2 Samuel 17

1 Bukod dito'y sinabi ni Achitophel kay Absalom, Papiliin mo ako ng labing dalawang libong lalake, at ako'y titindig at aking hahabulin si David sa gabing ito:

And Achitophel said to Absalom: I will choose me twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night.

2 At ako'y darating sa kaniya samantalang siya'y pagod at may mahinang kamay, at akin siyang tatakutin: at ang buong bayan na nasa kaniya ay tatakas; at ang hari lamang ang aking sasaktan:

And coming upon him (for he is now weary, and weak handed) I will defeat him: and when all the people is put to flight that is with him, I will kill the king who will be left alone.

3 At aking ibabalik sa iyo ang buong bayan: ang lalake na iyong inuusig ay parang kung ang lahat ay nagbabalik: sa gayo'y ang buong bayan ay mapapayapa.

And I will bring back all the people, as if they were but one man: for thou seekest but one man: and all the people shall be in peace.

4 At ang sabi ay nakalugod na mabuti kay Absalom, at sa lahat ng matanda sa Israel.

And his saying pleased Absalom, and all the ancients of Israel.

5 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Absalom, Tawagin mo naman ngayon si Husai na Arachita, at atin ding dinggin ang kaniyang sasabihin.

But Absalom said: Call Chusai the Arachite, and let us hear what he also saith.

6 At nang dumating si Husai kay Absalom, ay sinalita ni Absalom sa kaniya, na sinasabi, Nagsalita si Achitophel ng ganitong paraan: atin bang gagawin ang ayon sa kaniyang sabi? Kung hindi, magsalita ka.

And when Chusai was come to Absalom, Absalom said to him: Achitophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do it or not? what counsel dost thou give?

7 At sinabi ni Husai kay Absalom, Ang payo na ibinigay ni Achitophel ngayon ay hindi mabuti.

And Chusai said to Absalom: The counsel that Achitophel hath given this time is not good.

8 Sinabi ni Husai bukod sa rito, Iyong kilala ang iyong Ama at ang kaniyang mga lalake, na sila'y makapangyarihang lalake at sila'y nagngingitngit sa kanilang mga pagiisip na gaya ng isang oso na ninakawan sa parang ng kaniyang mga anak: at ang iyong ama ay lalaking mangdidigma, at hindi tatahan na kasama ng bayan.

And again Chusai said: Thou knowest thy father, and the men that are with him, that they are very valiant, and bitter in their mind, as a bear raging in the wood when her whelps are taken away: and thy father is a warrior, and will not lodge with the people.

9 Narito, siya'y nagkukubli ngayon sa isang hukay o sa ibang dako: at mangyayari, na pagka ang ilan sa kanila ay nabuwal sa pasimula, sinomang makarinig ay magsasabi, May patayan sa bayang sumusunod kay Absalom.

Perhaps he now lieth hid in pits, or in some other place where he list: and when any one shall fall at the first, every one that heareth it shall say: There is a slaughter among the people that followed Absalom.

10 At pati ng matapang, na ang puso ay gaya ng puso ng leon, ay lubos na manglulupaypay: sapagka't kilala ng buong Israel na ang iyong ama ay makapangyarihang lalake, at sila na nasa kaniya ay matatapang na lalake.

And the most valiant man whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall melt for fear: for all the people of Israel know thy father to be a valiant man, and that all who are with him are valiant.

11 Nguni't aking ipinapayo na ang buong Israel ay mapisan sa iyo, mula sa Dan hanggang sa Beer-seba, na gaya ng buhangin na nasa tabi ng dagat ang dami; at ikaw ay pumaroon sa pagbabaka ng iyong sariling pagkatao.

But this seemeth to me to be good counsel: Let all Israel be gathered to thee, from Dan to Bersabee, as the sand of the sea which cannot be numbered: and thou shalt be in the midst of them.

12 Sa gayo'y aabutin natin siya sa ibang dako na kasusumpungan natin sa kaniya, at tayo'y babagsak sa kaniya na gaya ng hamog na lumalapag sa lupa: at sa kaniya at sa lahat ng mga lalake na nasa kaniya ay hindi tayo magiiwan kahit isa.

And we shall come upon him in what place soever he shall be found: and we shall cover him, as the dew falleth upon the ground, and we shall not leave of the men that are with him, not so much as one.

13 Bukod dito, kung siya'y umurong sa isang bayan, ang buong Israel ay magdadala nga ng mga lubid sa bayang yaon, at ating babatakin sa ilog, hanggang sa walang masumpungan doon kahit isang maliit na bato.

And if he shall enter into any city, all Israel shall cast ropes round about that city, and we will draw it into the river, so that there shall not be found so much as one small stone thereof.

14 At si Absalom at ang lahat na lalake sa Israel ay nagsipagsabi, Ang payo ni Husai na Arachita ay lalong mabuti kay sa payo ni Achitophel. Sapagka't ipinasiya ng Panginoon na masansala ang mabuting payo ni Achitophel, upang dalhin ng Panginoon ang kasamaan kay Absalom.

And Absalom, and all the men of Israel said: The counsel of Chusai the Arachite is better than the counsel of Achitophel: and by the will of the Lord the profitable counsel of Achitophel was defeated, that the Lord might bring evil upon Absalom.

15 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Husai kay Sadoc at kay Abiathar na mga saserdote. Ganito't ganito ang ipinayo ni Achitophel kay Absalom at sa mga matanda sa Israel; at ganito't ganito ang aking ipinayo.

And Chusai said to Sadoc and Abiathar the priests: Thus and thus did Achitophel counsel Absalom, and the ancients of Israel: and thus and thus did I counsel them.

16 Ngayon nga'y magsugo kang madali, at saysayin kay David, na sabihin, Huwag kang tumigil ng gabing ito sa mga tawiran sa ilang, kundi sa anomang paraan ay tumawid ka: baka ang hari ay mapatay at ang buong bayan na nasa kaniya.

Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying: Tarry not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but without delay pass over: lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that is with him.

17 Si Jonathan at si Ahimaas nga ay nagsitigil sa tabi ng Enrogel; at isang alilang babae ang pinaparoon at pinapagsaysay sa kanila; at sila'y nagsiparoon, at isinaysay sa haring kay David: sapagka't sila'y hindi makapakitang pumasok sa bayan.

And Jonathan and Achimaas stayed by the fountain Rogel: and there went a maid and told them: and they went forward, to carry the message to king David, for they might not be seen, nor enter into the city.

18 Nguni't nakita sila ng isang bata, at isinaysay kay Absalom: at sila'y kapuwa lumabas na nagmadali, at sila'y nagsiparoon sa bahay ng isang lalake sa Bahurim, na may isang balon sa kaniyang looban; at sila'y nagsilusong doon.

But a certain boy saw them, and told Absalom: but they making haste went into the house of a certain man in Bahurim, who had a well in his court, and they went down into it.

19 At ang babae ay kumuha ng isang panakip at inilatag sa bunganga ng balon, at nilagyan ng mga trigo na giniik; at walang bagay na naalaman.

And a woman took, and spread a covering over the mouth of the well, as it were to dry sodden barley: and so the thing was not known.

20 At ang mga bataan ni Absalom ay nagsidating sa babae sa bahay; at kanilang sinabi, Saan nandoon si Ahimaas at si Jonathan? At sinabi ng babae sa kanila, Sila'y tumawid sa batis ng tubig. At nang kanilang mahanap at hindi nila masumpungan ay bumalik sila sa Jerusalem.

And when Absalom’s servants were come into the house, they said to the woman: Where is Achimaas and Jonathan? and the woman answered them: They passed on in haste, after they had tasted a little water. But they that sought them, when they found them not, returned into Jerusalem.

21 At nangyari, pagkatapos na sila'y makaalis, na sila'y nagsilabas sa balon, at nagsiyaon at isinaysay sa haring kay David: at kanilang sinabi kay David, Kayo'y magsibangon, at magsitawid na madali sa tubig: sapagka't ganito ang ipinayo ni Achitophel laban sa inyo.

And when they were gone, they came up out of the well, and going on told king David, and said: Arise, and pass quickly over the river: for this manner of counsel has Achitophel given against you.

22 Nang magkagayo'y nagsibangon si David, at ang buong bayan na kasama niya, at sila'y tumawid sa Jordan; sa pagbubukang liwayway ay walang naiwan kahit isa sa kanila na hindi tumawid sa Jordan.

So David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over the Jordan, until it grew light, and not one of them was left that was not gone over the river.

23 At nang makita ni Achitophel na ang kaniyang payo ay hindi sinunod, kaniyang siniyahan ang kaniyang asno, at bumangon, at umuwi siya sa bahay, sa kaniyang bayan at kaniyang inayos ang kaniyang bahay, at nagbigti; at siya'y namatay, at nalibing sa libingan ng kaniyang ama.

But Achitophel seeing that his counsel was not followed, saddled his ass, and arose and went home to his house and to his city, and putting his house in order, hanged himself, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.

24 Nang magkagayon ay naparoon si David sa Mahanaim. At si Absalom ay tumawid sa Jordan, siya at ang lahat na lalake ng Israel na kasama niya.

But David came to the camp, and Absalom passed over the Jordan, be and all the men of Israel with him.

25 At inilagay ni Absalom si Amasa sa hukbo na kahalili ni Joab. Si Amasa nga ay anak ng isang lalake na ang pangalan ay Itra, na Israelita, na sumiping kay Abigal na anak na babae ni Naas, na kapatid ni Sarvia, na ina ni Joab.

Now Absalom appointed Amasa in Joab’s stead over the army: and Amasa was the son of a man who was called Jethra of Jezrael, who went in to Abigail the daughter of Naas, the sister of Sarvia who was the mother of Joab.

26 At ang Israel at si Absalom ay nagsihantong sa lupain ng Galaad.

And Israel camped with Absalom in the land of Galaad.

27 At nangyari, ng si David ay dumating sa Mahanaim, na si Sobi na anak ni Naas na taga Rabba sa mga anak ni Ammon, at si Machir na anak ni Ammiel na taga Lodebar, at si Barzillai na Galaadita na taga Rogelim.

And when David was come to the camp, Sobi the son of Naas of Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammihel of Lodabar, and Berzellai the Galaadite of Rogelim,

28 Ay nangagdala ng mga higaan, at mga mangkok, at mga sisidlang lupa, at trigo, at sebada, at harina, at butil na sinangag, at habas, at lentehas, at pagkain na sinangag.

Brought him beds, and tapestry, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and meal, and parched corn, and beans, and lentils, and fried pulse,

29 At pulot pukyutan, at mantekilya, at mga tupa, at keso ng baka para kay David, at sa bayan na kasama niya, upang kanin; sapagka't kanilang sinabi, Ang bayan ay gutom, at pagod, at uhaw sa ilang.

And honey, and butter, and sheep, and fat calves, and they gave to David and the people that were with him, to eat: for they suspected that the people were faint with hunger and thirst in the wilderness.
