1 Samuel 18
1 At nangyari, nang siya'y makatapos na magsalita kay Saul, na ang kaluluwa ni Jonathan ay nalakip sa kaluluwa ni David, at minahal ni Jonathan siya na gaya ng kaniyang sariling kaluluwa.
[And it came to pass when he had finished speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David and David loved him ] [as his own soul. ]
2 At kinuha siya ni Saul nang araw na yaon, at hindi na siya tinulutang umuwi sa bahay ng kaniyang ama.
[And Saul took him in that day, and did not suffer him to return to his father's house. ]
3 Nang magkagayo'y si Jonathan at si David ay nagtibay ng isang tipan, sapagka't minahal niya siya na gaya ng kaniyang sariling kaluluwa.
[And Jonathan and David made a covenant because he loved him as his own soul. ]
4 At hinubad ni Jonathan ang kaniyang balabal na nakasuot sa kaniya, at ibinigay kay David, at ang kaniyang kasuutan pati ng kaniyang tabak, at ng kaniyang busog at ng kaniyang pamigkis.
[And Jonathan stripped himself of his ] [upper garment, and gave it to David, and his mantle and all he had upon him, even to his sword and to his bow, and to his girdle. ]
5 At lumalabas si David saan man suguin ni Saul, at siya'y nagpakabait: at inilagay ni Saul siya sa mga lalaking mangdidigma, at minabuti ng paningin ng buong bayan, at gayon din ng paningin ng mga lingkod ni Saul.
[And David went out withersoever Saul sent him, and ] [acted wisely, and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was pleasing in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul. ]
6 At nangyari pagdating nila, nang bumalik si David mula sa pagpatay sa Filisteo, na ang mga babae ay lumabas mula sa lahat ng mga bayan ng Israel, na nagaawitan at nagsasayawan, upang salubungin ang haring si Saul, ng mga pandereta, ng kagalakan, at ng panugtog ng tugtugin.
And there came out women in dances to meet David out of all the cities of Israel, with timbrels, and with rejoicing, and with cymbals.
7 At nagaawitan ang mga babae sa kanilang pagtugtog, at sinasabi, Pinatay ni Saul ang kaniyang libolibo, At ni David ang kaniyang laksa-laksa.
And the women began [the strain], and said, Saul has struck his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
8 At nagalit na mainam si Saul at ang sabing ito ay isinama niya ng loob; at kaniyang sinabi, Kanilang inilagay kay David ay laksalaksa, at sa akin ay kanilang inilagay ang libolibo lamang: at ano na lamang ang kaniyang tatangkilikin kundi ang kaharian?
And it seemed evil in the eyes of Saul concerning this matter, and he said, To David they have given ten thousands, and to me they have given thousands. [And what more can he have but the kingdom? ]
9 At inirapan ni Saul si David mula sa araw na yaon.
[And Saul eyed David from that day and onward. ]
10 At nangyari nang kinabukasan, na ang masamang espiritu na mula sa Dios ay dumating na makapangyarihan kay Saul, at siya'y nanghula sa gitna ng bahay: at si David ay tumugtog ng kaniyang kamay, gaya ng kaniyang ginagawa araw-araw; at hawak ni Saul ang kaniyang sibat sa kaniyang kamay.
[And it came to pass on the morrow that an evil spirit from God fell upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David was playing on the harp with his hand, according to his daily custom. And Saul’s spear was in his hand. ]
11 At inihagis ni Saul ang sibat; sapagka't kaniyang sinabi, Aking tutuhugin si David sa dinding. At tumanan si David sa kaniyang harap na makalawa.
[And Saul took his spear and said, I will strike David even to the wall. But David escaped twice from his presence. ]
12 At natakot si Saul kay David, sapagka't ang Panginoon ay sumasakaniya, at nahiwalay na kay Saul.
And Saul was alarmed on account of David.
13 Kaya't inihiwalay ni Saul siya sa kaniya, at siya'y ginawa niyang punong kawal sa isang libo; at siya'y naglalabas pumasok sa harap ng bayan.
And he removed him from him, and made him a captain of a thousand for himself; and he went out and came in before the people.
14 Nagpakabait si David sa lahat ng kaniyang kilos; at ang Panginoon ay sumasakaniya.
And David was prudent in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.
15 At nang makita ni Saul na siya'y nagpakabait, siya'y natakot sa kaniya.
And Saul saw that he was very wise, and he was afraid of him.
16 Nguni't minamahal ng buong Israel at Juda si David; sapagka't siya'y naglalabas pumasok sa harap nila.
And all Israel and Juda loved David, because he came in and went out before the people.
17 At sinabi ni Saul kay David, Narito ang aking lalong matandang anak na babae na si Merab; siya'y aking ibibigay sa iyo na asawa: magpakatapang ka lamang dahil sa akin, at iyong ilaban ang mga pagbabaka ng Panginoon. Sapagka't sinabi ni Saul, Huwag pagbuhatan siya ng aking kamay, kundi ang kamay ng mga Filisteo, ang magbuhat sa kaniya.
[And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merob, I will give her to you to Wife, only be you to me a mighty man and fight the wars of the Lord. And Saul said, Let not my hand be upon him, but the hand of the Philistines shall be upon him. ]
18 At sinabi ni David kay Saul, Sino ako at ano ang aking buhay, o ang sangbahayan ng aking ama sa Israel, upang maging manugang ako ng hari?
[And David said to Saul, Who am I, and What is the life of my father’s family in Israel, that I should be the king’s son—in-law? ]
19 Nguni't nangyari na sa panahong ibibigay kay David si Merab na anak na babae ni Saul, ay ibinigay na asawa kay Adriel na Meholatita.
[But it came to pass at the time when Merob Saul’s daughter should have been given to David, that she was given to Israel the Mothulathite to wife. ]
20 At sinisinta ni Michal na anak na babae ni Saul si David: at kanilang isinaysay kay Saul, at ang bagay ay ikinalugod niya.
And Melchol the daughter of Saul loved David; and it was told Saul, and the thing was pleasing in his eyes.
21 At sinabi ni Saul, Aking ibibigay sa kaniya siya, upang siya'y maging silo sa kaniya, at upang ang kamay ng mga Filisteo ay maging laban sa kaniya. Kaya't sinabing ikalawa ni Saul kay David: Ikaw ay magiging aking manugang sa araw na ito.
And Saul said, I will give her to him, and she shall be a stumbling block to him. Now the hand of the Philistines was against Saul.
22 At iniutos ni Saul sa kaniyang mga lingkod, na sinasabi, Makipagusap kayo kay David ng lihim, at inyong sabihin, Narito, kinatutuwaan ka ng hari at minamahal ka ng lahat ng kaniyang mga lingkod: ngayon nga ay maging manugang ka ng hari.
And Saul charged his servants, saying, Speak you privately to David, saying, Behold, the king delights in you, and all his servants love you, and do you becomes the king's son-in-law.
23 At sinalita ng mga lingkod ni Saul ang mga salitang yaon sa pakinig ni David. At sinabi ni David, Inaakala ba ninyo na magaang bagay ang maging manugang ng hari, dangang ako'y isang dukhang tao at niwawalang kabuluhan?
And the servants of Saul spoke these words in the ears of David; and David said, [Is it] a light thing in your eyes to become son-in-law to the king? Whereas I [am] an humble man, an not honorable?
24 At isinaysay ng mga lingkod ni Saul sa kaniya, na sinabi, Ganitong paraan nagsalita si David.
And the servants of Saul reported to him according to these words, which David spoke.
25 At sinabi ni Saul, Ganito ang inyong sasabihin kay David: Hindi nagnanasa ang hari ng anomang bigaykaya, kundi isang daang balat ng masama ng mga Filisteo, upang mapanghigantihan ang mga kaaway ng hari. Ang balak nga ni Saul ay maibuwal si David sa pamamagitan ng kamay ng mga Filisteo.
And Saul said, Thus shall you speak to David, The king wants no gift but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to avenge himself on the kings enemies. Now Saul thought to cast him into the hands of the Philistines.
26 At nang saysayin ng kaniyang mga lingkod kay David ang mga salitang ito, ay ikinalugod na mabuti ni David na maging manugang siya ng hari. At ang mga araw ay hindi pa nagaganap;
And the servants of Saul report these words to David, and David was well pleased to become the son-in-law to the king.
27 At tumindig si David at yumaon, siya at ang kaniyang mga lalake, at pumatay sa mga Filisteo ng dalawang daang lalake; at dinala ni David ang kanilang mga balat ng masama, at kaniyang ibinigay ng buong bilang sa hari, upang siya'y maging manugang ng hari. At ibinigay na asawa sa kaniya ni Saul si Michal na kaniyang anak na babae.
And David arose, and went, he and his men, and struck among the Philistines a hundred men: and he brought their foreskins, and he becomes the king's son-in-law, and [Saul] gives him Melchol his daughter to wife.
28 At nakita at nalaman ni Saul na ang Panginoon ay sumasa kay David; at sinisinta si David ni Michal na anak ni Saul.
And Saul saw that the Lord [was] with David, and [that] all Israel loved him.
29 At si Saul ay lalong natatakot kay David; at naging kaaway ni David si Saul na palagi.
And he was yet more afraid of David.
30 Nang magkagayo'y lumabas ang mga pangulo ng mga Filisteo: at nangyari, na sa tuwing sila'y lumalabas ay nagpakabait si David kay sa lahat ng mga lingkod ni Saul; sa gayon ang kaniyang pangalan ay lalong namahal.
[And the chief of the Philistines went forth; and it came to pass that from the suficiency of their expedition David acted Wisely above all the servants of Saul; and his name was honored exceedingly. ]
