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.
It happened, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, that 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.
Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home 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.
Then 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.
Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him, and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his belt.
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.
Then Saul set him over the men of war, and David went out, succeeding wherever Saul sent him. And it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight 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.
It happened as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music.
7 Nag-aawitan ang kababaihan habang tumutugtog; inawit nila: “Pinatay ni Saul ang kanyang libu-libo, at si David ang kanyang sampung libo.”
The women sang one to another as they played, and said, "Saul has slain his thousands, 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?”
Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him; and he said, "They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands. 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.
Saul viewed David with suspicion 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.
It happened on the next day, that a harmful spirit from God came mightily on Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house. David played with his hand, as he did day by day. Saul had his 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 Saul threw the spear; for he said, "I will pin David even to the wall." David escaped from his presence twice.
12 Natakot si Saul kay David, dahil kasama niya si Yahweh, ngunit hindi na kasama ni Saul.
Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and had departed from Saul.
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 his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
14 Sumasagana si David sa lahat ng kanyang paraan, sapagkat kasama niya si Yahweh.
David behaved himself 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.
When Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.
16 Pero minahal ng buong Israel at Juda si David dahil lumalabas siya at pumunta sa kanilang harapan.
But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in 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.”
Saul said to David, "Look, my elder daughter Merob, I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight the LORD's battles." For Saul said, "Do not let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on 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?”
David said to Saul, "Who am I, and what is my life, or my father's family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to 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.
But it happened at the time when Merob, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.
20 Pero minahal ni Mical, na anak na babae ni Saul si David. Sinabihan nila si Saul at nakalugod ito sa kanya.
Mikal, Saul's daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing 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 thought, "I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." Therefore Saul said to David, "You shall this day be my son-in-law a second time."
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.”'
Then Saul commanded his servants, "Talk with David secretly, and say, 'Look, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. So 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?”
Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. David said, "Does it seems to you a little thing to be the king's son-in-law, since I am a poor man, and insignificant?"
24 Iniulat ng mga lingkod ni Saul ang mga salitang ito na sinabi ni David.
The servants of Saul told him, saying, "David spoke like this."
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.
Saul said, "You shall tell David, 'The king desires no dowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies.'" Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
26 Nang sinabi ng mga lingkod ang mga salitang ito kay David, nakalugod ito kay David na maging manugang ng hari.
When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. The days were not expired;
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 killed of the Philistines one hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Mikal his daughter as 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.
When Saul saw and knew 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.
then he was even more afraid of David. So Saul was 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.
Then the leaders of the Philistines went forth: and it happened, as often as they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly esteemed.
