< 2 Kings 9 >
1 Meanwhile, the prophet Elisha summoned one of the other prophets. He said to him, “Get ready [IDM] and go to Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region]. Take this jar of [olive] oil with you.
At tinawag ni Eliseo na propeta ang isa sa mga anak ng mga propeta at nagsabi sa kaniya, Bigkisan mo ang iyong mga balakang, at hawakan mo ang sisidlang ito ng langis sa iyong kamay, at pumaroon ka sa Ramoth-galaad.
2 When you arrive there, search for a man named Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat and grandson of Nimshi. Go with him into a room away from his companions,
At pagdating mo roon, hanapin mo roon si Jehu na anak ni Josaphat na anak ni Nimsi, at iyong pasukin at patayuin mo sa gitna ng kaniyang mga kapatid, at dalhin mo siya sa isang silid sa loob.
3 and pour [some of] this oil on his head. Then say to him, ‘Yahweh declares that he is appointing you to be the king of Israel.’ Then open the door and run away as quickly as you can.”
Kung magkagayo'y kunin mo ang sisidlan ng langis, at ibuhos mo sa kaniyang ulo, at iyong sabihin, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Pinahiran kita upang maging hari sa Israel. Kung magkagayo'y buksan mo ang pintuan, at ikaw ay tumakas at huwag kang maghintay.
4 So the young prophet went to Ramoth.
Sa gayon ang binata, sa makatuwid baga'y ang binatang propeta, ay naparoon sa Ramoth-galaad.
5 When he arrived, he saw that the commanders of the army were having a conference. He [looked at Jehu and] said, “Sir, I have a message for [one of] you.” Jehu replied, “Which one of us is the message for?” The young prophet replied, “It is for you, commander/sir.”
At nang siya'y dumating, narito; ang mga punong kawal ng hukbo ay nangakaupo: at kaniyang sinabi, Ako'y may isang sadya sa iyo, Oh punong kawal. At sinabi ni Jehu, Sa alin sa aming lahat? At kaniyang sinabi, Sa iyo, Oh punong kawal.
6 So Jehu got up and went with the young prophet into a house. There the young prophet poured some [olive] oil on Jehu’s head and said to him, “Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], declares this: ‘I am appointing you to be the king of my Israeli people.
At siya'y tumindig at pumasok sa bahay, at kaniyang ibinuhos ang langis sa kaniyang ulo, at nagsabi sa kaniya, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel. Aking pinahiran ka upang maging hari sa bayan ng Panginoon, sa makatuwid baga'y sa Israel.
7 You must kill your master [King Joram], the son of Ahab, because I want to punish [Ahab’s wife] Jezebel for murdering [MTY] many of my prophets and other people who served me.
At iyong sasaktan ang sangbahayan ni Achab na iyong panginoon, upang aking ipaghiganti ang dugo ng aking mga lingkod na mga propeta, at ang dugo ng lahat na lingkod ng Panginoon sa kamay ni Jezabel.
8 You must kill [not only Joram but] all of Ahab’s family. I want to get rid of every male in the family, including young ones and old ones.
Sapagka't ang buong sangbahayan ni Achab ay malilipol: at aking ihihiwalay kay Achab ang bawa't batang lalake, at ang nakulong at ang naiwan sa kaluwangan sa Israel.
9 I will get rid of Ahab’s family, like I got rid of the families of two other kings of Israel, Jeroboam and Baasha.
At aking gagawin ang sangbahayan ni Achab na gaya ng sangbahayan ni Jeroboam na anak ni Nabat, at gaya ng sangbahayan ni Baasa na anak ni Ahia.
10 And [when] Jezebel [dies], her corpse will not be buried. Dogs will eat her corpse there in Jezreel [city].’” After the young prophet said this, he left the room and ran.
At lalapain ng mga aso si Jezabel sa putol ng lupa ni Jezreel, at walang maglilibing sa kaniya. At kaniyang binuksan ang pintuan, at tumakas.
11 When Jehu came out of the room to where his other commanders were, they said to him, “Is everything all right? Why did that mad fellow come to you?” He replied, “You know what kinds of things young prophets like him say.”
Nang magkagayon, nilabas ni Jehu ang mga lingkod ng kaniyang panginoon: at sinabi ng isa sa kaniya, Lahat ba'y mabuti? bakit naparito ang ulol na taong ito sa iyo? At sinabi niya sa kanila, Inyong kilala ang lalake at ang kaniyang pananalita.
12 They said, “You are lying! Tell us what he said!” He replied, “He told me that Yahweh said, ‘I am appointing [MTY] you to be the king of Israel.’”
At kanilang sinabi, Kabulaanan nga; saysayin mo sa amin ngayon. At kaniyang sinabi, Ganito't ganito ang sinalita niya sa akin, na sinasabi, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon: Pinahiran kita ng langis upang maging hari sa Israel.
13 Then they all spread their cloaks on the steps of the building [for Jehu to walk out on], and they blew trumpets and shouted, “Jehu is now the king!”
Nang magkagayo'y sila'y nangagmadali, at kinuha ng bawa't isa ang kaniyang kasuutan, at inilagay sa ilalim niya sa ibabaw ng hagdan, at humihip ng pakakak, na nagsasabi, Si Jehu ay hari.
14 King Joram and his army had been defending Ramoth against the attacks by the army of the king of Syria. King Joram had returned to Jezreel [city], to recover from being wounded in the battle against the army of Hazael, the king of Syria. And Jehu made plans to kill Joram. He said to his other commanders, “If helping me is truly what you want, make sure that no one leaves this city to go to warn the people of Jezreel [about what I am planning to do].”
Ganito, si Jehu na anak ni Josaphat, na anak ni Nimsi, nanghimagsik laban kay Joram. (Iningatan nga ni Joram ang Ramoth-galaad niya at ng buong Israel, dahil kay Hazael na hari sa Siria;
Nguni't bumalik ang haring Joram upang magpagaling sa Jezreel ng mga sugat na isinugat sa kaniya ng mga taga Siria, nang siya'y lumaban kay Hazael na hari sa Siria.) At sinabi ni Jehu, Kung ito ang inyong isipan, huwag tumanan ang sinoman at lumabas sa bayan, upang yumaon na saysayin sa Jezreel.
16 Then Jehu and his officers got into their chariots and rode to Jezreel, where Joram was still recovering. And King Ahaziah of Judah was there, visiting Joram.
Sa gayo'y sumakay si Jehu sa karo at naparoon sa Jezreel; sapagka't si Joram ay nahihiga roon. At si Ochozias na hari sa Juda ay bumaba upang tingnan si Joram.
17 A guard was standing in the watchtower in Jezreel. He saw Jehu and his men approaching. He called out, “I see a lot of men [who are approaching]!” King Joram [heard what the watchman said, so he] said to his soldiers, “Send someone on a horse to go and find out if they are coming to be friendly to us or to attack us.”
Ang tagatanod nga ay tumayo sa moog sa Jezreel, at kaniyang tinanaw ang pulutong ni Jehu habang dumarating siya, at nagsabi, Ako'y nakakakita ng isang pulutong. At sinabi ni Joram, Kumuha ka ng isang mangangabayo, at iyong suguin na salubungin sila, at magsabi, Kapayapaan ba?
18 So a man rode out to meet Jehu and said to him, “The king wants to know [if you are coming to be] friendly to us.” Jehu replied, “This is not the time for you [RHQ] to be concerned about acting friendly! Turn around and come behind me!” So the guard in the watchtower reported that the messenger had reached the group [that was approaching], but that he was not returning [alone].
Sa gayo'y naparoon ang isa na nangangabayo na sinalubong siya, at nagsabi, Ganito ang sabi ng hari, Kapayapaan ba? At sinabi ni Jehu, Anong ipakikialam mo sa kapayapaan? bumalik kang kasunod ko. At isinaysay ng tagatanod, na sinasabi, Ang sugo ay dumating sa kanila, nguni't siya'y hindi bumabalik.
19 So King Joram sent another messenger, who asked Jehu the same question. Again Jehu replied, “This is not the time [RHQ] for you to be concerned about acting friendly! Turn around and follow me!”
Nang magkagayo'y nagsugo ng ikalawa na nangangabayo na dumating sa kanila, at nagsabi, Ganito ang sabi ng hari, Kapayapaan ba? At sumagot si Jehu, Ano ang iyong ipakikialam sa kapayapaan? bumalik kang kasunod ko.
20 Then the watchman reported again, “That messenger also reached them, but he is not coming back [alone]. And [the leader of the group must be] Jehu, the son of Nimshi, because he is driving [his chariot] furiously, [like Jehu does]!”
At isinaysay ng tagatanod, na sinasabi, Siya'y dumating hanggang sa kanila, at hindi bumabalik: at ang pagpapatakbo ay gaya ng pagpapatakbo ni Jehu, na anak ni Nimsi; sapagka't siya'y nagpapatakbo na magilas.
21 Joram said [to his soldiers], “Get [my chariot] ready!” So they did that. Then King Joram and King Ahaziah both rode toward Jehu, each one in his own chariot. And [it happened that] they met Jehu at the field that had previously belonged to Naboth!
At sinabi ni Joram, Magsingkaw. At kanilang isiningkaw ang kaniyang karo. At si Joram na hari sa Israel at si Ochozias na hari sa Juda ay nagsilabas, bawa't isa sa kaniyang karo, at sila'y nagsilabas upang salubungin si Jehu, at nasumpungan nila siya sa putol ng lupa ni Naboth na Jezreelita.
22 When Joram met Jehu, he said to him, “Are you coming on a peaceful visit?” Jehu replied, “(How can there be peace while you and your people are prostrating themselves to worship idols and practicing very much (witchcraft/sorcery) like your mother Jezebel did?/There certainly cannot be peace while you and your people are prostrating themselves to worship idols and practicing (witchcraft/sorcery) like your mother Jezebel has been doing!)” [RHQ]
At nangyari, nang makita ni Joram si Jehu, na kaniyang sinabi, Kapayapaan ba Jehu? At siya'y sumagot. Anong kapayapaan, habang ang mga pakikiapid ng iyong inang si Jezabel at ang kaniyang panggagaway ay totoong lumalala?
23 Joram cried out, “Ahaziah, they have deceived us! [They want to kill us]!” So Joram turned his chariot around and tried to flee.
At ipinihit ni Joram ang kaniyang mga kamay, at tumakas, at nagsabi kay Ochozias. May paglililo, Oh Ochozias.
24 But Jehu drew his bow mightily and shot [an arrow that pierced] Joram between his shoulder blades. The arrow [went through his body and] pierced his heart, and he slumped down dead in his chariot.
At binunot ni Jehu ang kaniyang busog ng kaniyang buong lakas, at sinaktan si Joram sa pagitan ng kaniyang mga balikat, at ang pana ay lumagpas sa kaniyang puso, at siya'y nabuwal sa kaniyang karo.
25 Then Jehu said to his assistant Bidkar, “Take his corpse and throw it here into the field that belonged to Naboth. [I am sure that] you remember that when you and I were riding together [in chariots] behind King Joram’s father Ahab, that Yahweh said this about Ahab:
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Jehu kay Bidkar na kaniyang punong kawal: Itaas mo, at ihagis mo sa bahagi ng bukid ni Naboth na Jezreelita: sapagka't alalahanin mo kung paanong ako't ikaw ay sumakay na magkasama na kasunod ni Achab na kaniyang ama, na ipinasan ng Panginoon ang pasang ito sa kaniya;
26 ‘Yesterday I saw Ahab murder [MTY] Naboth and his sons here. And I solemnly promise that I will punish him right here in this same field!’ So take Joram’s corpse and throw it into that field! That will fulfill what Yahweh said would happen.”
Tunay na aking nakita kahapon ang dugo ni Naboth, at ang dugo ng kaniyang mga anak, sabi ng Panginoon; at aking sisiyasatin sa iyo sa panig na ito, sabi ng Panginoon. Ngayon nga'y kunin mo, at ihagis mo sa panig ng lupa, ayon sa salita ng Panginoon.
27 When King Ahaziah saw what happened, he fled [in his chariot] toward Beth-Haggan [town]. But Jehu pursued him and said [to his other commanders], “Shoot him, also!” So they shot him [with arrows] while he was riding in his chariot on the road up to Gur, near Ibleam [town]. He continued going in his chariot until he reached Megiddo [city], where he died.
Nguni't nang makita ito ni Ochozias na hari sa Juda, siya'y tumakas sa daan ng bahay sa halamanan. At si Jehu ay sumunod sa kaniya, at nagsabi, Saktan mo rin siya sa karo: at sinaktan nila siya sa ahunan sa Gur, na nasa siping ng Ibleam. At siya'y tumakas na napatungo sa Megiddo, at namatay roon.
28 His officials took his corpse back to Jerusalem and buried it in the tombs in the [part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors had been buried.
At dinala siya ng kaniyang mga lingkod sa isang karo sa Jerusalem, at inilibing siya sa kaniyang libingan na kasama ng kaniyang mga magulang sa bayan ni David.
29 Ahaziah had become the king of Judah when Joram had been ruling Israel for almost eleven years.
At nang ikalabing isang taon ni Joram na anak ni Achab ay nagpasimulang maghari si Ochozias sa Juda.
30 Then Jehu went to Jezreel. When [Ahab’s widow] Jezebel heard what had happened, she put paint/makeup on her eyelids, and combed her hair to make it beautiful, and looked out the window [of the palace toward the street below].
At nang si Jehu ay dumating sa Jezreel nabalitaan ni Jezabel; at kaniyang kinulayan ang kaniyang mga mata, at ginayakan ang kaniyang ulo, at dumungaw sa dungawan.
31 While Jehu was entering the city gate, she called out to him, “You [are like] Zimri! You are a murderer! [I think] you are certainly not [RHQ] coming on a peaceful visit!”
At samantalang si Jehu ay pumapasok sa pintuang-bayan, kaniyang sinabi, Kapayapaan ba ikaw Zimri, ikaw na mamamatay sa iyong Panginoon?
32 Jehu looked up toward the window, and then he said, “Who is (on my side/wants to help me)? Anyone?” Two or three palace officials looked down at him [from a window and pointed to themselves].
At kaniyang itiningala ang kaniyang mukha sa dungawan, at nagsabi, Sino ang sa ganang akin? sino? At dinungaw siya ng dalawa o tatlong bating.
33 Jehu said to them, “Throw her down here!” So they threw her down, and [when she hit the ground and died], some of her blood splattered on the city wall and on the horses [that were pulling the chariots].
At kaniyang sinabi, Ibagsak ninyo siya. Sa gayo'y ibinagsak nila siya: at ang iba sa kaniyang dugo ay pumilansik sa pader, at sa mga kabayo: at siya'y kaniyang niyapakan ng paa.
34 Then Jehu went into the palace and ate and drank. Then he said [to some of his men], “Take the corpse of that women whom Yahweh has cursed and bury it, because she is a king’s daughter [and therefore should be buried properly].”
At pagkapasok niya, siya'y kumain at uminom; at kaniyang sinabi, Tingnan ninyo ngayon ang sinumpang babaing ito, at ilibing ninyo siya: sapagka't anak ng hari.
35 But when they went to get her corpse to bury it, all that was left was only her skull and [the bones of] her feet and her hands. Everything else was gone.
At sila'y nagsiyaon upang ilibing siya: nguni't wala na silang nasumpungan sa kaniya kundi ang bungo, at ang mga paa, at ang mga palad ng kaniyang mga kamay.
36 When they reported this to Jehu, he said, “That is what Yahweh said would happen! He told his servant/prophet Elijah, ‘In [the city of] Jezreel, dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel’s corpse.
Kaya't sila'y nagsibalik, at isinaysay sa kaniya. At kaniyang sinabi, Ito ang salita ng Panginoon, na kaniyang sinalita sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang lingkod na si Elias na Thisbita, na sinasabi, Sa bahagi ng Jezreel kakanin ng mga aso ang laman ni Jezabel:
37 Her bones will be scattered there in Jezreel like dung, with the result that no one will be able to [recognize them and] say, “These are Jezebel’s bones.”’”
At ang bangkay ni Jezabel ay magiging gaya ng dumi na itinapon sa ibabaw ng bukid sa bahagi ng Jezreel; na anopa't hindi nila sasabihin, Ito'y si Jezabel.
