1 Samuel 22
1 Umalis nga si David doon, at tumakas sa yungib ng Adullam: at nang mabalitaan ng kaniyang mga kapatid at ng sangbahayan ng kaniyang ama, kanilang nilusong siya roon.
David [and his men] left Gath and went [east] to hide in a cave on a hill at Adullam [city]. Soon his [older] brothers and all his other relatives came and stayed with him there.
2 At bawa't isa na napipighati, at bawa't isa na may utang, at bawa't isa na may kalumbayan ay nakipisan sa kaniya; at siya'y naging punong kawal nila: at nagkaroon siya ng may apat na raang tao.
Then other men came there. Some were men who had caused trouble, some were men who owed money, and some were men who were not content [IDM] [with the government]. They continued to come until there were 400 men there, and David was their leader.
3 At naparoon si David mula roon sa Mizpa ng Moab, at kaniyang sinabi sa hari sa Moab: Isinasamo ko sa iyo na ang aking ama at aking ina ay makalabas, at mapasama sa inyo, hanggang sa aking maalaman kung ano ang gagawin ng Dios sa akin.
Later they left there and went [east] to Mizpah [city] in the Moab region. There David requested the king of Moab, “Please allow my father and mother to live here with you until I know what God is going to do for me.”
4 At kaniyang dinala sila sa harap ng hari sa Moab: at sila'y tumahan na kasama niya buong panahon na si David ay nasa moog.
[The king gave him permission, ] so David’s parents stayed with the king of Moab all the time that David and the men who were with him were hiding [in that area].
5 At sinabi ng propetang si Gad kay David, Huwag kang tumahan sa moog; ikaw ay yumaon at pumasok sa lupain ng Juda. Nang magkagayo'y yumaon si David, at pumasok sa gubat ng Hareth.
One day the prophet Gad told David, “Leave (your fortress/this area) and return to Judah.” So David and his men went to Hereth forest [in Judah].
6 At nabalitaan ni Saul na si David ay nasumpungan, at ang mga lalake na kasama niya: si Saul nga'y nauupo sa Gabaa sa ilalim ng punong tamarisko sa Rama, na tangan ang kaniyang sibat sa kaniyang kamay, at ang lahat ng kaniyang mga lingkod ay nakatayo sa palibot niya.
One day, someone told Saul that David and his men had arrived in Judah. On that day, Saul was sitting underneath the tamarisk tree on a hill at Gibeah [town]. He was holding his spear, and was surrounded by his army officers.
7 At sinabi ni Saul sa kaniyang mga lingkod na nakatayo sa palibot niya, Dinggin ninyo ngayon, mga Benjamita; bibigyan ba ng anak ni Isai ang bawa't isa sa inyo ng mga bukiran at mga ubasan, gagawin ba niya kayong lahat na mga punong kawal ng lilibuhin at mga punong kawal ng dadaanin;
He shouted to them, “You men of the tribe of Benjamin, listen to me! Do you think that the son of Jesse will give all of you fields and vineyards [if he becomes your king]? Will he appoint all of you to become generals and captains [in his army] [RHQ]?
8 Upang kayong lahat ay magsipagsuwail laban sa akin, at walang nagpakilala sa akin nang gawin ng aking anak ang isang pakikipagtipan sa anak ni Isai, at wala sinoman sa inyo na nagdamdam dahil sa akin, o nagpakilala sa akin na ang aking anak ay humihikayat sa aking lingkod laban sa akin upang bumakay, gaya sa araw na ito?
Is that why you have all conspired against me [RHQ]? None of you told me when my son [Jonathan] made a solemn agreement with that son of Jesse. None of you feels sorry for me. That son of Jesse was my servant, but now my son is encouraging him to hide in order to (ambush me/attack me suddenly), as he is doing today!”
9 Nang magkagayo'y sumagot si Doeg na Idumeo na nakatayo sa siping ng mga lingkod ni Saul, at nagsabi, Aking nakita ang anak ni Isai na naparoroon sa Nob, kay Ahimelech na anak ni Ahitob.
Doeg, a man from the Edom people-group, was standing there with Saul’s officers. He said to Saul, “When I was at Nob, I saw that son of Jesse talking to Ahimelech, the priest.
10 At isinangguni niya siya sa Panginoon, at binigyan siya ng mga pagkain, at ibinigay sa kaniya ang tabak ni Goliath na Filisteo.
Ahimelech asked Yahweh what David should do. Then Ahimelech gave to David some food and the sword of Goliath, [the giant] from the Philistia people-group.”
11 Nang magkagayo'y ipinatawag ng hari si Ahimelech na saserdote na anak ni Ahitob, at ang buong sangbahayan ng kaniyang ama, na mga saserdote na nasa Nob, at sila'y naparoong lahat sa hari.
Then Saul summoned Ahimelech and all Ahimelech’s relatives who were priests at Nob. So they all came to the king.
12 At sinabi ni Saul, Iyong dinggin ngayon, ikaw na anak ni Ahitob. At siya'y sumagot. Narito ako, panginoon ko.
Saul said to Ahimelech, “You son of Ahitub, listen to me!” Ahimelech answered, “Yes, sir!”
13 At sinabi ni Saul sa kaniya, Bakit kayo ay nagsipagsuwail laban sa akin, ikaw, at ang anak ni Isai, na iyong binigyan siya ng tinapay, at ng tabak, at isinangguni siya sa Dios upang siya'y bumangon laban sa akin na bumakay, gaya sa araw na ito?
Saul said, “Why are you and Jesse’s son conspiring to get rid of me? You gave him some bread and a sword. You requested God to tell David what he should do. David has rebelled against me, and right now he is [hiding somewhere], waiting [to attack me].”
14 Nang magkagayo'y sumagot si Ahimelech sa hari, at nagsabi, At sino sa gitna ng lahat ng iyong mga lingkod ang tapat na gaya ni David, na manugang ng hari, at tinatanggap sa iyong pulong, at karangaldangal sa iyong bahay?
Ahimelech replied, “[I do not understand why you are saying that, because] David, your son-in-law, the captain of your bodyguards, is very loyal to you. No one is more loyal to you than David! Everyone in your household respects him very much.
15 Pinasimulan ko bang isangguni siya ngayon sa Dios? malayo sa akin: huwag ibintang ng hari ang anomang bagay sa kaniyang lingkod, o sa buong sangbahayan man ng aking ama: sapagka't walang nalalamang bagay ang iyong lingkod tungkol sa lahat na ito, munti o malaki.
Furthermore, this was certainly not [RHQ] the first time that I requested God to say what he wanted David to do. And it is not right for you to accuse me or any of my relatives [of trying to get rid of you], because I do not know anything about [anyone wanting to do that].”
16 At sinabi ng hari, Ikaw ay walang pagsalang mamamatay, Ahimelech, ikaw at ang buong sangbahayan ng iyong ama.
The king then shouted, “Ahimelech, you and your all your relatives are going to be executed right now!”
17 At sinabi ng hari sa bantay na nangakatayo sa palibot niya, Pumihit kayo at patayin ninyo ang mga saserdote ng Panginoon; sapagka't ang kanilang kamay man ay sumasa kay David, at sapagka't kanilang nalaman na siya'y tumakas, at hindi nila ipinakilala sa akin. Nguni't hindi inibig ng mga lingkod ng hari na iunat ang kanilang kamay upang daluhungin ang mga saserdote ng Panginoon.
Then he commanded his bodyguards, “Kill these priests of Yahweh, because they are allies of David, and they are conspiring with David against me! They knew that David was trying to run away from me, but they did not tell me!” But Saul’s bodyguards refused to kill Yahweh’s priests.
18 At sinabi ng hari kay Doeg: Pumihit ka, at iyong daluhungin ang mga saserdote. At pumihit si Doeg na Idumeo, at kaniyang dinaluhong ang mga saserdote, at kaniyang pinatay nang araw na yaon ay walong pu't limang lalake na nagsusuot ng epod na lino.
Then the king said to Doeg, “You kill them!” So Doeg, the man from the Edom people-group, went out and struck them with his sword. On that day he killed eighty-five men who were wearing the sacred vests [because they were God’s priests].
19 At sinugatan ng talim ng tabak ang Nob, ang bayan ng mga saserdote, ang mga lalake at gayon din ang mga babae, ang mga bata at ang mga pasusuhin, at ang mga baka at mga asno at mga tupa, ng talim ng tabak.
He also went and killed many people in Nob, the city where the priests lived. He killed men, women, children, babies, cattle, donkeys, and sheep there.
20 At isa sa mga anak ni Ahimelech na anak ni Ahitob na nagngangalang Abiathar ay tumanan, at tumakas na sumunod kay David.
But Abiathar, Ahimelech’s son, escaped. He ran away and joined David [and the men who were with him].
21 At isinaysay ni Abiathar kay David na pinatay na ni Saul ang mga saserdote ng Panginoon.
He told David that Saul had commanded [Doeg] to kill Yahweh’s priests.
22 At sinabi ni David kay Abiathar, Talastas ko nang araw na yaon na si Doeg na Idumeo ay naroon, na kaniyang tunay na sasaysayin kay Saul: ako'y naging kadahilanan ng kamatayan ng lahat ng mga tao sa sangbahayan ng iyong ama.
Then David said to him, “That man from the Edom people-group, Doeg, was there at Nob on the day [that I was there]. I knew that he would surely tell Saul [what happened]. So it is my fault that your father and all of his family have been killed.
23 Matira kang kasama ko, huwag kang matakot; sapagka't siya na umuusig ng aking buhay ay umuusig ng iyong buhay: sapagka't kasama kita ay maliligtas ka.
You stay with me, and do not be afraid. The man who wants to kill you wants to kill me also, but you will be safe if you stay with me.”
