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,

And it came to pass, when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, that, the Amalekites, had made a raid into the South, and into Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and burned 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 captive the women and all who were therein, from small even unto great, they had not put one to death, —but had driven them forth, and gone 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, lo! it was burnt with fire, —and, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, had been taken captive.

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

Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice, and wept, —until they had no more strength to weep.

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

And, the two wives of David, had been taken captive, —Ahinoam, the Jezreelitess, and Abigail, wife of Nabal the Carmelite.

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 in sore distress, for the people had spoken of stoning him, because the souls of all the people were embittered, every man for his own sons and for his own daughters, —but David emboldened himself in Yahweh 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.

Then said David to Abiathar the priest, son of Ahimelech, Do bring near me, I pray thee, the ephod. So Abiathar brought near the ephod, unto 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 enquired of Yahweh, saying, Shall I pursue this troop? shall I overtake it? And he said unto him: Pursue, for thou shalt, overtake, and thou shalt, rescue.

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, who were with him, and they came in as far as the ravine of Besor, —where, they who had to be left behind, stayed.

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, —but the two hundred men stayed, because they were too wearied to cross over the ravine of 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 took him unto David, —and gave him food, and he did eat, and they gave him 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.

and they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two cakes of raisins, and, when he had eaten, his spirit came back unto him, —for he had neither eaten food, 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.

Then David said to him—Whose art thou? and whence art thou? And he said, A young man of Egypt, am I, servant to an Amalekite, and my lord left me behind, because I fell 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.”

As for us, we invaded the South of the Cherithites, and against that which pertaineth unto Judah, and against the South of Caleb, —and, Ziklag, burned we 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 unto him, Wilt thou bring me down unto this troop? And he said—Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt not put me to death, neither wilt thou surrender me into the hand of my lord, and I will bring thee down unto this troop.

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.

So he brought him down, and lo! they were left to themselves over the face of all the land, —eating, and drinking, and dancing around, for all the great spoil which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.

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 smote them, from the closing twilight even unto the evening of the next day, —and there escaped not of them a man, save four hundred young men who rode upon camels, and fled.

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

And David rescued all whom the Amalekites had taken, —his two wives also, did David rescue;

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 to them—whether small or great, whether spoil, or sons or daughters, or, any thing which they had taken unto themselves, —the whole, did David recover.

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 David took all the flocks and the herds, —they drave them before those other cattle, and they said, This, is David’s spoil.

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 unto the two hundred men, who had been too wearied to follow David, and whom they had suffered to remain at the ravine of Besor, —and they came forth to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him, and when David came near unto the people, they enquired of his success.

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 responded every man who was bad and abandoned, from among the men who had been with David, and said—Because they went not with me there shall not be given them of the spoil that we have rescued, —save, to every man, his wife and his children, let them put them forth, then, and go.

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.

Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, —with that which Yahweh hath given to us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.

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.”

Who indeed, could hearken unto you, in this mutter? Surely, like the share of him that went down into the battle, even, so, shall be the share of him that remained by the stores—alike, shall they share.

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 so it came to pass, from that day forward, that he appointed it, for a statute and for a custom unto Israel, until this day.

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.”

And, when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil, unto the elders of Judah, unto his friends, saying, —Lo! for you, a blessing, out of the spoil of the enemies of Yahweh:

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

to them who were in Bethel, and to them who were in Ramoth of the South, and to them who were in Jattir,

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

and to them who were in Aroer, and to them who were in Siphmoth, and to them who were in Eshtemoa,

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 to them who were in Racal, and to them who were in the cities of the Jerameelites, and to them who were in the cities of the Kenites,

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

and to them who were in Hormah, and to them who were in Cor-ashan, and to them who 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 to them who were in Hebron, —and to all the places where David had been to and fro, he and his men.
