2 Kings 7
1 Elisha replied to the king, “Listen to what Yahweh says: ‘He says that by this time tomorrow, at the marketplace here in Samaria, you will be able to buy (ten pounds/five kg.) of fine wheat or (20 pounds/ten kg.) of barley for [only] one piece of silver.’”
At sinabi ni Eliseo, Dinggin ninyo ang salita ng Panginoon, ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon: Bukas sa may ganitong oras, ang isang takal ng mainam na harina ay maipagbibili ng isang siklo, at ang dalawang takal ng sebada ay ng dalawang siklo, sa pintuang-bayan ng Samaria.
2 The king’s officer said to Elijah, “That cannot happen! Even if Yahweh himself would open the windows of the sky [and send grain down to us], that certainly could not [RHQ] happen!” Elisha replied, “[Because you said that, ] you [SYN] will see it happen, but you will not be able to eat any of the food!”
Nang magkagayo'y ang punong kawal na pinangangapitan ng hari ay sumagot sa lalaki ng Dios, at nagsabi, Narito, kung ang Panginoo'y gagawa ng mga dungawan sa langit, mangyayari ba ito? At kaniyang sinabi, Narito, makikita mo yaon ng iyong mga mata, nguni't hindi ka kakain niyaon.
3 That day there were four men who had (leprosy/a dreaded skin disease) who were sitting outside the gate of Samaria [city. They said to each other, “(Why should we] wait here until we die?/[It is ridiculous for us to] wait here until we die.) [RHQ]
Mayroon ngang apat na may ketong sa pasukan ng pintuang-bayan: at sila'y nagsangusapan. Bakit nauupo tayo rito hanggang sa tayo'y mamatay?
4 If we go into the city, we will die there, because there is no food there. If we remain sitting here, we will die here. So let’s go to where the army of Syria has set up their tents. If they kill us, we will die. But if they allow us to remain alive, we will not die.”
Kung ating sabihin, Tayo'y magsisipasok sa bayan, ang kagutom nga'y nasa bayan, at tayo'y mamamatay roon: at kung tayo'y magsisitigil ng pagkaupo rito, tayo'y mamamatay rin. Ngayon nga'y halina, at tayo'y lumapit sa hukbo ng mga taga Siria: kung tayo'y iligtas nilang buhay, tayo'y mabubuhay; at kung tayo'y patayin nila, mamamatay lamang tayo.
5 So when it was getting dark, those four men went to the camp where the army of Syria had set up their tents. But when they reached the camp, they saw that there was no one there!
At sila'y nagsitindig pagtatakip silim, upang magsiparoon sa kampamento ng mga taga Siria: at nang sila'y magsidating sa pinakamalapit na bahagi ng kampamento ng mga taga Siria, narito, walang tao roon.
6 What had happened was that Yahweh had caused the army of Syria to hear something that sounded like a large army marching with chariots and horses. So they said to each other, “Listen! The king of Israel has hired the kings of Egypt and the Heth people-group [and their armies], and they have come to attack us!”
Sapagka't ipinarinig ng Panginoon sa hukbo ng mga taga Siria ang hugong ng mga karo, at ang huni ng mga kabayo, sa makatuwid baga'y ang hugong ng malaking hukbo: at sila'y nagsangusapan. Narito, inupahan ng hari ng Israel laban sa atin ang mga hari ng mga Hetheo, at ang mga hari ng mga taga Egipto, upang magsidaluhong sa atin.
7 So they all ran away that evening and left their tents and their horses and donkeys there, because [they were afraid that] they would be killed [if they stayed there].
Kaya't sila'y nagsitindig, at nagsitakas sa pagtatakip silim, at iniwan ang kanilang mga tolda, at ang kanilang mga kabayo, at ang kanilang mga asno, at ang buong kampamento, na gaya ng dati, at nagsitakas dahil sa kanilang buhay.
8 When those four lepers came to the edge of the area where the soldiers of Syria had set up their tents, they went into one tent, [and saw all the things that had been left there]. So they ate and drank what was there, and they took the silver and the gold and clothes. Then they went [outside the tent] and hid those things. Then they entered another tent, and took things from there, and then went outside and hid them, also.
At nang ang mga may ketong na ito'y magsidating sa pinakamalapit na bahagi ng kampamento, sila'y nagsipasok sa isang tolda, at nagsikain at nagsiinom, at nagsipagdala mula roon ng pilak, at ng ginto, at ng bihisan, at nagsiyaon at itinago; at sila'y bumalik, at pumasok sa ibang tolda, at nagdala rin mula roon, at nagsiyaon at itinago.
9 But then they said to each other, “We are not doing what is right. We have good news [to tell others] today. If we do not tell it to anyone now, and if we wait until morning to tell it, we will certainly be punished [by Yahweh]. So let’s go right now to the palace and tell it to the king’s officials!”
Nang magkagayo'y nagsangusapan sila. Hindi mabuti ang ginagawa natin: ang araw na ito ay araw ng mabubuting balita, at tayo'y tumatahimik: kung tayo'y magsipaghintay ng hanggang sa pagliliwayway sa kinaumagahan, parusa ang aabot sa atin: ngayon nga'y halina, tayo'y magsiyaon at ating saysayin sa sangbahayan ng hari.
10 So they went to the guards at the city gates and called out to them, “We went to where the army of Syria had set up their tents, but we did not see or hear anyone there. Their horses and donkeys were still tied up, but their tents were all deserted/abandoned!”
Sa gayo'y nagsiparoon sila, at nagsitawag sa tagatanod-pinto ng bayan: at kanilang isinaysay sa kanila, na sinasabi, Kami ay nagsiparoon sa kampamento ng mga taga Siria, at, narito, walang lalake roon ni tinig man ng lalake, kundi mga nakataling kabayo, at mga asnong nangakatali, at ang mga tolda na gaya ng dati.
11 The guards shouted the news, and some people [who heard it] went to the palace and reported it there.
At tinawag niya ang mga tagatanod-pinto; at kanilang sinaysay sa sangbahayan ng hari sa loob.
12 [When] the king [heard it, he] got up out of his bed and said to his officials, “I will tell you what the army of Syria is planning to do. They know that we have no food here, so they have left their tents and are hiding in the fields. They think that we will leave the city [to find some food], and then they will capture us and capture the city.”
At ang hari ay bumangon sa gabi, at nagsabi sa kaniyang mga lingkod, Ipakikita ko sa inyo ngayon kung ano ang ginawa ng mga taga Siria sa atin. Kanilang talastas na tayo'y gutom; kaya't sila'y nagsilabas ng kampamento upang magsipangubli sa parang, na nagsasabi, Pagka sila'y nagsilabas sa bayan, ating kukunin silang buhay at papasok tayo sa bayan.
13 But one of his officials said, “Many of our Israeli people have already died [from (hunger/not having anything to eat]). If those of us who are still alive all stay here, we also will die anyway. So let’s send some men with five of our horses that are still alive to go and see [what has really happened].”
At isa sa kaniyang mga lingkod ay sumagot, at nagsabi, Isinasamo ko sa inyo na kunin ng ilan ang lima sa mga kabayong nalabi, na natira sa bayan (narito, sila'y gaya ng buong karamihan ng Israel na natira roon; narito, sila'y gaya ng buong karamihan ng Israel na nalipol: ) at tayo'y magsugo at ating tingnan.
14 So they chose some men and told them to go in a chariot and find out what had happened to the army of Syria.
Sila nga'y nagsikuha ng dalawang karo na may mga kabayo; at ang hari ay nagsugo na pinasundan ang hukbo ng mga taga Siria, na nagsabi, Kayo ay yumaon at tingnan ninyo.
15 They went as far as the Jordan [River]. All along the road they saw clothes and equipment that the soldiers from Syria had thrown away while they were running away very quickly. So the men returned to the king and reported [what they had seen].
At kanilang sinundan sila hanggang sa Jordan; at, narito, ang buong daa'y puno ng mga kasuutan at ng mga kasangkapan na mga inihagis ng mga taga Siria sa kanilang pagmamadali. At ang mga sugo ay nagsibalik at nagsaysay sa hari.
16 Then many of the people of Samaria also went [out of the city and went] to where the army of Syria had previously set up their tents. They entered all the tents and took everything. [So there was now plenty of everything!] As a result people could buy ten pounds of fine wheat or 20 pounds of barley for only one piece of silver, which was what Yahweh had said would happen!
At ang bayan ay lumabas, at sinamsaman ang kampamento ng mga taga Siria. Sa gayo'y ang takal ng mainam na harina ay naipagbili ng isang siklo, at ang dalawang takal ng sebada ay isang siklo, ayon sa salita ng Panginoon.
17 The king of Israel had appointed the officer who was his assistant to supervise what was happening at the marketplace. But as he was standing near the gate, all the people [who were rushing outside the city] trampled on him, and he died, which was what Elisha had said would happen to him when Elisha previously went to talk to the king.
At inihabilin ng hari sa punong kawal na pinangangapitan niya, ang katungkulan sa pintuang-bayan: at niyapakan siya ng bayan sa pintuang-bayan, at siya'y namatay na gaya ng sinabi ng lalake ng Dios, na nagsalita nang lusungin siya ng hari.
18 Elisha had told him that by the next day there would be plenty of food, with the result that anyone could buy ten pounds of fine wheat or 20 pounds of barley for only one piece of silver.
At nangyari, gaya ng sinabi ng lalake ng Dios sa hari, na sinasabi, Ang dalawang takal ng sebada ay maipagbibili isang siklo, at ang isang takal ng mainam na harina ay isang siklo, mangyayari bukas sa may ganitong oras sa pintuang-bayan ng Samaria;
19 And the officer had answered, “That certainly cannot [RHQ] happen! Even if Yahweh himself would open the sky and send down some grain, that could not happen.” And Elisha had replied, “[Because you said that, ] you [SYN] will see it happen, but you will not be able to eat any of the food!”
At ang punong kawal na yaon ay sumagot sa lalake ng Dios, at nagsabi, Ngayon, narito, kung ang Panginoon ay gagawa ng mga dungawan sa langit, mangyayari ba ang gayong bagay? At kaniyang sinabi, Narito, makikita mo yaon ng iyong mga mata, nguni't hindi ka kakain niyaon:
20 And that is what happened to him. The people [who were rushing out of] the city gate trampled on him, and he died.
Nangyari ngang gayon sa kaniya; sapagka't niyapakan siya ng bayan sa pintuang-bayan, at siya'y namatay.
