2 Kings 6
1 Now the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “Please take note that the place where we meet with you is too small for us.
Sinabi ng mga anak ng mga propeta kay Eliseo, “Ang lugar kung saan kami nakatira kasama ka ay masyadong maliit para sa ating lahat.
2 Please let us go to the Jordan, where each of us can get a log so we can build ourselves a place to live there.” “Go,” said Elisha.
Hayaan mo kaming pumunta sa Jordan, at magputol ng puno roon at magtayo ng matitirahan.” Tumugon si Eliseo sinabing, “Sige.”
3 Then one of them said, “Please come with your servants.” “I will come,” he replied.
Sinabi ng isa sa kanila, “Pakiusap samahan mo ang iyong mga lingkod.” Sumagot si Eliseo, “Sasama ako.”
4 So Elisha went with them, and when they came to the Jordan, they began to cut down some trees.
Kaya sumama siya sa kanila, at nang makarating sila sa Jordan, nag-umpisa silang magputol ng mga puno.
5 As one of them was cutting down a tree, the iron axe head fell into the water. “Oh, my master,” he cried out, “it was borrowed!”
Pero habang nagpuputol ang isa sa kanila, nalaglag ang ulo ng palakol sa tubig; sumigaw siya at sinabinig, “Naku, panginoon, hiniram ko lang iyon!”
6 “Where did it fall?” asked the man of God. And when he showed him the place, the man of God cut a stick, threw it there, and made the iron float.
Kaya sinabi ng lingkod ng Diyos, “Saan ito nahulog?” Tinuro ng lalaki kay Eliseo ang lugar. Pumutol siya ngayon siya ng isang patpat, tinapon ito sa tubig at pinalutang ang palakol.
7 “Lift it out,” he said, and the man reached out his hand and took it.
Sinabi ni Eliseo, “Kunin mo.” Kaya inabot ito ng lalaki ng kaniyang kamay.
8 Now the king of Aram was at war against Israel. After consulting with his servants, he said, “My camp will be in such and such a place.”
Ngayon nakikipagdigma ang hari ng Aram laban sa Israel. Sumangguni siya sa kaniyang mga lingkod, sinasabing, “Ang kampo ko ay nasa ganitong lugar.”
9 Then the man of God sent word to the king of Israel: “Be careful passing by this place, for the Arameans are going down there.”
Kaya nagpunta ang lingkod ng Diyos sa hari ng Israel, sinasabing, “Sikapin ninyong hindi dumaan sa lugar na iyon, dahil ang mga Aramean ay bababa roon.”
10 So the king of Israel sent word to the place the man of God had pointed out. Time and again Elisha warned the king, so that he was on his guard in such places.
Pagkatapos nagpadala ang hari ng Israel ng mga tauhan sa lugar na iyon kung saan binalaan siya ng lingkod ng Diyos. Iniligtas siya ng babalang iyon ng ilang beses.
11 For this reason the king of Aram became enraged and called his servants to demand of them, “Tell me, which one of us is on the side of the king of Israel?”
Gulong-gulo ang isip ng hari ng Aram dahil sa babalang ito, at tinawag niya ang kaniyang mga lingkod at sinabi sa kanila, “Wala ba sa inyo ang magsasabi kung sino sa inyo ang pumapanig sa hari ng Israel?”
12 But one of his servants replied, “No one, my lord the king. For Elisha, the prophet in Israel, tells the king of Israel the very words you speak in your bedroom.”
Kaya sinabi ng isa sa kaniyang mga lingkod, “Hindi, panginoong hari, dahil si Eliseo na propeta ng Israel ang nagsasabi sa hari ng Israel ng mga sinasabi mo sa iyong silid!”
13 So the king said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send men to capture him.” On receiving the report, “Elisha is in Dothan,”
Tumugon ang hari, “Humayo kayo at tingnan ninyo kung nasaan si Eliseo nang makapagpadala ako ng mga tauhan para dakpin siya.” At sinabi sa kaniya, “Nasa Dotan siya.”
14 the king of Aram sent horses, chariots, and a great army. They went there by night and surrounded the city.
Kaya nagpadala ang hari ng mga kabayo, mga karwahe at isang malaking hukbo sa Dotan. Dumating sila nang gabi at pinalibutan ang lungsod.
15 When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early in the morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. So he asked Elisha, “Oh, my master, what are we to do?”
Nang ang alipin ng lingkod ng Diyos ay maagang bumangon at lumabas, pagmasdan mo, isang malaking hukbo at mga kabayo ang nakapaligid sa lungsod. Sinabi ng kaniyang alipin sa kaniya, “Panginoon! Anong gagawin natin?”
16 “Do not be afraid,” Elisha answered, “for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
Sumagot si Eliseo, “Huwag kang matakot, dahil ang mga kasama natin ay higit na mas marami kumpara sa kanila.”
17 Then Elisha prayed, “O LORD, please open his eyes that he may see.” And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw that the hills were full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
Nanalangin si Eliseo at sinabing, “Yahweh, Nakiki-usap ako na buksan mo ang mga mata niya nang makakita siya.” Kaya't binuksan ni Yahweh ang mga mata ng kaniyang alipin at nakakita siya. Ang bundok ay puno ng mga kabayo at karwahe na nag-aapoy sa paligid ni Eliseo!
18 As the Arameans came down against him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, “Please strike these people with blindness.” So He struck them with blindness, according to the word of Elisha.
Nang bumaba ang mga Aramean sa kaniya, nanalangin si Eliseo kay Yahweh at sinabing, “Hinihiling kong bulagin mo sila.” Kaya't binulag sila ni Yahweh, gaya ng hiling ni Eliseo.
19 And Elisha told them, “This is not the way, and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will take you to the man you are seeking.” And he led them to Samaria.
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Eliseo sa mga Aramean, “Hindi ito ang daan, ni ito ang lungsod. Sumunod kayo sa akin at dadalhin ko kayo sa taong hinahanap ninyo.” At dinala niya sila sa Samaria.
20 When they had entered Samaria, Elisha said, “O LORD, open the eyes of these men that they may see.” Then the LORD opened their eyes, and they looked around and discovered that they were in Samaria.
Nang dumating sila sa Samaria, sinabi ni Eliseo, “Buksan mo ang mga mata nila, Yahweh, nang makakita sila.” Binuksan ni Yahweh ang mga mata nila at nakakita sila, at nakita nilang nasa gitna sila ng lungsod ng Samaria.
21 And when the king of Israel saw them, he asked Elisha, “My father, shall I kill them? Shall I kill them?”
Nang makita sila ng hari ng Israel, sinabi niya kay Eliseo, “Ama, dapat ko na ba silang patayin? Papatayin ko na ba sila?”
22 “Do not kill them,” he replied. “Would you kill those you have captured with your own sword or bow? Set food and water before them, that they may eat and drink and then return to their master.”
Sumagot si Eliseo, “Huwag mo silang patayin. Papatayin mo ba silang mga kinuha mong bihag gamit ang espada at pana mo? Maghain ka ng tinapay at tubig sa kanila para makakain at makainom sila at makapunta sa kanilang panginoon.”
23 So the king prepared a great feast for them, and after they had finished eating and drinking, he sent them away, and they returned to their master. And the Aramean raiders did not come into the land of Israel again.
Kaya't naghain ng pagkain ang hari para sa kanila, at nang nakakain at nakainom sila, pinalaya niya sila at pinabalik sa kanilang panginoon. Ang mga grupo ng sundalong Aramean na iyon ay hindi bumalik sa lupain ng Israel nang mahabang panahon.
24 Some time later, Ben-hadad king of Aram assembled his entire army and marched up to besiege Samaria.
Matapos nito, tinipon ni Ben Hadad, hari ng Aram, ang lahat ng kaniyang hukbo at lumusob sa Samaria at binihag ito.
25 So there was a great famine in Samaria. Indeed, they besieged the city so long that a donkey’s head sold for eighty shekels of silver, and a quarter cab of dove’s dung sold for five shekels of silver.
Kaya't nagkaroon ng matinding taggutom sa Samaria. Binihag nila ito hanggang ang isang asno ay maibenta sa halagang walumpung pirasong pilak, at ikaapat na bahagi ng isang kab ng dumi ng kalapati sa halagang limang pirasong pilak.
26 As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried out to him, “Help me, my lord the king!”
Habang dumadaan ang hari ng Israel sa may pader, isang babae ang umiyak sa kaniya, sinasabing, “Tulungan mo ako, panginoong hari.”
27 He answered, “If the LORD does not help you, where can I find help for you? From the threshing floor or the winepress?”
Sinabi niya, “Kung hindi ka tinutulungan ni Yahweh, paano kita matutulungan? Mayroon bang nanggagaling sa giikan o pigaan ng alak?”
28 Then the king asked her, “What is the matter?” And she answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son, that we may eat him, and tomorrow we will eat my son.’
Sinabi pa ng hari, “Ano ang bumabagabag sa iyo?” Tumugon siya, “Sinabi ng babeng ito sa akin, 'Ibigay mo sa akin ang iyong anak para kainin natin ngayon, at bukas kakainin natin ang anak ko.'”
29 So we boiled my son and ate him, and the next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son, that we may eat him.’ But she had hidden her son.”
Kaya't nilaga namin ang anak ko at kinain ito, at sinabi ko sa kaniya kinabukasan, “'Ibigay mo sa akin ang iyong anak para kainin natin, pero tinago niya ito.”
30 When the king heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes. And as he passed by on the wall, the people saw the sackcloth under his clothes next to his skin.
Kaya nang narinig ng hari ang sinabi ng babae, pinunit niya ang kaniyang damit (dumadaan siya sa may pader), at tumingin ang mga tao at nakita na mayroon siyang sako bilang panloob na kasuotan.
31 He announced, “May God punish me, and ever so severely, if the head of Elisha son of Shaphat remains on his shoulders through this day!”
Sinabi niya, “Parusahan nawa ako ng Diyos, at lalong higit pa, kung matatapos ang araw na nananatili pa rin ang ulo ni Eliseo sa kaniya, anak ni Safat.”
32 Now Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. The king sent a messenger ahead, but before he arrived, Elisha said to the elders, “Do you see how this murderer has sent someone to cut off my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door to keep him out. Is not the sound of his master’s footsteps behind him?”
Pero nakaupo si Eliseo sa kaniyang bahay kasama ng mga nakatatanda. Nagpadala ng tao ang hari pero nang dumating ang mensahero kay Eliseo, sinabi niya sa mga nakatatanda, “Tingnan ninyo kung paanong nagpadala ng tao ang anak ng mamamatay-tao na ito para patayin ako? Kapag dumating siya, isara ninyo ang pinto at pigilan ninyong mabuksan niya ito. Hindi ba't kasunod niya ay ang mga yapak ng kaniyang panginoon?”
33 While Elisha was still speaking with them, the messenger came down to him. And the king said, “This calamity is from the LORD. Why should I wait for the LORD any longer?”
Habang nakikipag-usap siya sa kanila, dumating ang mensahero sa kaniya. Sinabi ng hari, “Ang suliraning ito ay galing kay Yahweh. Bakit kailangan ko pang maghintay kay Yahweh?”
