1 Samuel 13
1 When he began to reign, Saul was the son of one year, and he reigned over Israel for two years.
Si Saul ay may (apat na pung) taong gulang nang siya'y magpasimulang maghari; at siya'y nagharing dalawang taon sa Israel.
2 And Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel. And two thousand were with Saul at Michmash and at mount Bethel. Then one thousand were with Jonathan at Gibeah of Benjamin. But the remainder of the people, he sent back, each one to his own tent.
At pumili si Saul para sa kaniya ng tatlong libong lalake sa Israel, na ang dalawang libo ay kasama ni Saul sa Michmas at sa bundok ng Bethel, at ang isang libo ay kasama ni Jonathan sa Gabaa ng Benjamin: at ang labis ng bayan ay sinugo niya bawa't isa sa kaniyang tolda.
3 And Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines, which was in Gibeah. And when the Philistines had heard about it, Saul sounded the trumpet over all the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews listen.”
At sinaktan ni Jonathan ang pulutong ng mga Filisteo na nasa Geba; at nabalitaan ng mga Filisteo. At hinipan ni Saul ang pakakak sa buong lupain, na sinasabi, Marinig ng mga Hebreo.
4 And all of Israel heard this report, that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines. And Israel raised himself up against the Philistines. Then the people cried out to Saul at Gilgal.
At narinig nga ng buong Israel ng sabihin na sinaktan ni Saul ang pulutong ng mga Filisteo, at ang Israel naman ay naging kasuklam-suklam sa mga Filisteo. At ang bayan ay nagpipisan na sumunod kay Saul sa Gilgal.
5 And the Philistines gathered to do battle against Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and the remainder of the common people, who were very many, like the sand that is on the shore of the sea. And ascending, they encamped at Michmash, toward the east of Bethaven.
At ang mga Filisteo ay nagpupulong upang lumaban sa Israel, tatlong pung libong karo, at anim na libong mangangabayo, at ang bayan na gaya ng buhangin na nasa baybayin ng dagat sa karamihan: at sila'y umahon at humantong sa Michmas sa dakong silanganan ng Beth-aven.
6 And when the men of Israel had seen themselves to be in a narrowed position, they hid themselves in caves, and in out of the way places, and in rocks, and in hollows, and in pits (for the people were distressed).
Nang makita ng mga lalake ng Israel na sila'y nasa kagipitan, (sapagka't ang bayan ay napipighati) ang bayan nga ay nagkubli sa mga yungib, at sa mga tinikan, at sa mga bato, at sa mga katibayan, at sa mga hukay.
7 Then some of the Hebrews crossed over the Jordan, into the land of Gad and Gilead. And while Saul was still at Gilgal, the entire people who followed him were terrified.
Ang iba nga sa mga Hebreo ay tumawid sa Jordan na patungo sa lupain ng Gad, at ng Galaad; nguni't si Saul ay nasa Gilgal siya, at ang buong bayan ay sumunod sa kaniya na nanginginig.
8 But he waited for seven days, in accord with what was agreed with Samuel. But Samuel did not arrive at Gilgal, for the people were scattering away from him.
At siya'y naghintay ng pitong araw, ayon sa takdang panahon na itinakda ni Samuel: nguni't si Samuel ay hindi naparoon sa Gilgal; at ang bayan ay nangangalat sa kaniya.
9 Therefore, Saul said, “Bring me the holocaust and the peace offerings.” And he offered the holocaust.
At sinabi ni Saul, Dalhin dito sa akin ang handog na susunugin, at ang handog tungkol sa kapayapaan. At kaniyang inihandog ang handog na susunugin.
10 And when he had completed the offering of the holocaust, behold, Samuel arrived. And Saul went out to meet him, so that he might greet him.
At nangyari, na pagkatapos niyang maihandog ang handog na susunugin, narito, si Samuel ay dumating; at lumabas si Saul na sinalubong siya upang bumati sa kaniya.
11 And Samuel said to him, “What have you done?” Saul responded: “Since I saw that the people were scattering away from me, and you had not arrived after the agreed upon days, and yet the Philistines had gathered together at Michmash,
At sinabi ni Samuel, Ano ang iyong ginawa? At sinabi ni Saul, Sapagka't aking nakita na ang bayan ay nangangalat sa akin, at hindi ka dumarating sa mga takdang araw, at ang mga Filisteo ay nagpupulong sa Michmas;
12 I said: ‘Now the Philistines will descend to me at Gilgal. And I have not appeased the face of the Lord.’ Compelled by necessity, I offered the holocaust.
Kaya aking sinabi, Ngayo'y lulusungin ako ng mga Filisteo sa Gilgal, at hindi ko pa naipamamanhik ang kagalingan sa Panginoon: ako'y nagpumilit nga at inihandog ko ang handog na susunugin.
13 And Samuel said to Saul: “You have acted foolishly. You have not kept the commandments of the Lord your God, which he instructed to you. And if you had not acted in this way, the Lord would, here and now, have prepared your kingdom over Israel forever.
At sinabi ni Samuel kay Saul, Gumawa kang may kamangmangan; hindi mo ginanap ang utos ng Panginoon mong Dios na iniutos niya sa iyo: sapagka't itinatag sana ng Panginoon ang kaniyang kaharian sa Israel magpakailan man.
14 But by no means shall your kingdom rise up any more. The Lord has sought for himself a man according to his own heart. And him the Lord has instructed to be the leader over his people, because you have not kept what the Lord has instructed.”
Nguni't ngayon ay hindi matutuloy ang iyong kaharian: ang Panginoo'y humanap para sa kaniya ng isang lalaking ayon sa kaniyang sariling puso, at inihalal ng Panginoon siya na maging prinsipe sa kaniyang bayan, sapagka't hindi mo ginanap ang iniutos ng Panginoon sa iyo.
15 Then Samuel rose up and ascended from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And the remainder of the people ascended after Saul, to meet the people who were fighting against them, going from Gilgal into Gibeah, to the hill of Benjamin. And Saul took a census of the people, who had been found to be with him, about six hundred men.
At bumangon si Samuel at umahon siya mula sa Gilgal hanggang sa Gabaa ng Benjamin. At binilang ni Saul ang bayan na nakaharap sa kaniya, na may anim na raang lalake.
16 And Saul, and his son Jonathan, and the people who had been found to be with them, were at Gibeah of Benjamin. But the Philistines had settled in at Michmash.
At si Saul, at si Jonathan na kaniyang anak, at ang bayan na nakaharap sa kanila, ay tumigil sa Geba ng Benjamin: nguni't ang mga Filisteo ay humantong sa Michmas.
17 And three companies went out from the camp of the Philistines, in order to plunder. One company was traveling toward the way of Ophrah, to the land of Shual.
At ang mga mananamsam ay lumabas na tatlong pulutong sa kampamento ng mga Filisteo; ang isang pulutong ay lumiko sa daan na patungo sa Ophra, na patungo sa lupain ng Sual:
18 Then another entered along the way of Beth-horon. But the third turned itself to the way of the border, overhanging the valley of Zeboim, opposite the desert.
At ang isang pulutong ay lumiko sa daan na patungo sa Beth-horon at ang isang pulutong ay lumiko sa daan ng hangganan na humaharap na palusong sa libis ng Seboim sa dakong ilang.
19 Now there was no worker of iron to be found in all the land of Israel. For the Philistines had been cautious, lest perhaps the Hebrews might make swords or spears.
Wala ngang panday na masumpungan sa buong lupain ng Israel: sapagka't sinasabi ng mga Filisteo, Baka ang mga Hebreo ay igawa nila ng mga tabak o mga sibat:
20 Therefore, all of Israel descended to the Philistines, so that each man could sharpen his plowshare, or pick axe, or hatchet, or hoe.
Nguni't nilusong ng lahat ng mga taga Israel ang mga Filisteo upang ihasa ng bawa't lalake ang kaniyang pangararo, at ang kaniyang asarol, at ang kaniyang palakol, at ang kaniyang piko;
21 For their plow blades, and pick axes, and pitch forks, and axes had become blunt, and even the handles needed to be repaired.
Gayon ma'y mayroon silang pangkikil sa mga piko at sa mga asarol, at sa mga kalaykay, at sa mga palakol, at upang ipang-hasa ng mga panundot.
22 And when the day of battle had arrived, there was found neither sword nor spear in the hand of the entire people who were with Saul and Jonathan, except for Saul and his son Jonathan.
Sa gayo'y nangyari, na sa araw ng pagbabaka, ay wala kahit tabak o sibat mang masumpungan sa kamay ng sinoman sa bayan na kasama ni Saul at ni Jonathan: kundi si Saul at si Jonathan na kaniyang anak ang kinasumpungan lamang.
23 Then the army of the Philistines went out in order to go across Michmash.
At ang pulutong ng mga Filisteo ay lumabas na napatungo sa daanan ng Michmas.
