< 1 Kings 21 >
1 King Ahab had a palace in Jezreel [city]. Near the palace was a vineyard owned by a man from that city whose name was Naboth.
At nangyari, pagkatapos ng mga bagay na ito, na si Naboth na Jezreelita ay mayroong isang ubasan na nasa Jezreel, na malapit sa bahay ni Achab na hari ng Samaria.
2 One day, Ahab [went to] Naboth and said to him, “Your vineyard is close to my palace. I would like to buy it, so that I can plant some vegetables there. In exchange, I will give you a better vineyard [somewhere else], or if you prefer, I will pay you for your vineyard.”
At sinalita ni Achab kay Naboth, na sinabi, Ibigay mo sa akin ang iyong ubasan, upang aking tangkilikin na pinaka halamanang pananim, sapagka't malapit sa aking bahay; at aking ipapalit sa iyo na kahalili niyaon ang isang mainam na ubasan kay sa roon; o kung inaakala mong mabuti, aking ibibigay sa iyo ang halaga niyaon na salapi.
3 But Naboth replied, “That land belonged to my ancestors, [so I want to keep it]. I hope that Yahweh will never allow me to give that land to you!”
At sinabi ni Naboth kay Achab, Huwag itulot ng Panginoon sa akin, na aking ibigay ang mana sa aking mga magulang sa iyo.
4 So Ahab became very sullen and angry because of what Naboth had said. He went home and lay down on his bed. He turned his face toward the wall, and he refused to eat anything.
At pumasok si Achab sa kaniyang bahay na yamot at lunos dahil sa salita na sinalita ni Naboth na Jezreelita sa kaniya: sapagka't kaniyang sinabi, Hindi ko ibibigay sa iyo ang mana sa aking mga magulang. At siya'y nahiga sa kaniyang higaan, at ipinihit ang kaniyang mukha, at ayaw kumain ng tinapay.
5 His wife Jezebel came in and asked him, “Why are you so depressed? Why are you refusing to eat anything?”
Nguni't si Jezabel na kaniyang asawa ay naparoon sa kaniya, at nagsabi sa kaniya, Bakit ang iyong diwa ay totoong malungkot na hindi ka kumakain ng tinapay?
6 Ahab replied, “I talked to Naboth, that man from Jezreel. I told him that [I wanted] his vineyard. [I said, ] ‘I will buy it from you, or I will give you another vineyard for it.’ But he refused [to let me have it].”
At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Sapagka't nagsalita ako kay Naboth na Jezreelita, at nagsabi sa kaniya, Ibigay mo sa akin ang iyong ubasan sa kahalagahang salapi; o kung dili, kung iyong minamabuti, papalitan ko sa iyo ng ibang ubasan: at siya'y sumagot, Hindi ko ibibigay sa iyo ang aking ubasan.
7 His wife replied, “You are [RHQ] the king of Israel, [so you can get whatever you want] Get up, and eat some food and do not worry [about what Naboth said]. I will get Naboth’s vineyard for you.”
At sinabi ni Jezabel na kaniyang asawa sa kaniya, Ikaw ba ngayon ang namamahala sa kaharian ng Israel? ikaw ay bumangon, at kumain ng tinapay, at pasayahin mo ang iyong puso: aking ibibigay sa iyo ang ubasan ni Naboth na Jezreelita.
8 Then Jezebel wrote some letters, and she signed Ahab’s name on them. She used his official seal to seal them. Then she sent them to the older leaders and other important men who lived in Naboth’s town.
Sa gayo'y sumulat siya ng mga sulat sa pangalan ni Achab, at pinagtatakan ng kaniyang tatak; at ipinadala ang mga sulat sa mga matanda at sa mga maginoo na nangasa kaniyang bayan, at nagsisitahang kasama ni Naboth.
9 This is what she wrote in the letters: “Proclaim a day when all the people will [gather together and] (fast/abstain from eating food). Give to Naboth an important place to sit among them.
At kaniyang isinulat sa mga sulat, na sinasabi, Mangagtanyag kayo ng isang ayuno at ilagay ninyo si Naboth sa pangulo na kasamahan ng bayan:
10 Then find two men who always cause trouble. Give them places to sit opposite/facing him. Tell these men to testify that they heard Naboth say things that criticized God and the king. Then take Naboth out of the city and kill him by throwing stones at him.”
At lumagay ang dalawang lalake na mga hamak na tao sa harap niya, at mangagsisaksi laban sa kaniya, na magsipagsabi, Ikaw ay namusong sa Dios at sa hari. At ilabas nga siya, at batuhin siya upang siya'y mamatay.
11 The leaders [received the letters and] did what Jezebel had written in the letters for them to do.
At ginawa ng mga tao sa kaniyang bayan, sa makatuwid baga'y ng mga matanda at ng mga maginoo na nagsisitahan sa kaniyang bayan, kung ano ang ipinagutos ni Jezabel sa kanila, ayon sa nangasusulat sa mga sulat na kaniyang ipinadala sa kanila.
12 They declared a day on which the people would all (fast/abstain from food). And they gave Naboth a seat in a place where honored people sat, in front of the people.
Sila'y nangagtanyag ng isang ayuno, at inilagay si Naboth sa pangulo na kasamahan ng bayan.
13 Two men who always caused trouble sat opposite/facing Naboth. While everyone was listening, they stated that they had heard Naboth say things that criticized God and the king. So the people seized Naboth. They took him outside the city and killed him [by throwing] stones at him.
At ang dalawang lalake na mga hamak na tao ay nagsipasok at nagsiupo sa harap niya: at ang mga lalake na hamak ay nagsisaksi laban sa kaniya, sa makatuwid baga'y laban kay Naboth sa harap ng bayan, na nagsisipagsabi, Si Naboth ay namusong sa Dios at sa hari. Nang magkagayo'y inilabas nila sa bayan, at binato nila siya ng mga bato, na anopa't siya'y namatay.
14 Then those leaders sent a message to Jezebel, saying “We have executed Naboth.”
Nang magkagayo'y sila'y nagsipagsugo kay Jezabel, na nagsisipagsabi, Si Naboth ay pinagbatuhanan, at patay.
15 When Jezebel found out that Naboth had been killed, she told Ahab, “Naboth is dead. Now you can go and take possession of the vineyard that he refused to sell to you.”
At nangyari, nang mabalitaan ni Jezabel na si Naboth ay pinagbatuhanan, at patay, na sinabi ni Jezabel kay Achab, Ikaw ay bumangon, ariin mo ang ubasan ni Naboth, na Jezreelita na kaniyang ipinagkait na ibigay sa iyo sa halaga ng salapi: sapagka't si Naboth ay hindi buhay, kundi patay.
16 When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, he got up and went to the vineyard to claim that he now owned it.
At nangyari, nang mabalitaan ni Achab na patay si Naboth, na bumangon si Achab na bumaba sa ubasan ni Naboth na Jezreelita, upang ariin.
17 Then Yahweh spoke to Elijah the prophet. He said,
At ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating kay Elias na Thisbita, na nagsabi,
18 “Go to Samaria and talk to Ahab, the king of Israel. He is in the vineyard of a man named Naboth. He has gone there to claim that he now owns it.
Bumangon ka, panaugin mong salubungin si Achab na hari ng Israel, na tumatahan sa Samaria: narito, siya'y nasa ubasan ni Naboth na kaniyang pinapanaog upang ariin.
19 Tell Ahab that this is what I, Yahweh, say to him: ‘You have murdered Naboth and taken his land.’ So I am telling you this: ‘In the same place where [Naboth died and] dogs came and licked up Naboth’s blood, [you will die and] the dogs will lick up your blood, too!’”
At iyong sasalitain sa kaniya, na sasabihin, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Iyo bang pinatay at iyo rin namang inari? at iyong sasalitain sa kaniya, na sasabihin, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Sa dakong pinaghimuran ng mga aso ng dugo ni Naboth ay hihimuran ng mga aso ang iyong dugo, sa makatuwid baga'y ang iyong dugo.
20 So when Elijah met with Ahab, Ahab said to him, “You, my enemy, have found me!” [RHQ] Elijah answered, “Yes, I have found you. You have never stopped doing the things that Yahweh says are wrong.
At sinabi ni Achab kay Elias, Nasumpungan mo ba ako, Oh aking kaaway? At sumagot siya, Nasumpungan kita: sapagka't ikaw ay napabili upang gumawa ng kasamaan sa paningin ng Panginoon.
21 So this is what Yahweh says to you: ‘I will soon get rid of you. I will kill you, and I will also kill every male in your household, including those who are slaves and those who are not slaves.
Narito, aking dadalhan ng kasamaan ka, at aking lubos na papalisin ka, at aking ihihiwalay kay Achab ang bawa't anak na lalake, at ang nakukulong at ang naiwan sa kaluwangan sa Israel.
22 Your family will all be killed, just like the family of King Jeroboam and like the family of King Baasha were killed. I will get rid of you because you have caused me to become very angry, and you have also led the Israeli people to sin.’
At aking gagawin ang iyong sangbahayan na gaya ng sangbahayan ni Jeroboam na anak ni Nabat, at gaya ng sangbahayan ni Baasa na anak ni Ahia, dahil sa pamumungkahi na iyong iminungkahi sa akin sa galit, at iyong pinapagkasala ang Israel.
23 Yahweh has also told me that [your wife] Jezebel [will be killed, and] dogs in Jezreel will eat her corpse.
At tungkol kay Jezabel ay nagsalita naman ang Panginoon, na nagsabi, Lalapain ng mga aso si Jezabel sa tabi ng kuta ng Jezreel.
24 The [dead bodies of the] members of your family who die in this city [will not be buried, they] will be eaten by dogs, and [the corpses of] those who die in the fields will be eaten by vultures.”
Ang mamatay kay Achab sa bayan ay lalapain ng mga aso; at ang mamatay sa parang ay tutukain ng mga ibon sa himpapawid.
25 There was no man no man like Ahab who always did things that Yahweh considered to be evil. His wife Jezebel incited/urged him to do [many of] those things.
(Nguni't walang gaya ni Achab na nagbili ng kaniyang sarili upang gumawa ng kasamaan sa paningin ng Panginoon, na hinikayat ni Jezabel na kaniyang asawa.
26 The most abominable/detestable thing that Ahab did was to worship idols, just like the Amor people-group had done. And that is why Yahweh took the Amor people’s land from them and gave it to the Israelis.
At siya'y gumawa ng totoong karumaldumal sa pagsunod sa mga diosdiosan, ayon sa lahat na ginawa ng mga Amorrheo, na pinalayas ng Panginoon sa harap ng mga anak ni Israel.)
27 After Elijah finished talking to Ahab, Ahab tore his clothes [to show that he was sorry for all the sins that he had committed]. He put on rough clothes that were made from sacks, and he refused to eat anything. He even wore those rough clothes made from sacks when he slept, to show that he was sorry.
At nangyari, nang marinig ni Achab ang mga salitang yaon, na kaniyang hinapak ang kaniyang mga damit, at nagsuot ng kayong magaspang sa kaniyang katawan, at nagayuno, at nahiga sa kayong magaspang, at lumakad ng marahan.
28 Then Yahweh said this to Elijah:
At ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating kay Elias na Thisbita, na sinabi,
29 “I have seen [RHQ] that Ahab is now very sorry for all the evil things that he has done. So the things that I promised to do to his [family] will not happen while he is still alive. I will cause them to happen after his son becomes king. Then those things will happen to his family.” [MTY]
Nakita mo ba kung paanong si Achab ay nagpakababa sa harap ko? sapagka't siya'y nagpakababa sa harap ko, hindi ko dadalhin ang kasamaan sa kaniyang mga kaarawan: kundi sa mga kaarawan ng kaniyang anak dadalhin ko ang kasamaan sa kaniyang sangbahayan.
