2 Samuel 17
1 Then Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Allow me to choose 12,000 men, and I will leave [with them] tonight to pursue David.
Unya miingon si Ahitofel kang Absalom, “Karon tugoti ako sa pagpili ug 12, 000 ka mga kalalakin-an, ug mobarog ako aron gukdon si David karong gabhiona.
2 We will attack him while he is tired and discouraged, and cause him to be very frightened. All the soldiers who are with him will run away. We will kill only the king.
Moabot ako kaniya samtang gikapoy siya ug luya unya kuraton ko siya sa kahadlok. Ang mga tawo nga uban kaniya magakalagiw, ug ang hari lamang ang akong sulungon.
3 Then we will bring back all his soldiers to you, like [SIM] a (bride/woman comes to her husband when she is married). You are wanting to kill only one man; so the other people will not be harmed.”
Dalhon ko pagbalik ang tanang katawhan kanimo, sama sa pangasaw-onon nga moadto sa iyang bana, ug ang tanang tawo magmalinawon ubos kanimo.”
4 Absalom and all the Israeli leaders [who were with him] thought that what Ahithophel said would be good to do.
Nakapahimuot kang Absalom ug sa tanan nga kadagkoan sa Israel ang gisulti ni Ahitofel.
5 But Absalom said, “Summon Hushai also, and we will hear what he suggests.”
Unya miingon si Absalom, “Karon tawga si Husai nga Arkitihanon, ug atong paminawon ang iyang isulti.”
6 So when Hushai arrived, Absalom told him what Ahithophel had suggested. Then he asked Hushai, “What do you think we should do? If you do not think that we should do what Ahithophel suggests, tell us [what you think that we should do].”
Sa dihang miadto si Husai kang Absalom, gipasabot ni Absalom kaniya kung unsa ang gisulti ni Ahitofel unya gipangutana si Husai, “Buhaton ba nato ang gisulti ni Ahitofel? Kung dili, sultihi kami kung unsa ang imong matambag.”
7 Hushai replied, “This time what Ahithophel has suggested is not good advice.
Busa miingon si Husai kang Absalom, “Dili maayo ang tambag nga gihatag ni Ahitofel karon nga panahon.”
8 You know that your father and the men who are with him are strong soldiers, and that now they are very angry, like [SIM] a mother bear whose cubs have been stolen from her. Furthermore, your father knows how to fight because he has fought in many battles. He will not stay with his troops during the night.
Midugang pa gayod si Husai, “Nasayod ka nga kusgan ug lig-on nga manggugubat ang imong amahan ug ang iyang mga kasundalohan, ug nasakitan kaayo sila, sama sila sa oso nga giilogan sa iyang mga anak didto sa uma. Hanas sa panggubatan ang imong amahan; dili siya matulog uban ang iyang mga kasundalohan karong gabii.
9 Right now he is probably already hiding in one of the pits, or in some other place. [If his soldiers start to attack your soldiers, and] if they kill some of them, whoever hears about that will say ‘Many of the soldiers with Absalom have been killed!’
Tan-awa, tingali ug nagtago siya karon sa bung-aw o sa laing mga dapit. Mahitabo kini nga sa unang pagsulong mangamatay ang pipila sa imong mga tawo, ug ang si bisan kinsa nga makadungog niini makaingon, 'Gipamatay ang mga kasundalohan ni Absalom.'
10 Then your other soldiers, even if they are as fearless [SIM, IDM] as lions, they will become very afraid. Do not forget that everyone in Israel knows that your father is a great/strong soldier, and that the soldiers who are with him are also very brave/courageous.
Unya bisan ang labing isog nga mga sundalo, nga adunay mga kasingkasing nga sama sa liyon, mangahadlok tungod kay nasayod ang tibuok Israel nga ang imong amahan usa ka kusgang tawo, ug ang mga tawo nga uban kaniya hilabihan ka kusgan.
11 “So what I suggest is that you summon all the Israeli soldiers, from Dan [in the far north] to Beersheba [in the far south]. They will be as many as the grains of sand on the seashore [HYP]. And then you yourself lead us into the battle.
Busa tambagan ko ikaw nga kinahanglan nga managtigom ang tibuok Israel kanimo, gikan sa Dan hangtod sa Beerseba, sama kadaghan sa mga balas nga anaa daplin sa dagat, ug nga moadto ka mismo sa panggubatan.
12 We will find [your father], wherever he is, and we will attack him [from all sides], like [SIM] dew covers all the ground. And neither he nor any of the soldiers who are with him will survive.
Unya moadto kita kaniya kung diin nato siya makaplagan, ug tabonan nato siya sama sa pagkahulog sa yamog sa yuta. Dili kita magbilin ug bisan usa nga buhi sa iyang mga kasundalohan, o bisan siya.
13 If he escapes into some city, all our soldiers will bring ropes and pull that city down into the valley. As a result, not one stone will be left there [on top of the hill where that city was]!”
Kung moatras siya ngadto sa usa ka siyudad, magadala ang tibuok Israel ug mga pisi sa siyudad ug ato kining birahon ngadto sa suba, hangtod nga walay makaplagan bisan gamay nga bato didto.”
14 Absalom and all the other Israeli men [who were with him] said, “What Hushai suggests is better than what Ahithophel suggested.” The reason that happened was that Yahweh had determined that if they would accept the good advice that Ahithophel had given them, [they would have been able to defeat/kill David]. But [as a result of their doing what Hushai suggested], Yahweh would cause a disaster to happen to Absalom.
Unya miingon si Absalom ug ang iyang mga kasundalohan sa Israel, “Mas maayo ang tambag ni Husai nga Arkihanon kaysa kang Ahitofel.” Gitakda na ni Yahweh ang pagsalikway sa maayong tambag ni Ahitofel aron mahimo kining hinungdan sa pagkalaglag ni Absalom.
15 Then Hushai told the two priests, Zadok and Abiathar, what both he and Ahithophel had suggested to Absalom and the Israeli leaders.
Unya miingon si Husai kang Sadok ug kang Abiatar nga mga pari, “Nagtambag si Ahitofel kang Absalom ug sa mga katigulangan sa Israel ug usa ka pamaagi, apan nagtambag ako ug laing pamaagi.
16 Then he said to them, “Send [a message] quickly to David. Tell him to not stay at the place where people walk across the river, near the desert. Instead, he and his soldiers must cross [the Jordan River] immediately, in order that they will not be killed/wiped out.”
Karon, pagdalig lakaw ug suginli si David; sulitihi siya, 'Ayaw pagkampo karong gabii sa sapa sa Araba, apan sa bisan unsang paagi panabok kamo, kung dili lamoyon ang hari lakip ang tanang tawo nga uban kaniya.'”
17 [The priest’s two sons, ] Jonathan and Ahimaaz, were waiting at En-Rogel [Spring], outside Jerusalem. They did not [dare to] enter the city, because if someone saw them, [he would report it to Absalom]. [While they were at En-Rogel, ] a female servant [of the two priests] would frequently go to them and report to them [what was happening], and then they would go and report it to King David.
Karon nagpuyo si Jonatan ug Ahimas sa tubod sa En Rogel. Adunay sulugoon nga babaye ang kanunay nagasulti kanila kung unsa ang kinahanglan nilang masayran, tungod kay dili sila mahimong moadto sa siyudad. Sa dihang miabot ang mensahe, moadto dayon sila aron suginlan si Haring David.
18 But a young man saw them, and went and reported it to Absalom. [They found out what the young man had done, ] so both of them left quickly and went to stay in the house of a man in Bahurim. That man had a well in his courtyard; so the two men went down into the well [to hide].
Apan nianang panahona, usa ka batan-ong lalaki ang nakakita kanila ug misumbong kang Absalom. Busa midali paglakaw si Jonatan ug si Ahimas paingon sa balay sa tawo nga ginganlan ug Bahurim, nga adunay atabay sa iyang hawanan, diin sila mikanaog.
19 The man’s wife took a cloth/mat and covered the well, and scattered grain on top of it in order that no one would know [that two men were hiding inside it].
Nikuha ug pangtabon sa atabay ang asawa sa tawo ug gibuklad kini sa baba sa atabay, ug gipangbutangan niya kini ug trigo, aron walay masayod nga atua didto sa atabay si Jonatan ug si Ahimas.
20 Some of Absalom’s soldiers [found out where the two men had gone. So they] went to the house, and asked the woman, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” She replied, “They crossed the river.” So the soldiers [crossed the river and] searched for them. But they could not find them, so they returned to Jerusalem.
Miadto ang mga kasundalohan nga sakop ni Absalom sa balay sa maong babaye ug miingon, “Diin man si Ahimas ug Jonatan?” Miingon ang babaye kanila, “Mitabok sila sa suba.” Busa human sa ilang pagpangita ug wala nila sila mahikaplagi, mibalik sila sa Jerusalem.
21 After they had gone, the two men came out of the well and went and reported to King David [what had happened and] what Ahithophel had suggested. Then they said to him, “Cross the river quickly!”
Nahitabo kini sa dihang nakalakaw na sila, migawas si Jonatan ug si Ahimas sa atabay. Ug milakaw sila aron sa pagsumbong ngadto kang Haring David; miingon sila kaniya, “Tindog ug pagtabok dayon sa tubig tungod kay naghatag si Ahitofel ug usa ka tambag mahitungod kanimo.”
22 So David and all his soldiers quickly started to cross the Jordan [River], and by dawn they had all crossed to the other side.
Unya mitindog si David ug ang tanang tawo nga uban kaniya, ug nanabok sila sa Jordan. Sa pagkabanagbanag na walay bisan usa kanila ang wala nakatabok sa Jordan.
23 When Ahithophel realized that Absalom was not going to do what he suggested, he put a saddle on his donkey and returned to his own town. He gave [to his family] instructions about his possessions, and then he hanged himself [because he knew that Absalom would be defeated and that he would be considered a traitor and be killed]. His body was buried in the tomb where his ancestors [had been buried].
Sa dihang nakita ni Ahitofel nga wala gisunod ang iyang tambag, gihampiloan niya ang iyang asno ug mibiya. Mipauli siya sa iyang siyudad, gihan-ay niya ang iyang mga buluhaton, ug gibitay ang iyang kaugalingon. Niini nga paagi namatay siya ug gilubong sa lubnganan sa iyang amahan.
24 David [and his soldiers] arrived at Mahanaim. And Absalom [and all his Israeli soldiers] also crossed the Jordan [River].
Unya miadto si David sa Mahanaim. Samtang si Absalom, nagtabok siya sa Jordan, siya ug ang tanan nga kasundalohan sa Israel uban kaniya.
25 Absalom had appointed [his cousin] Amasa to be the commander of his army, instead of Joab. Amasa was the son of a man named Jether, a descendant of Ishmael. Amasa’s mother was Abigail, the daughter of Nahash and the sister of Joab’s mother Zeruiah.
Gipili ni Absalom si Amasa nga mahimong labaw sa kasundalohan imbis nga si Joab. Si Amasa anak nga lalaki ni Jeter nga Ismaelita, nga nakigdulog kang Abigail, nga anak nga babaye ni Nahas ug igsoon nga babaye ni Seruia, ang inahan ni Joab.
26 Absalom and his Israeli soldiers set up their tents in [the] Gilead [region].
Unya nagkampo sa yuta sa Gilead ang katawhan sa Israel ug si Absalom.
27 When David [and his soldiers] arrived at Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah [city] in the Ammon area, and Machir the son of Ammiel from Lo-Debar [city], and Barzillai from Rogelim [town] in [the] Gilead [region]
Nahitabo kini sa dihang miabot si David sa Mahanaim, nga si Sobi anak nga lalaki ni Nahas nga gikan sa Raba sa Ammonihanon, ug si Makir nga anak nga lalaki ni Ammiel nga gikan sa Lo Debar, ug si Barzillai nga Gileadihanon nga gikan sa Rogelim,
28 brought sleeping mats, bowls, clay pots, barley, wheat flour, parched grain, beans, and lentils to them.
nagdala ug mga banig nga katulgan ug mga habol, mga panaksan ug mga kulon, ug trigo, sebada nga harina, sinanglag nga trigo, mga liso,
29 They brought honey and curds, sheep, and some cream/cheese for David and his soldiers to eat. They knew that David and his soldiers would be hungry and tired and thirsty [from marching] in the desert.
dugos, mantikilya, karnero, ug usa ka matang sa gatas, aron nga makakaon si David ug ang mga katawhan uban kaniya. Kini nga mga kasundalohan miingon, “Gipanggutom ang mga katawhan, gikapoy, ug giuhaw diha sa kamingawan.”
