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 fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is my iniquity? and what is my sin before your father, that he seeks 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, God forbid; you shall not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will show it me: and why should my father hide this thing 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.
And David swore moreover, and said, Your father certainly knows that I have found grace in your eyes; and he says, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, there is but 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 said Jonathan to David, Whatever your soul desires, I will even 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, Behold, to morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field to the third day at even.
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.
If your father at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city: for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
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 say thus, It is well; your servant shall have peace: but if he be very wroth, then be sure that evil is determined by him.
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?
Therefore you shall deal kindly with your servant; for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the LORD with you: notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me yourself; for why should you bring 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, Far be it from you: for if I knew certainly that evil were determined by my father to come on you, then would not I tell it you?
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 said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if your father answer you roughly?
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, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.
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, O LORD God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to morrow any time, or the third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then send not to you, and show it you;
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.
The LORD do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it please my father to do you evil, then I will show it you, and send you away, that you may go in peace: and 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 you shall not only while yet I live show me the kindness of the LORD, that I die not:
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.
But also you shall not cut off your kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the LORD has cut off the enemies of David every one 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.
So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the LORD even require it at the hand of David’s enemies.
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 caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own 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 David, To morrow is the new moon: and you shall be missed, because your seat will be empty.
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 when you have stayed three days, then you shall go down quickly, and come to the place where you did hide yourself when the business was in hand, and shall remain by the stone Ezel.
20 At ako'y papana ng tatlong palaso sa dako niyaon na parang ako'y may pinatatamaan.
And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot 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, behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly say to the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of you, take them; then come you: for there is peace to you, and no hurt; as the LORD lives.
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 thus to the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond you; go 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.
And as touching the matter which you and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD be 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 hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat.
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 sat on his seat, as at other times, even on a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul’s side, and David’s place was empty.
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.
Nevertheless Saul spoke not any thing that day: for he thought, Something has befallen him, he is not clean; surely 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 it came to pass on the morrow, which was the second day of the month, that David’s place was empty: and Saul said to Jonathan his son, Why comes not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to day?
28 At sumagot si Jonathan kay Saul, Namanhik si David na bayaan ko siya na pumaroon sa Bethlehem:
And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem:
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.
And he said, Let me go, I pray you; for our family has a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he has commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favor in your eyes, let me get away, I pray you, and see my brothers. Therefore he comes not 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’s anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, You son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own confusion, and to the confusion of your mother’s nakedness?
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 as long as the son of Jesse lives on the ground, you shall not be established, nor your kingdom. Why now send and fetch him to me, for he shall surely die.
32 At sumagot si Jonathan kay Saul na kaniyang ama; at nagsabi sa kaniya, Bakit siya papatayin? anong kaniyang ginawa?
And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, Why shall he be slain? 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 cast a javelin at him to smite him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David.
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 arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no meat the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.
35 At nangyari sa kinaumagahan, na si David ay nilabas ni Jonathan sa parang sa takdang panahon, at isang munting bata ang kasama niya.
And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad 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 his lad, Run, find out now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond 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 lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond 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 cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan’s lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
39 Nguni't hindi naalaman ng bataan ang anoman: si Jonathan at si David lamang ang nakaalam ng bagay.
But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
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 artillery to his lad, and said to him, Go, carry them to the city.
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 as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.
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 as much as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The LORD be between me and you, and between my seed and your seed for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.
