< 2 Samuel 2 >
1 And it came to pass after this, that David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said unto him, Go up. And David said, Where shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.
At nangyari, pagkatapos nito, na nagusisa si David sa Panginoon, na nagsasabi, Aahon ba ako sa alinman sa mga bayan ng Juda? At sinabi ng Panginoon sa kaniya, Umahon ka. At sinabi ni David, Saan ako aahon? At kaniyang sinabi, Sa Hebron.
2 So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal's wife the Carmelite.
Sa gayo'y umahon si David doon, at pati ng kaniyang dalawang asawa, si Ahinoam na taga Jezreel, at si Abigail na asawa ni Nabal, na taga Carmelo.
3 And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
At ang kaniyang mga lalake na kasama niya ay iniahon ni David bawa't lalake na kasama ang kanikaniyang sangbahayan: at sila'y nagsitahan sa mga bayan ng Hebron.
4 And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, That the men of Jabeshgilead were they that buried Saul.
At nagsiparoon ang mga lalake ng Juda, at kanilang pinahiran ng langis doon si David upang maging hari sa sangbahayan ng Juda. At kanilang isinaysay kay David, na sinasabi, Ang mga lalake sa Jabes-galaad ay siyang naglibing kay Saul.
5 And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabeshgilead, and said unto them, Blessed be all of you of the LORD, that all of you have showed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him.
At nagsugo ng mga sugo si David sa mga lalake sa Jabes-galaad, at sinabi sa kanila, Pagpalain nawa kayo ng Panginoon, na kayo'y nagpakita ng kagandahang loob na ito sa inyong panginoon, sa makatuwid baga'y kay Saul, at inyong inilibing siya.
6 And now the LORD show kindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because all of you have done this thing.
At ngayon nawa'y pagpakitaan kayo ng Panginoon ng kagandahang loob at katotohanan: at ako naman ay gaganti sa inyo nitong kagandahang loob, sapagka't inyong ginawa ang bagay na ito.
7 Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be all of you valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
Ngayon nga, magsilakas nawa ang inyong mga kamay, at kayo nawa'y maging matatapang: sapagka't patay na si Saul na inyong panginoon, at pinahiran ng langis naman ako ng sangbahayan ni Juda upang maging hari sa kanila.
8 But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
Kinuha nga ni Abner na anak ni Ner na kapitan sa hukbo ni Saul, si Is-boseth na anak ni Saul, at inilipat sa Mahanaim;
9 And made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
At kaniyang ginawa siyang hari sa Galaad, at sa mga Asureo, at sa Jezreel, at sa Ephraim, at sa Benjamin, at sa buong Israel.
10 Ishbosheth Saul's son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
Si Is-boseth na anak ni Saul ay may apat na pung taon nang siya'y magpasimulang maghari sa Israel, at siya'y naghari na dalawang taon. Nguni't ang sangbahayan ni Juda ay sumunod kay David.
11 And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
At ang panahon na ipinaghari ni David sa Hebron sa sangbahayan ni Juda ay pitong taon at anim na buwan.
12 And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
At si Abner na anak ni Ner, at ang mga lingkod ni Is-boseth na anak ni Saul, ay nangapasa Gabaon mula sa Mahanaim.
13 And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met together by the pool of Gibeon: and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.
At si Joab na anak ni Sarvia, at ang mga lingkod ni David ay nagsilabas, at sinalubong sila sa siping ng tangke sa Gabaon; at sila'y naupo, na ang isa'y sa isang dako ng tangke, at ang isa'y sa kabilang dako ng tangke.
14 And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
At sinabi ni Abner kay Joab, Isinasamo ko sa iyo na bumangon ang mga bataan at magsanay ng tabak sa harap natin. At sinabi ni Joab, Bumangon sila.
15 Then there arose and went over by number twelve of Benjamin, which pertained to Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
Nang magkagayo'y bumangon sila at tumawid ayon sa bilang; labing dalawa sa Benjamin, at sa ganang kay Is-boseth na anak ni Saul, at labing dalawa sa mga lingkod ni David.
16 And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side; so they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Helkathhazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
At hinawakan sa ulo ng bawa't isa sa kanila ang kaniyang kaaway, at isinaksak ang kaniyang tabak sa tagiliran ng kaniyang kaaway; sa gayo'y nangabuwal sila na magkakasama: kaya't ang dakong yaon ay tinatawag na Helcath-assurim na nasa Gabaon.
17 And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
At ang pagbabaka ay lumalalang mainam nang araw na yaon; at si Abner ay nadaig, at ang mga lalake ng Israel sa harap ng mga lingkod ni David.
18 And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe.
At nandoon ang tatlong anak ni Sarvia, si Joab, at si Abisai, at si Asael: at si Asael ay magaan ang paa na gaya ng mailap na usa.
19 And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
At hinabol ni Asael si Abner; at sa pagyaon, siya'y hindi lumihis sa kanan o sa kaliwa man sa pagsunod kay Abner.
20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Are you Asahel? And he answered, I am.
Nang magkagayo'y nilingon ni Abner, at sinabi, Ikaw ba'y si Asael? At siya'y sumagot: Ako nga.
21 And Abner said to him, Turn you aside to your right hand or to your left, and lay you hold on one of the young men, and take you his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from following of him.
At sinabi ni Abner sa kaniya, Lumihis ka sa iyong kanan o sa iyong kaliwa, at iyong tangnan ang isa sa mga bataan, at kunin mo ang kaniyang sakbat. Nguni't ayaw ni Asael na humiwalay sa pagsunod sa kaniya.
22 And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn you aside from following me: wherefore should I strike you to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab your brother?
At sinabi uli ni Abner kay Asael, Lumihis ka sa pagsunod sa akin: bakit nga kita ibubulagta sa lupa? paanong aking maitataas nga ang aking mukha kay Joab na iyong kapatid?
23 Nevertheless he refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear stroke him under the fifth rib, that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
Gayon ma'y tumanggi siyang lumihis: kaya't sinaktan siya ni Abner sa tiyan ng dulo ng sibat, na anopa't ang sibat ay lumabas sa likod niya; at siya'y nabuwal doon at namatay sa dako ring yaon: at nangyari, na lahat na naparoon sa dakong kinabuwalan ni Asael at kinamatayan, ay nangapatigil.
24 Joab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lies before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
Nguni't hinabol ni Joab at ni Abisai si Abner: at ang araw ay nakalubog na nang sila'y dumating sa burol ng Amma, na nasa harap ng Gia sa siping ng daan sa ilang ng Gabaon.
25 And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of an hill.
At ang mga anak ng Benjamin ay nagpipisan sa likuran ni Abner, at nagisang pulutong, at nagsitayo sa taluktok ng isang burol.
26 Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? know you not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, before you bid the people return from following their brethren?
Nang magkagayo'y tinawag ni Abner si Joab, at nagsabi, Mananakmal ba ang tabak magpakailan man? hindi mo ba nalalaman na magkakaroon ng kapaitan sa katapusan? hanggang kailan mo nga pababalikin ang bayan na mula sa pagsunod sa kanilang mga kapatid?
27 And Joab said, As God lives, unless you had spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
At sinabi ni Joab, Buhay ang Dios, kung hindi mo sana sinalita ay tunay nga na umalis disin ang bayan sa kinaumagahan, o sinundan man ng sinoman ang bawa't isa sa kaniyang kapatid.
28 So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
Sa gayo'y hinipan ni Joab ang pakakak, at ang buong bayan ay tumigil, at hindi na hinabol ang Israel, o sila man ay lumaban pa.
29 And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim.
At si Abner at ang kaniyang mga lalake ay nagdaan buong gabi sa Araba; at sila'y nagsitawid ng Jordan, at nagsidaan sa buong Bitron, at nagsidating sa Mahanaim.
30 And Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David's servants nineteen men and Asahel.
At bumalik si Joab na humiwalay ng paghabol kay Abner: at nang kaniyang mapisan ang buong bayan, nagkulang sa mga lingkod ni David ay labing siyam na lalake at si Asael.
31 But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, so that three hundred and threescore men died.
Nguni't sinaktan ng mga lingkod ni David ang Benjamin, at ang mga lalake ni Abner, na anopa't nangamatay ay tatlong daan at anim na pung lalake.
32 And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the tomb of his father, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.
At kanilang iniahon si Asael, at inilibing nila siya sa libingan ng kaniyang ama, na nasa Bethlehem. At si Joab at ang kaniyang mga lalake ay nagsiyaon buong gabi, at dumating sila sa Hebron sa kinaumagahan.
