< 2 Samuel 1 >

1 After Saul died, David [and the men who were with him] returned to Ziklag [town] after defeating the descendants of Amalek. They stayed in Ziklag for two days.
Nang namatay si Saul, bumalik si David galing sa pagsalakay sa bayan ng Amalek at nanatili sa Ziklag ng dalawang araw.
2 On the third day, unexpectedly a man arrived there who had come from where Saul’s army was camped. He had torn his clothes and put dust on his head [to show that he was grieving]. He came to David, and prostrated himself on the ground [in front of David to show respect for him].
Sa ikatlong araw, mayroong isang taong dumating mula sa kampo ni Saul na sira ang kaniyang mga damit at may dumi sa kaniyang ulo. Nang nakarating siya kay David yumuko siya sa lupa at siya ay nagpatirapa.
3 David asked him, “Where have you come from?” The man replied, “I escaped from where the Israeli army had been camped.”
Sinabi ni David sa kaniya, “Saan ka nanggaling? Sagot niya, “Nakatakas ako mula sa kampo ng Israel.”
4 David asked him, “What happened? Tell me [about the battle]!” The man replied, “The Israeli soldiers ran away from the battle. Many of them were killed. And Saul and his son Jonathan (are dead/were also killed).”
Sinabi ni David sa kaniya, “Pakiusap sabihin mo sa akin kung ano ang mga bagay na nangyari.” sumagot siya, “Nagsitakas ang mga tao mula sa labanan. Marami ang bumagsak at marami ang namatay. Si Saul at Jonatan na kaniyang anak na lalaki ay namatay din.”
5 David said to the young man, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”
Sinabi ni David sa binatang lalaki, “Papaano mo nalaman na si Saul at si Jonatan na kaniyang anak na lalaki ay namatay?”
6 The young man replied, “It happened that I was on Gilboa Mountain [where the battle occurred], and I saw Saul, leaning on his spear. The [enemy] chariots and their drivers had come very close to Saul.
Sumagot ang binata, “Nagkataon na naroon ako sa Bundok Gilboa, at doon nakasandal siya sa kaniyang sibat, at ang mga karwaheng pandigma at ang mga nangangabayo ay halos malapit na sa kaniya.
7 Saul turned around and saw me, and he called out to me. I answered him and said, ‘What do you want me to do?’
Tumalikod si Saul at nakita ako at tinawag niya ako. Sumagot ako, 'Nandito ako.'
8 He replied, ‘Who are you?’ I replied, ‘I am a descendant of Amalek.’
Sinabi niya sa akin, 'Sino ka?' Sinagot ko siya, 'Ako ay taga-Amalek.'
9 Then he said to me, ‘Come over here and kill me. I am still alive, but I am enduring a lot of pain.’
Sinabi niya sa akin, 'Pakiusap tumayo ka sa harapan ko at patayin mo ako, dahil matinding paghihirap ang nararanasan ko, pero nanatili pa rin akong buhay.
10 So I went to him and killed him, because I knew that he was wounded very badly and would (not continue to live/soon die). I took the crown that was on his head and the band/bracelet that was on his arm, and I have brought them to you.”
Kaya tumayo ako sa ibabaw niya at pinatay ko siya, dahil alam ko na hindi na siya mabubuhay pagkatapos niyang bumagsak. At kinuha ko ang kaniyang korona na nasa kaniyang ulo at ang pulseras na nasa kaniyang kamay, at dinala ang mga ito dito para sa iyo, aking panginoon.”
11 Then David and all the men who were with him tore their clothes [to show that they were very sad].
Pagkatapos pinunit ni David ang kaniyang mga damit, at ginawa rin ito ng lahat ng mga kalalakihan na kasama niya.
12 They mourned for Saul and his son Jonathan, and they cried and (fasted/abstained from eating food) until it was evening. They also mourned for all the army of Yahweh, and for all the Israeli people, because many of their soldiers had been killed in the battle [MTY].
Sila'y nanangis, umiyak, at nag-ayuno hanggang gabi para kay Saul, para kay Jonatan na kaniyang anak na lalaki, para sa mga tao ni Yahweh, at para sa tahanan ng Israel dahil bumagsak sila sa pamamagitan ng espada.
13 Then David asked the young man who had told him [about the battle], “Where are you from?” He replied, “My father is a descendant of Amalek, but we live in Israel.”
Sinabi ni David sa binata, “Saan ka nanggaling? Sumagot siya, “Ako ay anak na lalaki ng isang dayuhan sa lupain, isang taga- Amalek.”
14 David asked him, “(Why were you not afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king]?/You should have been afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king].) [RHQ]
Sinabi ni David sa kaniya, “Bakit hindi ka natakot na patayin ang hari na hinirang ni Yahweh sa pamamagitan ng iyong sariling kamay?”
15 You yourself said, ‘I killed the man whom Yahweh appointed to be the king.’ So you have caused yourself to be guilty [MTY] of causing your own death!” Then David summoned one of his soldiers and said to him, “Kill him!” So the soldier killed him by striking him [with a sword].
Tinawag ni David ang isa sa mga binata at sinabi, “Kunin at patayin siya.” Kaya kinuha ang lalaki at pinatay siya, at namatay ang taga-Amalek.
Pagkatapos sinabi ni David sa namatay na taga-Amalek, “Ang iyong dugo ay nasa iyong ulo dahil ang iyong sariling bibig ay naging saksi laban sa iyo at sa sinabi mo, 'Pinatay ko ang hinirang na hari ni Yahweh.”'
17 Then David composed/wrote this sad song about Saul and Jonathan,
Pagkatapos inawit ni David ang panlibing na awiting ito tungkol kay Saul at Jonatan na kaniyang anak na lalaki.
18 and he commanded that it be taught to the people of Judah. [The song is called] ‘The Bow [and Arrow]’ and it has been written in the Book of Jashar:
Ipinag-utos niya sa mga tao na ituro itong Awit ng Pananangis sa mga anak lalaki ng Juda, na naisulat sa Ang Aklat ni Jaser.
19 “You Israeli people, your glorious [MTY] leaders have been killed on the mountains! [It is very sad that] those mighty men have died!
Ang iyong niluwalhati, Israel, ay namatay, pinatay sa inyong mga bundok! Papaano ang magiting ay napatumba!
20 “Do not tell it [to our enemies in the Philistia area]; do not tell to the people who live in Gath [city] what happened; do not proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon [city], because if you tell them, [even] the women in that area will be happy; do not allow those (pagan women/women who do not know God) to rejoice.
Huwag itong sabihin kay Gath, Huwag itong ipahayag sa mga kalye ng Askelon para hindi magsaya ang mga anak na babae ng mga taga-Filisteo, para hindi magdiwang ang mga anak na babae ng mga hindi tuli.
21 I hope/desire that there will be no rain or dew on the mountains of [the] Gilboa [area] [APO], and that no grain will grow in the fields there, because there the shield of Saul, the mighty [king], fell on the ground. No one rubbed [olive] oil on Saul’s shield;
Mga Bundok ng Gilboa, huwag na hayaang magkaroon ng hamog o ulan sa inyo, ni mga kabukirin na magbibigay ng butil para sa mga alay, dahil doon ang panangga ng magiting ay nadungisan. Ang panangga ni Saul ay hindi na kailanman pinahiran sa pamamagitan ng langis.
22 instead, it was stained with the blood of those whom he had killed, and the fat of mighty enemy soldiers was smeared on it. Jonathan [PRS] did not retreat carrying his bow [and arrows], and Saul always [defeated his enemies when he fought them] with his sword. [PRS, LIT]
Mula sa mga dugo sa mga namatay na iyon, mula sa mga katawan ng mga magigiting, ang pana ni Jonatan ay hindi na bumalik, at ang espada ni Saul ay hindi bumalik ng walang saysay.
23 “Saul and Jonathan were loved and they pleased many people. They were together [LIT] while they lived and when they died. [In battles] they were swifter than eagles and they were stronger than lions.
Si Saul at Jonatan ay minahal at mapagmahal sa buhay, at sa kanilang kamatayan sila ay hindi ipinaghiwalay. Sila ay mas mabilis kaysa sa mga agila, mas malakas kaysa sa mga leon.
24 “You Israeli women, cry about Saul; He provided beautiful scarlet/red clothes for you and he gave you gold ornaments/jewelry to fasten on those clothes.
Kayong mga anak na babae ng Israel, umiyak sa ibabaw ni Saul, na siyang nagbihis sa inyo ng pulang kasuotan, na naglagay ng palamuti ng ginto sa inyong mga kasuotan.
25 “[It is very sad that] this mighty soldier has died! Jonathan has been killed on the mountains/hills.
Paano napabagsak ang isang magiting sa gitna ng labanan! Si Jonatan ay pinatay sa inyong mataas mga lugar.
26 Jonathan, my dear friend, I grieve for you; you were very dear to me. You loved me in a wonderful manner; it was better than the way that a woman loves [her husband and her children].
Ako ay namimighati para sa iyo, aking kapatid na Jonatan. Ikaw ay minahal ko ng lubusan. Ang pagmamahal mo sa akin ay kahanga-hanga, higit pa sa pagmamahal ng mga kababaihan.
27 “It is very sad that those mighty men have died, and their weapons are now abandoned!
Paano napabagsak ang magigiting, at ang mga sandata sa digmaan ay nasira!”
