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.
At sinabi ng mga anak ng mga propeta kay Eliseo, Narito ngayon, ang dakong aming kinatitirahan sa harap mo ay totoong gipit sa ganang amin.
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.”
Isinasamo namin sa iyo na kami ay paparoonin sa Jordan, at kumuha roon ang bawa't isa ng sikang, at gumawa kami para sa amin ng isang dako roon, na aming matatahanan. At siya'y sumagot, Magsiyaon kayo.
3 One of them said to Elisha, “Please come with us.” So Elisha replied, “Okay, I will go with you.”
At sinabi ng isa, Isinasamo ko sa iyo na ikaw ay matuwa, at yumaon na kasama ng iyong mga lingkod. At siya'y sumagot, Ako'y yayaon.
4 So they went together. When they reached the Jordan [River], they cut down some trees.
Sa gayo'y yumaon siyang kasama nila. At nang sila'y dumating sa Jordan, sila'y nagsiputol ng 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!”
Nguni't samantalang ang isa'y pumuputol ng isang sikang, ang talim ng palakol ay nalaglag sa tubig: at siya'y sumigaw, at nagsabi, Sa aba ko, panginoon ko! sapagka't hiram.
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].
At sinabi ng lalake ng Dios, Saan nalaglag? At itinuro niya sa kaniya ang dako. At siya'y pumutol ng isang patpat, at inihagis doon, at pinalutang ang bakal.
7 Elisha said, “Take it out of the water.” So the man reached his hand down and picked up the axe head.
At kaniyang sinabi, Kunin mo. Sa gayo'y kaniyang iniunat ang kaniyang kamay, at kinuha.
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.
Ang hari nga sa Siria ay nakipagdigma sa Israel; at siya'y kumuhang payo sa kaniyang mga lingkod, na nagsasabi, Sa gayo't gayong dako malalagay ang aking kampamento.
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.”
At ang lalake ng Dios ay nagsugo sa hari sa Israel, na nagsasabi, Magingat ka na huwag dumaan sa dakong yaon; sapagka't doo'y lumulusong ang mga taga Siria.
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.
At nagsugo ang hari sa Israel sa dakong isinaysay sa kaniya ng lalake ng Dios at ipinagpauna sa kaniya; at siya'y lumigtas doon, na hindi miminsan o mamakalawa.
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?”
At ang puso ng hari sa Siria ay nabagabag na mainam dahil sa bagay na ito; at kaniyang tinawag ang kaniyang mga lingkod, at sinabi sa kanila, Hindi ba ninyo ipakikilala sa akin kung sino sa atin ang 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!”
At sinabi ng isa sa kaniyang mga lingkod, Hindi panginoon ko, Oh hari: kundi si Eliseo, na propeta na nasa Israel, ay nagsaysay sa hari sa Israel ng mga salita na iyong sinalita sa iyong silid na tulugan.
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].”
At kaniyang sinabi, Ikaw ay yumaon at tingnan mo kung saan siya nandoon, upang ako'y makapagpasundo at dalhin siya. At nasaysay sa kaniya, na sinabi, Narito, siya'y nasa Dothan.
14 So the king sent a large group of soldiers [to Dothan] with horses and chariots. They arrived at night and surrounded the town.
Kaya't siya'y nagsugo roon ng mga kabayo at mga karo, at ng isang malaking hukbo: at sila'y naparoon sa gabi, at kinubkob ang bayan sa palibot.
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?”
At nang ang lingkod ng lalake ng Dios ay magbangong maaga, at maglabas, narito, isang hukbo na may mga kabayo at mga karo ay nakalibot sa bayan. At ang kaniyang lingkod ay nagsabi sa kaniya, Sa aba natin, panginoon ko! paano ang ating gagawin?
16 Elisha replied, “Do not be afraid! Those who will be helping us will be more than those who will be helping them!”
At siya'y sumagot, Huwag kang matakot: sapagka't ang sumasaatin ay higit kay sa sumasa kanila.
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!
At si Eliseo ay nanalangin, at nagsabi, Idinadalangin ko sa iyo, Panginoon, na idilat ang kaniyang mga mata, upang siya'y makakita. At idinilat ng Panginoon ang mga mata ng binata; at siya'y nakakita, at narito, ang bundok ay puno ng mga kabayo at ng mga karo ng apoy sa palibot ni 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.
At nang kanilang lusungin siya, ay nanalangin si Eliseo sa Panginoon, at nagsabi, Idinadalangin ko sa iyo, na bulagin mo ang bayang ito. At kaniyang binulag sila ayon sa salita 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]!
At sinabi ni Eliseo sa kanila, Hindi ito ang daan, o ang bayan man: sumunod kayo sa akin, at dadalhin ko kayo sa lalake na inyong hinahanap. At kaniyang pinatnubayan sila hanggang 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].
At nangyari, nang sila'y magsidating sa Samaria, na sinabi ni Eliseo, Panginoon, idilat mo ang mga mata ng mga lalaking ito, upang sila'y makakita. At idinilat ng Panginoon ang kanilang mga mata, at sila'y nangakakita; at, narito, sila'y nangasa gitna ng 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?”
At sinabi ng hari sa Israel kay Eliseo, nang makita niya sila, Ama ko, sasaktan ko ba sila? sasaktan ko 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.”
At siya'y sumagot. Huwag mong sasaktan sila; sasaktan mo ba ang iyong binihag ng iyong tabak at ng iyong busog? maghain ka ng tinapay at tubig sa harap nila, upang kanilang makain at mainom, at magsiparoon sa kanilang panginoon.
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.
At ipinaghanda niya ng malaking pagkain sila: at nang sila'y makakain at makainom, kaniyang pinayaon sila, at sila'y nagsiparoon sa kanilang panginoon. At ang pulutong ng Siria ay hindi na naparoon pa sa lupain ng Israel.
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].
At nangyari, pagkatapos nito, na pinisan ni Ben-adad na hari sa Siria, ang buo niyang hukbo, at umahon, at kinubkob ang Samaria.
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.
At nagkaroon ng malaking kagutom sa Samaria: at, narito, kanilang kinubkob, hanggang sa ang ulo ng isang asno ay naipagbili ng walong pung putol na pilak, at ang ikaapat na bahagi ng isang takal ng dumi ng kalapati ay ng limang putol na pilak.
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!”
At pagdaraan sa kuta ng hari sa Israel, humiyaw ang isang babae sa kaniya, na nagsasabi, Saklolo, panginoon ko, Oh 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!
At kaniyang sinabi, Kung hindi ka saklolohan ng Panginoon, sa ano kita sasaklolohan sa giikan ba, o sa ubasan.
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.’
At sinabi ng hari sa kaniya, Anong nangyayari sa iyo? At siya'y sumagot, Sinabi ng babaing ito sa akin, Ibigay mo ang iyong anak, upang makain natin siya ngayon, at kakanin natin ang anak ko bukas.
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!”
Sa gayo'y pinakuluan namin ang anak ko, at kinain namin siya: at sinabi ko sa kaniya sa sumunod na araw, Ibigay mo ang iyong anak, upang makain natin siya; at kaniyang ikinubli ang kaniyang anak.
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].
At nangyari, nang marinig ng hari ang mga salita ng babae, na kaniyang hinapak ang kaniyang suot (nagdadaan nga siya sa kuta; ) at ang bayan ay tumingin, at, narito, siya'y may magaspang na damit sa loob sa kaniyang katawan.
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]!”
Nang magkagayo'y kaniyang sinabi, Gawing gayon ng Dios sa akin, at lalo na, kung ang ulo ni Eliseo, na anak ni Saphat ay matira sa kaniya sa araw na ito.
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!”
Nguni't si Eliseo ay nakaupo sa kaniyang bahay, at ang mga matanda ay nagsiupo na kasama niya; at ang hari ay nagsugo ng isang lalake na mula sa harap niya: nguni't bago dumating ang sugo sa kinaroroonan niya, sinabi niya sa mga matanda, Hindi ba ninyo nakita kung paanong ang anak na ito ng isang mamamatay tao ay nagsugo sa akin na alisin ang aking ulo? masdan ninyo, pagdating ng sugo, sarhan ninyo ang pintuan, at itulak ninyo ang pinto laban sa kaniya: di ba ang ingay ng mga paa ng kaniyang panginoon sa likod niya?
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]!)”
At samantalang siya'y nakikipagusap sa kanila, narito, nilusong siya ng sugo: at kaniyang sinabi, Narito, ang kasamaang ito'y mula sa Panginoon; bakit pa ako maghihintay sa Panginoon?
