2 Samuel 3

1 Then a long struggle occurred between the house of Saul and the house of David, with David prospering and growing ever stronger, but the house of Saul decreasing daily.

Nagkaroon nga ng matagal na pagbabaka ang sangbahayan ni Saul at ang sangbahayan ni David: at si David ay lumakas ng lumakas, nguni't ang sangbahayan ni Saul ay humina ng humina.

2 And sons were born to David in Hebron. And his firstborn son was Amnon, from Ahinoam the Jezreelite.

At nagkaanak si David sa Hebron: at ang kaniyang panganay ay si Amnon kay Ahinoam na taga Jezreel;

3 And after him, there was Chileab, from Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel. Then the third was Absalom, the son of Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, the king of Geshur.

At ang kaniyang pangalawa ay si Chileab, kay Abigail na asawa ni Nabal na taga Carmelo; at ang ikatlo ay si Absalom na anak ni Maacha na anak ni Talmai na hari sa Gessur;

4 Then the fourth was Adonijah, the son of Haggith. And the fifth was Shephatiah, the son of Abital.

At ang ikaapat ay si Adonias na anak ni Haggith; at ang ikalima ay si Saphatias na anak ni Abital;

5 Also, the sixth was Ithream, from Eglah, the wife of David. These were born to David at Hebron.

At ang ikaanim ay si Jetream kay Egla, na asawa ni David. Ang mga ito'y ipinanganak kay David sa Hebron.

6 Then, while there was a battle between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner, the son of Ner, was reigning over the house of Saul.

At nangyari, samantalang may pagbabaka ang sangbahayan ni Saul at ang sangbahayan ni David, na si Abner ay nagpakalakas sa sangbahayan ni Saul.

7 Now Saul had a concubine named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. And Ishbosheth said to Abner,

Si Saul nga ay may babae na ang pangalan ay Rispa, na anak ni Aja: at sinabi ni Is-boseth kay Abner, Bakit ka sumiping sa babae ng aking ama?

8 “Why did you enter to the concubine of my father?” But he, being exceedingly angry at the words of Ishbosheth, said: “Am I the head of a dog against Judah this day? I have shown mercy to the house of Saul, your father, and to his brothers and friends. And I have not delivered you into the hands of David. And yet today you have sought me, so that you might rebuke me over a woman?

Nang magkagayo'y nagalit na mainam si Abner dahil sa mga salita ni Is-boseth, at sinabi, Ako ba'y isang ulo ng aso na nauukol sa Juda? Sa araw na ito ay nagpapakita ako ng kagandahang loob sa sangbahayan ni Saul na iyong ama, sa kaniyang mga kapatid, at sa kaniyang mga kaibigan, at hindi ka ibinigay sa kamay ni David, at gayon ma'y iyong ibinibintang sa araw na ito sa akin ang isang kasalanan tungkol sa babaing ito.

9 May God do these things to Abner, and may he add these other things, if, in the same way that the Lord swore to David, I do not do so with him:

Hatulan ng Dios si Abner, at lalo na, malibang gawin kong gayon sa kaniya, na gaya ng isinumpa ng Panginoon kay David;

10 that the kingdom be transferred from the house of Saul, and that the throne of David be elevated over Israel and over Judah, from Dan to Beersheba.”

Na ilipat ang kaharian mula sa sangbahayan ni Saul, at itatag ang luklukan ni David sa Israel, at sa Juda mula sa Dan hanggang sa Beer-seba.

11 And he was not able to respond anything to him, because he was in fear of him.

At hindi siya nakasagot kay Abner ng isang salita, sapagka't siya'y natakot sa kaniya.

12 Therefore, Abner sent messengers to David for himself, saying, “Whose is the land?” and so that they would say, “Make a friendship with me, and my hand will be with you, and I will lead back all of Israel to you.”

At si Abner ay nagsugo ng mga sugo kay David, sa ganang kaniya, na sinasabi naman, Makipagtipan ka sa akin, at, narito, ang aking kamay ay sasa iyo, upang dalhin sa iyo ang buong Israel.

13 And he said: “It is best. I will make a friendship with you. But one thing I ask of you, saying: You shall not see my face before you bring Michal, the daughter of Saul. And in this way, you shall come, and see me.”

At kaniyang sinabi, Mabuti; ako'y makikipagtipan sa iyo; nguni't isang bagay ang hinihiling ko sa iyo, na ito nga: huwag mong titingnan ang aking mukha, maliban na iyo munang dalhin si Michal na anak na babae ni Saul, pagparito mo upang tingnan ang aking mukha.

14 Then David sent messengers to Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, saying, “Restore my wife Michal, whom I espoused to myself for one hundred foreskins of the Philistines.”

At nagsugo ng mga sugo si David kay Is-boseth na anak ni Saul, na sinasabi, Isauli mo sa akin ang aking asawa na si Michal, na siyang aking pinakasalan sa halaga na isang daang balat ng masama ng mga Filisteo.

15 Therefore, Ishbosheth sent and took her from her husband Paltiel, the son of Laish.

At nagsugo si Is-boseth, at kinuha siya sa kaniyang asawa, kay Paltiel na anak ni Lais.

16 And her husband was following her, weeping, as far as Bahurim. And Abner said to him, “Go and return.” And he returned.

At ang kaniyang asawa'y yumaong kasama niya na umiyak habang siya'y yumayaon, at sumusunod sa kaniya hanggang sa Bahurim. Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Abner sa kaniya, Ikaw ay yumaon, bumalik ka: at siya'y bumalik.

17 Likewise, Abner sent word to the elders of Israel, saying: “As much yesterday as the day before, you were seeking David, so that he might reign over you.

At nakipag-usap si Abner sa mga matanda sa Israel, na sinasabi, Sa panahong nakaraan ay inyong hinanap si David upang maging hari sa inyo:

18 Therefore, accomplish it now. For the Lord has spoken to David, saying: ‘By the hand of my servant David, I will save my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and of all their enemies.’”

Ngayon nga ay inyong gawin: sapagka't sinalita ng Panginoon tungkol kay David, na sinasabi, Sa pamamagitan ng kamay ng aking lingkod na si David ay aking ililigtas ang aking bayang Israel sa kamay ng mga Filisteo at sa kamay ng lahat nilang mga kaaway.

19 Then Abner also spoke to Benjamin. And he went away, so that he might speak to David in Hebron all that would be pleasing to Israel and to all of Benjamin.

At nagsalita naman si Abner sa pakinig ng Benjamin: at si Abner naman ay naparoong nagsalita sa pakinig ni David sa Hebron ng lahat na inaakalang mabuti ng Israel, at ng buong sangbahayan ni Benjamin.

20 And he went to David in Hebron with twenty men. And David made a feast for Abner, and for his men who had arrived with him.

Sa gayo'y naparoon si Abner kay David sa Hebron, at dalawang pung lalake ang kasama niya. At ginawan ni David ng isang kasayahan si Abner at ang mga lalake na kasama niya.

21 And Abner said to David, “I will rise up, so that I may gather all of Israel to you, my lord the king, and so that I may enter into a pact with you, and so that you may reign over all, just as your soul desires.” Then, when David had led Abner away, and he had departed in peace,

At sinabi ni Abner kay David, Ako'y babangon at yayaon, at aking pipisanin ang buong Israel sa aking panginoon na hari, upang sila'y makipagtipan sa iyo, at upang iyong pagharian ng buong ninanasa ng iyong kaluluwa. At pinayaon ni David si Abner; at siya'y yumaong payapa.

22 immediately the servants of David and of Joab arrived, after having slain robbers, with exceedingly great spoils. But Abner was not with David in Hebron. For by then he had sent him away, and he had set out in peace.

At, narito, ang mga lingkod ni David at si Joab ay nagsidating na mula sa isang paghabol, at may dalang malaking samsam: nguni't si Abner ay wala kay David sa Hebron, sapagka't pinayaon niya siya, at siya'y yumaong payapa.

23 And Joab, and the entire army that was with him, had arrived afterward. And so, it was reported to Joab, explaining that Abner, the son of Ner, went to the king, and he dismissed him, and he went away in peace.

Nang si Joab at ang buong hukbo na kasama niya ay magsidating, kanilang isinaysay kay Joab, na sinasabi, Si Abner na anak ni Ner ay naparoon sa hari, at siya'y pinayaon at siya'y yumaong payapa.

24 And Joab entered to the king, and he said: “What have you done? Behold, Abner came to you. Why did you dismiss him, so that he has gone and departed?

Nang magkagayo'y naparoon si Joab sa hari, at nagsabi, Ano ang iyong ginawa? narito, si Abner ay naparito sa iyo; bakit mo pinayaon siya, at siya'y lubos na yumaon?

25 Do you not know, about Abner, the son of Ner, that he came to you for this, so that he might deceive you, and might know of your departure and your return, and so that he might know all that you do?”

Nalalaman mo si Abner na anak ni Ner ay naparito upang dayain ka at upang maalaman ang iyong paglabas at ang iyong pagpasok, at upang maalaman ang lahat na iyong ginagawa.

26 And so, Joab, going out from David, sent messengers after Abner, and he brought him back from the cistern of Sirah, without David knowing.

At nang lumabas si Joab na mula kay David, siya'y nagsugo ng mga sugo na sumunod kay Abner, at kanilang ibinalik siya na mula sa balon ng Sira: nguni't hindi nalalaman ni David.

27 And when Abner had returned to Hebron, Joab took him alone to the middle of the gate, so that he might speak to him, but with deceit. And there, he stabbed him in the groin, and he died, in revenge for the blood of Asahel, his brother.

At nang bumalik si Abner sa Hebron, ay dinala siya ni Joab na bukod sa gitna ng pintuang-bayan upang makipagsalitaan sa kaniya ng lihim, at sinaktan niya siya roon sa tiyan, na anopa't siya'y namatay, dahil sa dugo ni Asael na kaniyang kapatid.

28 And when David had heard of it, now that the matter was done, he said: “I and my kingdom are clean before the Lord, even forever, of the blood of Abner, the son of Ner.

At pagkatapos nang mabalitaan ni David, ay kaniyang sinabi, Ako at ang aking kaharian ay walang sala sa harap ng Panginoon magpakailan man sa dugo ni Abner na anak ni Ner:

29 And may it fall upon the head of Joab, and upon the entire house of his father. And may there not fail to be, in the house of Joab, one who suffers from a flow of seed, or one who is leprous, or one who is effeminate, or one who falls by the sword, or one who is in need of bread.”

Bumagsak sa ulo ni Joab, at sa buong sangbahayan ng kaniyang ama; at huwag na di magkaroon sa sangbahayan ni Joab ng isang inaagasan, o ng isang may ketong, o ng umaagapay sa isang tungkod, o nabubuwal sa pamamagitan ng tabak, o ng kinukulang ng tinapay.

30 And so, Joab and his brother Abishai killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon, during the battle.

Sa gayo'y pinatay si Abner ni Joab at ni Abisal na kaniyang kapatid, sapagka't pinatay niya ang kanilang kapatid na si Asael sa Gabaon, sa pagbabaka.

31 Then David said to Joab, and to all the people who were with him, “Tear your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn before the funeral procession of Abner.” Moreover, king David himself was following the casket.

At sinabi ni David kay Joab at sa buong bayan na kasama niya: Hapakin ninyo ang inyong mga suot, at magbigkis kayo ng magaspang na damit, at magluksa kayo sa harap ni Abner. At ang haring si David ay sumunod sa kabaong.

32 And when they had buried Abner in Hebron, king David lifted up his voice, and he wept over the burial mound of Abner. And all the people also wept.

At kanilang inilibing si Abner sa Hebron: at inilakas ng hari ang kaniyang tinig, at umiyak sa libingan ni Abner; at ang buong bayan ay umiyak.

33 And the king, mourning and lamenting Abner, said: “By no means has Abner died the way that cowards usually die.

At tinangisan ng hari si Abner, at sinabi, Marapat bang mamatay si Abner, na gaya ng pagkamatay ng isang mangmang?

34 Your hands are not bound, and your feet are not weighed down with fetters. But just as men often fall before the sons of iniquity, so you have fallen.” And while repeating this, all the people wept over him.

Ang iyong mga kamay ay hindi nangatatalian, o ang iyong mga paa man ay nangagagapos: Kung paanong nabubuwal ang isang lalake sa harap ng mga anak ng kasamaan ay gayon ka nabuwal. At iniyakan siyang muli ng buong bayan.

35 And when the entire multitude had arrived to take food with David, while it was still broad daylight, David swore, saying, “May God do these things to me, and may he add these other things, if I taste bread or anything else before the sun sets.”

At ang buong bayan ay naparoon upang pakanin ng tinapay si David samantalang araw pa; nguni't sumumpa si David, na sinasabi, Hatulan ng Dios ako, at lalo na, kung ako'y tumikim ng tinapay o ng anomang bagay hanggang sa ang araw ay lumubog.

36 And all the people heard it, and everything that the king did in the sight of the entire people was pleasing to them.

At nahalata ng buong bayan, at minagaling nila: palibhasa'y anomang ginagawa ng hari ay nakalulugod sa buong bayan.

37 And every common person, and all of Israel, realized on that day that the killing of Abner, the son of Ner, had not been done by the king.

Sa gayo'y naunawa ng buong bayan at ng buong Israel sa araw na yaon, na hindi sa hari ang pagpatay kay Abner na anak ni Ner.

38 The king also said to his servants: “Could you be ignorant that a leader and a very great man has fallen today in Israel?

At sinabi ng hari sa kaniyang mga bataan, Hindi ba ninyo nalalaman na may isang prinsipe at mahal na tao, na nabuwal sa araw na ito sa Israel?

39 But I am still tender, and yet anointed king. And these men of the sons of Zeruiah are too harsh for me. May the Lord repay whoever does evil in accord with his malice.”

At ako'y mahina sa araw na ito, bagaman pinahirang hari; at ang mga lalaking ito na mga anak ni Sarvia ay totoong mahirap kasamahin: gantihan nawa ng Panginoon ang manggagawang masama ayon sa kaniyang kasamaan.
