< 1 Samuel 30 >
1 At nangyari, nang si David at ang kaniyang mga lalake ay dumating sa Siclag, sa ikatlong araw, na ang mga Amalecita ay sumalakay sa Timugan, at sa Siclag, at sinaktan ang Siclag, at sinunog ng apoy;
And it came to pass when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, that the 'Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burnt it with fire;
2 At dinalang bihag ang mga babae at lahat na nandoon, ang maliliit at gayon din ang malalaki; hindi nila pinatay ang sinoman, kundi kanilang pinagdadala, at nagpatuloy ng kanilang lakad.
And had taken captive the women that were therein, both great and small: they had not slain any one, but had led them off, and gone on their way.
3 At nang si David at ang kaniyang mga lalake ay dumating sa bayan, narito, sinunog ng apoy; at ang kanilang mga asawa, at ang kanilang mga anak na lalake at babae ay pinagdadalang bihag.
When therefore David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burnt with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, had been taken captive.
4 Nang magkagayo'y si David at ang bayan na nasa kaniya ay naglakas ng tinig, at umiyak, hanggang sa sila'y nawalan ng lakas na umiyak.
And David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
5 At ang dalawang asawa ni David ay nabihag, si Ahinoam na taga Jezreel, at si Abigail, na asawa ni Nabal, na taga Carmelo.
And the two wives of David were also taken captive, Achino'am the Yizre'elitess, and Abigayil the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
6 At nagdalamhating totoo si David, sapagka't pinagsasalitaan ng bayan na batuhin siya, sapagka't ang kaluluwa ng buong bayan ay pumanglaw, bawa't tao dahil sa kanikaniyang mga anak na lalake at babae; nguni't si David ay nagpakatibay sa Panginoon niyang Dios.
And David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was imbittered, every man for his sons and for his daughters; but David fortified himself in the Lord his God.
7 At sinabi ni David kay Abiathar na saserdote, na anak ni Ahimelech, Isinasamo ko sa iyo na dalhin mo rito ang epod. At dinala doon ni Abiathar ang epod kay David.
And David said to Ebyathar the priest, the son of Achimelech, Bring hither, I pray thee, unto me the ephod. And Ebyathar brought the ephod near unto David.
8 At sumangguni si David sa Panginoon, na nagsasabi, Kung aking habulin ang pulutong na ito, ay akin kayang aabutan sila? At sinagot niya siya, Iyong habulin: sapagka't tunay na iyong aabutan, at walang pagsalang mababawi mo ang lahat.
And David asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop! shall I overtake them? And he said to him, Pursue; for thou wilt surely overtake them, and certainly recover [all].
9 Sa gayo'y yumaon si David, siya at ang anim na raang lalake na kasama niya, at naparoon sa batis ng Besor, na kinaroroonan niyaong mga naiwan sa likuran.
So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came up to the brook Bessor, where those that were left behind stayed.
10 Nguni't hinabol ni David, niya at ng apat na raang lalake: sapagka't ang dalawang daan natira sa likuran, na mga pata na hindi na nakatawid sa batis ng Besor:
But David pursued on, he and four hundred men; and there stayed behind two hundred men, who were too fatigued to go over the brook Bessor.
11 At sila'y nakasumpong ng isang taga Egipto sa parang, at dinala nila siya kay David, at binigyan nila siya ng tinapay, at kumain: at binigyan nila siya ng tubig na mainom:
And they found an Egyptian man in the field, and took him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;
12 At binigyan nila siya ng isang putol ng binilong igos, at dalawang buwig na ubas; at nang kaniyang makain, ang kaniyang diwa ay nagsauli uli sa kaniya: sapagka't hindi siya nakakain ng tinapay o nakainom man ng tubig, na tatlong araw at tatlong gabi.
And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins, and he ate, and then his spirit returned to him; for he had not eaten any bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
13 At sinabi ni David sa kaniya, Kanino ka ba nauukol? at taga saan ka? At sinabi niya, Ako'y isang binatang taga Egipto, bataan ng isang Amalecita; at iniwan ako ng aking panginoon, sapagka't tatlong araw na ako'y nagkasakit.
And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young Egyptian man, the servant to an 'Amalekite; and my master left me behind, because I fell sick, today three days ago.
14 Kami ay sumalakay sa Timugan ng mga Ceretheo, at sa nauukol sa Juda, at sa Timugan ng Caleb; at aming sinunog ng apoy ang Siclag.
We made an invasion upon the south of the Kerethites, and upon that which belongeth to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and Ziklag did we burn with fire.
15 At sinabi ni David sa kaniya, Ilulusong mo ba ako sa pulutong na ito? At kaniyang sinabi, Ipanumpa mo sa akin ang Dios, hindi mo ako papatayin, o ibibigay man sa mga kamay ng aking panginoon, at aking ilulusong ka sa pulutong na ito.
And David said to him, Wilt thou bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt not kill me, and that thou wilt not surrender me into the hand of my master, and then will I bring thee down to this troop.
16 At nang kaniyang mailusong, narito, sila'y nangangalat sa buong lupa, na nagkakainan at nagiinuman, at nagkakasayahan, dahil sa lahat na malaking samsam na kanilang nakuha sa lupain ng mga Filisteo, at sa lupain ng Juda.
And he brought him down; and behold, they were scattered over the face of all the country, eating and drinking, and dancing for joy, because of all the great spoil which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
17 At sinaktan ni David sila mula sa pagtatakip silim hanggang sa paglubog ng araw sa sumunod na araw: at walang taong nakatanan sa kanila liban sa apat na raang bataan na nakasakay sa mga kamelyo at tumakas.
And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day; and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, who rode upon camels, and fled.
18 At binawi ni David ang lahat na nakuha ng mga Amalecita: at iniligtas ni David ang kaniyang dalawang asawa.
And David recovered all that the 'Amalekites had taken away; and his two wives also did David rescue.
19 At walang nagkulang sa kanila, kahit maliit o malaki man, kahit mga anak na lalake o babae man, kahit samsam man, kahit anomang bagay na nakuha nila sa kanila: ibinalik na lahat ni David.
And there was nothing missing to them, from small to great, as also sons and daughters, and spoil, down to every thing that they had taken from them: the whole did David bring back.
20 At kinuha ni David ang lahat ng kawan at bakahan, na kanilang dinala na nasa unahan niyaong mga ibang hayop, at sinabi, Ito'y samsam ni David.
And David took all the flocks and the herds: these they drove before those other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil.
21 At naparoon si David sa dalawang daang lalake, na totoong mga pata na hindi nangakasunod kay David, na kanila namang pinatahan sa batis ng Besor; at sila'y lumabas upang salubungin si David, at upang salubungin ang mga taong kasama niya: at nang lumapit si David sa bayan, siya'y bumati sa kanila.
And David came to the two hundred men, who had been too fatigued to follow after David, and whom they had left to remain at the brook Bessor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him; and David came near to the people, and asked them after their well-being.
22 Nang magkagayo'y sumagot ang lahat ng masamang tao, at mga tao na hamak, sa mga yumaong kasama ni David, at nagsabi, Sapagka't hindi sila yumaong kasama namin, hindi namin bibigyan sila ng samsam na aming nabawi, liban sa bawa't lalake ay ang kaniyang asawa at ang kaniyang mga anak, upang kanilang dalhin, at yumaon.
Then exclaimed every wicked and worthless man, of those that had gone with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them aught of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, and these they may lead away, and go.
23 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni David, Huwag ninyong gagawing gayon, mga kapatid ko, sa ibinigay sa atin ng Panginoon, na siyang nagadya sa atin, at nagbigay sa ating kamay ng pulutong na naparito laban sa atin.
Then said David, Ye must not do so, my brethren; since the Lord hath given us this, and guarded us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
24 At sino ang didinig sa inyo sa bagay na ito? sapagka't kung gaano ang bahagi ng lumusong sa pakikipagbaka, ay gayon ang bahagi ng naiwan sa daladalahan: sila'y paraparang magkakabahagi.
And who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as is the part of him that went down to the battle, so shall be the part of him that remained with the baggage: together must they share.
25 At nagkagayon, na mula sa araw na yaon, na siya'y gumawa ng isang palatuntunan at ayos sa Israel, hanggang sa araw na ito.
And it happened from that day and forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel until this day.
26 At nang dumating si David sa Siclag, siya'y nagpadala ng mga samsam sa mga matanda sa Juda, sa makatuwid baga'y sa kaniyang mga kaibigan, na sinasabi, Narito, ang isang kaloob sa inyo na mula sa samsam sa mga kaaway ng Panginoon;
And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying, Behold, here is a present for you from the spoil of the enemies of the Lord:
27 Sa kanila na nasa Beth-el, at sa kanila na nasa Ramoth ng Timugan, at sa kanila na nasa Jathir;
To those who were in Beth-el, and to those who were in south Ramoth, and to those who were in Yattir,
28 At sa kanila na nasa Aroer, at sa kanila na nasa Siphmoth, at sa kanila na nasa Esthemoa;
And to those who were in 'Aro'er, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa',
29 At sa kanila na nasa Rachal, at sa kanila na nasa mga bayan ng mga Jerameelita, at sa kanila na nasa mga bayan ng mga Cineo;
And to those who were in Rachal, and to those who were in the cities of Yerach-meelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenites,
30 At sa kanila na sa Horma, at sa kanila na nasa Chorasan, at sa kanila na nasa Athach;
And to those who were in Chormah, and to those who were in Kor-'ashan, and to those who were in 'Athach,
31 At sa kanila na nasa Hebron, at sa lahat na dako na karaniwang pinaroroonan ni David at ng kaniyang mga lalake.
And to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men had wandered about.
