< I Samuel 22 >

1 Pimmanaw ngarud ni David sadiay ket napan naglemmeng iti maysa a rukib idiay Adullam. Idi nangngeg daytoy dagiti kakabsatna ken amin nga adda iti balay ti amana, simmalogda iti ayanna.
David escaped and went to the cave of Adullam. When they heard where he was his brothers and all the rest of his family went and joined him there.
2 Amin a marirriribukan, amin a nakautang ken amin a saan a mapmapnek- naummongda amin iti ayanna. Ni David ti nagbalin a panguloda. Adda agarup uppat a gasut a lallaki a kaduana.
Everyone who was in trouble or in debt or resentful also came to him and he became their leader. He had around four hundred men with him.
3 Kalpasanna, pimmanaw ni David sadiay ket napan iti Mizpa idiay Moab. Kinunana iti ari ti Moab, “Ipalubosmo koma a makipagnaed kenka ti amak ken ti inak agingga a maammoak no ania ti aramiden ti Dios para kaniak.”
Then David went to Mizpeh in the country of Moab. He asked the king of Moab, “Please let my father and mother come and stay with you until I find out what God is planning for me.”
4 Imbatina ngarud ida iti ari ti Moab. Nakipagnaed ngarud kenkuana ti ama ken ti ina ni David kabayatan ti kaaddana iti paglemlemmenganna.
So he left them with the king of Moab, and they stayed with the king all the time David lived in the stronghold.
5 Kalpasanna, kinuna ni profeta Gad kenni David, “Saankan nga agtalinaed iti paglemlemmengam. Pumanawka ket mapanka iti daga ti Juda.” Isu a pimmanaw ni David sadiay ket napan iti kabakiran ti Heret.
But then the prophet Gad told David, “Do not stay in the stronghold. Go back to the land of Judah.” So David left and went to the forest of Hereth.
6 Nangngeg ni Saul a naammoanen ti ayan ni David, kaduana dagiti lallaki a tattaona. Ita, agtugtugaw idi ni Saul idiay Gabaa, iti sirok ti kayo a tamarisko idiay Rama, iggemna ti gayangna ken nakapalikmut kenkuana dagiti amin nga adipenna.
Saul found out that David had returned and where he was. Saul was sitting under the tamarisk tree on the hill in Gibeah. He had his spear in his hand, with all his officials surrounding him.
7 Kinuna ni Saul kadagiti adipenna a nakatakder iti aglawlawna, “Dumngegkayo ita, tattao ti Benjamin! Ikkannakayonto kadi ti anak ni Jesse iti taltalon ken pagmulaan iti ubas? Pagbalinennakayonto kadi a pangulo ti rinibribu ken pangulo ti ginasut-gasut,
Saul said to them, “Listen to me, you men of Benjamin! Is the son of Jesse going to give all of you fields and vineyards and make you commanders and officers in the army?
8 a kas maisubad kadakayo amin nga agpangpanggep iti dakes maibusor kaniak? Awan man laeng kadakayo ti nangipakaammo kaniak idi nakitulag ti anakko iti anak ni Jesse. Awan ti uray maysa kadakayo ti naasian kaniak! Awan man laeng kadakayo ti nangipakaammo kaniak nga inallukoy ti anakko ni David nga adipenko maibusor kaniak. Ita, aglemlemmeng isuna ket agur-uray iti nasayaat a gundaway a mangdarup kaniak.”
Is that why you've all plotted against me? Not a single one of you told me that my own son had made an agreement with Jesse's son. Not a single one of you has shown you cared about me, or explained to me that my son has encouraged him to try and kill me, which is what he's doing right now!”
9 Kalpasanna, simmungbat ni Doeg a taga-Edom, a nakatakder iti abay dagiti adipen ni Saul, kinunana, “Nakitak ti anak ni Jesse a dimteng idiay Nob, iti ayan ni Ahimelec nga anak ni Ahitub.
Doeg the Edomite, who was standing there with Saul's officers, spoke up, saying, “I saw the son of Jesse visit Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, at Nob.
10 Inkararagna kenni Yahweh a tulonganna koma isuna, ken impaayna pay kenkuana dagiti kiniddawna ken ti kampilan ni Goliat a Filisteo.”
Ahimelech asked advice from the Lord for him and gave him food. He gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine as well.”
11 Ket nangibaon ti ari iti mangayab iti padi a ni Ahimelec nga anak ni Ahitub ken amin nga adda iti balay ti amana, dagiti padi nga adda idiay Nob. Aminda ket immay iti ayan ti ari.
The king sent a message to summon Ahimelech the priest, son of Ahitub, and all his family, who were priests at Nob. They all came to the king.
12 Kinuna ni Saul, “Dumngegka ita, anak ni Ahitub.” Simmungbat isuna, “Adtoyak, apok.”
“Now you listen, son of Ahitub,” the king shouted. “What is it, my lord?” Ahimelech asked.
13 Kinuna ni Saul kenkuana, “Apay a pinagpanggepandak iti dakes, sika ken ti anak ni Jesse, nga inikkam pay isuna iti tinapay, ken maysa a kampilan, ken inkararagmo iti Dios a tulonganna koma isuna tapno bumusor kaniak, tapno makapaglemmeng a kas iti ar-aramidenna ita?”
“Why have you and the son of Jesse plotted against me? You gave him bread and a sword, and asked advice from God for him so that he could rebel against me and try and kill me, which is what he's doing right now!”
14 Ket simmungbat ni Ahimelec iti ari a kunana, “Siasino kadagiti amin nga adipenmo ti napudno unay a kas kenni David, a manugang ti ari ken pangulo dagiti guardiam, ken mararaem iti balaymo?
“Who of all your officers is as trustworthy as David, the king's son-in-law? He is in charge of your bodyguard, and highly respected in your family!” Ahimelech responded.
15 “Ita kadi laeng ti umuna a gundaway nga inkararagko iti Dios a tulonganna isuna? Adayo nga aramidek dayta! Saan koma nga ipabasol ti ari ti aniaman a banag iti adipenna wenno iti amin nga adda iti balay ti amak. Ta awan ti ammo ti adipenmo maipanggep iti daytoy a banag.”
“And was that day the first time he asked advice from God on his behalf? Of course not! The king should not accuse me your servant or any of my family, for I didn't know anything about any of this.”
16 Simmungbat ti ari, “Awan duadua a matayka, Ahimelec, sika ken amin nga adda iti balay ti amam.”
“You're going to die for this!” the king declared. “You and all your family!”
17 Kinuna ti ari kadagiti guardia a nakatakder iti aglawlawna, “Papatayenyo dagiti papadi ni Yahweh. Gapu ta nakikaduada met kenni David, ken gapu ta ammoda a pimmanaw isuna, ngem saanda nga impakaammmo daytoy kaniak.” Ngem saan a maitured dagiti adipen ti ari a papatayen dagiti papadi ni Yahweh.
Then the king turned to his bodyguards standing there and ordered them, “Kill these priests of the Lord, because they're on David's side! They knew he was a fugitive and yet they didn't tell me!” But the king's guards refused to attack the priests of the Lord.
18 Ket kinuna ti ari kenni Doeg, “Patayem dagiti papadi.” Nagpasango ngarud ni Doeg a taga-Edom ket dinarupna dagiti papadi; nakapatay isuna iti dayta nga aldaw iti walopulo ket lima a tattao a nakasuot iti efod.
So the king ordered Doeg, “You kill the priests!” Doeg the Edomite attacked and killed the priests, killing eighty-five men wearing the priestly ephod.
19 Babaen iti tadem ti kampilan, rinautna ti Nob a siudad dagiti papadi, amin a lallaki ken babbai, ubbing ken maladaga, bakbaka ken dagiti asno ken dagiti karnero. Pinatayna amin ida babaen iti tadem ti kampilan.
Then he went to Nob, the town of the priests, and slaughtered its men and women, children and infants, cattle, donkeys, and sheep.
20 Ngem maysa kadagiti annak ni Ahimelec nga anak ni Ahitub a managan Abiatar ti nakalibas ket napan kenni David.
But one of the sons of Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, managed to escape. His name was Abiathar, and he ran away and joined David.
21 Imbaga ni Abiatar kenni David a pinapatay ni Saul dagiti papadi ni Yahweh.
He told David that Saul had killed the priests of the Lord.
22 Kinuna ni David kenni Abiatar, “Iti dayta nga aldaw a kaadda sadiay ni Doeg a taga-Edom, ammokon nga awan duadua nga idanonna kenni Saul. Siak ti akinbasol iti ipapatay ti amin a pamilia ti amam!
David told Abiathar, “I knew that day when Doeg the Edomite was there that he was going to tell Saul about it. It's my fault that all your family have died.
23 Makipaggianka kaniak ken saanka nga agbuteng. Ta ti mangtartarigagay a mangpukaw iti biagmo ket isu met laeng ti mangtartarigagay a mangpukaw iti biagko. Natalgedkanto iti ayanko.”
But you can stay with me and you don't need to be afraid, because the man who wants to kill you wants to kill me too. I'll take good care of you.”
