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 made an end of speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan 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 that day, and would not let him 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 David and Jonathan made a covenant, for be 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 the coat with which he was clothed, and gave it to David, and the rest of his garments, 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 to whatsoever business Saul sent him, and he behaved himself prudently: and Saul set him over the soldiers, and he was acceptable in the eyes of all the people, and especially in the eyes of Saul’s servants.
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.
Now when David returned, after be slew the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with timbrels of joy, and cornets.
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 sung as they played, and they said: I Saul slew 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 Saul was exceeding angry, and this word was displeasing in his eyes, and he said: They have given David ten thousands, and to me they have given but a thousand; what can he have more but the kingdom?
9 At patuloy na minasdan ni Saul si David na may paghihinala mula sa araw na iyon.
And Saul did not look on David with a good eye from that day and forward.
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 the day after the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David played with his hand as at other times. And Saul held a spear 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 threw it, thinking to nail David to the wall: and David stept aside out of his presence twice.
12 Natakot si Saul kay David, dahil kasama niya si Yahweh, ngunit hindi na kasama ni Saul.
And Saul feared David, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from himself.
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.
Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him a captain over a thousand men, 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 behaved wisely 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 exceeding prudent, and began to beware of him.
16 Pero minahal ng buong Israel at Juda si David dahil lumalabas siya at pumunta sa kanilang harapan.
But all Israel and Juda loved David, for he came in and went out before them.
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, her will I give thee to wife: only be a valiant man, and fight the battles of the Lord. Now Saul said within himself: Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hands of the Philistines 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, or what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son in law of the king?
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.
And it came to pass at the time when Merob the daughter of Saul should have been given to David, that she was given to Hadriel the Molathite to wife.
20 Pero minahal ni Mical, na anak na babae ni Saul si David. Sinabihan nila si Saul at nakalugod ito sa kanya.
But Michol the other daughter of Saul loved David. And it was told Saul, and it pleased him.
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, that she may be a stumblingblock to him, and that the band of the Philistines may be upon him. And Saul said to David: In two things thou shalt be my son in law this day.
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 commanded his servants to speak to David privately, saying: Behold thou pleasest the king, and all his servants love thee. Now therefore be 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 all these words in the ears of David. And David said: Doth it seem to you a small matter to be the king’s son in law? But I am a poor man, and of small ability.
24 Iniulat ng mga lingkod ni Saul ang mga salitang ito na sinabi ni David.
And the servants of Saul told him, saying: Such words as these hath David spoken.
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: Speak thus to David: The king desireth not any dowry, but only a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies. Now Saul thought to deliver David 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 when his servants had told David the words that Saul had said, the word was pleasing in the eyes of David to be the king’s son in law.
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 after a few days David rose up, and went with the men that were under him, and he slew of the Philistines two hundred men, and brought their foreskins and numbered them out to the king, that he might be his son in law. Saul therefore gave him Michol 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, and understood that the Lord was with David. And Michol the daughter of Saul loved him.
29 Mas lalong natakot si Saul kay David. Patuloy na naging kaaway ni Saul si David.
And Saul began to fear David more: and Saul became David’s enemy continually.
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 princes of the Philistines went forth: and from the beginning of their going forth, David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul, and his name became very famous.
