Judges 2
1 Now the angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, I took you out of Egypt, guiding you into the land which I gave by an oath to your fathers; and I said, My agreement with you will never be broken by me:
At sumampa ang anghel ng Panginoon sa Bochim mula sa Gilgal. At kaniyang sinabi, Kayo'y pinaahon ko mula sa Egipto, at dinala ko kayo sa lupain na aking isinumpa sa inyong mga magulang; at sinabi ko, Kailan ma'y hindi ko sisirain ang aking tipan sa inyo:
2 And you are to make no agreement with the people of this land; you are to see that their altars are broken down: but you have not given ear to my voice: what have you done?
At huwag kayong makikipagtipan sa mga taga lupaing ito; inyong iwawasak ang kanilang mga dambana. Nguni't hindi ninyo dininig ang aking tinig: bakit ginawa ninyo ito?
3 And so I have said, I will not send them out from before you; but they will be a danger to you, and their gods will be a cause of falling to you.
Kaya't aking sinabi rin, Hindi ko sila palalayasin sa harap ninyo; kundi sila'y magiging parang mga tinik sa inyong mga tagiliran, at ang kanilang mga dios ay magiging silo sa inyo.
4 Now on hearing these words which the angel of the Lord said to all the children of Israel, the people gave themselves up to loud crying and weeping.
At nangyari, pagkasalita ng anghel ng Panginoon ng mga salitang ito sa lahat ng mga anak ni Israel, na inilakas ng bayan ang kanilang tinig at umiyak.
5 And they gave that place the name of Bochim, and made offerings there to the Lord.
At kanilang tinawag ang pangalan ng dakong yaon na Bochim; at sila'y naghain doon sa Panginoon.
6 And Joshua let the people go away, and the children of Israel went, every man to his heritage, to take the land for themselves.
Nang mapayaon nga ni Josue ang bayan, pumaroon ang mga anak ni Israel, bawa't isa, sa kaniyang mana, upang ariin ang lupa.
7 And the people were true to the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the responsible men who were still living after the death of Joshua, and had seen all the great work of the Lord which he had done for Israel.
At naglingkod ang bayan sa Panginoon sa lahat ng mga araw ni Josue, at sa lahat ng mga araw ng mga matandang natirang nabuhay kay Josue, na nakakita ng mga dakilang gawa ng Panginoon, na kaniyang ginawa sa Israel.
8 And death came to Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, he being a hundred and ten years old.
At si Josue na anak ni Nun, na lingkod ng Panginoon, ay namatay, na may isang daan at sangpung taon ang gulang.
9 And they put his body in the earth in the land of his heritage in Timnath-heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim to the north of Mount Gaash.
At kanilang inilibing siya sa hangganan ng kaniyang mana, sa Timnath-heres, sa lupaing maburol ng Ephraim, sa hilagaan ng bundok Gaas.
10 And in time death overtook all that generation; and another generation came after them, having no knowledge of the Lord or of the things which he had done for Israel.
At ang buong lahing yaon ay nalakip din sa kanilang mga magulang; at doo'y may ibang lahing bumangon pagkamatay nila, na hindi nakilala ang Panginoon, ni ang mga gawa na kaniyang ginawa sa Israel.
11 And the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of the Lord and became servants to the Baals;
At ginawa ng mga anak ni Israel ang masama sa paningin ng Panginoon, at naglingkod sa mga Baal:
12 And they gave up the Lord, the God of their fathers, who had taken them out of the land of Egypt, and went after other gods, the gods of the peoples round about them, worshipping them and moving the Lord to wrath.
At kanilang pinabayaan ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng kanilang mga magulang, na naglabas sa kanila sa lupain ng Egipto, at sumunod sa ibang mga dios, sa mga dios ng mga bayan na nasa palibot nila, at sila'y yumukod sa mga yaon: at kanilang minungkahi ang Panginoon sa galit.
13 And they gave up the Lord, and became the servants of Baal and the Astartes.
At kanilang pinabayaan ang Panginoon, at naglingkod kay Baal at kay Astaroth.
14 And the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he gave them up into the hands of those who violently took their property, and into the hands of their haters all round them, so that they were forced to give way before them.
At ang galit ng Panginoon ay nagalab laban sa Israel, at kaniyang ibinigay sila sa kamay ng mga mangloloob na lumoob sa kanila; at kaniyang ipinagbili sila sa mga kamay ng kanilang mga kaaway sa palibot, na anopa't sila'y hindi makatayong maluwat sa harap ng kanilang mga kaaway.
15 Wherever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord had taken his oath it would be; and things became very hard for them.
Saan man sila yumaon, ang kamay ng Panginoon ay laban sa kanila sa ikasasama nila, gaya ng sinalita ng Panginoon, at gaya ng isinumpa sa kanila ng Panginoon: sila'y nagipit na mainam.
16 Then the Lord gave them judges, as their saviours from the hands of those who were cruel to them.
At nagbangon ang Panginoon ng mga hukom, na nagligtas sa kanila sa kamay niyaong mga lumoloob sa kanila.
17 But still they would not give ear to their judges, but went after other gods and gave them worship; quickly turning from the way in which their fathers had gone, keeping the orders of the Lord; but they did not do so.
At gayon ma'y hindi nila dininig ang kanilang mga hukom: sapagka't sila'y sumamba sa ibang mga dios, at kanilang niyukuran ang mga yaon: sila'y nagpakaligaw na madali sa daan na nilakaran ng kanilang mga magulang, na sumunod ng mga utos ng Panginoon; nguni't hindi sila gumawa ng gayon.
18 And whenever the Lord gave them judges, then the Lord was with the judge, and was their saviour from the hands of their haters all the days of the judge; for the Lord was moved by their cries of grief because of those who were cruel to them.
At nang ipagbangon sila ng Panginoon ng mga hukom, ang Panginoon ay suma hukom, at iniligtas sila sa kamay ng kanilang mga kaaway sa lahat ng mga araw ng hukom: sapagka't nagsisi ang Panginoon dahil sa kanilang daing, dahil doon sa mga pumighati sa kanila at nagpakalupit sa kanila.
19 But whenever the judge was dead, they went back and did more evil than their fathers, going after other gods, to be their servants and their worshippers; giving up nothing of their sins and their hard-hearted ways.
Nguni't nangyari pagkamatay ng hukom, na sila'y tumalikod at lalong sumama kay sa kanilang mga magulang sa pagsunod sa ibang mga dios, upang maglingkod sa kanila, at yumukod sa kanila; sila'y hindi naglikat sa kanilang mga gawa, ni sa kanilang tampalasang lakad.
20 And the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he said, Because this nation has not been true to my agreement which I made with their fathers, and has not given ear to my voice;
At ang galit ng Panginoon ay nagalab laban sa Israel; at kaniyang sinabi, Sapagka't sinalangsang ng bansang ito ang aking tipan na aking iniutos sa kanilang mga magulang, at hindi dininig ang aking tinig;
21 From now on I will not go on driving out from before them any of the nations which at the death of Joshua were still living in this land;
Hindi ko na naman palalayasin pa sa harap nila ang sinoman ng mga bansang iniwan ni Josue nang siya'y mamatay;
22 In order to put Israel to the test, and see if they will keep the way of the Lord, walking in it as their fathers did, or not.
Upang sa pamamagitan nila'y aking masubok ang Israel, kung kanilang susundin o hindi ang daan ng Panginoon upang lakaran nila, na gaya ng inilakad ng kanilang mga magulang.
23 So the Lord let those nations go on living in the land, not driving them out quickly, and did not give them up into the hands of Joshua.
Kaya't iniwan ng Panginoon ang mga bansang yaon, na hindi niya pinalayas silang biglaan; ni ibinigay sila sa kamay ni Josue.
