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.
Labut pa si Achitophel miingon kang Absalom: Papilia ako karon ug napulo ug duha ka libong tawo, ug ako motindog ug molutos kang David niining 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.
Ug moadto ako kaniya samtang uga siya gikapuy ug maluya ug mga kamot, ug hadlokon ko siya; ug ang tibook katawohan nga uban kaniya mangalagiw; ug patyon ko ang hari lamang;
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.”
Ug dad-on ko pagbalik ang tibook katawohan nganhi kanimo; ang tawo nga imong gipangita daw mahisama nga ang tanan mahibalik: aron ang tibook katawohan magmalinawon.
4 Absalom and all the Israeli leaders [who were with him] thought that what Ahithophel said would be good to do.
Ug ang gipamulong nakapahimuot kaayo kang Absalom ug sa tanang mga anciano sa Israel.
5 But Absalom said, “Summon Hushai also, and we will hear what he suggests.”
Unya miingon si Absalom: Tawga karon si Husai, ang Arachanon, ug pamation ta usab kong unsay iyang ipamulong.
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].”
Ug sa diha nga si Husai nahiabut ngadto kang Absalom, si Absalom namulong kaniya, nga nagaingon: Si Achitophel namulong ingon niining paagiha: buhaton ba nato ingon sa iyang gipamulong? Kong dili, sumulti ka.
7 Hushai replied, “This time what Ahithophel has suggested is not good advice.
Ug si Husai miingon kang Absalom: Ang tambag nga gihatag ni Achitophel niining panahona dili maayo.
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.
Labut pa si Husai miingon: Ikaw nahibalo sa imong amahan ug sa iyang mga tawo, nga sila mga makusganong tawo, ug sila mabangis sa ilang mga hunahuna; ingon sa usa ka oso nga gikawatan sa iyang mga anak diha sa kapatagan; ug ang imong amahan maoy usa ka tawo sa gubat, ug dili mopuyo kauban sa katawohan.
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!’
Ania karon, siya natago karon sa bisan diing langub kun sa ubang dapit: ug mahitabo, sa diha nga ang uban kanila mangahulog pag-una, nga bisan kinsa nga makadungog niana magaingon: Anaay kamatayon sa taliwalaa sa katawohan nagasunod kang 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.
Ug bisan pa siya nga maisug, kansang kasingkasing ingon sa usa ka leon, molanay gayud; kay ang tibook Israel nahibalo nga ang imong amahan maoy usa ka gamhanan nga tawo, ug sila nga anaa kauban niya mga maisug nga tawo.
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.
Apan ako nagtambag nga ang tibook Israel mapundok sa tingub diha kanimo gikan sa Dan bisan ngadto sa Beer-seba, sama sa balas nga anaa sa baybayon sa gidaghanon; ug nga ikaw moadto sa gubat sa imong kaugalingong lawas.
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.
Busa moadto kami kaniya sa ubang dapit diin makaplagan siya, ug kami mopatay kaniya sama sa tun-og nga mahulog sa ibabaw sa yuta; ug kaniya ug sa tanang mga tawo nga uban kaniya walay bisan usa nga mabiyaan namo.
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]!”
Labut pa, kong makadangup siya ngadto sa usa ka ciudad, unya ang tibook nga Israel magadala ug mga pisi ngadto niadtong ciudara, ug magaguyod kami niini ngadto sa suba, hangtud nga walay bisan usa ka gamay nga bato nga makaplagan 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.
Ug si Absalom ug ang tanang mga tawo sa Israel miingon: Ang tambag ni Husai ang Arachanon maayo pa kay sa tambag ni Achitophel. Kay si Jehova nagsugo sa pagdaug sa maayong tambag ni Achitophel, sa tuyo nga si Jehova makahimo ug dautan kang 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 Sadoc ug kang Abiathar, ang mga sacerdote: Sa ingon niini ug niadto mitambag si Achitophel kang Absalom ug sa mga anciano sa Israel; ug maingon niini ug niadto ako nagtambag.
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.”
Busa karon pagpasugo pagdali, ug suginli si David, nga magaingon: Ayaw paghunong niining gabhiona sa mga tabokanan sa kamingawan, apan kutob sa tanang mamahimo padayon sa pagtabok; tingali unya ang hari pagalamyon, ug ang tibook katawohan 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 si Jonathan ug si Ahimaas nanagpuyo tupad sa Enrogel; ug ang usa ka sulogoon nga babaye magaadtoan ug magasugilon kanila; ug sila ming-adto ug nagsugilon kang David nga hari; kay sila tingali wala hikit-i sa pag-adto ngadto sa ciudad.
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 usa ka bata nga lalake nakakita kanila, ug gisuginlan si Absalom: ug nangadto silang duruha pagdali; ug miadto sa balay sa usa ka tawo sa Bahurim, nga may usa ka atabay sa iyang natad; ug mingsulod sila didto.
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].
Ug ang babaye mikuha ug nagbuklad sa tabon sa ibabaw sa baba sa atabay, ug gisaliyaban ang ibabaw sa mga dinugmok nga trigo; ug walay nailhan.
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.
Ug ang mga sulogoon ni Absalom ming-adto sa babaye ngadto sa balay; ug sila ming-ingon: Hain si Ahimaas ug si Jonathan? Ug ang babaye miingon kanila: Sila nanabok sa sapa nga tubigan. Ug sa ilang gipangita ug wala makakaplag kanila, sila mingbalik 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!”
Ug nahitabo, sa human na mahitalikod sila, nga nanggula sila gikan sa atabay ug ming-adto ug mingsugilon kang David nga hari. Ug sila ming-ingon kang David: Bumangon ka ug dumali sa pagtabok sa tubig; kay sa ingon niini si Achitophel mitambag batok 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 si David mibangon ug ang tibook katawohan nga kauban niya, ug nanabok sila sa Jordan: ug sa pagbanagbanag sa kabuntagon walay kulang bisan usa kanila nga wala makatabok 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].
Ug sa diha nga si Achitophel nakakita nga ang iyang tambag wala tumana, gimontorahan niya ang iyang asno, ug mitindog ug mipauli siya sa iyang balay didto sa ciudad niya, ug gihusay niya ang iyang balay, ug nagbitay sa iyang kaugalingon; ug siya namatay, 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 si David midangat sa Mahanaim. Ug si Absalom mitabok sa Jordan, siya ug ang tibook katawohan 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.
Ug si Absalom nagbutang kang Amasa nga pangulo sa panon ilis ni Joab. Karon si Amasa maoy usa ka anak nga lalake sa usa ka tawo, kansang ngalan mao si Itra, ang Israelihanon, nga miadto kang Abigal, ang anak nga babaye ni Naas, igsoon nga babaye ni Sarvia, nga inahan ni Joab.
26 Absalom and his Israeli soldiers set up their tents in [the] Gilead [region].
Ug ang Israel ug si Absalom nanagpahaluna sa yuta sa Galaad.
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]
Ug nahitabo, sa diha nga si David nahiabut na sa Mahanaim, nga si Sobi, ang anak nga lalake ni Naas sa Rabba sa mga anak sa Ammon, ug si Machir, ang anak nga lalake ni Ammiel sa Lodebar, ug si Barzillai nga Galaadnon sa Rogelim,
28 brought sleeping mats, bowls, clay pots, barley, wheat flour, parched grain, beans, and lentils to them.
Nanagdala ug mga higdaanan, ug mga dolang, ug mga saro nga yuta, ug trigo, ug cebada, ug harina, ug sinanglag trigo, ug mga habichuelas, ug mga mongos, ug pinaugang 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.
Ug dugos, ug mantiquilla, ug mga carnero, ug queso sa mga vaca, alang kang David ug alang sa katawohan nga uban kaniya, aron pagakan-on: kay sila miingon: Ang katawohan gipanggutom, ug gipangapuyan, ug giuhaw, diha sa kamingawan.
