1 Samuel 26

1 And the Ziphites went to Saul at Gibeah, saying: “Behold, David is hidden on the hill of Hachilah, which is opposite the wilderness.”

Dumating ang mga Zipiteo kay Saul sa Gibea at sinabing, “Hindi ba nagtatago si David sa burol ng Hacila, na bago ang desyerto?”

2 And Saul rose up, and he descended into the desert of Ziph, and with him three thousand elect men of Israel, so that he might seek David in the desert of Ziph.

Pagkatapos tumayo si Saul at bumaba sa ilang ng Zip, na may tatlong libong piling kalalakihan ng Israel na kasama niya, upang hanapin si David sa desyerto ng Zip.

3 And Saul encamped at Gibeah on Hachilah, which was opposite the wilderness on the way. But David was living in the desert. Then, seeing that Saul had arrived after him in the wilderness,

Nagkampo si Saul sa burol ng Hacila, na bago sa desyerto, na malapit sa daanan. Ngunit si David ay nanatili sa desyerto, at nakita niya na paparating si Saul kasunod niya sa desyerto.

4 he sent explorers, and he learned that he certainly had arrived in that place.

Kaya nagpadala si David ng mga espiya at napag-alaman niyang totoong dumating si Saul.

5 And David rose up secretly, and he went to the place where Saul was. And when he had seen the place where Saul was sleeping, and Abner, the son of Ner, the leader of his military, and Saul sleeping in a tent, and the remainder of the common people all around him,

Tumayo si David at pumunta sa lugar kung saan nagkampo si Saul; nakita niya ang lugar kung saan nagpapahinga si Saul, at si Abner anak na lalaki ni Ner, ang heneral ng kanyang hukbo; Nagpapahinga si Saul sa kampo, at nagkampo ang mga tao palibot sa kanya, natutulog ang lahat.

6 David spoke to Ahimelech, the Hittite, and to Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, the brother of Joab, saying, “Who will descend with me to Saul in the camp?” And Abishai said, “I will descend with you.”

Pagkatapos sinabi ni David kay Ahimelec na Hiteo, at kay Abisai anak na lalaki ni Zeruia, ang lalaking kapatid ni Joab, “Sino ang sasama sa akin pababa sa kampo ni Saul?” sinabi ni Abisai, “Sasama ako pababa sa iyo.”

7 Therefore, David and Abishai went to the people by night, and they found Saul lying down and sleeping in the tent, with his spear fixed in the ground at his head. And Abner and the people were sleeping all around him.

Kaya pumunta si David at Abisai sa hukbo nang gabi. At nandoon si Saul na natutulog sa loob ng kampo, kasama ang kanyang sibat na nakatusok sa lupa sa tabi ng kanyang ulo. Nagpapahinga si Abner at kanyang mga sundalo sa palibot niya.

8 And Abishai said to David: “God has enclosed your enemy this day in your hands. Now therefore, I will pierce him with my lance, through to the ground, once, and there will not need to be a second.”

Pagkatapos sinabi ni Abisai kay David, “Sa araw na ito inilagay ng Diyos sa iyong kamay ang iyong kaaway. Ngayon pakiusap hayaan mong itusok ko siya sa lupa sa pamamagitan ng sibat sa isang bagsak lamang. Hindi ko siya hahampasin ng pangalawang pagkakataon.”

9 And David said to Abishai: “You shall not kill him. For who may extend his hand against the Christ of the Lord, and yet be innocent?”

Sinabi ni David kay Abisai, “Huwag mo siyang patayin, sapagkat sino ang mag-aabot ng kanyang kamay laban sa hinirang ni Yahweh at hindi magkakasala?”

10 And David said: “As the Lord lives, unless the Lord himself will strike him, or unless his day to die will have arrived, or unless, descending into battle, he will perish,

Sinabi ni David, “Habang nabubuhay si Yahweh, papatayin siya ni Yahweh, o darating ang araw na mamamatay siya, o pupunta siya sa labanan at mamamatay.

11 may the Lord be gracious to me, so that I may not extend my hand against the Christ of the Lord. Now therefore, take the spear that is at his head, and the cup of water, and let us go.”

Nawa'y ipagbawal ni Yahweh na dapat kong iunat ang aking kamay laban sa kanyang tinalaga, kaya ngayon, kunin mo ang sibat na nasa kanyang ulo at ang banga ng tubig, at umalis na tayo.”

12 And so, David took the spear, and the cup of water that was at Saul’s head, and they went away. And there was no one who saw it, or realized it, or awakened, but they were all sleeping. For a deep sleep from the Lord had fallen over them.

Kaya kinuha ni David ang sibat at ang banga ng tubig mula sa ulo ni Saul at umalis na sila. Walang ni isang nakakita sa kanila o nakaalam tungkol dito, ni isang tao ang nagising, dahil nakatulog silang lahat, dahil mahimbing na pagtulog ang ibinigay ni Yahweh sa kanila.

13 And when David had crossed over to the opposite side, and had stood upon the top of the hill far away, so that there was a great interval between them,

Pagkatapos pumunta si David sa kabilang dako at tumayo sa tuktok ng bundok sa malayo, isang malayong pagitan ang nasa kanila.

14 David cried out to the people, and to Abner, the son of Ner, saying, “Will you not respond, Abner?” And responding, Abner said, “Who are you, that you would cry out and disquiet the king?”

Sumigaw si David sa mga tao at kay Abner anak na lalaki ni Ner, sinabi niya, “Hindi ka ba sasagot, Abner?” Pagkatapos sumagot at sinabi ni Abner, “Sino kang sumisigaw sa hari?”

15 And David said to Abner: “Are you not a man? And who else is like you in Israel? Then why have you not guarded your lord the king? For one of the people entered, so that he might kill the king, your lord.

Sinabi ni David kay Abner, “Hindi ka ba isang taong matapang? Sino ang katulad mo sa Israel? Bakit hindi ka nagbantay sa iyong panginoon na hari? Dahil may ibang taong dumating upang patayin ang hari na iyong panginoon.

16 This is not good, what you have done. As the Lord lives, you are sons of death, because you have not guarded your lord, the Christ of the Lord. Now therefore, where is the king’s spear, and where is the cup of water that was at his head?”

Hindi maganda ang bagay na ito na iyong ginawa. Habang nabubuhay si Yahweh, nararapat kang mamatay dahil hindi mo binantayan ang iyong panginoon na hinirang ni Yahweh. At ngayon tingnan mo kung nasaan ang sibat ng hari, at ang banga ng tubig na nasa kanyang ulonan.”

17 Then Saul recognized the voice of David, and he said, “Is this not your voice, my son David?” And David said, “It is my voice, my lord the king.”

Nakilala ni Saul ang boses ni David at sinabi, “Boses mo ba iyan, anak kong David?” sinabi ni David, “Ito ang aking boses, aking panginoong hari.”

18 And he said: “For what reason has my lord pursued his servant? What have I done? Or what evil is there in my hand?

Sinabi niya, “Bakit tinutugis ng hari ang kanyang lingkod? Ano ang aking nagawa? Anong kasamaan ang nasa aking kamay?

19 Now therefore, listen, I beg you, my lord the king, to the words of your servant. If the Lord has stirred you up against me, let him make the sacrifice fragrant. But if the sons of men have done so, they are accursed in the sight of the Lord, who has cast me out this day, so that I would not live within the inheritance of the Lord, saying, ‘Go, serve strange gods.’

Samakatuwid ngayon, nagmakaawa ako sa iyo, hayaang pakinggan ng aking panginoon na hari ang mga salita ng kanyang lingkod. Kung si Yahweh na nag-udyok sa iyo laban sa akin, hayaan siyang tumanggap ng isang handog; ngunit kung mga tao ito, nawa'y isumpa sila sa paningin ni Yahweh, dahil sa araw na ito inilayo nila ako, na hindi dapat ako kumapit sa pamana ni Yahweh, na kanilang sinabi sa akin, “Sumamba ka sa ibang mga diyos.”

20 And now, let not my blood be poured out upon the earth before the Lord. For the king of Israel has gone out, so that he might seek a flea, just as the partridge is pursued amid the mountains.”

Samakatuwid ngayon, huwag hayaang dumanak ang aking dugo sa lupa mula sa presensya ni Yahweh, para sa hari ng Israel na dumating at humanap sa isang pulgas, bilang isang naghahanap ng ibon sa mga bundok.”

21 And Saul said: “I have sinned. Return, my son David. For I will never again do evil to you, because my life has been precious in your eyes this day. For it is apparent that I have acted senselessly, and have been ignorant of very many things.”

Pagkatapos sinabi ni Saul, “Nagkasala ako. Bumalik ka, David, anak ko, hindi na kita kailanman sasaktan, dahil natatangi ang aking buhay sa iyong mga mata ngayon. Tingnan mo, naging mangmang ako at lubusang nagkamali.”

22 And responding, David said: “Behold, the king’s spear. Let one of the servants of the king cross over and take it.

Sumagot si David at sinabi, “Tingnan mo, aking hari, narito ang iyong sibat! Hayaan mong lumapit ang isa sa iyong batang kalalakihan at kunin ito at dalhin ito sa iyo.

23 And the Lord will repay each one according to his justice and faith. For the Lord has delivered you this day into my hand, but I was not willing to extend my hand against the Christ of the Lord.

Nawa pagbayarin ni Yahweh ang bawat tao para sa kanyang kadakilaan at kanyang katapatan, dahil inilagay ito ni Yahweh sa araw na ito, ngunit hindi ko sasaktan ang kanyang tinalaga.

24 And just as your soul has been magnified this day in my eyes, so let my soul be magnified in the eyes of the Lord, and may he free me from all distress.”

At tingnan mo, tulad ng buhay mong katangi-tangi sa aking mga mata sa araw na ito, kaya nawa maging mas mahalaga ang buhay ko sa mga mata ni Yahweh, at nawa iligtas niya ako mula sa lahat ng kaguluhan.”

25 Then Saul said to David: “You are blessed, my son David. And whatever you may do, it shall certainly succeed.” And David departed on his way. And Saul returned to his place.

Pagkatapos sinabi ni Saul kay David, “Nawa pagpalain ka, anak kong David, upang makagawa ka ng mga dakilang bagay, at tunay na magtatagumpay ka.” Kaya lumakad si David, at bumalik si Saul sa kanyang lugar.
