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].
Isang araw, sinabi ni Jonatan na anak na lalaki ni Saul sa kanyang batang tagapagdala ng baluti, “Halika, pumunta tayo sa kuta ng mga Filisteo sa kabilang panig.” Subalit hindi niya sinabihan ang kanyang ama.
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.
Nanatili si Saul sa dakong labas ng bayan ng Gibea sa ilalim ng punong granada na nasa Migron. Mga anim na raang kalalakihan ang kasama niya,
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].
kasama si Ahias anak na lalaki ni Ahitob (kapatid na lalaki ni Icabod) anak na lalaki ni Pinehas na anak na lalaki ni Eli, ang pari ni Yahweh sa Shilo, na nakasuot ng isang epod. Hindi alam ng mga tao na nawala 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 pagitan ng mga lagusan, na nilalayon ni Jonatan na tawirin papunta sa kuta ng mga Filisteo, may isang mabatong talampas sa isang bahagi, at isang mabatong talampas sa isa pang bahagi. Ang pangalan ng isang talampas ay Bozez, at ang pangalan ng isa pa ay Sene.
5 One cliff faced north toward Micmash, and the cliff on the other side faced south toward Geba [town].
Ang isang matarik na talampas ay pumaitaas sa hilaga sa harap ng Micmas, at ang isa sa timog sa harap ng Geba.
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.”
Sinabi ni Jonatan sa kanyang batang tagapagdala ng baluti, “Halika, tumawid tayo papunta sa kuta nitong mga taong di tuli. Maaring kumilos si Yahweh sa ngalan natin, sapagkat walang makakapigil kay Yahweh mula sa pagligtas sa pamamagitan ng marami o kaunting tao.”
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.”
Sumagot ang kanyang tagapagdala ng baluti, “Gawin mo ang lahat ng bagay na nasa puso mo. Sige, tingnan mo, kasama mo ako upang sundin ang lahat ng mga iniutos mo.”
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.
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Jonatan, “Tatawid tayo papunta sa mga kalalakihan, at ilalantad natin ang ating mga sarili sa 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.
Kapag sasabihin nila sa atin, “Maghintay kayo diyan hanggang sa dumating kami sa inyo'—kung gayon mananatili tayo sa ating lugar at hindi tatawid papunta sa 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.”
Subalit kung sasagot sila, 'Pumunta kayo dito sa amin,' kung gayon tatawid tayo; dahil ibinigay sila ni Yahweh sa atin. Ito ang magiging tanda sa atin.”
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!”
Kaya pareho nilang inilantad ang kanilang mga sarili sa kuta ng mga Filisteo. Sinabi ng mga Palestina, “Masdan ninyo, ang mga Hebreo ay lumalabas sa mga butas kung saan sila nagtatago.”
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!”
Pagkatapos tumawag ang kalalakihan ng kampo kina Jonatan at sa kanyang tagapagdala ng baluti, at sinabi, “Umakyat kayo dito sa amin, at papakitaan namin kayo ng isang bagay.” Sinabi ni Jonatan sa kanyang tagapagdala ng baluti, “Sumunod ka sa akin, dahil ibinigay sila ni Yahweh sa kamay ng 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.
Umakyat si Jonatan gamit ang kanyang mga kamay at paa, at sumunod sa kanyang likuran ang kanyang tagapagdala ng baluti. Pinatay ni Jonatan ang mga Filisteo sa harapan, at pinatay ng kanyang tagapagdala ng baluti sa kanyang likuran.
14 In that first battle the two of them killed about 20 Philistia soldiers in an area that was about half an acre.
Iyan ang unang pagsalakay na ginawa nina Jonatan at kanyang tagapagdala ng baluti, nakapatay ng halos dalawampung kalalakihan sa loob ng halos kalahati ng haba ng isang tudling sa isang ektarya ng lupa.
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.
May isang kaguluhan sa kampo, sa bukid, at sa mga tao. Kahit na ang kuta at ang mananalakay ay nagkagulo. Lumindol ang mundo, at may isang malawakang kaguluhan.
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.
Pagkatapos tumingin ang mga bantay ni Saul sa Gibea ng Benjamin; ang pangkat ng mga ni Jonatan ay naghiwa-hiwalay, at sila ay nagpaparoon at parito.
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.
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Saul sa mga tao na kasama niya, “Magbilang kayo at hanapin ninyo kung sino ang nawawala sa atin.” Nang mabilang nila, si Jonatan at ang kanyang tagapagdala ng baluti ang mga nawawala.
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.
Sinabi ni Saul kay Ahias, “Dalhin ang epod ng Diyos dito”—sapagkat isinuot ni Ahias ang epod nang araw na iyon kasama ng mga sundalo ng 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.”]
Habang nagsasalita si Saul sa pari, ang kaguluhan sa kampo ng mga ni Filisteo ay nagpatuloy at lumalawak. Pagkatapos sinabi ni Saul sa pari, “Alisin ang iyong kamay.”
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.
Nagsama-sama si Saul at lahat ng mga taong kasama niya at pumunta sa labanan. Ang bawat espada ng ni Jonatan ay laban sa kanyang kapwa tao, at nagkaroon ng matinding kalituhan.
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.
Ngayon iyong mga Hebreo na dati ay kasama ng mga ni Filisteo at iyong kasama nila sa kampo, kahit sila ay umanib sa mga Israelita na kasama nila Saul at 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.
Nang tinago ng lahat ng kalalakihan ng Israel ang kanilang sarili sa mga burol malapit sa Efraim narinig nila na tumatakas ang mga Filisteo, kahit na hinabol sa nila sila sa labanan.
23 So Yahweh rescued the Israelis on that day. The Israeli soldiers continued to pursue their enemies beyond Beth-Aven [town].
Kaya iniligtas ni Yahweh ang Israel nang araw na iyon, at lumagpas ang labanan sa dako ng Beth-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.
Sa araw na iyon ang kalalakihan ng Israel ay nabalisa dahil inilagay ni Saul ang mga tao sa ilalim ng isang panunumpa at sinabi, “Susumpain ang taong kakain ng anumang pagkain hanggang gabi at naipaghiganti ako sa aking mga kaaway.” Kaya wala sa mga hukbo ang tumikim ng pagkain.
25 The Israeli army went into the forest, and they found honeycombs on the ground, but they did not eat any honey.
Pagkatapos pumasok ng kagubatan ang lahat ng mga tao at may mga pulot sa ibabaw ng lupa.
26 They were afraid to eat any, because they had solemnly promised that they would not eat any food.
Nang pumasok ang mga tao sa kagubatan, dumaloy ang pulot, subalit wala ni isa ang naglagay ng kanyang kamay sa kanyang bibig dahil kinatakutan ng mga tao ang panunumpa.
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.
Subalit hindi narinig ni Jonatan na binigkis ng kanyang ama ang mga tao sa isang panunumpa. Inabot niya ang dulo ng kanyang tungkod na nasa kanyang kamay at inilublob ito sa pulot-pukyutan. Itinaas niya ang kanyang kamay sa kanyang bibig, at lumiwanag ang kanyang mga mata.
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].”
Pagkatapos sumagot ang isa sa mga tao, “Mahigpit na binilinan ng iyong ama ang mga tao ng may panunumpa, sa pagsasabing, 'Susumpain ang tao na kakain ng pagkain sa araw na ito,' kahit na mahina na ang mga tao mula sa gutom.”
29 Jonathan exclaimed, “My father has caused trouble for all of us! See how refreshed/strong I am after eating a little honey!
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Jonatan, “Gumawa ang ama ko ng gulo sa lupain. Masdan kung paano lumiwanag ang aking mga mata dahil tumikim ako ng kaunti ng pulot na ito.
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!”
Ano pa kaya kung malayang kumain ang mga tao ngayon sa pandarambong mula sa kanilang mga kaaway na kanilang natagpuan? Subalit ngayon ang patayan ay hindi matindi sa mga Filisteo.”
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.
Sinalakay nila ang mga Filisteo sa araw na iyon mula Micmas hanggang Ahilon. Pagod na pagod ang mga tao.
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.
Sumugod nang may kasakiman ang mga tao sa pandarambong at kumuha ng mga tupa, mga baka at mga bisiro, at pinatay ang mga ito sa lupa. Kinain ng mga tao ang mga ito kasama 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!”
Pagkatapos sinabihan nila si Saul, “Tingnan mo, nagkakasala ang mga tao laban kay Yahweh sa pamamagitan ng pagkain na may dugo.” Sinabi ni Saul, “Kumilos kayo ng hindi tapat. Ngayon, magpagulong kayo ng isang malaking bato dito sa akin.”
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.
Sinabi ni Saul, “Pumunta kayo sa mga tao, at sabihan sila, 'Hayaang dalhin ng bawat tao ang kanyang kapong baka at kanyang mga tupa, patayin ang mga ito dito, at kainin. Huwag magkasala laban kay Yahweh sa pamamagitan ng pagkain kasama ang dugo.'” Kaya dinala ng bawat tao ang kanyang sariling kapong baka kasama niya nang gabing iyon at pinatay ang mga ito roon.
35 That was the first [time that he built an] altar for Yahweh.
Gumawa si Saul ng isang altar kay Yahweh, na naging unang altar na ginawa niya kay 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].”
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Saul, “Habulin natin ang mga Filisteo sa gabi at dambungan sila hanggang umaga; huwag tayong magtira ng buhay sa isa sa kanila.” Sumagot sila, “Gawin kung anong sa tingin mo ay mabuti.” Subalit sinabi ng pari, “Lapitan natin ang Diyos dito.”
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.
Tinanong ni Saul ang Diyos, “Dapat ko bang habulin ang mga Filisteo? Ibibigay mo ba sila sa kamay ng Israel?” Subalit hindi siya sinagot ng Diyos nang araw na iyon.
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.
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Saul, “Pumarito kayo, lahat kayong mga pinuno ng mga tao; matuto kayo at tingnan kung paano nangyari ang kasalanang ito ngayon.
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].
Sapagkat, habang nabubuhay si Yahweh, siyang nagligtas sa Israel, kahit na ito ay si Jonatan na anak kong lalaki, siya ay tiyak na mamamatay.” Subalit wala sa kalalakihan sa mga tao ang sumagot sa 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.”
Pagkatapos sinabi niya sa buong Israel, “Dapat kayong tumayo sa isang panig, at ako at si Jonatan na aking anak ay sa kabila.” Sinabi ng mga tao kay Saul, “Gawin mo kung ano ang mukhang mabuti para sa iyo.”
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.
Kaya nga sinabi ni Saul kay Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israel, “Ipakita ang ginamit sa palabunutan.” Sina Jonatan at Saul ang nakuha sa palabunutan, subalit nakaligtas ang mga tao mula sa pagpili.
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.
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Saul, “Magpalabunutan tayo sa pagitan ko at sa aking anak na si Jonatan.” Pagkatapos nakuha si Jonatan sa palabunutan.
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]?”
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Saul kay Jonatan, “Sabihan mo ako kung ano ang nagawa mo.” Sinabihan siya ni Jonatan, “Tumikim ako ng kaunting pulot gamit ang dulo ng bara na nasa aking kamay. Narito ako; mamamatay 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!”
Sinabi ni Saul, “Gawin ng Diyos at higit din sa akin, kung hindi 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.
Pagkatapos sinabi ng mga tao kay Saul, “Dapat bang mamatay si Jonatan, na siyang nagdala nitong dakilang tagumpay para sa Israel? Higit pa rito! Habang nabubuhay si Yahweh, walang isang buhok sa kanyang ulo ang mahuhulog sa lupa, dahil kumilos siya kasama ang Diyos ngayon.” Kaya iniligtas ng mga tao si Jonatan kaya hindi siya namatay.
46 Then Saul ordered his soldiers to stop pursuing the Philistia army, so the Philistia soldiers returned to their homes.
Pagkatapos pinatigil ni Saul ang pagtugis sa mga Filisteo, at pumunta ang mga Filisteo sa kanilang sariling lugar.
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.
Nang magsimula si Saul na mamuno sa Israel, nakipaglaban siya sa lahat ng kanyang mga kaaway sa bawat panig. Nakipaglaban siya sa Moab, sa mga tao ng Ammon, Edom, sa mga hari ng Zobah, at sa mga Filisteo. Saan man siya bumaling, nagpatupad siya ng parusa sa 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.
Kumilos siya na may kagitingan at tinalo ang mga Amalekita. Iniligtas niya ang Israel mula sa mga kamay ng mga dumambong sa kanila.
49 Saul’s sons were Jonathan, Ishbosheth, and Malchishua. He also had two daughters, Merab and her younger sister Michal.
Ang mga anak na lalaki ni Saul ay sina Jonatan, Isui, at Melquisua. Ang mga pangalan ng kanyang dalawang anak na babae ay Merab, ang panganay, at Mical, ang nakababata.
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 pangalan ng asawa ni Saul ay Ahinoam; siya ang anak na babae ni Ahimaaz. Ang pangalan ng kapitan ng kanyang hukbo ay Abner anak na lalaki ni Ner, tiyuhin ni Saul.
51 Saul’s father Kish and Abner’s father Ner were both sons of Abiel.
Si Kish ang ama ni Saul; at si Ner, ang ama ni Abner, na anak na 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.
May matinding labanan laban sa mga Filisteo sa lahat ng araw ni Saul. Kapag makakita si Saul ng sinumang malakas na tao, o sinumang matapang na tao, inilalapit niya ang kanyang sarili.
