I Samuel 23
1 Kinunada kenni David, “Kitaem, makirangranget dagiti Filisteo kadagiti adda iti Keila ket taktakawenda dagiti adda iti pagirikan.”
And it was told David, saying, behold, the Philistines war in Keila, and they rob, they trample on the threshing-floors.
2 Isu a nagkiddaw iti tulong ni David kenni Yahweh ket dinamagna, “Mapanak kadi ket rautek dagitoy a Filisteo?” Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni David, “Mapanka ket rautem dagiti Filisteo ket isalakanmo ti Keila.”
And David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go and strike these Philistines? And the Lord said, Go, and you shall strike these Philistines, and shall save Keila.
3 Kinuna dagiti tattao ni David kenkuana, “Mabutbutengtayo la ngaruden ditoy Juda. Saan kadi nga ad-adda pay no mapantayo makiranget iti armada dagiti Filisteo?”
And the men of David said to him, Behold, we are afraid here in Judea; and how shall it be if we go to Keila? Shall we go after the spoils of the Philistines?
4 Nagkararag ngarud manen ni David kenni Yahweh ket nagkiddaw iti tulong. Simmungbat ni Yahweh kenkuana, “Agrubwatka, sumalogka idiay Keila. Ta itedko kenka ti panagballigi kadagiti Filisteo.”
And David enquired yet again of the Lord; and the Lord answered him, and said to him, Arise and go down to Keila, for I will deliver the Philistines into your hands.
5 Napan idiay Keila ni David ken dagiti tattaona ket nakirangetda kadagiti Filisteo. Innalada dagiti arbanda ket dinarupda ida ket adu ti napatayda. Naisalakan ngarud ni David dagiti agnanaed idiay Keila.
So David and his men with him went to Keila, and fought with the Philistines; and they fled from before him, and he carried off their cattle, and struck them with a great slaughter, and David rescued the inhabitants of Keila.
6 Idi napan ni Abiatar nga anak ni Ahimelec kenni David idiay Keila, simmalog isuna nga adda iggemna a maysa nga efod.
And it came to pass when Abiathar the son of Achimelech fled to David, that he went down with David to Keila, having and ephod in his hand.
7 Naibaga kenni Saul a napan ni David idiay Keila. Kinuna ni Saul, “Inyawat isuna ti Dios iti imak. Ta saan isunan a makalibas gapu ta simrek isuna iti siudad nga addaan kadagiti ruangan ken pader.
And it was told Saul that David was come to Keila: and Saul said, God has sold him into my hands, for he is shut up, having entered into a city that has gates and bars.
8 Pinaayaban ni Saul amin a soldadona tapno sumalogda idiay Keila a mangraut kenni David ken dagiti tattaona.
And Saul charged all the people to go down to war to Keila, to besiege David and his men.
9 Ammo ni David a dakes ti pangpanggepen ni Saul kenkuana. Kinunana kenni Abiatar a padi, “Iyegmo ditoy ti efod.”
And David knew that Saul spoke openly of mischief against him: and David said to Abiathar the priest, Bring the ephod of the Lord.
10 Ket kinuna ni David, “Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, pudno a nangngeg ti adipenmo a kayat ni Saul ti umay ditoy Keila, tapno dadaelenna ti siudad gapu kaniak.
And David said, Lord God of Israel, your servant has indeed heard, that Saul seeks to come against Keila to destroy the city on my account.
11 Iyawatdakto kadi dagiti tattao iti Keila kenkuana? Sumalog kadi ni Saul, kas iti nangngeg ti adipenmo? Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, agpakpakaasiak kenka, pangngaasim ta ibagam iti adipenmo.” Kinuna ni Yahweh, “Sumalog isuna.”
Will [the place] be shut up? And now will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? Lord God of Israel, tell your servant.
12 Ket kinuna ni David, “Dagiti tattao kadi iti Keila ket iyawatdakto ken dagiti tattaok iti ima ni Saul?” Kinuna ni Yahweh, “Iyawatdakanto.”
And the Lord said, It will be shut up.
13 Ket ni David ken dagiti tattaona nga agarup innem a gasut, nagrubwatda ket pimmanawda manipud Keila ket nagakar-akarda manipud iti maysa a lugar agingga iti sabali pay a lugar. Naidanon kenni Saul a nakalibas ni David idiay Keila, ket insardengnan ti panangkamkamatna.
And David arose, and the men with him, in number about four hundred, and they went forth from Keila, and went wherever they could go: and it was told Saul that David had escaped from Keila, and he forbore to come.
14 Nagtalinaed ni David iti paglemlemmenganda idiay let-ang, iti katurturodan a pagilian iti let-ang ti Zif. Inaldaw a binirbirok ni Saul isuna ngem saan nga inyawat isuna ti Dios kenkuana.
And he lived in Maserem in the wilderness, in the narrow [passes]; and lived in the wilderness in mount Ziph, in the dry country. And Saul sought him continually, but the Lord delivered him not into his hands.
15 Naamiris ni David a rimmuar ni Saul a mangpukaw iti biagna; ita, adda idi ni David iti let-ang ti Zif idiay Horesh.
And David perceived that Saul went forth to seek David; and David was in the dry mountain in the New Ziph.
16 Ket ni Jonatan nga anak ni Saul, nagrubwat ket napan kenni David idiay Horesh, ket pinapigsana ti pakinakem ni David nga agtalek iti Dios.
And Jonathan son of Saul rose, and went to David to Caene, and strengthened his hands in the Lord.
17 Kinunana kenkuana, “Saanka nga agbuteng. Ta ti ima ni Saul nga amak ket saannakanto a mabirokan. Sikanto ti agbalin nga ari iti Israel ket sumarunoak laeng kenka. Ammo met daytoy ni Saul nga amak.”
And he said to him, Fear not, for the hand of Saul my father shall not find you; and you shall be king over Israel, and I shall be second to you; and Saul my father knows it.
18 Nagtinnulagda iti sangoanan ni Yahweh. Nagtalinaed ni David idiay Horesh, ket nagawid met ni Jonatan.
So they both made a covenant before the Lord; and David lived in Caene, and Jonathan went to his home.
19 Ket dagiti taga-Zif, immayda kenni Saul idiay Gabaa ket kinunada, “Saan kadi nga aglemlemmeng ni David iti ayantayo iti paglemlemmenganda idiay Horesh, iti turod ti Hakilah nga abagatan a paset ti Jesimon?
And the Ziphites came up out of the dry country to Saul to the hill, saying, Behold, is not David hidden with us in Messara, in the narrows in Caene in the hill of Echela, which is on the right of Jessaemon?
20 Sumalogka itan, apo ari! Kas iti tartarigagayam, sumalogka! Ti pasetmi ket ti mangiyawat kenkuana iti ima ti ari.”
And now [according to] all the king's desire to come down, let him come down to us; they have shut him up into the hands of the king.
21 Kinuna ni Saul, “Bendisionannakayo koma ni Yahweh. Ta adda panangngaasiyo kaniak.
And Saul said to them, Blessed [be] you of the Lord, for you have been grieved on my account.
22 Mapankayo ket siguradoenyo a nalaing. Ammoenyo ken takuatenyo no sadino ti disso a paglemlemmenganna ken no siasino ti nakakita kenkuana sadiay. Naibaga kaniak a nasikap unay isuna.
Go, I pray you, and make preparations yet, and notice his place where his foot shall be, quickly, in that place which you spoke of, lest by any means he should deal craftily.
23 Isu a kitaenyo ken ammoenyo amin dagiti lugar a paglemlemmenganna. Agsublikayo kaniak nga addaan iti sigurado nga impormasyon, ket makikuyogakto kadakayo nga agsubli. No adda isuna idiay a daga, birokekto isuna kadagiti amin a rinibu ti Juda.”
Take notice, then, and learn, and I will go with you; and it shall come to pass that if he is in the land, I will search him out amongst all the thousands of Juda.
24 Nagrubwatda ngarud ket napanda idiay Zif, immun-unada ngem ni Saul. Ita, adda idi ni David ken dagiti tattaona idiay let-ang ti Maon idiay Araba nga abagatan a paset ti Jesimon.
And the Ziphites arose, and went before Saul: and David and his men [were] in the wilderness of Maon, westward, to the right of Jessaemon.
25 Napan ni Saul ken dagiti tattaona sadiay a mangbirok kenkuana. Ket naibaga daytoy kenni David, isu a simmalog isuna idiay kabatoan a turod ket nagtalinaed isuna idiay let-ang ti Maon. Idi nangngeg ni Saul daytoy, sinurotna ni David idiay let-ang ti Maon.
And Saul and his men went to seek him: and they brought word to David, and he went down to the rock that was in the wilderness of Maon: and Saul heard, and followed after David to the wilderness of Maon.
26 Napan ni Saul iti maysa a paset ti bantay, ket ni David ken dagiti tattaona, agturongda iti sabali a paset ti bantay. Nagdardaras ni David nga immadayo manipud kenni Saul. Bayat a palpalikmutan ni Saul ken dagiti tattaona ni David ken dagiti tattaona tapno tiliwenda ida,
And Saul and his men go on one side of the mountain, and David and his men are on the other side of the mountain: and David was hiding himself to escape from Saul: and Saul and his men encamped against David and his men, in order to take them.
27 maysa a mensahero ti immay kenni Saul ket kinunana, “Darasenyo, umaykayon, rinaut dagiti Filisteo ti daga.”
And there came a messenger to Saul, saying, Haste you, and come here, for the Philistines have invaded the land.
28 Isu a saanen nga intuloy ni Saul ti panangkamkamatna kenni David ket napanda nakiranget kadagiti Filisteo. Isu a naawagan dayta a lugar iti Bato a Naglibasan.
So Saul returned from following after David, and went to meet the Philistines: therefore that place was called The divided Rock.
29 Simmang-at ni David manipud sadiay ket nagtalinaed iti paglemlemmenganda idiay Engedi.
And David rose up from thence, and lived in the narrow passes of Engaddi.
