I Samuel 24
1 Idi nagsubli ni Saul manipud iti panangkamkamatna kadagiti Filisteo, naibaga kenkuana, “Adda ni David iti let-ang ti Engedi.”
And when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, they told him, saying: Behold, David is in the desert of Engaddi.
2 Inkuyog ngarud ni Saul ti tallo ribu a napili a lallaki a naggapu iti entero nga Israel ket napanda binirok ni David ken dagiti tattaona idiay Kabatoan nga ayan dagiti Atap a Kalding.
Saul therefore took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went out to seek after David, and his men, even upon the most craggy rocks, which are accessible only to wild goats.
3 Nakagteng isuna kadagiti pagaponan dagiti karnero iti igid ti dalan, nga ayan ti kueba. Immuneg ni Saul tapno umibleng. Ita, agtugtugaw ni David ken dagiti tattaona iti akin un-uneg a paset ti kueba.
And he came to the sheepcotes, which were in his way. And there was a cave, into which Saul went, to ease nature: now David and his men lay hid in the inner part of the cave.
4 Kinuna dagiti tattao ni David kenkuana, “Daytoy ti aldaw nga insao ni Yahweh idi imbagana kenka, 'Iyawatkonto ti kabusormo iti imam, tapno maaramidmo kenkuana ti kayatmo.”' Ket timmakder ni David ken nagarudok ket nangragas iti gayadan ti kagay ni Saul.
And the servants of David said to him: Behold the day, of which the Lord said to thee: I will deliver thy enemy unto thee, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good in thy eyes. Then David arose, and secretly cut off the hem of Saul’s robe.
5 Kalpasanna, saan a makaidna ni David gapu iti panangragasna iti gayadan ti kagay ni Saul.
After which David’s heart struck him, because he had cut off the hem of Saul’s robe.
6 Kinunana kadagiti tattaona, “Saan koma nga itulok ni Yahweh nga aramidek daytoy iti apok, a pinulotan ni Yahweh, a dangrak isuna agsipud ta ammok a ni Yahweh ti nangpili kenkuana.”
And he said to his men: The Lord be merciful unto me, that I may do no such thing to my master the Lord’s anointed, as to lay my hand upon him, because he is the Lord’s anointed.
7 Binagbagaan ngarud ni David dagiti tattaona babaen kadagitoy a sasao, ket saanna ida a pinalubosan a mangdarup kenni Saul. Timmakder ni Saul, pimmanaw isuna idiay kueba ket intuloyna ti nagna.
And David stopped his men with his words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rising up out of the cave, went on his way.
8 Kalpasanna, timmakder met ti David, pimmanaw isuna idiay kueba ket pinukkawanna ni Saul: “Apok nga ari.” Idi timmalliaw ni Saul iti malikudanna, nagkurno ni David ket impakitana kenkuana ti panagraemna.
And David also rose up after him: and going out of the cave cried after Saul, saying: My lord the king. And Saul looked behind him: and David bowing himself down to the ground, worshipped,
9 Kinuna ni David kenni Saul, “Saanka koma a dumngeg kadagiti lallaki a mangibagbaga, 'Kitaem, kayatnaka a dangran ni David.'
And said to Saul: Why dost thou hear the words of men that say David seeketh thy hurt?
10 Ita nga aldaw nakita dagiti matam ti panangiyawat ni Yahweh kenka iti imak idi addata iti uneg ti kueba. Imbaga dagiti dadduma kaniak a patayenka, ngem saanka nga inan-ano. Kinunak, 'Saankonto a dangran ti apok; ta pinulotan isuna ni Yahweh.'
Behold this day thy eyes have seen, that the Lord hath delivered thee into my hand, in the cave, and I had a thought to kill thee, but my eye hath spared thee. For I said: I will not put out my hand against my lord, because he is the Lord’s anointed.
11 Kitaem, amak, kitaem ti gayadan ti kagaymo iti imak. Ta kinapudnona, nangragasak iti gayadan ti kagaymo ket saanka a pinatay, maamirismo koma ken makitam koma nga awan ti dakes wenno saanka a liniputan, ken saanak a nagbasol kenka, urayno an-anupennak ken kayatmo a pukawen ti biagko.
Moreover see and know, O my father, the hem of thy robe in my hand, that when I cut, off the hem of thy robe, I would not put out my hand against thee. Reflect, and see, that there is no evil in my hand, nor iniquity, neither have I sinned against thee: but thou liest in wait for my life, to take it away.
12 Kedngannata koma ni Yahweh, ket ibalesnak koma ni Yahweh maibusor kenka, ngem saankanto a dangran.
The Lord judge between me and thee, and the Lord revenge me of thee: but my hand shall not be upon thee.
13 Kas iti pagsasao a maibagbaga idi, 'Manipud iti nadangkes, umay ti kinadangkes.' Ngem saanakto a bumusor kenka.
As also it is said in the old proverb: From the wicked shall wickedness come forth: therefore my hand shall not be upon thee. After whom dost thou come out, O king of Israel?
14 Siasino koma met ngay daytoy nga an-anupen ti ari ti Israel? Siasino ngay koma daytoy a kamkamatem? Iti maysa a natay nga aso! Iti maysa a timel!
After whom dost thou pursue? After a dead dog, after a flea.
15 Ni Yahweh koma ti mangikeddeng ket kedngannata koma a dua, ken usigenna daytoy, ken patganna ti asugko ket palubosannak a makalibas manipud iti imam.”
Be the Lord judge, and judge between me and thee, and see, and judge my cause, and deliver me out of thy hand.
16 Apaman a naibaga ni David dagitoy a sasao kenni Saul, kinuna ni Saul, “Timekmo kadi daytoy, anakko a David?” Impukkaw ni Saul ket nagsangit.
And when David had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, Saul said: Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
17 Kinunana kenni David, “Nalinlintegka ngem siak. Ta sinubadannak iti naimbag, idinto ta siak dakes ti insubadko kenka.
And he said to David: Thou art more just than I: for thou hast done good to me, and I have rewarded thee with evil.
18 Impakitam ita nga aldaw ti kinaimbagmo kaniak, ta saannak a pinatay idi inyawatnak ni Yahweh iti kaasim.
And thou hast shewn this day what good things thou hast done to me: how the Lord delivered me into thy hand, and thou hast not killed me.
19 Ta no masarakan ti maysa a tao ti kabusorna, saanna a palubosan a pumanaw daytoy a sitatalged. Gunggonaannaka koma ni Yahweh iti kinaimbag gapu iti inaramidmo kaniak ita nga aldaw.
For who when he hath found his enemy, will let him go well away? But the Lord reward thee for this good turn, for what thou hast done to me this day.
20 Ita, ammok nga awan duadua nga agbalinkanto nga ari ken mapatalgedto iti imam ti pagarian ti Israel.
And now as I know that thou shalt surely be king, and have the kingdom of Israel in thy hand:
21 Isapatam kaniak iti nagan ni Yahweh a saanmonto a pukawen dagiti kaputotak a sumaruno kaniak, ken saanmonto a dadaelen ti naganko manipud iti balay ni amak.”
Swear to me by the Lord, that thou wilt not destroy my seed after me, nor take away my name from the house of my father.
22 Nagsapata ngarud ni David kenni Saul. Kalpasanna, nagawid ni Saul, ngem simmang-at ni David ken dagiti tattaona a nagturong iti natalged a disso.
And David swore to Saul. So Saul went home: and David and his men went up into safer places.
