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.

Then, after these things, Absalom obtained for himself chariots, and horsemen, and fifty men who went 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 rising up in the morning, Absalom was standing beside the entrance of the gate. And when there was any man who had a dispute that might go before the king’s judgment, Absalom would call him to him, and would say, “Which city are you from?” And responding, he would say, “I am your servant, from a certain tribe 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 Absalom would answer him: “Your words seem good and just to me. But there is no one appointed by the king to hear you.” And Absalom would say:

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!

“Who may appoint me judge over the land, so that all those who have a dispute might come to me, and I might judge justly.”

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.

Then too, when a man would draw near to him, so that he might greet him, he would extend his hand, and taking hold of him, he would kiss 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 he was doing this to all those of Israel arriving for judgment to be heard by the king. And he solicited 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.

Then, after forty years, Absalom said to king David: “I should go and pay my vows, which I have vowed to the Lord at Hebron.

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 made a vow, when he was in Geshur of Syria, saying: If the Lord will lead me back to Jerusalem, I will sacrifice to the Lord.”

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

And king David said to him, “Go in peace.” And he rose up and went away to Hebron.

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.

Then Absalom sent scouts into all the tribes of Israel, saying: “As soon as you hear the blare of the trumpet, say: ‘Absalom reigns in Hebron.’”

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.

Now having been called, two hundred men from Jerusalem went forth with Absalom, going in simplicity of heart and being entirely ignorant of the plan.

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.

Absalom also summoned Ahithophel the Gilonite, a counselor of David, from his city, Giloh. And when he was immolating victims, a very strong oath was sworn, and the people, hurrying together, joined with Absalom.

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

Then a messenger went to David, saying, “With their whole heart, all of Israel is following Absalom.”

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 his servants, who were with him in Jerusalem: “Rise up, let us flee! For otherwise there will be no escape for us from the face of Absalom. Hurry to depart, lest perhaps, upon arriving, he may seize us, and force ruin 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 servants of the king said to him, “Everything whatsoever that our lord the king will command, we your servants shall carry out willingly.”

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.

Therefore, the king departed, with his entire household on foot. And the king left behind ten women of the concubines to care for the house.

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

And having gone forth on foot, the king and all of Israel stood at a distance from the 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 were walking beside him. And the legions of the Cerethites and Phelethites, and all the Gittites, powerful fighters, six hundred men who had followed him from Gath on foot, were preceding 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.

Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite: “Why do you come with us? Return and live with the king. For you are a stranger, and you departed from your own 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.

You arrived yesterday. And today should you be compelled to go away with us? For I should go to the place where I am going. But you should return, and lead your own brothers back with you. And the Lord will show mercy and truth to you, because you have shown grace and faith.”

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 Ittai responded to the king, by saying, “As the Lord lives, and as my lord the king lives, in whatever place you will be, my lord the king, whether in death or in life, your servant will be there.”

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 David said to Ittai, “Come, and pass over.” And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all the men who were with him, and the rest of the multitude.

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 they all wept with a great voice, and all the people passed over. The king also passed over the torrent Kidron. And all the people advanced opposite the way which looks out toward the desert.

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.

Now Zadok the priest also went, and all the Levites went with him, carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God. And Abiathar went up, until all the people who had departed from the city had gone by.

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 Zadok: “Carry back the ark of God into the city. If I shall find grace in the sight of the Lord, he will lead me back. And he will show it to me in his tabernacle.

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 will say to me, ‘You are not pleasing,’ I am ready. Let him do whatever is good in his own sight.”

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 Zadok the priest: “O seer, return into the city in peace. And let your son Ahimaaz, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar, your two sons, be 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 will hide in the plains of the desert, until word from you may arrive to inform me.”

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

Therefore, Zadok and Abiathar carried back the ark of God into Jerusalem, and they remained 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.

But David ascended to the Mount of Olives, climbing and weeping, advancing with bare feet and with his head covered. Moreover, all the people who were with him ascended, weeping with their heads covered.

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.

Then it was reported to David that Ahithophel also had joined in swearing with Absalom. And David said, “O Lord, I beg you, to uncover the foolishness of the counsel of Ahithophel.”

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 when David had ascended to the summit of the mountain, where he was going to adore the Lord, behold Hushai the Archite met him, with his garment torn and his head covered with soil.

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 come with me, you will 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 return to the city, and you say to Absalom, ‘I am your servant, O king; just as I have been the servant of your father, so too will I be your servant,’ you will destroy the counsel of Ahithophel

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 you have with you the priests Zadok and Abiathar. And any word whatsoever that you will hear from the house of the king, you shall reveal it to Zadok 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.

Now with them are their two sons Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar. And you shall send to me by them every word that you will have heard.”

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

Therefore, Hushai, the friend of David, went into the city. And Absalom also entered into Jerusalem.
