1 Samuel 24
1 And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from pursuing the Philistines, that it was told to him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of 'En-gedi.
Nang bumalik si Saul mula sa pagtugis sa mga Filisteo, sinabihan siya, “Si David ay nasa desyerto ng Engedi.”
2 Then took Saul three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon 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 sheepfolds by the way, and there was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men were sitting in the lower end 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 unto him, Behold, this is the day of which the Lord hath said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thy enemy into thy hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good in thy eyes. And David arose, and cut off the corner of the robe which Saul wore, unperceived.
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 the corner of Saul's [robe].
Pagkatapos bumigat ang damdamin ni David dahil pinutol niya ang gilid ng balabal ni Saul.
6 And he said unto his men, Far be it from me for the Lord's sake, that I should do this thing unto my master, the Lord's anointed, to stretch forth my hand against him; because 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 restrained 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 forth out of the cave, and called after Saul, saying, My Lord, the king! And Saul then looked behind him, and David bowed his face to the earth, and prostrated 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, Wherefore wilt thou listen to men's words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy injury?
Sinabi ni David kay Saul, “Bakit ka nakikinig sa mga kalalakihan na nagsabing, “Tingnan mo, gusto kang saktan ni David?'
10 Behold, this day thy eyes have seen how that the Lord had delivered thee today into my hand in the cave, and some one said that I should kill thee: but my soul felt compassion for thee: and I said, I will not stretch forth my hand against my Lord; because he is the anointed of the Lord.
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 And now, my father, see, yea, see the corner of thy robe in my hand; for in that I cut off the corner of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in my hand, and that I have not sinned against thee: yet thou liest in wait for 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 May the Lord judge between me and thee, and may the Lord avenge me on thee; but my hand shall not be against thee.
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 saith the proverb of the ancients, From the wicked proceedeth wickedness; but my hand shall not be against thee.
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 gone out? after whom art thou pursuing? after a dead dog, after a single flea.
Mula kanino sumunod ang hari ng Israel? Mula kanino ka humahabol? Sa isang patay na aso! Sa isang pulgas!
15 May the Lord therefore be judge, and decide between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and obtain me justice out of thy 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 finished speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy 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, Thou art more righteous than I; for thou hast done for me only what is good, whereas I have rewarded thee only with what is 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 thou hast proved this day, that thou hast dealt well with me; forasmuch as when the Lord had surrendered me into thy hand, thou didst not kill me.
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 away on a good road? so may the Lord reward thee with good for what thou hast done unto 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 that thou wilt surely become king, and that the kingdom of Israel will stand firmly in thy hand.
Ngayon alam kong tiyak na magiging tapat na hari ka at itatatag ang kaharian ng Israel sa iyong kamay.
21 And now swear unto me by the Lord, that thou wilt not cut off my seed after me, and that thou wilt 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 unto Saul; and Saul went to his house; but David and his men went up into the strong-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.
