1 Kings 2
1 When David [knew that he] was about to die, he gave these final instructions to his son Solomon:
Ang mga araw nga ni David na ikamamatay ay nalalapit; at kaniyang ibinilin kay Salomon na kaniyang anak, na sinasabi,
2 “I am about to die [EUP], like everyone else on earth does. Be courageous and conduct yourself as an adult should.
Ako'y yumayaon ng lakad ng buong lupa; ikaw ay magpakalakas nga at magpakalalake;
3 Do what Yahweh our God tells you to do. Conduct yourself as he wants you to do. Obey all of his laws and commands and precepts and instructions that are written in the laws that Moses [gave us]. Do this in order that you will prosper in all that you do and wherever you go.
At iyong ingatan ang bilin ng Panginoon mong Dios, na lumakad sa kaniyang mga daan, na ingatan ang kaniyang mga palatuntunan, ang kaniyang mga utos, at ang kaniyang mga kahatulan, at ang kaniyang mga patotoo, ayon sa nasusulat sa kautusan ni Moises, upang ikaw ay guminhawa sa lahat ng iyong ginagawa, at saan ka man pumihit:
4 If you continually do that, Yahweh will do what he promised me: He said, ‘If your descendants do what I tell them to do, and faithfully obey my commands with all their inner beings, they will always be [LIT] the ones who will rule [MTY] Israel.’
Upang papagtibayin ng Panginoon ang kaniyang salita na kaniyang sinalita tungkol sa akin, na sinasabi, Kung ang iyong mga anak ay magsisipagingat sa kanilang lakad, na lalakad sa harap ko sa katotohanan ng kanilang buong puso at ng kanilang buong kaluluwa, hindi ka kukulangin (sabi niya) ng lalake sa luklukan ng Israel.
5 “There is something else [that I want you to do]. You know what Joab did to me. He killed my two army commanders, Abner and Amasa. He murdered them violently [MTY] during a time of peace, pretending that it was a time of war. Those two men (were innocent/had not done what was wrong). But Joab [killed them and] their blood to stain his belt and his sandals.
Bukod dito'y talastas mo naman ang ginawa ni Joab na anak ni Sarvia sa akin, sa makatuwid baga'y ang ginawa niya sa dalawang puno ng mga hukbo ng Israel, kay Abner na anak ni Ner, at kay Amasa na anak ni Jether na kaniyang pinatay, at ibinubo sa kapayapaan ang dugo ng pakikidigma at nabubo ang dugo ng pakikidigma sa kaniyang bigkis na nasa kaniyang mga balakang, at sa loob ng kaniyang mga pangyapak na nasa kaniyang mga paa.
6 Because you are wise, do to him what you think is best [for you to do], but do not allow him to become old [MTY] and then die [IDM] peacefully. (Sheol h7585)
Gumawa ka nga ng ayon sa iyong karunungan, at huwag mong tulutang ang kaniyang uban sa ulo ay bumabang payapa sa Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
7 “But be kind to the sons of Barzillai, the man from [the] Gilead [region], and be sure that they always have enough food to eat [MTY]. Do that because Barzillai helped me when I was running away from your older brother Absalom.
Nguni't pagpakitaan mo ng kagandahang loob ang mga anak ni Barzillai na Galaadita, at maging kabilang sa nagsisikain sa iyong dulang; sapagka't gayon sila nagsilapit sa akin nang ako'y tumakas kay Absalom na iyong kapatid.
8 Also, [you remember] Gera’s son Shimei from Bahurim [town] in the area where the descendants of Benjamin live. [You know what he did to me]. He cursed me terribly on the day I [left Jerusalem and] went to Mahanaim [town]. But when he later came down to see me at the Jordan [River], I solemnly promised, while Yahweh listened [MTY], that I would not cause him to be executed.
At, narito, nasa iyo si Semei na anak ni Gera na Benjamita, na taga Bahurim, na siyang sumumpa sa akin ng mahigpit na sumpa nang araw na ako'y pumaroon sa Mahanaim: nguni't nilusong niyang sinalubong ako sa Jordan, at isinumpa ko sa kaniya ang Panginoon, na sinasabi, Hindi kita papatayin ng tabak.
9 But now you must [LIT] surely punish him. You are a wise man, so you will know what you should do to him. He is an old man [MTY], but be sure that he [loses/sheds] a lot of blood when you kill him [MTY].” (Sheol h7585)
Ngayon nga'y huwag mong ariing walang sala, sapagka't ikaw ay lalaking pantas: at iyong maaalaman ang dapat gawin sa kaniya, at iyong ilusong na may dugo ang kaniyang uban sa ulo sa Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
10 Then David died [EUP] and was buried in [that part of Jerusalem which was called] ‘The City of David’.
At si David ay natulog na kasama ng kaniyang mga magulang, at nalibing sa bayan ni David.
11 David had been the king of Israel for 40 years: He ruled for seven years in Hebron and for 33 years in Jerusalem.
At ang mga araw na ipinaghari ni David sa Israel ay apat na pung taon: pitong taong naghari siya sa Hebron, at tatlong pu't tatlong taong naghari siya sa Jerusalem.
12 Solomon became the ruler/king [MTY] to take the place of his father David and took control of all of the kingdom.
At si Salomon ay naupo sa luklukan ni David na kaniyang ama: at ang kaniyang kaharian ay natatag na mainam.
13 [One day] Adonijah came to Solomon’s mother Bathsheba. She said to him, “Have you come because you want things to go well?” He replied, “Yes.”
Nang magkagayo'y si Adonia na anak ni Hagith ay naparoon kay Bath-sheba na ina ni Salomon. At kaniyang sinabi, Naparirito ka bang payapa? At sinabi niya, Payapa.
14 But then he said, “I have something to ask you to do.” She said, “Tell me [what you want me to do].”
Kaniyang sinabi bukod dito: Mayroon pa akong sasabihin sa iyo. At sinabi niya, Sabihin mo.
15 He said, “You know that all the Israeli people expected me to be their king [because I am David’s oldest surviving son]. But that did not happen. Instead, my [younger] brother became king, because that is what Yahweh wanted.
At kaniyang sinabi, Talastas mo na ang kaharian ay naging akin, at itinitig ng buong Israel ang kanilang mukha sa akin, upang ako'y maghari: gayon ma'y ang kaharian ay nagbago, at napasa aking kapatid: sapagka't kaniya sa ganang Panginoon.
16 Now I have one thing that I ask you to do. Please do not refuse to do it.” She replied, “Tell me [what you want me to do].”
At ngayo'y hihingi ako ng isang hiling sa iyo, huwag mo akong pahindian. At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Sabihin mo.
17 He said, “Please ask King Solomon to give to me Abishag, the woman from Shunem [town], to be my wife. [I am sure that] he will not refuse.”
At kaniyang sinabi, Isinasamo ko sa iyo na iyong salitain kay Salomon na hari, (sapagka't hindi siya pahihindi sa iyo, ) na ibigay niyang asawa sa akin si Abisag na Sunamita.
18 Bathsheba replied, “Okay, I will speak to the king for you.”
At sinabi ni Bath-sheba, Mabuti; aking ipakikiusap ka sa hari.
19 So Bathsheba went to King Solomon, to tell him what Adonijah wanted. The king got up [from his throne] and went to greet her and bowed down to her. Then he sat on his throne again and asked someone to bring a chair for her. So she sat down at the king’s right side.
Si Bath-sheba nga'y naparoon sa haring Salomon, upang ipakiusap sa kaniya si Adonia. At tumindig ang hari na sinalubong siya, at yumukod siya sa kaniya, at umupo sa kaniyang luklukan, at nagpalagay ng luklukan para sa ina ng hari; at siya'y naupo sa kaniyang kanan.
20 Then she said, “I have one small thing which I want you to do; please do not say that you will not do it.” The king replied, “Mother, what do you want? I will not refuse you.”
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi niya, Ako'y humihingi ng isang munting hiling sa iyo: huwag mo akong pahindian. At sinabi ng hari sa kaniya, Hilingin mo, ina ko: sapagka't hindi kita pahihindian.
21 She said, “Allow Abishag to be given to your [older] brother Adonijah to be his wife.”
At sinabi niya, Ibigay mong asawa si Abisag na Sunamita sa iyong kapatid na kay Adonia.
22 The king replied [angrily], “What? Are you requesting me to give Abishag to Adonijah? [Does he want me] to allow him to rule the kingdom, too? Because he is my older brother, [does he think that he should be the king]? Does he think that Abiathar should be the priest [instead of Zadok], and that Joab [should be the army commander instead of Benaiah] because they supported him [when he tried to become the king]?”
At ang haring Salomon ay sumagot, at nagsabi sa kaniyang ina, At bakit mo hinihiling si Abisag na Sunamita para kay Adonia? hilingin mo para sa kaniya pati ng kaharian; sapagka't siya'y aking matandang kapatid; oo, para sa kaniya, at kay Abiathar na saserdote, at kay Joab na anak ni Sarvia.
23 Then Solomon solemnly promised, requesting Yahweh to listen, “I wish God would strike me and kill me if I do not cause Adonijah to be executed for requesting this!
Nang magkagayo'y isinumpa ng haring Salomon ang Panginoon, na sinasabi, Hatulan ako ng Dios, at lalo na kung si Adonia ay hindi nagsalita ng salitang ito laban sa kaniyang sariling buhay.
24 Yahweh has appointed me to be the king and placed me here to rule [MTY] as my father David did. He has promised that my descendants [MTY] will be the kings of Israel. So just as surely as Yahweh lives, I solemnly promise that Adonijah will be executed today!”
Ngayon nga'y buhay ang Panginoon, na nagtatag sa akin, at naglagay sa akin sa luklukan ni David na aking ama, at siyang gumawa sa akin ng isang bahay, gaya ng kaniyang ipinangako, tunay na si Adonia ay papatayin sa araw na ito.
25 So King Solomon gave orders to Benaiah to [go and] kill Adonijah, and Benaiah did that.
At nagsugo ang haring Salomon sa pamamagitan ng kamay ni Benaia na anak ni Joiada; at siyang dumaluhong sa kaniya, na anopa't siya'y namatay.
26 Then Solomon said to Abiathar the priest, “Go to Anathoth [town], to your land there. You deserve to be killed, but I will not execute you now, because you were the one who [supervised the men who] carried Yahweh’s Sacred Chest for David my father, and you endured all the troubles that my father endured.”
At kay Abiathar na saserdote ay sinabi ng hari, Umuwi ka sa Anathoth, sa iyong sariling mga bukid; sapagka't ikaw ay karapatdapat sa kamatayan: nguni't sa panahong ito'y hindi kita papatayin, sapagka't iyong dinala ang kaban ng Panginoong Dios sa harap ni David na aking ama, at sapagka't ikaw ay napighati sa lahat ng kinapighatian ng aking ama.
27 So Solomon dismissed Abiathar from being the priest of Yahweh. By doing that he caused to happen what Yahweh had said [many years previously] at Shiloh, [that some day he would get rid] of the descendants [MTY] of Eli.
Sa gayo'y inalis ni Salomon si Abiathar sa pagkasaserdote sa Panginoon upang kaniyang tuparin ang salita ng Panginoon, na kaniyang sinalita tungkol sa sangbahayan ni Eli, sa Silo.
28 Joab had not supported Absalom [when he tried to become the king], but he had supported Adonijah. So when Joab heard what had happened, he ran to the Sacred Tent, and he grasped the projections on the corners of the altar, [because he knew that no one would kill him there].
At ang mga balita ay dumating kay Joab: sapagka't si Joab ay umanib kay Adonia, bagaman hindi siya umanib kay Absalom. At si Joab ay tumakas na napatungo sa Tolda ng Panginoon, at pumigil sa mga anyong sungay ng dambana.
29 When someone told Solomon that Joab had run to the Sacred Tent and was standing alongside the altar, Solomon told Benaiah, “Go and execute Joab.”
At nasaysay sa haring Salomon, Si Joab ay tumakas na napatungo sa Tolda ng Panginoon, at, narito, siya'y nasa siping ng dambana. Nang magkagayo'y sinugo niya si Benaia na anak ni Joiada, na sinasabi, Ikaw ay yumaon, daluhungin mo siya.
30 So Benaiah went to the Sacred Tent and said to Joab, “The king commands you to come out!” But Joab replied, “No, I will die here.” So Benaiah went back to the king and reported [what he had said to Joab, and] what Joab had replied.
At si Benaia ay naparoon sa Tolda ng Panginoon, at nagsabi sa kaniya, Ganito ang sabi ng hari, Lumabas ka. At kaniyang sinabi, Hindi; kundi ako'y mamamatay rito, At dinala ni Benaia sa hari ang salita uli, na sinasabi, Ganito ang sinabi ni Joab, at ganito ang isinagot sa akin.
31 The king replied to him, “Do what he has requested. Kill him and bury his body. If you do that, my descendants [MTY] and I will no longer be punished for what Joab did when he killed [MTY] two men who (were innocent/had not done anything that is wrong).
At sinabi ng hari sa kaniya, Gawin kung paano ang sinabi niya, at daluhungin mo siya, at ilibing mo siya; upang iyong maalis ang dugo na ibinubo ni Joab ng walang kadahilanan sa akin at sa sangbahayan ng aking ama.
32 But Yahweh will punish [MTY] Joab for attacking and killing Abner, the commander of the army of Israel, and Amasa, the commander of the army of Judah, two men who were more righteous and better [DOU] men than he is. My father David did not even know that Joab [was planning to murder them].
At ibabalik ng Panginoon ang kaniyang dugo sa kaniyang sariling ulo, sapagka't siya'y dumaluhong sa dalawang lalake, na lalong matuwid, at maigi kay sa kaniya, at mga pinatay ng tabak, at hindi nalalaman ng aking amang si David, sa makatuwid baga'y si Abner na anak ni Ner, na puno ng hukbo ng Israel, at si Amasa na anak ni Jether, na puno ng hukbo ng Juda.
33 Joab and his descendants will be punished [IDM] forever for his murdering Abner and Amasa. But things will forever go well for David’s descendants [MTY] who rule [MTY] as King David did.”
Sa gayo'y ang kanilang dugo ay mababalik sa ulo ni Joab, at sa ulo ng kaniyang binhi magpakailan man: nguni't kay David, at sa kaniyang binhi, at sa kaniyang sangbahayan, sa kaniyang luklukan ay magkakaroon ng kapayapaan magpakailan man na mula sa Panginoon.
34 So Benaiah went [into the Sacred Tent] and killed Joab. Joab was buried on his property in the desert [part of Judah].
Nang magkagayo'y sinampa ni Benaia na anak ni Joiada, at dinaluhong siya, at pinatay siya; at siya'y inilibing sa kaniyang sariling bahay sa ilang.
35 Then the king appointed Benaiah to be the commander of the army instead of Joab, and he appointed Zadok to be the priest instead of Abiathar.
At inilagay ng hari si Benaia na anak ni Joiada na kahalili niya sa hukbo: at si Sadoc na saserdote ay inilagay ng hari na kahalili ni Abiathar.
36 Then the king sent [a messenger] to summon Shimei, and the king said to him, “Build a house for yourself here in Jerusalem. Remain there and do not leave the city to go anywhere.
At ang hari ay nagsugo at ipinatawag si Semei, at sinabi sa kaniya, Magtayo ka ng isang bahay sa Jerusalem, at tumahan ka roon, at huwag kang pumaroon saan man na mula roon.
37 Be sure that the day that you leave Jerusalem and go across the Kidron Brook, you will be executed, and it will be (your own fault/what you deserve).”
Sapagka't sa araw na ikaw ay lumabas, at tumawid sa batis ng Cedron, talastasin mong mainam, na ikaw ay walang pagsalang mamamatay: ang iyong dugo ay sasa iyong sariling ulo.
38 Shimei replied, “Your Majesty, what you say is good. I will do what you have said.” So Shimei remained in Jerusalem for several years.
At sinabi ni Semei sa hari, Ang sabi ay mabuti: kung paanong sinabi ng aking panginoong hari, gayon gagawin ng iyong lingkod. At si Semei ay tumahan sa Jerusalem na malaon.
39 But three years later, two of Shimei’s slaves ran away. They went to stay with Maacah’s son Achish, the king of Gath [city]. When someone told Shimei that they were in Gath,
At nangyari, sa katapusan ng tatlong taon, na dalawa sa mga alipin ni Semei ay tumanan na pumaroon kay Achis, na anak ni Maacha, hari sa Gath. At kanilang sinaysay kay Semei, na sinasabi, Narito, ang iyong mga alipin ay nasa Gath.
40 he put a saddle on his donkey and [got on it and] went to Gath. He found his slaves staying with King Achish and brought them back home.
At tumindig si Semei, at siniyahan ang kaniyang asno, at napasa Gath kay Achis, upang hanapin ang kaniyang mga alipin: at si Semei ay yumaon at dinala ang kaniyang mga alipin mula sa Gath.
41 But someone told King Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had returned.
At nasaysay kay Salomon na si Semei ay naparoon sa Gath mula sa Jerusalem, at bumalik uli.
42 So the king sent [a soldier] to summon Shimei and said to him, “I told you to solemnly promise, knowing that Yahweh [MTY] was listening, that you must not leave Jerusalem. I told you [RHQ], ‘Be sure that if you ever leave Jerusalem, you will be executed.’ And you replied [RHQ] to me, ‘What you have said is good; I will do what you have said.’
At ang hari ay nagsugo at ipinatawag si Semei, at nagsabi sa kaniya, Di ba ipinasumpa ko sa iyo ang Panginoon, at ipinatalastas kong totoo sa iyo, na aking sinasabi, Talastasin mong tunay na sa araw na ikaw ay lumabas, at yumaon saan man, ay walang pagsalang mamamatay ka? at iyong sinabi sa akin. Ang sabi na aking narinig ay mabuti.
43 So why did you not do what you solemnly promised to Yahweh? Why did you disobey what I commanded you?”
Bakit nga hindi mo iningatan ang sumpa sa Panginoon, at ang utos na aking ibinilin sa iyo?
44 The king also said to Shimei, “You know all the evil things that you did to my father David. So Yahweh will now punish you for the evil things that you did.
Sinabi pa ng hari kay Semei, Iyong talastas ang buong kasamaan na nalalaman ng iyong puso, na iyong ginawa kay David na aking ama: kaya't ibabalik ng Panginoon ang iyong kasamaan sa iyong sariling ulo.
45 But Yahweh will bless me, and he will enable David’s descendants [MTY] to rule forever.”
Nguni't ang haring si Salomon ay magiging mapalad, at ang luklukan ni David ay magiging matatag sa harap ng Panginoon magpakailan man.
46 Then the king gave an order to Benaiah, and he went and killed Shimei. So Solomon was completely in control of the kingdom.
Sa gayo'y inutusan ng hari si Benaia na anak ni Joiada; at siya'y lumabas, at dumaluhong sa kaniya, na anopa't siya'y namatay. At ang kaharian ay matatag sa kamay ni Salomon,
