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.
Dumating ang araw na si Nabot ang taga-Jezreel ay nagkaroon ng ubasan sa Jezreel, malapit sa palasyo ni Ahab, 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.”
Nakipag-usap si Ahab kay Nabot, sinasabing, “Ibigay mo sa akin ang iyong ubasan, para magkaroon ako ng hardin para sa gulay, dahil malapit ito sa aking bahay. Bilang kapalit, bibigyan kita ng mas magandang ubasan, o, kung gusto mo, babayaran ko ang halaga nito sa pera.”
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!”
Sumagot si Nabot kay Ahab, “Nawa'y ipagbawal ni Yahweh na dapat kong ibigay sa iyo ang lupain na ipinamana ng aking mga ninuno.”
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.
Kaya umuwi si Ahab sa kaniyang palasyo nagdadamdam at galit dahil sa sagot na ibinigay sa kaniya ni Nabot na taga-Jezreel, “Hindi ko ibibigay sa iyo ang ipinamana ng aking mga ninuno.” Humiga siya sa kaniyang higaan, ibinaling ang kaniyang mukha, at tumangging kumain ng kahit anong pagkain.
5 His wife Jezebel came in and asked him, “Why are you so depressed? Why are you refusing to eat anything?”
Pinuntahan siya ng kaniyang asawang si Jezebel at sinabi sa kaniya, “Bakit napaka lungkot ng iyong puso, kaya ba hindi ka kumain ng pagkain?”
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].”
Sumagot siya sa kaniya, “Nakipag-usap ako kay Nabot na taga-Jezreel at sinabi ko sa kaniya, 'Ibigay mo sa akin ang iyong ubasan kapalit ng pera, o kung ikalulugod mo, bibigyan kita ng ibang ubasan na magiging iyo.' At sumagot siya, '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.”
Kaya sumagot ang kaniyang asawang si Jezebel, “Hindi ba't pinamumunuan mo pa rin ang kaharian ng Israel? Bumangon ka at kumain; hayaan mo ang iyong puso na magsaya. Kukunin ko ang ubasan ni Nabot na taga-Jezreel para sa iyo.”
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.
Kaya sumulat si Jezebel ng mga liham sa pangalan ni Ahab, sinelyuhan ito ng kaniyang mga selyo, at pinadala ito sa mga nakatatanda at sa mayayaman na nakaupo na kasama niya sa mga pagpupulong, at sa naninirahan malapit kay Nabot.
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.
Kaniyang isinulat sa liham, “Maghayag ng isang pag-aayuno at iupo si Nabot ng mataas sa mga tao.
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.”
Maglagay ng dalawang lalaking hindi tapat kasama niya at hayaan silang tumestigo laban sa kaniya, na magsasabing, 'Sinumpa mo ang Diyos at ang hari.'” At ilabas ninyo siya at pagbabatuhin hanggang mamatay.
11 The leaders [received the letters and] did what Jezebel had written in the letters for them to do.
Kaya ang mga tao sa kaniyang lungsod, ang mga nakatatanda at ang mayayaman na naninirahan sa kaniyang lungsod, ay ginawa ang inilarawan ni Jezebel sa kanila, gaya ng nasusulat sa mga liham na kaniyang pinadala 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.
Naghayag sila ng isang pag-aayuno at inupo si Nabot ng mataas sa mga tao.
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.
Dumating ang dalawang lalaki at umupo sa harapan ni Nabot; tumestigo sila laban kay Nabot sa presensya ng mga tao, na nagsasabing, “Isinumpa ni Nabot ang Diyos at ang hari.” Pagkatapos siya ay nilabas nila sa lungsod at pinagbabato hangggang siya ay mamatay.
14 Then those leaders sent a message to Jezebel, saying “We have executed Naboth.”
Pagkatapos ang mga nakatatanda ay nagpadala ng ulat kay Jezebel na nagsasabing, “Pinagbabato si Nabot at ngayon ay patay na.
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 nang marinig ni Jezebel na si Nabot ay pinagbabato at patay na, sinabi niya kay Ahab, “Bumangon ka at kunin ang ubasan ni Nabot na taga-Jezreel, na kaniyang tinangging ibigay sa iyo kapalit ng pera, dahil si Nabot ay hindi na buhay, pero patay na.”
16 When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, he got up and went to the vineyard to claim that he now owned it.
Nang marinig ni Ahab na patay na si Nabot, bumangon siya at bumaba sa ubasan ni Nabot na taga-Jezreel at kinuha ito.
17 Then Yahweh spoke to Elijah the prophet. He said,
Pagkatapos ang salita ni Yahweh ay dumating kay Elias na taga-Tisbe, na nagsasabing,
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 at makipagkita kay Ahab na hari ng Israel, na naninirahan sa Samaria. Siya ay nasa ubasan ni Nabot, kung saan siya nagpunta para kunin ito.
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!’”
Dapat kang makipag-usap sa kaniya at sabihin na sinasabi ni Yahweh, 'Pumatay ka ba at nagkamkam ng ari-arian?' At sasabihin mo sa kaniya na sinasabi ni Yahweh, 'Sa lugar kung saan dinilaan ng mga aso ang dugo ni Nabot, didilaaan ng mga aso ang iyong dugo, oo, 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.
Sinabi ni Ahab kay Elias, “Natagpuan mo ba ako, aking kaaway?” Sumagot si Elias, “Natagpuan kita, dahil ipinagbili mo ang iyong sarili para gumawa ng kung ano ang masama sa paningin ni Yahweh.
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.
Sinasabi ito sa iyo ni Yahweh: 'Masdan mo, magdadala ako sa iyo ng sakuna at lubos na uubusin at kukunin mula sa iyo ang bawat batang lalaki at alipin at malayang lalaki 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.’
Ang pamilya mo ay gagawin kong tulad sa pamilya ni Jeroboam anak ni Nebat, at tulad ng pamilya ni Baasa anak ni Ahias, dahil ginalit mo ako at inakay ang Israel na magkasala.'
23 Yahweh has also told me that [your wife] Jezebel [will be killed, and] dogs in Jezreel will eat her corpse.
Nagsalita rin si Yahweh ukol kay Jezebel, na nagsasabing, 'Kakainin ng mga aso si Jezebel sa pader 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.”
Sinumang nabibilang kay Ahab at ang mamamatay sa lungsod—kakainin ng aso ang taong iyon. At sinumang mamamatay sa bukid—kakainin ang taong iyon 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.
Walang katulad si Ahab, na ibinenta ang kaniyang sarili para gumawa ng kasamaan sa paningin ni Yahweh, na kaniyang asawa na si Jezebel ay inudyukan na magkasala.
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.
Gumawa si Ahab ng nakasusuklam na mga gawain para sa mga diyus-diyosang kaniyang sinundan, tulad nalang ng ginawa ng mga taga-Amoreo, silang mga inalis ni Yahweh sa harapan ng bayan ng 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.
Nang marinig ni Ahab ang mga salitang ito, pinunit niya ang kaniyang kasuotan at nagsuot ng damit na sako sa kaniyang katawan at nag-ayuno, at nahiga na nakadamit ng sako at naging labis na malungkot.
28 Then Yahweh said this to Elijah:
Pagkatapos ang salita ni Yahweh ay dumating kay Elias na taga-Tisbe, na nagsasabing,
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 paano ibinaba ni Ahab ang kaniya sarili sa aking harapan? Dahil ibinaba niya ang kaniyang sarili sa aking harapan, hindi ko na dadalhin ang darating na sakuna sa kaniyang panahon; dadalhin ko ang sakunang ito sa panahon ng kaniyang anak na lalaki at sa kaniyang pamilya.”
