1 Kings 22
1 For almost three years there was no war between Syria and Israel.
Lumipas ang tatlong taon na walang digmaan sa pagitan ng Aram at Israel.
2 Then King Jehoshaphat, who ruled Judah, went to [visit] King Ahab, who ruled Israel.
Pagkatapos nangyari ito sa ikatlong taon, si Jehoshafat hari ng Judah ay pumunta sa hari ng 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!”
Ngayon sinabi ng hari ng Israel sa kaniyang mga lingkod, “Alam ba ninyo na sa atin ang Ramot Galaad, pero wala tayong ginagawa para makuha ito mula sa kamay ng hari ng Aram?”
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.”
Kaya sinabi niya kay Jehoshafat, “Sasama ka ba sa akin sa pakikidigma sa Ramot Galaad?” Sumagot si Jehoshafat sa hari ng Israel, “Ako ay tulad mo, ang aking bayan ay tulad ng iyong bayan, at aking mga kabayo ay tulad ng iyong mga kabayo.
5 Then he added, “But we should ask Yahweh first, to find out what he wants us to do.”
Sinabi ni Jehoshafat sa hari ng Israel, “Pakiusap humingi ka ng gabay mula sa salita ni Yahweh kung ano ang dapat mong unang gawin.”
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.”
Pagkatapos pinagtipon-tipon ng hari ng Israel ang mga propeta, na apat na daang mga lalaki, at sinabi sa kanila, “Dapat ba akong pumunta sa Ramot Galaad para makipaglaban, o hindi dapat?” Sinabi nila, “Lumusob tayo, dahil ilalagay ito ng Panginoon sa kamay ng hari.”
7 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no prophet of Yahweh here whom we can ask?”
Pero sinabi ni Jehoshafat “Wala na bang iba pang propeta ni Yahweh kung saan maaaring tayo makakuha ng payo?”
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!”
Sinabi ng hari ng Israel kay Jehoshafat, “Mayroon pang isang tao na maaari tayong manghingi ng payo mula kay Yahweh para tulungan tayo, si Micaya anak ni Imla, pero ayoko sa kaniya dahil hindi siya nagpropesiya ng kahit anong magandang bagay tungkol sa akin, kundi mga kahirapan lamang.” Pero sinabi ni Jehoshafat, “Nawa'y hindi ito sabihin ng hari”
9 So the king of Israel told one of his officers to summon Micaiah immediately.
Pagkatapos ang hari ng Israel ay tumawag ng opisyal at nag-utos na “Ngayon din ay dalhin si Micaya 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).
Ngayon si Ahab na hari ng Israel at si Jehoshafat na hari ng Juda ay nakaupo sa kanilang trono, nakasuot ng kanilang kasuotang pang hari, sa isang malawak na lugar sa tarangkahan ng Samaria, at lahat ng mga propeta ay nagsasabi ng hula sa kanilang harapan.
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!’”
Gumawa si Zedekias anak na lalaki ni Caanana ng mga sungay na bakal at sinabi, “Ito ang sinasabi ni Yahweh: 'Sa pamamagitan ng mga ito mapapaatras ninyo ang mga Arameo hanggang sila ay maubos.”
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 pareho ang ipinahayag ng lahat ng mga propeta na sinasabi, “Lusubin natin ang Ramot Galaad at mananalo, dahil ibinigay ito ni Yahweh 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).”
Ang mensahero na nagpunta para tawagin si Micaya ay sinabi sa kaniya, “Ngayon masdan mo, ang mga salita ng mga propeta ay naghahayag ng magagandang bagay sa hari sa iisang bibig. Hayaan ang iyong mga salita ay maging tulad ng isa sa kanila at magsabi ng magagandang bagay.”
14 But Micaiah replied, “As surely as Yahweh lives, I will tell him only what Yahweh tells me to say.”
Sumagot si Micaya, “Habang nabubuhay si Yahweh, ito ang sinasabi niya sa akin na aking sasabihin.”
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!”
Nang lumapit siya sa hari, sinabi sa kaniya ng hari, “Micaya, dapat ba kaming pumunta sa Ramot Galaad upang makipaglaban, o hindi?' Sumagot si Micaya, “Lumusob tayo at manalo. Ilalagay ito ni Yahweh 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]!”
Pagtapos sinabi sa kaniya ng hari, “Gaano karaming beses ko ba dapat ipag-utos sa iyo na katotohanan lamang ang sasabihin sa akin sa pangalan ni Yahweh?”
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.’”
Kaya sinabi ni Micaya, “Nakita ko ang lahat ng mga Israelita na nagkalat sa mga kabundukan, tulad ng mga tupa na walang pastol, at sinabi ito ni Yahweh, 'Walang pastol ang mga ito. Pabakilin ang bawat tao sa kanilang mga tahanan ng 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].”
Kaya sinabi ng hari ng Israel kay Jehoshafat, “Hindi ba't sinabi ko na sa iyo na hindi siya magsasabi ng magandang pahayag tungkol sa akin, puro kapahamakan lamang?”
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.
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Micaya, “Gayuman pakinggan ang salita ni Yahweh: Nakita ko si Yahweh na nakaupo sa kaniyang trono, at lahat ng hukbo sa langit ay nakatayo sa tabi niya sa kaniyang kanang kamay 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.
Sinabi ni Yahweh, 'Sino ang mag-uudyok kay Ahab, para siya ay maaaring lumusob at matalo sa Ramot-Galaad?' at may isang sumagot sa ganitong paraan, at sumagot ang isa pa sa ganoong paraan.
21 Finally one [evil] spirit came to Yahweh and said, ‘I can do it!’
Pagkatapos isang espiritu ang lumapit, tumayo sa harapan ni Yahweh, at sinabi, 'Ako ang mag-uudyok sa kaniya.' Sinabi sa kaniya ni Yahweh, 'Paano?'
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!’
Sumagot ang espiritu, 'Lalabas ako at magiging isang mapanlinlang na espiritu sa bibig ng lahat ng kaniyang mga propeta.' Sumagot si Yahweh, 'Uudyukan mo siya, at ikaw rin ay magtatagumpay. Pumunta ka na ngayon at gawin iyon.'
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 masdan mo, inilagay ni Yahweh ang mapanlinlang na espiritu sa lahat ng bibig nitong mga propeta mong ito, at si Yahweh ay naghanda ng pagkawasak para 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]
Pagkatapos si Zedekias anak na lalaki ni Cananaa, ay umakyat, sinampal si Micaya sa pisngi, at sinabi, “Aling daan ang tinahak ng Espiritu ni Yahweh para umalis 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]!”
Sumagot si Micaya, “Masdan ito, malalaman mo sa araw na iyon, kapag tumakbo ka papunta sa isang kaloob-loobang kwarto para magtago.”
26 King Ahab commanded [his soldiers], “Seize Micaiah and take him to Amon, the governor of this city, and to my son Joash.
Sinabi ng hari ng Israel sa kaniyang lingkod, “Hulihin si Micaya at dalhin siya kay Amon, ang gobernador sa lungsod, at kay Joas, aking anak na lalaki. Sabihin sa kaniya,
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!”
'Sinabi ng hari, ilagay ang lalaking ito sa bilangguan at pakainin ng kaunting tinapay at kaunting tubig, hanggang sa makarating akong ligtas.'”
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]!”
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Micaya. “Kung makakabalik ka ng ligtas, hindi nangusap sa akin si Yahweh,” at dinagdag pa niya, “Pakinggan niyo ito, lahat kayong mga tao.”
29 So the King of Israel and the King of Judah [led their armies] to Ramoth, in [the] Gilead [region].
Kaya si Ahab, ang hari ng Israel, at Jehoshafat, ang hari ng Juda, ay pumunta sa Ramot 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.
Sinabi ng hari ng Israel kay Jehoshafat, “Magbabalatkayo ako at pupunta sa isang labanan, pero isuot mo ang iyong pangharing kasuotan.” Kaya nagbalatkayo ang hari at nagpunta sa labanan.
31 The King of Syria told this to his thirty-two men who were driving the chariots: “Attack only the king of Israel!”
Ngayon inutusan ng hari ng Aram ang tatlumpu't dalawang mga kapitan ng mga karwaheng pandigma, na nagsasabi, “Huwag niyong lusubin ang hindi mahalaga o mahalagang mga kawal. Sa halip, ang hari ng Israel lamang ang lusubin ninyo.”
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,
Nang makita ng mga kapitan ng mga karwaheng pandigma si Jehoshafat sinabi nila, “Siguradong iyon ang hari ng Israel.” Lumiko sila at nilusob siya, kaya sumigaw si Jehoshafat.
33 they realized that he was not the king of Israel. So they stopped pursuing him.
Nang makita ng mga pinuno ng mga karwaheng pandigma na hindi iyon ang hari ng Israel, huminto sila sa pagtugis 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!”
Ngunit isang lalaki ang basta nalang nagpalipad ng kaniyang palaso at tinamaan ang hari ng Israel sa pagitan ng dugtungan ng kaniyang mga baluti. Pagkatapos sinabi ni Ahab sa nagpapatakbo ng kaniyang karwaheng pandigma, “Umikot at dalhin ako palabas sa labanang ito, dahil lubha akong sugatan.”
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.
Lalong sumidhi ang labanan nang araw na iyon, at ang hari ay nanatili sa kaniyang karwaheng pandigma laban sa mga Arameo. Namatay siya ng gabing iyon. dumaloy ang dugo sa kaniyang sugat hanggang sa ilalim ng kaniyang karwaheng pandigma.
36 Just as the sun was going down, someone among the Israeli troops shouted, “[The battle is ended!] Everyone should return home!”
Pagkatapos ng paglubog ng araw, isang sigaw ang narinig ng buong hukbo, na nagsasabing, “Bawat lalaki ay dapat bumalik sa kaniyang lungsod, at bawat lalaki ay bumalik na sa kaniyang rehiyon!”
37 So king Ahab died, and they took his body [in the chariot] to Samaria [city] and buried his body there.
Kaya si haring Ahab ay namatay at dinala sa Samaria, at inilibing nila siya 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.
Hinugasan nila ang karwaheng pandigma sa paliguan ng Samaria, at ang mga aso ay dinilaan ang kaniyang dugo (Ito ay kung saan naliligo ang mga babaeng bayaran), gaya ng inihayag na salita ni Yahweh.
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’.
Para sa ibang bagay na ukol kay Ahab, lahat ng kaniyang ginawa, ang bagay na garing na kaniyang itinayo, at lahat ng mga lungsod na kaniyang itinatag, hindi ba nakasulat ito sa Ang Aklat ng mga Kaganapan sa Buhay ng mga Hari ng Israel?
40 When Ahab died, his body was buried where his ancestors were buried. Then his son Ahaziah became king.
Kaya natulog si Ahab kasama ng kaniyang mga ninuno, at si Ahazias kaniyang anak ay naging hari kapalit 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.
Pagkatapos si Jehoshafat anak na lalaki ni Asa ay nagsimulang maghari sa Juda sa ikaapat na taon ni Ahab hari ng 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 Jehoshafat ay tatlumpu't limang taon nang magsimula siyang maghari, at namuno siya sa Jerusalem nang dalawampu't limang taon. Ayuba ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina, na anak na babae ni Silhi.
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.
Lumakad siya sa kaparaanan ni Asa, kaniyang ama; hindi niya sila tinalikuran; ginawa niya kung ano ang tama sa paningin ni Yahweh. Gayunman, ang mga dambana ay hindi parin inalis. Patuloy na nag-aalay at nagsusunog ng mga insenso ang mga tao sa mga dambana.
44 Jehoshaphat also made [a] peace [agreement] with the king of Israel.
Nakipagkasundo si Jehoshafat 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’.
Para sa ibang bagay na ukol kay Jehoshafat, at ang kalakasan na kaniyang ipinakita, at kung paano niya pinagtagumpayan ang digmaan, hindi ba ang mga ito ay nasusulat sa Aklat ng mga Kaganapan sa Buhay ng mga Hari ng 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.
Inalis niya mula sa lupain ang mga natirang mga lalaki at babaeng bayaran sa sagradong lugar na nanatili sa mga araw ng kaniya Amang si Asa.
47 At that time, there was no king in Edom; a ruler who had been appointed by Jehoshaphat ruled there.
Walang hari sa Edom, pero isang pumapangalawa ang namuno doon.
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.
Gumawa ng pangkaragatang barko si Jehoshafat; Pupunta sila sa Ofir para sa ginto, pero hindi sila natuloy dahil ang mga barko ay nawasak 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.
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Ahazias anak na lalaki ni Ahab kay Jehoshafat, “Hayaan ang aking mga lingkod na maglayag kasama ng iyong mga lingkod sa mga barko.” Pero hindi ito pinayagan ni Jehoshafat.
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.
Natulog si Jehoshafat kasama ng kaniyang mga ninuno at inilibing kasama nila sa lungsod ni David, na kaniyang ninuno; si Jehoram ang kaniyang anak na lalaki ang naging hari kapalit 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.
Nagsimulang maghari si Ahazias sa Israel sa Samaria nang ika-labing pitong taon ni Jehoshafat hari ng Juda, at naghari siya ng 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].
Ginawa niya kung ano ang masama sa paningin ni Yahweh at lumakad sa kaparaanan ng kaniyang ama, sa paraan ng kaniyang ina, at sa paraan ng anak na lalaki ni Jeroboam na anak na lalaki ni Nebat, na nagdala sa Israel para magkasala.
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.
Pinaglingkuran niya at sinamba si Baal at kaniyang ginalit si Yahweh, na Diyos ng Israel, ginalit, gaya ng ginawa ng kaniyang ama.
