1 Samuel 26

1 Dumating ang mga Zipiteo kay Saul sa Gibea at sinabing, “Hindi ba nagtatago si David sa burol ng Hacila, na bago ang desyerto?”

And the Ziphites came unto Saul in Gibeah, saying, —Is not David hiding himself in the hill of Hachilah, overlooking Jeshimon?

2 Pagkatapos tumayo si Saul at bumaba sa ilang ng Zip, na may tatlong libong piling kalalakihan ng Israel na kasama niya, upang hanapin si David sa desyerto ng Zip.

Then Saul arose, and went down into the wilderness of Ziph, and, with him, three thousand chosen men of Israel, —to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.

3 Nagkampo si Saul sa burol ng Hacila, na bago sa desyerto, na malapit sa daanan. Ngunit si David ay nanatili sa desyerto, at nakita niya na paparating si Saul kasunod niya sa desyerto.

And Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which overlooketh Jeshimon, by the way, —but, David, was staying in the wilderness, so he saw that Saul was coming after him into the wilderness.

4 Kaya nagpadala si David ng mga espiya at napag-alaman niyang totoong dumating si Saul.

David therefore sent runners, —and took knowledge that Saul had come, for a certainty.

5 Tumayo si David at pumunta sa lugar kung saan nagkampo si Saul; nakita niya ang lugar kung saan nagpapahinga si Saul, at si Abner anak na lalaki ni Ner, ang heneral ng kanyang hukbo; Nagpapahinga si Saul sa kampo, at nagkampo ang mga tao palibot sa kanya, natutulog ang lahat.

So then David arose, and came to the place where Saul had encamped, and David saw the place where Saul was lying, with Abner, son of Ner, prince of his host, —and, Saul, was lying within the circular trench, with, the people, encamped round about him.

6 Pagkatapos sinabi ni David kay Ahimelec na Hiteo, at kay Abisai anak na lalaki ni Zeruia, ang lalaking kapatid ni Joab, “Sino ang sasama sa akin pababa sa kampo ni Saul?” sinabi ni Abisai, “Sasama ako pababa sa iyo.”

And David responded, and said unto Ahimelech the Hittite, and unto Abishai son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, saying, Who will go down with me unto Saul, within the camp? And Abishai said, I, will go down with thee.

7 Kaya pumunta si David at Abisai sa hukbo nang gabi. At nandoon si Saul na natutulog sa loob ng kampo, kasama ang kanyang sibat na nakatusok sa lupa sa tabi ng kanyang ulo. Nagpapahinga si Abner at kanyang mga sundalo sa palibot niya.

So David came, with Abishai, unto the people by night, and lo! Saul lying asleep, within the trench, and his spear stuck in the ground, at his head, —and Abner and the people lying round about him.

8 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Abisai kay David, “Sa araw na ito inilagay ng Diyos sa iyong kamay ang iyong kaaway. Ngayon pakiusap hayaan mong itusok ko siya sa lupa sa pamamagitan ng sibat sa isang bagsak lamang. Hindi ko siya hahampasin ng pangalawang pagkakataon.”

Then said Abishai unto David, God hath surrendered, to-day, thine enemy, into thy hand: Now, therefore, let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear to the earth, at one stroke, I, will not do it twice.

9 Sinabi ni David kay Abisai, “Huwag mo siyang patayin, sapagkat sino ang mag-aabot ng kanyang kamay laban sa hinirang ni Yahweh at hindi magkakasala?”

But David said unto Abishai, Do not destroy him, —for who that hath thrust forth his hand against the Anointed of Yahweh, shall be guiltless?

10 Sinabi ni David, “Habang nabubuhay si Yahweh, papatayin siya ni Yahweh, o darating ang araw na mamamatay siya, o pupunta siya sa labanan at mamamatay.

And David said—By the life of Yahweh, surely, Yahweh himself, must smite him, —or, his day, must come that he die, or, into battle, must he go down, and be swept away.

11 Nawa'y ipagbawal ni Yahweh na dapat kong iunat ang aking kamay laban sa kanyang tinalaga, kaya ngayon, kunin mo ang sibat na nasa kanyang ulo at ang banga ng tubig, at umalis na tayo.”

Far be it from me, of Yahweh, that I should thrust forth my hand against the anointed of Yahweh! Now, therefore, take, I pray thee, the spear that is at his head, and the cruse of water, and let us go our way.

12 Kaya kinuha ni David ang sibat at ang banga ng tubig mula sa ulo ni Saul at umalis na sila. Walang ni isang nakakita sa kanila o nakaalam tungkol dito, ni isang tao ang nagising, dahil nakatulog silang lahat, dahil mahimbing na pagtulog ang ibinigay ni Yahweh sa kanila.

So David took the spear, and the cruse of water, from near the head of Saul, and they went their way, —and no man saw, and no man knew, and no man awoke, for all of them were sleeping, for, a deep sleep from Yahweh, had fallen upon them.

13 Pagkatapos pumunta si David sa kabilang dako at tumayo sa tuktok ng bundok sa malayo, isang malayong pagitan ang nasa kanila.

Then David crossed over to the other side, and took his stand on the top of the mountain, afar off, —a great space, being between them.

14 Sumigaw si David sa mga tao at kay Abner anak na lalaki ni Ner, sinabi niya, “Hindi ka ba sasagot, Abner?” Pagkatapos sumagot at sinabi ni Abner, “Sino kang sumisigaw sa hari?”

And David cried aloud unto the people, and unto Abner son of Ner, saying, Wilt thou not answer, Abner? Then answered Abner, and said, Who art thou, that hast cried aloud unto the king?

15 Sinabi ni David kay Abner, “Hindi ka ba isang taong matapang? Sino ang katulad mo sa Israel? Bakit hindi ka nagbantay sa iyong panginoon na hari? Dahil may ibang taong dumating upang patayin ang hari na iyong panginoon.

And David said unto Abner—Art not thou, a man? Who indeed is like thee, in Israel? Wherefore, then, hast thou not kept watch over thy lord, the king? For one of the people hath entered, to destroy the king—thy lord.

16 Hindi maganda ang bagay na ito na iyong ginawa. Habang nabubuhay si Yahweh, nararapat kang mamatay dahil hindi mo binantayan ang iyong panginoon na hinirang ni Yahweh. At ngayon tingnan mo kung nasaan ang sibat ng hari, at ang banga ng tubig na nasa kanyang ulonan.”

Not good, is this thing which thou hast done, by the life of Yahweh, verily, worthy of death, ye are, in that ye have not kept watch over your lord, over, the Anointed of Yahweh. Now, therefore, see where the spear of the king is, and the cruse of water, that was at his head?

17 Nakilala ni Saul ang boses ni David at sinabi, “Boses mo ba iyan, anak kong David?” sinabi ni David, “Ito ang aking boses, aking panginoong hari.”

And Saul knew the voice of David, and said—Thy voice, is this, my son David? And David said, My voice, my lord O king!

18 Sinabi niya, “Bakit tinutugis ng hari ang kanyang lingkod? Ano ang aking nagawa? Anong kasamaan ang nasa aking kamay?

And he said, Wherefore is it, that my lord is in pursuit of his servant? For what have I done? or what is in my hand that is wrong?

19 Samakatuwid ngayon, nagmakaawa ako sa iyo, hayaang pakinggan ng aking panginoon na hari ang mga salita ng kanyang lingkod. Kung si Yahweh na nag-udyok sa iyo laban sa akin, hayaan siyang tumanggap ng isang handog; ngunit kung mga tao ito, nawa'y isumpa sila sa paningin ni Yahweh, dahil sa araw na ito inilayo nila ako, na hindi dapat ako kumapit sa pamana ni Yahweh, na kanilang sinabi sa akin, “Sumamba ka sa ibang mga diyos.”

Now, therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant, —If, Yahweh, have goaded thee on against me, let him accept the sweet smell of a gift, but, if the sons of men, accursed, they are before Yahweh, for they have driven me out, to-day, from joining myself with the inheritance of Yahweh, saying—Go, serve other gods!

20 Samakatuwid ngayon, huwag hayaang dumanak ang aking dugo sa lupa mula sa presensya ni Yahweh, para sa hari ng Israel na dumating at humanap sa isang pulgas, bilang isang naghahanap ng ibon sa mga bundok.”

Now, therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth, away from the presence of Yahweh, —for the king of Israel hath come out to hunt for a single flea, as when one pursueth a partridge among the mountains.

21 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Saul, “Nagkasala ako. Bumalik ka, David, anak ko, hindi na kita kailanman sasaktan, dahil natatangi ang aking buhay sa iyong mga mata ngayon. Tingnan mo, naging mangmang ako at lubusang nagkamali.”

Then said Saul—I have sinned, Return, my son David, for I will harm thee no more, because my life was precious in thine eyes, this day, —lo! I have acted foolishly and, greatly, erred.

22 Sumagot si David at sinabi, “Tingnan mo, aking hari, narito ang iyong sibat! Hayaan mong lumapit ang isa sa iyong batang kalalakihan at kunin ito at dalhin ito sa iyo.

And David responded, and said, Lo! the spear of the king! Let, therefore, one of the young men come over, and fetch it.

23 Nawa pagbayarin ni Yahweh ang bawat tao para sa kanyang kadakilaan at kanyang katapatan, dahil inilagay ito ni Yahweh sa araw na ito, ngunit hindi ko sasaktan ang kanyang tinalaga.

And let, Yahweh, give back to each man, his righteousness, and his faithfulness, —in that Yahweh delivered thee, to-day, into my hand, but I would not thrust forth my hand against the Anointed of Yahweh.

24 At tingnan mo, tulad ng buhay mong katangi-tangi sa aking mga mata sa araw na ito, kaya nawa maging mas mahalaga ang buhay ko sa mga mata ni Yahweh, at nawa iligtas niya ako mula sa lahat ng kaguluhan.”

Lo! then, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so, let my life be much set by in the eyes of Yahweh, and let him rescue me out of all tribulation.

25 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Saul kay David, “Nawa pagpalain ka, anak kong David, upang makagawa ka ng mga dakilang bagay, at tunay na magtatagumpay ka.” Kaya lumakad si David, at bumalik si Saul sa kanyang lugar.

Then said Saul unto David—Blessed, be thou, my son David, thou shalt both, do, and shalt, prevail. And David went on his way, but, Saul, returned unto his own place.
