1 Kings 22
1 For almost three years there was no war between Syria and Israel.
At sila'y nagpatuloy na tatlong taon na walang pagdidigma ang Siria at ang Israel.
2 Then King Jehoshaphat, who ruled Judah, went to [visit] King Ahab, who ruled Israel.
At nangyari, nang ikatlong taon, na binaba ni Josaphat na hari sa Juda ang hari sa Israel.
3 [While they were talking, ] Ahab said to his officials, “Do you realize that the Syrians are still occupying our city of Ramoth in [the] Gilead [region]? And we are doing nothing to retake that city!”
At sinabi ng hari sa Israel sa kaniyang mga lingkod, Di ba talastas ninyo na ang Ramoth-galaad ay atin, at tayo'y tatahimik, at hindi natin aagawin sa kamay ng hari sa Siria?
4 Then he turned to Jehoshaphat and asked, “Will your [army] join my [army] to fight against the people of Ramoth [and retake that city]?” Jehoshaphat replied, “[Certainly] I [will do whatever] you [want], and you may command my troops. You may take my horses into battle, also.”
At sinabi niya kay Josaphat, Sasama ka ba sa akin sa pagbabaka sa Ramoth-galaad? At sinabi ni Josaphat sa hari sa Israel, Ako'y gaya mo, ang aking bayan ay gaya ng iyong bayan, ang aking mga kabayo ay gaya ng iyong mga kabayo.
5 Then he added, “But we should ask Yahweh first, to find out what he wants us to do.”
At sinabi ni Josaphat sa hari sa Israel, Sumangguni ka, isinasamo ko sa iyo, sa salita ng Panginoon ngayon.
6 So Ahab summoned about 400 of his prophets together, and he asked them, “Should my [army] go to fight the people in Ramoth and retake that city, or not?” They answered, “Yes, go [and attack them], because God will enable your [army] to defeat them.”
Nang magkagayo'y pinisan ng hari sa Israel ang mga propeta na may apat na raang lalake, at nagsabi sa kanila, Yayaon ba akong laban sa Ramoth-galaad upang bumaka, o uurong ako? At sinabi nila, Umahon ka: sapagka't ibibigay ng Panginoon sa kamay ng hari.
7 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no prophet of Yahweh here whom we can ask?”
Nguni't sinabi ni Josaphat, Wala ba ritong ibang propeta ng Panginoon upang makapagusisa tayo sa kaniya?
8 The King of Israel replied, “There is one man we can talk to. We can ask him if he can find out what Yahweh wants. His name is Micaiah; he is the son of Imlah. But I hate him, because when he (prophesies/tells what God says to him) he never says [that] anything good [will happen] to me. He always predicts [that] bad things [will happen to me].” Jehoshaphat replied, “King Ahab, you should not say that!”
At sinabi ng hari sa Israel kay Josaphat, May isa pang lalake na mapaguusisaan natin sa Panginoon, si Micheas na anak ni Imla: nguni't kinapopootan ko siya; sapagka't hindi siya nanghuhula ng mabuti tungkol sa akin, kundi kasamaan. At sinabi ni Josaphat: Huwag sabihing gayon ng hari.
9 So the king of Israel told one of his officers to summon Micaiah immediately.
Nang magkagayo'y tumawag ang hari sa Israel ng isang punong kawal, at nagsabi, Dalhin mo ritong madali si Micheas na anak ni Imla.
10 The king of Israel and the king of Judah were wearing their (royal robes/robes that showed that they were kings). They were sitting on thrones at the place where people threshed grain, near the gate of Samaria [city]. All of Ahab’s prophets were standing in front of the kings, (prophesying/predicting what was going to happen).
Ang hari nga sa Israel at si Josaphat na hari sa Juda, ay nagsiupo kapuwa sa kanikaniyang luklukan, na nakapanamit hari sa isang hayag na dako sa pasukan ng pintuang-bayan ng Samaria; at ang lahat na propeta ay nagsipanghula sa harap nila.
11 One of them, whose name was Zedekiah, the son of Kenaanah, had made from iron [something that resembled] horns of a bull. Then he proclaimed [to Ahab], “This is what Yahweh says: ‘With horns like these your [army] will keep attacking the Syrians [like a bull attacks another animal] [MET], until you completely destroy them!’”
At si Sedechias na anak ni Chanaana ay gumawa ng mga sungay na bakal, at nagsabi, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Sa pamamagitan ng mga ito ay iyong itutulak ang mga taga Siria hanggang sa mangalipol.
12 All the [other] prophets [of Ahab] agreed. They said, “Yes! If you go up to attack Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region], you will be successful, because Yahweh will enable you to defeat them!”
At ang lahat na propeta ay nagsisipanghulang gayon, na nagsisipagsabi, Umahon ka sa Ramoth-galaad, at guminhawa ka: sapagka't ibibigay ng Panginoon sa kamay ng hari.
13 Meanwhile, the messenger who went to summon Micaiah said to him, “Listen to me! All the other prophets are predicting that the king’s army will defeat the Syrians. So be sure that you agree with them and say (what will be favorable/that the king’s army will be successful).”
At ang sugo na yumaong tumawag kay Micheas ay nagsalita sa kaniya, na nagsasabi, Narito ngayon, ang mga salita ng mga propeta ay mabuti sa hari na magkakaisa: isinasamo ko sa iyo na ang iyong bibig ay maging gaya ng isa sa kanila, at magsalita ka ng mabuti.
14 But Micaiah replied, “As surely as Yahweh lives, I will tell him only what Yahweh tells me to say.”
At sinabi ni Micheas, Buhay ang Panginoon kung ano ang sabihin ng Panginoon sa akin, yaon ang aking sasalitain.
15 When Micaiah came to Ahab, Ahab asked him, “Micaiah, should we go to fight against [the people of] Ramoth, or not?” Micaiah replied, “Sure, go! Yahweh will enable your army to defeat them!”
At nang siya'y dumating sa hari, sinabi ng hari sa kaniya, Micheas, paroroon ba kami sa Ramoth-galaad upang bumaka, o uurong kami? At kaniyang isinagot sa kaniya, Ikaw ay yumaon, at guminhawa; at ibibigay ng Panginoon yaon sa kamay ng hari.
16 But King Ahab [realized that Micaiah was (lying/being sarcastic), so he] said to Micaiah, “I have told you [RHQ] many times that you must always tell only the truth when you say what Yahweh [has revealed to you]!”
At sinabi ng hari sa kaniya, Makailang manunumpa ako sa iyo, na ikaw ay huwag magsalita ng anoman sa akin, kundi ng katotohanan sa pangalan ng Panginoon?
17 So Micaiah said to him, “[The truth is that] in a vision I saw all the troops of Israel scattered on the mountains. They seemed to be like sheep that did not have a shepherd. And Yahweh said, ‘Their master has been killed. So tell them all to go home peacefully.’”
At kaniyang sinabi, Aking nakita ang buong Israel na nangangalat sa mga bundok, na gaya ng mga tupa na walang pastor: at sinabi ng Panginoon, Ang mga ito ay walang panginoon; umuwi ang bawa't lalake sa kaniyang bahay na payapa.
18 Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “I told you [RHQ] that he never predicts [that] anything good [will happen to me]! He [always] predicts [that] bad things [will happen to me].”
At sinabi ng hari sa Israel kay Josaphat, Di ba isinaysay ko sa iyo na siya'y hindi manghuhula ng mabuti tungkol sa akin, kundi ng kasamaan?
19 But Micaiah continued, saying, “Listen to what Yahweh showed to me! [In a vision] I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, with all the armies of heaven surrounding him, on his right side and on his left side.
At sinabi ni Micheas, Kaya't iyong dinggin ang salita ng Panginoon: Aking nakita ang Panginoon na nakaupo sa kaniyang luklukan, at ang buong hukbo ng langit ay nakatayo sa siping niya sa kaniyang kanan at sa kaniyang kaliwa.
20 And Yahweh said, ‘Who can persuade Ahab to go to fight against the people of Ramoth, in order that he may be killed there?’ Some suggested one thing, and others suggested something else.
At sinabi ng Panginoon, Sinong dadaya kay Achab, upang siya'y umahon at mabuwal sa Ramoth-galaad? At ang isa'y nagsalita ng ganitong paraan; at ang iba'y nagsalita ng gayong paraan.
21 Finally one [evil] spirit came to Yahweh and said, ‘I can do it!’
At lumabas ang isang espiritu at tumayo sa harap ng Panginoon, at nagsabi, Aking dadayain siya.
22 Yahweh asked him, ‘How will you do it?’ The spirit replied, ‘I will go and inspire all of Ahab’s prophets to tell lies.’ Yahweh said, ‘You will be successful; go and do it!’
At sinabi ng Panginoon sa kaniya, Paano? At kaniyang sinabi, Ako'y lalabas, at magiging magdarayang espiritu sa bibig ng lahat niyang mga propeta. At kaniyang sinabi, Iyong dadayain siya, at mananaig ka rin: lumabas ka, at gawin mong gayon.
23 So now [I tell you that] Yahweh has caused all of your prophets to lie to you. Yahweh has decided that something terrible will happen to you.”
Ngayon nga, narito, inilagay ng Panginoon ang magdarayang espiritu sa bibig ng lahat ng iyong mga propetang ito: at ang Panginoon ay nagsalita ng kasamaan tungkol sa iyo.
24 Then Zedekiah walked over to Micaiah and slapped him on his face. He said, “Do you think that Yahweh’s Spirit left me in order to speak to you?” [RHQ]
Nang magkagayo'y lumapit si Sedechias na anak ni Chanaana, at sinampal si Micheas, at sinabi, Saan nagdaan ang Espiritu ng Panginoon na mula sa akin, upang magsalita sa iyo?
25 Micaiah replied, “You will find out for yourself [which of us Yahweh’s Spirit has truly spoken to] on the day when you go into a room of some house to hide [from the Syrian troops]!”
At sinabi ni Micheas, Narito, iyong makikita sa araw na yaon pagka ikaw ay papasok sa pinakaloob na silid upang magkubli.
26 King Ahab commanded [his soldiers], “Seize Micaiah and take him to Amon, the governor of this city, and to my son Joash.
At sinabi ng hari sa Israel, Kunin mo si Micheas, at ibalik mo kay Amon na tagapamahala ng bayan, at kay Joas na anak ng hari;
27 Tell them that I have commanded that they should put this man in prison and give him only bread and water. Do not give him anything else to eat until I return safely from the battle!”
At iyong sabihin, Ganito ang sabi ng hari, Ilagay ninyo ang taong ito sa bilangguan, at pakanin ninyo siya ng tinapay ng kadalamhatian at ng tubig ng kadalamhatian hanggang sa ako'y dumating na payapa.
28 Micaiah replied, “If you return safely, [it will be clear that] it was not Yahweh who told me what to say to you!” Then he said [to all those who were standing there], “Do not forget what I have said [to King Ahab]!”
At sinabi ni Micheas, Kung ikaw ay bumalik sa anomang paraan na payapa, ang Panginoon ay hindi nagsalita sa pamamagitan ko. At kaniyang sinabi, Dinggin ninyo, ninyong mga bayan, ninyong lahat.
29 So the King of Israel and the King of Judah [led their armies] to Ramoth, in [the] Gilead [region].
Sa gayo'y ang hari sa Israel, at si Josaphat na hari sa Juda ay nagsiahon sa Ramoth-galaad.
30 King Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “I will put on different clothes, [in order that no one will recognize that I am the king]. But you should wear your (royal robe/robe that shows that you are a king).” So Ahab disguised himself, and they both went into the battle.
At sinabi ng hari sa Israel kay Josaphat, Ako'y magpapakunwaring iba, at paroroon sa pagbabaka; nguni't ikaw ay magsuot ng iyong mga balabal-hari. At ang hari ng Israel ay nagpakunwaring iba, at naparoon sa pagbabaka.
31 The King of Syria told this to his thirty-two men who were driving the chariots: “Attack only the king of Israel!”
Ang hari nga ng Siria ay nagutos sa tatlong pu't dalawang punong kawal ng kaniyang mga karo, na nagsasabi, Huwag kayong magsilaban kahit sa maliit o sa malaki man, liban lamang sa hari sa Israel.
32 So when the men who were driving the Syrian chariots saw Jehoshaphat [wearing (his royal robes/clothes that showed he was the king)], they pursued him. They shouted, “There is the king of Israel!” But when Jehoshaphat cried out,
At nangyari, nang makita ng mga punong kawal ng mga karo si Josaphat na kanilang sinabi, Walang pagsalang hari sa Israel; at sila'y nagsibalik upang magsilaban sa kaniya: at si Josaphat ay humiyaw.
33 they realized that he was not the king of Israel. So they stopped pursuing him.
At nangyari, nang makita ng mga punong kawal ng mga karo na hindi siyang hari sa Israel, na sila'y humiwalay ng paghabol sa kaniya.
34 But one [Syrian] soldier shot an arrow at Ahab, without knowing that it was Ahab. The arrow struck Ahab between the places where the parts of his armor joined together. Ahab told the driver of his chariot, “Turn the chariot around and take me out of here! I have been severely wounded!”
At inihilagpos ng isang lalake ang kaniyang pana sa pagbabakasakali, at tinamaan ang hari sa Israel sa pagitan ng mga pagkakasugpong ng sakbat; kaya't kaniyang sinabi sa nagpapatakbo ng kaniyang karo, Ipihit mo ang iyong kamay, at ihiwalay mo ako sa hukbo; sapagka't ako'y nasugatan ng malubha.
35 The battle continued all the day. Ahab was sitting propped up in his chariot, facing the Syrian troops. The blood from his wound ran down to the floor of the chariot. And late in the afternoon he died.
At ang pagbabaka ay lumala nang araw na yaon; at ang hari ay natigil sa kaniyang karo sa harap ng mga taga Siria, at namatay sa kinahapunan: at ang dugo ay bumuluwak sa sugat sa pinakaloob ng karo.
36 Just as the sun was going down, someone among the Israeli troops shouted, “[The battle is ended!] Everyone should return home!”
At nagkaroon ng hiyawan sa buong hukbo sa may paglubog ng araw, na nagsasabi, Bawa't lalake ay sa kaniyang bayan, at bawa't lalake ay sa kaniyang lupain.
37 So king Ahab died, and they took his body [in the chariot] to Samaria [city] and buried his body there.
Sa gayo'y namatay ang hari at dinala sa Samaria; at kanilang inilibing ang hari sa Samaria.
38 They washed his chariot alongside the pool in Samaria, a pool where the prostitutes bathed. And dogs [came and] licked the king’s blood, just like Yahweh had predicted would happen.
At kanilang hinugasan ang karo sa tabi ng tangke ng Samaria; at hinimuran ng mga aso ang kaniyang dugo (ang mga masamang babae nga ay nagsipaligo roon; ) ayon sa salita ng Panginoon na kaniyang sinalita.
39 The account/record of the other things that happened while Ahab was ruling, and about the palace decorated with much ivory [that they built for him], and the cities that were built for him, was written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Ang iba nga sa mga gawa ni Achab, at ang lahat niyang ginawa, at ang bahay na garing na kaniyang itinayo, at ang lahat na bayan na kaniyang itinayo, di ba nasusulat sa aklat ng mga alaala sa mga hari sa Israel?
40 When Ahab died, his body was buried where his ancestors were buried. Then his son Ahaziah became king.
Sa gayo'y natulog si Achab na kasama ng kaniyang mga magulang; at si Ochozias na kaniyang anak ay naghari na kahalili niya.
41 Before King Ahab died, when he had been ruling in Israel for four years, Asa’s son Jehoshaphat started to rule in Judah.
At si Josaphat na anak ni Asa ay nagpasimulang maghari sa Juda, nang ikaapat na taon ni Achab na hari sa Israel.
42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he started to rule, and he ruled in Jerusalem for twenty-five years. His mother was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
Si Josaphat ay tatlong pu't limang taon nang magpasimulang maghari; at siya'y nagharing dalawang pu't limang taon sa Jerusalem. At ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina ay Azuba na anak ni Silai.
43 Jehoshaphat was a good king, just like his father Asa had been. He did things that pleased Yahweh. But while he was king, he did not remove all the pagan altars [that the people had built] on the hilltops. So the people continued to offer sacrifices [to idols] on those altars and burned incense there.
At siya'y lumakad ng buong lakad ni Asa na kaniyang ama; hindi siya lumiko sa paggawa ng matuwid sa mga mata ng Panginoon: gayon ma'y ang mga mataas na dako ay hindi inalis; ang bayan ay nagpatuloy na naghahain, at nagsusunog ng kamangyan sa mga mataas na dako.
44 Jehoshaphat also made [a] peace [agreement] with the king of Israel.
At si Josaphat ay nakipagpayapaan sa hari ng Israel.
45 All the other things that happened while Jehoshaphat was ruling, and the great things that he did and the victories his [troops] won, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Ang iba nga sa mga gawa ni Josaphat, at ang kaniyang kapangyarihan na kaniyang ipinakita, at kung paanong siya'y nakidigma, di ba nangasusulat sa aklat ng mga alaala sa mga hari sa Juda?
46 Jehoshaphat’s father Asa [had tried to expel] the male prostitutes that stayed at the pagan shrines, but some of them were still there. Jehoshaphat got rid of them.
At ang nangalabi sa mga sodomita na nangalabi sa mga kaarawan ng kaniyang ama na si Asa, ay pinaalis niya sa lupain.
47 At that time, there was no king in Edom; a ruler who had been appointed by Jehoshaphat ruled there.
At walang hari sa Edom: isang kinatawan ay hari.
48 Jehoshaphat [ordered some Israeli men to] build a fleet/group of ships to sail [south] to [the] Ophir [region] to get gold. But they were wrecked at Ezion-Geber/Elath, so the ships never sailed.
Si Josaphat ay gumawa ng mga sasakyang dagat sa Tharsis, upang pumaroon sa Ophir dahil sa ginto: nguni't hindi sila nagsiparoon; sapagka't ang mga sasakyan ay nangasira sa Ezion-geber.
49 Before the ships were wrecked, Ahab’s son Ahaziah suggested to Jehoshaphat, “Allow my sailors to go with your sailors,” but Jehoshaphat refused.
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Ochozias na anak ni Achab kay Josaphat, Magsiyaon ang aking mga lingkod na kasama ng iyong mga lingkod sa mga sasakyan. Nguni't tumanggi si Josaphat.
50 When Jehoshaphat died, his [body] was buried where his ancestors were buried in [Jerusalem, ] the city where King David [had ruled]. Then Jehoshaphat’s son Jehoram became king.
At si Josaphat ay natulog na kasama ng kaniyang mga magulang, at nalibing na kasama ng kaniyang mga magulang sa bayan ni David na kaniyang magulang: at si Joram na kaniyang anak ay naghari na kahalili niya.
51 Before King Jehoshaphat died, when he had been ruling in Judah for 17 years, Ahab’s son Ahaziah began to rule in Israel. Ahaziah ruled in Samaria for two years.
Si Ochozias na anak ni Achab ay nagpasimulang maghari sa Israel sa Samaria, nang ikalabing pitong taon ni Josaphat na hari sa Juda, at siya'y nagharing dalawang taon sa Israel.
52 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, doing the [evil] things that his father and mother had done and the evil things that Jeroboam had done—the king who had led all the Israeli people to sin [by worshiping idols].
At siya'y gumawa ng masama sa paningin ng Panginoon, at lumakad sa lakad ng kaniyang ama, at sa lakad ng kaniyang ina, at sa lakad ni Jeroboam na anak ni Nabat, na ipinagkasala niya sa Israel.
53 Ahaziah bowed in front of Baal’s idol and worshiped it. That caused Yahweh, the God who was the true God of the Israeli people, to become very angry, just as Ahaziah’s father had caused Yahweh to become angry.
At siya'y naglingkod kay Baal, at sumamba sa kaniya, at minungkahi sa galit ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng Israel, ayon sa lahat na ginawa ng kaniyang ama.
