2 Samuel 1
1 Human sa kamatayon ni Saul, mibalik si David gikan sa iyang pagsulong sa mga Amalekanhon ug nagpabilin sa Siklag sulod sa duha ka adlaw.
After Saul died, David [and the men who were with him] returned to Ziklag [town] after defeating the descendants of Amalek. They stayed in Ziklag for two days.
2 Sa ikatulo nga adlaw, miabot ang usa ka tawo nga gikan sa kampo ni Saul nga gisi ang mga bisti ug nagkahugaw ang iyang ulo. Sa dihang miabot siya kang David mihapa siya sa yuta ug hilabihan gayod ang iyang gibating kasubo.
On the third day, unexpectedly a man arrived there who had come from where Saul’s army was camped. He had torn his clothes and put dust on his head [to show that he was grieving]. He came to David, and prostrated himself on the ground [in front of David to show respect for him].
3 Miingon si David kaniya, “Asa ka man gikan?” Mitubag siya, “Mikagiw ako gikan sa kampo sa Israel.”
David asked him, “Where have you come from?” The man replied, “I escaped from where the Israeli army had been camped.”
4 Miingon si David kaniya, “Palihog sultihi ako kong unsa ang mga panghitabo.” Mitubag siya, “Mikalagiw ang mga katawhan gikan sa gubat. Daghan ang nangalaglag ug daghan usab ang nangamatay. Namatay usab si Saul ug ang iyang anak nga lalaki nga si Jonatan.”
David asked him, “What happened? Tell me [about the battle]!” The man replied, “The Israeli soldiers ran away from the battle. Many of them were killed. And Saul and his son Jonathan (are dead/were also killed).”
5 Miingon si David ngadto sa batan-ong lalaki, “Giunsa mo man pagkahibalo nga patay na si Saul ug ang iyang anak nga lalaki nga si Jonatan?”
David said to the young man, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”
6 Mitubag ang batan-ong lalaki, “Nahiatol nga didto ako sa bukid sa Gilboa, ug didto si Saul nagsandig sa iyang bangkaw, ug ang mga karwahe ug ang mga nagsakay niini nagpadulong aron sa pagdakop kaniya.
The young man replied, “It happened that I was on Gilboa Mountain [where the battle occurred], and I saw Saul, leaning on his spear. The [enemy] chariots and their drivers had come very close to Saul.
7 Milingi si Saul ug nakita niya ako busa gitawag niya ako. Mitubag ako, “Ania ako.”
Saul turned around and saw me, and he called out to me. I answered him and said, ‘What do you want me to do?’
8 Miingon si Saul kanako, 'Kinsa ka man?' Mitubag ako kaniya, “Usa ako ka Amalekanhon.'
He replied, ‘Who are you?’ I replied, ‘I am a descendant of Amalek.’
9 Miingon si Saul kanako, 'Palihog tindog duol kanako ug patya ako, tungod kay hilabihan na gayod ang akong pag-antos, apan nagpabilin pa gihapon ang akong kinabuhi.'
Then he said to me, ‘Come over here and kill me. I am still alive, but I am enduring a lot of pain.’
10 Busa mitindog ako sa iyang duol ug gipatay ko siya, kay nasayod ako nga dili na gayod siya mabuhi human siya mahagba. Unya gikuha ko ang korona nga anaa sa iyang ulo ug ang higot nga anaa sa iyang bukton, ug gidala ko kini dinhi alang kanimo, akong agalon.”
So I went to him and killed him, because I knew that he was wounded very badly and would (not continue to live/soon die). I took the crown that was on his head and the band/bracelet that was on his arm, and I have brought them to you.”
11 Unya gigisi ni David ang iyang mga bisti, ug ang tanang kasundalohan nga uban kaniya nagbuhat sa samang paagi.
Then David and all the men who were with him tore their clothes [to show that they were very sad].
12 Nagsubo sila, nanghilak, ug nagpuasa hangtod sa pagkagabii alang kang Saul, sa iyang anak nga lalaki nga si Jonatan, sa mga katawhan ni Yahweh, ug sa panimalay sa Israel tungod kay nangalaglag sila pinaagi sa espada.
They mourned for Saul and his son Jonathan, and they cried and (fasted/abstained from eating food) until it was evening. They also mourned for all the army of Yahweh, and for all the Israeli people, because many of their soldiers had been killed in the battle [MTY].
13 Miingon si David sa batan-ong lalaki, “Unsa man ang imong kagikan?” Mitubag ang tawo, “Anak ako sa langyaw sa maong yuta, nga Amalekanhon.”
Then David asked the young man who had told him [about the battle], “Where are you from?” He replied, “My father is a descendant of Amalek, but we live in Israel.”
14 Miingon si David kaniya, “Nganong wala ka man mahadlok sa pagpatay sa dinihogang hari ni Yahweh pinaagi sa imong kaugalingong kamot?”
David asked him, “(Why were you not afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king]?/You should have been afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king].) [RHQ]
15 Gitawag ni David ang usa sa mga batan-ong lalaki ug giingnan, “Lakaw ug patya siya.” Busa miadto ang lalaki ug gipatay niya kini, ug namatay ang Amalekanhon.
You yourself said, ‘I killed the man whom Yahweh appointed to be the king.’ So you have caused yourself to be guilty [MTY] of causing your own death!” Then David summoned one of his soldiers and said to him, “Kill him!” So the soldier killed him by striking him [with a sword].
16 Unya miingon si David ngadto sa patay nga Amalekanhon, “Ang imong dugo anaa sa imong ulo tungod kay ang imong kaugalingong baba nagpamatuod batok kanimo ug miingon, 'Akong gipatay ang dinihogang hari ni Yahweh.'”
17 Unya giawit ni David kining alawiton nga alang sa patay mahitungod kang Saul ug sa iyang anak nga lalaki nga si Jonatan.
Then David composed/wrote this sad song about Saul and Jonathan,
18 Gisugo niya ang katawhan nga itudlo kanila ang Alawiton sa Pana ngadto sa mga anak ni Juda, nga nahisulat sa Libro ni Jasar.
and he commanded that it be taught to the people of Judah. [The song is called] ‘The Bow [and Arrow]’ and it has been written in the Book of Jashar:
19 “Ang imong himaya, Israel, patay na, gipatay diha sa imong taas nga mga dapit! Giunsa man pagkalaglag sa kusgan!
“You Israeli people, your glorious [MTY] leaders have been killed on the mountains! [It is very sad that] those mighty men have died!
20 Ayaw kini isulti ngadto sa Gat, ayaw kini ibutyag sa kadalanan sa Askelon, aron nga dili magmaya ang anak nga mga babaye sa mga Filistihanon, aron nga dili magsaulog ang mga anak nga babaye sa mga dili tinuli.
“Do not tell it [to our enemies in the Philistia area]; do not tell to the people who live in Gath [city] what happened; do not proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon [city], because if you tell them, [even] the women in that area will be happy; do not allow those (pagan women/women who do not know God) to rejoice.
21 Sa kabungtoran sa Gilboa, unta walay yamog o ulan didto, bisan ang kayutaan dili maghatag ug trigo alang sa mga halad, kay didto nahugawan ang taming sa mga kusgan. Wala na madihogi ug lana ang taming ni Saul.
I hope/desire that there will be no rain or dew on the mountains of [the] Gilboa [area] [APO], and that no grain will grow in the fields there, because there the shield of Saul, the mighty [king], fell on the ground. No one rubbed [olive] oil on Saul’s shield;
22 Gikan sa dugo sa mga tawong nangamatay, gikan sa lawas sa mga kusgan, wala na mabalik ang pana ni Jonatan, ug wala mabalik nga haw-ang ang espada ni Saul.
instead, it was stained with the blood of those whom he had killed, and the fat of mighty enemy soldiers was smeared on it. Jonathan [PRS] did not retreat carrying his bow [and arrows], and Saul always [defeated his enemies when he fought them] with his sword. [PRS, LIT]
23 Gihigugma ug gikaluy-an gayod ang kinabuhi ni Saul ug ni Jonatan, ug bisan sa ilang kamatayon wala sila magbulag. Mas abtik pa sila kaysa mga agila, mas kusgan pa sila kaysa mga liyon.
“Saul and Jonathan were loved and they pleased many people. They were together [LIT] while they lived and when they died. [In battles] they were swifter than eagles and they were stronger than lions.
24 Paghilak kamong mga anak nga babaye sa Israel alang kang Saul, nga maoy nagbisti kaninyo ug pula inubanan sa mga alahas, ug nagdayandayan kaninyo ug bulawan sa inyong mga bisti.
“You Israeli women, cry about Saul; He provided beautiful scarlet/red clothes for you and he gave you gold ornaments/jewelry to fasten on those clothes.
25 Giunsa pagkalaglag sa kusgan taliwala sa gubat! Gipatay si Jonatan didto sa imong taas nga mga dapit.
“[It is very sad that] this mighty soldier has died! Jonathan has been killed on the mountains/hills.
26 Nagsubo ako alang kanimo, akong igsoong Jonatan. Gipangga ko ikaw pag-ayo, tiunay gayod ang imong gugma kanako, labaw pa sa gugma sa mga babaye.
Jonathan, my dear friend, I grieve for you; you were very dear to me. You loved me in a wonderful manner; it was better than the way that a woman loves [her husband and her children].
27 Giunsa man pagkalaglag sa kusgan, ug pagkahanaw sa mga hinagiban sa panggubat!”
“It is very sad that those mighty men have died, and their weapons are now abandoned!
