1 Samuel 19
1 Then Saul urged all his servants and his son Jonathan to kill David. But Jonathan liked David very much.
Sinabi ni Saul sa kanyang anak na si Jonatan at sa lahat ng kanyang mga lingkod na kailangan nilang patayin si David. Pero nalugod ng labis si Jonatan kay David, anak na lalaki ni Saul.
2 So he warned David, “My father Saul is seeking for a way to kill you. So be careful. Tomorrow morning go and find a place to hide [in the field].
Kaya sinabi ni Jonatan kay David, “gusto kang patayin ng aking amang si Saul. Kaya maging handa sa umaga at magtago sa isang lihim na lugar.
3 I will ask my father to go out there with me. [While we are out there], I will talk to him about you. Then I will tell you everything that he tells me.” [So David did what Jonathan told him to do].
Lalabas ako at tatayo sa tabi ng aking ama sa bukirin kung nasaan ka, at makikipag-usap ako sa aking ama tungkol sa iyo. Kung may malaman akong anumang bagay, sasabihin ko sa iyo.”
4 [The next morning], Jonathan spoke with his father, saying many good things about David. He said, “You should never do anything to harm your servant David! He has never done anything to harm you! Everything that he has done has helped you very much.
Nagsalita ng magandang bagay si Jonatan patungkol kay David sa kanyang ama na si Saul at sinabi sa kanyang, “Huwag mong hayaang magkasala ang hari laban sa kanyang lingkod na si David. Sapagkat hindi siya nagkasala laban sa iyo, at nagdala ng kabutihan sa iyo ang kanyang mga gawa.
5 He was in danger of being killed when he fought against [Goliath, the champion of] the Philistia [army. By enabling David to kill him], Yahweh won a great victory for all the people of Israel. You were very happy when you saw that. Why would you want to do anything now to harm David [RHQ]? There is no reason for you to kill him, because he has not done anything wrong!”
Sapagkat ipinagsapalaran niya ang kanyang buhay at pinatay ang taga-Filisteo. Nagdala ng malaking tagumpay si Yahweh para sa buong Israel. Nakita mo ito at nagalak ka. Bakit ka magkakasala laban sa walang salang dugo sa pamamagitan ng pagpatay kay David nang walang dahilan?”
6 Saul listened to what Jonathan said. Then Saul said, “I solemnly promise that just as certain as Yahweh lives, I will not kill David.”
Nakinig si Saul kay Jonatan. Sumumpa si Saul, “Habang nabubuhay si Yahweh, hindi ko siya papatayin.”
7 Afterward, Jonathan summoned David and told him what he and Saul had said. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and David served Saul as he had done before.
Pagkatapos tinawag ni Jonatan si David, sinabi ni Jonatan ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito. Dinala ni Jonatan si David kay Saul, at nasa piling niya siya tulad ng dati.
8 One day a war started again, and David [led his soldiers to] fight against the Philistia army. David’s [army] attacked them very furiously, with the result that the Philistia army ran away.
At may digmaan muli. Humayo si David at nakipaglaban sa mga Filisteo at tinalo sila sa isang matinding patayan. Tumakas sila sa kanya.
9 But one day when sitting in his house, an evil spirit [sent] from Yahweh [suddenly] came upon Saul. While David was playing his harp [for Saul],
Isang mapaminsalang espiritu mula kay Yahweh ang pumunta kay Saul habang nakaupo siya sa kanyang tahanan na may sibat sa kanyang kamay, at habang nagpapatugtog si David ng kanyang panugtog.
10 Saul hurled his spear at David to try to fasten him to the wall. David (dodged/jumped to one side), and the spear did not hit him. The spear stuck in the wall, but that night David escaped.
Sinubukang itusok ni Saul si David sa pader gamit ang sibat, ngunit nakaalis siya mula sa presensiya ni Saul, kaya naitusok ni Saul ang sibat sa pader. Lumayo at tumakas si David ng gabing iyon.
11 Then Saul sent messengers to David’s house. He told them to watch the house and to kill David [while he was leaving the house] the following morning. But David’s wife Michal [saw them and] warned him, “To survive, you must run away tonight, because if you do not do that, you will be killed tomorrow!”
Nagpadala si Saul ng mga mensahero sa sambahayan ni David upang bantayan siya ng sa ganun maaari niya siyang mapatay sa umaga. Sinabi sa kanya ni Mical, asawa ni David, “Kung hindi mo ililigtas ang iyong sarili ngayong gabi, bukas mapapatay ka.”
12 So she enabled David to climb out through a window, and he ran away and escaped.
Kaya pinababa ni Mical si David sa bintana. Umalis siya at lumayo at tumakas.
13 Then Michal took an idol and put it in the bed. She covered it with some [of David’s] clothes, and put some goat’s hair on the head of the idol.
Kumuha si Mical ng isang sambahayang diyus-diyosan at nilagay ito sa kama. Pagkatapos naglagay siya ng isang unan na gawa sa buhok ng kambing sa ulunan nito, at tinakpan ito gamit ang mga damit.
14 When the messengers came [to the house the next morning], she told them that David was sick [and could not get out of bed].
Nang magpadala si Saul ng mga mensahero para kunin si David, sinabi niyang, “May sakit siya.”
15 [When they reported that to] Saul, he told them to go back to David’s house. He said to them, “Bring him to me lying on his bed, in order that I can kill him!”
Pagkatapos nagpadala si Saul ng mga mensahero upang tingnan si David; sinabi niya, “Dalhin ninyo siya sa akin sa kama, upang mapatay ko siya.”
16 But when those men entered David’s house, they saw that there was only an idol in the bed, with goat’s hair on its head.
Nang pumasok ang mga mensahero, masdan, nasa kama ang sambahayang diyus-diyosan kasama ng unan na buhok ng kambing sa uluhan nito.
17 [When they reported that to Saul, ] Saul [summoned] Michal [and] said to her, “Why did you trick me like that? You allowed my enemy to escape!” Michal replied to Saul, “David told me that if I did not help him escape, he would kill me!” [RHQ]
Sinabi ni Saul kay Mical, “Bakit mo ako nilinlang at hinayaang umalis ang aking kaaway, kaya nakatakas siya?” Sinagot ni Mical si Saul, “Sinabi niya sa akin, 'Hayaan akong makaalis. Bakit kailangan kitang patayin?”'
18 After David had escaped from Saul, he went to Samuel, who was [at his home] at Ramah. He told Samuel everything that Saul had done to [try to kill] him. Then David and Samuel went to Naioth, [which was a section] of [Ramah city], and they stayed there.
Ngayon lumayo si David at tumakas, at nagtungo kay Samuel sa Rama at sinabi sa kanya ang lahat ng ginawa ni Saul sa kanya. Pagkatapos nagtungo at nanatili siya at si Samuel sa Naiot.
19 Someone told Saul that David was in Naioth.
Sinabi ito kay Saul, na sinasabing, “Tingnan mo, nasa Naiot si David sa Rama.”
20 So Saul sent some messengers to capture David. [When] those messengers [arrived in Ramah, they] met some men who were proclaiming ecstatic messages, and Samuel was there, as their leader. When Saul’s messengers met them, the Spirit of God took control of Saul’s men, and they also spoke ecstatically.
Pagkatapos nagpadala si Saul ng mga mensahero upang hulihin si David. Nang makita nila ang samahan ng mga propetang nanghuhula, at tumatayo si Samuel bilang kanilang pinuno, nagtungo ang Espiritu ng Diyos sa mga mensahero ni Saul, at nanghula din sila.
21 When Saul heard about that, he sent messengers a third time, but they also started to speak ecstatically.
Nang masabihan si Saul nito, nagpadala siya ng ibang mga mensahero at nanghula din sila. Kaya nagpadala muli si Saul ng mga mensahero sa ikatlong pagkakataon, at nanghula din sila.
22 Finally, Saul himself went to Ramah. When he arrived at the well at [a place named] Secu, he asked people there, “Where are Samuel and David?” The people replied, “They are at Naioth in Ramah [city].”
Pagkatapos nagtungo din siya sa Rama at dumating sa malalim na balon na nasa Secu. Tinanong niya, “Nasaan sina Samuel at David?” Mayroong nagsabing, “Tingnan, nasa Naiot sila sa Rama.”
23 While Saul was walking toward Naioth, the Spirit of God also took control of him. [While he walked on], he continued speaking ecstatic messages until he came to Naioth.
Nagpunta si Saul sa Naiot sa Rama. At dumating din ang Espiritu ng Diyos sa kanya, at nanghula siya sa pagpunta niya, hanggang sa makabalik siya sa Naiot sa Rama.
24 There he took off his clothes, and he spoke messages from God in front of Samuel. He lay on the ground doing that all day and all night. That is the reason that [when people see someone doing something that is very unexpected, they think about what happened to Saul, and] they say, “We are surprised, like the people were surprised to see Saul [acting like] a prophet?” [RHQ]
At inalis niya din ang kanyang mga damit, at nanghula din siya sa harapan ni Samuel at humigang hubad sa buong araw at buong gabing iyon. Dahil dito sinabi nilang, “Kabilang na din ba si Saul sa mga propeta?”
