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 with, the soul of David, so that 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, that day, —and suffered him not to return unto the house of his father.
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 solemnised 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 the robe which was upon him, and gave it to David, —and his equipments, 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 forth—whithersoever Saul sent him, he behaved himself prudently, so Saul set him over the men of war, —and he became a favourite in the eyes of all the people, yea even 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.
But so it was, when they came in on the return of David from the smiting of the Philistine, that the women went forth out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet Saul the king, —with timbrels, with rejoicing, and with instruments of three strings.
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 made merry responded to each other in song, and said, —Saul, hath smitten, his thousands, but, David, his, tens of 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?
Then was Saul exceeding angry, and this saying was offensive in his eyes, and he said, —They have ascribed, to David, ten thousands, but, to me, have they ascribed thousands, —What, more, then, can he have but, the kingdom?
9 At inirapan ni Saul si David mula sa araw na yaon.
And Saul was eyeing David from that day 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, when it came to pass, on the morrow, that a superhuman spirit of sadness came suddenly upon Saul, and he was moved to raving in the midst of the house, —and, David, began playing with his hand, as he had done day by day, that a spear being in Saul’s 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.
Saul hurled the spear, and said to himself—I will smite David, even to the wall! But David moved round from before him, twice.
12 At natakot si Saul kay David, sapagka't ang Panginoon ay sumasakaniya, at nahiwalay na kay Saul.
And Saul feared because of David, —for Yahweh was with him, whereas, from Saul, he had 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.
So Saul removed him from him, and appointed him to be for him the captain of 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 it came to pass that David, in all his ways, acted prudently, —and, Yahweh, 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 acting very prudently, 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.
But, all Israel and Judah, were in love with David, —for he was going out and coming 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.
So then Saul said unto David—Lo! my elder daughter Merab, her, will I give thee to wife, only, approve thyself unto me as a son of valour and fight the battles of Yahweh. Saul, however, had said to himself—Let not, my own hand, be upon him, but let, the hand of the Philistines, 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 unto Saul—Who am, I, or who are my kinsfolk, the family of my father, in Israel, —that I should become 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 came to pass, within the time for giving Merab daughter of Saul to David, that, she, was given to Adriel the Meholathite, 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.
Then did Michal, Saul’s daughter, love David, —and it was told 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 to himself—I will give her unto him, that she may prove to him a snare, and that, the hand of the Philistines, may be upon him. So then Saul said unto David, A second time, mayest thou become my son-in-law to-day.
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 ye unto David quietly saying, Lo! the king delighteth in thee, and, all his servants, love thee, —now, therefore, become thou son-in-law to the king.
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 spake, in the ears of David, these words. And David said—Seemeth it a light thing, in your eyes, to become son-in-law to the king, seeing that, I, am a poor man and lightly esteemed?
24 At isinaysay ng mga lingkod ni Saul sa kaniya, na sinabi, Ganitong paraan nagsalita si David.
So the servants of Saul told him, saying, —According to these words, spake David,
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.
Then said Saul—Thus, shall ye say unto David—The king hath no delight in purchase-price, but rather in a hundred foreskins of Philistines, by avenging himself on the enemies of the king. But, Saul, thought to let David 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;
So, when his servants told David these words, the thing was right in the eyes of David, to become son-in-law unto the king, —and the days had not expired.
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.
Wherefore David arose, and went—he and his men, and smote among the Philistines two hundred men, and David brought in their foreskins, and gave them in full tale unto the king, that he might become son-in-law unto the king, and Saul gave him Michal 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 and knew that, Yahweh, 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.
So then Saul went on to fear because of David, yet more, —and it came to pass that Saul was hostile to David, all the days.
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, when the princes of the Philistines came forth, so it was, that, as often as they came forth, David was more circumspect than any of the servants of Saul, so that his name was, precious exceedingly.
