II Samuel 1
1 Kalpasan ti pannakatay ni Saul, nagsubli ni David manipud iti panangrautna kadagiti Amalekita ket nagtalinaed isuna iti dua nga aldaw idiay Siklag.
Now it happened that, after Saul died, David returned from the slaughter of Amalek, and he remained for two days at Ziklag.
2 Iti maikatlo nga aldaw, adda maysa a lalaki a simmangpet manipud iti kampo ni Saul a napisang ti badona ken adda rugit iti ulona. Idi simmangpet isuna iti ayan ni David, ket nagpakleb isuna iti daga.
Then, on the third day, a man appeared, arriving from the camp of Saul, with his garments torn and dust sprinkled on his head. And when he came to David, he fell on his face, and he reverenced.
3 Kinuna ni David kenkuana, “Sadino ti naggapuam?” Simmungbat isuna, “Naglibasak manipud iti kampo ti Israel,”
And David said to him, “Where have you come from?” And he said to him, “I have fled from the camp of Israel.”
4 Kinuna ni David kenkuana, “Pangngaasim ta ibagam kaniak no ania ti napasamak.” Simmungbat isuna, “Naglibas dagiti tattao manipud iti gubat. Adu ti napasag ken adu dagiti natay. Natay met da Saul kenni Jonatan nga anakna.”
And David said to him: “What is the word that has happened? Reveal it to me.” And he said: “The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people have fallen and died. Moreover, Saul and his son Jonathan have passed away.”
5 Kinuna ni David iti agtutubo, “Kasanom nga ammo a natay da Saul ken Jonatan nga anakna?”
And David said to the youth who was reporting to him, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan have died?”
6 Simmungbat ti agtutubo, “Nairana nga addaak idiay bantay Gilboa, ket adda sadiay ni Saul nga agsadsadag iti gayangna, ket asidegen dagiti karwahe ken kumakabalio a kabusor a mangtiliw kenkuana.
And the youth, who was reporting it to him, said: “I arrived by chance on mount Gilboa. And Saul was lying upon his spear. Then the chariots and horsemen drew near to him.
7 Kimmita Saul iti aglawlaw ket nakitanak ket inayabannak. Simmungbatak, 'Adtoyak.'
And turning behind his back and seeing me, he called to me. And when I had responded, “I am here,”
8 Kinunana kaniak, 'Siasinoka?' Sinungbatak isuna, 'Maysaak nga Amalekita.'
he said to me, “Who are you?” And I said to him, “I am an Amalekite.”
9 Kinunana kaniak, 'Pangngaasim ta umasidegka kaniak ket patayennak, ta tengngelnak ti nakaro a panagsagaba, ngem sibibiagak pay laeng.'
And he said to me: “Stand over me, and kill me. For anguish has taken hold of me, and still my whole life is in me.”
10 Isu nga imasidegak kenkuana ket pinatayko isuna, gapu ta ammok a saanen nga agbiag kalpasan a mapasag isuna. Ket innalak ti korona nga adda iti ulona ken ti pulseras nga adda iti takkiagna, ket inyegko dagitoy ditoy kenka, apok.”
And standing over him, I killed him. For I knew that he was not able to live after the fall. And I took the diadem that was on his head, and the bracelet from his arm, and I have brought them here to you, my lord.”
11 Ket, pinisang ni David dagiti pagan-anayna, ken kasta met ti inaramid dagiti amin a lallaki a kaduana.
Then David, taking hold of his garments, tore them, with all the men who were with him.
12 Nagladingit, nagsangit ken nagayunarda agingga iti rabii para kenni Saul, para kenni Jonatan nga anakna, para kadagiti tattao ni Yahweh ken para iti balay ti Israel gapu ta napasagda babaen iti kampilan.
And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening, over Saul and over his son Jonathan, and over the people of the Lord and over the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
13 Kinuna ni David iti agtutubo, “Taga-anoka?” Simmungbat isuna, “Anaknak ti maysa a ganggannaet iti daytoy a daga, maysaak nga Amalekita.”
And David said to the youth who had reported it to him, “Where are you from?” And he responded, “I am the son of a man who is a new arrival from the Amalekites.”
14 Kinuna ni David kenkuana, “Apay a saanka a nagbuteng a nangpatay iti ari a pinulotan ni Yahweh babaen iti bukodmo nga ima?”
And David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to put forth your hand, so that you would kill the Christ of the Lord?”
15 Inayaban ni David iti maysa kadagiti agtutubo ket kinunana “Inka ket patayen isuna.” Isu a napan dinuyok dayta a lalaki ti Amalekita, ket natay ti Amalekita.
And calling one of his servants, David said, “Draw near and rush against him” And he struck him, and he died.
16 Ket kinuna ni David iti natay nga Amalekita, adda iti ulom ti bukodmo a dara gapu ta ti bukodmo a ngiwat ti nangpaneknek iti maibusor kenka ket kinunam, 'Pinatayko ti ari a pinulotan ni Yahweh.'”
And David said to him: “Your blood is upon your own head. For your own mouth has spoken against you, saying: ‘I have killed the Christ of the Lord.’”
17 Kalpasanna, kinanta ni David daytoy a dung-aw maipapan kada Saul ken Jonatan nga anakna.
Then David mourned a lamentation over Saul and over his son Jonathan, in this way.
18 Imbilinna kadagiti tattao nga isuroda daytoy a Kanta ti Bai kadagiti lallaki a putot ti Juda, a naisurat iti Libro ti Jasar.
(And he instructed that they should teach the sons of Judah the bow, just as it is written in the Book of the Just.) And he said: “Consider, O Israel, on behalf of those who are dead, wounded upon your heights:
19 “Ti dayagmo, Israel, ket natayen, napapatay kadagiti bantaymo! Kasano a napasag ti maingel!
The illustrious of Israel have been killed upon your mountains. How could the valiant have fallen?
20 Saanmo nga ibagbaga daytoy idiay Gat, saanmo nga iwarwaragawag daytoy kadagiti kalsada iti Askelon, tapno saan a makapagrag-o dagiti babbai a putot dagiti Filisteo, tapno saan a makapagrambak dagiti babbai a putot dagiti saan a nakugit.
Do not choose to announce it in Gath, and do not announce it in the crossroads of Ashkelon. Otherwise, the daughters of the Philistines may rejoice; otherwise, the daughters of the uncircumcised may exult.
21 Banbantay ti Gilboa, awan koma kadakayo ti linnaaw wenno tudo, wenno talon a mangmangted kadagiti bukbukel nga aggpaay a daton, ta sadiay ket narugitan ti kalasag ti maingel. Ti kalasag ni Saul a saanen a napulotan iti lana.
O mountains of Gilboa, let neither dew, nor rain fall over you, and may these not be the fields of the first-fruits. For in that place, the shield of the valiant was cast away, the shield of Saul, as if he had not been anointed with oil.
22 Manipud iti dara dagidiay napapatay, manipud kadagiti bagi dagiti maingel, saanen a nagsubli ti bai ni Jonatan, ken saan a nagsubli nga awan naaramidan ti kampilan ni Saul.
From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the strong, the arrow of Jonathan never turned back, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.
23 Ni Saul ken Jonatan ket maay-ayat ken managparabur iti panagbiag, ken iti ipapatayda ket saanda a nagsina. Nasigsiglatda ngem kadagiti agila, napigpigsada ngem kadagiti leon.
Saul and Jonathan, worthy to be loved, and stately in their life: even in death they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.
24 Dakayo a babbai nga annak ti Israel, sangitanyo ni Saul, a nangkawes kadakayo iti napintas nga eskarlata, a nangarkos iti balitok kadagiti pagan-anaayyo.
O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you with scarlet finery, who offered ornaments of gold for your adornment.
25 Anian a pannakapasag ti maingel iti paggugubatan! Napapatay ni Jonatan kadagiti nangangato a lugarmo.
How could the valiant have fallen in battle? How could Jonathan have been slain on the heights?
26 Maladigitanak unay para kenka Jonatan a kabsatko. Napategka unay kaniak. Nakaskasdaaw ti ayatmo kaniak, nalablabes ngem iti panagayat dagiti babbai.
I grieve over you, my brother Jonathan: exceedingly stately, and worthy to be loved above the love of women. As a mother loves her only son, so also did I love you.
27 Anian a pannakapasag ti maingel, ken ti pannakapukaw dagiti igam a panggubat!”
How could the robust have fallen, and the weapons of war have perished?”
