1 Samuel 19
1 At nagsalita si Saul kay Jonathan na kaniyang anak, at sa lahat ng kaniyang mga lingkod, na kanilang patayin si David. Nguni't si Jonathan na anak ni Saul ay naliligayang mainam kay David.
Saul said to Jonathan his son and to all his servants that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul's son, took great pleasure in David.
2 At isinaysay ni Jonathan kay David, na sinasabi, Pinagsisikapan ni Saul na aking ama na patayin ka: ngayon nga'y isinasamo ko sa iyo, na magingat ka sa kinaumagahan, at manatili sa isang lihim na dako, at magtago ka:
So Jonathan told David, “Saul my father seeks to kill you. Therefore be on your guard in the morning and hide yourself in a secret place.
3 At ako'y lalabas at tatayo sa siping ng aking ama sa parang na iyong kinaroroonan, at ako'y makikipagusap sa aking ama ng tungkol sa iyo; at kung may makita akong anoman, ay aking sasaysayin sa iyo.
I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will speak with my father about you. If I learn anything, I will tell you.”
4 At nagsalita si Jonathan kay Saul na kaniyang ama, ng mabuti tungkol kay David, at sinabi sa kaniya, Huwag magkasala ang hari laban sa kaniyang lingkod na si David; sapagka't hindi siya nagkasala laban sa iyo; at sapagka't ang kaniyang mga gawa ay naging mabuti sa iyo:
Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, “Do not let the king sin against his servant David. For he has not sinned against you, and his deeds have brought you good.
5 Sapagka't kaniyang ipinain ang kaniyang buhay, at sinaktan ang Filisteo, at gumawa ang Panginoon ng dakilang pagtatagumpay sa ganang buong Israel: nakita mo at nagalak ka; bakit nga magkakasala ka laban sa walang salang dugo, na papatayin si David ng walang anomang kadahilanan?
For he took his life in his hand and killed the Philistine. Yahweh brought about a great victory for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. Why would you sin against innocent blood by killing David for no reason?”
6 At dininig ni Saul ang tinig ni Jonathan; at sumumpa si Saul: Buhay ang Panginoon, siya'y hindi papatayin.
Saul listened to Jonathan. Saul swore, “As Yahweh lives, he will not be put to death.”
7 At tinawag ni Jonathan si David, at isinaysay ni Jonathan sa kaniya ang lahat ng mga bagay na yaon. At dinala ni Jonathan si David kay Saul, at siya'y lumagay sa kaniyang harap, na gaya ng dati.
Then Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all these things. Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before.
8 At nagkaroong muli ng digma: at lumabas si David, at nakipaglaban sa mga Filisteo, at pumatay sa kanila ng malaking pagpatay; at sila'y tumakas sa harap niya.
There was war again, and David went out and fought with the Philistines and defeated them with a great slaughter. They fled before him.
9 At isang espiritung masama na mula sa Panginoon ay suma kay Saul, nang siya'y nakaupo sa kaniyang bahay na tangan niya ang kaniyang sibat sa kaniyang kamay; at tumugtog si David sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang kamay.
A harmful spirit from Yahweh came on Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand, and as David was playing his instrument.
10 At pinagsikapan ni Saul na tuhugin ng sibat si David sa dinding; nguni't siya'y nakatakas sa harap ni Saul at ang kaniyang tinuhog ng sibat ay ang dinding: at tumakas si David at tumanan ng gabing yaon.
Saul tried to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away from Saul's presence, so that Saul drove the spear into the wall. David fled and escaped that night.
11 At nagsugo si Saul ng mga sugo sa bahay ni David, upang siya'y bantayan, at siya'y patayin sa kinaumagahan: at sinaysay sa kaniya ni Michal na asawa ni David, na sinasabi, Kundi mo iligtas ang iyong buhay ngayong gabi bukas ay papatayin ka.
Saul sent messengers to David's house to watch him that he might kill him in the morning. Michal, David's wife, told him, “If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”
12 Kaya inihugos ni Michal si David sa isang dungawan, at siya'y yumaon, at tumakas, at tumanan.
So Michal let David down through the window. He went and fled, and escaped.
13 At kinuha ni Michal ang mga terap, at inihiga sa higaan at nilagyan sa ulunan ng isang unan na buhok ng kambing, at tinakpan ng mga kumot.
Michal took a household idol and laid it in the bed. Then she put a pillow of goats' hair at its head, and covered it with the clothes.
14 At nang magsugo si Saul ng mga sugo upang dakpin si David, kaniyang sinabi, Siya'y may sakit.
When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.”
15 At nagsugo si Saul ng mga sugo upang tingnan si David, na sinasabi, Ipanhik ninyo siya sa akin na nasa kaniyang higaan, upang aking patayin siya.
Then Saul sent the messengers to see David; he said, “Bring him up to me in the bed, so that I may kill him.”
16 At nang pumasok ang mga sugo, narito, ang mga terap at nasa higaan, pati ng unang buhok ng kambing sa ulunan niyaon.
When the messengers came in, behold, the household idol was in the bed along with the pillow of goats' hair at its head.
17 At sinabi ni Saul kay Michal, Bakit mo ako dinaya ng ganiyan, at iyong pinaalis ang aking kaaway, na anopa't siya'y nakatanan? At sumagot si Michal kay Saul, Kaniyang sinabi sa akin: Bayaan mo akong yumaon: bakit kita papatayin?
Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?” Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, 'Let me go. Why should I kill you?'”
18 Si David nga ay tumakas, at tumanan, at naparoon kay Samuel sa Rama, at isinaysay sa kaniya ang lahat ng ginawa ni Saul sa kaniya. At siya at si Samuel ay yumaon at tumahan sa Najoth.
Now David fled and escaped, and went to Samuel in Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went and stayed in Naioth.
19 At nasaysay kay Saul na sinasabi, Narito si David ay nasa Najoth sa Rama.
It was told to Saul, saying, “See, David is at Naioth in Ramah.”
20 At nagsugo si Saul ng mga sugo upang dakpin si David: at nang kanilang makita ang pulutong ng mga propeta na nanganghuhula, at si Samuel ay tumatayong pinakapangulo sa kanila, ang Espiritu ng Dios ay dumating sa mga sugo ni Saul, at sila naman ay nanganghula.
Then Saul sent messengers to capture David. When they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came on the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
21 At nang maisaysay kay Saul, siya'y nagsugo ng ibang mga sugo, at sila man ay nanganghula. At si Saul ay nagsugo uli ng mga sugo na ikaitlo, at sila man ay nanganghula.
When Saul was told this, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. So Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
22 Nang magkagayo'y naparoon din naman siya sa Rama, at dumating sa dakilang balon na nasa Socho: at siya'y tumanong, at nagsabi, Saan naroon si Samuel at si David? At sinabi ng isa, Narito, sila'y nasa Najoth sa Rama.
Then he also went to Ramah and came to the deep well that is in Seku. He asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” Someone said, “See, they are at Naioth in Ramah.”
23 At siya'y naparoon doon sa Najoth sa Rama: at ang Espiritu ng Dios ay dumating din sa kaniya, at siya'y nagpatuloy, at nanghula hanggang sa siya'y dumating sa Najoth sa Rama.
Saul went to Naioth in Ramah. Then the Spirit of God came upon him, and as he went he prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
24 At siya rin nama'y naghubad ng kaniyang mga suot, at siya man ay nanghula sa harap ni Samuel, at nahigang hubad sa buong araw na yaon at sa buong gabing yaon. Kaya't kanilang sinasabi, Pati ba si Saul ay nasa gitna ng mga propeta?
He stripped off his clothes and also prophesied before Samuel. He lay naked all that day and all that night. This is why they ask, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
