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 after the death of Saul, when David, having come back from the destruction of the Amalekites, had been in Ziklag for two days;
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.
On the third day a man came from Saul's tents, with his clothing out of order and earth on his head: and when he came to David, he went down on the earth and gave him honour.
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, I have come in flight from the tents 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, How did things go? Give me the news. And in answer he said, The people have gone in flight from the fight, and a great number of them are dead; and Saul and his son Jonathan are dead.
5 Kinuna ni David iti agtutubo, “Kasanom nga ammo a natay da Saul ken Jonatan nga anakna?”
And David said to the young man who gave him the news, Why are you certain that Saul and his son Jonathan are 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 said, I came by chance to Mount Gilboa, and I saw Saul supporting himself on his spear; and the war-carriages and horsemen overtook him.
7 Kimmita Saul iti aglawlaw ket nakitanak ket inayabannak. Simmungbatak, 'Adtoyak.'
And looking back, he saw me and gave a cry to me. And answering him I said, Here am I.
8 Kinunana kaniak, 'Siasinoka?' Sinungbatak isuna, 'Maysaak nga Amalekita.'
And he said to me, Who are you? And I said, I am an Amalekite.
9 Kinunana kaniak, 'Pangngaasim ta umasidegka kaniak ket patayennak, ta tengngelnak ti nakaro a panagsagaba, ngem sibibiagak pay laeng.'
Then he said to me, Come here to my side, and put me to death, for the pain of death has me in its grip but my life is still strong 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 put my foot on him and gave him his death-blow, because I was certain that he would not go on living after his fall: and I took the crown from his head and the band from his arm, and I have them here for my lord.
11 Ket, pinisang ni David dagiti pagan-anayna, ken kasta met ti inaramid dagiti amin a lallaki a kaduana.
Then David gave way to bitter grief, and so did 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 till evening they gave themselves to sorrow and weeping, and took no food, weeping for Saul and for Jonathan, his son, and for the people of the Lord and for the men of Israel; because they had come to their end 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 young man who had given him the news, Where do you come from? And he said, I am the son of a man from a strange land; I am 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 to him, Had you no fear of stretching out your hand to put to death the one marked with the holy oil?
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 sent for one of his young men and said, Go near and put an end to him. And he put him to death.
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, May your blood be on your head; for your mouth has given witness against you, saying, I have put to death the man marked with the holy oil.
17 Kalpasanna, kinanta ni David daytoy a dung-aw maipapan kada Saul ken Jonatan nga anakna.
Then David made this song of grief for Saul and 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.
(It is recorded in the book of Jashar for teaching to the sons of Judah) and he said:
19 “Ti dayagmo, Israel, ket natayen, napapatay kadagiti bantaymo! Kasano a napasag ti maingel!
The glory, O Israel, is dead on your high places! How have the great ones been made low!
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.
Give no news of it in Gath, let it not be said in the streets of Ashkelon; or the daughters of the Philistines will be glad, the daughters of men without circumcision will be uplifted in joy.
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 there be no dew or rain on you, you fields of death: for there the arms of the strong have been shamed, the arms of Saul, as if he had not been marked with the holy 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 dead, from the fat of the strong, the bow of Jonathan was not turned back, the sword of Saul did not come back unused.
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 loved and pleasing; in their lives and in their death they were not parted; they went more quickly 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.
O daughters of Israel, have sorrow for Saul, by whom you were delicately clothed in robes of red, with ornaments of gold on your dresses.
25 Anian a pannakapasag ti maingel iti paggugubatan! Napapatay ni Jonatan kadagiti nangangato a lugarmo.
How have the great ones been made low in the fight! Jonathan is dead on your 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 full of grief for you, my brother Jonathan: very dear have you been to me: your love for me was a wonder, greater than the love of women.
27 Anian a pannakapasag ti maingel, ken ti pannakapukaw dagiti igam a panggubat!”
How have the great ones been made low, and the arms of war broken!
