1 Samuel 20

¹ At si David ay tumakas mula sa Najoth, na nasa Rama, at siya'y dumating at nagsabi sa harap ni Jonathan, Anong aking ginawa? anong aking kasamaan? at anong aking kasalanan sa harap ng iyong ama, upang kaniyang usigin ang aking buhay?

¹ Then David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said to Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my iniquity? And what is my sin before your father, that he is seeking my life?”

³ At gayon ma'y si David ay sumumpa, at nagsabi, Talastas na maigi ng iyong ama, na ako'y nakasumpong ng biyaya sa iyong paningin; at kaniyang sinasabi, Huwag maalaman ni Jonathan ito, baka siya'y magdalamhati; nguni't buhay nga ang Panginoon, at buhay ang iyong kaluluwa, na iisang hakbang ang pagitan ko sa kamatayan.

³ Yet David vowed again, saying, “Your father knows well that I have found favor in your sight, and he has said, ‘Do not let Jonathan know this, or he will be grieved.’ But truly as the Lord lives and as your soul lives, there is hardly a step between me and death.”

⁵ At sinabi ni David kay Jonathan, Narito, bukas ay bagong buwan, at ako'y di marapat na di sumalo sa hari; nguni't bayaan mo akong yumaon upang ako'y magkubli sa parang hanggang sa ikatlong araw sa paglubog ng araw.

⁵ So David said to Jonathan, “Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I ought to sit down to eat with the king. But let me go, that I may hide myself in the field until the third evening.

⁷ Kung kaniyang sabihing ganito, Mabuti; ang iyong lingkod ay matitiwasay; nguni't kung siya'y magalit, talastasin mo nga na ang kasamaan ay ipinasiya niya.

⁷ If he says, ‘It is good,’ your servant will be safe; but if he is very angry, know that he has decided on evil.

⁹ At sinabi ni Jonathan, Malayo nawa sa iyo: sapagka't kung matalastas ko sa anomang paraan na ang kasamaan ay ipinasiya ng ama kong sumapit sa iyo, hindi ko ba sasaysayin sa iyo?

⁹ Jonathan said, “Far be it from you! For if I should indeed learn that evil has been decided by my father to come upon you, then would I not tell you about it?”

¹¹ At sinabi ni Jonathan kay David, Halika at tayo'y lumabas sa parang. At sila'y kapuwa lumabas sa parang.

¹¹ Jonathan said to David, “Come, and let us go out into the field.” So both of them went out to the field.

¹³ Kung mabutihin ng aking ama na gawan ka ng kasamaan, ay hatulan ng Panginoon si Jonathan, malibang ipabatid ko sa iyo at payaunin ka, upang ikaw ay yumaong payapa: at ang Panginoon ay sumaiyo nawa na gaya ng siya'y nasa aking ama.

¹³ If it please my father to do you harm, may the Lord do so to Jonathan and more also, if I do not make it known to you and send you away, that you may go in safety. And may the Lord be with you as He has been with my father.

¹⁵ Subali't huwag mo ring ihihiwalay ang iyong kagandahang loob sa aking sangbahayan magpakailan man: huwag kahit man lipulin ng Panginoon ang lahat ng mga kaaway ni David sa balat ng lupa.

¹⁵ You shall not cut off your lovingkindness from my house forever, not even when the Lord cuts off every one of the enemies of David from the face of the earth.”

¹⁷ At pinasumpa uli ni Jonathan si David dahil sa pagibig niya sa kaniya: sapagka't kaniyang minamahal siya na gaya ng pagmamahal niya sa kaniyang sariling kaluluwa.

¹⁷ Jonathan made David vow again because of his love for him, because he loved him as he loved his own life.

¹⁹ At pagtatagal mo ng tatlong araw ay bababa kang madali at paroroon ka sa dakong iyong pinagtaguan ng araw na pag-usapan ito, at ikaw ay maghihintay sa tabi ng bato ng Ezel.

¹⁹ When you have stayed for three days, you shall go down quickly and come to the place where you hid yourself on that eventful day, and you shall remain by the stone Ezel.

²¹ At, narito, aking susuguin ang bata: Ikaw ay yumaon na hanapin mo ang mga palaso. Kung aking sabihin sa bata: Narito, ang mga palaso ay nangarito sa dako mo rito: pagkunin mo, at parito ka; sapagka't may kapayapaan sa iyo at walang anoman, buhay ang Panginoon.

²¹ And behold, I will send the lad, saying, ‘Go, find the arrows.’ If I specifically say to the lad, ‘Behold, the arrows are on this side of you, get them,’ then come; for there is safety for you and no harm, as the Lord lives.

²³ At tungkol sa usap na ating pinagsalitaan, narito, ang Panginoon ay nasa gitna natin magpakailan man.

²³ As for the agreement of which you and I have spoken, behold, the Lord is between you and me forever.”

²⁵ At umupo ang hari sa kaniyang upuan na gaya ng kinaugalian niya sa makatuwid baga'y sa upuang nasa siping ng dinding; at tumayo si Jonathan, at umupo si Abner sa siping ni Saul; nguni't sa upuan ni David ay walang nakaupo.

²⁵ The king sat on his seat as usual, the seat by the wall; then Jonathan rose up and Abner sat down by Saul’s side, but David’s place was empty.

²⁷ At nangyari nang kinabukasan, pagkaraan ng bagong buwan na ikalawang araw, na sa upuan ni David ay walang nakaupo, sinabi ni Saul kay Jonathan na kaniyang anak, Bakit hindi naparirito ang anak ni Isai upang kumain, ni kahapon, ni ngayon man.

²⁷ It came about the next day, the second day of the new moon, that David’s place was empty; so Saul said to Jonathan his son, “Why has the son of Jesse not come to the meal, either yesterday or today?”

²⁹ At kaniyang sinabi, Isinasamo ko sa iyo na payaunin mo ako; sapagka't ang aming angkan ay may paghahain sa bayan; at iniutos sa akin ng aking kapatid na dumoon; at ngayon, kung ako'y nakasumpong ng biyaya sa iyong paningin, ay bayaan mo akong yumaon, isinasamo ko sa iyo, at aking tingnan ang aking mga kapatid. Kaya hindi siya naparito sa dulang ng hari.

²⁹ for he said, ‘Please let me go, since our family has a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has commanded me to attend. And now, if I have found favor in your sight, please let me get away that I may see my brothers.’ For this reason he has not come to the king’s table.”

³¹ Sapagka't habang nabubuhay ang anak ni Isai sa ibabaw ng lupa, ikaw ay hindi mapapanatag ni ang iyong kaharian man. Kaya ngayo'y iyong ipasundo at dalhin siya sa akin, sapagka't siya'y walang pagsalang mamamatay.

³¹ For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, neither you nor your kingdom will be established. Therefore now, send and bring him to me, for he must surely die.”

³³ At inihandulong ni Saul ang kaniyang sibat sa kaniya upang saktan siya; na doon nakilala ni Jonathan na pasiya ng kaniyang ama na patayin si David.

³³ Then Saul hurled his spear at him to strike him down; so Jonathan knew that his father had decided to put David to death.

³⁵ At nangyari sa kinaumagahan, na si David ay nilabas ni Jonathan sa parang sa takdang panahon, at isang munting bata ang kasama niya.

³⁵ Now it came about in the morning that Jonathan went out into the field for the appointment with David, and a little lad was with him.

³⁷ At nang dumating ang bataan sa dako ng palaso na ipinana ni Jonathan, sinigawan ni Jonathan ang bataan, at sinabi, Hindi ba ang palaso ay nasa dako mo pa roon?

³⁷ When the lad reached the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan called after the lad and said, “Is not the arrow beyond you?”

³⁹ Nguni't hindi naalaman ng bataan ang anoman: si Jonathan at si David lamang ang nakaalam ng bagay.

³⁹ But the lad was not aware of anything; only Jonathan and David knew about the matter.

⁴¹ At pagkayaon ng bataan, si David ay tumindig sa dakong tungo sa Timugan, at sumubsob sa lupa, at yumukod na makaitlo: at sila'y naghalikan, at umiyak kapuwa, hanggang si David ay humigit.

⁴¹ When the lad was gone, David rose from the south side and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed three times. And they kissed each other and wept together, but David wept the more.
