< 1 Samuel 14 >
1 One day, Jonathan said to the young man who carried his weapons, “Come with me; we will go over to where the Philistia soldiers have put up their tents.” [So they went], but Jonathan did not tell his father [what they were going to do].
Usa ka adlaw niana, miingon si Jonatan nga anak nga lalaki ni Saul ngadto sa batan-ong tigdala sa iyang hinagiban, “Dali, mangadto kita sa kuta sa mga Filistahanon nga anaa sa pikas bahin.” Apan wala niya sultihi ang iyang amahan.
2 On that day, Saul and the 600 soldiers who were with him were sitting around a pomegranate tree at a place where the people threshed grain, near Gibeah.
Nagpuyo si Saul ibabaw sa sibsibanan sa Gabaon ilalom sa kahoy nga granada nga anaa sa Migron. Adunay mga 600 ka mga tawo ang uban kaniya,
3 Ahijah the priest was also there. He was wearing the sacred vest. Ahijah was the son of Ahitub, who was a brother of Ichabod. Ichabod and Ahitub were the sons of Phinehas, who was the son of Eli, who had been Yahweh’s priest at Shiloh. No one knew that Jonathan had left [the Israeli camp].
lakip na si Ahijah ang anak nga lalaki ni Ahitub (nga igsoong lalaki ni Icabod) ang anak nga lalaki ni Pinehas ang anak nga lalaki ni Eli, nga mao ang pari ni Yahweh didto sa Silo, nga nagsul-ob sa ephod. Wala masayod ang katawhan nga milakaw si Jonatan.
4 Jonathan planned that he and the young man would go through a narrow (pass/place between two cliffs) to get to where the Philistia army was. The cliff on one side of the pass was named Bozez, and the other cliff was named Seneh.
Sa matag-kilid nga bahin sa agianan nga gustong adtoan ni Jonatan aron makaabot sa kampo sa mga Filistihanon, adunay usa ka batoon nga pangpang sa pikas ug sa laing bahin usab ang usa ka batoon nga pangpang. Ang ngalan sa usa nga batoon nga pangpang mao ang Boses ug ang laing batoong pangpang gitawag ug Sene.
5 One cliff faced north toward Micmash, and the cliff on the other side faced south toward Geba [town].
Ang usa ka batoon nga pangpang nagbarog dapit sa amihanan atubangan sa Mikmas, ug ang lain sa habagatan atubangan sa Gabaa.
6 Jonathan said to the young man who carried his weapons, “Come with me. We will go to where those (pagans/people who do not believe in Yahweh) [MTY] have set up their tents. Perhaps Yahweh will help us. It does not matter whether we are only two men or many people; nothing can hinder Yahweh from enabling us to defeat them.”
Miingon si Jonatan sa batan-ong tigdala sa iyang hinagiban, “Dali, adtoon ta ang kampo niining mga walay tuli nga katawhan. Tingali ug mamuhat si Yahweh alang kanato, kay wala gayoy makapugong kang Yahweh sa pagluwas sa kadaghanan o sa diyutay lamang nga mga tawo.”
7 The young man who was carrying Jonathan’s weapons said, “Do what you think is the best thing for us to do. I will help you.”
Mitubag ang batan-ong tigdala sa iyang hinagiban, “Buhata ang tanan nga anaa sa imong kasingkasing. Padayon, kay tan-awa, magauban ako kanimo, sa pagtuman sa tanan mong mga sugo.”
8 Then Jonathan said, “Okay, come with me. We will cross the valley to where the Philistia army is, and allow them to see us.
Unya miingon si Jonatan, “Moagi kita sa mga tawo ug magpakita kita ngadto kanila.
9 If they then say to us, ‘You two stay there until we come down to you,’ we will stay there and not go up to them.
Kung moingon sila kanato 'Pabilin usa diha hangtod nga makaanha kami kaninyo'—nan magpabilin lamang kita sa atong nahimutanangan ug dili moadto kanila.
10 But if they say to us, ‘Come up here [and fight against] us,’ that will show us that Yahweh will enable us to defeat them. Then we will go up and fight them.”
Apan kung motubag sila, 'Duol kamo kanamo,' nan moadto kita; tungod kay gitugyan sila ni Yahweh sa atong mga kamot. Mao kini ang atong ilhanan.”
11 When the two of them crossed the valley, the Philistia soldiers saw them coming. They said, “Look! The Hebrews are crawling out of the holes in which they have been hiding!”
Busa nagpakita silang duha sa ilang kaugalingon sa kampo sa mga Filistihanon. Miingon ang mga Filistihanon, “Tan-awa, nanggawas na sa mga lungag ang mga Hebreohanon kung asa sila nagtago.”
12 Then the Philistia soldiers who were closest to Jonathan and the young man who carried his weapons said, “Come up here, and we will teach you something [about how to fight] [IDM]!” Jonathan said to the young man who was with him, “Come behind me and climb up, because Yahweh is going to help us to defeat them!”
Unya gitawag si Jonatan sa mga tawo nga anaa sa kampo ug ang batan-on nga tigdala sa iyang hinagiban, ug miingon, “Saka kamo nganhi kanamo, ug may ipakita kami kaninyo.” Miingon si Jonatan sa tigdala sa iyang hinagiban, “Sunod kanako, tungod kay gitugyan sila ni Yahweh sa kamot sa Israel.”
13 So Jonathan climbed up, using his hands and his feet [because it was very steep]. The young man climbed up following him. As Jonathan climbed, he struck and killed many Philistia soldiers, and the young man who was with him killed many more as he followed behind Jonathan.
Misaka si Jonatan gamit ang iyang mga kamot ug mga tiil, ug misunod ang tigdala sa iyang hinagiban. Gipangpatay ni Jonatan ang mga Filistihanon ug ang tigdala sa iyang hinagiban mipatay sa pipila kanila nga nagsunod kaniya.
14 In that first battle the two of them killed about 20 Philistia soldiers in an area that was about half an acre.
Kana ang unang pagsulong nga gibuhat ni Jonatan ug sa tigdala sa iyang hinagiban, mikabat sa 20 ka tawo ang napatay niadtong dapita nga katunga sa usa ka ektarya.
15 Then all the other Philistia soldiers, the ones in the camp and the ones who had been attacking the Israeli towns, ones who were out in the field much closer, panicked. Then God caused the ground to shake, and they all became terrified/very afraid.
Adunay kaguliyang sulod sa kampo, sa kapatagan, ug taliwala sa katawhan. Bisan ang kasundalohan sa kampo ug ang mga nagkabayo nagngalisang. Naglinog, ug adunay dakong kaguliyang nga nahitabo.
16 Saul’s (lookouts/men who were watching to see if enemies were coming) were in Gibeah [town] in the land of the tribe of Benjamin. They saw that the soldiers of the Philistia army were running away in all directions.
Unya sa pagtan-aw sa mga magbalantay ni Saul nga anaa sa Gabaon sa Benjamin; nagkatibulaag ang pundok sa kasundalohan sa mga Filistihanon, ug nagpanganhi sila ug nagpangadto.
17 Saul [realized that some of his soldiers must have attacked the Philistia army. So he] said to the soldiers who were with him, “Check to see if any of our men are not here.” So they checked, and they found out that Jonathan and the man who carried his weapons were gone.
Unya miingon si Saul sa katawhan nga atua uban kaniya, “Ihapa ug susiha kung kinsa ang nawala gikan kanato.” Sa pag-ihap nila, wala didto si Jonatan ug ang tigdala sa iyang hinagiban.
18 So Saul said to Ahijah [the Supreme Priest], “Bring the sacred vest here [and find out what we should do].” On that day Ahijah was wearing the sacred vest, going in front of the Israelis.
Miingon si Saul kang Ahija, “Dad-a dinhi ang arka sa Dios,” kay niadtong taknaa anaa man kini sa katawhan sa Israel.
19 But while Saul was talking to the priest, [he saw that] the Philistia soldiers were becoming more panicked/confused. So Saul said to Ahijah, “Take your hand down [from the sacred vest. Do not waste any more time using the marked stones in the vest to find out what Yahweh wants us to do.”]
Samtang nakigsulti si Saul sa pari, ang kasamok sa kampo sa mga Filistihanon nagpadayon ug nagkadako. Unya giingnan ni Saul ang pari, “Buhii nalang kana.”
20 Then Saul gathered his men and they went toward the battle. They found that the Philistia soldiers were so confused that they were striking each other with their swords.
Si Saul ug ang tibuok katawhan nga uban kaniya nagtigom ug miasdang ngadto sa panggubatan. Ang espada sa matag Filistihanon nakigbatok sa iyang kaubanan nga lomulupyo, ug adunay hilabihang pagkalibog.
21 Before that, some of the Hebrew men had deserted their army and gone to join with the Philistia army. But now those men [revolted and] joined with Saul and Jonathan and the other Israeli soldiers.
Karon, kadtong mga Hebreohanon nga uban kaniadto sa mga Filistihanon, ug nagpuyo uban kanila sa kampo, nakig-abin sila sa mga Israelita nga uban ni Saul ug ni Jonatan.
22 Some of the Israeli soldiers had previously run away and hidden in the mountains where the tribe of Ephraim lived. But when they heard that the Philistia soldiers were running away, they [came down and] joined the other Israeli soldiers and pursued the Philistia soldiers.
Sa pagkadungog sa tibuok katawhan nga nagtago sa kabungtoran duol sa Efraim nga nanagan ang mga Filistihanon, bisan sila migukod usab kanila diha sa gubat.
23 So Yahweh rescued the Israelis on that day. The Israeli soldiers continued to pursue their enemies beyond Beth-Aven [town].
Busa giluwas ni Yahweh ang Israel niadtong adlawa, ug ang gubat milapas pa ngadto sa Bet-aven.
24 Before Saul’s soldiers went to the battle, Saul declared to them solemnly, “I do not want any of you to eat any food before this evening, before we have defeated all our enemies. If anyone eats anything, [Yahweh] will curse/punish him.” So none of the Israeli soldiers ate any food, and they became faint/weak because they were very hungry.
Nianang adlawa nangaguol ang katawhan sa Israel tungod kay nanumpa man si Saul sa katawhan ug miingon, “Matinunglo ang tawong mokaon sa bisan unsang kalan-on hangtod sa kagabhion ug ako magapanimalos sa akong mga kaaway.” Busa walay bisan usa sa ka mga sundalo ang mitilaw ug pagkaon.
25 The Israeli army went into the forest, and they found honeycombs on the ground, but they did not eat any honey.
Unya misulod ang tibuok katawhan sa lasang ug adunay dugos didto sa yuta.
26 They were afraid to eat any, because they had solemnly promised that they would not eat any food.
Sa dihang nakasulod na ang katawhan sa lasang, midagayday ang dugos, apan walay si bisan kinsa nga nagbutang sa iyang kamot sa iyang baba kay ang katawhan nahadlok man sa panumpa.
27 But Jonathan did not hear what his father commanded [because he had left the camp very early in the morning]. So [when he saw] a honeycomb, he dipped the end of his walking stick into it and ate some honey. After he ate the honey, he felt stronger.
Apan si Jonatan wala makadungog sa pagpanumpa sa iyang amahan alang sa katawhan. Gituy-od niya ang tumoy sa sungkod nga anaa sa iyang kamot ug gituslob kini sa dugos. Gibutang niya ang iyang kamot ngadto sa iyang baba, ug mihayag ang iyang panan-aw.
28 But one of the Israeli soldiers saw him and said to him, “Your father solemnly declared to us that [Yahweh] would curse/punish anyone who ate any food today. So now we are [very tired and] weak from being hungry [because we obeyed him].”
Unya ang usa sa mga tawo, miingon, “Ang imong amahan hugtanon nga nanumpa sa katawhan, pinaagi sa pagsulti, 'Matinunglo ang tawo nga mokaon sa kalan-on niining adlawa,' bisan pa man kung naluya na ang katawhan tungod sa kagutom.”
29 Jonathan exclaimed, “My father has caused trouble for all of us! See how refreshed/strong I am after eating a little honey!
Unya miingon si Jonatan, “Ang akong amahan nagpasamok sa yuta. Tan-awa kung giunsa paghayag sa akong panan-aw tungod kay nakatilaw ako ug diyutay niining dugosa.
30 If he had permitted all of us to eat from the food we took from our enemies while we were pursuing them, we would have been able to kill many more of their soldiers!”
Unsa pa kaha kung gitugotan ang katawhan sa pagkaon karong adlawa sa inilog gikan sa ilang mga kaaaway nga ilang nakaplagan? Tungod kiini gamay ra ang ilang napatay nga mga Filistihanon.”
31 The Israelis pursued and killed Philistia soldiers all that day, from Micmash [town west] to Aijalon. But they continued to become weaker from being hungry.
Gisulong nila ang mga Filistihanon nianang adlawa gikan sa Mikmas hangtod sa Aijalon. Gipangkapoy gayod ang katawhan.
32 They had taken [many] sheep and cattle that the Philistia soldiers had abandoned. Now, because they were extremely hungry, they butchered some of those animals and ate the meat without draining the blood from the animals.
Nag-inilogay ang katawhan sa inilog ug nanguha sa mga karnero, mga torong baka ug sa mga nating baka, ug gipang-ihaw nila kini sa yuta. Unya nangaon niini ang katawhan lakip ang dugo.
33 One of the soldiers told Saul, “Look! The men are sinning against Yahweh by eating meat that still has blood in it!” Saul replied [to the men who were near him], “They have disobeyed Yahweh! Roll a large stone over here!”
Unya gisultihan nila si Saul, “Tan-awa, nagpakasala ang katawhan batok kang Yahweh pinaagi sa pagkaon lakip ang dugo.” Miingon si Saul, “Nagmaluibon kamo. Karon, ipaligid ang dakong bato dinhi kanako.”
34 After they did that, he said to those men, “Go and tell all the soldiers that each of them must bring an ox or a sheep to me, and kill it here on this stone, [and drain the blood] before he eats any of the meat. They should not sin against Yahweh by eating meat [from some animal] without draining its blood.” So that night all the soldiers brought animals and slaughtered them there. Then Saul built an altar to [worship] Yahweh.
Miingon si Saul, “Adto kamo sa katawhan, ug sultihi sila, 'Padad-a ang tagsatagsa ka tawo sa iyang torong baka ug sa iyang karnero, ihawa kini dinhi, ug kan-a. Ayaw kamo pagpakasala batok kang Yahweh pinaagi sa pagkaon lakip ang dugo.'” Busa nagdala ang matag usa ka tawo sa iyang kaugalingong torong baka niadtong gabhiona ug giihaw kini didto.
35 That was the first [time that he built an] altar for Yahweh.
Nagtukod si Saul ug halaran alang kang Yahweh nga mao ang unang halaran nga gibuhat ni Saul alang kang Yahweh.
36 Then Saul said [to the Israeli soldiers], “Let’s pursue the Philistia soldiers tonight. We can attack them all night. We will not allow any of them to escape alive.” The Israeli soldiers answered, “We will do whatever you think is the best thing for us to do.” But the priest said, “We should ask Yahweh [what he thinks we should do].”
Unya miingon si Saul, “Gukdon ta ang mga Filistihanon sa kagabhion ug ilogan sila hangtod sa kabuntagon; dili kita magbilin bisan usa ka buhi.” Mitubag sila, “Buhata ang gituohan mong maayo.” Apan miingon ang pari, “Moduol una kita sa Dios dinhi.”
37 So Saul asked God, “Should we pursue the Philistine soldiers? Will you enable us to defeat them?” But God did not answer Saul that day.
Nangutana si Saul sa Dios, “Angay ko bang gukdon ang mga Filistihanon? Itugyan mo ba sila sa kamot sa Israel?” Apan wala mitubag ang Dios kaniya nianang adlawa.
38 Then Saul summoned all the leaders of his army. He said to them, “[I am sure that God has not answered me because] someone has sinned. We must find out what sin someone has committed.
Unya miingon si Saul, “Paduol kamo dinhi, kamong tanan nga pangulo sa katawhan; sayra ug susiha kung giunsa pagkahitabo kining sala karong adlawa.
39 Yahweh has rescued us [from the Philistia army]. Just as certain as Yahweh lives, whoever has sinned must be executed. Even if it is my son Jonathan who has sinned, he must be executed.” [His men knew who was guilty], but none of them said anything [to Saul].
Kay, ingon nga buhi si Yahweh, nga nagluwas sa Israel, bisan pa kung si Jonatan kini nga akong anak nga lalaki, sigurado gayod nga mamatay siya.” Apan walay si bisan kinsa taliwala sa kalalakihan ang mitubag kaniya.
40 Then Saul said to all the Israeli soldiers, “You stand on one side. My son Jonathan and I will stand on the other side.” His men replied, “Do whatever you think is best.”
Unya miingon siya sa tibuok Israel, “Kinahanglan mobarog kamo didto sa pikas bahin, ug sa atbang ako ug si Jonatan ang akong anak nga lalaki. Miingon ang katawhan kang Saul, “Buhata ang gituohan mong maayo alang kanimo.”
41 Then Saul prayed to Yahweh, the Israelis’ God, “Tell me who is guilty and who is not guilty.” Then the priest (cast lots/threw the stones that were marked), and they indicated that it was [either] Jonathan or Saul who was the guilty one, and that the other men were not guilty.
Busa miingon si Saul kang Yahweh, ang Dios sa Israel, “Ipadayag ang Thummim.” Napilian sa pagripa si Jonatan ug si Saul, apan wala mapilii ang katawhan.
42 Then Saul said to the priest, “Throw the stones again to indicate which of us two is guilty.” So he did, and the stones indicated that Jonathan was the guilty one.
Unya miingon si Saul, “Pagripa taliwala kanako ug sa akong anak nga lalaki nga si Jonatan.” Unya ang napili mao si Jonatan.
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done [that was wrong].” Jonathan replied, “I ate a little bit of honey. It was only a little bit that was on the end of my stick. Do I [deserve to be] executed [because of doing that]?”
Unya miingon si Saul kang Jonatan, “Sultihi ako kung unsa ang imong nabuhat.” Miingon si Jonatan kaniya, “Mitilaw ako sa diyutay nga dugos pinaagi sa tumoy sa akong sungkod nga diha sa akong kamot. Ania ako; mamatay gayod ako.”
44 Saul replied, “Yes, you must be executed! I hope/wish that God will strike me and kill me if you are not executed for having done that!”
Miingon si Saul, “Ang Dios ang magabuhat niana ug labaw na usab kanako, kung dili ka mamatay, Jonatan.”
45 But the Israeli soldiers said to Saul, “Jonathan has won a great victory for all us Israelis. Should he be executed for eating some honey [RHQ]? Certainly not! Just as surely as Yahweh lives, we will not allow you to injure him in any manner [IDM], [because] today God helped Jonathan [to kill many soldiers of the Philistia army]!” So [by saying that] the Israeli soldiers rescued Jonathan, and he was not executed.
Unya miingon ang katawhan kang Saul, “Angay bang mamatay si Jonatan, nga naghimo niining dakong kadaugan alang sa Israel? Dili gayod! Ingon nga buhi si Yahweh, wala gayoy mahulog nga bisan usa sa iyang buhok sa iyang ulo ngadto sa yuta, kay namuhat siya uban sa Dios karong adlawa.” Busa giluwas sa katawhan si Jonatan aron dili siya mamatay.
46 Then Saul ordered his soldiers to stop pursuing the Philistia army, so the Philistia soldiers returned to their homes.
Unya mihunong na sa paggukod si Saul sa mga Filistihanon, ug namauli ang mga Filistihanon sa ilang kaugalingong dapit.
47 After Saul became the ruler/king of the Israeli people, his army fought against their enemies in many areas. They fought against armies of the Moab people-group, the Ammon people-group, the Edom people-group, the kings of Zobah [city/area], and the Philistia people-group. Wherever the Israeli army fought, they defeated their enemies.
Sa pagsugod ni Saul sa paghari sa Israel, nakig-away siya batok sa tanan niyang kaaway bisan asa. Nakig-away siya batok sa Moab, sa mga Amonihanon, sa taga-Edom, sa mga hari sa Soba, ug sa mga Filistihanon. Bisan asa siya makaliso, naghimo siya ug pagsilot kanila.
48 Saul’s army fought bravely and defeated the [very tall] descendants of Amalek. His army rescued the Israelis from those who had (plundered/forcefully taken things from) them.
Nagmaisogon gayod siya ug gipildi ang mga Amalekanhon. Giluwas niya ang Israel gikan sa mga kamot niadtong nanulis kanila.
49 Saul’s sons were Jonathan, Ishbosheth, and Malchishua. He also had two daughters, Merab and her younger sister Michal.
Ang mga anak nga lalaki ni Saul mao sila si Jonatan, si Ishvi, ug si Malchishua. Ang ngalan sa iyang duha ka mga anak nga babaye mao sila si Merab, ang kamagulangan, ug ang kamanghoran mao si Mical.
50 Saul’s wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz. The commander of Saul’s army was Abner, who was the son of Saul’s uncle Ner.
Ang ngalan sa asawa ni Saul mao si Ahinoam; anak siya nga babaye ni Ahimaas. Ang ngalan sa pangulo sa iyang kasundalohan mao si Abner ang anak nga lalaki ni Ner, nga uyoan ni Saul.
51 Saul’s father Kish and Abner’s father Ner were both sons of Abiel.
Si Kis mao ang amahan ni Saul; ug si Ner nga amahan ni Abner, mao ang anak nga lalaki ni Abiel.
52 All the time that Saul was alive, his army fought against the Philistia army. And whenever Saul saw a young man who was (brave/not afraid to fight) and strong, he forced him to join his army.
Adunay gubat kanunay batok sa mga Filistihanon sa tanang adlaw ni Saul. Sa dihang makakita si Saul ug tawong kusgan, o tawong lig-on, ipaduol niya ang iyang kaugalingon kaniya.
