1At 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? 2At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Malayo nawa; hindi ka mamamatay: narito, ang aking ama ay hindi gumagawa ng anomang bagay na malaki o maliit kundi niya ipaalam sa akin: at bakit ililihim sa akin ng aking ama ang bagay na ito? hindi gayon. 3At 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. 4Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Jonathan kay David, Anomang adhikain ng iyong kaluluwa ay aking gagawin dahil sa iyo. 5At 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. 6Kung ako'y punahin ng iyong ama, iyo ngang sabihing, Hiniling na mainam sa akin ni David na siya'y patakbuhin sa Bethlehem na kaniyang bayan: sapagka't siyang paghahain na taonan sa lahat ng angkan. 7Kung kaniyang sabihing ganito, Mabuti; ang iyong lingkod ay matitiwasay; nguni't kung siya'y magalit, talastasin mo nga na ang kasamaan ay ipinasiya niya. 8Kaya pagmagandahang loob mo ang iyong lingkod; sapagka't iyong dinala ang iyong lingkod sa isang tipan ng Panginoon sa iyo; nguni't kung magtaglay ako ng kasamaan, patayin mo ako; sapagka't bakit mo pa dadalhin ako sa iyong ama? 9At 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? 10Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni David kay Jonathan, Sino ang magsasaysay sa akin, kung sakaling ang iyong ama ay sumagot sa iyo na may kagalitan? 11At sinabi ni Jonathan kay David, Halika at tayo'y lumabas sa parang. At sila'y kapuwa lumabas sa parang. 12At sinabi ni Jonathan kay David, Ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng Israel, maging saksi; pagka aking natarok ang aking ama sa oras na ito sa kinabukasan o sa ikatlong araw, narito, kung maging mabuti kay David, hindi ko nga ba pasasapitin sa iyo, at ipababatid sa iyo? 13Kung 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. 14At huwag mangyari kailanman hanggang ako'y nabubuhay, na di mo ako pagpakitaan ng kagandahang loob ng Panginoon upang ako'y huwag mamatay: 15Subali'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. 16Sa gayo'y nakipagtipan si Jonathan sa sangbahayan ni David, na sinabi, At hihingin ng Panginoon sa kamay ng mga kaaway ni David. 17At 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. 18Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Jonathan sa kaniya, Bukas ay bagong buwan, at ikaw ay pupunahin, sapagka't sa iyong upuan ay walang nakaupo. 19At 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. 20At ako'y papana ng tatlong palaso sa dako niyaon na parang ako'y may pinatatamaan. 21At, 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. 22Nguni't kung aking sabihing ganito sa bata: Narito, ang mga palaso ay nangasa dako mo pa roon: ituloy mo ang iyong lakad, sapagka't pinayaon ka ng Panginoon. 23At tungkol sa usap na ating pinagsalitaan, narito, ang Panginoon ay nasa gitna natin magpakailan man. 24Sa gayo'y nagkubli si David sa parang: at nang dumating ang bagong buwan, ang hari ay umupong kumain. 25At 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. 26Gayon ma'y hindi nagsalita si Saul ng anoman sa araw na yaon: sapagka't kaniyang inisip: May bagay na nangyari sa kaniya, siya'y hindi malinis; tunay na siya'y hindi malinis. 27At 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. 28At sumagot si Jonathan kay Saul, Namanhik si David na bayaan ko siya na pumaroon sa Bethlehem: 29At 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. 30Nang magkagayo'y nagalab ang galit ni Saul laban kay Jonathan, at sinabi niya sa kaniya, Ikaw ay anak ng masama at mapanghimagsik na babae, hindi ko ba nalalaman na iyong pinili ang anak ni Isai sa ikahihiya mo, at sa ikahihiya ng kahubaran ng iyong ina? 31Sapagka'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. 32At sumagot si Jonathan kay Saul na kaniyang ama; at nagsabi sa kaniya, Bakit siya papatayin? anong kaniyang ginawa? 33At 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. 34Sa gayo'y tumindig si Jonathan sa dulang na may mabangis na galit, at hindi kumain sa ikalawang araw ng buwan: sapagka't siya'y nagdalamhati dahil kay David, sapagka't hiniya siya ng kaniyang ama. 35At nangyari sa kinaumagahan, na si David ay nilabas ni Jonathan sa parang sa takdang panahon, at isang munting bata ang kasama niya. 36At sinabi niya sa kaniyang bataan, Takbo, hanapin mo ngayon ang mga palaso na aking ipinana. At pagtakbo ng bataan, kaniyang ipinana ang palaso sa dako roon niya. 37At 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? 38At sinigawan ni Jonathan ang bataan, Tulin, magmadali ka, huwag kang tumigil. At pinulot ng bataan ni Jonathan ang mga palaso, at naparoon sa kaniyang panginoon. 39Nguni't hindi naalaman ng bataan ang anoman: si Jonathan at si David lamang ang nakaalam ng bagay. 40At ibinigay ni Jonathan ang kaniyang sandata sa kaniyang bataan, at sinabi sa kaniya, Yumaon ka, dalhin mo sa bayan. 41At 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. 42At sinabi ni Jonathan kay David, Yumaon kang payapa, yamang tayo'y kapuwa sumumpa sa pangalan ng Panginoon na nagsasabi, Ang Panginoon ay lalagay sa gitna natin, at sa gitna ng aking binhi at ng iyong binhi, magpakailan man. At siya'y bumangon at yumaon: at pumasok si Jonathan sa bayan.
1David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my iniquity? What is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?” 2He said to him, “Far from it; you shall not die. Behold, my father does nothing either great or small, but that he discloses it to me; and why should my father hide this thing from me? It is not so.” 3David swore moreover, and said, “Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes; and he says, ‘Don’t let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved:’ but truly as Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.” 4Then Jonathan said to David, “Whatever your soul desires, I will even do it for you.” 5David said to Jonathan, “Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to dine with the king; but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field to the third day at evening. 6If your father miss me at all, then say, ‘David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city; for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family.’ 7If he says, ‘It is well;’ your servant shall have peace: but if he be angry, then know that evil is determined by him. 8Therefore deal kindly with your servant; for you have brought your servant into a covenant of Yahweh with you: but if there is iniquity in me, kill me yourself; for why should you bring me to your father?” 9Jonathan said, “Far be it from you; for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come on you, then wouldn’t I tell you that?” 10Then David said to Jonathan, “Who shall tell me if perchance your father answers you roughly?” 11Jonathan said to David, “Come, and let us go out into the field.” They both went out into the field. 12Jonathan said to David, “By Yahweh, the God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about this time tomorrow, or the third day, behold, if there is good toward David, shall I not then send to you, and disclose it to you? 13Yahweh do so to Jonathan, and more also, should it please my father to do you evil, if I don’t disclose it to you, and send you away, that you may go in peace: and Yahweh be with you, as he has been with my father. 14You shall not only while yet I live show me the loving kindness of Yahweh, that I not die; 15but also you shall not cut off your kindness from my house forever; no, not when Yahweh has cut off the enemies of David everyone from the surface of the earth.” 16So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, “Yahweh will require it at the hand of David’s enemies.” 17Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul. 18Then Jonathan said to him, “Tomorrow is the new moon: and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty. 19When you have stayed three days, you shall go down quickly, and come to the place where you hid yourself when this started, and shall remain by the stone Ezel. 20I will shoot three arrows on its side, as though I shot at a mark. 21Behold, I will send the boy, saying, ‘Go, find the arrows!’ If I tell the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are on this side of you. Take them;’ then come; for there is peace to you and no hurt, as Yahweh lives. 22But if I say this to the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are beyond you;’ then go your way; for Yahweh has sent you away. 23Concerning the matter which you and I have spoken of, behold, Yahweh is between you and me forever.” 24So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon had come, the king sat him down to eat food. 25The king sat on his seat, as at other times, even on the seat by the wall; and Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul’s side: but David’s place was empty. 26Nevertheless Saul didn’t say anything that day: for he thought, “Something has happened to him. He is not clean. Surely he is not clean.” 27On the next day after the new moon, the second day, David’s place was empty. Saul said to Jonathan his son, “Why doesn’t the son of Jesse come to eat, neither yesterday, nor today?” 28Jonathan answered Saul, “David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem. 29He said, ‘Please let me go, for our family has a sacrifice in the city. My brother has commanded me to be there. Now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me go away and see my brothers.’ Therefore he has not come to the king’s table.” 30Then Saul’s anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, “You son of a perverse rebellious woman, don’t I know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness? 31For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, you shall not be established, nor your kingdom. Therefore now send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die!” 32Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, “Why should he be put to death? What has he done?” 33Saul cast his spear at him to strike him. By this Jonathan knew that his father was determined to put David to death. 34So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month; for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame. 35In the morning, Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little boy with him. 36He said to his boy, “Run, find now the arrows which I shoot.” As the boy ran, he shot an arrow beyond him. 37When the boy had come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the boy, and said, “Isn’t the arrow beyond you?” 38Jonathan cried after the boy, “Go fast! Hurry! Don’t delay!” Jonathan’s boy gathered up the arrows, and came to his master. 39But the boy didn’t know anything. Only Jonathan and David knew the matter. 40Jonathan gave his weapons to his boy, and said to him, “Go, carry them to the city.” 41As soon as the boy was gone, David arose out of the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times. They kissed one another, and wept one with another, and David wept the most. 42Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, because we have both sworn in Yahweh’s name, saying, ‘Yahweh shall be between me and you, and between my seed and your seed, forever.’” He arose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city.
1Toen vluchtte David van Najoth bij Rama, en hij kwam, en zeide voor het aangezicht van Jonathan: Wat heb ik gedaan, wat is mijn misdaad, en wat is mijn zonde voor het aangezicht uws vaders, dat hij mijn ziel zoekt? 2Hij daarentegen zeide tot hem: Dat zij verre, gij zult niet sterven. Zie, mijn vader doet geen grote zaak, en geen kleine zaak, die hij voor mijn oor niet openbaart; waarom zou dan mijn vader deze zaak van mij verbergen? Dat is niet. 3Toen zwoer David verder, en zeide: Uw vader weet zeer wel, dat ik genade in uw ogen gevonden heb; daarom heeft hij gezegd: Dat Jonathan dit niet wete, opdat hij zich niet bekommere; en zekerlijk, zo waarachtig als de HEERE leeft, en uw ziel leeft, er is maar als een schrede tussen mij en tussen den dood! 4Jonathan nu zeide tot David: Wat uw ziel zegt, dat zal ik u doen. 5En David zeide tot Jonathan: Zie, morgen is de nieuwe maan, dat ik zekerlijk met den koning zou aanzitten om te eten; zo laat mij gaan, dat ik mij op het veld verberge tot aan den derden avond. 6Indien uw vader mij gewisselijk mist, zo zult gij zeggen: David heeft van mij zeer begeerd, dat hij tot zijn stad Bethlehem mocht lopen; want aldaar is een jaarlijks offer voor het ganse geslacht. 7Indien hij aldus zegt: Het is goed, zo heeft uw knecht vrede; maar indien hij gans ontstoken is, zo weet, dat het kwaad bij hem ten volle besloten is. 8Doe dan barmhartigheid aan uw knecht, want gij hebt uw knecht in een verbond des HEEREN met u gebracht; maar is er een misdaad in mij, zo dood gij mij; waarom zoudt gij mij toch tot uw vader brengen? 9Toen zeide Jonathan: Dat zij verre van u! Maar indien ik zekerlijk merkte, dat dit kwaad bij mijn vader ten volle besloten ware, dat het u zou overkomen, zou ik dat u dan niet te kennen geven? 10David nu zeide tot Jonathan: Wie zal het mij te kennen geven, indien uw vader u wat hards antwoordt? 11Toen zeide Jonathan tot David: Kom, laat ons toch uitgaan in het veld; en die beiden gingen uit in het veld. 12En Jonathan zeide tot David: De HEERE, de God Israels, indien ik mijn vader onderzocht zal hebben omtrent dezen tijd, morgen of overmorgen, en zie, het is goed voor David, en ik dan tot u niet zende, en voor uw oor openbare; 13Alzo doe de HEERE aan Jonathan, en alzo doe Hij daartoe! Als mijn vader het kwaad over u behaagt, zo zal ik het voor uw oor ontdekken, en ik zal u trekken laten, dat gij in vrede heengaat; en de HEERE zij met u, gelijk als Hij met mijn vader geweest is. 14En zult gij niet, indien ik dan nog leve, ja, zult gij niet de weldadigheid des HEEREN aan mij doen, dat ik niet sterve? 15Ook zult gij uw weldadigheid niet afsnijden van mijn huis tot in eeuwigheid; ook niet wanneer de HEERE een iegelijk der vijanden van David van den aardbodem zal afgesneden hebben. 16Alzo maakte Jonathan een verbond met het huis van David, zeggende: Dat het de HEERE eise van de hand der vijanden Davids! 17En Jonathan voer voort, met David te doen zweren, omdat hij hem liefhad; want hij had hem lief met de liefde zijner ziel. 18Daarna zeide Jonathan tot hem: Morgen is de nieuwe maan; dan zal men u missen, want uw zitplaats zal ledig gevonden worden. 19En als gij de drie dagen zult uitgebleven zijn, kom haastig af, en ga tot die plaats, waar gij u verborgen hadt ten dage dezer handeling; en blijf bij den steen Ezel. 20Zo zal ik drie pijlen ter zijde schieten, als of ik naar een teken schoot. 21En zie, ik zal den jongen zenden, zeggende: Ga heen, zoek de pijlen, indien ik uitdrukkelijk tot den jongen zeg: Zie, de pijlen zijn van u af en herwaarts, neem hem; en kom gij, want er is vrede voor u, en er is geen ding, zo waarlijk de HEERE leeft! 22Maar indien ik tot den jongen alzo zeg: Zie, de pijlen zijn van u af en verder; ga heen, want de HEERE heeft u laten gaan. 23En aangaande de zaak, waarvan ik en gij gesproken hebben, zie, de HEERE zij tussen mij en tussen u, tot in eeuwigheid! 24David nu verborg zich in het veld; en als het nieuwe maan was, zat de koning bij de spijze, om te eten. 25Toen zich de koning gezet had op zijn zitplaats, op dit maal gelijk de andere maal, aan de stede bij den wand, zo stond Jonathan op, en Abner zat aan Sauls zijde, en Davids plaats werd ledig gevonden. 26En Saul sprak te dien dage niets, want hij zeide: Hem is wat voorgevallen, dat hij niet rein is; voorzeker, hij is niet rein. 27Het geschiedde nu des anderen daags, den tweeden der nieuwe maan, als Davids plaats ledig gevonden werd, zo zeide Saul tot zijn zoon Jonathan: Waarom is de zoon van Isai noch gisteren noch heden tot de spijze gekomen? 28En Jonathan antwoordde Saul: David begeerde van mij ernstelijk naar Bethlehem te mogen gaan. 29En hij zeide: Laat mij toch gaan; want ons geslacht heeft een offer in de stad, en mijn broeder heeft het mij zelfs geboden; heb ik nu genade in uw ogen gevonden, laat mij toch ontslagen zijn, dat ik mijn broeders zie; hierom is hij aan des konings tafel niet gekomen. 30Toen ontstak de toorn van Saul tegen Jonathan, en hij zeide tot hem: Gij, zoon der verkeerde in wederspannigheid, weet ik het niet, dat gij den zoon van Isai verkoren hebt tot uw schande, en tot schande van de naaktheid uwer moeder? 31Want al de dagen, die de zoon van Isai op den aardbodem leven zal, zo zult gij noch uw koninkrijk bevestigd worden; nu dan, schik heen, en haal hem tot mij, want hij is een kind des doods. 32Toen antwoordde Jonathan Saul, zijn vader, en zeide tot hem: Waarom zal hij gedood worden? Wat heeft hij gedaan? 33Toen schoot Saul de spies op hem, om hem te slaan. Alzo merkte Jonathan, dat dit ten volle bij zijn vader besloten was, David te doden. 34Daarom stond Jonathan van de tafel op in hittigheid des toorns; en hij at op den tweeden dag der nieuwe maan geen brood, want hij was bekommerd om David, omdat zijn vader hem gesmaad had. 35En het geschiedde des morgens, dat Jonathan in het veld ging, op den tijd, die David bestemd was; en er was een kleine jongen bij hem. 36En hij zeide tot zijn jongen: Loop, zoek nu de pijlen, die ik schieten zal. De jongen liep heen, en hij schoot een pijl, dien hij deed over hem vliegen. 37Toen de jongen tot aan de plaats des pijls, dien Jonathan geschoten had, gekomen was, zo riep Jonathan den jongen na, en zeide: Is niet de pijl van u af en verder? 38Wederom riep Jonathan den jongen na: Haast u, spoed u, sta niet stil! De jongen van Jonathan nu raapte den pijl op, en hij kwam tot zijn heer. 39Doch de jongen wist er niets van; Jonathan en David alleen wisten van de zaak. 40Toen gaf Jonathan zijn gereedschap aan den jongen, dien hij had; en hij zeide tot hem: Ga heen, breng het in de stad. 41Als de jongen heenging, zo stond David op van de zuidzijde, en hij viel op zijn aangezicht ter aarde, en hij boog zich driemaal; en zij kusten elkander, en weenden met elkander, totdat het David gans veel maakte. 42Toen zeide Jonathan tot David: Ga in vrede; hetgeen wij beiden in den Naam des HEEREN gezworen Hebben, zeggende: De HEERE zij tussen mij en tussen u, en tussen mijn zaad en tussen uw zaad, zij tot in eeuwigheid! Daarna stond hij op, en ging heen; en Jonathan kwam in de stad.
