2 Kings 3
1 And Joram the son of Achab reigned over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Josaphat king of Juda. And he reigned twelve years.
Ngayon sa ikalabing walong taon na paghahari ni haring Jehosafat hari ng Juda, si Joram anak ni Ahab ay nagsimulang maghari sa buong Israel sa Samaria; naghari siya ng labindalawang taon.
2 And he did evil before the Lord, but not like his father and his mother: for he took away the statues of Baal, which his father had made.
Gumawa siya ng kasamaan sa paningin ni Yahweh, pero hindi gaya ng kaniyang ama at ina; dahil tinanggal niya ang sagradong posteng bato ni Baal na ginawa ng kaniyang ama.
3 Nevertheless he stuck to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, nor did he depart from them.
Gayun pa man, sumunod siya sa mga kasalanan ni Jeroboam anak ni Nebat, na nagsanhi sa Israel na magkasala; hindi siya lumayo sa kanila.
4 Now Mesa, king of Moab, nourished many sheep, and he paid to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs, and a hundred thousand rams with their fleeces.
Ngayon, nagparami ng tupa si Mesa hari ng Moab. Kailangan niyang magbigay sa hari ng Israel ng 100, 000 kordero at 100, 000 ng balahibo ng tupa.
5 And when Achab was dead, he broke the league which he had made with the king of Israel.
Pero pagkatapos mamatay ni haring Ahab, nagrebelde ang hari ng Moab laban sa hari ng Israel.
6 And king Joram went out that day from Samaria, and mustered all Israel.
Kaya sa oras na iyon, iniwan si Haring Joram ang Samaria para tipunin ang mga Israelita para sa digmaan.
7 And he sent to Josaphat king of Juda, saying: The king of Moab is revolted from me, come with me against him to battle. And he answered: I will come up: he that is mine, is thine: my people, thy people: and my horses, thy horses.
Nagpadala siya ng mensahe kay Jehosafat hari ng Juda, nagsasabing, “nagrebelde ang hari ng Moab laban sa akin. Sasamahan mo ba ako sa labanan sa Moab?” Sumagot si Jehosafat, “Pupunta ako. Ikaw at ako ay iisa, ang aking bayan ay iyong bayan, ang aking mga kabayo ay iyong mga kabayo.”
8 And he said: Which way shall we go up? But he answered: By the desert of Edom.
Pagkatapos kaniyang sinabi, “Saang daanan tayo lulusob?” sumagot si Jehosafat, “Sa daanan sa disyerto ng Edom.”
9 So the king of Israel, and the king of Juda, and the king of Edom went, and they fetched a compass of seven days’ journey, and there was no water for the army, and for the beasts, that followed them.
Kaya ang mga hari ng Israel, Juda, at Edom ay naglakad nang halos paikot ng pitong araw. Walang tubig ang matagpuan para sa mga hukbo, ni para sa mga kabayo o ibang mga hayop.
10 And the king of Israel said: Alas, alas, alas, the Lord hath gathered us three kings together, to deliver us into the hands of Moab!
Kaya sinabi ng hari ng Israel, “Ano ito? Tinawag ba ni Yahweh ang tatlong hari ng magkakasama para talunin ng Moab?”
11 And Josaphat said: Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may beseech the Lord by him? And one of the servants of the king of Israel answered: Here is Eliseus the son of Saphat, who poured water on the hands of Elias.
Pero sinabi ni Jehosafat, “Wala ba ritong propeta ni Yahweh, para makapagsangguni tayo kay Yahweh sa pamamagitan niya?” Isa sa mga alipin ng hari ng Israel ang sumagot at sinabi, “Nandito si Eliseo anak ni Safat, ang nagbuhos ng tubig sa mga kamay ni Elias.”
12 And Josaphat said: The word of the Lord is with him. And the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, and the king of Edom went down to him.
Sinabi ni Jehosafat, “Nasasakaniya ang salita ni Yahweh.” Kaya pinuntahan siya ni Jehosafat hari ng Israel, at ng hari ng Edom.
13 And Eliseus said to the king of Israel: What have I to do with thee? go to the prophets of thy father, and thy mother. And the king of Israel said to him: Why hath the Lord gathered together these three kings, to deliver them into the hands of Moab?
Sinabi ni Eliseo sa hari ng Israel, “Ano ang kinalaman ko sa iyo? Pumunta ka sa mga propeta ng iyong ama at ina.” Kaya sinabi ng hari ng Israel sa kaniya, “Hindi, dahil tinawag kaming tatlong hari ni Yahweh, para matalo kami ng Moab.”
14 And Eliseus said to him: As the Lord of hosts liveth, in whose sight I stand, if I did not reverence the face of Josaphat king of Juda, I would not have hearkened to thee, nor looked on thee.
Sumagot si Eliseo, “Hanggang nabubuhay si Yahweh ng mga hukbo, na siyang aking pinanaligan, kung hindi ko lang totoong ginagalang ang presensya ni Jehosafat hari ng Juda, ni hindi kita papansinin, o titingnan.
15 But now bring me hither a minstrel. And when the minstrel played, the hand of the Lord came upon him, and he said:
Pero magdala kayo ngayon ng isang manunugtog.” At nang tapos na ang pagtugtog ng manunugtog ng alpa, lumapit ang kamay ni Yahweh kay Eliseo.
16 Thus saith the Lord: Make the channel of this torrent full of ditches.
Sinabi niya, “Sinabi ito ni Yahweh, 'Gawan ninyo ang tuyong ilog na ito ng maraming kanal.'
17 For thus saith the Lord: You shall not see wind, nor rain: and yet this channel shall be filled with waters, and you shall drink, you and your families, and your beasts.
Dahil sinabi ito ni Yahweh, 'Hindi kayo makakakita ng hangin, ni makakakita ng ulan, pero mapupuno ng tubig ang ilog na ito, at iinom kayo, ikaw at inyong mga baka at lahat ng inyong mga alagang hayop.'
18 And this is a small thing in the sight of the Lord: moreover he will deliver also Moab into your hands.
Madaling bagay lamang ito sa paningin ni Yahweh. Bibigyan niya din kayo ng tagumpay laban sa mga Moabita.
19 And you shall destroy every fenced city, and every choice city, and shall cut down every fruitful tree, and shall stop up all the springs of waters, and every goodly field you shall cover with stones.
Lulusob kayo sa bawat matitibay na lungsod at magagandang lungsod, puputulin ang bawat magagandang puno, ihihinto ang lahat ng tubig na bukal, at sisirain ang bawat magagandang bahagi ng lupain sa pamamagitan ng bato.”
20 And it came to pass in the morning, when the sacrifices used to be offered, that behold, water came by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
Kaya kinaumagahan, nang halos oras na ng paghahandog ng alay, dumating ang tubig sa direksyon ng Edom; napuno ang bansa ng tubig.
21 And all the Moabites hearing that the kings were come up to fight against them, gathered together all that were girded with a belt upon them, and stood in the borders.
Nang narinig ng lahat ng Moabita na dumating ang mga hari para lumaban sa kanila, tinipon nila ang kanilang mga sarili, lahat nang may kakayahan na magsuot ng baluti, at tumayo sila sa hangganan.
22 And they rose early in the morning, and the sun being now up, and shining upon the waters, the Moabites saw the waters over against them red, like blood,
Gumising sila nang maaga at sumalamin ang araw sa tubig. Nang nakita ito ng mga Moabita, ang tubig sa kanilang banda, mukhang kasing pula ng dugo.
23 And they said: It is the blood of the sword: the kings have fought among themselves, and they have killed one another: go now, Moab, to the spoils.
Sumigaw sila, “Dugo ito! Tiyak na nawasak na ang mga hari, at pinatay nila ang isa't-isa! Kaya ngayon, Moab, Nakawan na natin sila!”
24 And they went into the camp of Israel: but Israel rising up defeated Moab, who fled before them. And they being conquerors, went and smote Moab.
Nang dumating sila sa kampo ng Israel, binigla sila ng mga Israelita at nilusob ang mga Moabita, na tumakas mula sa kanila. Hinabol ng mga hukbo ng Israel ang mga Moabita sa kabilang lupain at pinatay sila.
25 And they destroyed the cities: and they filled every goodly field, every man casting his stone: and they stopt up all the springs of waters: and cut down all the trees that bore fruit, so that brick walls only remained: and the city was beset by the slingers, and a great part thereof destroyed.
Winasak ng Israel ang mga lungsod, at sa bawat magagandang bahagi ng lupain, naghahagis ang bawat tao ng bato at napuno ng bato ang mayabong na mga sakahan. Pinahinto nila ang lahat ng bukal ng tubig at pinutol ang lahat ng magagandang puno, maliban lamang sa Kir-Haseret, kung saan iniwan nila ang mga bato sa lugar. Pero inatake ito ng mga sundalong may tirador.
26 And when the king of Moab saw this, to wit, that the enemies had prevailed, he took with him seven hundred men that drew the sword, to break in upon the king of Edom: but they could not.
Nang nakita ni Haring Mesa ng Moab na natalo na sila sa laban, sinama niya ang pitong-daan na mga lalaking gumagamit ng espada para lusubin ang hari ng Edom, pero nabigo sila.
27 Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall: and there was great indignation in Israel, and presently they departed from him, and returned into their own country.
Pagkatapos, sinama niya ang kaniyang panganay, na maghahari sana pagkatapos niya, hinandog niya ito bilang susunuging alay sa pader. Kaya nagkaroon ng labis na galit laban sa Israel, at iniwan ng hukbo ng Israelita si Haring Mesa at bumalik sa kanilang sariling lupain.
