< 1 Samuel 30 >

1 And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;
At nangyari na nang bumalik sa Ziklag si David at ng kanyang mga tauhan sa ikatlong araw, na gumawa ng pagsalakay ang mga Amalekita sa Negev at sa Ziklag. Linusob nila ang Ziklag, sinunog ito,
2 And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way.
at binihag ang mga kababaihan at bawat isang naroroon, kapwa maliliit at malalaki. Wala silang pinatay, ngunit dinala sila habang papaalis sila.
3 So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.
Nang dumating sina David at ang kanyang mga tauhan sa lungsod, nasunog na ito—at binihag ang kanilang mga asawa, kanilang mga anak na lalaki, at kanilang mga anak na babae.
4 Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
Pagkatapos nagtaas ng boses sina David at mga taong kasama niya at umiyak sila hanggang wala na silang kakayahang umiyak.
5 And David’s two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Binihag ang dalawang asawa ni David na sina Ahinoam na taga-Jezreel, at si Abigail na asawa ni Nabal na taga-Carmelo.
6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
Labis na namighati si David, sapagkat nag-uusap ang mga tao tungkol sa pagbato sa kanya, dahil ang mga espiritu ng lahat ng tao ay nagdadalamhati, bawat tao para sa kanyang mga anak na lalaki at mga anak na babae; subalit pinalakas ni David ang kanyang sarili kay Yahweh, na kanyang Diyos.
7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech’s son, I pray you, bring me here the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.
Sinabi ni David kay Abiathar na anak ni Ahimelec na pari, “Nagmamakaawa ako sa iyo, dalhin mo dito ang epod para sa akin.” Dinala ni Abiathar ang epod kay David.
8 And David inquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for you shall surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.
Nanalangin si David kay Yahweh ng gabay, sinasabing, “Kung tutugisin ko ang hukbong ito, maaabutan ko ba sila? Sumagot si Yahweh sa kanya, “Tugisin mo sila dahil tiyak na maaabutan mo sila, at tiyak na mababawi mo ang lahat.”
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.
Kaya umalis si David, siya at ang anim na raang tauhang kasama niya; nakarating sila sa batis Besor, kung saan nanatili ang mga lalaking naiwan.
10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred stayed behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
Ngunit patuloy si David sa pagtugis, siya at ang apat na raang tauhan; sapagkat dalawang daang tauhan ang naiwan na mahinang mahina na kaya hindi na makatawid sa batis ng Besor.
11 And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;
Natagpuan nila sa bukid ang isang taga-Ehipto at dinala kay David; binigyan nila ng tinapay, at kinain niya ito; binigyan nila ng tubig na maiinom;
12 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
at binigyan nila ng isang pirasong mamon na gawa sa igos at dalawang kumpol ng pasas. Nang nakakain na siya, bumalik na muli ang kanyang lakas, sapagkat hindi siya kumain ng tinapay ni uminom ng tubig sa loob ng tatlong araw at tatlong gabi.
13 And David said to him, To whom belong you? and from where are you? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.
Sinabi ni David sa kanya, “Kanino ka nabibilang? Saan ka nagmula?” Sinabi niya, isa akong binata ng Ehipto, lingkod ng isang Amalekita; iniwan ako ng aking amo, dahil tatlong araw na ang nakakaraan nagkasakit ako.
14 We made an invasion on the south of the Cherethites, and on the coast which belongs to Judah, and on the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.
Gumawa kami ng pagsalakay sa Negev ng mga Chereteo, at kung ano ang nabibilang sa Juda, at sa Negev ng Caleb, at sinunog namin ang Ziklag.”
15 And David said to him, Can you bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear to me by God, that you will neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this company.
Sinabi sa kanya ni David, “Maaari mo ba akong dalhin pababa sa mga pangkat na ito na sumalakay?” Sinabi ng taga-Ehipto, “Sumumpa ka sa akin sa Diyos na hindi mo ako papatayin o ipagkakanulo sa mga kamay ng aking panginoon, at dadalhin ko kayo pababa sa mga sumalakay na pangkat na ito.”
16 And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad on all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
Nang dinala si David ang taga-Ehipto pababa, ang mga sumalakay ay nagkalat sa buong paligid, nagkakainan at nag-iinuman, at nagsasayawan, dahil sa lahat ng mga nanakaw nila mula sa lupain ng Filisteo at mula sa lupain ng Juda.
17 And David smote them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode on camels, and fled.
Nilusob sila ni David mula sa takip-silim hanggang sa gabi ng sumunod na araw. Wala ni isang lalaki ang nakatakas maliban sa apat na raang binatang sumakay sa mga kamelyo at tumakas.
18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives.
Nabawi ni David ang lahat ng kinuha ng mga Amalekita; at nailigtas ni David ang kanyang dalawang asawa.
19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.
Wala ni isang nawala, maging maliliit man ni malalaki, maging anak na mga lalaki ni anak na mga babae, maging ang nanakaw, ni anumang bagay na kinuha sa kanila ng mga sumalakay para sa kanilang sarili. Dinala ni David pabalik ang lahat.
20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other cattle, and said, This is David’s spoil.
Kinuha ni David ang lahat ng kanilang mga kawan at mga pangkat ng hayop, na itinaboy ng mga tauhan sa unahan ng ibang baka. Sinabi nila, “Ito ang nanakaw ni David.”
21 And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
Pumunta si David sa kanyang dalawandaang tauhang naiwan na mahinang mahina para sumunod sa kanya, iyong mga pinaiwan ng iba upang manatili sa batis Besor. Ang mga tauhang ito ang naunang pumunta para salubungin si David at mga taong kasama niya. Nang pumunta si David sa mga taong ito, binati niya sila.
22 Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them any of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.
Pagkatapos sinabi ng lahat ng masasamang lalaki at mga walang kabuluhang taong sumama kay David, “Dahil hindi sumama sa atin ang mga kalalakihang ito, hindi natin sila bibigyan ng anumang nanakaw na nabawi natin. Maliban na maaaring isama ng bawat lalaki ang kanyang asawa at mga anak, pangunahan sila palayo, at umalis.”
23 Then said David, You shall not do so, my brothers, with that which the LORD has given us, who has preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.
Kaya sinabi ni David, “Hindi kayo dapat kumilos ng ganito sa mga ibinigay sa atin ni Yahweh, mga kapatid. Iningatan niya tayo at ibinigay sa ating kamay ang mga sumalakay laban sa atin.
24 For who will listen to you in this matter? but as his part is that goes down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarries by the stuff: they shall part alike.
Sinong makikinig sa inyo sa bagay na ito? Dahil gaya ng kabahagi ay para sa sinumang pumunta sa labanan, kaya ganundin ang kabahagi para sa sinumang nagbantay sa mga gamit; makikibahagi sila at magkakapareho bawat kabahagi.”
25 And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
Naging ganoon na mula sa araw na iyon hanggang sa araw na ito, sapagkat ginawang batas iyon ni David at isang kautusan para sa Israel.
26 And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil to the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;
Nang pumunta si David sa Ziklag ipinadala niya ang ilan sa mga nanakaw sa mga nakakatanda ng Juda, sa kanyang mga kaibigan, sinabing, “Tingnan ninyo, narito ang isang handog para sa inyo mula sa nanakaw mula sa mga kaaway ni Yahweh.”
27 To them which were in Bethel, and to them which were in south Ramoth, and to them which were in Jattir,
Sa mga nakakatanda na nasa Betuel, at sa mga nasa Ramot sa Timog, at sa mga nasa Jattir,
28 And to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa,
at sa mga nasa Aroer, at sa mga nasa Sifmot, at sa mga nasa Estemoa.
29 And to them which were in Rachal, and to them which were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them which were in the cities of the Kenites,
At ganun din sa mga nakakatandang nasa Racal, at sa mga nasa lungsod ng mga Jerahmeelita, at sa mga nasa siyudad ng mga Cineo,
30 And to them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in Chorashan, and to them which were in Athach,
at sa mga nasa Horma, at sa mga nasa Borasan, at sa mga nasa Athac,
31 And to them which were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.
at sa mga nasa Hebron, at sa lahat ng lugar kung saan palaging pumupunta mismo si David at ng kanyang mga tauhan.
