2 Samuel 17
1 Moreover Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Let me now choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David tonight.
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Ahitofel kay Absalom, “Ngayon hayaan mo akong pumili ng labindalawang libong kalalakihan at babangon ako at tutugisin si David ngayong gabi.
2 And I will catch up with him while he is weary and discouraged, and will thow him into a panic, and all the people who are with him will flee. And I will strike the king alone.
Pupunta ako sa kaniya habang pagod siya at nanghihina at gugulatin ko siya sa takot. Tatakas ang mga taong kasama niya at ang hari lamang ang aking sasalakayin.
3 Then all the people will come back to you, as a bride returns to her husband. You seek the life of only one man; then all the people will be in peace."
Ibabalik ko sa iyo ang lahat ng tao, tulad ng isang babaeng ikakasal na papunta sa kaniyang asawa at ang lahat ng taong nasasakupan mo ay magiging mapayapa.”
4 And the advice seemed good to Absalom and all the elders of Israel.
Kasiya-siya kay Absalom at sa lahat ng mga nakatatanda ng Israel kung ano ang sinabi ni Ahitofel.
5 Then Absalom said, "Now call Hushai the Archite, and let's hear what he says."
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Absalom, “Ngayon tawagin din si Cusai ang Arkite at pakinggan natin kung ano ang kaniyang sasabihin.”
6 When Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom said to him, "Ahithophel has spoken thus. Should we follow his advice? And if not, speak up."
Nang dumating si Cusai kay Absalom, ipinaliwanag ni Absalom sa kaniya kung ano ang sinabi ni Ahitofel at pagkatapos tinanong si Cusai, “Dapat ba naming gawin ang anumang sabihin ni Ahitofel? Kung hindi, sabihan kami kung ano ang payo mo.”
7 So Hushai said to Absalom, "The counsel that Ahithophel has given this time is not good."
Kaya sinabi ni Cusai kay Absalom, “Hindi mabuti ang ibinigay na payo ni Ahitofel sa panahong ito.”
8 Moreover, Hushai said, "You know your father and his men, that they are warriors, and that they are as fierce as a bear robbed of her cubs in the wild, or a sow snared in the wild. Your father is expert in war, and will not camp with the people.
Idinagdag ni Cusai, “Alam mong malakas na mga mandirigma ang iyong ama at ang kaniyang mga tauhan at mabangis sila at katulad sila ng isang osong ninakawan ng mga anak sa isang bukid. Ang iyong ama ay isang taong mandirigma; hindi siya matutulog kasama ang hukbo ngayong gabi.
9 Look, he is now hidden in some pit, or in some other place. And it will happen when some of them have fallen first, that whoever hears it will say, 'There is a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.'
Tingnan mo, marahil ngayon ay nagtatago siya sa isang hukay o sa ibang lugar. Mangyayari ito kapag napatay ang ilan sa iyong tauhan sa simula ng isang pagsalakay na sasabihin ng sinumang makarinig nito, “Isang malupit na pagpatay ang naganap sa mga sundalong sumunod kay Absalom.'
10 Then even the one who is brave, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will utterly melt; for all Israel knows that your father is a warrior, and those who are with him are brave men.
Pagkatapos kahit na siguro ang matatapang na mandirigma, na ang mga puso ay katulad ng puso ng Leon, ay matatakot dahil alam ng buong Israel na isang magiting na tao ang iyong ama at napakalakas ng kalalakihang kasama niya.
11 But, I strongly advise as follows: Let all Israel be gathered to you from Dan to Beersheba, as the sand that is by the sea in number, and that you personally go into battle.
Kaya pinapayuhan kita na dapat sama-samang magtipon ang buong Israel sa iyo, mula sa Dan hanggang Beer-seba, kasindami ng buhangin na nasa tabing-dagat at pupunta ka mismo sa labanan.
12 So we will come upon him in some place where he can be found, and we will fall on him as the dew falls on the ground, and of him and all the men with him not one will be left.
Pagkatapos pupunta tayo sa kaniya kahit saan man siya matagpuan at lulukuban natin siya tulad ng hamog na nuhuhulog sa lupa. Wala tayong ititira kahit isa sa kaniyang tauhan, o siya mismo na buhay.
13 Moreover, if he withdraws into a city, then all Israel will take up ropes to that city, and we will drag it into the riverbed, until there isn't one pebble to be found there."
Kung tatakas siya sa isang lungsod, sa gayon magdadala ang buong Israel sa lungsod na iyan ng mga lubid at hihilain natin ito sa ilog, hanggang sa wala nang kahit isang maliit na bato ang matatagpuan doon.”
14 Then Absalom and all Israel said, "The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel." For the LORD had commanded that Ahithophel's counsel should be defeated, so that that the LORD could bring Absalom to ruin.
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Absalom at ng kalalakihan ng Israel, “Mas mabuti ang payo ni Cusai ang Arkite kaysa kay Ahitofel.” Itinalaga ni Yahweh ang pagtanggi sa mabuting payo ni Ahitofel para magdala ng kapahamakan kay Absalom.
15 Then Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, "Here is the council Ahithophel gave Absalom and the elders of Israel, and here is what I counseled.
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Cusai kina Zadok at Abiatar na mga pari, “Pinayuhan ni Ahitofel sina Absalom at ang mga nakatatanda ng Israel sa gayon at sa gayong paraan, pero nagpayo ako ng ibang bagay.
16 Now therefore send quickly and tell David, saying, 'Do not stay the night at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means pass over. Otherwise the king and all the people who are with him will be swallowed up.'"
Kaya ngayon, magmadaling umalis at ibalita kay David; sabihin sa kaniya, 'Huwag magkampo ngayong gabi sa mga tawiran ng Araba, pero tiyaking tumawid sa lahat ng paraan, o masasakmal ang hari kasama ang lahat ng taong kasama niya.'''
17 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at En Rogel, and a female servant was to go and tell them, and they would go and inform king David. For they were not to be seen going into the city.
Ngayon si Jonatan at Ahimaaz ay nananatili sa balon ng Rogel; madalas pumunta ang isang babaeng lingkod at nagdadala ng mga mensahe sa kanila. Pagkatapos aalis sila at sasabihin kay Haring David, para hindi sila makita na pumupunta sa lungsod.
18 But a young man saw them and told Absalom. So they both departed quickly and reached the house of a man in Bahurim who had a well in his courtyard, and they went down into it.
Pero nakita sila ng isang binata at sinabi kay Absalom. Kaya nagmadaling umalis sina Jonatan at Ahimaaz at dumating sa bahay ng isang tao sa Bahurim, na may isang balon sa kaniyang patyo, kung saan sila bumaba.
19 And the woman took a covering and spread it over the top of the well and scattered some grain on it, so that nothing could be noticed.
Kinuha ng asawa ng lalaki ang pantakip ng balon at inilatag ito sa bukana ng balon at hinagisan ito ng trigo, kaya walang isa ang nakakaalam na nasa balon sina Jonatan at Ahimaaz.
20 Then Absalom's servants came to the woman at the house, and they asked, "Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?" And the woman said to them, "They have crossed the brook of water." And when they had searched and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.
Dumating ang mga tauhan ni Absalom sa bahay ng babae at sinabing, “Nasaan sina Ahimaaz at Jonatan?” Sinabi sa kanila ng babae, “Tumawid sila sa ilog.” Kaya pagkatapos nilang maghanap sa paligid at hindi sila natagpuan, bumalik sila sa Jerusalem.
21 It came about after they had left that they climbed out of the well, and left and told king David. And they said to him, "Get up and cross quickly over the water, for Ahithophel has given such and such counsel against you."
Pagkapos nang umalis sila umakyat sina Jonatan at Ahimaaz mula sa balon. Nagtungo sila kay haring David para mag-ulat; sinabi nila sa kaniya, “Bumangon ka at magmadaling tumawid sa tubig dahil nagbigay si Ahitofel ng gayon at gayong payo tungkol sa iyo.”
22 Then David and all the people who were with him got up and they crossed the Jordan. By dawn there was no one left who had not crossed the Jordan.
Pagkatapos bumangon si David at ang lahat ng taong kasama niya, at tumawid sila sa Jordan. Pagliwanag ng umaga walang isa sa kanila ang nabigong tumawid sa Jordan.
23 Now when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his donkey and went up to his home in his city. Then he set his house in order and hanged himself, and he died and was buried in the tomb of his father.
Nang makita ni Ahitofel na hindi sinunod ang kaniyang payo, nilagyan niya ng upuan ang kaniyang asno at umalis. Umuwi siya sa kaniyang sariling lungsod, inayos ang kaniyang mga bagay-bagay at nagbigti siya. Sa ganitong paraan namatay siya at inilibing sa libingan ng kaniyang ama.
24 Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom crossed the Jordan, he and all Israel with him.
Pagkatapos dumating si David sa Mahanaim. Samantalang si Absalom, tumawid siya sa Jordan, siya at ang lahat ng kalalakihan ng Israel na kasama niya.
25 And Absalom had put Amasa over the army in place of of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Jether the Ishmaelite, who had married Abigail the daughter of Jesse, sister to Zeruiah, Joab's mother.
Pagkatapos ginawang pinuno ni Absalom si Amasa sa hukbo sa halip na si Joab. Si Amasa ay anak na lalaki ni Jeter na Israelita na sumiping kay Abigail, anak na babae ni Nahas at kapatid ni Zeruias, ang ina ni Joab.
26 So Israel and Absalom camped in the land of Gilead.
Pagkatapos nagkampo ang Israel at si Absalom sa lupain ng Galaad.
27 Now it happened when David came to Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah of the people of Ammon, Makir the son of Ammiel of Lo Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,
Nang dumating si David sa Mahanaim, sina Sobi anak na lalaki ni Nahas mula sa Rabba na mga taga-Ammon at Maquir anak na lalaki ni Ammiel mula sa Lo Debar at Barzilai na taga-Galaad na mula sa Rogelim,
28 brought couches for sleeping, and covers, and basins, and pottery utensils, and wheat, and barley, and meal, and parched grain, and beans, and lentils,
nagdala ng mga tulugang banig at mga kumot, mga mangkok at mga banga, mga trigo at harinang sebada, sinangag na butil, mga patani, mga lentil,
29 and honey, and curd of the flock, and cheese of the herd. And they presented them to David and to the people who were with him to eat. For they said, "The people are hungry and tired and thirsty in the wilderness."
pulot, mantikilya, tupa at keso. Kaya maaaring kumain si David at ang mga taong kasama niya. Sinabi ng mga lalaking ito, “Gutom ang mga tao, pagod at uhaw sa ilang.”
