1 Samuel 24
1 After Saul [and his soldiers] returned [home] after fighting against the Philistia army, someone reported to Saul that David [and his men] had gone into the desert near En-Gedi.
Idi nagsubli ni Saul manipud iti panangkamkamatna kadagiti Filisteo, naibaga kenkuana, “Adda ni David iti let-ang ti Engedi.”
2 [When] Saul [heard that, he] chose 3,000 men from various areas in Israel, and they went to search for David and his men at a place named Rocks of Wild Goats.
Inkuyog ngarud ni Saul ti tallo ribu a napili a lallaki a naggapu iti entero nga Israel ket napanda binirok ni David ken dagiti tattaona idiay Kabatoan nga ayan dagiti Atap a Kalding.
3 At a place where the road was alongside some sheep pens, Saul [left the road and] entered a cave to defecate [EUP]. [He did not know that] David and his men were hiding further inside that same cave!
Nakagteng isuna kadagiti pagaponan dagiti karnero iti igid ti dalan, nga ayan ti kueba. Immuneg ni Saul tapno umibleng. Ita, agtugtugaw ni David ken dagiti tattaona iti akin un-uneg a paset ti kueba.
4 David’s men [saw Saul and] whispered to David, “Today is the day that Yahweh spoke about when he said, ‘I will enable you to defeat your enemy.’ You can do to him whatever you want to!” So David crept toward the entrance of the cave and [with his knife] he cut off a piece of Saul’s robe.
Kinuna dagiti tattao ni David kenkuana, “Daytoy ti aldaw nga insao ni Yahweh idi imbagana kenka, 'Iyawatkonto ti kabusormo iti imam, tapno maaramidmo kenkuana ti kayatmo.”' Ket timmakder ni David ken nagarudok ket nangragas iti gayadan ti kagay ni Saul.
5 [And then he returned to his men]. But then David felt guilty for having cut off a piece of Saul’s robe.
Kalpasanna, saan a makaidna ni David gapu iti panangragasna iti gayadan ti kagay ni Saul.
6 He said to his men, “I should not have done that to the king! I hope/desire that Yahweh will never allow me to attack the one whom God has appointed, because Yahweh is the one who chose him [to be the king].”
Kinunana kadagiti tattaona, “Saan koma nga itulok ni Yahweh nga aramidek daytoy iti apok, a pinulotan ni Yahweh, a dangrak isuna agsipud ta ammok a ni Yahweh ti nangpili kenkuana.”
7 By saying that, David restrained his men, and did not allow them to kill Saul.
Binagbagaan ngarud ni David dagiti tattaona babaen kadagitoy a sasao, ket saanna ida a pinalubosan a mangdarup kenni Saul. Timmakder ni Saul, pimmanaw isuna idiay kueba ket intuloyna ti nagna.
8 After Saul left the cave and started to walk on the road again, David came out of the cave and shouted to Saul, “King Saul!” Saul turned around and looked, and David bowed down with his face touching the ground.
Kalpasanna, timmakder met ti David, pimmanaw isuna idiay kueba ket pinukkawanna ni Saul: “Apok nga ari.” Idi timmalliaw ni Saul iti malikudanna, nagkurno ni David ket impakitana kenkuana ti panagraemna.
9 Then he said to Saul, “(Why do you pay attention to people when they say ‘David wants to harm you’?/You should not pay attention to people when they say ‘David wants to harm you’.) [RHQ]
Kinuna ni David kenni Saul, “Saanka koma a dumngeg kadagiti lallaki a mangibagbaga, 'Kitaem, kayatnaka a dangran ni David.'
10 Today you can see with your own eyes that [what they say is not true]. Yahweh put you in a place where my men and I could have killed you when you were in this cave. Some of my men told me that I should do that, but I did not do that. I said to them, ‘I will not harm my master, because he is the king whom Yahweh appointed.’
Ita nga aldaw nakita dagiti matam ti panangiyawat ni Yahweh kenka iti imak idi addata iti uneg ti kueba. Imbaga dagiti dadduma kaniak a patayenka, ngem saanka nga inan-ano. Kinunak, 'Saankonto a dangran ti apok; ta pinulotan isuna ni Yahweh.'
11 Your majesty, look at this piece of your robe that is in my hand! I cut it from your robe, but I did not kill you. So now you should be able to understand that I am not planning to do anything evil to you. I have not done anything wrong to you, but you are searching for me to kill me.
Kitaem, amak, kitaem ti gayadan ti kagaymo iti imak. Ta kinapudnona, nangragasak iti gayadan ti kagaymo ket saanka a pinatay, maamirismo koma ken makitam koma nga awan ti dakes wenno saanka a liniputan, ken saanak a nagbasol kenka, urayno an-anupennak ken kayatmo a pukawen ti biagko.
12 I hope/desire that Yahweh will judge and decide which of us ([is doing what is right/pleases him]). And I hope/desire that he will punish you for the wrong things that you have done to me. But I will not try to harm you.
Kedngannata koma ni Yahweh, ket ibalesnak koma ni Yahweh maibusor kenka, ngem saankanto a dangran.
13 There is a proverb that has the words, ‘Evil things are done by evil people.’ But [I am not evil, so] I will not do evil things to you.
Kas iti pagsasao a maibagbaga idi, 'Manipud iti nadangkes, umay ti kinadangkes.' Ngem saanakto a bumusor kenka.
14 “You are the king of Israel. So (why are you pursuing me?/you should not be pursuing me.) [RHQ] I am [as harmless as] [MET] a dead dog or a flea.
Siasino koma met ngay daytoy nga an-anupen ti ari ti Israel? Siasino ngay koma daytoy a kamkamatem? Iti maysa a natay nga aso! Iti maysa a timel!
15 I hope/desire that Yahweh will judge which of us [is doing what (he wants/is right)]. I trust that he will [act like a lawyer and] judge (my case/what I have done), and that he will rescue me from your power [MTY].”
Ni Yahweh koma ti mangikeddeng ket kedngannata koma a dua, ken usigenna daytoy, ken patganna ti asugko ket palubosannak a makalibas manipud iti imam.”
16 When David finished speaking, Saul [called out to him and] asked, “My son David, is that your voice [that I am hearing]?” Then he began to cry loudly.
Apaman a naibaga ni David dagitoy a sasao kenni Saul, kinuna ni Saul, “Timekmo kadi daytoy, anakko a David?” Impukkaw ni Saul ket nagsangit.
17 He said, “You are a better man than I am. You have done something very good to me when I tried to do something very bad to you.
Kinunana kenni David, “Nalinlintegka ngem siak. Ta sinubadannak iti naimbag, idinto ta siak dakes ti insubadko kenka.
18 When Yahweh put me in a place [in that cave] where you could have easily killed me, you did not do that.
Impakitam ita nga aldaw ti kinaimbagmo kaniak, ta saannak a pinatay idi inyawatnak ni Yahweh iti kaasim.
19 (Who else would/No one else would) find his enemy and allow his enemy to escape [when he could kill him instead] [RHQ]. I hope/desire that Yahweh will reward you for being kindly to me today.
Ta no masarakan ti maysa a tao ti kabusorna, saanna a palubosan a pumanaw daytoy a sitatalged. Gunggonaannaka koma ni Yahweh iti kinaimbag gapu iti inaramidmo kaniak ita nga aldaw.
20 I know that [some day] you will surely become the king, and that your kingdom will prosper as you rule the Israeli people.
Ita, ammok nga awan duadua nga agbalinkanto nga ari ken mapatalgedto iti imam ti pagarian ti Israel.
21 Now while Yahweh is listening, solemnly promise to me that you will not kill my family and get rid of all my descendants.”
Isapatam kaniak iti nagan ni Yahweh a saanmonto a pukawen dagiti kaputotak a sumaruno kaniak, ken saanmonto a dadaelen ti naganko manipud iti balay ni amak.”
22 David solemnly promised Saul that he would not [harm Saul’s family]. Then Saul went back home, and David and his men went back up into the place where they had been hiding.
Nagsapata ngarud ni David kenni Saul. Kalpasanna, nagawid ni Saul, ngem simmang-at ni David ken dagiti tattaona a nagturong iti natalged a disso.
