2 Samuel 15

1 And it came to pass, after this, that Absolom prepared him chariots and horses, —and fifty men, to run before him.

Pagkatapos nito naghanda si Absalom ng isang karo at mga kabayo para sa kaniyang sarili, kasama ang limampung tauhan para tumakbo sa kaniyang unahan.

2 And Absolom used to rise up early, and take his stand beside the way of the gate, —and so it was—when any man who had a controversy would come unto the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said: Of what city, art, thou? And he said, Of one of the tribes of Israel, is thy servant. And Absolom said unto him,

Babangon ng maaga si Absalom at tatayo sa tabi ng daang papasok sa tarangkahan ng lungsod. Kapag pumunta sa hari ang sinumang may isang alitan para sa paghahatol, sa gayon tatawagin siya ni Absalom at sasabihing, “Mula sa anong lungsod ka galing?” At sasagot ang lalaki, “Nanggaling ang iyong lingkod sa isa sa mga lipi ng Israel.”

3 See! thy cause, is good and right, —but, to hear it, thou hast no one, from the king.

Kaya sasabihin ni Absalom sa kaniya, “Tingnan mo, mabuti at tama ang iyong kaso, pero walang isang binigyan ang hari ng kapangyarihan para dinggin ang iyong kaso.”

4 And Absalom said, Oh would that I were appointed to judge in the land! that, unto me, might come every man having a complaint or a defence, then would I see him righted.

Idinagdag ni Absalom, “Nais kong maging hukom ako sa lupain, para ang bawat taong may anumang alitan o dahilan ay maaaring makalapit sa akin at bibigyan ko siya ng katarungan!”

5 Moreover, so it used to be, that, when any man came near to do him homage, he would put forth his hand, and lay hold of him, and kiss him.

Nangyari ito ng may papalapit na isang tao kay Absalom para parangalan siya, iaabot ni Absalom ang kaniyang kamay at hahawakan siya at hahalikan siya.

6 And Absolom did, after this manner, to all Israel who came for judgment, unto the king, —so Absolom stole away the heart of the men of Israel.

Kumilos si Absalom sa ganitong paraan sa buong Israel na pumupunta sa hari para sa paghahatol. Kaya nakuha ni Absalom ang mga puso ng kalalakihan ng Israel.

7 And it came to pass, at the end of forty years, that Absolom said unto the king—Let me go, I pray thee, that I may pay my vow which I have vowed unto Yahweh, in Hebron;

Pagkatapos ng apat na taon sinabi ni Absalom sa hari, “Pakiusap pahintulutan mo akong umalis at tuparin ang isang panatang aking ginawa kay Yahweh sa Hebron.

8 for thy servant vowed, a vow, while I abode in Geshur in Syria, saying, —If Yahweh, will but bring me back, unto Jerusalem, then will I serve Yahweh,

Dahil gumawa ang iyong lingkod ng isang panata habang naninirahan ako sa Gesur sa Aram, sa pagsasabing; “Kung talagang dadalhin ulit ako ni Yahweh sa Jerusalem, sa gayon sasambahin ko si Yahweh.”'

9 And the king said unto him—Go and prosper! So he arose and went to Hebron.

Kaya sinabi ng hari sa kaniya, “Umalis nang mapayapa.” Kaya tumayo si Absalom at pumunta sa Hebron.

10 And Absolom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, —When ye hear the sound of the horn, then shall ye say, Absolom hath become king in Hebron!

Pero pagkatapos nagpadala si Absalom ng mga espiya sa lahat ng mga lipi ng Israel, na nagsasabing, “Sa sandaling marinig ninyo ang tunog ng trumpeta, sa gayon dapat ninyong sabihin, 'Si Absalom ay hari sa Hebron.”'

11 And, with Absolom, went two hundred men, out of Jerusalem, who, having been bidden, were going in their simplicity, —neither knew they anything.

Kasama ni Absalom na pumunta ang dalawang-daang kalalakihang mula sa Jerusalem, na kaniyang inanyayahan. Pumunta sila nang walang kamalayan, walang nalalaman sa anumang bagay na binalak ni Absalom.

12 And Absalom sent and called Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counsellor, out of his city, out of Gilo, when he was offering sacrifices, —and so it was that the conspiracy was strong, and, the people, went on multiplying with Absolom.

Habang naghahandog si Absalom ng mga alay, ipinatawag niya si Ahitofel mula sa kaniyang bayang pinagmulan sa Gilo. Tagapayo siya ni David. Matindi ang pakikipagsabwatan ni Absalom, dahil patuloy na dumadami ang mga taong sumusunod kay Absalom.

13 Then came one bearing tidings unto David, saying, —It hath come about, that the heart of the men of Israel goeth after Absolom.

Isang mensahero ang dumating kay David na nagsasabing, “Sumusunod kay Absalom ang mga puso ng kalalakihan ng Israel.”

14 Then said David, to all his servants who were with him in Jerusalem—Arise and let us flee, or we shall have no way of escape from the face of Absolom, —make speed to depart, lest he make speed, and so overtake us, and bring down misfortune upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.

Kaya sinabi ni David sa lahat ng kaniyang lingkod na kasama niya sa Jerusalem, “Tumayo at tumakas tayo, o walang isa sa atin ang makakaligtas mula kay Absalom. Maghanda para makaalis agad, o mabilis niya tayong maaabutan at magdadala siya ng kapahamakan sa atin at sasalakayin ang lungsod sa pamamagitan ng talim ng espada.”

15 And the king’s servants said unto the king, —According to all that my lord the king shall choose, here are thy servants.

Sinabi ng mga lingkod sa hari, “Tingnan, handa ang iyong mga lingkod na gawin ang anumang ipasya ng aming panginoong hari.”

16 So the king went forth, with all his household attending him, —but the king left ten women who were concubines, to keep the house.

Umalis ang hari kasunod ang pamilya niya ay kasunod niya, pero iniwan ng hari ang sampung babae na mga kerida, para pangalagaan ang palasyo.

17 Thus then the king went forth, with all the people attending him, —and they came to a stand at a place that was far off.

Pagkatapos makaalis ng hari at ng lahat ng taong kasunod niya, huminto sila sa huling bahay.

18 And, all his servants, were passing on beside him, and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, —and, all the Gittites—six hundred men, who had accompanied him from Gath, —were passing on before the king.

Lumakad kasama niya ang kaniyang buong hukbo at nauna sa kaniya ang lahat ng mga taga-Ceret, at lahat ng taga-Pelet, at lahat ng taga-Gat ang lahat ng Peletheo at ang lahat ng Getheo—animnaraang kalalakihang sumunod sa kaniya ay mula sa Gat.

19 Then said the king, unto Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore shouldest, thou also, go with us? return and abide with the king, for, a stranger, art thou, moreover also, an exile, art thou from thine own country.

Pagkatapos sinabi ng hari kay Itai ang taga- Gat, “Bakit sumama ka rin sa amin? Bumalik at manatili kasama ni Haring Absalom, dahil isa kang dayuhan at isang pinalayas. Bumalik sa iyong sariling lugar.

20 Only yesterday, camest thou, and, today, shall I let thee wander with us, on our journey, seeing that, I, am going, whithersoever I may? Return and take back thy brethren with thee, and may Yahweh deal with thee in lovingkindness and faithfulness.

Yamang kahapon ka lang umalis, bakit maglalakbay kami kasama ka? Hindi ko alam kung saan ako pupunta. Kaya bumalik at isama ang iyong kababayan pabalik. Nawa'y mapasaiyo ang katapatan at pagkamatapat.”

21 But Ittai answered the king, and said, —By the life of Yahweh, and by the life of my lord the king, surely, in whatsoever place, my lord the king, may be, whether for death or for life, there will, thy servant, be.

Pero sinagot ni Itai ang hari at sinabing, “Habang nabubuhay si Yahweh at habang nabubuhay ang aking among hari, tunay na kahit sa anumang lugar pumunta ang aking among hari, doon din pupunta ang iyong lingkod kahit mangahulugan ito ng buhay o kamatayan.”

22 Then said David unto Ittai—Go, and pass on. So Ittai the Gittite passed on, with all his men, and all the little ones that were with him.

Kaya sinabi ni David kay Itai, “Mauna at magpatuloy kasama namin.” Kaya naglakbay si Itai na taga-Gat kasama ang hari, kasama ang lahat ng kaniyang tauhan at ang lahat ng pamilyang kasama niya.

23 And, fall the land, was weeping, with a loud voice, and, all the people, were passing on, —the king also, was passing on, through the torrent-bed of Kidron, and all the people were passing on over the face of the way leading to the wilderness.

Umiyak ng malakas ang buong bansa habang dumadaan ang lahat ng tao sa Lambak Kidron at habang tumatawid din mismo ang hari. Naglakbay ang lahat ng tao sa daan patungong ilang.

24 And lo! Zadok also, and all the Levites with him, were bearing the ark of the covenant of God, and they set down the ark of God, and Abiathar went up, until all the people had made an end of passing over out of the city.

Kahit si Zadok kasama ang lahat ng Levita, dala-dala ang kaban ng kautusan ng Diyos, ay naroon. Ibinaba nila ang kaban ng Diyos at sumama sa kanila si Abiatar. Naghintay sila hanggang sa makaraan ang lahat ng tao palabas ng lungsod.

25 Then said the king unto Zadok, Take back the ark of God into the city, —if I find favour in the eyes of Yahweh, then will he bring me back, and let me see both him and his habitation,

Sinabi ng hari kay Zadok, “Dalhin ang kaban ng Diyos pabalik sa lungsod. Kung makakasumpong ako ng biyaya sa mga mata ni Yahweh, dadalhin niya ako pabalik dito at ipapakitang muli sa akin ang kaban at ang lugar kung saan siya naninirahan.

26 but, if thus, he say, I have no delight in thee, here I am, let him do unto me as may be good in his eyes.

Pero kung sasabihin niyang, 'Hindi ako nasisiyahan sa iyo; tingnan, narito ako, hayaan siyang gawin sa akin kung ano ang mabuti sa kaniya.”

27 And the king said, unto Zadok the priest, Art thou not, a seer? return into the city, in peace, —and Ahimaaz thine own son, and Jonathan son of Abiathar—your two sons, with you.

Sinabi rin ng hari kay Zadok na pari, “Hindi kaba isang manghuhula?” Bumalik lungsod nang mapayapa at ang dalawa mong anak na lalaking kasama mo, sina Ahimaaz na anak mo at Jonatan na anak ni Abiatar.

28 See! I, am tarrying in the waste plains of the wilderness—until there come word from you, to tell me.

Tingnan, maghihintay ako sa mga tawiran ng Araba hanggang sa dumating ang salita mula sa iyo para sabihan ako.”

29 So Zadok and Abiathar took back the ark of God to Jerusalem, —and abode there.

Kaya dinala ni Zadok at Abiatar ang kaban ng Diyos pabalik sa Jerusalem at nanatili sila roon.

30 Now, David, was going up by the ascent of Olivet, weeping as he went up, with his head covered, himself, passing on barefoot, —and all the people who were with him, covered every man his head, and went up, weeping as they went.

Pero umakyat si David nang nakapaa at umiiyak paakyat sa Bundok ng mga Olibo, at tinakpan niya ang kaniyang ulo. Tinakpan ng bawat isang mga taong kasama niya ang kanilang ulo at umakyat silang umiiyak habang naglalakad.

31 And, unto David, it was told, saying, Ahithophel, is among the conspirators with Absolom. And David said, Turn to foolishness, I pray thee, the counsel of Ahithophel, O Yahweh.

May isang taong nakapagsabi kay David na, “Si Ahitofel ay kasama sa mga kasabwat ni Absalom.” Kaya nanalangin si David, “O Yahweh, pakiusap gawin mong kahangalan ang payo ni Ahitofel.”

32 And it came to pass, when David reached the summit, where he bowed himself down unto God, that lo! there met him, Hushai the Archite, his tunic rent, and earth upon his head.

Nang nakarating si David sa tuktok ng daan, kung saan nakagawiang sambahin ang Diyos, dumating si Cusai na Arkita para salubungin siya na punit ang kaniyang damit at may lupa sa kaniyang ulo.

33 And David said unto him, —If thou pass over with me, then shalt thou become unto me, a burden;

Sinabi ni David sa kaniya, “Kung maglalakbay ka kasama ko, sa gayon magiging isang pabigat ka sa akin.

34 but, if, to the city, thou return, then canst thou say unto Absolom—Thy servant, I, O king, will be, as, the servant of thy father, I was formerly, so will I, now, be thy servant: thus shalt thou frustrate for me the counsel of Ahithophel.

Pero kung babalik ka sa lungsod at sasabihin kay Absalom, 'Magiging lingkod mo ako, hari, gaya ng paglilingkod ko dati sa iyong ama,' kaya magiging lingkod mo ako ngayon; pagkatapos guguluhin mo ang payo ni Ahitofel para sa akin.

35 And hast thou not, with thee, there Zadok and Abiathar the priests? so then it shall be, that, what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the house of the king, thou shalt tell to Zadok and to Abiathar, the priests.

Hindi mo ba makakasama roon si Abiatar at Zadok na mga pari? Kaya kahit ano ang marinig mo sa palasyo ng hari, dapat mong sabihin ito kina Zadok at Abiatar na mga pari.

36 Lo! they have there with them, their two sons, Ahimaaz for Zadok, and Jonathan for Abiathar, —so shall ye send, by their hand, unto me, everything which ye shall hear.

Makikita mo na kasama nila roon ang kanilang dalawang anak, sina Ahimaaz, anak na lalaki ni Zadok at Jonatan, anak na lalaki ni Abiatar. Dapat mong ipadala sa akin sa pamamagitan ng kanilang kamay ang lahat ng bagay na marinig mo.”

37 So Hushai, David’s friend, went into the city, —when, Absolom, was about to enter Jerusalem.

Kaya pumunta si Cusai, kaibigan ni David sa lungsod habang dumating at pumasok si Absalom sa Jerusalem.
