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;

When David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made a raid on the South and on Ziklag, and had struck 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 and all who were in it, both small and great. They didn’t kill any, but carried them off and went 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 David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burnt with fire; and their wives, their sons, and their daughters were 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 who 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.

David’s two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail 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.

David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the souls of all the people were grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters; but David strengthened 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.

David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Please bring the ephod here to me.” Abiathar brought the ephod to 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.

David enquired of the LORD, saying, “If I pursue after this troop, will I overtake them?” He answered him, “Pursue, for you will surely overtake them, and will without fail 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 who were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those who 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, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they couldn’t go over the brook 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:

They found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; 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.

They gave him a piece of a cake of figs and two clusters of raisins. When he had eaten, his spirit came again to him; for he had eaten no bread, and drank no water for 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.

David asked him, “To whom do you belong? Where are you from?” He said, “I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I got sick.

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 a raid on the South of the Cherethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the South of Caleb; and we burnt Ziklag 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.

David said to him, “Will you bring me down to this troop?” He said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me and not deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you 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.

When he had brought him down, behold, they were spread around over all the ground, eating, drinking, and dancing, because of all the great plunder that 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.

David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day. Not a man of them escaped from there, except four hundred young men who rode on camels and fled.

18 At binawi ni David ang lahat na nakuha ng mga Amalecita: at iniligtas ni David ang kaniyang dalawang asawa.

David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and David rescued his two wives.

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.

There was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither plunder, nor anything that they had taken. David brought them all 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.

David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other livestock, and said, “This is David’s plunder.”

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.

David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to stay at the brook Besor; and they went out to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. When David came near to the people, he greeted them.

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 all the wicked men and worthless fellows of those who went with David answered and said, “Because they didn’t go with us, we will not give them anything of the plunder that we have recovered, except to every man his wife and his children, that he may lead them away and depart.”

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 David said, “Do not do so, my brothers, with that which the LORD has given to us, who has 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 will listen to you in this matter? For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so shall his share be who stays with the baggage. They shall share alike.”

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.

It was so from that day forward that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to 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;

When David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the plunder to the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, “Behold, a present for you from the plunder of the LORD’s enemies.”

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

He sent it to those who were in Bethel, to those who were in Ramoth of the South, to those who were in Jattir,

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

to those who were in Aroer, to those who were in Siphmoth, 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;

to those who were in Racal, to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, 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;

to those who were in Hormah, to those who were in Borashan, 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.

to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men used to stay.
