Judges 2
1 The angel of Yahweh went up from Gilgal to Bokim, and said, “I brought you up from Egypt, and have brought you to the land I swore to give to your fathers. I said, 'I will never break my covenant with you.
At sumampa ang anghel ng Panginoon sa Bochim mula sa Gilgal. At kaniyang sinabi, Kayo'y pinaahon ko mula sa Egipto, at dinala ko kayo sa lupain na aking isinumpa sa inyong mga magulang; at sinabi ko, Kailan ma'y hindi ko sisirain ang aking tipan sa inyo:
2 You must make no covenant with those who live in this land. You must tear down their altars.' But you have not listened to my voice. What is this that you have done?
At huwag kayong makikipagtipan sa mga taga lupaing ito; inyong iwawasak ang kanilang mga dambana. Nguni't hindi ninyo dininig ang aking tinig: bakit ginawa ninyo ito?
3 So now I say, 'I will not drive the Canaanites out before you, but they will become thorns in your sides, and their gods will become a trap for you.'”
Kaya't aking sinabi rin, Hindi ko sila palalayasin sa harap ninyo; kundi sila'y magiging parang mga tinik sa inyong mga tagiliran, at ang kanilang mga dios ay magiging silo sa inyo.
4 When the angel of Yahweh spoke these words to all the people of Israel, the people shouted and wept.
At nangyari, pagkasalita ng anghel ng Panginoon ng mga salitang ito sa lahat ng mga anak ni Israel, na inilakas ng bayan ang kanilang tinig at umiyak.
5 They called that place Bokim. There they offered sacrifices to Yahweh.
At kanilang tinawag ang pangalan ng dakong yaon na Bochim; at sila'y naghain doon sa Panginoon.
6 Now when Joshua had sent the people on their way, the people of Israel each went to the place assigned, to take ownership of their land.
Nang mapayaon nga ni Josue ang bayan, pumaroon ang mga anak ni Israel, bawa't isa, sa kaniyang mana, upang ariin ang lupa.
7 The people served Yahweh during the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him, those who had seen all of Yahweh's great deeds he had done for Israel.
At naglingkod ang bayan sa Panginoon sa lahat ng mga araw ni Josue, at sa lahat ng mga araw ng mga matandang natirang nabuhay kay Josue, na nakakita ng mga dakilang gawa ng Panginoon, na kaniyang ginawa sa Israel.
8 Joshua son of Nun the servant of Yahweh, died at the age of 110 years old.
At si Josue na anak ni Nun, na lingkod ng Panginoon, ay namatay, na may isang daan at sangpung taon ang gulang.
9 They buried him within the border of the land he was assigned in Timnath Heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.
At kanilang inilibing siya sa hangganan ng kaniyang mana, sa Timnath-heres, sa lupaing maburol ng Ephraim, sa hilagaan ng bundok Gaas.
10 All that generation was also gathered to their fathers. Another generation grew up after them who did not know Yahweh or what he had done for Israel.
At ang buong lahing yaon ay nalakip din sa kanilang mga magulang; at doo'y may ibang lahing bumangon pagkamatay nila, na hindi nakilala ang Panginoon, ni ang mga gawa na kaniyang ginawa sa Israel.
11 The people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh and they served the Baals.
At ginawa ng mga anak ni Israel ang masama sa paningin ng Panginoon, at naglingkod sa mga Baal:
12 They broke away from Yahweh, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt. They went after other gods, the very gods of the peoples who were around them, and they bowed down to them. They provoked Yahweh to anger because
At kanilang pinabayaan ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng kanilang mga magulang, na naglabas sa kanila sa lupain ng Egipto, at sumunod sa ibang mga dios, sa mga dios ng mga bayan na nasa palibot nila, at sila'y yumukod sa mga yaon: at kanilang minungkahi ang Panginoon sa galit.
13 they broke away from Yahweh and worshiped Baal and the Ashtoreths.
At kanilang pinabayaan ang Panginoon, at naglingkod kay Baal at kay Astaroth.
14 The anger of Yahweh burned against Israel, and he gave them to the raiders who stole their possessions from them. He sold them as slaves who were held by the strength of their enemies around them, so they could no longer defend themselves against their enemies.
At ang galit ng Panginoon ay nagalab laban sa Israel, at kaniyang ibinigay sila sa kamay ng mga mangloloob na lumoob sa kanila; at kaniyang ipinagbili sila sa mga kamay ng kanilang mga kaaway sa palibot, na anopa't sila'y hindi makatayong maluwat sa harap ng kanilang mga kaaway.
15 Wherever Israel went out to fight, Yahweh's hand was against them to defeat them, just as he had sworn to them and they were in terrible distress.
Saan man sila yumaon, ang kamay ng Panginoon ay laban sa kanila sa ikasasama nila, gaya ng sinalita ng Panginoon, at gaya ng isinumpa sa kanila ng Panginoon: sila'y nagipit na mainam.
16 Then Yahweh raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those who were stealing their possessions.
At nagbangon ang Panginoon ng mga hukom, na nagligtas sa kanila sa kamay niyaong mga lumoloob sa kanila.
17 Yet they would not listen to their judges. They were unfaithful to Yahweh and gave themselves like prostitutes to other gods and worshiped them. They soon turned aside from the way their fathers had lived—those who had obeyed the commandments of Yahweh—but they themselves did not do so.
At gayon ma'y hindi nila dininig ang kanilang mga hukom: sapagka't sila'y sumamba sa ibang mga dios, at kanilang niyukuran ang mga yaon: sila'y nagpakaligaw na madali sa daan na nilakaran ng kanilang mga magulang, na sumunod ng mga utos ng Panginoon; nguni't hindi sila gumawa ng gayon.
18 When Yahweh raised up judges for them, Yahweh helped the judges and rescued them from the hand of their enemies all the days the judge lived. Yahweh had pity on them as they groaned because of those who oppressed them and afflicted them.
At nang ipagbangon sila ng Panginoon ng mga hukom, ang Panginoon ay suma hukom, at iniligtas sila sa kamay ng kanilang mga kaaway sa lahat ng mga araw ng hukom: sapagka't nagsisi ang Panginoon dahil sa kanilang daing, dahil doon sa mga pumighati sa kanila at nagpakalupit sa kanila.
19 But when the judge died, they would turn away and do things that were even more corrupt than their fathers had done. They would go after other gods to serve them and worship them. They refused to give up any of their evil practices or their stubborn ways.
Nguni't nangyari pagkamatay ng hukom, na sila'y tumalikod at lalong sumama kay sa kanilang mga magulang sa pagsunod sa ibang mga dios, upang maglingkod sa kanila, at yumukod sa kanila; sila'y hindi naglikat sa kanilang mga gawa, ni sa kanilang tampalasang lakad.
20 The anger of Yahweh burned against Israel; he said, “Because this nation has broken the terms of my covenant that I had set in place for their fathers—because they have not listened to my voice—
At ang galit ng Panginoon ay nagalab laban sa Israel; at kaniyang sinabi, Sapagka't sinalangsang ng bansang ito ang aking tipan na aking iniutos sa kanilang mga magulang, at hindi dininig ang aking tinig;
21 I will not, from now on, drive out from before them any of the nations that Joshua left when he died.
Hindi ko na naman palalayasin pa sa harap nila ang sinoman ng mga bansang iniwan ni Josue nang siya'y mamatay;
22 I will do this so that I may test Israel, whether or not they will keep the way of Yahweh and walk in it, as their fathers kept it.”
Upang sa pamamagitan nila'y aking masubok ang Israel, kung kanilang susundin o hindi ang daan ng Panginoon upang lakaran nila, na gaya ng inilakad ng kanilang mga magulang.
23 That is why Yahweh left those nations and did not drive them out quickly and give them into the hand of Joshua.
Kaya't iniwan ng Panginoon ang mga bansang yaon, na hindi niya pinalayas silang biglaan; ni ibinigay sila sa kamay ni Josue.
