1 Mga Hari 14
1 Nang panahong yaon si Abias na anak ni Jeroboam ay nagkasakit.
At that time, Jeroboam’s son Abijah became very sick.
2 At sinabi ni Jeroboam sa kaniyang asawa, Bumangon ka, isinasamo ko sa iyo at magpakunwari kang iba upang huwag kang makilala na asawa ni Jeroboam; at pumaroon ka sa Silo; narito, naroon si Ahias na propeta na nagsalita tungkol sa akin, na ako'y magiging hari sa bayang ito.
Jeroboam said to his wife, “Disguise yourself, in order that no one will recognize that you are my wife. Then go to Shiloh [city], where the prophet Ahijah [lives]. He is the one who predicted/prophesied that I would become the king of Israel.
3 At magdala ka ng sangpung tinapay, at mga munting tinapay, at isang bangang pulot, at paroon ka sa kaniya: kaniyang sasaysayin sa iyo kung ano ang mangyayari sa bata.
Take with you ten [loaves of] bread and some small flat cakes, and a jar of honey, [and give them] to him. [Tell him about] our son, [and] he will tell you what will happen to him.”
4 At ginawang gayon ng asawa ni Jeroboam at bumangon, at naparoon sa Silo, at naparoon sa bahay ni Ahias. Si Ahias nga ay di na makakita; sapagka't ang kaniyang mga mata'y malabo na, dahil sa kaniyang gulang.
So his wife went to Shiloh, to Ahijah’s house. Ahijah was unable to see, because he was very old and had become blind.
5 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Ahias, Narito, ang asawa ni Jeroboam ay naparirito na tinatanong ka tungkol sa kaniyang anak; sapagka't siya'y may sakit: ganito't ganito ang iyong sasabihin sa kaniya: sapagka't mangyayari, pagka siya'y pumasok, na siya'y magpapakunwari na ibang babae.
But [before she got there, ] Yahweh told Ahijah that Jeroboam’s wife was coming to inquire about their son, who was very sick. And Yahweh told Ahijah what he should tell her. When she came to him, she pretended to be another woman.
6 At nagkagayon, nang marinig ni Ahias ang ingay ng kaniyang mga paa, pagpasok niya sa pintuan, na sinabi niya, Pumasok ka, ikaw, na asawa ni Jeroboam; bakit ka nagpapakunwaring iba? Sapagka't ako'y sinugo sa iyo na may masamang balita.
But when Ahijah heard her footsteps as she entered the doorway, he said to her, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam! (Why do you pretend that you are someone else?/It will not help you to pretend that you are someone else.) [RHQ] [Yahweh] has given me bad news to tell you.
7 Ikaw ay yumaon na saysayin mo kay Jeroboam, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel, Yamang kita'y itinaas sa gitna ng bayan, at ginawa kitang pangulo sa aking bayang Israel,
Go and tell Jeroboam that this is what Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says to you: ‘I chose you from among the common people and enabled you to become the king of my Israeli people.
8 At inagaw ang kaharian mula sa sangbahayan ni David, at ibinigay sa iyo: at gayon ma'y ikaw ay hindi naging gaya ng lingkod kong si David, na nagingat ng aking mga utos, at sumunod sa akin ng kaniyang buong puso, upang gawin ang matuwid lamang sa harap ng aking mga mata;
I took [most of] the kingdom of Israel away from David’s descendants and gave it to you. But you have not been like David, who served me [very well]. He obeyed all my commandments very sincerely, doing only things that I considered to be right.
9 Kundi ikaw ay gumawa ng masama na higit kay sa lahat ng nauna sa iyo, at ikaw ay yumaon, at gumawa ka sa ganang iyo ng mga ibang dios, at mga larawang binubo upang mungkahiin mo ako sa galit, at inihagis mo ako sa iyong likuran;
But you have done more evil things/deeds than all those [who ruled] before you. You have rejected me, and you have caused me to become very angry by making metal images of other gods so that you [and others] could worship them.
10 Kaya't, narito ako'y magdadala ng kasamaan sa sangbahayan ni Jeroboam, at aking ihihiwalay kay Jeroboam ang bawa't lalake ang nakukulong, at ang naiwan sa kaluwangan sa Israel, at aking lubos na papalisin ang sangbahayan ni Jeroboam, kung paanong pinapalis ng isang tao ang dumi, hanggang sa mapaalis.
‘So, I am going to cause terrible things to happen to your family. I will cause all your male descendants to die, young ones and old ones. I will completely get rid of your family [MTY]. I will get rid of your family [MTY] just like a man completely burns dung [to cook his food].
11 Ang mamatay kay Jeroboam sa bayan ay kakanin ng mga aso; at ang mamatay sa parang ay kakanin ng mga ibon sa himpapawid: sapagka't sinalita ng Panginoon.
[The corpses of] any members of your family who die in cities will be eaten by dogs. And [the corpses of] any members of your family who die in the open fields will be eaten by vultures. [This will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said [that it will happen].’
12 Tumindig ka nga, umuwi ka sa iyong bahay: pagpasok ng iyong mga paa sa bayan ay mamamatay ang bata.
So go back home. And as soon as you enter the city, your son will die.
13 At tatangisan siya ng buong Israel, at ililibing siya; sapagka't siya lamang ang kay Jeroboam na darating sa libingan: sapagka't siya'y kinasumpungan sa sangbahayan ni Jeroboam, ng bagay na mabuti sa Panginoon, sa Dios ng Israel.
All the Israeli people will mourn for him and bury him. He is the only one of Jeroboam’s family who will be buried [properly], because he is the only one of Jeroboam’s family with whom Yahweh is pleased.
14 Bukod dito'y magtitindig ang Panginoon ng isang hari sa Israel, na siyang maghihiwalay ng sangbahayan ni Jeroboam sa araw na yaon; nguni't ano? ngayon din.
Furthermore, Yahweh will appoint for himself a king to rule over Israel who will get rid of Jeroboam’s descendants. And that [will start to happen] today!
15 Sapagka't sasaktan ng Panginoon ang Israel ng gaya ng isang tambo na gumagalaw sa tubig; at kaniyang bubunutin ang Israel dito sa mabuting lupa na ibinigay sa kanilang mga magulang, at pangangalatin sila sa dako roon ng ilog; dahil sa kanilang ginawa ang kanilang mga Asera, na minungkahi ang Panginoon sa galit.
Yahweh will punish the people of Israel; he will shake them like [the wind] shakes the reeds [that grow in] a stream. He will expel the Israeli people from this good land that he gave to our ancestors. He will scatter them into countries east of [the Euphrates] River, because they have caused him to become very angry by [worshiping statues of] the goddess Asherah.
16 At kaniyang pababayaan ang Israel dahil sa mga kasalanan ni Jeroboam, na kaniyang ipinagkasala, at ipinapagkasala sa Israel.
Yahweh will abandon the Israeli people because of the sins that Jeroboam committed, sins which led the Israeli people to commit them.”
17 At ang asawa ni Jeroboam ay tumindig, at yumaon, at naparoon sa Thirsa: at pagpasok niya sa pasukan ng bahay, ang bata'y namatay.
Jeroboam’s wife returned home to Tirzah [city, the new capital of Israel]. And just as she entered her house, her son died.
18 At inilibing siya ng buong Israel, at tinangisan siya; ayon sa salita ng Panginoon na kaniyang sinalita sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang lingkod na si Ahias na propeta.
All the Israeli people mourned for him and buried him, which is what Yahweh had told his servant, the prophet Ahijah, would happen.
19 At ang iba sa mga gawa ni Jeroboam kung paanong siya'y nakidigma, at kung paanong siya'y naghari, narito, nangasusulat sa aklat ng mga alaala sa mga hari sa Israel.
Everything else that Jeroboam did, and the record of wars that his [army] fought, and how he ruled, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
20 At ang mga araw na ipinaghari ni Jeroboam ay dalawang pu't dalawang taon: at siya'y natulog na kasama ng kaniyang mga magulang, at si Nadab na kaniyang anak ay naghari na kahalili niya.
Jeroboam ruled for 22 years; then he died [EUP] and his son Nadab became king.
21 At si Roboam na anak ni Salomon ay naghari sa Juda. Si Roboam ay apat na pu't isang taon nang siya'y magpasimulang maghari, at siya'y naghari na labing pitong taon sa Jerusalem, na bayan na pinili ng Panginoon sa lahat ng mga lipi ng Israel, upang ilagay ang kaniyang pangalan doon: at ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina ay Naama na Ammonita.
Solomon’s son Rehoboam ruled Judah. He was 41 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled for 17 years. He ruled in Jerusalem, which is the city that Yahweh chose out of all the tribes of Israel to be the place where he should be worshiped [MTY]. Rehoboam’s mother’s name was Naamah; she was from the Ammon people-group.
22 At gumawa ang Juda ng masama sa paningin ng Panginoon, at kanilang minungkahi siya sa paninibugho sa pamamagitan ng kanilang mga kasalanan na kanilang nagawa, na higit kay sa lahat na ginawa ng kanilang mga magulang,
The people of Judah did things that Yahweh considered to be evil. They caused him to become angry because they committed more sins than their ancestors had committed: They worshiped many other gods instead of worshiping only Yahweh.
23 Sapagka't sila'y nagsipagtayo naman para sa kanila ng mga mataas na dako, at ng mga haligi, at ng mga Asera, sa bawa't mataas na burol, at sa ilalim ng bawa't sariwang punong kahoy;
They built places to worship those gods; on high hills, and under big trees they set up [stone] pillars to worship the goddess Asherah.
24 At nagkaroon din naman ng mga sodomita ang lupain: sila'y nagsigawa ng ayon sa lahat na karumaldumal ng mga bansa na pinalayas ng Panginoon sa harap ng mga anak ng Israel.
Also, there were male prostitutes at these places of worship. The Israeli people did the same disgraceful things that had been done by the people whom Yahweh had expelled while the Israelis were advancing through the land.
25 At nangyari, nang ikalimang taon ng haring Roboam, na si Sisac na hari sa Egipto ay umahon laban sa Jerusalem:
When Rehoboam had been ruling for almost five years, King Shishak of Egypt came [with his army] to attack Jerusalem.
26 At kaniyang dinala ang mga kayamanan ng bahay ng Panginoon, at ang mga kayamanan ng bahay ng hari; kaniya ngang dinalang lahat: at kaniyang dinala ang lahat na kalasag na ginto na ginawa ni Salomon.
They took away all the valuable things in the temple and in the king’s palace, including the gold shields that Solomon’s [workers] had made.
27 At ang haring Roboam ay gumawa ng mga kalasag na tanso na kahalili ng mga yaon, at ipinagkatiwala sa mga kamay ng mga punong kawal na bantay, na nagiingat ng pintuan ng bahay ng hari.
King Rehoboam’s [workers] made bronze shields to replace them and entrusted them to officers who guarded the entrance to the king’s palace.
28 At nangyari, na pagka nanasok ang hari sa bahay ng Panginoon, ay dinadala ng bantay, at ibinabalik sa silid ng bantay.
Every time that the king went into the temple, those guards carried those shields; and [when he left the temple] they returned the shields to the storeroom.
29 Ang iba nga sa mga gawa ni Roboam at ang lahat na bagay na kaniyang ginawa, hindi ba nasusulat sa aklat ng mga alaala sa mga hari sa Juda?
Everything else that Rehoboam did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
30 At nagkaroong palagi ng pagdidigmaan si Roboam at si Jeroboam.
There were wars continually between [the armies of] Rehoboam and Jeroboam.
31 At si Roboam ay natulog na kasama ng kaniyang mga magulang, at nalibing na kasama ng kaniyang mga magulang sa bayan ni David: at ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina ay Naama na Ammonita. At si Abiam na kaniyang anak ay naghari na kahalili niya.
Then Rehoboam died [EUP], and he was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors were buried. Then his son Abijah became the king.
