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 made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit on the soul of David; and Jonathan 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 on that day, and would not permit him to go home 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.
Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because of his loving 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 the robe that he had upon him, and gave it to David, and likewise his garments, 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; whithersoever Saul used to send him, he was successful; and Saul set him over the men of war; and he was accepted 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 it came to pass as they came home, when David returned from smiting the Philistines, that the women came forth out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with triangles.
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 that played answered one another, and said, Saul hath slain 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 Saul was very wroth, and this saying was displeasing in his eyes; and he said, They have given unto David ten thousands, and to me they have given the thousands: and all that he lacketh now yet is only the kingdom.
9 At inirapan ni Saul si David mula sa araw na yaon.
And Saul looked jealous on David from that day and forward.
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 came suddenly over Saul, and he spoke foolish things in the midst of the house: while David was playing with his hand, as on previous days; and the spear was in the hand of Saul.
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 cast the spear; and he thought, I will strike David through even on the wall. And David turned aside out of his presence twice.
12 At natakot si Saul kay David, sapagka't ang Panginoon ay sumasakaniya, at nahiwalay na kay Saul.
And Saul was afraid of David; because the Lord was with him, and from Saul he was departed.
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.
Therefore Saul removed him from himself, and made him his captain over a thousand: 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 successful on 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 when Saul saw that he was very successful, he was in dread of him.
16 Nguni't minamahal ng buong Israel at Juda si David; sapagka't siya'y naglalabas pumasok sa harap nila.
But all Israel and Judah loved David; because he went out and came in before them.
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, here is my eldest daughter Merab, her will I give to thee for wife: only be thou unto me a man of valor, and fight the Lord's battles. And Saul thought, Let not my hand be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against 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 unto Saul, Who am I? and what is my life, [or] my father's family in Israel, that I should be a son-in-law to the king?
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 happened at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter should have been given to David, that she was given unto 'Adriel the Mecholathite for 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 Michal Saul's daughter loved David: and they told it to Saul, and the thing was right 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, that she may become unto him a snare, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Through the second shalt thou this day become my son-in-law.
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 commanded his servants, Speak to David secretly, saying, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee; and now thou must become 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 in the ears of David these words. And David said, Doth it seem so light in your eyes to become the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, and of light esteem?
24 At isinaysay ng mga lingkod ni Saul sa kaniya, na sinabi, Ganitong paraan nagsalita si David.
And the servants of Saul told him, saying, Words such as these David hath spoken.
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 ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged on the king's enemies. But Saul thought to cause David to fall by the hand 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 when his servants told David these words, the thing was pleasing in the eyes of David to become the king's son-in-law: and the days were not complete,
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.
When David arose and went, he and his men, and smote of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they counted them out in full to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter for 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 and understood that the Lord was with David: and Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him.
29 At si Saul ay lalong natatakot kay David; at naging kaaway ni David si Saul na palagi.
And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was David's enemy all the time.
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 princes of the Philistines went forth; and it came to pass, whenever they went forth, that David was more successful than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly prized.
