1 Samuel 30

1 At nangyari na nang bumalik sa Ziklag si David at ng kanyang mga tauhan sa ikatlong araw, na gumawa ng pagsalakay ang mga Amalekita sa Negev at sa Ziklag. Linusob nila ang Ziklag, sinunog ito,

Now when David and his men were come to Siceleg on the third day, the Amalecites had made an invasion on the south side upon Siceleg, and had smitten Siceleg, and burnt it with fire.

2 at binihag ang mga kababaihan at bawat isang naroroon, kapwa maliliit at malalaki. Wala silang pinatay, ngunit dinala sila habang papaalis sila.

And had taken the women captives that were in it, both little and great: and they had not killed any person, but had carried them with them, and went on their way.

3 Nang dumating sina David at ang kanyang mga tauhan sa lungsod, nasunog na ito—at binihag ang kanilang mga asawa, kanilang mga anak na lalaki, at kanilang mga anak na babae.

So when David and his men came to the city, and found it burnt with fire, and that their wives and their sons, and their daughters were taken captives,

4 Pagkatapos nagtaas ng boses sina David at mga taong kasama niya at umiyak sila hanggang wala na silang kakayahang umiyak.

David and the people that were with him, lifted up their voices, and wept till they had no more tears.

5 Binihag ang dalawang asawa ni David na sina Ahinoam na taga-Jezreel, at si Abigail na asawa ni Nabal na taga-Carmelo.

For the two wives also of David were taken captives, Achinoam the Jezrahelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal of Carmel.

6 Labis na namighati si David, sapagkat nag-uusap ang mga tao tungkol sa pagbato sa kanya, dahil ang mga espiritu ng lahat ng tao ay nagdadalamhati, bawat tao para sa kanyang mga anak na lalaki at mga anak na babae; subalit pinalakas ni David ang kanyang sarili kay Yahweh, na kanyang Diyos.

And David was greatly afflicted: for the people had a mind to stone him, for the soul of every man was bitterly grieved for his sons, and daughters: but David took courage in the Lord his God.

7 Sinabi ni David kay Abiathar na anak ni Ahimelec na pari, “Nagmamakaawa ako sa iyo, dalhin mo dito ang epod para sa akin.” Dinala ni Abiathar ang epod kay David.

And he said to Abiathar the priest the son of Achimelech: Bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought the ephod to David.

8 Nanalangin si David kay Yahweh ng gabay, sinasabing, “Kung tutugisin ko ang hukbong ito, maaabutan ko ba sila? Sumagot si Yahweh sa kanya, “Tugisin mo sila dahil tiyak na maaabutan mo sila, at tiyak na mababawi mo ang lahat.”

And David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I pursue after these robbers, and shall I overtake them, or not? And the Lord said to him: Pursue after them: for thou shalt surely overtake them and recover the prey.

9 Kaya umalis si David, siya at ang anim na raang tauhang kasama niya; nakarating sila sa batis Besor, kung saan nanatili ang mga lalaking naiwan.

So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and they came to the torrent Besor: and some being weary stayed there.

10 Ngunit patuloy si David sa pagtugis, siya at ang apat na raang tauhan; sapagkat dalawang daang tauhan ang naiwan na mahinang mahina na kaya hindi na makatawid sa batis ng Besor.

But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred stayed, who being weary could not go over the torrent Besor.

11 Natagpuan nila sa bukid ang isang taga-Ehipto at dinala kay David; binigyan nila ng tinapay, at kinain niya ito; binigyan nila ng tubig na maiinom;

And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David: and they gave him bread to eat, and water to drink,

12 at binigyan nila ng isang pirasong mamon na gawa sa igos at dalawang kumpol ng pasas. Nang nakakain na siya, bumalik na muli ang kanyang lakas, sapagkat hindi siya kumain ng tinapay ni uminom ng tubig sa loob ng tatlong araw at tatlong gabi.

As also a piece of a cake of figs, and two bunches of raisins. And when he had eaten them his spirit returned, and he was refreshed: for he had not eaten bread, nor drunk water three days, and three nights.

13 Sinabi ni David sa kanya, “Kanino ka nabibilang? Saan ka nagmula?” Sinabi niya, isa akong binata ng Ehipto, lingkod ng isang Amalekita; iniwan ako ng aking amo, dahil tatlong araw na ang nakakaraan nagkasakit ako.

And David said to him: To whom dost thou belong? or whence dost thou come? and whither art thou going? He said: I am a young man of Egypt, the servant of an Amalecite, and my master left me, because I began to be sick three days ago.

14 Gumawa kami ng pagsalakay sa Negev ng mga Chereteo, at kung ano ang nabibilang sa Juda, at sa Negev ng Caleb, at sinunog namin ang Ziklag.”

For we made an invasion on the south side of Cerethi, and upon Juda, and upon the south of Caleb, and we burnt Siceleg with fire.

15 Sinabi sa kanya ni David, “Maaari mo ba akong dalhin pababa sa mga pangkat na ito na sumalakay?” Sinabi ng taga-Ehipto, “Sumumpa ka sa akin sa Diyos na hindi mo ako papatayin o ipagkakanulo sa mga kamay ng aking panginoon, at dadalhin ko kayo pababa sa mga sumalakay na pangkat na ito.”

And David said to him: Canst thou bring me to this company? And he said: Swear to me by God, that thou wilt not kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee to this company. And David swore to him.

16 Nang dinala si David ang taga-Ehipto pababa, ang mga sumalakay ay nagkalat sa buong paligid, nagkakainan at nag-iinuman, at nagsasayawan, dahil sa lahat ng mga nanakaw nila mula sa lupain ng Filisteo at mula sa lupain ng Juda.

And when he had brought him, behold they were lying spread upon all the ground, eating and drinking, and as it were keeping a festival day, for all the prey, and the spoils which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Juda.

17 Nilusob sila ni David mula sa takip-silim hanggang sa gabi ng sumunod na araw. Wala ni isang lalaki ang nakatakas maliban sa apat na raang binatang sumakay sa mga kamelyo at tumakas.

And David slew them from the evening unto the evening of the next day, and there escaped not a man of them, but four hundred young men, who had gotten upon camels, and fled.

18 Nabawi ni David ang lahat ng kinuha ng mga Amalekita; at nailigtas ni David ang kanyang dalawang asawa.

So David recovered all that the Amalecites had taken, and he rescued his two wives.

19 Wala ni isang nawala, maging maliliit man ni malalaki, maging anak na mga lalaki ni anak na mga babae, maging ang nanakaw, ni anumang bagay na kinuha sa kanila ng mga sumalakay para sa kanilang sarili. Dinala ni David pabalik ang lahat.

And there was nothing missing small or great, neither of their sons or their daughters, nor of the spoils, and whatsoever they had taken: David recovered all.

20 Kinuha ni David ang lahat ng kanilang mga kawan at mga pangkat ng hayop, na itinaboy ng mga tauhan sa unahan ng ibang baka. Sinabi nila, “Ito ang nanakaw ni David.”

And he took all the flocks and the herds, and made them go before him: and they said: This is the prey of David.

21 Pumunta si David sa kanyang dalawandaang tauhang naiwan na mahinang mahina para sumunod sa kanya, iyong mga pinaiwan ng iba upang manatili sa batis Besor. Ang mga tauhang ito ang naunang pumunta para salubungin si David at mga taong kasama niya. Nang pumunta si David sa mga taong ito, binati niya sila.

And David came to the two hundred men, who being weary had stayed, and were not able to follow David, and he had ordered them to abide at the torrent Besor: and they came out to meet David, and the people that were with him. And David coming to the people saluted them peaceably.

22 Pagkatapos sinabi ng lahat ng masasamang lalaki at mga walang kabuluhang taong sumama kay David, “Dahil hindi sumama sa atin ang mga kalalakihang ito, hindi natin sila bibigyan ng anumang nanakaw na nabawi natin. Maliban na maaaring isama ng bawat lalaki ang kanyang asawa at mga anak, pangunahan sila palayo, at umalis.”

Then all the wicked and unjust men that had gone with David answering, said: Because they came not with us, we will not give them any thing of the prey which we have recovered: but let every man take his wife and his children, and be contented with them, and go his way.

23 Kaya sinabi ni David, “Hindi kayo dapat kumilos ng ganito sa mga ibinigay sa atin ni Yahweh, mga kapatid. Iningatan niya tayo at ibinigay sa ating kamay ang mga sumalakay laban sa atin.

But David said: You shall not do so, my brethren, with these things, which the Lord hath given us, who hath kept us, and hath delivered the robbers that invaded us into our hands.

24 Sinong makikinig sa inyo sa bagay na ito? Dahil gaya ng kabahagi ay para sa sinumang pumunta sa labanan, kaya ganundin ang kabahagi para sa sinumang nagbantay sa mga gamit; makikibahagi sila at magkakapareho bawat kabahagi.”

And no man shall hearken to you in this matter. But equal shall be the portion of him that went down to battle and of him that abode at the baggage, and they shall divide alike.

25 Naging ganoon na mula sa araw na iyon hanggang sa araw na ito, sapagkat ginawang batas iyon ni David at isang kautusan para sa Israel.

And this hath been done from that day forward, and since was made a statute, and an ordinance, and as a law in Israel.

26 Nang pumunta si David sa Ziklag ipinadala niya ang ilan sa mga nanakaw sa mga nakakatanda ng Juda, sa kanyang mga kaibigan, sinabing, “Tingnan ninyo, narito ang isang handog para sa inyo mula sa nanakaw mula sa mga kaaway ni Yahweh.”

Then David came to Siceleg, and sent presents of the prey to the ancients of Juda his neighbours, saying: Receive a blessing of the prey of the enemies of the Lord.

27 Sa mga nakakatanda na nasa Betuel, at sa mga nasa Ramot sa Timog, at sa mga nasa Jattir,

To them that were in Bethel, and that were in Ramoth to the south, and to them that were in Jether,

28 at sa mga nasa Aroer, at sa mga nasa Sifmot, at sa mga nasa Estemoa.

And to them that were in Aroer and that were in Sephamoth, and that were in Esthamo,

29 At ganun din sa mga nakakatandang nasa Racal, at sa mga nasa lungsod ng mga Jerahmeelita, at sa mga nasa siyudad ng mga Cineo,

And that were in Rachal, and that were in the cities of Jerameel, and that were in the cities of Ceni,

30 at sa mga nasa Horma, at sa mga nasa Borasan, at sa mga nasa Athac,

And that were in Arama, and that were in the lake Asan, and that were in Athach,

31 at sa mga nasa Hebron, at sa lahat ng lugar kung saan palaging pumupunta mismo si David at ng kanyang mga tauhan.

And that were in Hebron, and to the rest that were in those places, in which David had abode with his men.
