2 Chronicles 18
1 Therefore, Jehoshaphat was wealthy and very famous, and he was joined by affinity to Ahab.
Ngayon, nagkaroon ng maraming kayamanan at karangalan si Jehoshafat. Umanib siya kay Ahab sa pamamagitan ng pagpapakasal ng isa sa kaniyang pamilya sa anak na babae ni Ahab.
2 And after some years, he descended to him in Samaria. And upon his arrival, Ahab slaughtered very many sheep and oxen, for him and for the people who had arrived with him. And he persuaded him that he should ascend against Ramoth Gilead.
Pagkatapos ng ilang taon, bumaba siya sa Samaria kung nasaan si Ahab. Nagkatay si Ahab ng maraming tupa at mga baka para sa kaniya at para sa mga taong kasama niya. Hinikayat din siya ni Ahab na lusubin ang Ramot-gilead kasama niya.
3 And Ahab, the king of Israel, said to Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, “Come with me to Ramoth Gilead.” And he answered him: “As I am, so also are you. As your people are, so also are my people. And we will be with you in war.”
Sinabi ni Ahab, na hari ng Israel, kay Jehoshafat, na hari ng Juda, “Sasama ka ba sa akin sa Ramot-gilead?” Sumagot si Jehoshafat sa kaniya, “Ako ay gaya mo at ang aking mga tao ay gaya ng iyong mga tao, sasamahan namin kayo sa digmaan.”
4 And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Consult, I beg you, the word of the Lord for the present circumstances.”
Sinabi ni Jehoshafat sa hari ng Israel, “Pakiusap alamin mo muna ang salita ni Yahweh para sa kasagutan.”
5 And so the king of Israel gathered together four hundred men of the prophets, and he said to them: “Should we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or should we be quieted?” But they said, “Ascend, and God will deliver into the hand of the king.”
Pagkatapos, tinipon ng hari ng Israel ang mga propeta, apat na raang lalaki, at sinabi sa kanila, “Dapat ba tayong pumunta sa Ramot-gilead upang makipagdigma o hindi dapat?” Sinabi nila, “Sumalakay kayo, sapagkat ibibigay ng Diyos sa hari ang tagumpay.”
6 And Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not a prophet of the Lord here, so that we may inquire of him as well?”
Ngunit sinabi ni Jehoshafat, “Wala na bang ibang propeta ni Yahweh dito na maaari nating hingian ng payo?
7 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “There is one man, from whom we would be able to ask the will of the Lord. But I hate him, for he never prophesies good to me, but at all times evil. And it is Micaiah, the son of Imlah.” And Jehoshaphat said, “You should not speak in this manner, O king.”
Sinabi ng hari ng Israel kay Jehoshafat, “Mayroon pang isang tao na maaari nating hingian ng payo ni Yahweh, si Micaias na anak ni Imla ngunit kinamumuhian ko siya dahil kahit kailan ay hindi siya nagpahayag ng magandang propesiya tungkol sa akin kundi mga paghihirap lamang.” Ngunit sinabi ni Jehoshafat, “Huwag naman sanang sabihin ng hari iyan.”
8 Therefore, the king of Israel called one of the eunuchs, and said to him: “Quickly, summon Micaiah, the son of Imlah.”
Pagkatapos, tinawag ng hari ng Israel ang isang opisyal at iniutos, “Dalhin mo dito si Micaias na anak ni Imla, ngayon din.”
9 Now the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were both sitting upon their thrones, clothed in royal vestments. And they were sitting in an open area, beside the gate of Samaria. And all the prophets were prophesying before them.
Ngayon ang hari ng Israel at si Jehoshafat na hari ng Juda ay nakaupo sa kani-kanilang trono, suot ang kanilang damit na panghari, sa lantad na lugar sa pasukan ng tarangkahan ng Samaria, at lahat ng propeta ay nagpapahayag ng propesiya sa harap nila.
10 Truly, Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made for himself horns of iron, and he said: “Thus says the Lord: With these, you shall threaten Syria, until you crush it.”
Si Zedekias na anak ni Quenaana ay gumawa ng mga sungay na bakal at sinabi, “Sinabi ni Yahweh ito: 'Sa pamamagitan nito itutulak mo ang mga taga-Aram hanggang sa sila ay maubos.'”
11 And all the prophets prophesied similarly, and they said: “Ascend against Ramoth Gilead, and you shall prosper, and the Lord will deliver them into the hand of the king.”
At pareho ang ipinahayag ng lahat ng propeta, sinasabi, “Salakayin ninyo ang Ramot-gilead at magtagumpay, sapagkat ibinigay ito ni Yahweh sa kamay ng hari.”
12 Then the messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah said to him: “Lo, the words of all the prophets, with one mouth, announce good to the king. Therefore, I ask you that you not dissent from them in your word, and that you speak prosperity.”
Ang mensahero na pumunta upang tawagin si Micaias ay nagsalita sa kaniya, sinasabi, “Ngayon tingnan mo, ang mga salita ng mga propeta ay naghahayag ng mabubuting bagay sa hari na iisa ang sinasabi. Pakiusap hayaan mong ang iyong salita ay maging tulad ng salita ng isa sa kanila at sabihin mo ang mabubuting bagay.”
13 And Micaiah responded to him, “As the Lord lives, whatever my God will say to me, the same shall I speak.”
Sumagot si Micaias, “Sa ngalan ni Yahweh na buhay magpakailanman, ang sinasabi ng Diyos ang aking sasabihin.”
14 Therefore, he went to the king. And the king said to him, “Micaiah, should we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or should we be quieted?” And he responded to him: “Ascend. For everything will come to prosperity, and the enemies will be delivered into your hands.”
Nang dumating siya sa hari, sinabi ng hari sa kaniya, “Micaias, dapat ba kaming pumunta sa Ramot-gilead upang makipagdigma o hindi?” Sumagot si Micaias sa kaniya, “Sumalakay kayo at maging matagumpay! Sapagkat ito ay magiging malaking tagumpay.”
15 And the king said, “Again and again, I bind you by an oath, so that you will not speak to me except what is true in the name of the Lord!”
Pagkatapos, sinabi ng hari sa kaniya, “Ilang beses ba kitang dapat utusan na mangakong wala kang ibang sasabihin sa akin kundi ang katotohanan sa ngalan ni Yahweh?”
16 Then he said: “I saw all of Israel scattered amid the mountains, like sheep without a shepherd. And the Lord said: ‘These have no masters. Let each one return in peace to his own house.’”
Kaya sinabi ni Micaias, “Nakita ko ang lahat ng Israel na nagkalat sa mga bundok gaya ng tupa na walang pastol, at sinabi ni Yahweh, 'Ang mga ito ay walang pastol. Hayaang umuwi ang bawat tao sa kaniyang bahay ng payapa.'”
17 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “Did I not tell you that this one would not prophesy to me anything good, but only what is evil?”
Kaya sinabi ng hari ng Israel kay Jehoshafat, “Hindi ba sinabi ko sa iyo na hindi siya maghahayag ng magandang propesiya tungkol sa akin, kundi kapahamakan lamang?”
18 Then he said: “Therefore, listen to the word of the Lord. I saw the Lord sitting upon his throne, and the entire army of heaven was standing beside him, on the right and on the left.
Pagkatapos ay sinabi ni Micaias, “Kaya dapat pakinggan ninyong lahat ang salita ni Yahweh: Nakita ko si Yahweh na nakaupo sa kaniyang trono, at lahat ng hukbo ng langit ay nakatayo sa kaniyang kanang kamay at sa kaniyang kaliwa.
19 And the Lord said: ‘Who will deceive Ahab, the king of Israel, so that he may ascend and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ And when one spoke in one way, and another in another way,
Sinabi ni Yahweh, “Sino ang mag-uudyok kay Ahab na hari ng Israel upang siya ay pumunta at bumagsak sa Ramot-gilead?' At sumagot ang isa sa ganitong paraan, at ang isa pa ay sumagot sa ganoong paraan.
20 there came forward a spirit, and he stood before the Lord and said, ‘I will deceive him.’ And the Lord said to him, ‘In what way will you deceive him?’
Pagkatapos ay pumunta sa harap ang espiritu, tumayo sa harap ni Yahweh at sinabi, 'Ako ang mag-uudyok sa kaniya.' Sinabi ni Yahweh sa kaniya, 'Paano?'
21 And he responded, ‘I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the Lord said: ‘You will deceive and prevail. Go forth and do so.’
Sumagot ang espiritu, 'Lalabas ako at magiging isang sinungaling na espiritu sa bibig ng lahat ng kaniyang mga propeta.' Sumagot si Yahweh, 'Ikaw ang mag-uudyok sa kaniya at magtatagumpay ka. Pumunta ka na ngayon at gawin mo.'
22 Therefore now, behold: the Lord gave a lying spirit to the mouth of all your prophets, and the Lord has spoken evil about you.”
Ngayon tingnan mo, naglagay si Yahweh ng sinungaling na espiritu sa bibig ng mga propeta mo, at iniutos ni Yahweh ang kapahamakan para sa iyo.”
23 Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, approached, and he struck Micaiah on the jaw, and he said: “In what way did the Spirit of the Lord depart from me, so that he would speak to you?”
Pagkatapos, lumapit si Zedekias na anak ni Quenaana at sinampal sa pisngi si Micaias, at sinabi, “Saan dumaan ang Espiritu ni Yahweh na umalis mula sa akin upang magsalita sa iyo?”
24 And Micaiah said: “You yourself shall see it, in that day, when you will enter a room within a room, so that you may be hidden.”
Sinabi ni Micaias, “Tingnan mo, malalaman mo iyan sa araw na ikaw ay tatakbo sa pinakaloob na silid upang magtago.”
25 Then the king of Israel instructed, saying: “Take Micaiah, and lead him to Amon, the leader of the city, and to Joash, the son of Amalech.
Sinabi ng hari ng Israel sa ilang utusan, “Kayong mga tao, hulihin ninyo si Micaias at dalhin kay Ammon, na gobernador ng lungsod, at kay Joas na aking anak.
26 And you shall say: ‘Thus says the king: Send this man to prison, and give to him a little bread and a little water, until I return in peace.’”
Sasabihin ninyo sa kaniya, 'Sinabi ng hari, Ikulong mo ang lalaking ito at pakainin siya ng kaunting tinapay at kaunting tubig lamang, hanggang sa makabalik ako nang ligtas.'”
27 And Micaiah said, “If you will have returned in peace, the Lord has not spoken by me.” And he said, “May all the people listen.”
Pagkatapos ay sinabi ni Micaias, “Kung babalik ka nang ligtas, kung gayon ay hindi nagsalita si Yahweh sa pamamagitan ko.” At idinagdag niya, “Makinig kayo rito, lahat kayong mga tao.”
28 And so, the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, ascended against Ramoth Gilead.
Kaya si Ahab, ang hari ng Israel, at si Jehoshafat, ang hari ng Juda, ay nakipaglaban sa Ramot-gilead.
29 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “I will change my clothing, and in this way I will go into battle. But you should be clothed in your own garments.” And the king of Israel, having changed his clothing, went to war.
Sinabi ng hari ng Israel kay Jehoshafat, “Magbabalatkayo ako at pupunta sa labanan, ngunit isuot mo ang iyong damit na panghari.” Kaya nagbalatkayo ang hari ng Israel, at pumunta sa labanan.
30 Now the king of Syria had instructed the commanders of his horsemen, saying, “You shall not fight against the least or the greatest, but only against the king of Israel.”
Nagutos ang hari ng Aram sa mga kapitan ng kaniyang karwahe, sinasabi, “Huwag ninyong salakayin ang mga hindi mahalaga o mahalagang kawal. Sa halip, salakayin lamang ninyo ang hari ng Israel.”
31 And so, when the leaders of the horsemen had seen Jehoshaphat, they said, “This one is the king of Israel.” And while fighting, they surrounded him. But he cried out to the Lord, and he assisted him, and he turned them away from him.
At nangyari, nang nakita ng mga kapitan ng karwahe si Jehoshafat, sinabi nila, “Iyon ang hari ng Israel.” Umikot sila upang salakayin siya, ngunit sumigaw si Jehoshafat, at tinulungan siya ni Yahweh. Pinaalis sila ni Yahweh palayo sa kaniya.
32 For when the commanders of the horsemen had seen that he was not the king of Israel, they left him.
At nangyari, nang nakita ng mga kapitan ng karwahe na hindi iyon ang hari ng Israel, tumigil sila sa paghahabol sa kaniya.
33 Then it happened that one of the people shot an arrow indiscriminately, and it struck the king of Israel between the neck and the shoulder. And so he said to his chariot driver: “Turn your hand, and lead me away from the battle line. For I have been wounded.”
Ngunit may isang taong humatak sa kaniyang pana nang sapalaran at tinamaan ang hari ng Israel, sa pagitan ng pinagdugtungan ng kaniyang baluti. Pagkatapos ay sinabi ni Ahab sa nagpapatakbo ng kaniyang karwahe, “Lumiko ka at dalhin mo ako palayo sa labanan, sapagkat malubha akong nasugatan.”
34 And the fight ended on that day. But the king of Israel was standing in his chariot facing the Syrians, even until evening. And he died when the sun set.
Lumala ang labanan sa araw na iyon, at ang hari ng Israel ay nanatili sa kaniyang karwahe na nakaharap sa mga taga-Aram hanggang gabi. Nang lumulubog na ang araw, namatay siya.
