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.

And it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in 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.

it came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.

3 Kinuna ni David kenkuana, “Sadino ti naggapuam?” Simmungbat isuna, “Naglibasak manipud iti kampo ti Israel,”

And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.

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 unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, The people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.

5 Kinuna ni David iti agtutubo, “Kasanom nga ammo a natay da Saul ken Jonatan nga anakna?”

And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?

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 young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and the horsemen followed hard after him.

7 Kimmita Saul iti aglawlaw ket nakitanak ket inayabannak. Simmungbatak, 'Adtoyak.'

And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I.

8 Kinunana kaniak, 'Siasinoka?' Sinungbatak isuna, 'Maysaak nga Amalekita.'

And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered 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 unto me, Stand, I pray thee, beside me, and slay me, for anguish hath taken hold of me; because my life is yet whole 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.”

So I stood beside him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord.

11 Ket, pinisang ni David dagiti pagan-anayna, ken kasta met ti inaramid dagiti amin a lallaki a kaduana.

Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that 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 even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they were 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 unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.

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 unto him, How wast thou not afraid to put forth thine hand to destroy the LORD’S anointed?

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 David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that 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 unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD’S anointed.

17 Kalpasanna, kinanta ni David daytoy a dung-aw maipapan kada Saul ken Jonatan nga anakna.

And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:

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 bade them teach the children of Judah [the song of] the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jashar.

19 “Ti dayagmo, Israel, ket natayen, napapatay kadagiti bantaymo! Kasano a napasag ti maingel!

Thy glory, O Israel, is slain upon thy high places! how are the mighty 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.

Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.

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.

Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew nor rain upon you, neither fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, not 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 mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not 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 were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided; they were swifter than eagles, they were 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.

Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet delicately, who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel.

25 Anian a pannakapasag ti maingel iti paggugubatan! Napapatay ni Jonatan kadagiti nangangato a lugarmo.

How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is slain upon thy high places.

26 Maladigitanak unay para kenka Jonatan a kabsatko. Napategka unay kaniak. Nakaskasdaaw ti ayatmo kaniak, nalablabes ngem iti panagayat dagiti babbai.

I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.

27 Anian a pannakapasag ti maingel, ken ti pannakapukaw dagiti igam a panggubat!”

How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
