2 Samuel 17
1 Then Ahithophel said to Absalom: “I will choose for myself twelve thousand men, and rising up, I will pursue David this night.
Bukod dito'y sinabi ni Achitophel kay Absalom, Papiliin mo ako ng labing dalawang libong lalake, at ako'y titindig at aking hahabulin si David sa gabing ito:
2 And rushing against him, for he is weary and has weakened hands, I will strike him. And when all the people who are with him will have fled, I will strike down the king in isolation.
At ako'y darating sa kaniya samantalang siya'y pagod at may mahinang kamay, at akin siyang tatakutin: at ang buong bayan na nasa kaniya ay tatakas; at ang hari lamang ang aking sasaktan:
3 And I will lead back the entire people, returning in the manner of one man. For you are seeking only one man. And all the people shall be in peace.”
At aking ibabalik sa iyo ang buong bayan: ang lalake na iyong inuusig ay parang kung ang lahat ay nagbabalik: sa gayo'y ang buong bayan ay mapapayapa.
4 And this word pleased Absalom and all those greater by birth of Israel.
At ang sabi ay nakalugod na mabuti kay Absalom, at sa lahat ng matanda sa Israel.
5 But Absalom said, “Summon Hushai the Archite, and let us hear what he also may say.”
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Absalom, Tawagin mo naman ngayon si Husai na Arachita, at atin ding dinggin ang kaniyang sasabihin.
6 And when Hushai had gone to Absalom, Absalom said to him: “Ahithophel has spoken a word in this manner. Should we do it or not? What counsel do you give?”
At nang dumating si Husai kay Absalom, ay sinalita ni Absalom sa kaniya, na sinasabi, Nagsalita si Achitophel ng ganitong paraan: atin bang gagawin ang ayon sa kaniyang sabi? Kung hindi, magsalita ka.
7 And Hushai said to Absalom, “The counsel that Ahithophel has given at this time is not good.”
At sinabi ni Husai kay Absalom, Ang payo na ibinigay ni Achitophel ngayon ay hindi mabuti.
8 And again Hushai declared, “You know your father, and the men who are with him, to be very strong and bitter in soul, comparable to a bear raging in the forest when her young have been taken away. Moreover, your father is a man of war, and so he will not live among the people.
Sinabi ni Husai bukod sa rito, Iyong kilala ang iyong Ama at ang kaniyang mga lalake, na sila'y makapangyarihang lalake at sila'y nagngingitngit sa kanilang mga pagiisip na gaya ng isang oso na ninakawan sa parang ng kaniyang mga anak: at ang iyong ama ay lalaking mangdidigma, at hindi tatahan na kasama ng bayan.
9 Perhaps now he hides in pits, or in another place, wherever he wills. And if by chance, in the beginning, anyone may fall, whoever hears about it, no matter what he has heard, will say, ‘There is a slaughter among the people who were following Absalom.’
Narito, siya'y nagkukubli ngayon sa isang hukay o sa ibang dako: at mangyayari, na pagka ang ilan sa kanila ay nabuwal sa pasimula, sinomang makarinig ay magsasabi, May patayan sa bayang sumusunod kay Absalom.
10 And even the very strong, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will be weakened out of fear. For all the people of Israel know your father to be a valiant man, and that all who are with him are robust.
At pati ng matapang, na ang puso ay gaya ng puso ng leon, ay lubos na manglulupaypay: sapagka't kilala ng buong Israel na ang iyong ama ay makapangyarihang lalake, at sila na nasa kaniya ay matatapang na lalake.
11 But this seems to me to be the right counsel: Let all of Israel be gathered to you, from Dan to Beersheba, like the sand of the sea which is innumerable. And you will be in their midst.
Nguni't aking ipinapayo na ang buong Israel ay mapisan sa iyo, mula sa Dan hanggang sa Beer-seba, na gaya ng buhangin na nasa tabi ng dagat ang dami; at ikaw ay pumaroon sa pagbabaka ng iyong sariling pagkatao.
12 And we shall rush against him in whatever place he will have been found. And we shall cover him, as the dew usually falls upon the ground. And we shall not leave behind even one of the men who are with him.
Sa gayo'y aabutin natin siya sa ibang dako na kasusumpungan natin sa kaniya, at tayo'y babagsak sa kaniya na gaya ng hamog na lumalapag sa lupa: at sa kaniya at sa lahat ng mga lalake na nasa kaniya ay hindi tayo magiiwan kahit isa.
13 And if he will enter into any city, all of Israel shall encircle that city with ropes. And we will pull it into the torrent, so that there may not be found even one small stone from it.”
Bukod dito, kung siya'y umurong sa isang bayan, ang buong Israel ay magdadala nga ng mga lubid sa bayang yaon, at ating babatakin sa ilog, hanggang sa walang masumpungan doon kahit isang maliit na bato.
14 And Absalom, with all the men of Israel, said: “The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel.” So, by an act of the Lord, the useful counsel of Ahithophel was defeated, in order that the Lord might lead evil over Absalom.
At si Absalom at ang lahat na lalake sa Israel ay nagsipagsabi, Ang payo ni Husai na Arachita ay lalong mabuti kay sa payo ni Achitophel. Sapagka't ipinasiya ng Panginoon na masansala ang mabuting payo ni Achitophel, upang dalhin ng Panginoon ang kasamaan kay Absalom.
15 And Hushai said to the priests, Zadok and Abiathar: “Ahithophel gave counsel to Absalom and to the elders of Israel in this and that manner. And I gave counsel in such and such a manner.
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Husai kay Sadoc at kay Abiathar na mga saserdote. Ganito't ganito ang ipinayo ni Achitophel kay Absalom at sa mga matanda sa Israel; at ganito't ganito ang aking ipinayo.
16 Now therefore, send quickly, and report to David, saying: ‘You shall not stay this night in the plains of the desert. Instead, without delay, go across. Otherwise the king may be engulfed, and all the people who are with him.’”
Ngayon nga'y magsugo kang madali, at saysayin kay David, na sabihin, Huwag kang tumigil ng gabing ito sa mga tawiran sa ilang, kundi sa anomang paraan ay tumawid ka: baka ang hari ay mapatay at ang buong bayan na nasa kaniya.
17 But Jonathan and Ahimaaz remained beside the Fountain of Rogel. And a handmaid went away and reported it to them. And they set out, so that they might carry the report to king David. For they could not be seen, nor enter into the city.
Si Jonathan at si Ahimaas nga ay nagsitigil sa tabi ng Enrogel; at isang alilang babae ang pinaparoon at pinapagsaysay sa kanila; at sila'y nagsiparoon, at isinaysay sa haring kay David: sapagka't sila'y hindi makapakitang pumasok sa bayan.
18 But a certain young man saw them, and he revealed it to Absalom. Yet truly, they traveled quickly and entered into the house of a certain man in Bahurim, who had a well in his court, and they descended into it.
Nguni't nakita sila ng isang bata, at isinaysay kay Absalom: at sila'y kapuwa lumabas na nagmadali, at sila'y nagsiparoon sa bahay ng isang lalake sa Bahurim, na may isang balon sa kaniyang looban; at sila'y nagsilusong doon.
19 Then a woman took and spread a covering over the mouth of the well, as if drying hulled barley. And so the matter was hidden.
At ang babae ay kumuha ng isang panakip at inilatag sa bunganga ng balon, at nilagyan ng mga trigo na giniik; at walang bagay na naalaman.
20 And when the servants of Absalom had entered into the house, they said to the woman, “Where is Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” And the woman responded to them, “They passed through hurriedly, after they had taken a little water.” But those who were seeking them, when they had not found them, returned to Jerusalem.
At ang mga bataan ni Absalom ay nagsidating sa babae sa bahay; at kanilang sinabi, Saan nandoon si Ahimaas at si Jonathan? At sinabi ng babae sa kanila, Sila'y tumawid sa batis ng tubig. At nang kanilang mahanap at hindi nila masumpungan ay bumalik sila sa Jerusalem.
21 And when they had gone, they ascended from the well. And traveling, they reported to king David, and they said: “Rise up, and go across the river quickly. For Ahithophel has given a counsel of this kind against you.”
At nangyari, pagkatapos na sila'y makaalis, na sila'y nagsilabas sa balon, at nagsiyaon at isinaysay sa haring kay David: at kanilang sinabi kay David, Kayo'y magsibangon, at magsitawid na madali sa tubig: sapagka't ganito ang ipinayo ni Achitophel laban sa inyo.
22 Therefore, David rose up, and all the people who were with him, and they crossed over the Jordan, until first light. And not even one of them was left behind who had not crossed over the river.
Nang magkagayo'y nagsibangon si David, at ang buong bayan na kasama niya, at sila'y tumawid sa Jordan; sa pagbubukang liwayway ay walang naiwan kahit isa sa kanila na hindi tumawid sa Jordan.
23 Then Ahithophel, seeing that his counsel had not been done, saddled his donkey, and he rose up and went away to his own house and to his own city. And putting his house in order, he killed himself by hanging. And he was buried in the sepulcher of his father.
At nang makita ni Achitophel na ang kaniyang payo ay hindi sinunod, kaniyang siniyahan ang kaniyang asno, at bumangon, at umuwi siya sa bahay, sa kaniyang bayan at kaniyang inayos ang kaniyang bahay, at nagbigti; at siya'y namatay, at nalibing sa libingan ng kaniyang ama.
24 Then David went to the encampment, and Absalom crossed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
Nang magkagayon ay naparoon si David sa Mahanaim. At si Absalom ay tumawid sa Jordan, siya at ang lahat na lalake ng Israel na kasama niya.
25 Truly, Absalom appointed Amasa in place of Joab over the army. Now Amasa was the son of a man who was called Ithra of Jezrael, who entered to Abigail, the daughter of Nahash, the sister of Zeruiah, who was the mother of Joab.
At inilagay ni Absalom si Amasa sa hukbo na kahalili ni Joab. Si Amasa nga ay anak ng isang lalake na ang pangalan ay Itra, na Israelita, na sumiping kay Abigal na anak na babae ni Naas, na kapatid ni Sarvia, na ina ni Joab.
26 And Israel made camp with Absalom in the land of Gilead.
At ang Israel at si Absalom ay nagsihantong sa lupain ng Galaad.
27 And when David had arrived at the encampment, Shobi, the son of Nahash, from Rabbah, of the sons of Ammon, and Machir, the son of Ammiel of Lodebar, and Barzillai, the Gileadite of Rogelim,
At nangyari, ng si David ay dumating sa Mahanaim, na si Sobi na anak ni Naas na taga Rabba sa mga anak ni Ammon, at si Machir na anak ni Ammiel na taga Lodebar, at si Barzillai na Galaadita na taga Rogelim.
28 brought to him bedding, and tapestries, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and meal, and cooked grain, and beans, and lentils, and fried chick peas,
Ay nangagdala ng mga higaan, at mga mangkok, at mga sisidlang lupa, at trigo, at sebada, at harina, at butil na sinangag, at habas, at lentehas, at pagkain na sinangag.
29 and honey, and butter, sheep and fattened calves. And they gave these to David and to the people who were with him to eat. For they suspected that the people were faint with hunger and thirst in the desert.
At pulot pukyutan, at mantekilya, at mga tupa, at keso ng baka para kay David, at sa bayan na kasama niya, upang kanin; sapagka't kanilang sinabi, Ang bayan ay gutom, at pagod, at uhaw sa ilang.
