2 Samuel 16
1 At nang si David ay makaraan sa dako pa noon ng kaunti ng taluktok ng bundok, narito, si Siba na lingkod ni Mephiboseth ay sumalubong sa kaniya, na may handang isang tuwang na asno, at sa ibabaw ng mga yaon ay dalawang daang tinapay, at isang daang kumpol na pasas, at isang daang bunga sa taginit, at isang sisidlang balat ng alak.
When David had gone a short distance over the summit of the hill, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him with a couple of saddled donkeys; on them were two hundred loaves of bread, one hundred clusters of raisins, and one hundred bunches of figs, and a skin of wine.
2 At sinabi ng hari kay Siba, Ano ang iyong ibig sabihin sa mga ito? At sinabi ni Siba, Ang mga asno ay upang sakyan ng sangbahayan ng hari; at ang tinapay at ang bunga sa taginit ay upang mangakain ng mga binata; at ang alak ay upang mainom ng nangapapagod sa ilang.
The king said to Ziba, “Why did you bring these things?” Ziba replied, “The donkeys are for the king's household to ride on, the bread and fig cakes are for your men to eat, and the wine is for anyone who is faint in the wilderness to drink.”
3 At sinabi ng hari, At nasaan ang anak ng iyong panginoon? At sinabi ni Siba sa hari, Narito, siya'y tumatahan sa Jerusalem; sapagka't kaniyang sinabi, Ngayo'y ibabalik sa akin ang sangbahayan ng Israel, ang kaharian ng aking ama.
The king said, “Then where is your master's grandson?” Ziba replied to the king, “Look, he has stayed behind in Jerusalem, for he said, 'Today the house of Israel will restore my father's kingdom to me.'”
4 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ng hari kay Siba, Narito, iyo ang buong nauukol kay Mephiboseth. At sinabi ni Siba, Ako'y yumuyukod; makasumpong nawa ako ng biyaya sa paningin mo, panginoon ko, Oh hari.
Then the king said to Ziba, “Look, all that belonged to Mephibosheth now belongs to you.” Ziba answered, “I bow in humility to you, my master, king. Let me find favor in your eyes.”
5 At nang dumarating ang hari sa Bahurim, narito, lumalabas na mula roo'y isang lalake sa angkan ng sangbahayan ni Saul, na ang pangala'y Semei, na anak ni Gera: siya'y lumalabas, at manunumpa habang siya'y lumalabas.
When King David approached Bahurim, there came out from there a man from the clan of Saul, whose name was Shimei son of Gera. He came out cursing as he walked.
6 At kaniyang hinagis ng mga bato si David, at ang lahat ng lingkod ng haring si David: at ang buong bayan, at ang lahat na malalakas na lalake ay nasa kaniyang kanan, at sa kaniyang kaliwa.
He threw stones at David and at all of the king's officials, in spite of the army and bodyguards who were on the king's right and left.
7 At ganito ang sinabi ni Semei nang siya'y nanunumpa, Lumayas ka, lumayas ka, ikaw na lalaking mabagsik, at hamak na lalake:
Shimei called out in cursing, “Go away, get out of here, you villain, you man of blood!
8 Ibinalik sa iyo ng Panginoon ang buong dugo ng sangbahayan ni Saul na siya mong hinalinhan ng pagkahari; at ibinigay ng Panginoon ang kaharian sa kamay ni Absalom na iyong anak: at, narito, ikaw ay nasa iyong sariling kasamaan, sapagka't ikaw ay lalaking mabagsik.
Yahweh has repaid all of you for the blood you shed within the family of Saul, in whose place you have reigned. Yahweh has given the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son. You have come to ruin because you are a man of blood.”
9 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Abisai na anak ni Sarvia sa hari, Bakit susumpain nitong asong patay ang aking panginoon na hari? payaunin mo ako, isinasamo ko sa iyo, at pugutin ang kaniyang ulo.
Then Abishai son of Zeruiah, said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my master the king? Please let me go over and take off his head.”
10 At sinabi ng hari, Anong ipakikialam ko sa inyo, kayong mga anak ni Sarvia? Sapagka't siya'y nanunumpa, at sapagka't sinabi ng Panginoon sa kaniya, Sumpain mo si David, sino nga ang magsasabi, Bakit ka gumawa ng ganyan?
But the king said, “What have I to do with you, sons of Zeruiah? Perhaps he is cursing me because Yahweh has said to him, 'Curse David.' Who then could say to him, 'Why are you cursing the king?'”
11 At sinabi ni David kay Abisai, at sa lahat niyang mga lingkod, Narito, ang anak ko, na lumabas sa aking tiyan, siyang humahanap ng aking buhay: gaano pa nga kaya ang gagawin ngayon ng Benjamitang ito? bayaan ninyo siya at manumpa siya: sapagka't iniutos ng Panginoon sa kaniya.
So David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Look, my son, who was born from my body, wants to take my life. How much more may this Benjamite now desire my ruin? Leave him alone and let him curse, for Yahweh has commanded him to do it.
12 Marahil ay titingnan ng Panginoon ang kasamaang ginagawa sa akin, at gagawan ako ng mabuti ng Panginoon sa sumpa niya sa akin sa araw na ito.
Perhaps Yahweh will look at the misery unleashed on me, and repay me with good for his cursing me today.”
13 Sa gayo'y nagpatuloy ng lakad si David at ang kaniyang mga lalake: at si Semei ay yumaon sa tagiliran ng bundok sa tapat niya, at sumusumpa habang siya'y yumayaon, at hinahagis ng bato siya, at nananaboy ng alabok.
So David and his men traveled on the road, while Shimei went beside him up on the hillside, cursing and throwing dust and stones at him as he went.
14 At ang hari at ang buong bayan na nasa kaniya ay nagsidating na pagod; at siya'y nagpahinga roon.
Then the king and all the people who were with him became weary, and he rested when they stopped for the night.
15 At si Absalom at ang buong bayan, na mga lalake ng Israel, ay nagsidating sa Jerusalem at si Achitophel na kasama niya.
As for Absalom and all the men of Israel who were with him, they came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him.
16 At nangyari, nang si Husai na Arachita, na kaibigan ni David, ay dumating kay Absalom, na sinabi ni Husai kay Absalom, Mabuhay ang hari, mabuhay ang hari.
It came about when Hushai the Arkite, David's friend, had come to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”
17 At sinabi ni Absalom kay Husai, Ito ba ang iyong kagandahang loob sa iyong kaibigan? bakit hindi ka sumama sa iyong kaibigan?
Absalom said to Hushai, “Is this your loyalty to your friend? Why did you not go with him?”
18 At sinabi ni Husai kay Absalom, Hindi; kundi kung sinong piliin ng Panginoon, at ng bayang ito, at ng lahat na lalake sa Israel, doroon ako, at sa kasamahan noon tatahan ako.
Hushai said to Absalom, “No! Instead, the one whom Yahweh and this people and all the men of Israel have chosen, that is the man to whom I will belong, and I will stay with him.
19 At saka, kanino ako maglilingkod? hindi ba sa harap ng kaniyang anak? kung paanong ako'y naglingkod sa harap ng iyong ama, ay magiging gayon ako sa iyong harap.
Also, what man should I serve? Should I not serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father's presence, I will serve in your presence.”
20 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Absalom kay Achitophel, Magbigay payo kayo kung ano ang ating gagawin.
Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give us your advice about what we should do.”
21 At sinabi ni Achitophel kay Absalom, Sipingan mo ang mga babae ng iyong ama, na kaniyang iniwan na magsipagingat ng bahay; at mababalitaan ng buong Israel na ikaw ay makayayamot sa iyong ama: kung magkagayo'y lalakas ang mga kamay ng lahat na nasa iyo.
Ahithophel answered Absalom, “Go sleep with your father's slave wives whom he has left to keep the palace, and all Israel will hear that you have become a stench to your father. Then the hands of all who are with you will be strong.”
22 Sa gayo'y kanilang ipinagladlad si Absalom ng isang tolda sa bubungan ng bahay; at sinipingan ni Absalom ang mga babae ng kaniyang ama sa paningin ng buong Israel.
So they spread for Absalom a tent on the top of the palace, and Absalom slept with his father's slave wives in the sight of all Israel.
23 At ang payo ni Achitophel, na kaniyang ipinapayo sa mga araw na yaon, ay gaya ng kung ang isang lalake ay nagsisiyasat sa salita ng Dios: gayong lahat ang payo ni Achitophel kay David at gayon din kay Absalom.
Now the advice of Ahithophel that he gave in those days was as if a man heard from the mouth of God himself. That was how all of Ahithophel's advice was viewed by both David and Absalom.
