2 Samuel 16
1 When David [and the others] had gone a little way past the top of the hill, Mephibosheth’s servant Ziba met him. He had with him two donkeys that were carrying 200 loaves of bread, 100 bunches/clusters of raisins, 100 bunches of fresh fruit, and a leather bag full of wine.
Nang makaalis si David nang di kalayuan sa tuktok ng burol, sinalubong siya ni Ziba ang lingkod ni Mefiboset na may dalawang upuang asno; may dalawandaang tinapay sa mga ito at sandaang kumpol ng mga pasas at sandaang buwig ng igos at isang balat na sisidlang alak.
2 The king said to Ziba, “What are these for?” Ziba replied, “The donkeys are for your family to ride on, the bread and the fruit are for your soldiers to eat, and the wine is for them to drink when they become exhausted in the desert.”
Sinabi ng hari kay Ziba, “Bakit mo dinala ang mga bagay na ito?” Sumagot si Ziba, “Ang mga asno ay para sa sambahayan ng hari para sakyan at ang mga tinapay at mga mamon na igos ay para sa iyong mga tauhan para kainin at ang alak ay para sa sinumang mahihilo sa ilang para inumin.”
3 The king said, “Where is Mephibosheth, the grandson of your [former] master [Saul]?” Ziba [deceived David by] saying, “He stayed in Jerusalem, because he thinks that now the Israeli people will allow him to rule the kingdom that his grandfather Saul ruled.”
Sinabi ng hari, “At nasaan ang apo ng iyong panginoon?” Sumagot si Ziba sa hari, “Tingnan, nagpaiwan siya sa Jerusalem, dahil sinabi niya, 'Ngayon ang tahanan ng Israel ay ipanunumbalik ang kaharian ng aking ama sa akin.”'
4 The king said to Ziba, “Okay, everything that belonged to Mephibosheth is now yours.” Ziba replied, “Your Majesty, I will humbly serve you; and I desire/hope that you will always be pleased with me.”
Pagkatapos sinabi ng hari kay Ziba, “Tingnan mo, lahat ng nabibilang kay Mefiboset ay nabibilang na sa iyo ngayon.” Sumagot si Ziba, “Yumuyukod akong may pagpapakumbaba sa iyo, aking panginoon, ang hari. Hayaan mo akong makasumpong ng biyaya sa iyong paningin.”
5 When King David [and those with him] arrived at Bahurim [town], a man named Shimei met him. Shimei, whose father was Gera, was one of Saul’s relatives. Shimei was cursing David as he approached.
Nang lumapit si Haring David sa Bahurim, may lumabas mula roon na isang lalaki mula sa angkan ni Saul na ang pangalan ay Simei anak ni Gera. Lumabas siyang nagmumura habang naglalakad.
6 Then he threw stones at David and his officials, even though the officials and David’s bodyguards surrounded David.
Binato niya si David at ang lahat ng mga opisyal ng hari, kahit na may hukbo at mga bantay na nasa kanan at kaliwa ng hari.
7 Shimei cursed David and said to him, “Get out of here, you murderer, you scoundrel!
Sumigaw si Simei na nagmumura, “Umalis ka, lumayas mula rito, masamang tao ka, tao ng dugo!
8 Yahweh is (getting revenge on/punishing) you all for murdering [MTY] many people in Saul’s family. And now he is giving Saul’s kingdom to your son Absalom. You murderer, you are being paid back for the many people that you have killed/murdered [MTY]!”
Pinaghigantihan kayong lahat ni Yahweh para sa dugo ng pamilya ni Saul na pinalitan ninyo sa pamumuno. Ibinigay ni Yahweh ang kaharian sa kamay ni Absalom ang iyong anak. At ngayon sira ka na dahil isa kang tao ng dugo.”
9 Then Abishai said to the king, “Your Majesty, this man is [as worthless as] [MET] a dead dog! (Why should he be allowed to curse you?/He should not be allowed to curse you.) [RHQ] Allow me to go over there and cut off his head!”
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Abisai anak na lalaki ni Zeruias sa hari, “Bakit kailangang murahin ng patay na asong ito ang aking panginoong hari? Pakiusap pahintulutan mo akong pumaroon at pugutan siya ng ulo.”
10 But the king replied, “You two sons of Zeruiah, (do not tell me what to do/this does not concern you) [RHQ]. If he is cursing me because Yahweh told him to do that, certainly no one should say ‘(Why are you doing that?/You should not be doing that.) [RHQ]’”
Pero sinabi ng hari, “Ano ang gagawin ko sa inyo, mga anak ni Zeruias? Marahil minumura niya ako dahil sinabi ni Yahweh sa kainya, 'Sumpain si David.' Sino sa gayon ang magkapagsabi sa kaniya, 'Bakit mo isinusumpa ang hari?”'
11 Then David said to Abishai and to all his officials, “You know that my own son is trying to kill me. So [it is not surprising that] this man from the tribe of Benjamin is also trying to kill me. So ignore him, and allow him to curse me, because [perhaps he thinks that] Yahweh told him to do that.
Kaya sinabi ni David kay Abisai at sa lahat ng kaniyang lingkod, “Tingnan niyo, ang aking anak na lalaki na ipinanganak mula sa aking katawan ay gustong kunin ang aking buhay. Paano pa kaya ang pagnanais na sirain ang lipi ng Benjamin? Iwan siyang mag-isa at hayaan siyang magmura, dahil inutusan siya ni Yahweh na gawin ito.
12 Perhaps Yahweh will see that I am having all this trouble, and [some day he will repay me by] (blessing/doing good things for) me in return for this man cursing me today.”
Marahil mamasdan ni Yahweh ang kapighatiang ipinataw sa akin at gantihan ako ng mabuti dahil sa pagmumura niya sa akin ngayon.”
13 Then David and those who were with him walked along the road, and Shimei continued walking along the hillside near him. While he walked along, he cursed David and threw stones and dirt at him.
Kaya naglakbay si David at ang kaniyang mga tauhan sa daan, samantalang si Simei ay sumabay sa kaniyang tabi paakyat sa dalisdis ng burol, nagmumura at naghahagis sa kaniya ng lupa at mga bato.
14 When David and those who were with him arrived at the Jordan [River], they were very tired. So they rested there.
Pagkatapos napagod ang hari at ang lahat ng taong kasama niya at nagpahinga siya nang huminto sila nang gabi na.
15 While that was happening, Absalom and all the Israeli people who were with him had arrived in Jerusalem. Ahithophel had also arrived there.
Si Absalom naman at ang lahat ng kalalakihan ng Israel na kasama niya, dumating sila sa Jerusalem at kasama niya si Ahitofel.
16 When David’s friend Hushai came to Absalom, he said to Absalom, “I desire/hope that the king will live a long time! May you live for many years!”
Nang dumating kay Absalom si Cusai na Arkite, ang kaibigan ni David, na sinabi ni Cusai kay Absalom, “Mabuhay ng mahaba ang hari! Mabuhay ng mahaba ang hari!”
17 Absalom said to Hushai, “You have been loyal [RHQ] to your friend [David for a long time]. So why did you not go with him [instead of coming to me]?”
Sinabi ni Absalom kay Cusai, “Ito ba ang katapatan mo sa iyong kaibigan? Bakit hindi ka sumama sa kaniya?”
18 Hushai replied, “I will serve the one whom Yahweh and these people and all the other people of Israel have chosen [to be their king]. So I will stay with you.
Sinabi ni Cusai kay Absalom, “Hindi! Sa halip, ang isang pinili ni Yahweh at ang mga tao ito at ang lahat ng kalalakihan ng Israel, sa mga taong ito ako napapabilang, at mananatili ako kasama niya.
19 You are my master [King David’s] son; if I do not serve you, what other man should I serve [RHQ]? I will serve you as I served your father.”
At saka, anong tao ang dapat kong paglingkuran? Hindi ba ako dapat maglingkod sa presensiya ng kaniyang anak na lalaki? Gaya ng paglilingkod ko sa presensiya ng iyong ama, maglilingkod ako sa iyong presensiya.”
20 Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “What do you advise that we should do?”
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Absalom kay Ahitofel, “Ibigay sa amin ang iyong payo tungkol sa dapat naming gawin.”
21 Ahithophel replied, “Your father left some of his slave wives in the palace to take care of it. Have sex [EUP] with them. When everyone in Israel hears that you have done that, they will realize that you are acting very contemptuously toward your father. Then all those who are with you will be very encouraged.”
Sumagot si Ahitopel kay Absalom, “Sumiping sa mga asawang alipin ng iyong ama na iniwan niya para pangalagaan ang palasyo at maririnig ng buong Israel na naging isa kang mabahong amoy sa iyong ama. Pagkatapos magiging malakas ang mga kamay ng lahat ng kasama mo.
22 So they set up a tent for Absalom on the roof [of the palace]. And Absalom went into the tent and had sex [EUP] with his father’s slave wives, [one by one, ] and everyone [HYP] could see [him going into the tent].
Kaya naglatag sila ng isang tolda para kay Absalom sa ibabaw ng palasyo at sumiping si Absalom sa mga asawang alipin ng kaniyang ama sa paningin ng buong Israel.
23 In those days, people accepted what Ahithophel recommended as though he were speaking the words of God. So just as David had always accepted what Ahithophel said, now Absalom did also.
Ngayon ang payo ni Ahitofel na ibinigay niya sa mga araw na iyon ay para bang narinig ng isang tao ito mula mismo sa bibig ng Diyos. Ganyang paraan tiningnan nina David at Absalom ang payo ni Ahitofel.
