1 Samuel 20
1 Pagkatapos tumakas si David mula Naiot sa Rama at dumating at sinabi kay Jonatan, “Ano ang nagawa ko? Ano ang aking kasamaan? Ano ang kasalanan ko sa harap ng iyong ama, na gustong kunin ang aking buhay?”
Then David fled from Naioth, which is in Ramah, and he went and said before Jonathan: “What have I done? What is my iniquity, or what is my sin, against your father, so that he would seek my life?”
2 Sinabi ni Jonatan kay David, “Malayong mangyari iyon; hindi ka mamamatay. Walang ginawa ang aking ama malaki man o maliit na hindi sinasabi sa akin. Bakit kailangang itago ng aking ama ang bagay na ito mula sa akin? Hindi ganoon.”
And he said to him: “May this not be! You shall not die. For my father will not do anything, great or small, without first revealing it to me. Therefore, has my father concealed this word solely from me? By no means shall this be!”
3 Gayunman nangako muli si David at sinabing, “Alam na alam ng iyong ama na nakasumpong ako ng pabor sa iyong paningin. Nasabi niyang, 'Huwag hayaang malaman ito ni Jonatan, o magluluksa siya.' Ngunit tunay nga na habang nabubuhay si Yahweh, at habang nabubuhay ka, may isang hakbang lamang sa pagitan ko at ng kamatayan.”
And he swore again to David. And David said: “Your father certainly knows that I have found favor in your sight, and so he will say, ‘Let Jonathan not know this, lest he be saddened.’ So truly, as the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, there is only one step (if I may say it) separating me from death.”
4 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Jonatan kay David, Anuman ang sabihin mo, gagawin ko para sa iyo.”
And Jonathan said to David, “Whatever your soul will tell me, I will do for you.”
5 Sinabi ni David kay Jonatan, “Bukas ang bagong buwan at kailangan kong umupo para kumain kasama ng hari. Ngunit hayaan mo akong makaalis upang makapagtago ako sa bukirin hanggang sa ikatlong araw nang gabi.
Then David said to Jonathan: “Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I am accustomed to sit in a seat beside the king to eat. Therefore, permit me that I may be hidden in the field, until the evening of the third day.
6 Kung talagang nangungulila ang ama mo sa akin, sa gayon, sabihin mo, 'Taimtim na humingi ng pahintulot na umalis si David sa akin upang makatakbo siya sa Bethlehem na kanyang lungsod; dahil taon ng pag-aalay ngayon doon para sa buong pamliya.'
If your father, looking around, will seek me, you shall respond to him: ‘David asked me if he may hurry to Bethlehem, his own city. For there are solemn sacrifices in that place for all of his tribe together.’
7 Kung sasabihin niyang, 'Mabuti iyon,' magkakaroon ng kapayapaan ang iyong lingkod. Ngunit kung sobrang galit siya, kung ganoon, nakapagpasiya na siya sa kasamaan.
If he will say, ‘It is well,’ then your servant will have peace. But if he will be angry, know that his malice has reached its height.
8 Kaya makitungo ka ng may kabutihan sa iyong lingkod sa tipan ni Yahweh sa iyo. Pero kung may kasalanan ka sa akin, ikaw mismo ang pumatay sa akin; sapagkat bakit mo naman ako dadalhin sa iyong ama?”
Therefore, show mercy to your servant. For you have brought me, your servant, into a covenant of the Lord with you. But if there is any iniquity in me, you may kill me, and you shall not lead me in to your father.”
9 Sinabi ni Jonatan, “Malayo nawa ito sa iyo! Kung malalaman kong ipinasya ng aking ama na dumating sa iyo ang kapahamakan, hindi ko ba sasabihin sa iyo?”
And Jonathan said: “May this be far from you. For certainly, if I ever realized that any wickedness was determined by my father against you, I would not be able to do anything other than report it to you.”
10 Pagkatapos sinabi ni David kay Jonatan, “Sino ang magsasabi sa akin kung may pagkakataon na sagutin ka ng iyong ama ng magaspang?”
And David responded to Jonathan, “Who will repeat it to me, if your father may perhaps answer you harshly about me?”
11 Sinabi ni Jonatan kay David, “Halika, magtungo tayo palabas ng bukirin.” At sabay silang lumabas ng bukirin.
And Jonathan said to David, “Come, and let us go out into the field.” And when they both had gone out into the field,
12 Sinabi ni Jonatan kay David, “Maging saksi nawa si Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israel. Kapag tinanong ko ang aking ama sa mga panahong ito bukas o sa ikatlong araw, kung may magandang kalooban kay David, hindi ko ipapadala at ipaalam ito sa iyo?
Jonathan said before David: “O Lord, God of Israel, if I will discover a decision by my father, tomorrow, or the day after, and if there will be anything good concerning David, and yet I do not immediately send to you and make it known to you,
13 Kung makakalugod sa aking ama na saktan ka, gawin nawa ni Yahweh kay Jonatan at mas higit pa din kung hindi ko ipapaalam ito sa iyo at papaalisin kita, upang makahayo ka nang payapa. Sumaiyo nawa si Yahweh, gaya ng kasama niya ang aking ama.
may the Lord do these things to Jonathan, and may he add these other things. But if my father will have persevered in malice against you, I will reveal it to your ear, and I will send you away, so that you may go in peace, and so that the Lord may be with you, just as he was with my father.
14 Kung buhay pa rin ako, hindi mo ba ipapakita sa akin ang tipan ng katapatan ni Yahweh, upang hindi ako mamatay?
And if I live, you shall show the mercy of the Lord to me. Yet truly, if I die,
15 At huwag mong tuluyang putulin ang iyong tipan ng katapatan mula sa aking bahay, nang dapat pinutol na ni Yahweh ang bawat isa sa mga kalaban ni David mula sa balat ng lupa.”
you shall not take away your mercy from my house, even forever, when the Lord will have rooted out the enemies of David, each and every one of them, from the earth. May he take Jonathan from his house, and may the Lord require it from the hands of the enemies of David.”
16 Kaya gumawa si Jonatan ng isang tipan sa bahay ni David at sinabing, “Mangailangan nawa si Yahweh ng isang pagtatala mula sa kamay ng mga kalaban ni David.”
Therefore, Jonathan formed a covenant with the house of David. And the Lord required it from the hands of the enemies of David.
17 Ipinagawa muli ni Jonatan si David ng pangako dahil sa pagmamahal na mayroon siya sa kanya, dahil minahal niya siya gaya ng pagmamahal niya sa kanyang sariling kaluluwa.
And Jonathan continued to swear to David, because he loved him. For he loved him like his own soul.
18 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Jonatan sa kanya, “Bagong buwan bukas. Hahanapin ka dahil walang uupo sa iyong upuan.
And Jonathan said to him: “Tomorrow is the new moon, and you will be sought.
19 Kapag nakapanatili ka na ng tatlong araw, bumaba ng mabilisan at pumunta sa lugar kung saan ka nagtago noong nangyari ang usapin at manatili sa may bato ng Ezel.
For your seat will be empty until the day after tomorrow. Therefore, you shall descend quickly, and you shall go to the place where you are to be hidden, on a day when it is lawful to work, and you shall remain beside the stone that is called Ezel.
20 Papana ako ng tatlong palaso sa gilid nito, na para bang pumapana ako sa isang patamaan.
And I will shoot three arrows near it, and I will cast them as if I were practicing for myself toward a mark.
21 At ipapadala ko ang aking binata at sabihin sa kanyang, 'Humayo kayo at hanapin ang mga palaso.' Kung sasabihin ko sa binatang, 'Tingnan ninyo, nasa gilid mo ang mga palaso; kunin ang mga ito,” pagkatapos pumarito kayo; dahil magkakaroon ng kaligtasan para sa iyo at hindi kapahamakan, habang nabubuhay si Yahweh.
Also, I will send a boy, saying to him, ‘Go and bring the arrows to me.’
22 Ngunit kung sasabihin ko sa binatang, 'Tingnan mo, nasa likod mo ang mga palaso,' kung ganoon humayo sa iyong pupuntahan, dahil pinaalis ka ni Yahweh.
If I will say to the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are before you, take them up,’ you shall approach before me, because there is peace for you, and there is nothing evil, as the Lord lives. But if I will have spoken to the boy in this way, ‘Behold, the arrows are away from you,’ then you shall go away in peace, for the Lord has released you.
23 Para naman sa usapang nagsalita ka at ako, tingnan mo, nasa pagitan natin si Yahweh magpakailanman.”'
Now about the word that you and I have spoken, may the Lord be between you and me, even forever.”
24 Kaya itinago ni David ang kanyang sarili sa bukirin. Noong dumating ang bagong buwan, umupo ang hari para kumain ng pagkain.
Therefore, David was hidden in the field. And the new moon came, and the king sat down to eat bread.
25 Umupo ang hari sa kanyang upuan, gaya ng dati, sa upuan sa may pader. Tumayo si Jonatan at umupo si Abner sa tabi ni Saul. Ngunit walang nakaupo sa lugar ni David.
And when the king had sat down on his chair, (according to custom) which was beside the wall, Jonathan rose up, and Abner sat beside Saul, and David’s place appeared empty.
26 Gayunman walang sinabing anumang bagay si Saul sa araw na iyon dahil inisip niyang, “May nangyari sa kanya. Hindi siya malinis; tiyak na hindi siya malinis.”
And Saul did not say anything on that day. For he was thinking that perhaps something happened to him, so that he was not clean, or not purified.
27 Ngunit sa ikalawang araw, ang araw matapos ang bagong buwan, walang nakaupo sa upuan ni David. Sinabi ni Saul sa kanyang anak na lalaking si Jonatan, “Bakit hindi dumating sa kainan ang anak na lalaki ni Jesse, maging kahapon o ngayon?”
And when the second day after the new moon had begun to dawn, David’s place again appeared empty. And Saul said to Jonathan, his son, “Why has the son of Jesse not arrived to eat, neither yesterday, nor today?”
28 Sumagot si Jonatan kay Saul, “taimtim na humingi ng pahintulot si David mula sa akin na makapunta sa Bethlehem.
And Jonathan responded to Saul, “He petitioned me earnestly that he might go to Bethlehem,
29 Sinabi niya, 'Pakiusap hayaan akong makaalis. Dahil may pag-aalay ang aming pamilya sa lungsod at inutusan ako ng aking kapatid na lalaki na pumaroon. Ngayon, kung nakasumpong ako ng pabor sa iyong paningin, pakiusap hayaan akong makaalis at makita ang aking mga kapatid na lalaki.' Sa kadahilanang ito hindi siya pumunta sa mesa ng hari.”
and he said: ‘Permit me. For there is a solemn sacrifice in the city. One of my brothers has summoned me. Now therefore, if I have found favor in your eyes, I will go quickly, and I will see my brothers.’ For this reason, he has not come to the table of the king.”
30 Pagkatapos nag-alab ang galit ni Saul laban kay Jonatan at sinabi niya sa kanya, “Ikaw na anak ng isang tampalasan, suwail na babae! Hindi ko ba alam na pinili mo ang anak na lalaki ni Jesse sa sarili mong kahihiyan at sa kahihiyan ng kahubaran ng iyong ina?
Then Saul, becoming angry against Jonathan, said to him: “You son of a woman wantonly seizing a man! Could I be ignorant that you love the son of Jesse, to your own shame, and to the shame of your disgraceful mother?
31 Dahil habang nabubuhay sa mundo ang anak na lalaki ni Jesse, hindi ikaw ni ang iyong kaharian ang maitatatag. Ngayon, ipadala mo siya at dalhin mo siya sa akin sapagkat tiyak na dapat siyang mamatay.”
For all the days that the son of Jesse moves upon earth, neither you, nor your kingdom, will be secure. And so, send and bring him to me, here and now. For he is a son of death.”
32 Sinagot ni Jonatan si Saul na kanyang ama, “Sa anong kadahilanan dapat siyang ipapatay? Ano ang kanyang nagawa?”
Then Jonathan, answering his father Saul, said: “Why should he die? What has he done?”
33 Pagkatapos hinagis ni Saul ang kanyang sibat upang patayin siya. Kaya alam ni Jonatan na gustong-gustong ipapatay ng kanyang ama si David.
And Saul picked up a lance, so that he might strike him. And Jonathan understood that it had been decided by his father that David be put to death.
34 Tumayo si Jonatan sa mesa na sobrang galit at hindi kumain ng pagkain sa ikalawang araw ng buwan dahil nagluksa siya para kay David dahil hindi siya ginalang ng kanyang ama.
Therefore, Jonathan rose up from the table in a rage of anger. And he did not eat bread on the second day after the new moon. For he was saddened over David, because his father had confounded him.
35 Kinaumagahan, lumabas si Jonatan papunta sa bukirin sa tipanan kay David at isang binata ang kasama niya.
And when the morning had begun to dawn, Jonathan went into the field according to the agreement with David, and a young boy was with him.
36 Sinabi niya sa kanyang binata, “Tumakbo ka at hanapin ang mga palasong ipinana ko.” At sa pagtakbo ng binata, pumana siya ng isang palaso sa unahan niya.
And he said to his boy, “Go, and bring to me the arrows that I shoot.” And when the boy had run, he shot another arrow away from the boy.
37 Nang dumating ang binata sa lugar kung saan nahulog ang palaso na pinana ni Jonatan, tinawag ni Jonatan ang binata at sinabing, “Hindi ba nasa unahan mo ang palaso?”
And so, the boy went to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot. And Jonathan cried out, from behind the back of boy, and said: “Behold, the arrow is there, farther away from you.”
38 At tinawag ni Jonatan ang binata, “Magmadali ka, bilisan mo, huwag kang tumigil!” Kaya tinipon ng binata ni Jonatan ang mga palaso at pumunta sa kanyang panginoon.
And Jonathan cried out again, from behind the back of the boy, saying, “Go quickly! Do not stand still!” Then Jonathan’s boy collected the arrows, and he brought them to his lord.
39 Ngunit walang alam ang binata sa anumang bagay. Tanging sina Jonatan at David ang nakakaalam ng bagay.
And he did not understand at all what was happening. For only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
40 Binigay ni Jonatan ang kanyang mga sandata sa kanyang binata at sinabi sa kanyang, “Humayo ka, dalhin ang mga ito sa lungsod.”
Then Jonathan gave his weapons to the boy, and he said to him, “Go, and carry them into the city.”
41 Pagkaalis na pagkaalis ng binata, tumayo si David mula sa likod ng isang tambak ng lupa, nagpatirapa sa lupa at yumuko ng tatlong beses. Hinalikan nila ang isa't-isa at magkasamang umiyak, na si David ang mas malakas ang pag-iyak.
And when the boy had gone away, David rose up from his place, which turned toward the south, and falling prone on the ground, he reverenced three times. And kissing one another, they wept together, but David more so.
42 Sinabi ni Jonatan kay David, “Humayo ka ng payapa, dahil pareho tayong nangako sa pangalan ni Yahweh at sinabing, 'Pumagitna nawa si Yahweh sa iyo at sa akin at sa pagitan ng aking mga kaapu-apuhan at iyong mga kaapu-apuhan, magpakailanman.'” Pagkatapos tumayo si David at umalis at bumalik si Jonatan sa lungsod.
Then Jonathan said to David: “Go in peace. And let us both keep all that we have ever sworn in the name of the Lord, saying, ‘May the Lord be between me and you, and between my offspring and your offspring, even forever.’” And David rose up and went away. But Jonathan entered into the city.
