1 Samuel 18
1 After David finished talking with Saul, [he met Saul’s son, Jonathan.] Jonathan [immediately] liked David; in fact, he began to love/like him as much as he loved/liked himself.
Human siya makigsulti kang Saul, nagkasuod dayon si Jonatan ug si David, ug nahigugma si Jonatan kaniya sama sa iyang kaugalingong kalag.
2 From that day, Saul kept David with him, and did not let him return home.
Sukad niadtong adlawa gikuha ni Saul si David aron moalagad kaniya; wala na niya siya tugoti nga mopauli pa sa balay sa iyang amahan.
3 Because Jonathan loved David so much, he made a solemn agreement with David. [They promised each other that they would always be loyal friends].
Unya naghimo ug kasabotan sa panaghigalaay si Jonatan ug si David tungod kay nahigugma man si Jonatan kaniya sama sa iyang kaugalingong kalag.
4 Jonathan took off his own outer robe and gave it to David. He also gave David his soldier’s tunic, his sword, his bow [and arrows], and his belt.
Gihukas ni Jonatan ang iyang gisul-ob nga kapa ug gihatag kini kang David uban ang kasangkapan, lakip na ang iyang espada, ang pana, ug ang iyang bakos.
5 [David went wherever Saul sent him. And] whatever Saul told him to do, David did it very successfully. As a result, Saul appointed David to be a commander in the army. All the officers and other men in the army (approved of/were very pleased with) that.
Miadto si David kung asa siya ipaadto ni Saul, ug nagmalampuson siya. Gihimo siya ni Saul nga pangulo sa kasundalohan sa gubat. Nakapahimuot kini sa mata sa katawhan ug sa panan-aw usab sa mga sulugoon ni Saul.
6 But, when the men in the army were returning home after David had killed Goliath, the women came out from many [HYP] towns in Israel to meet/greet King Saul. They were singing and dancing very joyfully, playing tambourines and lyres.
Sa pag-abot nila sa pinuy-anan gikan sa pagpakiggubat sa mga Filistihanon, ang mga babaye nangabot gikan sa tanang siyudad sa Israel, nanag-awit ug nanagsayaw, aron mosugat kang Haring Saul, inubanan sa mga gagmay nga tambor, uban sa kalipay, ug uban sa mga tulunggon.
7 As they danced, they sang this song to each other: “Saul has killed 1,000 [enemy soldiers], But David has killed 10,000 [of them].”
Nanag-awit ang mga babaye samtang nagpatugtog sila; miawit sila “Si Saul nakapatay sa iyang linibo, Ug si David sa iyang tinagpulo ka libo.”
8 [When] Saul [heard them singing that, he] did not like it. He became very angry. He said [to himself], “They are saying that David [killed] 10,000 men, but that I [have killed] only 1,000. Soon they will want to make him their king!” [RHQ]
Nasuko pag-ayo si Saul, ug kining awita wala nakapahimuot kaniya. Miingon siya, “Gipahinungod nila kang David ang napulo ka libo, apan linibo lamang ang ilang gipahinungod kanako. Unsa pay lain nga iyang maangkon kondili ang gingharian?”
9 From that time, Saul watched David very closely because he was suspicious [that David would try to become king].
Ug gibantayan na ni Saul si David uban ang pagduda sukad niadtong adlawa.
10 The next day, an evil spirit sent by God suddenly took control of Saul. He began to act like a madman, inside his house. David was playing the lyre for him, as he did every day. Saul was holding a spear in his hand,
Pagkasunod adlaw mikunsad kang Saul ang daotang espiritu nga gipadala sa Dios. Ug daw nabuang siya sulod sa pinuy-anan. Busa nagpatugtog si David sa iyang alpa, sama sa iyang gibuhat matag adlaw. Ug si Saul naggunit sa iyang bangkaw.
11 and he hurled it [at David], saying to himself, “I will fasten David to the wall with the spear!” He did that two times, but David jumped aside [both times].
Gibangkaw ni Saul si David, kay naghunahuna siya, “Ipataop ko si David sa bungbong.” Apan nakalikay si David gikan sa atubangan ni Saul sa makaduha ka higayon.
12 Because [it became evident that] Yahweh had abandoned Saul but [that] he was helping David, Saul was afraid of David.
Nahadlok si Saul kang David, tungod kay si Yahweh nag-uban man kaniya, apan wala na kang Saul.
13 So he appointed David as a commander of 1,000 soldiers and sent David away from him, [hoping that David would be killed in a battle]. But when David led his soldiers [in their battles],
Busa gipapahawa siya ni Saul sa iyang atubangan ug gipili siyang pangulo sa usa ka libo. Niining paagiha migawas si David ug mibalik sa atubangan sa katawhan.
14 he always had great success, because Yahweh was helping him.
Nagmalampuson si David sa tanan niyang gibuhat, kay si Yahweh nagauban man kaniya.
15 When Saul heard that David [and his soldiers were] very successful, he became more afraid of David.
Sa dihang nakita ni Saul nga nagmalampuson siya, nahadlok siya kaniya.
16 But all the people of Israel and of Judah loved David, because he led the soldiers very successfully [in the battles].
Apan gihigugma si David sa tibuok Israel ug sa Juda, kay migula siya ug mibalik sa ilang atubangan.
17 One day Saul said to David, “I am ready to give you my oldest daughter, Merab, to be your wife. I will do that if you serve me bravely by fighting battles for Yahweh [against the Philistines]”. He said that because he thought, “I will not try to get rid of David by myself. I will allow the Philistines to do that.”
Unya miingon si Saul kang David, “Ania ang akong kamagulangang anak nga babaye nga si Merab. Ipaasawa ko siya kanimo. Magmaisugon ka lamang alang kanako ug pakig-away sa mga gubat ni Yahweh.” Kay naghunahuna si Saul, “Dili ko itugot nga makadapat ang akong kamot kaniya, kondili ang kamot sa mga Filistihanon maoy modapat kaniya.”
18 But David said to Saul, “I am not [RHQ] a very important person, and my family is not very important, and my clan is not a very important Israeli clan. So I do not deserve to become your son-in-law.” [RHQ]
Miingon si David kang Saul, “Kinsa ba ako, ug ang akong mga kabanay, o ang panimalay sa akong amahan sa Israel, nga mahimo man akong umagad sa hari?”
19 So, when it was time for Merab to be given to David to become his wife, instead, Saul gave her to a man named Adriel, from Meholah [town].
Apan sa panahon na nga ihatag na unta si Merab, ang anak nga babaye ni Saul, aron maasawa ni David, gipaasawa hinuon siya kang Adriel nga taga-Mehola.
20 But Saul’s other daughter, Michal, fell in love with David. When they told Saul about that, he was pleased.
Apan si Mical ang anak nga babaye ni Saul, nahigugma kang David. Gisultihan nila si Saul, ug nakapahimuot kini kaniya.
21 He thought, “I will let Michal marry him, in order that she may trap him, and the Philistines will be able to kill him.” So he said to David, [“You can marry Michal],” and by saying that, he indicated for the second time that David would become his son-in-law.
Naghunahuna si Saul, “Ipaasawa ko siya kang David aron nga siya maoy makalingla kaniya ug ang kamot sa mga Filistihanon makapatay kaniya.” Busa miingon si Saul kang David sa ikaduhang higayon, “Mahimo ko na ikaw nga umagad.”
22 Saul told his servants, “Talk to David privately, and say to him, ‘Listen, the king is pleased with you, and all of us his servants love you. So now [we think that] you should [marry Michal and] become the king’s son-in-law.’”
Gisugo ni Saul ang iyang mga sulugoon, Pakigsulti kang David sa tago, ug isulti 'Tan-awa, ang hari nagmalipayon diha kanimo, ug ang tanan niyang sulugoon naghigugma kanimo. Busa karon, pag-uyon na nga mahimo kang umagad sa hari.”'
23 So they told that to David. But David said, “It would be a great honor [RHQ] to become the king’s son-in-law. But [I do not think that I should do that, because] I am only a poor and insignificant man.”
Busa gisulti kini nga mga pulong sa sulugoon ni Saul kang David. Ug miingon si David, “Daw gipakasayon lamang ninyo kining butanga nga maumagad sa hari, sanglit usa lamang ako ka kabos, ug dili mahinungdanon?”
24 When the servants told Saul what David had said,
Ang mga sulugoon ni Saul misugilon kaniya sa mga gipamulong ni David.
25 Saul replied, “Go and say to David, ‘[In order for] the king [to allow you to marry Michal, he] wants [you to kill] 100 Philistines [and cut off] their foreskins [and bring the foreskins to him to prove that you have killed them]. In that way he will get revenge on his enemies.’” But what Saul wanted was that the Philistines would kill David [while David was trying to kill them].
Unya miingon si Saul, “Mao kini ang inyong isulti kang David, 'Ang Hari wala magtinguha sa bisan unsang bugay, gawas sa usa ka gatos nga mga yamis sa mga Filistihanon, aron sa pagpanimalos sa kaaway sa hari.”' Karon naghunahuna si Saul nga mahulog na gayod si David sa kamot sa mga Filistihanon.
26 When the servants told that to David, he was very pleased that he could become the king’s son-in-law [by doing that. The king had said how many days he would allow for David to do that]. But before that time ended,
Sa pagsulti sa iyang mga sulugoon niining mga pulonga kang David, nakapahimuot kang David nga maumagad sa hari.
27 David and his men went and killed, [not 100, but] 200 Philistines! He brought their foreskins to Saul, and counted them [while Saul was watching], in order to prove that he had [done what the king required so that he could become Saul’s son-in-law. So then Saul was obligated] to allow David to marry his daughter Michal.
Sa wala pa mahuman kadtong mga adlawa, milakaw si David kuyog ang iyang mga tawo ug gipatay ang duha ka gatos nga mga Filistihanon. Gidala ni David ang ilang yamis, ug ilang gihatag kini sa saktong gidaghanon ngadto sa hari, aron maumagad na siya sa hari. Busa gipaasawa ni Saul kaniya si Mical ang iyang anak nga babaye.
28 But when Saul realized that Yahweh was helping David, and that his daughter loved David,
Sa nakita ug nasayran ni Saul nga nag-uban si Yahweh kang David. Si Mical, nga anak ni Saul, nahigugma gayod kaniya.
29 he became more afraid of David. So, as long as Saul lived, he was David’s enemy.
Misamot ang kahadlok ni Saul kang David. Ug si Saul nagpadayon nga kaaway ni David.
30 The Philistine armies repeatedly came to fight the Israelis, but every time they fought, David and his soldiers were more successful than any of Saul’s other army commanders. As a result, David became very famous.
Unya ang mga prinsipe sa mga Filistihanon migawas aron sa pagpakig-away, ug sunodsunod ang ilang paggawas, nagmalampuson gayod si David kay sa tanang sulugoon ni Saul, hinungdan nga giila pag-ayo ang iyang ngalan.
