2 Kings 6
1 And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, —See, we pray thee, the place wherein we sit before thee, is too strait for us.
Sinabi ng mga anak ng mga propeta kay Eliseo, “Ang lugar kung saan kami nakatira kasama ka ay masyadong maliit para sa ating lahat.
2 Let us go, we pray thee, as far as the Jordan, and fetch from thence every man a single beam, and let us make us a place wherein we may sit. And he said—Go ye.
Hayaan mo kaming pumunta sa Jordan, at magputol ng puno roon at magtayo ng matitirahan.” Tumugon si Eliseo sinabing, “Sige.”
3 Then said one—Be content, we pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he said—I myself, will go.
Sinabi ng isa sa kanila, “Pakiusap samahan mo ang iyong mga lingkod.” Sumagot si Eliseo, “Sasama ako.”
4 So he went with them, —and, when they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.
Kaya sumama siya sa kanila, at nang makarating sila sa Jordan, nag-umpisa silang magputol ng mga puno.
5 And it came to pass, as one was felling a branch, that, the axe-head, fell into the water, so he made outcry and said—Alas! my lord, for, it, was borrowed!
Pero habang nagpuputol ang isa sa kanila, nalaglag ang ulo ng palakol sa tubig; sumigaw siya at sinabinig, “Naku, panginoon, hiniram ko lang iyon!”
6 And the man of God said—Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a piece of wood and cast it in thither, and the iron did swim.
Kaya sinabi ng lingkod ng Diyos, “Saan ito nahulog?” Tinuro ng lalaki kay Eliseo ang lugar. Pumutol siya ngayon siya ng isang patpat, tinapon ito sa tubig at pinalutang ang palakol.
7 And he said—Take it up to thee. So he put forth his hand, and took it.
Sinabi ni Eliseo, “Kunin mo.” Kaya inabot ito ng lalaki ng kaniyang kamay.
8 Now, the king of Syria, was making war against Israel, —so he took counsel with his servants, saying—In such and such a place, shall be my encampment.
Ngayon nakikipagdigma ang hari ng Aram laban sa Israel. Sumangguni siya sa kaniyang mga lingkod, sinasabing, “Ang kampo ko ay nasa ganitong lugar.”
9 The man of God, therefore, sent unto the king of Israel, saying—Beware of passing by this place, —for, thither, are the Syrians coming down.
Kaya nagpunta ang lingkod ng Diyos sa hari ng Israel, sinasabing, “Sikapin ninyong hindi dumaan sa lugar na iyon, dahil ang mga Aramean ay bababa roon.”
10 So the king of Israel sent unto the place whereof the man of God had spoken to him and warned him, and was on his guard there, —not once nor twice
Pagkatapos nagpadala ang hari ng Israel ng mga tauhan sa lugar na iyon kung saan binalaan siya ng lingkod ng Diyos. Iniligtas siya ng babalang iyon ng ilang beses.
11 Then was the heart of the king of Syria disquieted concerning this thing, —and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not tell me, who of our men are for the king of Israel?
Gulong-gulo ang isip ng hari ng Aram dahil sa babalang ito, at tinawag niya ang kaniyang mga lingkod at sinabi sa kanila, “Wala ba sa inyo ang magsasabi kung sino sa inyo ang pumapanig sa hari ng Israel?”
12 Then said one of his servants, None, my lord O king, —but, Elisha, the prophet, who is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words which thou speakest in thy bed-chamber.
Kaya sinabi ng isa sa kaniyang mga lingkod, “Hindi, panginoong hari, dahil si Eliseo na propeta ng Israel ang nagsasabi sa hari ng Israel ng mga sinasabi mo sa iyong silid!”
13 And he said—Go, and see where he is, that I may send and take him. And it was told him, saying—Lo! in Dothan.
Tumugon ang hari, “Humayo kayo at tingnan ninyo kung nasaan si Eliseo nang makapagpadala ako ng mga tauhan para dakpin siya.” At sinabi sa kaniya, “Nasa Dotan siya.”
14 Therefore sent he thither—horses and chariots, and a strong force, —and they came in by night, and encompassed the city.
Kaya nagpadala ang hari ng mga kabayo, mga karwahe at isang malaking hukbo sa Dotan. Dumating sila nang gabi at pinalibutan ang lungsod.
15 And, when the attendant of the man of God arose early and went forth, lo! a force surrounding the city, with horses and chariots. Then said his young man unto him—Alas! my lord, what shall we do?
Nang ang alipin ng lingkod ng Diyos ay maagang bumangon at lumabas, pagmasdan mo, isang malaking hukbo at mga kabayo ang nakapaligid sa lungsod. Sinabi ng kaniyang alipin sa kaniya, “Panginoon! Anong gagawin natin?”
16 And he said—Do not fear, —for, more, are, they who are with us, than, they who are with them.
Sumagot si Eliseo, “Huwag kang matakot, dahil ang mga kasama natin ay higit na mas marami kumpara sa kanila.”
17 Then prayed Elisha, and said, O Yahweh! open, I beseech thee, his eyes, that he may see. And Yahweh opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and lo! the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire, round about Elisha.
Nanalangin si Eliseo at sinabing, “Yahweh, Nakiki-usap ako na buksan mo ang mga mata niya nang makakita siya.” Kaya't binuksan ni Yahweh ang mga mata ng kaniyang alipin at nakakita siya. Ang bundok ay puno ng mga kabayo at karwahe na nag-aapoy sa paligid ni Eliseo!
18 And, when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto Yahweh, and said—Smite, I beseech thee, this people, with sudden blindness. And he smote them with sudden blindness, according to the word of Elisha.
Nang bumaba ang mga Aramean sa kaniya, nanalangin si Eliseo kay Yahweh at sinabing, “Hinihiling kong bulagin mo sila.” Kaya't binulag sila ni Yahweh, gaya ng hiling ni Eliseo.
19 Then Elisha said unto them—This, is not the way, neither is, this, the city, follow me, that I may lead you unto the man, whom ye would secure! So he led them to Samaria.
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Eliseo sa mga Aramean, “Hindi ito ang daan, ni ito ang lungsod. Sumunod kayo sa akin at dadalhin ko kayo sa taong hinahanap ninyo.” At dinala niya sila sa Samaria.
20 And it came to pass, when they had entered Samaria, that Elisha said, O Yahweh! open the eyes of these men, that they may see! And Yahweh opened their eyes, and they saw, and lo! they were in the midst of Samaria!
Nang dumating sila sa Samaria, sinabi ni Eliseo, “Buksan mo ang mga mata nila, Yahweh, nang makakita sila.” Binuksan ni Yahweh ang mga mata nila at nakakita sila, at nakita nilang nasa gitna sila ng lungsod ng Samaria.
21 Then said the king of Israel unto Elisha, when he saw them, —Shall I smite—shall I smite, my father?
Nang makita sila ng hari ng Israel, sinabi niya kay Eliseo, “Ama, dapat ko na ba silang patayin? Papatayin ko na ba sila?”
22 And he said—Thou shalt not smite. Them whom thou hadst taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow, wouldst, thou, have been smiting? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go their way unto their lord.
Sumagot si Eliseo, “Huwag mo silang patayin. Papatayin mo ba silang mga kinuha mong bihag gamit ang espada at pana mo? Maghain ka ng tinapay at tubig sa kanila para makakain at makainom sila at makapunta sa kanilang panginoon.”
23 And he made for them a great feast, and, when they had eaten and drunk, he let them go, and they went their way unto their lord. So then, troops of Syrians came again, no more, into the land of Israel.
Kaya't naghain ng pagkain ang hari para sa kanila, at nang nakakain at nakainom sila, pinalaya niya sila at pinabalik sa kanilang panginoon. Ang mga grupo ng sundalong Aramean na iyon ay hindi bumalik sa lupain ng Israel nang mahabang panahon.
24 But it came to pass, after this, that Ben-hadad king of Syria gathered together all his host, —and came up and laid siege against Samaria.
Matapos nito, tinipon ni Ben Hadad, hari ng Aram, ang lahat ng kaniyang hukbo at lumusob sa Samaria at binihag ito.
25 And there came to be, a great famine, in Samaria, and lo! they continued the siege against it, —until an ass’s head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and one pint of dove’s dung for five pieces of silver.
Kaya't nagkaroon ng matinding taggutom sa Samaria. Binihag nila ito hanggang ang isang asno ay maibenta sa halagang walumpung pirasong pilak, at ikaapat na bahagi ng isang kab ng dumi ng kalapati sa halagang limang pirasong pilak.
26 And so it was that, as the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman, made outcry unto him, saying—Save, my lord, O king!
Habang dumadaan ang hari ng Israel sa may pader, isang babae ang umiyak sa kaniya, sinasabing, “Tulungan mo ako, panginoong hari.”
27 And he said—If Yahweh do not save thee, whence should I save thee? out of the threshing-floor or out of the wine-press?
Sinabi niya, “Kung hindi ka tinutulungan ni Yahweh, paano kita matutulungan? Mayroon bang nanggagaling sa giikan o pigaan ng alak?”
28 And the king said to her—What aileth thee? And she said—This woman, said unto me—Give thy son, that we may eat him, to-day, and, my son, will we eat to-morrow.
Sinabi pa ng hari, “Ano ang bumabagabag sa iyo?” Tumugon siya, “Sinabi ng babeng ito sa akin, 'Ibigay mo sa akin ang iyong anak para kainin natin ngayon, at bukas kakainin natin ang anak ko.'”
29 So we cooked my son, and did eat him, —and I said unto her, on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him; But she had hid her son.
Kaya't nilaga namin ang anak ko at kinain ito, at sinabi ko sa kaniya kinabukasan, “'Ibigay mo sa akin ang iyong anak para kainin natin, pero tinago niya ito.”
30 And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes, while yet he was passing by upon the wall, —so the people looked, and lo! sackcloth upon his flesh, within.
Kaya nang narinig ng hari ang sinabi ng babae, pinunit niya ang kaniyang damit (dumadaan siya sa may pader), at tumingin ang mga tao at nakita na mayroon siyang sako bilang panloob na kasuotan.
31 And he said—So, let God do to me, and, so, let him add, —if the head of Elisha son of Shaphat remain on him, to-day!
Sinabi niya, “Parusahan nawa ako ng Diyos, at lalong higit pa, kung matatapos ang araw na nananatili pa rin ang ulo ni Eliseo sa kaniya, anak ni Safat.”
32 Now, Elisha, being seated in his house, and, the elders, seated with him, —when he had sent a man from before him, ere yet the messenger could come in unto him, he himself, said unto the elders—Do ye see how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away my head? See! when the messenger is coming in, close ye the door, and press him back with the door, is not the sound of his lord’s feet behind him?
Pero nakaupo si Eliseo sa kaniyang bahay kasama ng mga nakatatanda. Nagpadala ng tao ang hari pero nang dumating ang mensahero kay Eliseo, sinabi niya sa mga nakatatanda, “Tingnan ninyo kung paanong nagpadala ng tao ang anak ng mamamatay-tao na ito para patayin ako? Kapag dumating siya, isara ninyo ang pinto at pigilan ninyong mabuksan niya ito. Hindi ba't kasunod niya ay ang mga yapak ng kaniyang panginoon?”
33 While yet he was speaking with them, lo! the messenger, coming down unto him, —and he said, —Lo! this, is a calamity from Yahweh, why should I wait for Yahweh, any longer?
Habang nakikipag-usap siya sa kanila, dumating ang mensahero sa kaniya. Sinabi ng hari, “Ang suliraning ito ay galing kay Yahweh. Bakit kailangan ko pang maghintay kay Yahweh?”
