1 Kings 2
1 The time of David's death was approaching, so he gave his son Solomon these last instructions:
Sa pagdating ng araw ng malapit nang mamatay si David, inutusan niya si Solomon na kaniyang anak, sinabi niya,
2 “I am about to go the way everybody on earth must go. Be brave, and act like a man.
“Papunta na ako sa lupa. Kaya maging malakas ka at ipakita mong lalaki ka.
3 Do what God orders you to do, follow his ways. Keep his rules, his commands, and his laws and regulations, as written in the Law of Moses, so you may be successful in everything you do, and in everything you give your attention to.
Sundin mo ang mga utos ni Yahweh na iyong Diyos na lumakad sa kaniyang mga pamamaraan, na sumunod sa kaniyang mga alituntunin, kautusan, desisyon, at mga kautusan sa tipan, maging maingat na gawin kung ano ang nakasulat sa batas ni Moises, sa gayon magtatagumpay ka sa lahat ng gagawin mo, saan ka man pumunta,
4 If so, then the Lord will keep his promise to me when he said: ‘If your descendants are to live right before me, faithfully and with complete commitment, then you will always have one of them on the throne of Israel.’
upang tuparin ni Yahweh ang kaniyang salita na sinabi niya tungkol sa akin, na sinasabi niyang, 'Kung maingat na binabantayan ng mga anak mong lalaki ang kanilang pag-uugali, na lalakad nang matapat sa harapan ko nang kanilang buong puso at kaluluwa, hindi titigil kailanman na magkaroon ka ng isang lalaki sa trono ng Israel.'
5 In addition, you know what Joab, son of Zeruiah, did to me and what he did to Abner, son of Ner, and Amasa, son of Jether, the two army commanders of Israel. He murdered them, spilling the blood of war during a time of peace. He smeared the blood of war on his belt and on his sandals.
Alam mo rin kung ano ang ginawa sa akin ni Joab na anak ni Zeruias, at kung ano ang ginawa niya sa dalawang kumander ng mga hukbo ng Israel, kay Abner na anak ni Ner, at kay Amasa na anak ni Jeter, na pinatay niya. Pinadanak niya ang dugo ng digmaan sa panahon ng kapayapaan at inilagay ang dugo ng digmaan sa sinturon sa palibot ng kaniyang baywang at sa mga sapatos niya sa kaniyang mga paa.
6 Do what you think is right, but don't let his gray head go down peacefully into the grave. (Sheol h7585)
Pakitunguhan mo si Joab gamit ang karunungan na natutunan mo, pero huwag mong hayaang ang kaniyang kulay abong ulo ay mapunta sa libingan nang may kapayapaan. (Sheol h7585)
7 But be kind to the sons of Barzillai of Gilead. Bring them into your royal court, for they helped me when I ran from your brother Absalom.
Subalit, magpakita ka ng kabaitan sa mga anak na lalaki ni Barsilai na taga-Galaad, at hayaan mo silang makasama sa mga kumakain sa iyong mesa, dahil pumunta sila sa akin noong tumakas ako sa kapatid mong si Absalom.
8 Don't you forget Shimei, son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim who cursed me with painful words when I went to Mahanaim. When he met me at the Jordan I swore to him by the Lord, ‘I will not kill you with the sword.’
Tingnan mo, kasama mo si Semei na anak ni Gera, ang Benjaminita ng Bahurim, na sinumpa ako ng isang napakasamang sumpa noong araw na pumunta ako sa Mahanaim. Bumaba si Semei para salubungin ako sa Jordan, at sumumpa ako sa kaniya kay Yahweh, sinasabi ko, 'Hindi kita papatayin gamit ang espada.'
9 So don't leave him unpunished. You're a wise man and you know what you have to do to him—send him down into the grave with blood on his gray head.” (Sheol h7585)
Kaya ngayon, huwag mo siyang hayaang makawala mula sa kaparusahan. Isa kang matalinong tao, at malalaman mo kung ano ang dapat mong gawin sa kaniya. Dadalhin mo ang kaniyang kulay abong ulo sa libingan nang may dugo.” (Sheol h7585)
10 Then David died and his was buried in the City of David.
Pagkatapos, nahimlay na si David kasama ang kaniyang mga ninuno at inilibing sa lungsod ni David.
11 His reign over Israel lasted forty years; seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
Ang mga araw na naghari si David sa Israel ay apatnapung taon. Naghari siya sa Hebron ng pitong taon at sa Jerusalem ng tatlumpu't tatlong taon.
12 Solomon took over as king, sitting on the throne of his father David, and his hold on his kingdom was secure.
Pagkatapos naupo si Solomon sa trono ng kaniyang ama na si David, at ang kaniyang pamumuno ay naging matatag.
13 Adonijah, son of Haggith, went to see Bathsheba, Solomon's mother. She asked him, “Have you come here with good intentions?” He replied, “Yes, with good intentions.”
Pagkatapos, pumunta si Adonias na anak ni Haguit kay Batsheba na ina ni Solomon. Sinabi niya, “Pumunta ka ba dito nang may kapayapaan?” Sinagot niya, “Mapayapa.”
14 “I have something I'd like to ask of you,” he continued. “Go on,” she said.
Pagkatapos ay sinabi niya, “Mayroon akong nais sabihin sa iyo.” Kaya sumagot siya, “Magsalita ka.”
15 “You know that the kingdom was mine,” he declared, “and everyone in Israel was looking forward to me being their next king. But everything was turned upside-down, and the kingdom passed to my brother, because that's what the Lord wanted.
Sinabi ni Adonias, “Alam mo na ang kaharian ay sa akin, at inasahan akong maging hari ng buong Israel. Gayunpaman, bumaliktad ang naganap sa kaharian at napunta sa aking kapatid, dahil ito ay sa kaniya mula kay Yahweh.
16 Now I've just one request to ask of you—please don't say no.” “Tell me,” she said.
Ngayon mayroon akong isang kahilingan sa iyo. Huwag mo akong tanggihan.” Sinabi sa kaniya ni Batsheba, “Magsalita ka.”
17 He went on, “Please talk to King Solomon for me because he won't turn you down. Ask him to give me Abishag from Shunem as my wife.”
Sinabi niya, “Pakiusap, kausapin mo si Solomon na hari, dahil hindi ka niya tatanggihan, para ibigay niya sa akin si Abisag na taga-Sunem bilang aking asawa.”
18 “Very well,” Bathsheba replied. “I will talk to the king for you.”
Sinabi ni Batsheba, “Kung ganoon, kakausapin ko ang hari.”
19 So Bathsheba went to talk to King Solomon for Adonijah. The king got up from his throne to meet her, and bowed before her. Then he sat back down and ordered another throne brought in for his mother. She sat to his right.
Kaya pumunta si Batsheba kay Haring Solomon para kausapin siya para kay Adonias. Tumayo ang hari para salubungin siya at yumuko siya sa kaniya. Pagkatapos ay naupo siya sa kaniyang trono at nagpakuha ng trono para sa ina ng hari. Naupo siya sa bandang kanang kamay niya.
20 “I have just one small request to ask of you,” she said. “Please don't say no.” The king replied, “Ask away, dear mother. I won't say no to you.”
Pagkatapos, sinabi niya, “Gusto kong humiling ng isang maliit na kahilingan sa iyo; huwag mo akong tanggihan.” Sinagot siya ng hari, “Humiling ka, aking ina, dahil hindi kita tatanggihan.”
21 “Please give Abishag from Shunem to your brother Adonijah as his wife,” she replied.
Sinabi niya, “Ibigay mo si Abisag na taga-Sunem kay Adonias na iyong kapatid bilang kaniyang asawa.”
22 King Solomon answered his mother, “Why on earth are you asking me to give Abishag to Adonijah? You might as well ask me to give my brother the kingdom! He is my older brother, and Abiathar the priest and Joab, son of Zeruiah, are on his side!”
Sumagot si Haring Solomon at sinabi sa kaniyang ina, “Bakit mo hinihingi si Abisag na taga-Sunem para kay Adonias? Bakit hindi mo rin hingin ang kaharian para sa kaniya, dahil siya ang aking nakatatandang kapatid—para sa kaniya, para kay Abiatar na pari, at para kay Joab na anak ni Zeruias?”
23 Then King Solomon vowed before the Lord, “May God punish me, really punish me, if what Adonijah has asked for doesn't cost him his life.
Pagkatapos ay sumumpa si Haring Solomon kay Yahweh, sinasabi niya, “Nawa'y gawin sa akin ng Diyos, at mas higit pa, kung hindi ito sinabi ni Adonias laban sa kaniyang sariling buhay.
24 So I vow, as the Lord lives, who affirmed me as king and placed me on the throne of my father David, making me the head of a dynasty as he promised, Adonijah shall be executed today.”
Kaya ngayon sa kay Yahweh na buhay, na nagtatag at naglagay sa akin sa trono ni David na aking ama, at ang gumawa ng sambahayan sa akin tulad ng ipinangako niya, tiyak na papatayin si Adonias ngayon.”
25 King Solomon sent Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, who carried out the king's orders and executed Adonijah.
Kaya pinadala ni Haring Solomon si Benaias na anak ni Joiada at nahanap ni Benaias si Adonias at pinatay siya.
26 In the case of Abiathar, the high priest, the king told him, “Go home and take care of your fields. You should be condemned to death, but I will not kill you right now because you carried the Ark of the Lord God ahead of my father David and went through all his hard times with him.”
At kay Abiatar na pari, sinabi ng hari, “Pumunta ka sa Anatot, sa sarili mong bukirin. Dapat kang patayin, pero hindi kita papatayin sa oras na ito, dahil binuhat mo ang kaban ng tipan ng Panginoong si Yahweh sa harap ni David na aking ama at kasama kang naghirap sa bawat paghihirap ng aking ama.”
27 So Solomon dismissed Abiathar from his position as priest of the Lord, and so fulfilled what the Lord had said at Shiloh regarding the descendants of Eli.
Kaya inalis ni Solomon si Abiatar mula sa pagiging pari ni Yahweh, para matupad niya ang salita ni Yahweh, na sinabi niya tungkol sa sambahayan ni Eli sa Silo.
28 When Joab heard the news he ran to the Lord's Tent and grabbed hold of the horns of the altar. (He had not supported Absalom's rebellion but he had supported Adonijah.)
Dumating ang balita kay Joab, dahil sinuportahan ni Joab si Adonias, pero hindi niya sinuportahan si Absalom. Kaya pumunta si Joab sa tolda ni Yahweh at kinuha ang mga sungay sa altar.
29 When King Solomon was told that Joab was seeking sanctuary by the altar, he sent Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, to execute him.
Sinabi kay Haring Solomon na si Joab ay tumakas papunta sa tolda ni Yahweh at ngayo'y nasa tabi ng altar. Kaya sinugo ni Solomon si Benaias na anak ni Joiada, sinasabi niya, “Humayo ka, patayin mo siya.”
30 Benaiah went to the Lord's Tent and told called to Joab, “The king orders you to come out!” “No! I'll die here!” Joab replied. Benaiah went back to the king and told him what Joab had said.
Kaya pumunta si Benaias sa tolda ni Yahweh at sinabi sa kaniya, “Ang sabi ng hari, 'Lumabas ka.'” Sumagot si Joab, “Hindi, mamamatay ako dito.” Kaya bumalik si Benaias sa hari, sinasabi niya, “Sinabi ni Joab na gusto niyang mamatay sa altar.”
31 “Do as he says,” the king told Benaiah. “Strike him down and bury him. In that way you will remove from me and my family the guilt of the innocent blood that Joab shed.
Sinabi sa kaniya ng hari, “Gawin mo kung ano ang sinabi niya. Patayin mo siya at ilibing, para maalis mo mula sa akin at sa sambahayan ng aking ama ang dugo na pinadanak ni Joab nang walang dahilan.
32 The Lord will pay him back for the blood he shed, for without my father David's knowledge, he killed two good men who were better than he was. With his sword he killed Abner, son of Ner, commander of Israel's army, and Amasa, son of Jether, commander of Judah's army.
Nawa'y ibalik ni Yahweh ang dugo sa kaniyang sarili, dahil nilusob niya ang dalawang lalaking mas matuwid at mas mabuti kaysa sa kaniya at pinatay sila gamit ang espada, sila Abner na anak ni Ner, ang kapitan ng hukbo ng Israel, at Amasa na anak ni Jeter, ang kapitan ng hukbo ng Juda, nang hindi nalalaman ng aking amang si David.
33 May the responsibility for shedding their blood come back on Joab and his descendants forever; but may the Lord give peace and prosperity to David, his descendants, his family, and his dynasty forever.”
Kaya nawa ang dugo nila ay bumalik sa ulo ni Joab at sa ulo ng kaniyang mga kaapu-apuhan magpakailanman. Pero kay David at sa kaniyang mga kaapu-apuhan, at kaniyang sambahayan, at sa kaniyang trono, nawa'y magkaroon ng kapayapaan mula kay Yahweh magpakailanman.”
34 So Benaiah son of Jehoiada returned and killed Joab. He was buried at his home in the wilderness.
Pagkatapos, umalis si Benaias na anak ni Joiada at sinalakay si Joab at pinatay siya. Inilibing siya sa kaniyang sariling bahay sa ilang.
35 The king appointed Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, to take over Joab's role as army commander, and replaced Abiathar with Zadok the priest.
Nilagay ng hari si Benaias na anak ni Joiada sa hukbo kapalit niya, at nilagay niya si Sadoc na pari kapalit ni Abiatar.
36 Then the king summoned Shimei and told him, “Go and build yourself a house in Jerusalem and stay there, but don't leave and go anywhere else.
Pagkatapos ay pinadala at pinatawag niya si Semei, at sinabi sa kaniya, “Magtayo ka ng bahay sa Jerusalem at manirahan doon, at huwag kang lalabas mula doon papunta kahit saang lugar.
37 You should know for certain that the day you leave and cross the Kidron Valley you will die. Your death will be your own responsibility.”
Dahil sa araw na umalis ka, at dumaan sa Lambak ng Kidron, dapat mong malaman na tiyak kang mamamatay. Ang dugo ay mapupunta sa iyong sarili.”
38 “What Your Majesty says is fair,” Shimei replied. “Your servant will do as my lord the king has ordered.” Shimei lived in Jerusalem for a long time.
Kaya sinabi ni Semei sa hari, “Ang sinasabi mo ay mabuti. Tulad ng sinabi ng aking panginoon na hari, gagawin ng iyong lingkod.” Kaya nanirahan si Semei sa Jerusalem nang maraming araw.
39 But three years later, two of Shimei's slaves escaped to Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. Shimei was told, “Look, your slaves are in Gath.”
Pero sa pagtatapos ng tatlong taon, dalawa sa mga lingkod ni Semei ay tumakas papunta kay Achish na anak ni Maaca na hari ng Gat. Kaya sinabi nila kay Semei, “Tingnan mo, ang mga lingkod mo ay nasa Gat.”
40 So Shimei saddled up his donkey and went to Achish in Gath to look for his slaves. He found them and brought them back from Gath.
At tumayo si Semei, inihanda niya ang kaniyang asno, at pumunta kay Achish sa Gat para hanapin ang kaniyang mga lingkod. Umalis siya at kinuha ang kaniyang mga lingkod mula sa Gat.
41 Solomon was informed that Shimei had left Jerusalem to go to Gath, and had then returned.
Nang sinabihan si Solomon na umalis si Semei mula sa Jerusalem papuntang Gat at bumalik,
42 The king summoned Shimei and asked him, “Didn't I vow to you by the Lord, didn't I warn you that the day you left and went somewhere else that you should know for certain that you would die? Didn't you reply to me, ‘What Your Majesty says is fair; I'll do as you ordered’?
nagsugo ang hari at pinatawag si Semei at sinabi sa kaniyang, “Hindi ba kita pinanumpa kay Yahweh, at nagpatotoo sa iyo, sinasabi ko, 'Dapat mong malaman na sa araw na aalis ka at pupunta sa ibang lugar, tiyak na mamamatay ka?' Pagkatapos ay sinabi mo sa akin, 'Ang sinabi mo ay mabuti.'
43 So why haven't you kept your vow to the Lord, and obeyed my orders?”
Kaya bakit hindi mo iningatan ang iyong panunumpa kay Yahweh, at ang utos na binigay ko sa iyo?”
44 The king also told Shimei, “Deep down you know all the evil things you did to my father David. That's why the Lord will repay you for your evil.
Sinabi rin ng hari kay Semei, “Alam mo sa iyong puso ang lahat ng kasamaan na ginawa mo sa aking ama na si David. Kaya ibabalik ni Yahweh ang kasamaan mo sa iyong sarili.
45 But I, King Solomon, will be blessed and David's dynasty will be kept safe in the presence of the Lord forever.”
Pero pagpapalain si Haring Solomon, at matatatag ang trono ni David sa harap ni Yahweh magpakailanman.”
46 The king ordered Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, to execute Shimei, so he went and killed Shimei. In this way Solomon's hold on the kingdom was made secure.
Kaya inutusan ng hari si Benaias na anak ni Joiada na umalis at patayin si Semei. Kaya ang pamumuno ay matibay na naitatag sa kamay ni Solomon.
