagdahilan sa kanya.”
18 Then Abigail quickly took two hundred cakes of bread and two skins full of wine and five sheep ready for cooking and five measures of dry grain and a hundred parcels of dry grapes and two hundred cakes of figs, and put them on asses.
Pagkatapos nagmadali si Abigail at kumuha ng dalawang daang tinapay, dalawang boteng alak, limang tupang nakahanda na, limang sukob ng sinangag na butil, isang daang tungkos ng pasas, at dalawang daang mamon ng igos at ikinarga ang mga ito sa mga asno.
19 And she said to her young men, Go on in front of me and I will come after you. But she said nothing to her husband Nabal.
Sinabi niya sa kanyang kabataang kalalakihan, “Mauna kayo sa akin at susunod ako sa inyo.” Ngunit hindi niya sinabihan ang kanyang asawang si Nabal.
20 Now while she was going down under cover of the mountain on her ass, David and his men came down against her, and suddenly she came face to face with them.
Habang nakasakay siya sa kanyang asno at bumaba sa pamamagitan ng bundok, bumaba si David at kanyang tauhan papunta sa kanya at sinalubong niya sila.
21 Now David had said, What was the use of my taking care of this man's goods in the waste land, so that there was no loss of anything which was his? he has only given me back evil for good.
Ngayon sinabi ni David, “Tiyak na walang kabuluhan ang lahat ng pagbabantay ko sa lahat ng mayroon ang taong ito sa ilang, kaya wala ni isang nawawala na lahat ng nasa kanya, at ibinalik niya sa akin ang masama para sa mabuti.
22 May God's punishment be on David, if when morning comes there is so much as one male of his people still living.
Nawa gawin ng Diyos ito sa akin, David, at marami pa, kung sa umaga wala akong ititirang isang lalaki sa lahat na nasa kanya.”
23 And when Abigail saw David, she quickly got off her ass, falling down on her face before him.
Nang nakita ni Abigail si David, nagmadali siyang bumaba mula sa kanyang asno at lumuhod sa harapan ni David at nagpatirapa sa kanyang sarili sa lupa.
24 And falling at his feet she said, May the wrong be on me, my lord, on me: let your servant say a word to you, and give ear to the words of your servant.
Lumuhod siya sa kanyang paa at sinabi, “Ako lang mag-isa, aking panginoon, na mayroong pagkakasala. Pakiusap hayaan mong kausapin ka ng iyong lingkod, at makinig sa mga salita ng iyong lingkod.
25 Let my lord give no attention to Nabal, that good-for-nothing: for as his name is, so is he, a man without sense: but I, your servant, did not see the young men whom my lord sent.
Huwag mong hayaan aking panginoon na pansinin ang walang halangang taong ito, Nabal ang kanyang pangalan, at ang kahangalan ay nasa kanya. Ngunit ako na iyong lingkod ay hindi nakita ang kabataang kalalakihan ng aking panginoon, na iyong ipinadala.
26 So now, my lord, by the living God and by your living soul, seeing that the Lord has kept you from the crime of blood and from taking into your hands the punishment for your wrongs, may all your haters, and those who would do evil to my lord, be like Nabal.
Pagkatapos ngayon, aking panginoon, habang nabubuhay si Yahweh, at habang nabubuhay ka, buhat ng pinigilan ka ni Yahweh mula sa pagdaloy ng dugo, at mula sa paghihiganti ng iyong sarili sa sariling mong kamay, ngayon hayaan mo ang iyong mga kaaway, at sa mga naghahanap gumawa ng kasamaan sa aking panginoon, ay magiging kagaya ni Nabal.
27 And let this offering, which your servant gives to my lord, be given to the young men who are with my lord.
At ngayon, hayaan sanang madala ng iyong lingkod ang regalong ito para sa aking panginoon, hayaang ibigay ito sa kabataang kalalakihan na sumunod sa aking panginoon.
28 And may the sin of your servant have forgiveness: for the Lord will certainly make your family strong, because my lord is fighting in the Lord's war; and no evil will be seen in you all your days.
Pakiusap patawarin ang pagkakasala ng iyong lingkod, dahil tiyak na gagawan ni Yahweh ang aking panginoon ng isang bahay, dahil nakikipaglaban ang aking panginoon sa labanan ni Yahweh, at hindi makikita ang kasamaan sa iyo habang nabubuhay ka.
29 And though a man has taken up arms against you, putting your life in danger, still the soul of my lord will be kept safe among the band of the living with the Lord your God; and the souls of those who are against you he will send violently away from him, like stones from a bag.
At kahit na tugisin ka ng mga kalalakihan para kunin ang iyong buhay, gayon pa man ang buhay ng aking panginoon ay matatali sa mga nabubuhay sa pamamagitan ni Yahweh na inyong Diyos, at aalisin niya ang mga buhay ng iyong mga kaaway, gaya ng nasa bulsa ng isang tirador.
30 And when the Lord has done for my lord all those good things which he has said he will do for you, and has made you a ruler over Israel;
At mangyari ito, nang matapos gawin ni Yahweh ang lahat ng mabuting mga bagay para sa aking panginoon na kanyang ipinangako sa iyo, at nang ginawa ka niyang pinuno sa buong Israel,
31 Then you will have no cause for grief, and my lord's heart will not be troubled because you have taken life without cause and have yourself given punishment for your wrongs: and when the Lord has been good to you, then give a thought to your servant.
hindi magiging pahirap ang bagay na ito sa iyo, ni masasaktan ang aking panginoon, dahil hindi mo ibinuhos ang iyong dugo ng walang dahilan, at hindi mo ipinaghiganti ang iyong sarili. At kapag nagdala ng tagumpay si Yahweh sa aking panginoon, alalahanin mo ang iyong lingkod.”
32 And David said to Abigail, May the Lord, the God of Israel, be praised, who sent you to me today:
Sinabi ni David kay Abigail, “Nawa si Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israel, na pinagpala, ang siyang nagpadala sa iyo upang makipagkita sa akin sa araw na ito.
33 A blessing on your good sense and on you, who have kept me today from the crime of blood and from taking into my hands the punishment for my wrongs.
At ang iyong kaalaman ay pinagpala, at pinagpala ka, dahil pinanatili mo ako sa araw na ito mula sa pagkakasala sa pagdanak ng dugo at mula sa paghihiganti ko para sa aking sariling gamit ang aking kamay.
34 For truly, by the living Lord, the God of Israel, who has kept me from doing you evil, if you had not been so quick in coming to me and meeting me, by dawn there would not have been in Nabal's house so much as one male living.
Para sa katotohanan, ayon kay Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israelm ma nabubuhay, na pinigilan ako na saktan ka, maliban lamang kung nagmadali ka para makipagkita sa akin, tiyak na walang matitira kay Nabal kahit isang sanggol na lalaki kinaumagahan.”
35 Then David took from her hands her offering: and he said to her, Go back to your house in peace; see, I have given ear to your voice, and taken your offering with respect.
Kaya tinanggap ni David mula sa kanyang kamay kung ano ang kanyang dinala sa kanya, sinabi niya sa kanya, “Umakyat ka ng may kapayapaan sa iyong bahay; tingnan mo, nakinig ako sa iyong boses at tinanggap kita.”
36 And Abigail went back to Nabal; and he was feasting in his house like a king; and Nabal's heart was full of joy, for he had taken much wine; so she said nothing to him till dawn came.
Bumalik si Abigail kay Nabal; masdan mo, siya ay nagdadaos ng isang pagdiriwang sa kanyang bahay, tulad ng pagdiriwang ng isang hari; at maligaya ang puso ni Nabal sa kalooban niya, dahil lasing na lasing siya. Kaya hindi niya sinabi ang lahat hanggang sa magbukang-liwayway.
37 And in the morning, when the effect of the wine was gone, Nabal's wife gave him an account of all these things, and all the heart went out of him, and he became like stone.
At nangyari kinaumagahan, nang hindi na lasing si Nabal, na sinabi ng kanyang asawa sa kanya ang mga bagay na ito, inatake siya sa puso, at naging tulad siya ng isang bato.
38 And about ten days after, the Lord sent disease on Nabal and death came to him.
At dumating matapos ang sampung araw na sinalakay ni Yahweh si Nabal kaya namatay siya.
39 And David, hearing that Nabal was dead, said, May the Lord be praised, who has taken up my cause against Nabal for the shame which he put on me, and has kept back his servant from evil, and has sent on Nabal's head the reward of his evil-doing. And David sent word to Abigail, desiring to take her as his wife.
At nang narinig ni David na namatay na si Nabal, sinabi niya, “Nawa pagpalain si Yahweh, na siyang kumuha ng dahilan ng pang-iinsulto sa akin mula sa kamay ni Nabal, at sa pag-iingat ng kanyang lingkod mula sa kasamaan. At ibinalik niya ang masamang kilos ni Nabal sa kanyang sarili.” Pagkatapos nagpadala si David ng mga lingkod at kinausap si Abigail, para kunin siya bilang kaniyang asawa.
40 And when David's servants came to Carmel, to Abigail, they said to her, David has sent us to you to take you to him as his wife.
Nang dumating ang mga lingkod ni David kay Abigail sa Carmel, nakipag-usap sila sa kanya at sinabi, “Ipinadala kami ni David sa iyo upang kunin ka para sa kaniya bilang kanyang asawa.”
41 And she got up, and going down on her face to the earth, said, See, I am ready to be a servant-girl, washing the feet of the servants of my lord.
Tumayo siya, niyuko ang kanyang sarili kasama ang kanyang mukha sa lupa, at sinabi, “Tingnan ninyo, ang iyong lingkod na babae ay isang lingkod para maghugas ng mga paa ng mga lingkod ng aking panginoon.”
42 Then Abigail got up quickly and went on her ass, with five of her young women, after the men whom David had sent; and she became David's wife.
Nagmadali si Abigail at tumayo, at sumakay sa isang asno na may limang lingkod na babae na sumunod sa kanya, at sumunod siya sa mga mensahero ni David at naging kanyang asawa.
43 And David had taken Ahinoam of Jezreel, to be his wife; these two were his wives.
Kinuha rin ni David si Ahinoam ng Jezreel bilang isang asawa, kapwa sila ay naging kanyang mga asawa.
44 Now Saul had given his daughter Michal, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish of Gallim.
Ngayon ibinigay ni Saul si Mical na kanyang anak na babae, asawa ni David, kay Palti anak ni Lais, na nasa Gallim.
