1 Samuel 17
1 The Philistines gathered their army [to fight the Israeli army]. They gathered together near Socoh, in the area where the descendants of Judah lived. They set up their tents at Ephes-Dammim, which is between Socoh and Azekah.
Ngayo'y pinisan ng mga Filisteo ang kanilang hukbo upang bumaka at sila'y nagpipisan sa Socho, na nauukol sa Juda, at nagsihantong sa pagitan ng Socho at ng Azeca, sa Ephesdammim.
2 Saul gathered the Israeli army near Elah Valley, and they set up their tents. Then they all took their places, ready to fight the Philistines.
At nagpipisan si Saul at ang mga lalake ng Israel, at nagsihantong sa libis ng Ela, at nagsihanay sa pakikipagbaka laban sa mga Filisteo.
3 So the Philistine and Israeli armies faced each other. They were on two hills, with a valley between them.
At nagsitayo ang mga Filisteo sa isang dako sa bundok, at tumayo ang Israel sa kabilang dako sa bundok: at may isang libis sa pagitan nila.
4 Then Goliath, from Gath [city], came out from the Philistine camp. He was a champion warrior/soldier. He was (over 9 feet/3 meters) tall.
At lumabas ang isang bayani sa kampamento ng mga Filisteo na nagngangalang Goliath, taga Gath, na ang taas ay anim na siko at isang dangkal.
5 He wore a helmet made of bronze [to protect his head], and he wore a coat made of metal plates [to protect his body]. The coat weighed (125 pounds/56 kg.).
At siya'y mayroong isang turbanteng tanso, sa kaniyang ulo, at siya'y nasusuutan ng isang baluti sa katawan; at ang bigat ng baluti ay limang libong siklong tanso.
6 He wore bronze guards/protectors on his legs. He had a long bronze dagger fastened on his back.
At siya'y mayroong kasuutang tanso sa kaniyang mga hita, at isang sibat na tanso sa pagitan ng kaniyang mga balikat.
7 He also had a big spear. It had a cord on it to enable him to throw it better (OR, which was as thick as a weaver’s beam). The tip of the spear was made of iron and weighed (15 pounds/almost 7 kg.). A soldier carrying a huge shield walked in front of him.
At ang puluhan ng kaniyang sibat ay gaya ng panghabi ng manghahabi; at ang dulo ng kaniyang sibat ay may anim na raang siklong bakal ang bigat: at ang kaniyang tagadala ng kalasag ay nauuna sa kaniya.
8 Goliath stood there and shouted to the Israeli army, “Why are you all lined up for battle? I am the great Philistine [soldier], and I think [RHQ] you are [merely] Saul’s slaves. Choose one man to fight for all of you, and send him down here to me!
At siya'y tumayo at humiyaw sa mga hukbo ng Israel, at nagsabi sa kanila, Bakit kayo'y lumabas na nagsihanay sa pakikipagbaka? hindi ba ako'y Filisteo, at kayo'y mga lingkod ni Saul? pumili kayo ng isang lalake sa inyo, at pababain ninyo siya sa akin.
9 If he fights with me and kills me, then my fellow Philistines will all be your slaves. But if I defeat him and kill him, then you Israelis will all be our slaves.
Kung siya'y makalaban sa akin at mapatay ako, magiging alipin nga ninyo kami; nguni't kung ako'y manaig laban sa kaniya, at mapatay ko siya ay magiging alipin nga namin kayo at maglilingkod sa amin.
10 I defy/challenge you men of the Israeli army. Send me a man who will fight with me!”
At sinabi ng Filisteo, Aking hinahamon ang mga hukbo ng Israel sa araw na ito; bigyan ninyo ako ng isang lalake, upang maglaban kami.
11 When Saul and all the Israeli soldiers heard that, they were extremely terrified [DOU].
At nang marinig ni Saul at ng buong Israel ang mga salitang yaon ng Filisteo, sila'y nanglupaypay, at natakot na mainam.
12 David was the son of Jesse. Jesse was from the clan of Ephrath. He lived in Bethlehem, in the area where the descendants of Judah lived. Jesse had eight sons. When Saul [was king], Jesse had already become a very old man [DOU].
Si David nga ay anak niyaong Ephrateo sa Bethlehem-juda, na ang pangala'y Isai; at may walong anak: at ang lalaking yaon ay matanda na sa mga kaarawan ni Saul na totoong napakatanda sa gitna ng mga tao.
13 Jesse’s three oldest sons, Eliab and Abinadab and Shammah, had gone with Saul to fight [the Philistines].
At ang tatlong pinakamatandang anak ni Isai ay naparoong sumunod kay Saul sa pakikipagbaka: at ang mga pangalan ng kaniyang tatlong anak na naparoon sa pakikipagbaka ay si Eliab na panganay, at ang kasunod niya ay si Abinadab, at ang ikatlo ay si Samma.
14 David was Jesse’s youngest son. While his three oldest brothers were with Saul,
At si David ang bunso: at ang tatlong pinakamatanda ay sumunod kay Saul.
15 David went back and forth: Sometimes he went to Saul’s camp, and sometimes he stayed in Bethlehem to take care of his father’s sheep.
Nguni't si David ay nagpaparoo't parito mula kay Saul upang pasabsabin ang mga tupa ng kaniyang ama sa Bethlehem.
16 For 40 days Goliath came out from the Philistine camp and stood there [taunting the Israeli army/telling the Israelis to choose one man to fight with him]. He did it twice each day, once in the morning and once in the evening.
At lumalapit ang Filisteo sa umaga at hapon, at humarap na apat na pung araw.
17 [One day], Jesse said to David, “Here is a sack of roasted grain and ten loaves of bread. Take these quickly to your [older] brothers.
At sinabi ni Isai kay David na kaniyang anak, Dalhin mo ngayon sa iyong mga kapatid ang isang epa nitong trigo na sinangag, at itong sangpung tinapay, at dalhin mong madali sa kampamento, sa iyong mga kapatid;
18 And here are ten large chunks of cheese. Take them to their commander. And see how things are going with your [older] brothers. Then [if they are okay, ] bring back something to show they are all right.”
At dalhin mo ang sangpung kesong ito sa kapitan ng kanilang libo, at tingnan mo kung ano ang kalagayan ng iyong mga kapatid, at kumuha ka ng pinakakatunayan.
19 His brothers were with Saul and all the other Israeli soldiers, camped alongside Elah Valley, [preparing to] fight the Philistines.
Si Saul nga, at sila at ang lahat ng mga lalake ng Israel ay nasa libis ng Ela, na nakikipaglaban sa mga Filisteo.
20 So David arranged for another shepherd to take care of the sheep. Early the next morning he took the food and went to the Israeli camp, as Jesse told him to do. He arrived there just as the Israeli soldiers were forming their ranks and going out to the battlefield. As they went, they were shouting a war cry.
At si David ay bumangong maaga sa kinaumagahan, at iniwan ang tupa na may isang tagapagalaga, at nagdala at yumaon, na gaya ng iniutos sa kaniya ni Isai; at siya'y naparoon sa kinaroroonan ng mga karo, habang ang hukbo na lumalabas sa pakikipaglaban ay sumisigaw ng pakikipagbaka.
21 The Philistine army and the Israeli army stood [on the hillsides], facing each other, ready for the battle.
At ang Israel at ang mga Filisteo ay nakahanay na sa pagbabaka, hukbo laban sa hukbo.
22 David gave the food to the man who was taking care of the war equipment. [He told him to take care of the food that he brought], and then he went and greeted his older brothers.
At iniwan ni David ang kaniyang daladalahan sa kamay ng tagapagingat ng daladalahan, at tumakbo sa hukbo, at naparoon, at bumati sa kaniyang mga kapatid.
23 While he was talking with them, he saw Goliath coming out from among the Philistine soldiers, shouting [to the Israelis], challenging them [to send a man to fight him]. David heard what Goliath was saying.
At sa kaniyang pakikipagusap sa kanila, narito, dumating ang bayani, ang Filisteo na taga Gath, na Goliath ang pangalan, mula sa hanay ng mga Filisteo, at nagsalita ng ayon sa mga gayon ding salita: at narinig ni David.
24 When all the Israeli soldiers saw Goliath, they were terrified and started to ran away.
At lahat ng mga lalake sa Israel pagkakita sa lalaking yaon ay tumakas mula sa kaniyang harapan, at natakot na mainam.
25 They were saying to each other, “Look at him coming up toward us! And listen to him as he defies us Israelis! The king says that he will give a big reward to whoever kills this man. He also says that he will give his daughter to that man for him to marry her, and that he will no longer require that man’s family to pay taxes.”
At ang mga lalake ng Israel ay nagsabi, Nakita ba ninyo ang lalaking iyan na sumasampa? Tunay na sumasampa siya upang manghamon sa Israel: at mangyayari, na ang lalaking makapatay sa kaniya, ay payayamanin ng hari ng malaking kayamanan, at ibibigay sa kaniya ang kaniyang anak na babae, at palalayain sa Israel ang sangbahayan ng kaniyang ama.
26 David talked to some of the men who were standing near him. He said, “What will be given to whoever kills this Philistine and frees us Israelis from this shame/disgrace? And who [does] this heathen Philistine [think he] is, defying/ridiculing the army that serves the all-powerful God?”
At nagsalita si David sa mga lalaking nakatayo sa siping niya, na nagsasabi, Ano ang gagawin sa lalaking makapatay sa Filisteong ito, at mag-alis sa Israel ng kadustaang ito? sapagka't sinong Filisteong ito na hindi tuli na siya'y humahamon sa mga hukbo ng buhay na Dios?
27 They told him the same thing that the other men had said, about what the king would do for anyone who killed Goliath.
At sumagot sa kaniya ang bayan, ng ganitong paraan, na sinabi, Ganito ang gagawin sa lalake na makapatay sa kaniya.
28 But when David’s oldest brother Eliab heard David talking to the men, he was angry. He said to David, “Why have you come down here? Is someone taking care of those few sheep that you left in the desert? I know you are just a (smart-aleck/brat)! You just want to watch the battle!”
At narinig ni Eliab na kaniyang pinakamatandang kapatid, nang siya'y magsalita sa mga lalake; at ang galit ni Eliab ay nagalab laban kay David, at kaniyang sinabi, Bakit ka lumusong dito? at kanino mo iniwan ang ilang tupang yaon sa ilang? Talastas ko ang iyong kahambugan, at ang kalikutan ng iyong puso; sapagka't ikaw ay lumusong upang iyong makita ang pagbabaka.
29 David replied, “Have I done something wrong? I was merely asking a question!”
At sinabi ni David, Anong aking ginawa ngayon? Wala bang dahilan?
30 Then he walked over to another man and asked him the same question, but the man gave him the same answer. Each time he asked someone, he received the same answer.
At tinalikdan niya siya na napatungo sa iba, at siya'y nagsalita ng gayon ding paraan: at sinagot siya uli ng bayan na gaya ng una.
31 Finally, someone told king Saul what David had asked, and Saul sent someone to bring David to him.
At nang marinig ang mga salita na sinalita ni David, ay sinaysay nila sa harap ni Saul; at siya'y ipinasundo niya.
32 David told king Saul, “No one should (worry/become a coward) because of that Philistine man. I will go and fight with him!”
At sinabi ni David kay Saul, Huwag manglupaypay ang puso ng sinoman dahil sa kaniya; ang iyong lingkod ay yayaon at makikipaglaban sa Filisteong ito.
33 Saul said to David, “You are only a young man, and he has been a very capable soldier all his life. So you are not able to go and fight with him!”
At sinabi ni Saul kay David: Hindi ka makaparoroon laban sa Filisteong ito upang makipaglaban sa kaniya: sapagka't ikaw ay isang bata, at siya'y isang lalaking mangdidigma mula sa kaniyang pagkabata.
34 David replied, “I have been taking care of my father’s sheep [for many years]. Whenever a lion or a bear came and carried away a lamb,
At sinabi ni David kay Saul, Ang iyong lingkod ay nagaalaga ng mga tupa ng kaniyang ama; at pagka pumaroon ang isang leon, o isang oso, at kinukuha ang isang kordero sa kawan,
35 I went after the lion or the bear and attacked it and rescued the lamb from the wild animal’s mouth. Then I grabbed the animal by its jaw/throat and struck it and killed it.
Ay lumalabas akong hinahabol ko siya, at aking sinasaktan, at aking inililigtas sa kaniyang bibig: at pagka dinadaluhong ako ay aking pinapangahan, at aking sinasaktan, at aking pinapatay.
36 I have killed both lions and bears. And [I will do] the same to this heathen Philistine, because he has defied/ridiculed the army of the all-powerful God!
Pinapatay ng iyong lingkod ang leon at gayon din ang oso: at ang Filisteong ito na hindi tuli ay magiging isa sa kanila, yamang kaniyang hinahamon ang mga hukbo ng Dios na buhay.
37 Yahweh has rescued me from paws of lions and bears, and he will rescue me from this Philistine!” Then Saul said to David, “All right, go [and fight him], and [I hope/desire] that Yahweh will help you!”
At sinabi ni David, Ang Panginoon na nagligtas sa akin sa mga pangamot ng leon, at sa pangamot ng oso, ay siyang magliligtas sa akin sa kamay ng Filisteong ito. At sinabi ni Saul kay David, Yumaon ka, at ang Panginoon ay sasa iyo.
38 Then Saul gave to David his own clothes that he always wore in battles, and he gave him a bronze helmet and a coat made of metal plates.
At sinandatahan ni Saul si David ng kaniyang mga sandata, at kaniyang inilagay ang isang turbanteng tanso sa kaniyang ulo, at kaniyang sinuutan siya ng isang baluti sa katawan.
39 David [put these things on. Then he] fastened his sword over them, and tried to walk. But he could not walk, because he was not accustomed to wearing those things. So David said to Saul, “I cannot fight wearing all these things, because I am not accustomed to [wearing] them!” So he took them off.
At ibinigkis ni David, ang tabak niya sa kaniyang sandata, at kaniyang tinikmang yumaon; sapagka't hindi pa niya natitikman. At sinabi ni David kay Saul, Hindi ako makayayaon na dala ko ang mga ito; sapagka't hindi ko pa natitikman. At pawang hinubad ni David sa kaniya.
40 Then he took his walking/shepherd’s stick, and he picked up five smooth stones from the brook/stream. He put them in the pouch of his shoulder-bag. Then he put his sling in his hand and started walking toward Goliath.
At tinangnan niya ang kaniyang tungkod sa kaniyang kamay, at pumili siya ng limang makinis na bato mula sa batis, at isinilid sa supot na kaniyang dala, sa makatuwid baga'y sa kaniyang supot pastor; at ang kaniyang panghilagpos ay nasa kaniyang kamay: at siya'y lumapit sa Filisteo.
41 Goliath walked toward David, with the soldier who was carrying his shield walking in front of him. When he got near David,
At nagpatuloy ang Filisteo at lumapit kay David; at ang lalake na may dala ng kalasag ay nangunguna sa kaniya.
42 he looked at David closely. He saw that David had a handsome face and healthy body, but that he was only a young man. So he sneered at David.
At nang tumingin ang Filisteo, at makita si David, ay kaniyang niwalan ng kabuluhan siya; sapagka't siya'y bata pa, at mapula ang pisngi, at may magandang bikas.
43 He said to David, “Are you coming to me with a stick because [you think that] I am a dog?” Then he called out to his gods to harm David.
At sinabi ng Filisteo kay David, Ako ba ay aso, na ikaw ay paririto sa akin na may mga tungkod? At nilait ng Filisteo si David sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang mga dios.
44 He said to David, “Come here to me, and I will [kill you and] give your dead body to the birds and wild animals to eat!”
At sinabi ng Filisteo kay David, Halika, at aking ibibigay ang iyong laman sa mga ibon sa himpapawid at sa mga hayop sa parang.
45 David replied, “You are coming to me with a sword and a dagger and a spear. But I am coming to you (in the name/with the authority) of almighty Yahweh. He is the God whom the army of Israel [worships], and he is the God whom you have defied/ridiculed.
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni David sa Filisteo, Ikaw ay naparirito sa akin na may tabak, at may malaking sibat at may kalasag; nguni't ako'y naparirito laban sa iyo sa pangalan ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, ng Dios ng mga kawal ng Israel na iyong hinahamon.
46 Today Yahweh will enable me to defeat you. I will strike you down and cut off your head. And [we Israelis will kill] many Philistine [soldiers and] give their bodies to the birds and wild animals to eat. And everyone in the world will [hear about it and] know that we Israeli people worship an [all-powerful] God.
Sa araw na ito ay ibibigay ka ng Panginoon sa aking kamay; at sasaktan kita, at pupugutin ko ang ulo mo; at ibibigay ko ang mga bangkay sa hukbo ng mga Filisteo sa mga ibon sa himpapawid sa araw na ito, at sa mababangis na hayop sa lupa; upang maalaman ng buong lupa na may Dios sa Israel:
47 And everyone here will know that Yahweh can rescue people without a sword or a spear. Yahweh always wins his battles, and he will enable us to defeat all of you [Philistines].”
At upang maalaman ng buong kapisanang ito na hindi nagliligtas ang Panginoon sa pamamagitan ng tabak o ng sibat: sapagka't ang pagbabakang ito ay sa Panginoon, at ibibigay niya kayo sa aming kamay.
48 As Goliath came closer to attack David, David ran quickly toward him.
At nangyari, nang bumangon ang Filisteo, at sumulong at lumapit upang salubungin si David, na si David ay nagmadali, at tumakbo sa dako ng kawal upang salubungin ang Filisteo.
49 He put his hand into his shoulder-bag and took out one stone. He [put it in his sling and] hurled it toward Goliath. The stone hit Goliath on the forehead and penetrated his skull, and he fell face down onto the ground.
At isinuot ni David ang kaniyang kamay sa kaniyang supot; at kumuha roon ng isang bato, at inihilagpos, at tinamaan ang Filisteo sa kaniyang noo; at ang bato ay bumaon sa kaniyang noo, at nabuwal na pasubsob sa lupa.
50 Then David ran and stood over Goliath. He pulled Goliath’s sword from its sheath and killed him with it, and then cut off his head. In that way David defeated the Philistine without having his own sword. He used [only] a sling and a stone! When the other Philistines saw that their great warrior was dead, they ran away.
Sa gayo'y nanaig si David sa Filisteo sa pamamagitan ng isang panghilagpos at ng isang bato, at sinaktan ang Filisteo at pinatay niya siya; nguni't walang tabak sa kamay ni David.
Nang magkagayo'y tumakbo si David, at tinunghan ang Filisteo, at kinuha ang kaniyang tabak, at binunot sa kaniyang kaluban, at pinatay siya, at ipinagpugot ng kaniyang ulo. At nang makita ng mga Filisteo na ang kanilang bayani ay patay na, sila'y tumakas.
52 The Israeli men shouted and ran after them. They pursued them all the way to Gath and to the gates of Ekron [city]. They struck them as they went, with the result that dead/wounded Philistines were lying on the road all the way from Shaaraim to Gath and Ekron [towns].
At nagsibangon ang mga lalake ng Israel at ng Juda, at humiyaw at hinabol ang mga Filisteo hanggang sa Gath, at sa mga pintuang-bayan ng Ecron. At ang mga sugatan sa mga Filisteo ay nabuwal sa daang patungo sa Saraim, hanggang sa Gath, at sa Ecron.
53 When the Israelis returned from chasing the Philistines, they (plundered/took everything from) the Philistine camp.
At nagsibalik ang mga anak ni Israel sa paghabol sa mga Filisteo, at kanilang sinamsam ang kanilang kampamento.
54 David later took the head of Goliath to Jerusalem, but he kept Goliath’s weapons in his own tent.
At kinuha ni David ang ulo ng Filisteo, at dinala sa Jerusalem; nguni't kaniyang inilagay ang sandata niya sa kaniyang tolda.
55 As Saul watched David going toward Goliath, he said to Abner, the commanded of his army, “Abner, whose son is that young man?” Abner replied, “(As sure as you are alive/Truly) [IDM], I do not know.”
At nang makita ni Saul si David na lumalabas laban sa Filisteo, kaniyang sinabi kay Abner, na kapitan ng hukbo, Abner, kaninong anak ang batang ito? At sinabi ni Abner, Buhay ang iyong kaluluwa, Oh hari, hindi ko masabi.
56 Then the king said, “Find out whose son he is!”
At sinabi ng hari, Usisain mo kung kaninong anak ang batang ito.
57 [Later, ] as David returned from killing Goliath, Abner took him to Saul. David was carrying Goliath’s head.
At pagbalik ni David sa pagpatay sa Filisteo, kinuha siya ni Abner, at dinala siya sa harap ni Saul na dala ang ulo ng Filisteo sa kaniyang kamay.
58 Saul asked him, “Young man, whose son are you?” David replied, “[Sir, perhaps you have forgotten that] I am the son of your servant Jesse, who has served you faithfully, who lives in Bethlehem.”
At sinabi ni Saul sa kaniya, Kaninong anak ka, binata? At sumagot si David, Ako'y anak ng iyong lingkod na si Isai na Bethlehemita.
