< 1 Samuel 14 >
1 Nangyari nga isang araw, na si Jonathan na anak ni Saul ay nagsabi sa bataan na tagadala ng kaniyang sandata, Halika at tayo'y dumaan sa pulutong ng mga Filisteo, na nasa dakong yaon. Nguni't hindi niya ipinagbigay alam sa kaniyang ama.
And when a certain day arrived, Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man that bore his armour, Come, and let us go over to Messab of the Philistines that is on the other side yonder; but he told not his father.
2 At tumigil si Saul sa kaduluduluhang bahagi ng Gabaa sa ilalim ng puno ng granada na nasa Migron: at ang bayan na nasa kaniya ay may anim na raang lalake.
And Saul sat on the top of the hill under the pomegranate tree that is in Magdon, and there were with him about six hundred men.
3 At si Achias na anak ni Achitob, na kapatid ni Ichabod, na anak ni Phinees, na anak ni Eli, na saserdote ng Panginoon sa Silo, ay nagsusuot ng epod. At hindi nalalaman ng bayan na si Jonathan ay yumaon.
And Achia son of Achitob, the brother of Jochabed the son of Phinees, the son of Heli, [was] the priest of God in Selom wearing an ephod: and the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.
4 At sa pagitan ng mga daanan, na pinagsikapan ni Jonathan na pagdaanan ng pulutong ng mga Filisteo, ay mayroong isang tila tukang bato sa isang dako at isang tila tukang bato sa kabilang dako: at ang pangalan ng isa ay Boses at ang pangalan niyaon isa ay Sene.
And in the midst of the passage whereby Jonathan sought to pass over to the encampment of the Philistines, there was both a sharp rock on this side, and a sharp rock on the other side: the name of the one [was] Bases, and the name of the other Senna.
5 Ang isang tila tuka ay pataas sa hilagaan sa tapat ng Michmas, at ang isa ay sa timugan sa tapat ng Gabaa.
The one way [was] northward to one coming to Machmas, and the other way [was] southward to one coming to Gabae.
6 At sinabi ni Jonathan sa bataan na tagadala ng kaniyang sandata: Halika at tayo ay dumaan sa pulutong ng mga hindi tuling ito: marahil ang Panginoon ay tutulong sa atin: sapagka't hindi maliwag sa Panginoon na magligtas sa pamamagitan ng marami o ng kaunti.
And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour, Come, let us go over to Messab of these uncircumcised, if [perhaps] the Lord may do something for us; for the Lord is not straitened to save by many or by few.
7 At sinabi sa kaniya ng tagadala niya ng sandata, Gawin mo ang buong nasa loob mo: lumiko ka, narito, ako'y sumasa iyo ayon sa nasa loob mo.
And his armour-bearer said to him, Do all that your heart inclines towards: behold, I [am] with you, my heart [is] as your heart.
8 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Jonathan, Narito, tayo'y dumaan sa mga lalaking yaon, at tayo'y pakikilala sa kanila.
And Jonathan said, Behold, we will go over to the men, and will come down suddenly upon them.
9 Kung kanilang sabihing ganito sa atin, Kayo'y maghintay hanggang sa kami ay dumating sa inyo; ay maghihintay nga tayo sa ating dako at hindi natin aahunin sila.
If they should say thus to us, Stand aloof there until we shall send you word; then we will stand still by ourselves, and will not go up against them.
10 Nguni't kung kanilang sabihing ganito, Ahunin ninyo kami; aahon nga tayo: sapagka't ibinigay sila ng Panginoon sa ating kamay: at ito ang magiging tanda sa atin.
[But] if they should say thus to us, Come up to us; then will we go up, for the Lord has delivered them into our hands; this [shall be] a sign to us.
11 At kapuwa nga sila napakilala sa pulutong ng mga Filisteo: at sinabi ng mga Filisteo: Narito, ang mga Hebreo na lumabas sa mga hukay na kanilang pinagtaguan.
And they both went in to Messab of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of their Caves, where they had hidden themselves.
12 At sumagot ang mga lalake sa pulutong kay Jonathan at sa kaniyang tagadala ng sandata, at sinabi, Ahunin ninyo kami, at pagpapakitaan namin kayo ng isang bagay. At sinabi ni Jonathan sa kaniyang tagadala ng sandata, Umahon ka na kasunod ko: sapagka't ibinigay sila ng Panginoon sa kamay ng Israel.
And the men of Messab answered Jonathan and his armour-bearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing: and Jonathan said to his armour-bearer, Come up after me, for the Lord has delivered them into the hands of Israel.
13 At gumapang si Jonathan ng kaniyang mga kamay at ng kaniyang mga paa, at ang kaniyang tagadala ng sandata ay kasunod niya. At sila'y nangabuwal sa harap ni Jonathan; at ang mga yao'y pinagpapatay ng kaniyang tagadala ng sandata na kasunod niya.
And Jonathan went up on his hands and feet, and his armour-bearer with him; and they looked on the face of Jonathan, and he struck them, and his armour-bearer did strike [them] after him.
14 At yaon ang unang pagpatay na ginawa ni Jonathan at ng kaniyang tagadala ng sandata, sa may dalawang pung lalake, sa may pagitan ng kalahating akre ng lupa.
And the first slaughter which Jonathan and his armour-bearer effected was twenty men, with darts and slings, and pebbles of the field.
15 At nagkaroon ng panginginig sa kampamento, sa parang, at sa buong bayan: ang pulutong at ang mga mananamsam ay nagsipanginig din; lumindol; sa gayo'y nagkaroon ng totoong malaking pagkayanig.
And there was dismay in the camp, and in the field; and all the people in Messab, and the spoilers were amazed; and they would not act, and the land was terror-struck, and there was dismay from the lord.
16 At ang mga bantay ni Saul sa Gabaa ng Benjamin ay tumanaw; at, narito, ang karamihan ay nawawala at sila'y nagparoo't parito.
And the watchmen of Saul saw in Gabaa of Benjamin, and, behold, the army was thrown into confusion on every side.
17 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Saul sa bayan na kasama niya, Magbilang kayo ngayon at inyong tingnan kung sino ang umalis sa atin. At nang sila'y magbilang, narito, si Jonathan at ang kaniyang tagadala ng sandata ay wala roon.
And Saul said to the people with him, Number yourselves now, and see who has gone out from you: and they numbered themselves, and behold, Jonathan and his armour-bearer were not found.
18 At sinabi ni Saul kay Achias, Dalhin ninyo rito ang kaban ng Dios. Sapagka't ang kaban ng Dios ay nandoon nang panahong yaon sa mga anak ni Israel.
And Saul said to Achia, Bring the ephod; for he wore the ephod in that day before Israel.
19 At nangyari, samantalang nagsasalita si Saul sa saserdote, na ang kaingay na nasa kampamento ng mga Filisteo ay lumala ng lumala: at sinabi ni Saul sa saserdote, Iurong mo ang iyong kamay.
And it came to pass while Saul was speaking to the priest, that the sound in the camp of the Philistines continued to increase greatly; and Saul said to the priest, Withdraw your hands.
20 At nagpipisan si Saul at ang buong bayan na nasa kaniya at naparoon sa pakikibaka: at, narito, ang tabak ng bawa't isa ay laban sa kaniyang kasama, at nagkaroon ng malaking pagkalito.
And Saul went up and all the people that were with him, and they come to the battle: and, behold, [every] man's sword was against his neighbour, a very great confusion.
21 Ang mga Hebreo nga na napasa mga Filisteo nang una, na umahong kasama nila sa kampamento mula sa palibot ng lupain, ay nagsibalik pa rin na nakipisan sa mga Israelita na kasama ni Saul at ni Jonathan.
And the servants who had been before with the Philistines, who had gone up to the army, turned themselves also to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
22 Gayon din ang mga lalake sa Israel na nagsikubli sa lupaing maburol ng Ephraim, na nang kanilang mabalitaan na ang mga Filisteo ay tumakas, ay nakihabol pati sila sa kanila sa pakikipagbaka.
And all the Israelites who were hidden in mount Ephraim heard also that the Philistines fled; and they also gather themselves after them to battle: and the Lord saved Israel in that day; and the war passed through Bamoth; and all the people with Saul were about ten thousand men.
23 Gayon iniligtas ng Panginoon ang Israel nang araw na yaon: at ang pagbabaka ay napalipat sa Beth-aven.
And the battle extended itself to every city in the mount Ephraim.
24 At ang mga lalake sa Israel ay namanglaw nang araw na yaon: sapagka't ibinilin ni Saul sa bayan, na sinasabi, Sumpain ang lalake na kumain ng anomang pagkain hanggang sa kinahapunan, at ako'y nakaganti sa aking mga kaaway. Sa gayo'y wala sinoman sa bayan na lumasap ng pagkain.
And Saul committed a great trespass of ignorance in that day, and he lays a curse on the people, saying, Cursed [is] the man who shall eat bread before the evening; so I will avenge myself on my enemy: and none of the people tasted bread, though all the land was dining.
25 At ang buong bayan ay naparoon sa gubat; at may pulot sa ibabaw ng lupa.
And Jaal was a wood abounding in swarms of bees on the face of the ground.
26 At nang dumating ang bayan sa gubat, narito, ang pulot ay tumutulo nguni't walang tao na naglagay ng kaniyang kamay sa kaniyang bibig; sapagka't ang bayan ay natakot sa sumpa.
And the people went into the place of the bees, and, behold, they continued speaking; and, behold, there was none that put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath of the Lord.
27 Nguni't hindi narinig ni Jonathan, nang ibilin ng kaniyang ama sa bayan na may sumpa: kaya't kaniyang iniunat ang dulo ng tungkod na nasa kaniyang kamay at isinagi sa pulot, at inilagay ang kaniyang kamay sa kaniyang bibig, at ang kaniyang mga mata ay lumiwanag.
And Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people; and he reached forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, an dipped it into the honeycomb, and returned his hand to his mouth, and his eyes recovered their sight.
28 Nang magkagayo'y sumagot ang isa sa bayan, at nagsabi, Ibiniling mahigpit ng iyong ama sa bayan na may sumpa, na sinasabi, Sumpain ang tao na kumain ng pagkain sa araw na ito. At ang bayan ay pata.
And one of the people answered and said, Your father solemnly adjured the people, saying, Cursed [is] the man who shall eat bread today. And the people were very faint,
29 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Jonathan, Binagabag ng aking ama ang lupain: tingnan ninyo, isinasamo ko sa inyo, kung paanong ang aking mga mata ay lumiwanag, sapagka't ako'y lumasa ng kaunti sa pulot na ito.
and Jonathan knew it, and said, My father has destroyed the land: see how my eyes have received sight [now] that I have tasted a little of this honey.
30 Gaano pa kaya kung ang bayan ay kumaing may kalayaan ngayon sa samsam sa kanilang mga kaaway na kanilang nasumpungan? sapagka't hindi nagkaroon ng malaking patayan ngayon sa gitna ng mga Filisteo.
Surely if the people had this day eaten freely of the spoils of their enemies which they found, the slaughter amongst the Philistines would have been greater.
31 At kanilang sinaktan ang mga Filisteo nang araw na yaon mula sa Michmas hanggang sa Ajalon: at ang bayan ay totoong pata.
And on that day he struck some of the Philistines in Machmas; and the people were very weary.
32 At ang bayan ay dumaluhong sa samsam, at kumuha ng mga tupa, at mga baka, at mga guyang baka, at mga pinatay sa lupa: at kinain ng bayan pati ng dugo.
And the people turned to the spoil; and the people took flocks, and herds, and calves, and killed them on the ground, and the people ate with the blood.
33 Nang magkagayo'y kanilang isinaysay kay Saul, na sinasabi, Narito, ang bayan ay nagkakasala laban sa Panginoon, sa kanilang pagkain ng dugo. At kaniyang sinabi, Kayo'y gumawang may paglililo: inyong igulong ang isang malaking bato sa akin sa araw na ito.
And it was reported to Saul, saying, The people have sinned against the Lord, eating with the blood: and Saul said, Out of Getthaim roll a great stone to me hither.
34 At sinabi ni Saul, Magsikalat kayo sa bayan at inyong sabihin sa kanila, Dalhin sa akin dito ng bawa't tao ang kaniyang baka, at ng bawa't tao ang kaniyang tupa, at patayin dito, at kanin; at huwag nang magkasala laban sa Panginoon sa pagkain ng dugo. At dinala ng buong bayan, bawa't tao ang kaniyang baka nang gabing yaon at pinatay roon.
And Saul said, Disperse yourselves amongst the people, and tell them to bring hither every one his calf, and every one his sheep: and let them kill it on this [stone] and sin not against the Lord in eating with the blood: and the people brought each one that which was in his hand, and they killed [them] there.
35 At nagtayo si Saul ng isang dambana sa Panginoon: yaon ang unang dambana na itinayo niya sa Panginoon.
And Saul built an altar there to the Lord: this was the first altar that Saul built to the Lord.
36 At sinabi ni Saul, Ating lusungin na sundan ang mga Filisteo sa kinagabihan, at atin silang samsaman hanggang sa pagliliwanag sa umaga, at huwag tayong maglabi ng isang tao sa kanila. At kanilang sinabi, Gawin mo ang inaakala mong mabuti sa iyo. Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ng saserdote, Tayo'y lumapit dito sa Dios.
And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines this night, and let us plunder amongst them till the day break, and let us not leave a man amongst them. And they said, Do all that is good in your sight: and the priest said, let us draw near hither to God.
37 At si Saul ay humingi ng payo sa Dios: Lulusungin ko ba na susundan ang mga Filisteo? ibibigay mo ba sila sa kamay ng Israel? Nguni't hindi siya sinagot nang araw na yaon.
And Saul enquired of God, If I go down after the Philistines, will you deliver them into the hands of Israel? And he answered him not in that day.
38 At sinabi ni Saul, Lumapit kayo rito, kayong lahat na puno ng bayan: at maalaman at makita kung saan nanggaling ang kasalanang ito sa araw na ito.
And Saul said, Bring hither all the chiefs of Israel, and know and see by whom this sin has been committed this day.
39 Sapagka't buhay nga ang Panginoon na nagliligtas sa Israel, na kahit si Jonathan na aking anak, ay walang pagsalang mamatay. Nguni't walang tao sa buong bayan na sumagot sa kaniya.
For as the Lord lives who has saved Israel, if answer should be against my son Jonathan, he shall surely die. And there was no one that answered out of all the people.
40 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi niya sa buong Israel, Lumagay kayo sa isang dako, at ako at si Jonathan na aking anak ay lalagay sa kabilang dako. At sinabi ng bayan kay Saul, Gawin mo ang inaakala mong mabuti sa iyo.
And he said to all the men of Israel, You shall be under subjection, and I an Jonathan my son will be under subjection: and the people said to Saul, Do that which is good in your sight.
41 Kaya sinabi ni Saul sa Panginoon, sa Dios ng Israel, Ituro mo ang matuwid. At si Jonathan at si Saul ay napili: nguni't ang bayan ay nakatanan.
And Saul said, O Lord God of Israel, why have you not answered your servant this day? [is] the iniquity in me, or in Jonathan my son? Lord God of Israel, give clear [manifestations]; and if [the lot] should declare this, give, I pray you, to your people of Israel, give, I pray, holiness. And Jonathan and Saul are taken, and the people escaped.
42 At sinabi ni Saul, Pagsapalaran ninyo ako at si Jonathan na aking anak: at si Jonatan ay napili.
And Saul said, Cast [lots] between me and my son Jonathan: whoever the Lord shall cause to be taken by lot, let him die: and the people said to Saul, This thing is not [to be done]: and Saul prevailed against the people, and they cast [lots] between him and Jonathan his son, and Jonathan is taken by lot.
43 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Saul kay Jonathan, Saysayin mo sa akin kung ano ang iyong ginawa. At isinaysay ni Jonathan sa kaniya, at sinabi, Tunay na ako'y lumasa ng kaunting pulot sa dulo ng tungkod na nasa aking kamay: at, narito, ako'y marapat mamatay.
And Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what you have done: and Jonathan told him, and said, I did indeed taste a little honey, with the end of my staff that was in my hand, and, behold! I [am to] die.
44 At sinabi ni Saul, Gawing gayon ng Dios at lalo na: sapagka't ikaw ay walang pagsalang mamamatay, Jonathan.
And Saul said to him, God do so to me, and more also, you shall surely die today.
45 At sinabi ng bayan kay Saul, Mamamatay ba si Jonathan, na gumawa nitong dakilang kaligtasan sa Israel? Malayo nawa: buhay ang Panginoon, hindi malalaglag ang isang buhok ng kaniyang ulo sa lupa; sapagka't siya'y gumawa na kasama ng Dios sa araw na ito. Sa gayo'y iniligtas ng bayan si Jonathan, na anopa't siya'y hindi namatay.
And the people said to Saul, Shall he that has wrought this great salvation in Israel be put to death this day? [As] the Lord lives, there shall not fall to the ground one of the hairs of his head; for the people of God have wrought successfully this day. And the people prayed for Jonathan in that day, and he died not.
46 Nang magkagayo'y umahon si Saul na mula sa pagsunod sa mga Filisteo: at ang mga Filisteo ay naparoon sa kanilang sariling dako.
And Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines departed to their place.
47 Nang masakop nga ni Saul ang kaharian sa Israel, ay bumaka siya laban sa lahat niyang mga kaaway sa bawa't dako, laban sa Moab, at laban sa mga anak ni Ammon, at laban sa Edom, at laban sa mga hari sa Soba, at laban sa mga Filisteo: at saan man siya pumihit ay kaniyang binabagabag sila.
And Saul received the kingdom, by lot he inherits the office [of ruling] over Israel: and he fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against the children of Edom, and against Baethaeor, and against the king of Suba, and against the Philistines: wherever he turned, he was victorious.
48 At kaniyang ginawang may katapangan, at sinaktan ang mga Amalecita, at iniligtas ang Israel sa mga kamay ng mga sumamsam sa kanila.
And he wrought valiantly, and struck Amalec, and rescued Israel out of the hand of them that trampled on him.
49 Ang mga anak nga ni Saul ay si Jonathan, at si Isui, at si Melchi-sua: at ang pangalan ng kaniyang dalawang anak na babae ay ito; ang pangalan ng panganay ay Merab, at ang pangalan ng bata ay Michal:
And the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Jessiu, and Melchisa: and [these were] the names of his two daughters, the name of the firstborn Merob, and the name of the second Melchol.
50 At ang pangalan ng asawa ni Saul ay Ahinoam, na anak ni Aimaas: at ang pangalan ng kaniyang kapitan sa hukbo ay Abner na anak ni Ner, amain ni Saul.
And the name of his wife was Achinoom, the daughter of Achimaa: and the name of his captain of the host was Abenner, the son of Ner, son of a kinsman of Saul.
51 At si Cis ay ama ni Saul; at si Ner na ama ni Abner ay anak ni Abiel.
And Kis [was] the father of Saul, and Ner, the father of Abenezer, [was] son of Jamin, son of Abiel.
52 At nagkaroon ng mahigpit na pagbabaka laban sa mga Filisteo sa lahat ng mga araw ni Saul: at sa tuwing nakakakita si Saul ng sinomang makapangyarihang lalake, o ng sinomang matapang na lalake ay kaniyang ipinagsasama.
And the war was vehement against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man, and any valiant man, then he took them to himself.
