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?”
And David fled from Nayoth near Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is my iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh 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.”
And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father is not wont to do a great thing or a small thing, which he doth not inform me of; and why should my father conceal 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.”
But David swore again, and said, Thy father well knoweth that I have found grace in thy eyes; wherefore he said, Jonathan must not know this, lest he be grieved: nevertheless, as truly as the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, there was but one step between me and death.
4 Ket kinuna ni Jonatan kenni David, “Aniaman nga ibagam, aramidek para kenka.”
Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul sayeth will I do for thee.
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.
And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, tomorrow is the new-moon, and I should as usual sit with the king to eat; but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field until the third 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 thy father at all miss me, then do thou say, David asked earnestly leave of me that he might run to Beth-lechem his city; for there is a 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 should say thus, It is well: then shall thy servant have peace; but if it be at all displeasing to him, then know that the evil is determined on 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?”
And do thou deal kindly with thy servant; for into a covenant of the Lord hast thou brought thy servant with thee; but if there be in me any iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldst thou bring me to thy father?
9 Kinuna ni Jonatan, “Adayo a mapasamak kenka dayta! No natakuatak koma nga inkeddeng ti amak a madangranka, saanko kadi nga ibaga kenka?”
And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee; for if I should know for certain that evil were determined on by my father to come upon thee, would I not tell it thee?
10 Ket kinuna ni David kenni Jonatan, “Siasinonto ti mangibaga kaniak no kas pangarigan ta sungbatannaka a sigugubsang ti amam?”
Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell it me? or what, if thy father answer thee roughly?
11 Kinuna ni Jonatan kenni David, “Umayka, mapanta idiay away.” Ket napanda a dua iti tay-ak.
And Jonathan said unto David, Come, let us go out into the field. And they went out, both of them, 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?
And Jonathan said unto David, May the God of Israel [punish me] if, when I have sounded my father about this time tomorrow, or of the third day, and, behold, if he be good toward David, I do not then send unto thee, and inform thee of it.
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.
May the Lord do so to Jonathan and continue so yet farther, that, if it please my father [to do] thee evil, I will inform thee of it, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace; and may the Lord be with thee, as he hath 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?
And wilt thou not, should I be yet alive, show me the kindness of the Lord, that I may 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, surely, thou wilt not withdraw thy kindness from my house for ever, not even when the Lord cutteth off the enemies of David, every one, from off the face 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 the house of David, [saying, ] May the Lord 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.
And Jonathan caused David to swear again, by his love for 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 David, Tomorrow is the new-moon: and thou wilt be missed, because thy seat will be left 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.
And when thou hast stayed till the third day, then shalt thou go down greatly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself on the work-day; and thou shalt remain by the stone Ezel.
20 Mangipanaakto iti tallo a pana iti igid daytoy, a kasla adda panpanaek.
And I will myself shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I were shooting 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.
And, behold, I will send the lad, saying, Go, find the arrows; if I should now say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee: then take him and come; for there is peace to thee, and it is nothing; as the Lord liveth.
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 thus I should say unto the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee: then go thy way, for the Lord hath sent thee off.
23 Maipanggep iti nagnummoanta, pudno, adda ni Yahweh iti nagbaetanta iti agnanayon.'”
And touching the matter of which we have spoken, thou and I, behold, the Lord is between me and thee for ever.
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: and when the new-moon was come, the king set himself down to the repast to eat.
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.
And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, upon the seat by the wall: and when Jonathan arose, Abner seated himself by the side of Saul, and David's place was left 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 spoke not the least on that day; for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; because he hath not yet purified himself.
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?”
And it came to pass on the morrow, the second day of the new-moon, that David's place was left empty; and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore is the son of Jesse not come, both yesterday and today, to the repast?
28 Simmungbat ni Jonatan kenni Saul, “Nagpakada kaniak ni David a mapan isuna idiay Betlehem.
And Jonathan answered Saul, David asked earnestly leave of me to go as far as Beth-lechem.
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.”
And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for we have a family-sacrifice in the city, and my brother himself hath commanded it to me; and now, if I have found favor in thy eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, that I may see my brothers: therefore is he not come unto 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?
And the anger of Saul was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of perverse rebelliousness! do I not know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thy own shame, and to the shame of thy 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 all the days that the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou wilt not have any permanence with thy kingdom: therefore now send and fetch him unto 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?”
And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be put to death? what hath 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.
And Saul cast his spear at him to smite him: and Jonathan understood that it was determined on by his father 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.
And Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no food on the second day of the new-moon; for he was grieved for David; because his father had made him feel ashamed.
35 Iti kabigatanna, napan ni Jonatan iti away a nagtulaganda kenni David, ket adda maysa nga agtutubo a lalaki a kaduana.
And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field to the place appointed with David, and a little lad was 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.
And he said unto his lad, Run, do find out the arrows which I shoot: and the lad ran, and he shot the arrow so as to pass 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?”
And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan called after the lad, and said, Behold, the arrow is beyond thee!
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.
And Jonathan called after the lad, Make haste, speed, stay not: and Jonathan's lad 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 lad knew not the least: 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.”
And Jonathan gave his weapons unto the lad who was with him, and said unto 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.
And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose from the south side [of the stone], and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.
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.
And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace: what we have sworn, both of us, in the name of the Lord, saying, The Lord shall be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever, [shall be kept]. And he arose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city.
