1 Samuel 18
1 Nang matapos siyang makipag-usap kay Saul, ibinigkis ang kaluluwa ni Jonatan sa kaluluwa ni David, at minahal ni Jonatan si David bilang kanyang sariling kaluluwa.
[And it came to pass when he had finished speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David and David loved him ] [as his own soul. ]
2 Kinuha ni Saul si David na maglingkod sa kanya sa araw na iyon; hindi niya siya hinayaang bumalik sa bahay ng kanyang ama.
[And Saul took him in that day, and did not suffer him to return to his father's house. ]
3 Pagkatapos gumawa ng pakikipagkaibigang kasunduan sina Jonatan at David dahil minahal siya ni Jonatan na parang kanyang sariling kaluluwa.
[And Jonathan and David made a covenant because he loved him as his own soul. ]
4 Hinubad ni Jonatan ang kanyang balabal na kanyang isinuot at ibinigay ito kay David kasama nang kanyang sandata, kanyang espada, pana at sinturon.
[And Jonathan stripped himself of his ] [upper garment, and gave it to David, and his mantle and all he had upon him, even to his sword and to his bow, and to his girdle. ]
5 Pumupunta si David saan man siya ipadala ni Saul at nagtatagumpay siya. Itinalaga siya ni Saul bilang pinuno sa kalalakihang mandirigma. Nakakalugod ito sa paningin ng lahat ng tao at sa paningin din ng mga lingkod ni Saul.
[And David went out withersoever Saul sent him, and ] [acted wisely, and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was pleasing in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul. ]
6 Sa kanilang pag-uwi mula sa pagtalo sa mga Filisteo, pumunta ang mga kababaihang nagmula sa lahat ng lungsod ng Israel, na nag-aawitan at nagsasayawan, para salubungin si Haring Saul, na may tamburin, kagalakan, at mga instrumentong pangmusika.
And there came out women in dances to meet David out of all the cities of Israel, with timbrels, and with rejoicing, and with cymbals.
7 Nag-aawitan ang kababaihan habang tumutugtog; inawit nila: “Pinatay ni Saul ang kanyang libu-libo, at si David ang kanyang sampung libo.”
And the women began [the strain], and said, Saul has smitten his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
8 Galit na galit si Saul at hindi nakalugod sa kanya ang awiting ito. Sinabi niya, “Ipinagpalagay nila kay David ang sampung libo, pero ang ipinagpalagay nila sa akin ay libu-libo lamang. Ano pa ang kanyang makukuha kundi ang kaharian?”
And it seemed evil in the eyes of Saul concerning this matter, and he said, To David they have given ten thousands, and to me they have given thousands. [And what more can he have but the kingdom? ]
9 At patuloy na minasdan ni Saul si David na may paghihinala mula sa araw na iyon.
[And Saul eyed David from that day and onward. ]
10 Kinabukasan sumugod ang mapanirang espiritu kay Saul mula sa Diyos. At nagsisigaw siya sa loob ng bahay. Kaya tumugtog si David ang kaniyang instrumento, gaya ng kanyang ginagawa bawat araw. Hawak ni Saul ang sibat sa kanyang kamay.
[And it came to pass] [on the morrow that an evil spirit from God fell upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David was playing on the harp with his hand, according to his daily custom. And Saul’s spear was in his hand. ]
11 Inihagis ni Saul ang sibat, sapagkat iniisip niya, “Aking itutusok si David sa dingding.” Ngunit tumakas si David mula sa presensiya ni Saul dalawang ulit sa ganitong paraan.
[And Saul took his spear and said, I will smite David even to the wall. But David escaped twice from his presence. ]
12 Natakot si Saul kay David, dahil kasama niya si Yahweh, ngunit hindi na kasama ni Saul.
And Saul was alarmed on account of David.
13 Kaya pinaalis siya ni Saul mula sa kanyang presensiya at hinirang siya na isang kumander ng isang libo. Sa ganitong paraan, lumalabas si David at pumupunta sa mga tao.
And he removed him from him, and made him a captain of a thousand for himself; and he went out and came in before the people.
14 Sumasagana si David sa lahat ng kanyang paraan, sapagkat kasama niya si Yahweh.
And David was prudent in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.
15 Nang makita ni Saul na sumagana siya, tumayo siya nang may pagkamangha sa kanya.
And Saul saw that he was very wise, and he was afraid of him.
16 Pero minahal ng buong Israel at Juda si David dahil lumalabas siya at pumunta sa kanilang harapan.
And all Israel and Juda loved David, because he came in and went out before the people.
17 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Saul kay David, “Narito ang aking panganay na anak na babae, si Merab. Ibibigay ko siya sa iyo bilang asawa. Magpakatapang ka lamang para sa akin at lumaban sa labanan ni Yahweh.” Sapagkat inisip ni Saul, “Huwag hayaang pagbuhatan ko siya ng kamay, ngunit hayaang pagbuhatan siya ng kamay ng mga taga-Filisteo.”
[And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merob, I will give her to thee to Wife, only be thou to me a mighty man and fight the wars of the Lord. And Saul said, Let not my hand be upon him, but the hand of the Philistines shall be upon him. ]
18 Sinabi ni David kay Saul, “Sino ako? At ano ang aking buhay, o pamilya ng aking ama sa Israel, na dapat akong maging manugang ng hari?”
[And David said to Saul, Who am I, and What is the life of my father’s family in Israel, that I should be the king’s son—in-law? ]
19 Ngunit sa panahon nang si Merab, ang anak na babae ni Saul, ay dapat ibinigay sana kay David, ibinigay siya bilang asawa kay Adreil na taga-Meholat.
[But it came to pass at the time when Merob Saul’s daughter should have been given to David, that she was given to Israel the Mothulathite to wife. ]
20 Pero minahal ni Mical, na anak na babae ni Saul si David. Sinabihan nila si Saul at nakalugod ito sa kanya.
And Melchol the daughter of Saul loved David; and it was told Saul, and the thing was pleasing in his eyes.
21 Pagkatapos inisip ni Saul, “Ibibigay ko siya sa kanya, upang siya'y maging bitag sa kanya, at upang ang kamay ng mga taga-Filisteo ay maging laban sa kanya.” Kaya sinabi ni Saul kay David sa pangalawang pagkakataon, “Ikaw ang aking magiging manugang na lalaki.”
And Saul said, I will give her to him, and she shall be a stumbling-block to him. Now the hand of the Philistines was against Saul.
22 Inutusan ni Saul ang kanyang mga lingkod, “Palihim ninyong kausapin si David at sabihin, 'Tingnan mo, kinasisiyahan ka ng hari, at mahal ka ng lahat niyang mga lingkod. Ngayon nga, magiging manugang na lalaki ka ng hari.”'
And Saul charged his servants, saying, Speak ye privately to David, saying, Behold, the king delights in thee, and all his servants love thee, and do thou becomes the king's son-in-law.
23 Kaya sinabi ng mga lingkod ni Saul kay David ang mga salitang ito. At sinabi ni David, “Maliit na bagay lang ba sa inyo ang maging manugang ng hari, yamang isa akong dukha, at kaunti ang kabuluhan?”
And the servants of Saul spoke these words in the ears of David; and David said, [Is it] a light thing in your eyes to become son-in-law to the king? Whereas I [am] an humble man, an not honourable?
24 Iniulat ng mga lingkod ni Saul ang mga salitang ito na sinabi ni David.
And the servants of Saul reported to him according to these words, which David spoke.
25 At sinabi ni Saul, “Ganito ang inyong sasabihin kay David, 'Hindi naghahangad ang hari ng anumang dote, isang daang pinagtulian ng mga Filisteo lamang, upang mapaghigantihan ang mga kaaway ng hari.”' Ngayon iniisip ni Saul na mahulog si David sa kamay ng mga Filisteo.
And Saul said, Thus shall ye speak to David, The king wants no gift but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to avenge himself on the kings enemies. Now Saul thought to cast him into the hands of the Philistines.
26 Nang sinabi ng mga lingkod ang mga salitang ito kay David, nakalugod ito kay David na maging manugang ng hari.
And the servants of Saul report these words to David, and David was well pleased to become the son-in-law to the king.
27 Bago lumipas ang mga araw na iyon, humayo si David kasama ang kanyang mga tauhan at pumatay ng dalawang daang Filisteo. Dinala ni David ang kanilang pinagtulian, at ibinigay ang mga ito ng buong bilang sa hari, upang maging manugang siya ng hari. Kaya ibinigay ni Saul ang kanyang anak na si Mical sa kanya bilang asawa.
And David arose, and went, he and his men, and smote among the Philistines a hundred men: and he brought their foreskins, and he becomes the king's son-in-law, and [Saul] gives him Melchol his daughter to wife.
28 At nakita at nalaman ni Saul na si Yahweh ay kasama ni David. Minahal siya ni Mical, ang anak na babae ni Saul.
And Saul saw that the Lord [was] with David, and [that] all Israel loved him.
29 Mas lalong natakot si Saul kay David. Patuloy na naging kaaway ni Saul si David.
And he was yet more afraid of David.
30 Kaya lumabas ang mga prinsipe ng Filisteo para sa digmaan, at sa tuwing lumalabas sila, nagtatagumpay si David kaysa sa lahat na mga lingkod ni Saul, kaya ang kanyang pangalan ay binigyan ng mataas na paggalang.
[And the chief of the Philistines went forth; and it came to pass that from ] [the suficiency of their expedition David acted Wisely above all the servants of Saul; and his name was honoured exceedingly. ]
