1 Samuel 20
1 At si David ay tumakas mula sa Najoth, na nasa Rama, at siya'y dumating at nagsabi sa harap ni Jonathan, Anong aking ginawa? anong aking kasamaan? at anong aking kasalanan sa harap ng iyong ama, upang kaniyang usigin ang aking buhay?
And David went in flight from Naioth in Ramah and came to Jonathan and said, What have I done? What is my crime and my sin against your father that he is attempting to take my life?
2 At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Malayo nawa; hindi ka mamamatay: narito, ang aking ama ay hindi gumagawa ng anomang bagay na malaki o maliit kundi niya ipaalam sa akin: at bakit ililihim sa akin ng aking ama ang bagay na ito? hindi gayon.
And he said to him, Far be the thought: you will not be put to death: see, my father does nothing, great or small, without giving me word of it: would he keep this secret from me? It is not so.
3 At gayon ma'y si David ay sumumpa, at nagsabi, Talastas na maigi ng iyong ama, na ako'y nakasumpong ng biyaya sa iyong paningin; at kaniyang sinasabi, Huwag maalaman ni Jonathan ito, baka siya'y magdalamhati; nguni't buhay nga ang Panginoon, at buhay ang iyong kaluluwa, na iisang hakbang ang pagitan ko sa kamatayan.
But David took his oath again and said, Your father sees that I am dear to you; so he says to himself, Let Jonathan have no idea of this, for it will be a grief to him; but as the Lord is living, and as your soul is living, there is only a step between me and death.
4 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Jonathan kay David, Anomang adhikain ng iyong kaluluwa ay aking gagawin dahil sa iyo.
Then Jonathan said to David, Whatever your desire is, I will do it for you.
5 At sinabi ni David kay Jonathan, Narito, bukas ay bagong buwan, at ako'y di marapat na di sumalo sa hari; nguni't bayaan mo akong yumaon upang ako'y magkubli sa parang hanggang sa ikatlong araw sa paglubog ng araw.
And David said to Jonathan, Tomorrow is the new moon, and I will not be seated with the king at his table: but let me go to a safe place in the country till the evening.
6 Kung ako'y punahin ng iyong ama, iyo ngang sabihing, Hiniling na mainam sa akin ni David na siya'y patakbuhin sa Bethlehem na kaniyang bayan: sapagka't siyang paghahain na taonan sa lahat ng angkan.
And if your father takes note of the fact that I am away, say, David made a request to me for himself that he might go to Beth-lehem, to his town: for it is the time when his family make their offering year by year.
7 Kung kaniyang sabihing ganito, Mabuti; ang iyong lingkod ay matitiwasay; nguni't kung siya'y magalit, talastasin mo nga na ang kasamaan ay ipinasiya niya.
If he says, It is well, your servant will be at peace: but if he is angry, then it will be clear to you that he has an evil purpose in mind against me.
8 Kaya pagmagandahang loob mo ang iyong lingkod; sapagka't iyong dinala ang iyong lingkod sa isang tipan ng Panginoon sa iyo; nguni't kung magtaglay ako ng kasamaan, patayin mo ako; sapagka't bakit mo pa dadalhin ako sa iyong ama?
So, then, be kind to your servant; for you have been united with your servant in an agreement made before the Lord: but if there is any wrongdoing in me, put me to death yourself; why take me to your father?
9 At sinabi ni Jonathan, Malayo nawa sa iyo: sapagka't kung matalastas ko sa anomang paraan na ang kasamaan ay ipinasiya ng ama kong sumapit sa iyo, hindi ko ba sasaysayin sa iyo?
And Jonathan said, Do not have such a thought: for if I saw that my father was designing evil against you, would I not give you word of it?
10 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni David kay Jonathan, Sino ang magsasaysay sa akin, kung sakaling ang iyong ama ay sumagot sa iyo na may kagalitan?
Then David said to Jonathan, Who will give me word if your father gives you a rough answer?
11 At sinabi ni Jonathan kay David, Halika at tayo'y lumabas sa parang. At sila'y kapuwa lumabas sa parang.
And Jonathan said to David, Come, let us go out into the country. And the two of them went out together into the open country.
12 At sinabi ni Jonathan kay David, Ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng Israel, maging saksi; pagka aking natarok ang aking ama sa oras na ito sa kinabukasan o sa ikatlong araw, narito, kung maging mabuti kay David, hindi ko nga ba pasasapitin sa iyo, at ipababatid sa iyo?
And Jonathan said to David, May the Lord, the God of Israel, be witness; when I have had a chance of talking to my father, about this time tomorrow, if his feelings to David are good, will I not send and give you the news?
13 Kung mabutihin ng aking ama na gawan ka ng kasamaan, ay hatulan ng Panginoon si Jonathan, malibang ipabatid ko sa iyo at payaunin ka, upang ikaw ay yumaong payapa: at ang Panginoon ay sumaiyo nawa na gaya ng siya'y nasa aking ama.
May the Lord's punishment be on Jonathan, if it is my father's pleasure to do you evil and I do not give you word of it and send you away so that you may go in peace: and may the Lord be with you, as he has been with my father.
14 At huwag mangyari kailanman hanggang ako'y nabubuhay, na di mo ako pagpakitaan ng kagandahang loob ng Panginoon upang ako'y huwag mamatay:
And may you, while I am still living, O may you be kind to me, as the Lord is kind, and keep me from death!
15 Subali't huwag mo ring ihihiwalay ang iyong kagandahang loob sa aking sangbahayan magpakailan man: huwag kahit man lipulin ng Panginoon ang lahat ng mga kaaway ni David sa balat ng lupa.
And let not your mercy ever be cut off from my family, even when the Lord has sent destruction on all David's haters, cutting them off from the face of the earth.
16 Sa gayo'y nakipagtipan si Jonathan sa sangbahayan ni David, na sinabi, At hihingin ng Panginoon sa kamay ng mga kaaway ni David.
And if it comes about that the name of Jonathan is cut off from the family of David, the Lord will make David responsible.
17 At pinasumpa uli ni Jonathan si David dahil sa pagibig niya sa kaniya: sapagka't kaniyang minamahal siya na gaya ng pagmamahal niya sa kaniyang sariling kaluluwa.
And Jonathan again took an oath to David, because of his love for him: for David was as dear to him as his very soul.
18 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Jonathan sa kaniya, Bukas ay bagong buwan, at ikaw ay pupunahin, sapagka't sa iyong upuan ay walang nakaupo.
Then Jonathan said to him, Tomorrow is the new moon: and it will be seen that you are not present, for there will be no one in your seat.
19 At pagtatagal mo ng tatlong araw ay bababa kang madali at paroroon ka sa dakong iyong pinagtaguan ng araw na pag-usapan ito, at ikaw ay maghihintay sa tabi ng bato ng Ezel.
And on the third day it will be specially noted, and you will go to the place where you took cover when the other business was in hand, waiting by the hill over there.
20 At ako'y papana ng tatlong palaso sa dako niyaon na parang ako'y may pinatatamaan.
And on the third day I will send arrows from my bow against its side as if at a mark.
21 At, narito, aking susuguin ang bata: Ikaw ay yumaon na hanapin mo ang mga palaso. Kung aking sabihin sa bata: Narito, ang mga palaso ay nangarito sa dako mo rito: pagkunin mo, at parito ka; sapagka't may kapayapaan sa iyo at walang anoman, buhay ang Panginoon.
And I will send my boy to have a look for the arrow. And if I say to him, See, the arrow is on this side of you; take it up! then you may come; for there is peace for you and no evil, by the living Lord.
22 Nguni't kung aking sabihing ganito sa bata: Narito, ang mga palaso ay nangasa dako mo pa roon: ituloy mo ang iyong lakad, sapagka't pinayaon ka ng Panginoon.
But if I say to the boy, See, the arrow has gone past you: then go on your way, for the Lord has sent you away.
23 At tungkol sa usap na ating pinagsalitaan, narito, ang Panginoon ay nasa gitna natin magpakailan man.
As for what you and I were talking of, the Lord is between you and me for ever.
24 Sa gayo'y nagkubli si David sa parang: at nang dumating ang bagong buwan, ang hari ay umupong kumain.
So David went to a secret place in the country: and when the new moon came, the king took his place at the feast.
25 At umupo ang hari sa kaniyang upuan na gaya ng kinaugalian niya sa makatuwid baga'y sa upuang nasa siping ng dinding; at tumayo si Jonathan, at umupo si Abner sa siping ni Saul; nguni't sa upuan ni David ay walang nakaupo.
And the king took his seat, as at other times, by the wall: and Jonathan was in front, and Abner was seated by Saul's side, but there was no one in David's seat.
26 Gayon ma'y hindi nagsalita si Saul ng anoman sa araw na yaon: sapagka't kaniyang inisip: May bagay na nangyari sa kaniya, siya'y hindi malinis; tunay na siya'y hindi malinis.
But Saul said nothing that day, for his thought was, Something has taken place making him unclean; it is clear that he is not clean.
27 At nangyari nang kinabukasan, pagkaraan ng bagong buwan na ikalawang araw, na sa upuan ni David ay walang nakaupo, sinabi ni Saul kay Jonathan na kaniyang anak, Bakit hindi naparirito ang anak ni Isai upang kumain, ni kahapon, ni ngayon man.
And on the day after the new moon, that is, the second day, there was still no one in David's seat: and Saul said to his son Jonathan, Why has the son of Jesse not come to the feast yesterday or today?
28 At sumagot si Jonathan kay Saul, Namanhik si David na bayaan ko siya na pumaroon sa Bethlehem:
And answering Saul, Jonathan said, He made a request to me that he might go to Beth-lehem,
29 At kaniyang sinabi, Isinasamo ko sa iyo na payaunin mo ako; sapagka't ang aming angkan ay may paghahain sa bayan; at iniutos sa akin ng aking kapatid na dumoon; at ngayon, kung ako'y nakasumpong ng biyaya sa iyong paningin, ay bayaan mo akong yumaon, isinasamo ko sa iyo, at aking tingnan ang aking mga kapatid. Kaya hindi siya naparito sa dulang ng hari.
Saying, Our family is making an offering in the town, and my brothers have given me orders to be there: so now, if I have grace in your eyes, let me go away and see my brothers. This is why he has not come to the king's table.
30 Nang magkagayo'y nagalab ang galit ni Saul laban kay Jonathan, at sinabi niya sa kaniya, Ikaw ay anak ng masama at mapanghimagsik na babae, hindi ko ba nalalaman na iyong pinili ang anak ni Isai sa ikahihiya mo, at sa ikahihiya ng kahubaran ng iyong ina?
Then Saul was moved to wrath against Jonathan, and he said to him, You son of an evil and uncontrolled woman, have I not seen how you have given your love to the son of Jesse, to your shame and the shame of your mother?
31 Sapagka't habang nabubuhay ang anak ni Isai sa ibabaw ng lupa, ikaw ay hindi mapapanatag ni ang iyong kaharian man. Kaya ngayo'y iyong ipasundo at dalhin siya sa akin, sapagka't siya'y walang pagsalang mamamatay.
For while the son of Jesse is living on the earth, your position is unsafe and your kingdom is in danger. So make him come here to me, for it is certainly right for him to be put to death.
32 At sumagot si Jonathan kay Saul na kaniyang ama; at nagsabi sa kaniya, Bakit siya papatayin? anong kaniyang ginawa?
And Jonathan, answering his father Saul, said to him, Why is he to be put to death? What has he done?
33 At inihandulong ni Saul ang kaniyang sibat sa kaniya upang saktan siya; na doon nakilala ni Jonathan na pasiya ng kaniyang ama na patayin si David.
And Saul, pointing his spear at him, made an attempt to give him a wound: from which it was clear to Jonathan that his father's purpose was to put David to death.
34 Sa gayo'y tumindig si Jonathan sa dulang na may mabangis na galit, at hindi kumain sa ikalawang araw ng buwan: sapagka't siya'y nagdalamhati dahil kay David, sapagka't hiniya siya ng kaniyang ama.
So Jonathan got up from the table, burning with wrath, and took no part in the feast the second day of the month, being full of grief for David because his father had put shame on him.
35 At nangyari sa kinaumagahan, na si David ay nilabas ni Jonathan sa parang sa takdang panahon, at isang munting bata ang kasama niya.
Now in the morning, Jonathan went out into the fields at the time he had said to David, and he had a little boy with him.
36 At sinabi niya sa kaniyang bataan, Takbo, hanapin mo ngayon ang mga palaso na aking ipinana. At pagtakbo ng bataan, kaniyang ipinana ang palaso sa dako roon niya.
And he said to the boy, Go and get the arrow I let loose from my bow. And while the boy was running, he sent an arrow past him.
37 At nang dumating ang bataan sa dako ng palaso na ipinana ni Jonathan, sinigawan ni Jonathan ang bataan, at sinabi, Hindi ba ang palaso ay nasa dako mo pa roon?
And when the boy came to the place where the arrow was, Jonathan, crying out after the boy, said, Has it not gone past you?
38 At sinigawan ni Jonathan ang bataan, Tulin, magmadali ka, huwag kang tumigil. At pinulot ng bataan ni Jonathan ang mga palaso, at naparoon sa kaniyang panginoon.
And Jonathan went on crying out after the boy, Be quick, do not keep waiting about, go quickly. And Jonathan's boy got the arrow and came back to his master.
39 Nguni't hindi naalaman ng bataan ang anoman: si Jonathan at si David lamang ang nakaalam ng bagay.
But the boy had no idea what was going on; only Jonathan and David had knowledge of it.
40 At ibinigay ni Jonathan ang kaniyang sandata sa kaniyang bataan, at sinabi sa kaniya, Yumaon ka, dalhin mo sa bayan.
And Jonathan gave his bow and arrows to the boy, and said to him, Take these and go back to the town.
41 At pagkayaon ng bataan, si David ay tumindig sa dakong tungo sa Timugan, at sumubsob sa lupa, at yumukod na makaitlo: at sila'y naghalikan, at umiyak kapuwa, hanggang si David ay humigit.
And when the boy had gone, David came from his secret place by the hill, and falling to the earth went down on his face three times: and they gave one another a kiss, weeping together, till David's grief was the greater.
42 At sinabi ni Jonathan kay David, Yumaon kang payapa, yamang tayo'y kapuwa sumumpa sa pangalan ng Panginoon na nagsasabi, Ang Panginoon ay lalagay sa gitna natin, at sa gitna ng aking binhi at ng iyong binhi, magpakailan man. At siya'y bumangon at yumaon: at pumasok si Jonathan sa bayan.
And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, for we two have taken an oath, in the name of the Lord, saying, The Lord will be between me and you, and between my seed and your seed for ever. Then David went away, and Jonathan went into the town.
