< I Samuel 20 >

1 Kalpasanna, naglibas ni David manipud Najot iti Rama, immay kenni Jonatan ket kinunana, “Ania kadi ti naaramidko? Ania ti nadagsen a nakabasolak? Ania ti basolko iti amam, a kayatna pay a pukawen ti biagko?”
David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said to Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my iniquity? What is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?”
2 Kinuna ni Jonatan kenni David, “Adayo a mapasamak dayta; saanka a matay. Awan ti ar-aramiden ti amak a saanna nga ibaga kaniak, dakkel man wenno bassit a banag. Apay koma nga ilimed ti amak daytoy a banag kaniak? Saan a pudno dayta.”
He said to him, “Far from it; you will not die. Behold, my father does nothing either great or small, but that he discloses it to me. Why would my father hide this thing from me? It is not so.”
3 Ngem insapata manen ni David ket kinunana, “Ammo la unay ti amam a nasayaat ti pannakikaduam kaniak.” Kinunana, 'Saan koma a maammoan ni Jonatan daytoy, ta amangan no agladingit isuna.' Ngem kas iti kinapudno a sibibiag ni Yahweh, ken agingga a sibibiagka, maysa laengen nga addang ti baetmi kenni patay.”
David swore moreover, and said, “Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes; and he says, ‘Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved;’ but truly as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.”
4 Ket kinuna ni Jonatan kenni David, “Aniaman nga ibagam, aramidek para kenka.”
Then Jonathan said to David, “Whatever your soul desires, I will even do it for you.”
5 Kinuna ni David kenni Jonatan, “Inton bigat ket baro a bulan, ket masapul a sumangoak a makipangan iti ari. Ngem bay-annak koma a pumanaw, tapno makapaglemmengak iti away agingga iti rabii ti maikatlo nga aldaw.
David said to Jonathan, “Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to dine with the king; but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field to the third day at evening.
6 No birokennak ti amam, ibagam ngarud, “Nagpakada ni David kaniak a mapan biit isuna idiay Betlehem a siudadna, gapu ta isu ti tinawen a panagidatonda sadiay para iti sibubukel a pamiliada.'
If your father misses me at all, then say, ‘David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem, his city; for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family.’
7 No kunaenna, 'Ala, wen,' maaddaan iti talna ti adipenmo. Ngem no makaunget unay isuna, ammomon a dakes ti pangngeddengna.
If he says, ‘It is well,’ your servant shall have peace; but if he is angry, then know that evil is determined by him.
8 Ipaaymo ngarud ti kinaimbagmo iti adipenmo. Ta nakitulagka iti adipenmo iti sangoanan ni Yahweh. Ngem no adda basolko, papatayennak; ta apay pay laeng nga iyegnak iti amam?”
Therefore deal kindly with your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the LORD with you; but if there is iniquity in me, kill me yourself, for why should you bring me to your father?”
9 Kinuna ni Jonatan, “Adayo a mapasamak kenka dayta! No natakuatak koma nga inkeddeng ti amak a madangranka, saanko kadi nga ibaga kenka?”
Jonathan said, “Far be it from you; for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come on you, then would not I tell you that?”
10 Ket kinuna ni David kenni Jonatan, “Siasinonto ti mangibaga kaniak no kas pangarigan ta sungbatannaka a sigugubsang ti amam?”
Then David said to Jonathan, “Who will tell me if your father answers you roughly?”
11 Kinuna ni Jonatan kenni David, “Umayka, mapanta idiay away.” Ket napanda a dua iti tay-ak.
Jonathan said to David, “Come! Let’s go out into the field.” They both went out into the field.
12 Kinuna ni Jonatan kenni David, “Saksi koma ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel. Inton damagek iti amak iti kastoy met laeng nga oras inton bigat, wenno iti maikatlo nga aldaw, denggem, no adda nasayaat a panggep para kenni David, saankonto kadi aya nga ipatulod ken ipakaammo kenka?
Jonathan said to David, “By the LORD, the God of Israel, when I have sounded out my father about this time tomorrow, or the third day, behold, if there is good toward David, will not I then send to you and disclose it to you?
13 No pakaragsakan ti amak ti mangdangran kenka, aramiden koma ni Yahweh kenni Jonatan ken ad-adda pay koma no saanko nga ipakaammo kenka ken saanka a paadaywen, tapno makapanawka a natalna. Ni Yahweh koma ti kumuyog kenka, kas iti pannakikakaaddana iti amak.
The LORD do so to Jonathan and more also, should it please my father to do you evil, if I do not disclose it to you and send you away, that you may go in peace. May the LORD be with you as he has been with my father.
14 No sibibiagak pay laeng, saanmo kadi nga ipakita kaniak ti kinapudno ni Yahweh iti tulag, tapno saanak koma a matay?
You shall not only show me the loving kindness of the LORD while I still live, that I not die;
15 Ket saanmonto koma a putden a maminpinsan ti kinapudnom iti tulagmo iti balayko, inton pukawen ni Yahweh amin a kabusor ni David iti rabaw ti daga.”
but you shall also not cut off your kindness from my house forever, no, not when the LORD has cut off every one of the enemies of David from the surface of the earth.”
16 Nakitulag ngarud ni Jonatan iti balay ni David a kunana, “Sapay koma ta singirento ni Yahweh daytoy iti ima dagiti kabusor ni David.”
So Jonathan made a covenant with David’s house, saying, “The LORD will require it at the hand of David’s enemies.”
17 Pinagsapata manen ni Jonatan ni David gapu iti panagayatna kenkuana, gapu ta ay-ayatenna isuna kas iti panagayatna iti bukodna a kararua.
Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
18 Ket kinuna ni Jonatan kenkuana, “Inton bigat ket baro a bulan. Birokennakanto gapu ta awan ti nakatugaw iti tugawmo.
Then Jonathan said to him, “Tomorrow is the new moon, and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty.
19 Inton nakapagtalinaedka iti tallo nga aldaw, sumalogka a dagus ket umayka iti disso a naglemmengam inton madama a mapagtutungtongan dayta a banag, ket agtalinaedka iti bato nga Ezel.
When you have stayed three days, go down quickly and come to the place where you hid yourself when this started, and remain by the stone Ezel.
20 Mangipanaakto iti tallo a pana iti igid daytoy, a kasla adda panpanaek.
I will shoot three arrows on its side, as though I shot at a mark.
21 Ket ibaonkonto ti agtutubok a lalaki ket ibagak kenkuana, 'Mapanmo biroken dagiti impanak. No ibagak iti agtutubo a lalaki, 'Kitaem, adda dagiti pana iti dayta a paset; alaem ida,” ket umayka; ta addanto talged para kenka saan ket a pakadangran, iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon.
Behold, I will send the boy, saying, ‘Go, find the arrows!’ If I tell the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are on this side of you. Take them;’ then come, for there is peace to you and no danger, as the LORD lives.
22 “Ngem no ibagak iti agtutubo a lalaki, “Kitaem, adda iti labesmo dagiti pana,' nasken a pumanawkan, ta ibabaonnaka ni Yahweh nga umadayo.
But if I say this to the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are beyond you,’ then go your way, for the LORD has sent you away.
23 Maipanggep iti nagnummoanta, pudno, adda ni Yahweh iti nagbaetanta iti agnanayon.'”
Concerning the matter which you and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD is between you and me forever.”
24 Naglemmeng ngarud ni David iti tay-ak. Idi dimteng ti baro a bulan, nagtugaw ti ari tapno mangan.
So David hid himself in the field. When the new moon had come, the king sat himself down to eat food.
25 Nagtugaw ti ari iti tugawna, iti masansan a pagtugtugawanna, iti abay ti diding. Timmakder ni Jonatan, ket nagtugaw ni Abner iti abay ni Saul. Ngem awan ti nagtugaw iti tugaw ni David.
The king sat on his seat, as at other times, even on the seat by the wall; and Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul’s side, but David’s place was empty.
26 Ngem awan ti imbagbaga ni Saul iti dayta nga aldaw, gapu ta impagarupna, “Adda napasamak kenkuana. Saan isuna a nadalus; sigurado saan isuna a nadalus.”
Nevertheless Saul did not say anything that day, for he thought, “Something has happened to him. He is not clean. Surely he is not clean.”
27 Ngem iti maikadua nga aldaw, ti aldaw kalpasan ti baro a bulan, awan ti nakatugaw iti tugaw ni David. Kinuna ni Saul kenni Jonatan nga anakna, “Apay a saan nga immay ti anak ni Jesse iti pannangan, uray idi kalman ken ita nga aldaw?”
On the next day after the new moon, the second day, David’s place was empty. Saul said to Jonathan his son, “Why did not the son of Jesse come to eat, either yesterday, or today?”
28 Simmungbat ni Jonatan kenni Saul, “Nagpakada kaniak ni David a mapan isuna idiay Betlehem.
Jonathan answered Saul, “David earnestly asked permission of me to go to Bethlehem.
29 Kinunana, 'Pangngaasim ta palubosannak. Adda ngamin panagidaton nga aramiden ti pamiliami idiay siudad, ket imbilin ti kabsatko a lalaki nga addaak koma sadiay. Ita, no nasayaatak iti imatangmo, palubosannak koma a mapanko kitaen dagiti kakabsatko a lallaki.' Daytoy ti makagapu a saan isuna nga immay iti lamisaan ti ari.”
He said, ‘Please let me go, for our family has a sacrifice in the city. My brother has commanded me to be there. Now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me go away and see my brothers.’ Therefore he has not come to the king’s table.”
30 Ket simged ti pungtot ni Saul kenni Jonatan, ket kinunana kenkuana, “Sika nga anak ti dakes ken managsukir a babai! Ti kunam kadi ket saanko nga ammo a pinilim ti anak ni Jesse a pakaibabainam, ken pakaibabainan ti inam a nangipasngay kenka?
Then Saul’s anger burned against Jonathan, and he said to him, “You son of a perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness?
31 Ta agingga a sibibiag ti anak ni Jesse iti rabaw ti daga, sika man wenno ti pagariam ket saanto a maisaad. Ita ngarud, ibaon ken iyegmo isuna kaniak, ta masapul a matay isuna.”
For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, you will not be established, nor will your kingdom. Therefore now send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die!”
32 Simmungbat ni Jonatan kenni Saul nga amana, “Ania ti makagapu a nasken a mapapatay isuna! Ania ti naaramidna?”
Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, “Why should he be put to death? What has he done?”
33 Ket ginayang ni Saul ni Jonatan tapno patayenna isuna. Isu nga ammon ni Jonatan a kayat unay ti amana a patayen ni David.
Saul cast his spear at him to strike him. By this Jonathan knew that his father was determined to put David to death.
34 Makapungtot unay a timmakder ni Jonatan iti lamisaan ket saan a nangnangan iti maikadua nga aldaw ti bulan, ta nakaro ti panagladingitna para kenni David, gapu ta imbabain isuna ti amana.
So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month; for he was grieved for David, because his father had treated him shamefully.
35 Iti kabigatanna, napan ni Jonatan iti away a nagtulaganda kenni David, ket adda maysa nga agtutubo a lalaki a kaduana.
In the morning, Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little boy with him.
36 Kinunana iti agtutubona a lalaki, “Tumarayka ket birokem dagiti pana nga ipanak.” Ket bayat nga agtartaray ti agtutubo a lalaki, nangipana isuna iti maysa a pana iti labesna.
He said to his boy, “Run, find now the arrows which I shoot.” As the boy ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
37 Idi nakadanon ti agtutubo a lalaki iti disso a nagdissoan ti pana nga impana ni Jonatan, pinukkawan ni Jonatan ti agtutubo a lalaki a kunana, “Saan kadi nga adda ti pana iti labesmo?”
When the boy had come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the boy, and said, “Is not the arrow beyond you?”
38 Ket pinukkawan ni Jonatan ti agtutubo a lalaki, “Darasem! Saanka nga agbayag!” Inurnong ngarud ti lalaki nga agtutubo ni Jonatan dagiti pana ket immay iti ayan ti amona.
Jonathan cried after the boy, “Go fast! Hurry! Do not delay!” Jonathan’s boy gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
39 Ngem awan ammo ti agtutubo a lalaki. Da laeng Jonatan ken David ti makaammo iti dayta a banag.
But the boy did not know anything. Only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
40 Inted ni Jonatan dagiti igamna iti agtutubona a lalaki ket kinunana kenkuana, “Mapankan, ipanmo dagitoy iti siudad.”
Jonathan gave his weapons to his boy, and said to him, “Go, carry them to the city.”
41 Apaman a nakapanaw ti agtutubo a lalaki, timmakder ni David manipud iti abagatan a paset, nagpakleb iti daga, ket namitlo a daras a nagpakleb isuna iti daga. Naginnagekda iti maysa ken maysa ken nagsinnangitda, ngem nakarkaro ti panagsangsangit ni David.
As soon as the boy was gone, David arose out of the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times. They kissed one another and wept with one another, and David wept the most.
42 Kinuna ni Jonatan kenni David, “Mapanka a natalna, gapu ta nagkinnarita iti nagan ni Yahweh a kinunata, 'Adda koma ni Yahweh iti agnanayon iti nagbaetanta ken iti nagbaetan dagiti kaputotak ken kaputotam.” Ket timmakder ni David sa pimmanaw, ket nagsubli ni Jonatan iti siudad.
Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, because we have both sworn in the LORD’s name, saying, ‘The LORD is between me and you, and between my offspring and your offspring, forever.’” He arose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city.
