< 2 Samuel 2 >
1 And it came to pass after this, that David asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up into one of the cities of Judah? And the Lord said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither 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, Achino'am the Yizre'elitess, and Abigayil, 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 then came the men of Judah, and they anointed there David as king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, The men of Yabesh-gil'ad were those 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 thereupon sent messengers unto the men of Yabesh-gil'ad, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of the Lord, that ye have done this kindness unto your Lord, 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 may the Lord deal with you in kindness and truth: and as for me also, I will requite you this good deed, because ye 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 And now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant men; for your lord Saul is dead; and also me have the house of Judah anointed as 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, the captain of the army of Saul, took Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Machanayim;
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 Gil'ad, and over the Ashurites, and over Yizre'el, 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 Forty years old was Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, when he became king over Israel, and two years he reigned. 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 number of days 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 there went out Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, from Machanayim to Gib'on.
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 Zeruyah and the servants of David also went out, and they met together by the pool of Gib'on: and they sat down, these on the one side of the pool, and the others 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, Do let the young men rise up and play before us. And Joab said, They may rise up.
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 they rose up and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin, and for Ish-bosheth 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 grasped every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side; and they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Chelkath-hazzurim, which is by Gib'on.
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 the battle was exceedingly fierce on that day; and Abner with the men of Israel was beaten, 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 at that place three sons of Zeruyah, Joab, and Abishai, and 'Asahel: and 'Asahel was as fleet of foot as any roe in the field.
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 he turned not in going to the right hand or 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 And Abner turned round and said, Art thou '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 thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay hold for thyself on one of the young men, and take thyself his armor. But 'Asahel would not turn aside from following 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 repeated again to say unto 'Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? and how should I then lift up my face to Joab thy 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 But he refused to turn aside; and Abner smote him with the hinder end of the spear under the fifth rib, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died on the spot: and it came to pass, that all who came to the place where 'Asahel had fallen down and died remained standing 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 But Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giach on the way to the wilderness of Gib'on.
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 assembled themselves together behind Abner, and formed one solid body, and posted themselves on the top of a certain hill.
At ang mga anak ng Benjamin ay nagpipisan sa likuran ni Abner, at nagisang pulutong, at nagsitayo sa taluktok ng isang burol.
26 And Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall for everlasting the sword devour? knowest thou not that it will be bitter in the end? and how long shall it be, ere thou wilt bid the people to return from pursuing 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 liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then already in the morning would the people have gone away every one from pursuing 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 the cornet, and all the people remained standing still, and pursued no more after Israel, and they continued no more to fight.
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 through the plain all that night, and they passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Machanayim.
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 pursuing Abner; and he gathered all the people together; and there were missed 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 [many] of Benjamin, and of Abner's men: three hundred and sixty 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 sepulchre of his father, which was in Beth-lechem. And Joab and his men went all that night, and the day broke on them at Hebron.
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.
