2 Samuel 3
1 There was a long war between those who wanted Saul’s son to be their king and those who wanted David to be their king. But more and more people began to want David to be the king, while the number of people who wanted Saul’s son to be the king continued to become smaller.
Ngayon ay mayroong isang mahabang digmaan sa pagitan ng tahanan ni Saul at ng tahanan ni David. Patuloy na lumalakas ng lumakas si David pero ang tahanan ni Saul ay patuloy na humihina ng humihina.
2 David’s wives gave birth to six sons at Hebron. The oldest was Amnon, whose mother was Ahinoam, from Jezreel [city].
Ang mga anak na lalaki ay ipinanganak kay David sa Hebron. Ang kaniyang panganay ay si Amnon, kay Anihoam mula sa Jezreel.
3 The next one was Kileab, whose mother was Abigail, the widow of Nabal, from Carmel [city]. The next one was Absalom, whose mother was Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, the king of [the] Geshur [region].
Ang kaniyang pangalawang anak, ay si Quileb, ay ipinanganak kay Abigail, ang biyuda ni Nabal mula sa Carmel. Ang pangatlo, ay si Absalom, anak ni Maaca, anak na babae ni Talmai, hari ng Gesur.
4 The next one was Adonijah, whose mother was Haggith. The next one was Shephatiah, whose mother was Abital.
Si Adonias, ang ikaapat na anak na lalaki ni David, na anak na lalaki ni Haggit. Ang ikalima ay si Sheftias, anak na lalaki ni Abital,
5 The youngest one was Ithream, whose mother was Eglah, [another one of] David’s wives. Those sons of David were all born in Hebron.
at ang ika-anim, si Itream, anak na lalaki ng asawa ni David na si Egla. Ang mga anak na lalaki na to ay ipinanganak kay David sa Hebron.
6 While those who wanted Saul’s son to rule over them and those who wanted David to rule over them continued to fight against each other, Abner was becoming more influential among those who wanted Saul’s son to be the king.
Nangyari ito sa panahon ng digmaan sa pagitan sa tahanan ni Saul at sa tahanan ni David na si Abner ay nagawang palakasin ang tahanan ni Saul.
7 When Saul was alive, he had as one of his wives a slave woman named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. [But one day Abner had sexual relations with her]. So Ishbosheth said to Abner, “Why have you had sexual relations with [EUP] my father’s slave wife?”
May isang kerida si Saul na ang pangalan ay Rizpa, ang anak na babae ni Aya. Sinabi ni Isobet kay Abner, “Bakit mo sinipingan ang kerida ng aking ama?”
8 Abner became very angry about what Ishbosheth said to him. He said to Ishbosheth, “(Do you think that I am a [worthless] dog [MET] from Judah?/You are treating me as though I am a [worthless] dog [MET] from Judah.) [RHQ] From the beginning, I have been loyal to Saul your father, to his brothers, and to his friends. And I have prevented you from being defeated by David’s army. So now (why are you criticizing me about [what I have done with] some woman?/you should not be criticizing me about [what I have done with] some woman.) [RHQ]
Pagkatapos si Abner ay galit na galit sa mga salita ni Isobet at sinabi, “Ako ba ay ulo ng aso na pag-aari ng Juda? Sa araw na ito ay ipinapakita ko ang katapatan sa tahanan ni Saul, ang iyong ama, sa kaniyang mga kapatid na lalaki, at sa kaniyang mga kaibigan sa hindi ko pagbibigay sa iyo sa kamay ni David. At ngayon pinaparatangan mo ako sa araw na ito tungkol sa babaeng ito.
9 Yahweh solemnly promised that he would not allow Saul and his descendants to continue to rule. He promised that he would cause David to rule over all the tribes of Israel and Judah, from Dan [city] far in the north to Beersheba [city] far in the south. So I hope/desire that God will punish me severely [HYP] if I do not enable that to happen!”
Nawa gawin sa akin ng Diyos, Abner, at mas masama pa, kung hindi ko gagawin para kay David ang gaya ng ipinangako ni Yahweh sa kaniya,
na ilipat ang kaharian mula sa tahanan ni Saul at itayo ang trono ni David sa buong Israel at sa buong Juda, mula Dan hanggang Beerseba.”
11 Ishbosheth was very afraid of Abner, so he did not say anything in reply to Abner.
Hindi makasagot si Isobet kay Abner ng iba pang salita, dahil natakot siya sa kaniya.
12 Then Abner sent messengers to David [when he was at Hebron], to say to him, “[Either you or I] should be [RHQ] the ruler of this entire nation, [but not Isbosheth. However, ] if you make an agreement with me, I will help you by encouraging all the people of Israel to (be want you to be their king/start to support) you.”
Pagkatapos nagpadala ng mga mensahero si Abner kay David, para kausapin siya sa pagsasabing, “Kaninong lupa ito?” Gumawa ka ng isang kasunduan sa akin, at makikita mo na ang aking kamay ay nasa iyo, dalhin ang buong Israel sa iyo.”
13 David sent back this reply: “Good! I am willing to make an agreement with you. But before that happens, there is one thing that you must do. When you come to see me, you must bring my wife Michal, Saul’s daughter.”
Sumagot si David, “Mabuti, gagawa ako ng isang kasunduan sa iyo. Pero isang bagay ang hihingin ko mula sa iyo na hindi mo makikita ang aking mukha maliban na dalhin mo muna si Mical, ang anak na babae ni Saul, kapag nakipagkita ka sa akin.”
14 Then David sent messengers to Ishbosheth, to say to him, “I [had to kill] 100 men from Philistia [and cut off] their foreskins to give to Saul to pay for Michal [to be my wife]. So now give her back to me!”
Pagkatapos nagpadala ng mga mensahero si David kay Isobet, anak na lalaki ni Saul, na nagsasabing, “Ibigay mo sa akin ang aking asawa na si Mical, na aking binayaran na nagkakahalaga ng isangdaang balat ng mga taga-Filisteo.”
15 So Ishbosheth sent some men to take Michal from her husband Palti. But [when they took her, ] her husband followed them all the way to Bahurim [town], crying as he went.
Kaya ipinakuha ni Isobet si Mical at kinuha siya sa kaniyang asawa, na si Patiel anak na lalaki ni Lais.
16 Then Abner [turned and] said to him, “Go back [home]!”, so he did.
Sumama ang kaniyang asawa sa kaniya, umiiyak habang papaalis, at sinundan siya sa Bahurim. Pagkatapos sinabi ni Abner sa kaniya, “Bumalik sa bahay mo ngayon.” Kaya nagbalik siya.
17 Abner went to the Israeli leaders and talked with them. He said, “For a long time you have wanted David to be your king.
Kinausap ni Abner ang mga nakatatanda sa Israel sa pagsasabing, “Nang nakaraan sinusubukan ninyo na mag hari si David sa inyo.
18 So now you have an opportunity to do that. Keep in mind that Yahweh promised this: ‘With the help of David, who serves me [well], I will rescue my people from the people of Philistia, and from the power [MTY] of all their other enemies’.”
Ngayon gawin ito. Dahil nakipag-usap si Yahweh kay David sinasabing, 'Sa pamamagitan ng kamay ng aking lingkod na si David ililigtas ko ang aking mga tao ang Israel mula sa kapangyarihan ng mga Filisteo at sa lahat ng kanilang mga kaaway.””
19 Abner also spoke to the people of the tribe of Benjamin. Then he went to Hebron, to tell David what all the people of Israel and the people of the tribe of Benjamin had agreed to do.
Kinausap din mismo ni Abner ang bayan ng Benjamin. Pagkatapos pumunta rin si Abner upang makipag-usap kay David sa Hebron para ipaliwanag ang lahat ng bagay na ninanais ng Israel at ng buong sambahayan ni Benjamin na nais tapusin.
20 When Abner came with 20 of his soldiers to see David at Hebron, David made a feast for all of them.
Nang dumating sa Hebron si Abner at ang dalawampu sa kaniyang mga tauhan para makipagkita kay David, naghanda si David ng isang piging para sa kanila.
21 Afterwards, Abner said to David, “Sir/Your majesty, I will now go and encourage all the people of Israel to accept you to be their king, as you have desired.” Then Abner left, peacefully.
Ipinaliwanag ni Abner kay David, “Ako ay aalis at titipunin ang buong Israel para sa iyo, aking panginoon ang hari, nang sa gayon gagawa sila ng isang kasunduan sa iyo, nang sa gayon maaari kang maghari sa lahat ng nanaisin mo.” Kaya pinaalis ni David si Abner, at umalis si Abner ng may kapayapaan.
22 Soon after that, Joab and some of David’s other soldiers returned [to Hebron] after raiding [one of their enemies’ villages], bringing with them a lot of things that they had captured. But Abner was not there at Hebron, because David had sent him safely home.
Pagkatapos dumating ang mga sundalo ni David at Joab galing sa pagsalakay at may dalang maraming mga bagay na kanilang nakuha sa panloloob. Pero si Abner ay hindi kasama ni David sa Hebron. Pinaalis siya ni David, at umalis si Abner ng may kapayapaan.
23 When Joab and the soldiers who were with him arrived, someone told him that Abner had come there and talked with the king, and that the king allowed to go home safely.
Nang si Joab at lahat ng hukbo na kasama niya ay dumating, sinabi nila kay Joab, “Si Abner anak na lalaki ni Ner ay nagpunta sa hari, at ang hari ay pinaalis na siya, at umalis si Abner ng may kapayapaan.”
24 So Joab went to the king and said, “Why have you done that? Listen to me! Abner [is your enemy, but] when he came to you, you allowed him [RHQ] to leave!
Pagkatapos pumunta si Joab sa hari at sinabi, “Ano ang ginawa mo? Tingnan mo, pumunta si Abner sa iyo! Bakit mo siya pinaalis, at siya ay nakaalis na?
25 Do you not know that he came to you to deceive you and to find out everything that you are doing, and all the places that you go to?”
Hindi mo ba alam na pumunta si Abner anak na lalaki ni Ner para lokohin ka, at alamin ang iyong mga plano at malaman ang lahat ng bagay na gagawin mo?”
26 After Joab left David, he sent some messengers to get Abner. They found him at Sirah Well, and brought him back to Hebron, but David did not know that they had done that.
Nang iniwan ni Joab si David, nagpadala siya ng mga mensahero kay Abner, at dinala siya pabalik mula sa balon ng Sira, pero hindi alam ito ni David.
27 So when Abner returned to Hebron, Joab met him at the city gate, and took him aside as though he wanted to speak with him privately. Then he stabbed Abner in the stomach [with his knife/sword]. In that way he murdered Abner because Abner had killed [MTY] Joab’s brother Asahel.
Nang makabalik si Abner sa Hebron, dinala siya ni Joab sa isang tabi sa gitna ng tarangkahan para kausapin siya ng tahimik. Doon sinaksak siya ni Joab sa tiyan at pinatay siya. Sa ganitong paraan, naipaghiganti ni Joab ang dugo ni Asahel na kaniyang kapatid na lalaki.
28 Later, after David heard what had happened, he said, “Yahweh knows that I and the people of my kingdom are not at all (responsible for/guilty of) murdering [MTY] Abner.
Nang marinig ni David ang tungkol dito, sinabi niya, “Ako at ang aking kaharian ay inosente sa harapan ni Yahweh magpakailanman hinggil sa dugo ni Abner anak na lalaki ni Ner.
29 I hope/desire that Joab and all his family will be punished [MTY] for doing that! I hope/desire that there will always be someone in his family who has sores, or someone who is a leper, or some man who is forced to do women’s work, or someone who is killed in a battle, or someone who does not have enough food to eat!”
Hayaan ang kasalanan sa pagkamatay ni Abner ay bumagsak sa ulo ni Joab at sa lahat ng sambahayan ng kaniyang ama. Nawa'y hindi ito maalis sa pamilya ni Joab isang tao na mayroong tumutulong sugat o sakit sa balat o isang pilay at dapat lumakad na mayroong isang tungkod o pinatay sa pamamagitan ng espada o umaalis na walang pagkain.
30 That is how Joab and his brother Abishai murdered Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel in the battle at Gibeon.
Kaya si Joab at Abisai ang kaniyang kapatid na lalaki ay pinatay si Abner, dahil pinatay niya sa labanan ang kanilang kapatid na lalaki na si Asahel sa Gibeon.
31 Then David said to Joab and to all Joab’s soldiers, “Tear your clothes and put on coarse cloth [to show that you are sad], and mourn for Abner!” And [at the funeral], King David walked behind [the men who were carrying] the coffin.
Sinabi ni David kay Joab at sa lahat ng tao na kasama niya, “Punitin ninyo ang inyong mga damit, maglagay ng telang magaspang, at manangis sa harapan ng bangkay ni Abner.” At si Haring David ay lumakad sa likod ng bangkay sa paghahatid sa libingan.
32 They buried Abner’s body at Hebron. And at the grave, the king cried loudly, and all the other people also cried.
Inilibing nila si Abner sa Hebron. Umiyak ang hari at nanangis ng malakas sa puntod ni Abner, at lahat din ng tao ay nag iyakan.
33 David sang this sad song to lament for Abner: “It is not right that [RHQ] Abner died like outlaws die!
Ang hari ay nanangis para kay Abner, at umawit. “Kailangan bang mamatay ni Abner gaya sa pagkamatay ng isang mangmang?
34 No one tied his hands or put chains on his feet, [like they do to criminals]. No, he was murdered by wicked men!”
Ang iyong mga kamay ay hindi nakatali. Ang iyong mga paa ay hindi nakakadena. habang ang isang lalaki ay bumabagsak sa harapan ng mga anak na lalaki ng walang hustisya, kaya ikaw ay bumagsak. “Muli ang lahat ng tao ay nagsiiyakan sa kaniya.
35 Then many [HYP] people came to David to tell him to eat some food before sunset, but David refused. He said, “I hope/desire that God will punish me severely [HYP] if I eat any food before the sun goes down!”
Lumapit ang lahat ng tao kay David para pakainin habang may araw pa, pero nangako si David, “Nawa'y gawin sa akin ng Diyos, at ng mas matindi pa, kung titikim ako ng tinapay o anumang bagay bago lumubog ang araw.”
36 All the people saw what David did, and they were pleased. Truly, everything that the king did pleased the people.
Kaya napansin ng lahat ng tao ang pighati ni David, at nalugod sila, gaya ng ginawa ng hari na nakalulugod sa kanila.
37 So all the people realized that the king had not wanted Abner to be killed.
Kaya naintindihan ng lahat ng tao at ng buong Israel nang araw na iyon na hindi ito nais ng hari na patayin si Abner anak na lalaki ni Ner.
38 The king said to his officials, “(Do you not realize that a leader and a great man has died today in Israel?/You should realize that a leader and a great man has died today in Israel.) [RHQ]
Sinabi ng hari sa kanyang mga lingkod, “Hindi ba ninyo alam na isang prinsipe at dakilang lalaki ang bumagsak sa araw na ito sa Israel?
39 Even though Yahweh appointed me to be the king, today I feel weak. These two sons of Zeruiah, [Joab and Abishai], are very violent; I cannot control them. So I hope/desire that Yahweh will punish them severely in return for this wicked thing that they have done!”
At ako ay mahina sa araw na ito, kahit na ako ang nahirang na hari. ang mga kalalakihang ito, ang anak na lalaki ni Zeruias, ay napakalupit para sa akin. Nawa'y si Yahweh ang magbayad sa masamang tao, sa pamamagitan ng pagpaparusa sa kaniya para sa kaniyang kasamaan, gaya ng nararapat sa kaniya.”
