< 1 Samuel 26 >

1 The Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah and said, “Is not David hiding in the hill of Hakilah, which is before Jeshimon?”
Dumating ang mga Zipiteo kay Saul sa Gibea at sinabing, “Hindi ba nagtatago si David sa burol ng Hacila, na bago ang desyerto?”
2 Then Saul arose and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
Pagkatapos tumayo si Saul at bumaba sa ilang ng Zip, na may tatlong libong piling kalalakihan ng Israel na kasama niya, upang hanapin si David sa desyerto ng Zip.
3 Saul camped on the hill of Hakilah, which is before Jeshimon, by the road. But David was staying in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul was coming after him into the wilderness.
Nagkampo si Saul sa burol ng Hacila, na bago sa desyerto, na malapit sa daanan. Ngunit si David ay nanatili sa desyerto, at nakita niya na paparating si Saul kasunod niya sa desyerto.
4 So David sent out spies and learned that Saul had indeed come.
Kaya nagpadala si David ng mga espiya at napag-alaman niyang totoong dumating si Saul.
5 David arose and went to the place where Saul had camped; he saw the place where Saul lay, and Abner son of Ner, the general of his army; Saul lay in the camp, and the people were camped around him, all asleep.
Tumayo si David at pumunta sa lugar kung saan nagkampo si Saul; nakita niya ang lugar kung saan nagpapahinga si Saul, at si Abner anak na lalaki ni Ner, ang heneral ng kanyang hukbo; Nagpapahinga si Saul sa kampo, at nagkampo ang mga tao palibot sa kanya, natutulog ang lahat.
6 Then David said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai son of Zeruiah, the brother of Joab, “Who will go down with me to Saul in the camp?” Abishai said, “I! I will go down with you.”
Pagkatapos sinabi ni David kay Ahimelec na Hiteo, at kay Abisai anak na lalaki ni Zeruia, ang lalaking kapatid ni Joab, “Sino ang sasama sa akin pababa sa kampo ni Saul?” sinabi ni Abisai, “Sasama ako pababa sa iyo.”
7 So David and Abishai went to the army by night. Saul was there sleeping inside the camp with his spear stuck in the ground beside his head. Abner and his soldiers lay around him.
Kaya pumunta si David at Abisai sa hukbo nang gabi. At nandoon si Saul na natutulog sa loob ng kampo, kasama ang kanyang sibat na nakatusok sa lupa sa tabi ng kanyang ulo. Nagpapahinga si Abner at kanyang mga sundalo sa palibot niya.
8 Then Abishai said to David, “Today God has put your enemy into your hand. Now please let me pin him to the ground with the spear with just one blow. I will not strike him a second time.”
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Abisai kay David, “Sa araw na ito inilagay ng Diyos sa iyong kamay ang iyong kaaway. Ngayon pakiusap hayaan mong itusok ko siya sa lupa sa pamamagitan ng sibat sa isang bagsak lamang. Hindi ko siya hahampasin ng pangalawang pagkakataon.”
9 David said to Abishai, “Do not destroy him; for who can extend his hand against Yahweh's anointed one and be guiltless?”
Sinabi ni David kay Abisai, “Huwag mo siyang patayin, sapagkat sino ang mag-aabot ng kanyang kamay laban sa hinirang ni Yahweh at hindi magkakasala?”
10 David said, “As Yahweh lives, Yahweh will kill him, or his day will come to die, or he will go into battle and perish.
Sinabi ni David, “Habang nabubuhay si Yahweh, papatayin siya ni Yahweh, o darating ang araw na mamamatay siya, o pupunta siya sa labanan at mamamatay.
11 May Yahweh forbid that I should extend my hand against his anointed one; but now, I beg you, take the spear that is at his head and the jar of water, and let us go.”
Nawa'y ipagbawal ni Yahweh na dapat kong iunat ang aking kamay laban sa kanyang tinalaga, kaya ngayon, kunin mo ang sibat na nasa kanyang ulo at ang banga ng tubig, at umalis na tayo.”
12 So David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul's head, and they got away. No one saw them or knew about it, nor did anyone wake up, for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from Yahweh had fallen on them.
Kaya kinuha ni David ang sibat at ang banga ng tubig mula sa ulo ni Saul at umalis na sila. Walang ni isang nakakita sa kanila o nakaalam tungkol dito, ni isang tao ang nagising, dahil nakatulog silang lahat, dahil mahimbing na pagtulog ang ibinigay ni Yahweh sa kanila.
13 Then David went over to the other side and stood on the top of the mountain far off; a great distance was between them.
Pagkatapos pumunta si David sa kabilang dako at tumayo sa tuktok ng bundok sa malayo, isang malayong pagitan ang nasa kanila.
14 David shouted out to the people and to Abner son of Ner; he said, “Do you not answer, Abner?” Then Abner answered and said, “Who are you who is shouting to the king?”
Sumigaw si David sa mga tao at kay Abner anak na lalaki ni Ner, sinabi niya, “Hindi ka ba sasagot, Abner?” Pagkatapos sumagot at sinabi ni Abner, “Sino kang sumisigaw sa hari?”
15 David said to Abner, “Are not you a courageous man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your master the king? For someone came in to kill the king your master.
Sinabi ni David kay Abner, “Hindi ka ba isang taong matapang? Sino ang katulad mo sa Israel? Bakit hindi ka nagbantay sa iyong panginoon na hari? Dahil may ibang taong dumating upang patayin ang hari na iyong panginoon.
16 This thing you have done is not good. As Yahweh lives, you deserve to die because you have not kept watch over your master, Yahweh's anointed one. Now see where the king's spear is and the jar of water that was near his head!”
Hindi maganda ang bagay na ito na iyong ginawa. Habang nabubuhay si Yahweh, nararapat kang mamatay dahil hindi mo binantayan ang iyong panginoon na hinirang ni Yahweh. At ngayon tingnan mo kung nasaan ang sibat ng hari, at ang banga ng tubig na nasa kanyang ulonan.”
17 Saul recognized David's voice and said, “Is that your voice, my son David?” David said, “It is my voice, my master, king.”
Nakilala ni Saul ang boses ni David at sinabi, “Boses mo ba iyan, anak kong David?” sinabi ni David, “Ito ang aking boses, aking panginoong hari.”
18 He said, “Why does my master pursue his servant? What have I done? What evil is in my hand?
Sinabi niya, “Bakit tinutugis ng hari ang kanyang lingkod? Ano ang aking nagawa? Anong kasamaan ang nasa aking kamay?
19 Now therefore, I beg you, let my master the king listen to the words of his servant. If it is Yahweh who has stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering; but if it is human beings, may they be cursed in the sight of Yahweh, for they have today driven me out, that I should not cling to the inheritance of Yahweh; they have said to me, 'Go worship other gods.'
Samakatuwid ngayon, nagmakaawa ako sa iyo, hayaang pakinggan ng aking panginoon na hari ang mga salita ng kanyang lingkod. Kung si Yahweh na nag-udyok sa iyo laban sa akin, hayaan siyang tumanggap ng isang handog; ngunit kung mga tao ito, nawa'y isumpa sila sa paningin ni Yahweh, dahil sa araw na ito inilayo nila ako, na hindi dapat ako kumapit sa pamana ni Yahweh, na kanilang sinabi sa akin, “Sumamba ka sa ibang mga diyos.”
20 Now therefore, do not let my blood fall to the earth away from Yahweh's presence; for the king of Israel has come out to look for the one flea as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains.”
Samakatuwid ngayon, huwag hayaang dumanak ang aking dugo sa lupa mula sa presensya ni Yahweh, para sa hari ng Israel na dumating at humanap sa isang pulgas, bilang isang naghahanap ng ibon sa mga bundok.”
21 Then Saul said, “I have sinned. Return, David, my son; for I will harm you no more, because my life was precious in your eyes today. See, I have played the fool and have made a very bad mistake.”
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Saul, “Nagkasala ako. Bumalik ka, David, anak ko, hindi na kita kailanman sasaktan, dahil natatangi ang aking buhay sa iyong mga mata ngayon. Tingnan mo, naging mangmang ako at lubusang nagkamali.”
22 David answered and said, “See, your spear is here, king! Let one of the young men come over and get it and bring it to you.
Sumagot si David at sinabi, “Tingnan mo, aking hari, narito ang iyong sibat! Hayaan mong lumapit ang isa sa iyong batang kalalakihan at kunin ito at dalhin ito sa iyo.
23 May Yahweh pay each man for his righteousness and his faithfulness; because Yahweh put you into my hand today, but I would not strike his anointed.
Nawa pagbayarin ni Yahweh ang bawat tao para sa kanyang kadakilaan at kanyang katapatan, dahil inilagay ito ni Yahweh sa araw na ito, ngunit hindi ko sasaktan ang kanyang tinalaga.
24 See, as your life was precious in my eyes today, so may my life be much valued in the eyes of Yahweh, and may he rescue me out of all trouble.”
At tingnan mo, tulad ng buhay mong katangi-tangi sa aking mga mata sa araw na ito, kaya nawa maging mas mahalaga ang buhay ko sa mga mata ni Yahweh, at nawa iligtas niya ako mula sa lahat ng kaguluhan.”
25 Then Saul said to David, “May you be blessed, David my son! You will certainly do great things and you will succeed in them.” So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Saul kay David, “Nawa pagpalain ka, anak kong David, upang makagawa ka ng mga dakilang bagay, at tunay na magtatagumpay ka.” Kaya lumakad si David, at bumalik si Saul sa kanyang lugar.
