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.

Then Samuel died, and all of Israel gathered together, and they mourned him. And they buried him at his house in Ramah. And David, rising up, descended to the desert 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.

Now there was a certain man in the wilderness of Maon, and his possessions were at Carmel. And this man was exceedingly great. And three thousand sheep, and one thousand goats were his. And it happened that he was shearing his sheep at 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 this man was Nabal. And the name of his wife was Abigail. And she was a very prudent and beautiful woman. But her husband was hard-hearted, and very wicked, and malicious. And he was of the stock of Caleb.

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

Therefore, when David, in the desert, had heard 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.

he sent ten young men, and he said to them: “Ascend to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name peacefully.

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 you shall say: ‘Peace be to my brothers and to you, and peace to your house, and peace to whatever you 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.

I have heard that your shepherds, who were with us in the desert, were shearing. We have never troubled them, nor was anything from the flock missing to them at any time, during the entire time that they have been with us 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.”'

Question your servants, and they will tell you. Now therefore, may your servants find favor in your eyes. For we have arrived on a good day. Whatever your hand will find, give it to your servants and to your 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 the servants of David had arrived, they spoke to Nabal all these words in the name of David. And then they were silent.

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.

But Nabal, responding to the servants of David, said: “Who is David? And who is the son of Jesse? Today, servants who are fleeing from their lords are increasing.

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?”

Therefore, shall I take my bread, and my water, and the meat of the cattle that I have slain for my shearers, and give it to men, when I do not know where they are from?”

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

And so the servants of David traveled back along their way. And returning, they went and reported to him all the words that he had said.

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.

Then David said to his servants, “Let each one gird his sword.” And each one girded his sword. And David also girded his sword. And about four hundred men followed David. But two hundred remained behind with the supplies.

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.

Then it was reported to Abigail, the wife of Nabal, by one of his servants, saying: “Behold, David has sent messengers from the desert, so that they might speak kindly to our lord. But he turned them away.

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.

These men were good enough to us, and were not troublesome. Neither did we ever lose anything, during the entire time that we conversed with them in the desert.

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, as much in the night as in the day, during all the days that we were with them, pasturing 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.”

For this reason, consider and realize what you should do. For evil has been decided against your husband and against your house. And he is a son of Belial, so that no one is able to 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.

And so Abigail hurried, and she took two hundred loaves, and two vessels of wine, and five cooked sheep, and five measures of cooked grain, and one hundred clusters of dried grapes, and two hundred masses of dried figs, and she set them upon 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 servants: “Go before me. Behold, I will follow after your back.” But she did not reveal it to 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 when she had climbed on a donkey, and was descending to the base of the mountain, David and his men were descending to meet 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.

And David said: “Truly, in vain have I preserved all that was his in the wilderness, so that nothing perished out of all that belonged to him. And he has repaid evil to me 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.”

May God do these things, by the enemies of David, and may he add these other things, if I leave behind until morning, out of all that belongs to him, anything that urinates against a wall.”

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.

Then, when Abigail had seen David, she hurried and descended from the donkey. And she fell upon her face before David, and she reverenced on 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 she said: “May this iniquity be upon me, my lord. I beg you, let your handmaid speak to your ears, and listen to the words of your servant.

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, the king, I beseech you, set his heart upon this iniquitous man, Nabal. For in accord with his name, he is senseless, and foolishness is with him. But I, your handmaid, did not see your servants, my lord, whom you had 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 your soul lives, and as the Lord lives, who has kept your hand to yourself, and has prevented you from coming to blood: now, let your enemies be like Nabal, and like all those who are seeking evil for my lord.

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.

Because of this, accept this blessing, which your handmaid has brought to you, my lord. And give it to the young men who follow you, 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 the iniquity of your handmaid. For the Lord will surely make for you, my lord, a faithful house, because you, my lord, fight the battles of the Lord. Therefore, let no evil be found in you all the days of your life.

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.

For if a man, at any time, will rise up, pursuing you and seeking your life, the life of my lord will be preserved, as if in the sheave of the living, with the Lord your God. But the lives of your enemies will be spun around, as if with the force of a whirling 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,

Therefore, when the Lord will have done for you, my lord, all the good that he has spoken about you, and when he will have appointed you as leader 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.”

this will not be for you a regret or a scruple of the heart, my lord, that you had shed innocent blood, or had taken revenge for yourself. And when the Lord will have done well for my lord, you shall remember your 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 is the Lord, the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me. And blessed is your eloquence.

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 are you, who prevented me today from going to blood, and from taking revenge for 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.”

But instead, as the Lord God of Israel lives, he has prevented me from doing evil to you. But if you had not come quickly to meet me, there would not have been left to Nabal by the morning light, anything that urinates against a wall.”

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.”

Then David received from her hand all that she had brought to him. And he said to her: “Go in peace to your own house. Behold, I have heeded your voice, and I have honored your face.”

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.

Then Abigail went to Nabal. And behold, he was holding a feast for himself in his house, like the feast of a king. And the heart of Nabal was cheerful. For he was greatly inebriated. And she did not reveal a word to him, small or great, until morning.

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.

Then, at first light, when Nabal had digested his wine, his wife revealed to him these words, and his heart died within himself, and he became like a stone.

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

And after ten days had passed, the Lord struck Nabal, and 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 had heard that Nabal was dead, he said: “Blessed is the Lord, who has judged the case of my reproach at the hand of Nabal, and who has preserved his servant from evil. And the Lord has repaid the malice of Nabal upon his own head.” Then David sent and he spoke with Abigail, so that he might take her to himself as 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 David’s servants went to Abigail at Carmel, and they spoke to her, saying, “David has sent us to you, so that he might take you to himself as 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 rising up, she reverenced prone on the ground, and she said, “Behold, let your servant be a handmaid, 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 rose up and hurried, and she climbed upon a donkey, and five girls went with her, her attendants. And she followed the messengers of David, and she became his wife.

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

Moreover, David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel. And both of them were his wives.

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

Then Saul gave his daughter Michal, the wife of David, to Palti, the son of Laish, who was from Gallim.
