2 Samuel 21
1 During the time that David [ruled], there was a famine [in Israel] for three years. David prayed to Yahweh about it. And Yahweh said, “[In order for the famine to end], Saul’s family needs to be punished [MTY] because Saul killed many people from Gibeon [city].”
At nagkaroon ng kagutom sa mga kaarawan ni David na taon taon, sa tatlong taon; at hinanap ni David ang mukha ng Panginoon. At sinabi ng Panginoon, Dahil kay Saul, at dahil sa kaniyang salaring sangbahayan, sapagka't kaniyang pinatay ang mga Gabaonita.
2 The people of Gibeon were not Israelis; they were a small group of the Amor people-group whom the Israelis had solemnly promised to protect. But Saul had tried to kill all of them because he (was very zealous/wanted very much) to enable the people of Judah and Israel [to be the only ones living in that land]. So the king summoned the leaders of Gibeon
At tinawag ng hari ang mga Gabaonita at sinabi sa kanila; (ang mga Gabaonita nga ay hindi sa mga anak ni Israel, kundi sa nalabi sa mga Amorrheo; at ang mga anak ni Israel ay nagsisumpa sa kanila: at pinagsikapan ni Saul na patayin sa kaniyang sikap dahil sa mga anak ni Israel at Juda: )
3 and said to them, “What shall I do for you? How can I make amends/up for what was done to your people, in order that you will bless us who belong to Yahweh?”
At sinabi ni David sa mga Gabaonita, Ano ang gagawin ko sa inyo? at ano ang itutubos ko, upang inyong basbasan ang mana ng Panginoon?
4 They replied, “You cannot settle our quarrel with Saul and his family by giving us silver or gold. And we do not have the right to kill any Israelis.” So David asked, “Then/So what do you say that I should do for you?”
At sinabi ng mga Gabaonita sa kaniya, Hindi kabagayan ng pilak o ginto sa amin at kay Saul, o sa kaniyang sangbahayan; kahit sa amin ang pumatay ng sinomang tao sa Israel. At kaniyang sinabi, Ano ang inyong sasabihin, na aking gagawin sa inyo?
5 They replied, “Saul [wanted to] get rid of us. He wanted to annihilate/kill all of us, in order that none of us would live anywhere in Israel.
At kanilang sinabi sa hari, Ang lalake na pumupugnaw sa amin, at yaong nagbabanta laban sa amin, na kami ay malipol sa pagtahan sa alinman sa mga hangganan ng Israel,
6 Hand over to us seven of Saul’s descendants. We will hang them where Yahweh is worshiped in Gibeon, our town, the town where Saul, whom Yahweh previously chose to be king, lived.” The king replied, “Okay, I will hand them over to you.”
Ay ibigay sa amin ang pito sa kaniyang mga anak, at aming ibibitin sa Panginoon sa Gabaa ni Saul na pinili ng Panginoon. At sinabi ng hari, Aking ibibigay sila.
7 The king did not hand over to them Saul’s grandson Mephibosheth, because of what he and [Mephibosheth’s father] Jonathan had solemnly promised to each other.
Nguni't ang hari ay nanghinayang kay Mephiboseth na anak ni Jonathan na anak ni Saul, dahil sa sumpa ng Panginoon na namamagitan sa kanila, kay David at kay Jonathan na anak ni Saul.
8 Instead, he took Armoni and another man named Mephibosheth, the two sons that Saul’s slave wife Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, had given birth to, and the five sons that Saul’s daughter Merab had given birth to. Merab’s husband was Adriel, the son of a man named Barzillai from Meholah [town].
Nguni't kinuha ng hari ang dalawang anak ni Rispa, na anak ni Aja, na kaniyang ipinanganak kay Saul, si Armoni at si Mephiboseth; at ang limang anak ni Michal na anak na babae ni Saul na kaniyang ipinanganak kay Adriel na anak ni Barzillai, na Molathita:
9 David handed those men over to the men from Gibeon. Then they hanged those seven men on a hill where they worshiped Yahweh. They were all killed during the time of the year that the people started to harvest the barley.
At ibinigay niya sila sa mga kamay ng mga Gabaonita at mga ibinitin nila sa bundok sa harap ng Panginoon, at nangabuwal ang pito na magkakasama. At sila'y pinatay sa mga kaarawan ng pagaani, sa mga unang araw, sa pasimula ng pagaani ng sebada.
10 Then Rizpah took coarse cloth made from goats’ hair, and spread it on the rock [where the corpses lay]. She stayed there from the time that people started to harvest the barley until the rains started. She did not allow any birds to come near the corpses during the day, and she did not allow any animals to come near during the night.
At kumuha si Rispa na anak ni Aja ng isang magaspang na kayong damit, at inilatag niya sa ibabaw ng bato, mula sa pasimula ng pagaani hanggang sa ang tubig ay nabuhos sa mga yaon na mula sa langit; at hindi niya tiniis sa araw na dapuan yaon ng mga ibon sa himpapawid, o lapitan man sa gabi ng mga hayop sa parang.
11 When someone told David what Rizpah had done,
At nasaysay kay David ang ginawa ni Rispa na anak ni Aja, na babae ni Saul.
12 he went with some of his servants to Jabesh in [the] Gilead [region] and got the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan. The people of Jabesh had stolen their bones from the (plaza/public square) in Beth-Shan [city], where the men from Philistia had hanged them previously, on the day that they had killed Saul and Jonathan on Gilboa [Mountain].
At yumaon at kinuha ni David ang mga buto ni Saul at ang mga buto ni Jonathan na kaniyang anak sa mga lalake ng Jabes-galaad, na siyang nagsipagnakaw ng mga yaon sa daan ng Beth-san, na doon sila ibinitin ng mga Filisteo nang araw na patayin ng mga Filisteo si Saul sa Gilboa:
13 David and his men took the bones of Saul and Jonathan, and they also took the bones of the seven men [from Gibeon] whom the men from Philistia had hanged.
At kaniyang iniahon mula roon ang mga buto ni Saul at ang mga buto ni Jonathan na kaniyang anak; at kanilang pinisan ang mga buto ng mga ibinitin.
14 They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan in Zela [town] in the land of [the tribe of] Benjamin. Doing all that the king commanded, they buried their bones in the tomb where Saul’s father Kish [was buried]. After that, [because] God [saw that Saul’s family had been punished to pay for Saul’s murder of many people from Gibeon, he] answered the Israelis’ prayers for their land, and caused the famine to end.
At kanilang ibinaon ang mga buto ni Saul at ni Jonathan na kaniyang anak sa lupain ng Benjamin sa Sela sa libingan ni Cis na kaniyang ama: at kanilang tinupad yaong lahat na iniutos ng hari. At pagkatapos ang Dios ay nadalanginan dahil sa lupain.
15 The army of Philistia again started to fight against the army of Israel. And David and his soldiers went to fight the Philistines. During the battle, David became weary.
At ang mga Filisteo ay nagkaroon ng pakikidigma uli sa Israel; at si David ay lumusong, at ang kaniyang mga lingkod na kasama niya, at nangakipagbaka laban sa mga Filisteo. At si David ay napagod.
16 One of the Philistia men thought that he could kill David. His name was Ishbi-Benob. He was a descendant of [a group of] giants. He carried a bronze spear that weighed about (7-1/2 pounds/3-1/2 kg.), and he also had a new sword.
At si Isbi-benob, na sa mga anak ng higante; na ang bigat ng sibat niya ay tatlong daang siklong tanso, na palibhasa'y nabibigkisan ng bagong tabak ay nagmunukalang patayin si David.
17 But Abishai came to help David, and attacked the giant and killed him. Then David’s soldiers forced him to promise that he would not go with them into a battle again. They said to him, “[If you die, and none of your descendants become king, that would be like] [MET] extinguishing the last light in Israel.”
Nguni't sinaklolohan siya ni Abisai na anak ni Sarvia, at sinaktan ang Filisteo, at pinatay niya. Nang magkagayo'y nagsisumpa sa kaniya ang mga lalake ni David, na nangagsasabi, Hindi ka na lalabas pa na kasama namin sa pakikipagbaka, upang huwag mong patayin ang tanglaw ng Israel.
18 Some time after that, there was a battle with the army of Philistia near Gob [village]. During the battle, Sibbecai, from [the] Hushah [clan], killed Saph, one of the descendants of the Rapha giants.
At nangyari, pagkatapos nito, na nagkaroon uli ng pakikidigma sa mga Filisteo sa Gob; nang magkagayo'y sinaktan ni Sibechai na Husathita si Saph, na sa mga anak ng higante.
19 [Later] there was another battle with the army of Philistia at Gob. During that battle, Elhanan, the son of Jaare-Oregim from Bethlehem, killed [the brother of] Goliath from Gath [city]; Goliath’s spear shaft/handle was (very thick, like the bar on a weaver’s loom/over two inches thick).
At nagkaroon uli ng pakikidigma sa mga Filisteo sa Gob; at pinatay ni Elhanan na anak ni Jaare-oregim, na Bethlehemita, si Goliath na Getheo, na ang puluhan ng kaniyang sibat ay gaya ng panghabi ng manghahabi.
20 Later there was another battle near Gath. There was a (huge man/giant) there who liked to fight [in battles]. He had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. He was descended from [the] Rapha [giants].
At nagkaroon uli ng pakikipagbaka sa Gath, na doo'y may isang lalaking lubhang mataas, na mayroon sa bawa't kamay na anim na daliri, at sa bawa't paa'y anim na daliri, na dalawang pu't apat sa bilang: at siya ay ipinanganak din sa higante.
21 But when he (made fun of/ridiculed) the men in the Israeli [army], Jonathan, the son of David’s [older] brother Shimeah, killed him.
At nang kaniyang hamunin ang Israel, ay pinatay siya ni Jonathan na anak ni Sima na kapatid ni David.
22 Those four men were some of the descendants of the Rapha giants who had lived in Gath, who were killed [MTY] by David and his soldiers.
Ang apat na ito ay ipinanganak sa higante sa Gath; nangabuwal sa pamamagitan ng kamay ni David, at ng kamay ng kaniyang mga lingkod.
