I Samuel 30
1 Ket napasamak nga iti maikatlo nga aldaw idi nakagtengen ni David ken dagiti tattaona idiay Siclag, a naammoanda nga immay rimmaut dagiti Amalekita iti Negev ken Siklag. Rinautda ti Siklag, pinuoranda daytoy,
Three days later, when David and his men arrived at Ziklag, [they discovered that] men of the Amalek people-group had raided Ziklag and [towns in] the southern part of Judah. They had destroyed Ziklag and burned down all the buildings.
2 ket tiniliwda dagiti babbai ken amin nga adda iti daytoy, babassit ken dadakkel. Awan pinatayda ngem intalawda ida iti ipapanawda.
They had captured the women [and the children] and everyone else, and had taken them away. But they had not killed anyone.
3 Idi dimteng ni David ken dagiti tattaona iti siudad, napuoranen daytoy— ket naitalaw dagiti assawada, dagiti annakda a lallaki ken babbai.
When David and his men came to Ziklag, they saw that the town had been burned, and that their wives and sons and daughters had been captured and taken away.
4 Ket nagriaw ken nagsangsangit ni David ken dagiti tattao a kakaduana agingga a naawanandan iti kabaelan nga agsangit.
David and his men cried loudly, until [they were so weak that] they could not cry [any more].
5 Naitalaw ti dua nga asawa ni David, ni Ahinoam a taga-Jezreel ken Abigail nga asawa ni Nabal a taga-Carmel.
David’s two wives, Ahinoam and Abigail, had also been taken away.
6 Mariribukan unay ni David, gapu ta pagsasaritaan dagiti tattao ti maipapan iti pananguborda kenkuana, gapu ta nagladingit ti espiritu dagiti amin a tattao, tunggal tao para iti annakna a lallaki ken babbai; ngem pinapigsa ni David ti nakemna gapu kenni Yahweh a Diosna.
David’s men were threatening to [kill him by] throwing stones at him, because they were very angry because their sons and daughters [had been taken away]. David was very distressed, but Yahweh his God gave him strength.
7 Kinuna ni David kenni Abiatar a padi nga anak ni Ahimelec, “Pangngaasim, iyegmo ditoy ti efod.” Inyeg ni Abiatar ti efod kenni David.
David [did not know what to do, so he] said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring to me the sacred vest.” So Abiathar brought it,
8 Dinamag ni David kenni Yahweh no ania ti rumbeng nga aramidenna, kinunana, “No kamatek dagitoy a bunggoy, makamakamko kadi ida?” Simmungbat ni Yahweh kenkuana, “Kamatem ida, ta awan duadua a makamakammo ida ken awan duadua a mapasublim amin nga innalada.”
and David asked Yahweh, “Should I [and my men] pursue the men [who took our families]? Will we [be able to] catch up to them?” Yahweh answered [by means of the stones in Abiathar’s sacred pouch], “Yes, pursue them. You will catch up to them, and you will be able to rescue [your families].”
9 Napan ngarud ni David, isuna ken ti innem a gasut a tattao a kakaduana. Dimtengda iti waig ti Besor, a nagbatian dagiti napanawan.
So David and the 600 men who were with him left, and they came to the Besor Ravine. Some of his men stayed there [with some of their supplies].
10 Ngem intuloy ni David ti panangkamkamakamna, isuna ken dagiti uppat a gasut a tattaona; ta dua gasut ti napanawan a nakapsut unay ken saanda a makaballasiw iti waig ti Besor.
David and 400 men continued to pursue [the men who captured their families]. The other 200 men stayed there at the ravine, because they were so exhausted that they could not cross the ravine.
11 Nasarakanda iti maysa a taga-Egipto iti tay-ak ket impanda kenni David; inikkanda iti tinapay ket nangan isuna; inikkanda iti danum nga inumenna;
[As David and the 400 men were going], they saw a man from Egypt in a field; so they took him to David. They gave the man some water to drink and some food to eat.
12 ken inikkanda iti maysa nga iwa ti tinapay a naaramid iti igos ken dua a raay ti pasas. Idi nalpasen a nangan, pimmigsa manen, ta saan isuna a nangan iti tinapay wenno imminom iti danum iti las-ud ti tallo nga aldaw ken tallo a rabii.
They also gave him a piece of fig cake and two clusters/packs of raisins. The man had not had anything to eat or drink for three days and nights, but [after he ate and drank] he felt refreshed.
13 Kinuna ni David kenkuana, “Siasino ti nakaibilangam? Sadino ti naggapuam?” Kinunana, “Maysaak nga agtutubo iti Egipto, adipen ti maysa nga Amalekita; pinanawannak ti apok gapu ta nagsakitak tallo nga aldawen ti napalabas.
David asked him, “Who is your master? And where do you come from?” He replied, “I am from Egypt. I am a slave of a man from the Amalek people-group. Three days ago my master left me here, because I was sick [and I was not able to go with them].
14 Rinautmi iti Negev dagiti Kereteo, ti sakup ti Juda, ken ti Negev ni Caleb ket pinuoranmi ti Siklag.”
We had raided the southern part of Judah where the Kereth people-group live, and some other towns in Judah, and the area south [of Hebron city] where the descendants of Caleb live. We also burned Ziklag [town].”
15 Kinuna ni David kenkuana, “Mabalin nga ipannak kadagitoy a bunggoy dagiti napan rimmaut? Kinuna ti Egipcio, “Ikarim kaniak babaen iti Dios a saannak a papatayen wenno saannak nga iyawat kadagiti ima ti apok, ket ipanka iti daytoy a bunggoy dagiti napan rimmaut.”
David asked him, “Can you lead us to this group of raiders?” He replied, “Yes, [I will do that] if you ask God to listen while you promise that you will not kill me or give me back to my master. If you promise that, I will take you to them.”
16 Idi kinuyog ti taga-Egipto ni David, nawaraswaras iti amin a suli dagiti kabusorda, agkakaan, agiinom ken agsasalada gapu kadagiti amin a nasamsam a banag nga innalada iti daga dagiti Filisteo ken manipud iti daga ti Juda.
[David agreed to do that, ] so the man from Egypt led David [and his men] to where the men from the Amalek people-group were. Those men were lying on the ground, eating and drinking and celebrating because of having captured many things from the Philistia and Judah areas.
17 Sumipnget idi dinarup ida ni David agingga iti rabii ti simmaruno nga aldaw. Awan ti uray maysa a nakalibas malaksid iti uppat a gasut nga agtutubo a lallaki, a nakasakay iti kamelio ket naglibas.
David [and his men] fought against them from sunset that day until the evening of the following day. Four hundred of them escaped and rode away on camels, but none of the others escaped.
18 Napasubli amin ni David dagiti innala dagiti Amalekita; ken inispal ni David dagiti dua nga asawana.
David rescued his two wives, and he and his men got back everything else that the men of the Amalek people-group had taken.
19 Awan ti napukaw, bassit man wenno dakkel, uray annak a lallaki wenno babbai, uray dagiti nasamsam a banag wenno aniaman a banag nga innala dagiti rimmaut. Naisubli ni David amin.
Nothing was missing. They took all their people back [to Ziklag]—young people and old people, [their wives], their sons and their daughters. They also recovered all the other things that the men of the Amalek people-group had taken from Ziklag.
20 Innala amin ni David dagiti arban, nga inabog dagiti lallaki iti sangoanan dagiti sabali nga ay-ayup. Kinunada, “Daytoy dagiti nasamsam a kukua ni David.”
They took with them the sheep and cattle that had been captured, and his men caused those animals to go in front of them, saying, “These are animals that we captured in the battle; they belong to David!”
21 Nakadanon ni David iti ayan dagiti dua gasut a lallaki a kimmapsut unay a saan a nakasurot kenkuana, dagiti nagbati iti waig ti Besor. Sinabat dagitoy a lallaki ni David ken dagiti tattao a kaduana. Idi nakadanon ni David iti ayan dagitoy a tattao, kinablaawanna ida.
David and his men got back to where the other 200 men were waiting, the men who did not go with David because they were very exhausted. They had stayed at Besor Ravine. [When they saw David and his men coming], they went out to greet them. And David [greeted them and] said to them, “I hope that things are going well with you!”
22 Ket kinuna dagiti amin a nadangkes a lallaki ken awan serserbina a kakadua ni David a simmurot kenkuana, “Gapu ta saan a simmurot dagitoy a lallaki kadatayo, saantayo ida nga ikkan kadagiti nasamsam a banag a napasublitayo. Malaksid kadagiti assawada ken kadagiti annakda, alaenda ida ket pumanawdan.”
But some of the men who had gone with David, men who were evil and troublemakers, said, “These 200 men did not go with us. So we should not give to them any of the things that we recovered/captured. Each of them should take only his wife and children and go [back to their homes].”
23 Ket kinuna ni David, “Kakabsatko, saan a masapul a kastoy ti aramidenyo iti inted ni Yahweh kadatayo. Inaywanannatayo ken impaimana kadatayo dagiti nangraut kadatayo.
David replied, “No, my fellow Israelis, it would not be right to divide up like that the things that Yahweh has allowed us to capture. Yahweh has protected us and enabled us to defeat the enemies who attacked our town.
24 Siasino koma ti dumngeg kadakayo iti daytoy a banag? Ta ti bingay ket para kadagiti amin a napan iti gubat ken kasta met a ti bingay ket para kadagiti naguray iti ayan dagiti gargaret; maibingayanda ket mabingay a padapada.”
(Who will pay attention to you if you say things like that?/No one will pay attention to you if you say things like that.) [RHQ] The men who stayed here with our supplies will get the same amount that the men who went into the battle will get. They will all receive the same amount.”
25 Isu a manipud iti dayta nga aldaw agingga ita, pinagbalin ni David daytoy a kas maysa nga alagaden ken linteg iti Israel.
David made that to be a law [DOU] for the Israeli people, and that is still a law in Israel.
26 Idi dimteng ni David iti Siklag, pinatulodanna iti sumagmamano a nasamsam dagiti panglakayen ti Juda, dagiti gagayyemna, kinunana, “Adtoy dagiti sagut kadakayo manipud iti nasamsam a banbanag kadagiti kabusor ni Yahweh.”
When David [and all the others] arrived in Ziklag, David sent to his friends who were leaders in Judah some of the things that they had captured from the Amalek people-group. He said to them, “Here is a present for you. These are things that we took from Yahweh’s enemies.”
27 Kadagiti panglakayen nga adda idiay Betel, kadagiti adda idiay abagatan ti Ramot, kadagiti adda idiay Jattir,
[Here is a list of the cities and towns to whose leaders David sent gifts: ] Bethel, Ramoth in the southern part of Judah, Jattir,
28 kadagiti adda iti Aroer, kadagiti adda iti Sifmot ken kadagiti adda iti Estemoa.
Aroer, Siphmoth, Eshtemoa,
29 Kasta met kadagiti panglakayen nga adda idiay Racal, kadagiti adda iti siudad ti Jerameel, kadagiti adda iti siudad dagiti Kineo,
Racal, the cities where the descendants of Jehrameel lived and the cities where the Ken people-group lived,
30 kadagiti adda idiay Horma, kadagiti adda idiay Borasan, kadagiti adda idiay Atac,
Hormah, Bor-Ashan, Athach,
31 kadagiti adda idiay Hebron ken kadagiti lugar a masansan a pappapanan ni David ken dagiti tattaona.
Hebron, and all the other places where David and his men had gone [when they were hiding from Saul].
