< 1 Samuel 19 >

1 Sinabi ni Saul sa kanyang anak na si Jonatan at sa lahat ng kanyang mga lingkod na kailangan nilang patayin si David. Pero nalugod ng labis si Jonatan kay David, anak na lalaki ni Saul.
And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan the son of Saul loved David exceedingly.
2 Kaya sinabi ni Jonatan kay David, “gusto kang patayin ng aking amang si Saul. Kaya maging handa sa umaga at magtago sa isang lihim na lugar.
And Jonathan told David, saying: Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: wherefore look to thyself, I beseech thee, in the morning, and thou shalt abide in a secret place and shalt be hid.
3 Lalabas ako at tatayo sa tabi ng aking ama sa bukirin kung nasaan ka, at makikipag-usap ako sa aking ama tungkol sa iyo. Kung may malaman akong anumang bagay, sasabihin ko sa iyo.”
And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art: and I will speak of thee to my father, and whatsoever I shall see, I will tell thee.
4 Nagsalita ng magandang bagay si Jonatan patungkol kay David sa kanyang ama na si Saul at sinabi sa kanyang, “Huwag mong hayaang magkasala ang hari laban sa kanyang lingkod na si David. Sapagkat hindi siya nagkasala laban sa iyo, at nagdala ng kabutihan sa iyo ang kanyang mga gawa.
And Jonathan spoke good things of David to Saul his father: and said to him: Sin not, O king, against thy servant, David, because he hath not sinned against thee, and his works are very good towards thee.
5 Sapagkat ipinagsapalaran niya ang kanyang buhay at pinatay ang taga-Filisteo. Nagdala ng malaking tagumpay si Yahweh para sa buong Israel. Nakita mo ito at nagalak ka. Bakit ka magkakasala laban sa walang salang dugo sa pamamagitan ng pagpatay kay David nang walang dahilan?”
And he put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the Lord wrought great salvation for all Israel. Thou sawest it and didst rejoice. Why therefore wilt thou sin against innocent blood by killing David, who is without fault?
6 Nakinig si Saul kay Jonatan. Sumumpa si Saul, “Habang nabubuhay si Yahweh, hindi ko siya papatayin.”
And when Saul heard this he was appeased with the words of Jonathan, and swore: As the Lord liveth he shall not be slain.
7 Pagkatapos tinawag ni Jonatan si David, sinabi ni Jonatan ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito. Dinala ni Jonatan si David kay Saul, at nasa piling niya siya tulad ng dati.
Then Jonathan called David and told him all these words: and Jonathan brought in David to Saul, and he was before him, as he had been yesterday and the day before.
8 At may digmaan muli. Humayo si David at nakipaglaban sa mga Filisteo at tinalo sila sa isang matinding patayan. Tumakas sila sa kanya.
And the war began again, and David went out and fought against the Philistines, and defeated them with a great slaughter, and they fled from his face.
9 Isang mapaminsalang espiritu mula kay Yahweh ang pumunta kay Saul habang nakaupo siya sa kanyang tahanan na may sibat sa kanyang kamay, at habang nagpapatugtog si David ng kanyang panugtog.
And the evil spirit from the Lord came upon Saul, and he sat in his house, and held a spear in his hand: and David played with his hand.
10 Sinubukang itusok ni Saul si David sa pader gamit ang sibat, ngunit nakaalis siya mula sa presensiya ni Saul, kaya naitusok ni Saul ang sibat sa pader. Lumayo at tumakas si David ng gabing iyon.
And Saul endeavoured to nail David to the wall with his spear. And David slipt away out of the presence of Saul: and the spear missed him, and was fastened in the wall, and David fled and escaped that night.
11 Nagpadala si Saul ng mga mensahero sa sambahayan ni David upang bantayan siya ng sa ganun maaari niya siyang mapatay sa umaga. Sinabi sa kanya ni Mical, asawa ni David, “Kung hindi mo ililigtas ang iyong sarili ngayong gabi, bukas mapapatay ka.”
Saul therefore sent his guards to David’s house to watch him, that he might be killed in the morning. And when Michol David’s wife had told him this, saying: Unless thou save thyself this night, tomorrow thou wilt die,
12 Kaya pinababa ni Mical si David sa bintana. Umalis siya at lumayo at tumakas.
She let him down through a window. And he went and fled away and escaped.
13 Kumuha si Mical ng isang sambahayang diyus-diyosan at nilagay ito sa kama. Pagkatapos naglagay siya ng isang unan na gawa sa buhok ng kambing sa ulunan nito, at tinakpan ito gamit ang mga damit.
And Michol took an image and laid it on the bed, and put a goat’s skin with the hair at the head of it, and covered it with clothes.
14 Nang magpadala si Saul ng mga mensahero para kunin si David, sinabi niyang, “May sakit siya.”
And Saul sent officers to seize David: and it was answered that he was sick.
15 Pagkatapos nagpadala si Saul ng mga mensahero upang tingnan si David; sinabi niya, “Dalhin ninyo siya sa akin sa kama, upang mapatay ko siya.”
And again Saul sent to see David, saying: Bring him to me in the bed, that he may be slain.
16 Nang pumasok ang mga mensahero, masdan, nasa kama ang sambahayang diyus-diyosan kasama ng unan na buhok ng kambing sa uluhan nito.
And when the messengers were come in, they found an image upon the bed, and a goat’s skin at its head.
17 Sinabi ni Saul kay Mical, “Bakit mo ako nilinlang at hinayaang umalis ang aking kaaway, kaya nakatakas siya?” Sinagot ni Mical si Saul, “Sinabi niya sa akin, 'Hayaan akong makaalis. Bakit kailangan kitang patayin?”'
And Saul said to Michol: Why hast thou deceived me so, and let my enemy go and flee away? And Michol answered Saul: Because he said to me: Let me go, or else I will kill thee.
18 Ngayon lumayo si David at tumakas, at nagtungo kay Samuel sa Rama at sinabi sa kanya ang lahat ng ginawa ni Saul sa kanya. Pagkatapos nagtungo at nanatili siya at si Samuel sa Naiot.
But David fled and escaped, and came to Samuel in Ramatha, and told him all that Saul had done to him: and he and Samuel went and dwelt in Najoth.
19 Sinabi ito kay Saul, na sinasabing, “Tingnan mo, nasa Naiot si David sa Rama.”
And it was told Saul by some, saying: Behold David is in Najoth in Ramatha.
20 Pagkatapos nagpadala si Saul ng mga mensahero upang hulihin si David. Nang makita nila ang samahan ng mga propetang nanghuhula, at tumatayo si Samuel bilang kanilang pinuno, nagtungo ang Espiritu ng Diyos sa mga mensahero ni Saul, at nanghula din sila.
So Saul sent officers to take David: and when they saw a company of prophets prophesying, and Samuel presiding over them, the spirit of the Lord came also upon them, and they likewise began to prophesy.
21 Nang masabihan si Saul nito, nagpadala siya ng ibang mga mensahero at nanghula din sila. Kaya nagpadala muli si Saul ng mga mensahero sa ikatlong pagkakataon, at nanghula din sila.
And when this was told Saul, he sent other messengers: but they also prophesied. And again Saul sent messengers the third time: and they prophesied also. And Saul being exceedingly angry,
22 Pagkatapos nagtungo din siya sa Rama at dumating sa malalim na balon na nasa Secu. Tinanong niya, “Nasaan sina Samuel at David?” Mayroong nagsabing, “Tingnan, nasa Naiot sila sa Rama.”
Went also himself to Ramatha, and came as far as the great cistern, which is in Socho, and he asked, and said: In what place are Samuel and David? And it was told him: Behold they axe in Najoth in Ramatha.
23 Nagpunta si Saul sa Naiot sa Rama. At dumating din ang Espiritu ng Diyos sa kanya, at nanghula siya sa pagpunta niya, hanggang sa makabalik siya sa Naiot sa Rama.
And he went to Najoth in Ramatha, and the spirit of the Lord came upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied till he came to Najoth in Ramatha.
24 At inalis niya din ang kanyang mga damit, at nanghula din siya sa harapan ni Samuel at humigang hubad sa buong araw at buong gabing iyon. Dahil dito sinabi nilang, “Kabilang na din ba si Saul sa mga propeta?”
And he stripped himself also of his garments, and prophesied with the rest before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and night. This gave occasion to a proverb: What! is Saul too among the prophets?
