1 Samuel 24
1 And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi.
Nang bumalik si Saul mula sa pagtugis sa mga Filisteo, sinabihan siya, “Si David ay nasa desyerto ng Engedi.”
2 Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men on the rocks of the wild goats.
Pagkatapos kumuha si Saul ng tatlong libong piling kalalakihan mula sa buong Israel at umalis para hanapin si David at kanyang mga tauhan sa mga Bato ng mga Ligaw na Kambing.
3 And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave.
Dumating siya sa tabi ng kulungan ng mga tupa, na kung saan may isang kuweba. Pumasok si Saul sa loob upang paginhawahin ang kanyang sarili.
4 And the men of David said to him, Behold the day of which the LORD said to you, Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, that you may do to him as it shall seem good to you. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe privately.
Sinabi ng mga tauhan ni David sa kanya, “Ito ang araw na sinabi ni Yahweh na sinabi niya sa iyo, 'Ibibigay ko sa iyong kamay ang iyong kaaway, upang gawin mo ang nais mong gawin sa kanya.”' Pagkatapos umakyat si David at tahimik na gumapang pasulong at pinutol ang gilid ng balabal ni Saul.
5 And it came to pass afterward, that David’s heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul’s skirt.
Pagkatapos bumigat ang damdamin ni David dahil pinutol niya ang gilid ng balabal ni Saul.
6 And he said to his men, The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the LORD’s anointed, to stretch forth my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD.
Sinabi niya sa kanyang mga tauhan, “Huwag nawang ipahintulot ni Yahweh na gawin ko ang bagay na ito sa aking panginoon, na hinirang ni Yahweh, para iunat ko ang aking kamay laban sa kanya, sapagkat hinirang siya ni Yahweh.”
7 So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.
Kaya pinagsabihan ni David ang kanyang mga tauhan ng mga salitang ito, at hindi sila pinahintulutang salakayin si Saul. Tumayo si Saul, iniwan ang kuweba, at umalis.
8 David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed himself.
Pagkatapos, tumayo rin si David, iniwan ang kuweba, at tinawag si Saul: “Aking panginoong hari.” Nang tumingin si Saul sa kanyang likuran, nagpatirapa si David sa lupa at nagpakita sa kanya ng paggalang.
9 And David said to Saul, Why hear you men’s words, saying, Behold, David seeks your hurt?
Sinabi ni David kay Saul, “Bakit ka nakikinig sa mga kalalakihan na nagsabing, “Tingnan mo, gusto kang saktan ni David?'
10 Behold, this day your eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered you to day into my hand in the cave: and some bade me kill you: but my eye spared you; and I said, I will not put forth my hand against my lord; for he is the LORD’s anointed.
Ngayon nakita ng iyong mga mata kung paano ka inilagay ni Yahweh sa aking kamay nang nasa kuweba pa tayo. Sinabi ng ilan sa akin na patayin kita, ngunit kinaawaan kita. Sinabi ko, 'Hindi ko iuunat ang aking kamay laban sa aking panginoon; dahil hinirang siya ni Yahweh.'
11 Moreover, my father, see, yes, see the skirt of your robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of your robe, and killed you not, know you and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against you; yet you hunt my soul to take it.
Tingnan mo, aking ama, tingnan mo ang gilid ng iyong balabal sa aking kamay. Sapagkat ang katotohanan kung bakit ko pinutol ang gilid ng iyong balabal at hindi kita pinatay, para malaman mo at makita mo na walang masama o pagtataksil sa aking kamay, at hindi ako nagkasala laban sa iyo, kahit na tinutugis mo ang aking buhay para makuha.
12 The LORD judge between me and you, and the LORD avenge me of you: but my hand shall not be on you.
Nawa'y humatol si Yahweh sa pagitan mo at sa akin, at nawa'y si Yahweh ang maghiganti para sa akin laban sa iyo, ngunit hindi magiging laban sa iyo ang kamay ko.
13 As says the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceeds from the wicked: but my hand shall not be on you.
Gaya ng sinabi ng lumang kasabihan, 'Mula sa makasalanan lumalabas ang kasamaan.' Ngunit hindi magiging laban sa iyo ang kamay ko.
14 After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom do you pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea.
Mula kanino sumunod ang hari ng Israel? Mula kanino ka humahabol? Sa isang patay na aso! Sa isang pulgas!
15 The LORD therefore be judge, and judge between me and you, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of your hand.
Nawa'y maging hukom si Yahweh at magbigay ng hatol sa pagitan natin, at tiyakin, at ipakiusap ang layunin ko at pahintulutan akong makatakas mula sa iyong kamay.”
16 And it came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, Is this your voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
Nang matapos sabihin ni David ang mga salitang ito kay Saul, Sinabi ni Saul, “Boses mo ba ito, David, aking anak?” Nagtaas ng kanyang boses si Saul at umiyak.
17 And he said to David, You are more righteous than I: for you have rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded you evil.
Sinabi niya kay David, “Mas matuwid ka kaysa sa akin. Dahil sinuklian mo ako nang mabuti, kung saan sinuklian kita ng kasamaan.
18 And you have showed this day how that you have dealt well with me: for as much as when the LORD had delivered me into your hand, you killed me not.
Ipinahayag mo ngayong araw na ito kung paano ka gumawa nang mabuti sa akin, dahil hindi mo ako pinatay nang nilagay ako ni Yahweh sa iyong habag.
19 For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away? why the LORD reward you good for that you have done to me this day.
Dahil kung matatagpuan ng isang tao ang kanyang kaaway, hahayaan ba niya siyang umalis ito nang ligtas? Nawa'y gantimpalaan ka ni Yahweh ng mabuti para sa nagawa mo sa akin ngayon.
20 And now, behold, I know well that you shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.
Ngayon alam kong tiyak na magiging tapat na hari ka at itatatag ang kaharian ng Israel sa iyong kamay.
21 Swear now therefore to me by the LORD, that you will not cut off my seed after me, and that you will not destroy my name out of my father’s house.
Ipangako mo sa akin sa pamamagitan ni Yahweh na hindi mo puputulin ang aking mga kaapu-apuhan kasunod ko, at hindi mo sisirain ang aking pangalan sa bahay ng aking ama.”
22 And David swore to Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men got them up to the hold.
Kaya gumawa si David ng isang panunumpa kay Saul. Pagkatapos umuwi si Saul, pero umakyat sina David at kanyang mga tauhan sa matibay na tanggulan.
