< 2 Kings 1 >
1 Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
Nang namatay si Ahab, nagrebelde ang Moab laban sa Israel.
2 And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said to them, Go, inquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease.
Pagkatapos, nahulog si Ahazias sa balkonahe sa taas ng kaniyang tulugan sa Samaria, at nagkaroon ng malubhang karamdaman. Kaya nagpadala siya ng mga mensahero at sinabi sa kanila, “Pumunta kayo at tanungin si Baal-zebub, ang diyos ng Ekron, kung gagaling pa ako sa karamdamang ito.”
3 But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that you go to inquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron?
Pero sinabi ng anghel ni Yahweh kay Elias ang taga-Tisbe, “Tumayo ka at puntahan ang mga mensahero ng hari ng Samaria, at tanungin mo sila, 'Dahil ba walang Diyos sa Israel kaya kayo pupunta para sumangguni kay Baal-zebub ang diyos ng Ekron?
4 Now therefore thus says the LORD, You shall not come down from that bed on which you are gone up, but shall surely die. And Elijah departed.
Dahil dito, ito ang sabi ni Yahweh, “Hindi ka na makakabangon sa higaan kung saan ka bumabangon; sa halip, tiyak kang mamamatay.” Pagkatapos umalis si Elias.
5 And when the messengers turned back to him, he said to them, Why are you now turned back?
Nang bumalik ang mga mensahero kay Ahazias, sinabi niya sa kanila, “Bakit kayo bumalik?”
6 And they said to him, There came a man up to meet us, and said to us, Go, turn again to the king that sent you, and say to him, Thus says the LORD, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that you send to inquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? therefore you shall not come down from that bed on which you are gone up, but shall surely die.
Sinabi nila sa kaniya, “Isang lalaki ang lumapit sa amin na nagsabi, 'Bumalik kayo sa haring nagpadala sa inyo, at sabihin sa kaniya, “Sinabi ito ni Yahweh: 'Dahil ba walang Diyos sa Israel kaya kayo pupunta para sumangguni kay Baal-zebub ang diyos ng Ekron? Dahil dito, hindi ka na makakabangon sa hingaan kung saan ka bumabangon; sa halip, tiyak kang mamamatay.”
7 And he said to them, What manner of man was he which came up to meet you, and told you these words?
Sinabi ni Ahazias sa kaniyang mga mensahero, “Anong klaseng tao siya, ang taong lumapit sa inyo at sinabi ang mga salitang ito?
8 And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.
Sumagot sila sa kaniya, “Nakasuot siya ng damit na gawa sa buhok at mayroong balat na sinturon na nakasuot sa kaniyang baywang.” Kaya sumagot ang hari, “Si Elias iyon na taga-Tisbe.”
9 Then the king sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spoke to him, You man of God, the king has said, Come down.
Pagkatapos nagpadala ang hari ng kapitan kasama ang limampung sundalo para kay Elias. Nagpunta ang kapitan kay Elias kung saan nakaupo siya sa tuktok ng burol. Nagsalita ang kapitan sa kaniya, ikaw na lingkod ng Diyos, sinabi ng hari, 'Bumaba ka.'”
10 And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume you and your fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
Sumagot si Elias at sinabi sa kapitan, “kung ako ay lingkod ng Diyos, bumaba sana ang apoy mula sa kalangitan at sunugin ka at ang limampung sundalo mo.” Pagkatapos bumaba ang apoy mula sa kalangitan at sinunog siya at kaniyang limampung sundalo.
11 Again also he sent to him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said to him, O man of God, thus has the king said, Come down quickly.
Muling nagpadala si Haring Ahazias ng isa pang kapitan na may kasamang limampung sundalo para kay Elias. Sinabi ng kapitan kay Elias, “Ikaw na lingkod ng Diyos, sabi ng hari, 'Magmadali kang bumaba.'”
12 And Elijah answered and said to them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume you and your fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
Sumagot si Elias at sinabi sa kanila, “Kung ako ay lingkod ng Diyos, bumaba sana ang apoy mula sa kalangitan at sunugin ka at iyong limampung sundalo.” Muli, bumaba ang apoy ng Diyos mula sa kalangitan at sinunog siya at kaniyang limampung sundalo.
13 And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and sought him, and said to him, O man of God, I pray you, let my life, and the life of these fifty your servants, be precious in your sight.
Ganun pa man, nagpadala muli ang hari ng ikatlong grupo ng limampung mandirigma. Umakyat ang kapitan, lumuhod sa harap ni Elias, at nagmakaawa sa kaniya at sinabi, “Ikaw na lingkod ng Diyos, nagmamakaawa ako na ang buhay ko at buhay ng limampung alipin mo ay maging mahalaga sa iyong paningin.
14 Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in your sight.
Tunay nga na bumaba ang apoy mula sa kalangitan at sinunog ang unang dalawang kapitan kasama ng kanilang mga tauhan, pero ngayon hayaan mo sana na maging mahalaga ang buhay ko sa iyong paningin.”
15 And the angel of the LORD said to Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him to the king.
Kaya nagsabi ang anghel ni Yahweh kay Elias, “Bumaba ka kasama niya. Huwag kang matakot sa kaniya.” Kaya tumayo si Elias at bumaba kasama niya papunta sa hari.
16 And he said to him, Thus says the LORD, For as much as you have sent messengers to inquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? therefore you shall not come down off that bed on which you are gone up, but shall surely die.
Pagkatapos, sinabi ni Elias kay Ahazias, “Ito ang sinabi ni Yahweh, 'Nagpadala ka ng mga mensahero para sumangguni kay Baal-zebub ang diyos ng Ekron? Dahil ba walang Diyos sa Israel na maaari mong tanungan ng kaalaman? Kaya ngayon, hindi ka na makakabangon sa hingaan kung saan ka bumabangon; sa halip, tiyak kang mamamatay.”
17 So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.
Kaya namatay si Haring Ahazias ayon sa mga salita ni Yahweh na binanggit ni Elias. Nagsimulang maghari si Joram kapalit niya, sa ikalawang taon, si Jehoram anak ni Jehoshafat ang naging hari ng Juda, dahil walang anak si Ahazias.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Para sa ibang mga bagay na tungkol kay Ahazias, hindi ba sila nakasulat sa Aklat ng mga Kaganapan sa buhay ng mga Hari ng Israel?
