< 1 Samuel 30 >
1 It happened, when David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, that Amalek had made a raid on the Negev, and on Ziklag, and had struck 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 captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great. They did not kill any, but carried them off, and went 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 When David and his men came to the city, look, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captive.
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 who 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 David's two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelite 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 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 strengthened 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 David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, "Please bring me here the ephod." Abiathar brought 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 David inquired of the LORD, saying, "If I pursue after this troop, shall I overtake them?" He answered him, "Pursue; for you shall surely overtake them, and shall 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 who were with him, and came to the Wadi Besor, where those who 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, who were so faint that they couldn't cross the Wadi 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 They found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they gave him water to drink.
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 They gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins. 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 David asked him, "To whom do you belong? Where are you from?" 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 a raid on the Negev of the Kerethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the Negev 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 David said to him, "Will you bring me down to this troop?" He said, "Swear to me by God that you will neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this troop." And he swore to him.
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 When he had brought him down, look, they were spread around over all the ground, eating, 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 David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day and he put them to death. Not a man of them escaped from there, except four hundred young men, who 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 He recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; 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 There was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor anything that they had taken to them. David brought back 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 He took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other livestock, 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 David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom he also had made to stay at the Wadi Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. And when David came near to the people, he greeted 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 every wicked and worthless one of the men who had gone with David answered, and they said, "Because they did not go with us, we will not give them anything of the spoil that we have recovered, except to each man his wife and his children. And let them take them, 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 David said, "You shall not do so after what the LORD has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered into our hand the raiding party that came against us.
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 So who will listen to you in this matter? For they are not inferior to you. For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so will his share be who remains with the supplies; they will share 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 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 When David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil to the elders of Judah and to his friends, saying, "Look, 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 He sent it to those who were in Bethel, and to those who were in Ramath Negev, and to those who were in Jattir,
Sa mga nakakatanda na nasa Betuel, at sa mga nasa Ramot sa Timog, at sa mga nasa Jattir,
28 and to those who were in Aroer, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa,
at sa mga nasa Aroer, at sa mga nasa Sifmot, at sa mga nasa Estemoa.
29 and to those who were in Racal, and to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenizzites.
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 those who were in Hormah, and to those who were in Bor Ashan, and to those who were in Athach,
at sa mga nasa Horma, at sa mga nasa Borasan, at sa mga nasa Athac,
31 and to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men used to stay.
at sa mga nasa Hebron, at sa lahat ng lugar kung saan palaging pumupunta mismo si David at ng kanyang mga tauhan.
