< 1 Samuel 18 >

1 When he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
At nangyari, nang siya'y makatapos na magsalita kay Saul, na ang kaluluwa ni Jonathan ay nalakip sa kaluluwa ni David, at minahal ni Jonathan siya na gaya ng kaniyang sariling kaluluwa.
2 Saul took David into his service that day; he did not let him return to his father's house.
At kinuha siya ni Saul nang araw na yaon, at hindi na siya tinulutang umuwi sa bahay ng kaniyang ama.
3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant of friendship because Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
Nang magkagayo'y si Jonathan at si David ay nagtibay ng isang tipan, sapagka't minahal niya siya na gaya ng kaniyang sariling kaluluwa.
4 Jonathan took off the robe that he was wearing and gave it to David with his armor, as well as his sword, bow, and belt.
At hinubad ni Jonathan ang kaniyang balabal na nakasuot sa kaniya, at ibinigay kay David, at ang kaniyang kasuutan pati ng kaniyang tabak, at ng kaniyang busog at ng kaniyang pamigkis.
5 David went out wherever Saul sent him, and he succeeded. Saul set him over the men of war. This was pleasing in the eyes of all the people and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
At lumalabas si David saan man suguin ni Saul, at siya'y nagpakabait: at inilagay ni Saul siya sa mga lalaking mangdidigma, at minabuti ng paningin ng buong bayan, at gayon din ng paningin ng mga lingkod ni Saul.
6 As they came home from defeating the Philistines, the women came from all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with musical instruments.
At nangyari pagdating nila, nang bumalik si David mula sa pagpatay sa Filisteo, na ang mga babae ay lumabas mula sa lahat ng mga bayan ng Israel, na nagaawitan at nagsasayawan, upang salubungin ang haring si Saul, ng mga pandereta, ng kagalakan, at ng panugtog ng tugtugin.
7 The women sang one to another as they played. They sang: “Saul has killed his thousands, and David his ten thousands.”
At nagaawitan ang mga babae sa kanilang pagtugtog, at sinasabi, Pinatay ni Saul ang kaniyang libolibo, At ni David ang kaniyang laksa-laksa.
8 Saul was very angry, and this song displeased him. He said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, but they have ascribed only thousands to me. What more can he have but the monarchy?”
At nagalit na mainam si Saul at ang sabing ito ay isinama niya ng loob; at kaniyang sinabi, Kanilang inilagay kay David ay laksalaksa, at sa akin ay kanilang inilagay ang libolibo lamang: at ano na lamang ang kaniyang tatangkilikin kundi ang kaharian?
9 Saul looked at David with suspicion from that day on.
At inirapan ni Saul si David mula sa araw na yaon.
10 The next day a harmful spirit from God rushed upon Saul and he raved within the house. So David played his instrument, as he did each day. Saul had a spear in his hand.
At nangyari nang kinabukasan, na ang masamang espiritu na mula sa Dios ay dumating na makapangyarihan kay Saul, at siya'y nanghula sa gitna ng bahay: at si David ay tumugtog ng kaniyang kamay, gaya ng kaniyang ginagawa araw-araw; at hawak ni Saul ang kaniyang sibat sa kaniyang kamay.
11 Saul threw the spear, for he thought, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David escaped from Saul's presence twice in this way.
At inihagis ni Saul ang sibat; sapagka't kaniyang sinabi, Aking tutuhugin si David sa dinding. At tumanan si David sa kaniyang harap na makalawa.
12 Saul was afraid of David, because Yahweh was with him, but was no longer with Saul.
At natakot si Saul kay David, sapagka't ang Panginoon ay sumasakaniya, at nahiwalay na kay Saul.
13 So Saul removed him from his presence and appointed him a commander of a thousand. In this way David went out and came in before the people.
Kaya't inihiwalay ni Saul siya sa kaniya, at siya'y ginawa niyang punong kawal sa isang libo; at siya'y naglalabas pumasok sa harap ng bayan.
14 David was prospering in all his ways, for Yahweh was with him.
Nagpakabait si David sa lahat ng kaniyang kilos; at ang Panginoon ay sumasakaniya.
15 When Saul saw that he prospered, he stood in awe of him.
At nang makita ni Saul na siya'y nagpakabait, siya'y natakot sa kaniya.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, for he went out and came in before them.
Nguni't minamahal ng buong Israel at Juda si David; sapagka't siya'y naglalabas pumasok sa harap nila.
17 Then Saul said to David, “Here is my oldest daughter Merab. I will give her to you as a wife. Only be courageous for me and fight Yahweh's battles.” For Saul thought, “Let not my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.”
At sinabi ni Saul kay David, Narito ang aking lalong matandang anak na babae na si Merab; siya'y aking ibibigay sa iyo na asawa: magpakatapang ka lamang dahil sa akin, at iyong ilaban ang mga pagbabaka ng Panginoon. Sapagka't sinabi ni Saul, Huwag pagbuhatan siya ng aking kamay, kundi ang kamay ng mga Filisteo, ang magbuhat sa kaniya.
18 David said to Saul, “Who am I, and who are my relatives, or my father's clan in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?”
At sinabi ni David kay Saul, Sino ako at ano ang aking buhay, o ang sangbahayan ng aking ama sa Israel, upang maging manugang ako ng hari?
19 But at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as a wife.
Nguni't nangyari na sa panahong ibibigay kay David si Merab na anak na babae ni Saul, ay ibinigay na asawa kay Adriel na Meholatita.
20 But Michal, Saul's daughter, loved David. They told Saul, and this pleased him.
At sinisinta ni Michal na anak na babae ni Saul si David: at kanilang isinaysay kay Saul, at ang bagay ay ikinalugod niya.
21 Then Saul thought, “I will give her to him, so that she can be a trap for him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David a second time, “You will be my son-in-law.”
At sinabi ni Saul, Aking ibibigay sa kaniya siya, upang siya'y maging silo sa kaniya, at upang ang kamay ng mga Filisteo ay maging laban sa kaniya. Kaya't sinabing ikalawa ni Saul kay David: Ikaw ay magiging aking manugang sa araw na ito.
22 Saul commanded his servants, “Speak with David in private, and say, 'See, the king takes pleasure in you, and all his servants love you. Now then, become the king's son-in-law.'”
At iniutos ni Saul sa kaniyang mga lingkod, na sinasabi, Makipagusap kayo kay David ng lihim, at inyong sabihin, Narito, kinatutuwaan ka ng hari at minamahal ka ng lahat ng kaniyang mga lingkod: ngayon nga ay maging manugang ka ng hari.
23 So Saul's servants spoke these words to David. Then David said, “Is it a small matter to you to be the king's son-in-law, since I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?”
At sinalita ng mga lingkod ni Saul ang mga salitang yaon sa pakinig ni David. At sinabi ni David, Inaakala ba ninyo na magaang bagay ang maging manugang ng hari, dangang ako'y isang dukhang tao at niwawalang kabuluhan?
24 The servants of Saul reported to him the words which David spoke.
At isinaysay ng mga lingkod ni Saul sa kaniya, na sinabi, Ganitong paraan nagsalita si David.
25 Then Saul said, “Say this to David, 'The king does not desire any price for the bride except a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged from the king's enemies.'” Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
At sinabi ni Saul, Ganito ang inyong sasabihin kay David: Hindi nagnanasa ang hari ng anomang bigaykaya, kundi isang daang balat ng masama ng mga Filisteo, upang mapanghigantihan ang mga kaaway ng hari. Ang balak nga ni Saul ay maibuwal si David sa pamamagitan ng kamay ng mga Filisteo.
26 When his servants told David these words, it pleased David to be the king's son-in-law.
At nang saysayin ng kaniyang mga lingkod kay David ang mga salitang ito, ay ikinalugod na mabuti ni David na maging manugang siya ng hari. At ang mga araw ay hindi pa nagaganap;
27 Before those days had expired, David went with his men and killed two hundred Philistines. David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, so that he might be the king's son-in-law. So Saul gave him Michal his daughter as his wife.
At tumindig si David at yumaon, siya at ang kaniyang mga lalake, at pumatay sa mga Filisteo ng dalawang daang lalake; at dinala ni David ang kanilang mga balat ng masama, at kaniyang ibinigay ng buong bilang sa hari, upang siya'y maging manugang ng hari. At ibinigay na asawa sa kaniya ni Saul si Michal na kaniyang anak na babae.
28 When Saul saw, and he knew that Yahweh was with David, and that Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him,
At nakita at nalaman ni Saul na ang Panginoon ay sumasa kay David; at sinisinta si David ni Michal na anak ni Saul.
29 Saul was even more afraid of David. Saul was continually David's enemy.
At si Saul ay lalong natatakot kay David; at naging kaaway ni David si Saul na palagi.
30 Then the princes of the Philistines came out for battle, and as often as they came out, David succeeded more than all the servants of Saul, so that his name was highly regarded.
Nang magkagayo'y lumabas ang mga pangulo ng mga Filisteo: at nangyari, na sa tuwing sila'y lumalabas ay nagpakabait si David kay sa lahat ng mga lingkod ni Saul; sa gayon ang kaniyang pangalan ay lalong namahal.
