2 Samuel 15

1 At nangyari, pagkatapos nito, na naghanda si Absalom ng isang karo at mga kabayo, at limang pung lalaking tatakbo sa unahan niya.

And it came to pass after this that Abessalom prepared for himself chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.

2 At bumangong maaga si Absalom, at tumayo sa tabi ng daan sa pintuang-bayan; at nangyari, na pagka ang sinomang tao ay mayroong usap na ilalapit sa hari upang hatulan, na tinatawag nga ni Absalom, at sinabi, Taga saang bayan ka? At kaniyang sinabi, Ang iyong lingkod ay isa sa mga lipi ng Israel.

And Abessalom rose early, and stood by the side of the way of the gate: and it came to pass that every man who had a cause, came to the king for judgement, and Abessalom cried to him, and said to him, Of what city are you? And he said, Your servant [is] of one of the tribes of Israel.

3 At sinabi ni Absalom sa kaniya, Tingnan mo, ang iyong usap ay mabuti at matuwid: nguni't walang kinatawan ang hari na duminig sa iyong usap.

And Abessalom said to him, See, your affairs [are] right and clear, yet you have no one [appointed] of the king to hear you.

4 Sinabi ni Absalom bukod dito: Oh maging hukom sana ako sa lupain, upang ang bawa't tao na may anomang usap, o anomang bagay, ay pumarito sa akin at siya'y aking magawan ng katuwiran!

And Abessalom said, O that one would make me a judge in the land; then every man who had a dispute or a cause would come to me, and I would judge him!

5 At nangyayari na pagka ang sinoman ay lumalapit upang magbigay galang sa kaniya, na kaniyang iniuunat ang kaniyang kamay at hinahawakan siya at hinahalikan siya.

And it came to pass when a man came near to do him obeisance, that he stretched out his hand, and took hold of him, and kissed him.

6 At ganitong paraan ang ginagawa ni Absalom sa buong Israel na naparoroon sa hari sa pagpapahatol: sa gayo'y ginanyak ni Absalom ang mga kalooban ng mga tao ng Israel.

And Abessalom did after this manner to all Israel that came to the king for judgement; and Abessalom gained the hearts of the men of Israel.

7 At nangyari, sa katapusan ng apat na pung taon, na sinasabi ni Absalom sa hari, Isinasamo ko sa iyo na payaunin mo ako at ako'y tumupad ng aking panata na aking ipinanata sa Panginoon, sa Hebron.

And it came to pass after forty years, that Abessalom said to his father, I will go now, and pay my vows, which I vowed to the Lord in Chebron.

8 Sapagka't ang iyong lingkod ay nanata ng isang panata samantalang ako'y tumatahan sa Gesur sa Siria, na nagsabi, Kung tunay na dadalhin uli ako ng Panginoon sa Jerusalem, maglilingkod nga ako sa Panginoon.

For your servant vowed a vow when I lived at Gedsur in Syria, saying, If the Lord should indeed restore me to Jerusalem, then will I serve the Lord.

9 At sinabi ng hari sa kaniya, Yumaon kang payapa. Sa gayo'y bumangon siya, at naparoon sa Hebron.

And the king said to him, Go in peace. And he arose and went to Chebron.

10 Nguni't si Absalom ay nagsugo ng mga tiktik sa lahat ng mga lipi ng Israel, na sinasabi, Pagkarinig ninyo ng tunog ng pakakak, inyo ngang sasabihin, Si Absalom ay hari sa Hebron.

And Abessalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, When you hear the sound of the trumpet, then shall you say, Abessalom is become king in Chebron.

11 At lumabas sa Jerusalem na kasama ni Absalom ay dalawang daang lalake na mga inanyayahan, at nangaparoon silang walang malay; at wala silang nalalamang anoman.

And there went with Abessalom two hundred chosen men from Jerusalem; and they went in their simplicity, and knew not anything.

12 At pinagsuguan ni Absalom si Achitophel na Gilonita, na kasangguni ni David, mula sa kaniyang bayan, mula sa Gilo samantalang siya'y naghahandog ng mga hain. At mahigpit ang pagbabanta: sapagka't ang bayan na kasama ni Absalom ay dumadami ng dumadami.

And Abessalom sent to Achitophel the Theconite, the counsellor of David, from his city, from Gola, where he was sacrificing: and there was a strong conspiracy; and the people with Abessalom were increasingly numerous.

13 At naparoon ang isang sugo kay David, na nagsasabi, Ang mga puso ng mga lalake ng Israel ay sumusunod kay Absalom.

And there came a messenger to David, saying, the heart of the men of Israel is gone after Abessalom.

14 At sinabi ni David sa lahat ng kaniyang mga lingkod na nasa kaniya sa Jerusalem, magsibangon kayo, at tayo'y magsitakas; sapagka't liban na rito ay walang makatatanan sa atin kay Absalom: mangagmadali kayo ng pagtakas, baka sa pagmamadali ay abutan tayo, at dalhan tayo ng kasamaan, at sugatan ang bayan ng talim ng tabak.

And David said to all his servants who were with him in Jerusalem, Rise, and let us flee, for we have no refuge from Abessalom: make haste and go, lest he overtake us speedily, and bring evil upon us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.

15 At sinabi ng mga lingkod ng hari sa hari, Narito, ang iyong mga lingkod ay handa na gumawa ng anoman na pipiliin ng aming panginoon na hari.

And the king's servants said to the king, In all things which our lord the king chooses, behold [we are] your servants.

16 At lumabas ang hari at ang buong sangbahayan niya na sumunod sa kaniya. At nagiwan ang hari ng sangpung babae, na mga kinakasama niya, upang magingat ng bahay.

And the king and all his house went out on foot: and the king left ten women of his concubines to keep the house.

17 At lumabas ang hari at ang buong bayan na kasunod niya: at sila'y nagpahinga sa Beth-merac.

And the king and all his servants went out on foot; and abode in a distant house.

18 At ang lahat niyang mga lingkod ay nagsidaan sa siping niya; at ang lahat na Ceretheo, at ang lahat na Peletheo, at ang lahat ng mga Getheo, na anim na raang lalake na nagsisunod sa kaniya mula sa Gath, na nangagpapauna sa hari.

And all his servants passed on by his side, and every Chelethite, and every Phelethite, and they stood by the olive tree in the wilderness: and all the people marched near him, and all his court, and all the men of might, and all the men of war, six hundred: and they were present at his side: and every Chelethite, and every Phelethite, and all the six hundred Gittites that came on foot out of Geth, and they went on before the king.

19 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ng hari kay Ittai na Getheo, Bakit pati ikaw ay sumasama sa amin? bumalik ka at tumahan kang kasama ng hari: sapagka't ikaw ay taga ibang lupa at tapon pa: bumalik ka sa iyong sariling dako.

And the king said to Ethi, the Gittite, Why do you also go with us? return, and dwell with the king, for you are a stranger, and you has come forth as a sojourner out of your place.

20 Yamang kahapon ka lamang dumating ay papagpapanhik manaugin na ba kita sa araw na ito na kasama namin, dangang ako'y yumayaon kung saan maaari? bumalik ka, at ibalik mo ang iyong mga kapatid; kaawaan at katotohanan nawa ang sumaiyo.

Whereas you came yesterday, shall I today cause you to travel with us, and shall you [thus] change your place? you did come forth yesterday, and today shall I set you in motion to go along with us? I indeed will go wherever I may go: return then, and cause your brethren to return with you, and may the Lord deal mercifully and truly with you.

21 At sumagot si Ittai sa hari, at nagsabi, Buhay ang Panginoon, at buhay ang aking panginoon na hari, tunay na kung saan dumoon ang aking panginoon na hari, maging sa kamatayan o sa kabuhayan ay doroon naman ang iyong lingkod.

And Ethi answered the king and said, [As] the Lord lives and as my lord the king lives, in the place wherever my lord shall be, whether it be for death or life, there shall your servant be.

22 At sinabi ni David kay Ittai, Ikaw ay yumaon at magpauna. At si Ittai na Getheo ay nagpauna, at ang lahat niyang lalake, at ang lahat na bata na kasama niya.

And the king said to Ethi, Come and pass over with me. So Ethi the Gittite and the king passed over, and all his servants, and all the multitude with him.

23 At ang buong lupain ay umiyak ng malakas, at ang buong bayan ay tumawid: ang hari man ay tumawid din sa batis ng Cedron, at ang buong bayan ay tumawid, sa daan ng ilang.

And all the country wept with a loud voice. And all the people passed by over the brook of Kedron; and the king crossed the brook Kedron: and all the people and the king passed on towards the way of the wilderness.

24 At, narito, pati si Sadoc at ang lahat na Levita na kasama niya, na may dala ng kaban ng tipan ng Dios; at kanilang inilapag ang kaban ng Dios, at sumampa si Abiathar, hanggang sa ang buong bayan ay nakalabas sa bayan.

And behold also Sadoc, and all the Levites were with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord from Baethar: and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had passed out of the city.

25 At sinabi ng hari kay Sadoc, Ibalik mo ang kaban ng Dios sa bayan: kung ako'y makakasumpong ng biyaya sa mga mata ng Panginoon, kaniyang ibabalik ako at ipakikita sa akin ang kaban at gayon din ang kaniyang tahanan.

And the king said to Sadoc, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I should find favour in the eyes of the Lord, then will he bring me back, and he will show me it and its beauty.

26 Nguni't kung sabihin niyang ganito, Hindi kita kinalulugdan; narito, ako'y nandito, gawin niya; sa akin ang inaakala niyang mabuti.

But if he should say thus, I have no pleasure in you; behold, [here] I am, let him do to me according to that which is good in his eyes.

27 Sinabi rin ng hari kay Sadoc na saserdote, Hindi ka ba tagakita? bumalik kang payapa sa bayan, at ang iyong dalawang anak na kasama ninyo, si Ahimaas na iyong anak, at si Jonathan na anak ni Abiathar.

And the king said to Sadoc the priest, Behold, you shall return to the city in peace, and Achimaas your son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar, your two sons with you.

28 Tingnan mo, ako'y maghihintay sa mga tawiran sa ilang, hanggang sa may dumating na salita na mula sa inyo na magpatotoo sa akin.

Behold, I continue in arms in Araboth of the desert, until there come tidings from you to report to me.

29 Dinala nga uli sa Jerusalem ni Sadoc at ni Abiathar ang kaban ng Dios: at sila'y nagsitahan doon.

So Sadoc and Abiathar brought back the ark of the Lord to Jerusalem, and it continued there.

30 At umahon si David sa ahunan sa bundok ng mga Olibo, at umiiyak habang siya'y umaahon; at ang kaniyang ulo ay may takip, at lumalakad siya na walang suot ang paa; at ang buong bayan na kasama niya ay may takip ang ulo ng bawa't isa, at sila'y nagsisiahon, na nagsisiiyak habang sila'y nagsisiahon.

And David went up by the ascent of [the mount of] Olives, ascending and weeping, and had his head covered, and went barefooted: and all the people that were with him covered [every] man his head; and they went up, ascending and weeping.

31 At isinaysay ng isa kay David na sinasabi, Si Achitophel ay nasa nanganghihimagsik na kasama ni Absalom. At sinabi ni David, Oh Panginoon, isinasamo ko sa iyo, na iyong gawing kamangmangan ang payo ni Achitophel.

And it was reported to David, saying, Achitophel also [is] amongst the conspirators with Abessalom. And David said, O Lord my God, disconcert, I pray you, the counsel of Achitophel.

32 At nangyari na nang si David ay dumating sa taluktok ng bundok, na doon sinasamba ang Dios, narito, si Husai na Arachita ay sumalubong sa kaniya, na ang kaniyang suot ay hapak, at may lupa sa kaniyang ulo:

And David came as far as Ros, where he worshipped God: and behold, Chusi the chief friend of David came out to meet him, having tore his garment, and earth [was] upon his head.

33 At sinabi ni David sa kaniya, Kung ikaw ay magpatuloy na kasama ko ay magiging isang pasan ka nga sa akin.

And David said to him, If you should go over with me, then will you be a burden to me;

34 Nguni't kung ikaw ay bumalik sa bayan, at sabihin mo kay Absalom, Ako'y magiging iyong lingkod, Oh hari; kung paanong ako'y naging lingkod ng iyong ama nang panahong nakaraan, ay gayon magiging lingkod mo ako ngayon: kung magkagayo'y iyo ngang masasansala ang payo ni Achitophel sa ikabubuti ko.

but if you shall return to the city, and shall say to Abessalom, Your brethren are passed over, and the king your father is passed over after me: and now I am your servant, O king, suffer me to live: at one time even of late I was the servant of your father, and now I [am] your humble servant—so shall you disconcert for me, the counsel of Achitophel.

35 At hindi ba kasama mo roon si Sadoc at si Abiathar na mga saserdote? kaya't mangyayari, na anomang bagay ang iyong marinig sa sangbahayan ng hari, iyong sasaysayin kay Sadoc at kay Abiathar na mga saserdote.

And, behold, [there are] there with you Sadoc and Abiathar the priests; and it shall be that every word that you shall hear of the house of the king, you shall report it to Sadoc and Abiathar the priests.

36 Narito nasa kanila roon ang kanilang dalawang anak, si Ahimaas na anak ni Sadoc, at si Jonathan na anak ni Abiathar; at sa pamamagitan nila ay inyong maipadadala sa akin ang bawa't bagay na inyong maririnig.

Behold, [there are] there with them their two sons, Achimaas the son of Sadoc, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar; and by them you shall report to me every word which you shall hear.

37 Sa gayo'y si Husai na kaibigan ni David ay pumasok sa bayan; at si Absalom ay pumasok sa Jerusalem.

So Chusi the friend of David went into the city, and Abessalom was lately gone into Jerusalem.
