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 made a raid into the South, and into Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and burned 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 and all who were therein, from small even unto great, they had not put one to death, —but had driven them forth, and gone 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.

So, when David and his men came to the city, lo! 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.

Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice, and wept, —until they had no more strength 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, had been taken captive, —Ahinoam, the Jezreelitess, and Abigail, 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 in sore distress, for the people had spoken of stoning him, because the souls of all the people were embittered, every man for his own sons and for his own daughters, —but David emboldened himself in Yahweh 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.

Then said David to Abiathar the priest, son of Ahimelech, Do bring near me, I pray thee, the ephod. So Abiathar brought near the ephod, 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 enquired of Yahweh, saying, Shall I pursue this troop? shall I overtake it? And he said unto him: Pursue, for thou shalt, overtake, and thou shalt, rescue.

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, who were with him, and they came in as far as the ravine of Besor, —where, they who had to be 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, he. and four hundred men, —but the two hundred men stayed, because they were too wearied to cross over the ravine of Besor.

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 in the field, and took him unto David, —and gave him food, and he did eat, and they gave him water to drink;

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 cakes of raisins, and, when he had eaten, his spirit came back unto him, —for he had neither eaten food, nor drunk 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.

Then David said to him—Whose art thou? and whence art thou? And he said, A young man of Egypt, am I, servant to an Amalekite, and my lord left me behind, because I fell sick, 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.

As for us, we invaded the South of the Cherithites, and against that which pertaineth unto Judah, and against the South of Caleb, —and, Ziklag, burned we 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 unto him, Wilt thou bring me down unto this troop? And he said—Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt not put me to death, neither wilt thou surrender me into the hand of my lord, and I will bring thee down unto 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.

So he brought him down, and lo! they were left to themselves over the face of all the land, —eating, and drinking, and dancing around, for 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 closing twilight even unto the evening of the next day, —and there escaped not of them a man, 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 rescued all whom the Amalekites had taken, —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—whether small or great, whether spoil, or sons or daughters, or, any thing which they had taken unto themselves, —the whole, did David recover.

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, —they drave them before those other cattle, and they 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 unto the two hundred men, who had been too wearied to follow David, and whom they had suffered to remain at the ravine of Besor, —and they came forth to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him, and when David came near unto the people, they enquired of his success.

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 responded every man who was bad and abandoned, from among the men who had been with David, and said—Because they went not with me there shall not be given them of the spoil that we have rescued, —save, to every man, his wife and his children, let them put them forth, then, 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 shall not do so, my brethren, —with that which Yahweh hath given to us, who hath preserved 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.

Who indeed, could hearken unto you, in this mutter? Surely, like the share of him that went down into the battle, even, so, shall be the share of him that remained by the stores—alike, shall 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 so it came to pass, from that day forward, that he appointed it, for a statute and for a custom unto 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, unto his friends, saying, —Lo! for you, a blessing, out of the spoil of the enemies of Yahweh:

27 Sa kanila na nasa Beth-el, at sa kanila na nasa Ramoth ng Timugan, at sa kanila na nasa Jathir;

to them who were in Bethel, and to them who were in Ramoth of the South, and to them who were in Jattir,

28 At sa kanila na nasa Aroer, at sa kanila na nasa Siphmoth, at sa kanila na nasa Esthemoa;

and to them who were in Aroer, and to them who were in Siphmoth, and to them 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 them who were in Racal, and to them who were in the cities of the Jerameelites, and to them 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 them who were in Hormah, and to them who were in Cor-ashan, and to them 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 them who were in Hebron, —and to all the places where David had been to and fro, he and his men.
