< 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.
Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Saul's son Jonathan liked David very much.
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.
So Jonathan told David, saying, "Saul seeks to kill you. Please take care of yourself in the morning, and keep hidden in a secret place.
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.”
I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will talk with my father about you; and if I see anything, I will tell you."
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.
Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, "Do not let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you;
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?”
for he put his life in his hand, and struck the Philistine, and the LORD worked a great victory for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?"
6 Nakinig si Saul kay Jonatan. Sumumpa si Saul, “Habang nabubuhay si Yahweh, hindi ko siya papatayin.”
Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul swore, "As the LORD lives, he shall not be put to death."
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.
Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as 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.
There was war again. David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and killed them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.
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.
A harmful spirit from the LORD was on Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing 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.
Saul sought to pin David even to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he stuck the spear into the wall. 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 sent messengers to David's house, to watch him, and to kill him in the morning. Mikal, David's wife, told him, saying, "If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed."
12 Kaya pinababa ni Mical si David sa bintana. Umalis siya at lumayo at tumakas.
So Mikal let David down through the window. He went, fled, 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.
Mikal took the teraphim, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair at its head, and covered it with the clothes.
14 Nang magpadala si Saul ng mga mensahero para kunin si David, sinabi niyang, “May sakit siya.”
When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, "He is 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.”
Then he sent the messengers to see David, saying, "Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him."
16 Nang pumasok ang mga mensahero, masdan, nasa kama ang sambahayang diyus-diyosan kasama ng unan na buhok ng kambing sa uluhan nito.
When the messengers came in, look, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats' hair 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?”'
Saul said to Mikal, "Why have you deceived me thus, and let my enemy go, so that he is escaped?" Mikal answered Saul, "He said, 'Let me go. Why should I kill you?'"
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.
Now David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and lived in the dwellings.
19 Sinabi ito kay Saul, na sinasabing, “Tingnan mo, nasa Naiot si David sa Rama.”
And it was told to Saul, saying, "Look, David is in the dwellings at Ramah."
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.
And Saul sent messengers to capture David. But when they saw a company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they prophesied.
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.
When it was told to Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
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.”
And Saul became very angry, and he himself also went to Ramah, and came to the cistern of the threshing floor that is on the bare hill. And he asked, "Where are Samuel and David?" And one said, "Look, they are in the dwellings at Ramah."
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.
So he went to the dwellings at Ramah. Then the Spirit of God came on him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to the dwellings in Ramah.
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 off his clothes and prophesied before them, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Thus it is said, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"
