1 Samuel 25

1 Ngayon namatay na si Samuel. Sama-samang nagtipon ang lahat ng Israelita at nagluksa para sa kanya, at inilibing nila siya sa kanyang bahay sa Rama. Pagkatapos tumayo at bumaba si David sa desyerto ng Paran.

And Samuel died. And all Israel gathered themselves together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

2 Mayroong isang lalaki sa Maon, na may mga pag-aari sa Carmel. Napakayaman ng lalaki. Mayroon siyang tatlong libong tupa at isang libong kambing. Naggugupit siya ng kanyang tupa sa Carmel.

And there was a man in Maon whose possessions were in Carmel. And the man was very great in goods, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats. And he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.

3 Nabal ang pangalan ng lalaki, at ang pangalan ng kanyang asawa ay Abigail. Matalino at may kahali-halinang anyo ang babae. Pero malupit at masama ang lalaki sa kanyang pakikitungo. Isa siyang kaapu-apuhan sa sambahayan ni Caleb.

Now the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail. And the woman was of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance, but the man was churlish and evil in his doings, and he was of the house of Caleb.

4 Narinig ni David sa ilang na si Nabal ay naggugupit ng kanyang tupa.

And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.

5 Kaya nagpadala ng sampung kalalakihan si David. Sinabi ni David sa binatang kalalakihan. “Umakyat sa Carmel, pumunta kay Nabal, at batiin siya sa aking pangalan.

And David sent ten young men, and David said to the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.

6 Sasabihin ninyo sa kanya 'Mamuhay sa karangyaan. Kapayapaan para sa iyo at kapayapaan sa iyong bahay, at kapayapaan sa lahat ng mayroon ka.

And thus ye shall say to him who lives in prosperity, Peace be to thee, and peace be to thy house, and peace be to all that thou have.

7 Narinig ko na mayroon kang mga manggugupit. Nasa amin ang iyong mga pastol, at hindi namin sila sinaktan at walang nawala sa kanila sa buong panahon na sila ay nasa Carmel.

And now I have heard that thou have shearers. Thy shepherds have now been with us, and we did them no hurt, neither was there anything missing to them all the while they were in Carmel.

8 Tanungin ang iyong kabataang kalalakihan, at sasabihin nila sa iyo. Ngayon hayaang makasumpong ng biyaya ang binatang kalalakihan sa iyong mga mata, dahil pupunta kami sa araw ng isang pagdiriwang. Pakiusap magbigay ka anuman ang mayroon ka sa iyong kamay sa iyong mga lingkod at sa iyong anak na lalaking si David.”'

Ask thy young men, and they will tell thee. Therefore let the young men find favor in thine eyes, for we come in a good day. Give, I pray thee, whatever comes to thy hand to thy servants, and to thy son David.

9 Nang dumating ang mga kabataang kalalakihan ni David, sinabi nila itong lahat kay Nabal sa ngalan ni David at pagkatapos naghintay.

And when David's young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.

10 Sumagot si Nabal sa mga lingkod ni David, “Sino si David? At sino ang anak na lalaki ni Jesse? Maraming mga lingkod sa araw na ito ang sumusuway sa kanilang mga amo.

And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who is David? And who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants now-a-days who break away every man from his master.

11 Kailangan ko bang kunin ang aking tinapay, aking tubig at aking karne na kinatay ko para sa aking mga manggugupit at ibigay ito sa kalalakihang dumating mula sa hindi ko alam kung saan nanggaling?”

Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men of whom I know not from where they are?

12 Kaya umalis at bumalik ang kabataang kalalakihan ni David, at sinabi sa kanya ang lahat nang bagay na sinabi.

So David's young men turned on their way, and went back, and came and told him according to all these words.

13 Sinabi ni David sa kanyang tauhan, “Itali nang bawat lalaki ang kanyang espada.” At itinali ng bawat lalaki ang kanyang espada. Itinali rin ni David ang kanyang espada. Halos apat na daang kalalakihan ang sumunod kay David, at naiwan ang dalawang daan sa dala-dalahan.

And David said to his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword, and David also girded on his sword. And there went up after David about four hundred men, and two hundred abode by the baggage.

14 Pero sinabihan ng isa sa kabataang kalalakihan si Abigail, asawa ni Nabal; sinabi niya, “Nagpadala si David ng mga mensahero sa labas ng ilang upang batiin ang ating amo, at ininsulto niya sila.

But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master, and he railed at them.

15 Yamang napakabait ng kalalakihan sa atin. Hindi tayo sinaktan at walang anumang bagay na nawala sa atin hanggat kasama natin sila nang nasa mga bukirin tayo.

But the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, neither did we miss anything as long as we went with them when we were in the fields.

16 Isang pader sila sa atin sa araw man o sa gabi, kasama namin sila sa pagbabantay ng mga tupa.

They were a wall to us both by night and by day all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.

17 Samakatuwid alamin ito at isaalang-alang kung ano ang iyong magagawa, sapagka't may balak na kasamaan laban sa ating amo, at laban sa kanyang buong sambahayan. Siya ay napakasamang tao na walang isa na makapagdahilan sa kanya.”

Now therefore know and consider what thou will do, for evil is determined against our master, and against all his house. For he is such a worthless fellow that a man cannot speak to him.

18 Pagkatapos nagmadali si Abigail at kumuha ng dalawang daang tinapay, dalawang boteng alak, limang tupang nakahanda na, limang sukob ng sinangag na butil, isang daang tungkos ng pasas, at dalawang daang mamon ng igos at ikinarga ang mga ito sa mga asno.

Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched grain, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.

19 Sinabi niya sa kanyang kabataang kalalakihan, “Mauna kayo sa akin at susunod ako sa inyo.” Ngunit hindi niya sinabihan ang kanyang asawang si Nabal.

And she said to her young men, Go on before me, behold, I come after you. But she did not tell her husband Nabal.

20 Habang nakasakay siya sa kanyang asno at bumaba sa pamamagitan ng bundok, bumaba si David at kanyang tauhan papunta sa kanya at sinalubong niya sila.

And it was so, as she rode on her donkey, and came down by the covert of the mountain, that, behold, David and his men came down toward her, and she met them.

21 Ngayon sinabi ni David, “Tiyak na walang kabuluhan ang lahat ng pagbabantay ko sa lahat ng mayroon ang taong ito sa ilang, kaya wala ni isang nawawala na lahat ng nasa kanya, at ibinalik niya sa akin ang masama para sa mabuti.

Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness so that nothing was missed of all that pertained to him, and he has returned me evil for good.

22 Nawa gawin ng Diyos ito sa akin, David, at marami pa, kung sa umaga wala akong ititirang isang lalaki sa lahat na nasa kanya.”

God do so to the enemies of David, and more also, if I leave of all that pertains to him by the morning light so much as one man-child.

23 Nang nakita ni Abigail si David, nagmadali siyang bumaba mula sa kanyang asno at lumuhod sa harapan ni David at nagpatirapa sa kanyang sarili sa lupa.

And when Abigail saw David, she hastened, and alighted from her donkey, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground.

24 Lumuhod siya sa kanyang paa at sinabi, “Ako lang mag-isa, aking panginoon, na mayroong pagkakasala. Pakiusap hayaan mong kausapin ka ng iyong lingkod, at makinig sa mga salita ng iyong lingkod.

And she fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me be the iniquity, and let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine ears, and hear thou the words of thy handmaid.

25 Huwag mong hayaan aking panginoon na pansinin ang walang halangang taong ito, Nabal ang kanyang pangalan, at ang kahangalan ay nasa kanya. Ngunit ako na iyong lingkod ay hindi nakita ang kabataang kalalakihan ng aking panginoon, na iyong ipinadala.

Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this worthless fellow, even Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him. But I thy handmaid saw not the young men of my lord whom thou sent.

26 Pagkatapos ngayon, aking panginoon, habang nabubuhay si Yahweh, at habang nabubuhay ka, buhat ng pinigilan ka ni Yahweh mula sa pagdaloy ng dugo, at mula sa paghihiganti ng iyong sarili sa sariling mong kamay, ngayon hayaan mo ang iyong mga kaaway, at sa mga naghahanap gumawa ng kasamaan sa aking panginoon, ay magiging kagaya ni Nabal.

Now therefore, my lord, as Jehovah lives, and as thy soul lives, since Jehovah has withheld thee from blood guiltiness, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now therefore let thine enemies, and those who seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

27 At ngayon, hayaan sanang madala ng iyong lingkod ang regalong ito para sa aking panginoon, hayaang ibigay ito sa kabataang kalalakihan na sumunod sa aking panginoon.

And now this present which thy servant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.

28 Pakiusap patawarin ang pagkakasala ng iyong lingkod, dahil tiyak na gagawan ni Yahweh ang aking panginoon ng isang bahay, dahil nakikipaglaban ang aking panginoon sa labanan ni Yahweh, at hindi makikita ang kasamaan sa iyo habang nabubuhay ka.

Forgive, I pray thee, the trespass of thy handmaid. For Jehovah will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights the battles of Jehovah, and evil shall not be found in thee all thy days.

29 At kahit na tugisin ka ng mga kalalakihan para kunin ang iyong buhay, gayon pa man ang buhay ng aking panginoon ay matatali sa mga nabubuhay sa pamamagitan ni Yahweh na inyong Diyos, at aalisin niya ang mga buhay ng iyong mga kaaway, gaya ng nasa bulsa ng isang tirador.

And though men be risen up to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul, yet the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with Jehovah thy God. And the souls of thine enemies, them he shall sling out as from the hollow of a sling.

30 At mangyari ito, nang matapos gawin ni Yahweh ang lahat ng mabuting mga bagay para sa aking panginoon na kanyang ipinangako sa iyo, at nang ginawa ka niyang pinuno sa buong Israel,

And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee prince over Israel,

31 hindi magiging pahirap ang bagay na ito sa iyo, ni masasaktan ang aking panginoon, dahil hindi mo ibinuhos ang iyong dugo ng walang dahilan, at hindi mo ipinaghiganti ang iyong sarili. At kapag nagdala ng tagumpay si Yahweh sa aking panginoon, alalahanin mo ang iyong lingkod.”

that this shall be no grief to thee, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that thou have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. And when Jehovah shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thy handmaid.

32 Sinabi ni David kay Abigail, “Nawa si Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israel, na pinagpala, ang siyang nagpadala sa iyo upang makipagkita sa akin sa araw na ito.

And David said to Abigail, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me,

33 At ang iyong kaalaman ay pinagpala, at pinagpala ka, dahil pinanatili mo ako sa araw na ito mula sa pagkakasala sa pagdanak ng dugo at mula sa paghihiganti ko para sa aking sariling gamit ang aking kamay.

and blessed be thy discretion, and blessed be thou, who have kept me this day from blood guiltiness, and from avenging myself with my own hand.

34 Para sa katotohanan, ayon kay Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israelm ma nabubuhay, na pinigilan ako na saktan ka, maliban lamang kung nagmadali ka para makipagkita sa akin, tiyak na walang matitira kay Nabal kahit isang sanggol na lalaki kinaumagahan.”

For in very deed, as Jehovah, the God of Israel, lives, who has withheld me from hurting thee, unless thou had hastened and come to meet me, surely there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light so much as one man-child.

35 Kaya tinanggap ni David mula sa kanyang kamay kung ano ang kanyang dinala sa kanya, sinabi niya sa kanya, “Umakyat ka ng may kapayapaan sa iyong bahay; tingnan mo, nakinig ako sa iyong boses at tinanggap kita.”

So David received from her hand that which she had brought him. And he said to her, Go up in peace to thy house. See, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.

36 Bumalik si Abigail kay Nabal; masdan mo, siya ay nagdadaos ng isang pagdiriwang sa kanyang bahay, tulad ng pagdiriwang ng isang hari; at maligaya ang puso ni Nabal sa kalooban niya, dahil lasing na lasing siya. Kaya hindi niya sinabi ang lahat hanggang sa magbukang-liwayway.

And Abigail came to Nabal, and, behold, he held a feast in his house like the feast of a king. And Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk. Therefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.

37 At nangyari kinaumagahan, nang hindi na lasing si Nabal, na sinabi ng kanyang asawa sa kanya ang mga bagay na ito, inatake siya sa puso, at naging tulad siya ng isang bato.

And it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.

38 At dumating matapos ang sampung araw na sinalakay ni Yahweh si Nabal kaya namatay siya.

And it came to pass about ten days after, that Jehovah smote Nabal, so that he died.

39 At nang narinig ni David na namatay na si Nabal, sinabi niya, “Nawa pagpalain si Yahweh, na siyang kumuha ng dahilan ng pang-iinsulto sa akin mula sa kamay ni Nabal, at sa pag-iingat ng kanyang lingkod mula sa kasamaan. At ibinalik niya ang masamang kilos ni Nabal sa kanyang sarili.” Pagkatapos nagpadala si David ng mga lingkod at kinausap si Abigail, para kunin siya bilang kaniyang asawa.

And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be Jehovah, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil, and the evil-doing of Nabal Jehovah has returned upon his own head. And David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to him to wife.

40 Nang dumating ang mga lingkod ni David kay Abigail sa Carmel, nakipag-usap sila sa kanya at sinabi, “Ipinadala kami ni David sa iyo upang kunin ka para sa kaniya bilang kanyang asawa.”

And when the servants of David came to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, David has sent us to thee, to take thee to him to wife.

41 Tumayo siya, niyuko ang kanyang sarili kasama ang kanyang mukha sa lupa, at sinabi, “Tingnan ninyo, ang iyong lingkod na babae ay isang lingkod para maghugas ng mga paa ng mga lingkod ng aking panginoon.”

And she arose, and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said, Behold, thy handmaid is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.

42 Nagmadali si Abigail at tumayo, at sumakay sa isang asno na may limang lingkod na babae na sumunod sa kanya, at sumunod siya sa mga mensahero ni David at naging kanyang asawa.

And Abigail hastened, and arose, and rode upon a donkey, with five of her damsels who followed her. And she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.

43 Kinuha rin ni David si Ahinoam ng Jezreel bilang isang asawa, kapwa sila ay naging kanyang mga asawa.

David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel, and they became his wives, both of them.

44 Ngayon ibinigay ni Saul si Mical na kanyang anak na babae, asawa ni David, kay Palti anak ni Lais, na nasa Gallim.

Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
