1 Samuel 18
1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
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 Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home 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 and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
Pagkatapos gumawa ng pakikipagkaibigang kasunduan sina Jonatan at David dahil minahal siya ni Jonatan na parang kanyang sariling kaluluwa.
4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
Hinubad ni Jonatan ang kanyang balabal na kanyang isinuot at ibinigay ito kay David kasama nang kanyang sandata, kanyang espada, pana at sinturon.
5 And David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.
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 And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of music.
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 the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten 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 very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more 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 Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
At patuloy na minasdan ni Saul si David na may paghihinala mula sa araw na iyon.
10 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came on Saul, and he prophesied in the middle of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul’s hand.
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 Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall with it. And David avoided out of his presence 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 And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul.
Natakot si Saul kay David, dahil kasama niya si Yahweh, ngunit hindi na kasama ni Saul.
13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
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 David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.
Sumasagana si David sa lahat ng kanyang paraan, sapagkat kasama niya si Yahweh.
15 Why when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, 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 went out and came in before them.
Pero minahal ng buong Israel at Juda si David dahil lumalabas siya at pumunta sa kanilang harapan.
17 And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merab, her will I give you to wife: only be you valiant for me, and fight the LORD’s battles. For Saul said, Let not my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on 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 life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son in law to 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 But it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul’s daughter should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite to wife.
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 And Michal Saul’s daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
Pero minahal ni Mical, na anak na babae ni Saul si David. Sinabihan nila si Saul at nakalugod ito sa kanya.
21 And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Why Saul said to David, You shall this day be my son in law in the one of the two.
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 And Saul commanded his servants, saying, Commune with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you: now therefore be the king’s 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 And Saul’s servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seems it to you a light thing to be a king’s son in law, seeing that 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 of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spoke David.
Iniulat ng mga lingkod ni Saul ang mga salitang ito na sinabi ni David.
25 And Saul said, Thus shall you say to David, The king desires not any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand 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 And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son in law: and the days were not expired.
Nang sinabi ng mga lingkod ang mga salitang ito kay David, nakalugod ito kay David na maging manugang ng hari.
27 Why David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king’s son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.
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 And Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that Michal Saul’s daughter loved him.
At nakita at nalaman ni Saul na si Yahweh ay kasama ni David. Minahal siya ni Mical, ang anak na babae ni Saul.
29 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David’s enemy continually.
Mas lalong natakot si Saul kay David. Patuloy na naging kaaway ni Saul si David.
30 Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, after they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by.
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.
