2 Kings 6
1 One day a group of prophets said to Elisha, “Look, this place where we meet together with you is very small.
Miingon ang mga anak sa mga propeta kang Eliseo, “Ang dapit nga among gipuy-an uban kanimo gamay kaayo alang kanatong tanan.
2 Allow us to go to the Jordan [River and cut down some trees to make] logs to build a new meeting place.” So Elisha said, “Okay, go.”
Palihog moadto kita sa Jordan, ug tugoti nga moputol ug kahoy ang matag lalaki didto, ug magtukod kitag dapit nga atong kapuy-an.” Mitubag si Eliseo, “Makauna na kamo sa paglakaw.”
3 One of them said to Elisha, “Please come with us.” So Elisha replied, “Okay, I will go with you.”
Miingon ang usa kanila, “Palihog uban sa imong mga sulugoon.” Mitubag si Eliseo, “Mouban ako.”
4 So they went together. When they reached the Jordan [River], they cut down some trees.
Busa miuban siya kanila, sa dihang miabot sila sa Jordan, nagsugod silag pamutol ug mga kahoy.
5 But while one of them was cutting down a tree, suddenly the axe head [separated from the handle and] fell into the water. He cried out to Elisha, “O, Master, what shall I do? [The axe is not mine]; I borrowed it!”
Apan samtang nagaputol ang usa, nahulog ang ulo sa atsa ngadto sa tubig; misinggit siya ug miingon, “O dili, akong agalon, hinulaman kini!”
6 Elisha replied, “Where did it fall into the water?” After the man showed him the place, Elisha cut off a stick, and threw it into the water, and caused the iron axe head to float [on top of the water].
Busa miingon ang tawo sa Dios, “Asa man kini nahulog?” Gitudlo sa tawo ang dapit ngadto kang Eliseo. Unya miputol siya ug gamay nga sanga, gilabay kini sa tubig, ug gipalutaw ang puthaw.
7 Elisha said, “Take it out of the water.” So the man reached his hand down and picked up the axe head.
Miingon si Eliseo, “Punita kini.” Busa gikab-ot kini sa tawo ug gikuha.
8 Whenever the king of Syria [prepared to send his army to] fight against Israel, he first consulted his officers, and then told them where they should set up their tents.
Karon nakiggubat ang hari sa Aram batok sa Israel. Nagpakisayod siya sa iyang mga sulugoon, nga nag-ingon, “Ang akong kampo maanaa ug maanaa sa maong dapit.”
9 But each time, Elisha would send a message to warn the king of Israel, [telling him where the army of Syria was planning to attack them, ] saying, “Be sure that your army does not go near that place, because the army of Syria has set up their tents there.”
Busa nagpadala ang tawo sa Dios ngadto sa hari sa Israel, nga nag-ingon, “Pagbantay nga dili ka moagi niana nga dapit, kay molugsong didto ang mga Arameanhon.”
10 So the king of Israel would send [messengers] to warn [the people who lived in] that place, and the people would remain on guard. That happened several times.
Nagpadala ug mensahe ang hari sa Israel ngadto sa dapit diin mao ang gisulti sa tawo sa Dios nga gipasidaan kaniya. Labaw pa sa makausa o makaduha, nagbantay gayod siya, sa dihang miadto ang hari didto.
11 The king of Syria was very upset/disturbed/angry about that. So he summoned his army officers and said to them, “[Obviously] one of you is (betraying us/revealing our plans) to the king of Israel. Which one of you is doing it?”
Napungot ang hari sa Aram mahitungod niini nga mga pasidaan, ug gitawag niya ang iyang mga sulugoon ug miingon kanila, “Dili ba ninyo ako sultihan kung kinsa kanato dinhi ang dapig sa hari sa Israel?”
12 One of his officers answered, “Your Majesty, it is not one of us. Elisha the prophet [knows what we plan to do, and he] tells the king of Israel everything. He even knows what you say in your own bedroom!”
Busa miingon ang usa sa iyang mga sulugoon, “Wala, akong agalon, hari, kay si Eliseo nga propeta sa Israel maoy nagsulti sa hari sa Israel sa mga pulong nga imong gisulti sa imong lawak!”
13 The king of Syria replied, “Go and find out where he is, and I will send [some men there] to capture him.” Someone told him, “People say that he is in Dothan [town north of Samaria].”
Mitubag ang hari, “Lakaw ug tan-awa kung asa si Eliseo aron makapadala ako ug mga tawo ug dakpon siya.” Gisulti kini kaniya, “Tan-awa, anaa siya sa Dotan.”
14 So the king sent a large group of soldiers [to Dothan] with horses and chariots. They arrived at night and surrounded the town.
Busa mipadala ang hari ngadto sa Dotan ug mga kabayo, mga karwahe, ug dakong panon sa kasundalohan. Miabot sila panahon sa kagabhion ug gipalibotan ang siyudad.
15 Early the next morning, Elisha’s servant got up and went outside the house. He saw the soldiers of Syria with their horses and chariots surrounding the town. So he went inside [the house and reported it to Elisha] and exclaimed, “O, sir! What are we going to do?”
Sa dihang mibangon ug sayo ang sulugoon sa tawo sa Dios ug miadto sa gawas, tan-awa, ang dako nga panon sa kasundalohan uban sa mga kabayo ug mga karwahe nakapalibot sa siyudad. Miingon ang iyang sulugoon kaniya, “O, akong agalon! Unsa man ang atong buhaton?”
16 Elisha replied, “Do not be afraid! Those who will be helping us will be more than those who will be helping them!”
Mitubag si Eliseo, “Ayaw kahadlok, kay kadtong uban kanato labi pang daghan kaysa kauban nila.”
17 Then he prayed, “Yahweh, I request that you open my servant’s eyes in order that he can see [what is out there]!” So Yahweh enabled the servant to look out and see that surrounding the hill on which the town [was built] was a huge number of horses, and chariots made of fire!
Nag-ampo si Eliseo ug miingon, “Yahweh, naghangyo ako kanimo nga ablihan nimo ang iyang mga mata aron makakita siya.” Unya giablihan ni Yahweh ang mga mata sa sulugoon, ug nakakita siya. Tan-awa, napuno ang bukid ug mga kabayo ug mga karwahe nga kalayo palibot kang Eliseo!
18 When the army of Syria prepared to attack Elisha, he prayed again, saying, “Yahweh, cause all these soldiers to become blind!” Yahweh answered his prayer and caused them to be unable to see clearly.
Sa dihang milugsong ang mga Arameanhon ngadto kaniya, nag-ampo si Eliseo ngadto kang Yahweh ug miingon, “Himoang buta kining mga tawhana, naghangyo ako kanimo.” Busa gibutahan sila ni Yahweh, sumala sa gihangyo ni Eliseo.
19 Then Elisha went to them and said, “You are not on the right road; this is not the city that you are searching for. I will take you to the man whom you are searching for.” But he led them to Samaria, [the capital of Israel]!
Unya giingnan ni Eliseo ang mga Arameanhon, “Dili kini mao ang dalan, ni mao kini ang siyudad. Sunod kanako, ug dad-on ko kamo sa tawo nga inyong gipangita.” Unya gipangulohan niya sila ngadto sa Samaria.
20 As soon as they entered Samaria, Elisha prayed again, saying, “Yahweh, now enable these soldiers to see correctly again!” So Yahweh enabled them to see correctly, and they were surprised to see that they were inside Samaria [city].
Nahitabo kini nga sa dihang nakaabot sila didto sa Samaria, miingon si Eliseo, “Yahweh, ablihi ang mga mata niining mga tawhana aron makakita sila.” Giablihan ni Yahweh ang ilang mga mata ug nakakita na sila, ug tan-awa, anaa sila sa taliwala sa siyudad sa Samaria.
21 When the king of Israel saw them, he said to Elisha, “Sir, shall I [tell my soldiers to] kill them? Shall we kill all of them?”
Miingon ang hari sa Israel kang Eliseo, sa dihang nakita niya sila, “Amahan ko, pamatyon ko na ba sila? Pamatyon ko na ba sila?”
22 Elisha replied, “No, you must not kill them. If your army captured many of your enemies in a battle, you would certainly not [RHQ] kill them. Give these men something to eat and drink, and then allow them to return to their king.”
Mitubag si Eliseo, “Dili nimo sila patyon. Patyon ba nimo kadtong imong nabihag pinaagi sa imong espada ug pana? Pagbutang ug tinapay ug tubig sa ilang atubangan, aron makakaon sila ug makainom, ug makaadto sa ilang agalon.”
23 So the king of Israel did that. He told his servants to provide a big feast for them. And when they had eaten and drunk plenty, he sent them away. They returned to the king of Syria [and told him what had happened]. So for a while after that, soldiers from Syria stopped raiding/attacking towns in Israel.
Busa nag-andam ug daghang pagkaon ang hari alang kanila, ug sa dihang nakakaon na sila ug nakainom, gipalakaw na niya sila, ug mibalik sila sa ilang agalon. Kadto nga panon sa kasundalohan nga Arameanhon wala mibalik sa yuta sa Israel sa taas nga panahon.
24 But some time later, Ben-Hadad, the king of Syria, assembled his entire army, and they went to Samaria and surrounded the city [for a long time].
Pagkahuman niini gitigom ni Ben Hadad nga hari sa Aram ang tanan niyang kasundalohan ug misulong sa Samaria ug gipalibotan kini.
25 Because of that, after a while there was hardly any food left inside the city, with the result that eventually a donkey’s head, [which was usually worthless, ] cost eighty pieces of silver, and (one cup/0.3 liter) of dove’s dung cost five pieces of silver.
Busa adunay hilabihang kagutom sa Samaria. Tan-awa, gipalibotan nila kini hangtod nga ang ulo sa asno napalit ug 80 ka buok nga plata, ug ang ikaupat nga bahin sa litro sa iti sa salampati alang sa lima ka buok nga plata.
26 One day when the king of Israel was walking on top of the city wall, a woman cried out to him, “Your Majesty, help me!”
Samtang miagi ang hari sa Israel diha sa paril, misinggit ang babaye ngadto kaniya, nga nag-ingon, “Tabang, agalon ko, hari.”
27 He replied, “If Yahweh will not help you, I certainly cannot [RHQ] help you. I certainly [RHQ] do not have any wheat or wine!
Miingon siya, “Kung wala ka gitabangan ni Yahweh, unsaon man nako pagtabang kanimo? Aduna bay nagagikan sa giokanan o sa pug-anan ug ubas?”
28 What is your problem?” She replied, “Several days ago, that woman [over there] said to me, ‘[Because we have nothing left to eat, ] let’s kill your son today, in order that we can eat his flesh. Then tomorrow we can [kill] my son [and] eat his flesh.’
Mipadayon ang hari, “Unsa man ang nakasamok kanimo?” Mitubag siya, “Miingon kining babaye kanako, 'Ihatag kanako ang imong anak nga lalaki aron kaonon nato siya karong adlawa, ug atong kaonon ang akong anak nga lalaki ugma.'”
29 So we [killed my son and cut his body up and] boiled his flesh and ate it. The next day, I said to her, ‘Now give your son to me, in order that we can [kill him and cook his flesh and] eat it.’ But she has hidden her son!”
Busa gipabukalan namo ang akong anak nga lalaki ug gikaon siya, ug miingon ako kaniya sa sunod adlaw, “Ihatag ang imong anak aron kan-on nato siya, apan gitagoan na niya ang iyang anak nga lalaki.”
30 When the king heard what the woman said, he tore his robe [to show that he was very distressed]. The people who were standing close to the wall were able to see that the king was wearing rough cloth underneath his robe [because he was very distressed].
Busa sa dihang nadungog sa hari ang mga pulong sa babaye, gigisi niya ang iyang mga bisti (nagaagi siya karon sa paril), ug nagtan-aw kaniya ang mga tawo ug nakakita nga aduna siyay sako sa ilalom nga bahin, sapaw sa iyang panit.
31 The king exclaimed, “I wish/hope that God will strike me dead if I do not cut off the head of Elisha today, [because he is the one who has caused these terrible things to happen to us]!”
Unya miingon siya, “Hinaot nga buhaton sa Dios kanako, ug labaw pa usab, kung ang ulo ni Eliseo ang anak nga lalaki ni Shafat magpabilin kaniya karong adlawa.”
32 So the king sent an officer to get Elisha. Before the officer arrived, Elisha was sitting in his house with some Israeli elders who were talking with him. Elisha said to them, “That murderer, [the king of Israel, ] is sending someone here to kill me. Listen: When he arrives, shut the door and do not allow him to come in. And the king will be coming right behind that officer!”
Apan naglingkod si Eliseo didto sa sulod sa iyang balay, ug naglingkod uban kaniya ang mga kadagkoan. Nagpadala ug tawo ang hari gikan sa iyang atubangan, apan sa dihang miabot ang mensahero ngadto kang Eliseo, miingon siya ngadto sa mga kadagkoan, “Tan-awa kung giunsa pagpadala niining anak sa mamumuno aron sa pagkuha sa akong ulo? Tan-awa, sa dihang moabot ang mensahero, sirad-i ang pultahan, ug pugngi ang pultahan nga nasira batok kaniya. Dili ba ang tunob sa mga tiil sa iyang agalon anaa lamang sa iyang luyo?”
33 And while he was still speaking, the king and the officer arrived. The king said, “It is Yahweh who has caused us to have all this trouble/suffering. (Why should I wait any longer [RHQ] for him to do something [to help us]?/It is useless for me to wait any longer for him [to help us]!)”
Samtang nakigsulti pa siya kanila, tan-awa, milugsong ang mensahero ngadto kaniya. Miingon ang hari, “Tan-awa, kini nga kasamok naggikan kang Yahweh. Nganong kinahanglan paman ako maghulat ug dugay kang Yahweh?”
