2 Samuel 2
1 At nangyari, pagkatapos nito, na nagusisa si David sa Panginoon, na nagsasabi, Aahon ba ako sa alinman sa mga bayan ng Juda? At sinabi ng Panginoon sa kaniya, Umahon ka. At sinabi ni David, Saan ako aahon? At kaniyang sinabi, Sa Hebron.
And it came to pass after this that David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up into one of the cities of Juda? and the Lord said to him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? and he said, To Chebron.
2 Sa gayo'y umahon si David doon, at pati ng kaniyang dalawang asawa, si Ahinoam na taga Jezreel, at si Abigail na asawa ni Nabal, na taga Carmelo.
And David went up there to Chebron, [he] and both his wives, Achinaam the Jezraelitess, and Abigaia the wife of Nabal the Carmelite,
3 At ang kaniyang mga lalake na kasama niya ay iniahon ni David bawa't lalake na kasama ang kanikaniyang sangbahayan: at sila'y nagsitahan sa mga bayan ng Hebron.
and the men that were with him, every one and his family; and they lived in the cities of Chebron.
4 At nagsiparoon ang mga lalake ng Juda, at kanilang pinahiran ng langis doon si David upang maging hari sa sangbahayan ng Juda. At kanilang isinaysay kay David, na sinasabi, Ang mga lalake sa Jabes-galaad ay siyang naglibing kay Saul.
And the men of Judea come, and anoint David there to reign over the house of Juda; and they reported to David, saying, The men of Jabis of the country of Galaad have buried Saul.
5 At nagsugo ng mga sugo si David sa mga lalake sa Jabes-galaad, at sinabi sa kanila, Pagpalain nawa kayo ng Panginoon, na kayo'y nagpakita ng kagandahang loob na ito sa inyong panginoon, sa makatuwid baga'y kay Saul, at inyong inilibing siya.
And David sent messengers to the rulers of Jabis of the country of Galaad, and David said to them, Blessed be you of the Lord, because you have wrought this mercy towards your lord, even towards Saul the anointed of the Lord, and you have buried him and Jonathan his son.
6 At ngayon nawa'y pagpakitaan kayo ng Panginoon ng kagandahang loob at katotohanan: at ako naman ay gaganti sa inyo nitong kagandahang loob, sapagka't inyong ginawa ang bagay na ito.
And now may the Lord deal in mercy and truth towards you: and I also will requite towards you this good deed, because you have done this.
7 Ngayon nga, magsilakas nawa ang inyong mga kamay, at kayo nawa'y maging matatapang: sapagka't patay na si Saul na inyong panginoon, at pinahiran ng langis naman ako ng sangbahayan ni Juda upang maging hari sa kanila.
And now let your hands be made strong, and be valiant; for your master Saul is dead, and moreover the house of Juda have anointed me to be king over them.
8 Kinuha nga ni Abner na anak ni Ner na kapitan sa hukbo ni Saul, si Is-boseth na anak ni Saul, at inilipat sa Mahanaim;
But Abenner, the son of Ner, the commander-in-chief of Saul's army, took Jebosthe son of Saul, and brought him up from the camp to Manaem
9 At kaniyang ginawa siyang hari sa Galaad, at sa mga Asureo, at sa Jezreel, at sa Ephraim, at sa Benjamin, at sa buong Israel.
and made him king over the land of Galaad, and over Thasiri, and over Jezrael, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
10 Si Is-boseth na anak ni Saul ay may apat na pung taon nang siya'y magpasimulang maghari sa Israel, at siya'y naghari na dalawang taon. Nguni't ang sangbahayan ni Juda ay sumunod kay David.
Jebosthe, Saul's son [was] forty years old, when he reigned over Israel; and he reigned two years, but not over the house of Juda, who followed David.
11 At ang panahon na ipinaghari ni David sa Hebron sa sangbahayan ni Juda ay pitong taon at anim na buwan.
And the days which David reigned in Chebron over the house of Juda were seven years and six months.
12 At si Abner na anak ni Ner, at ang mga lingkod ni Is-boseth na anak ni Saul, ay nangapasa Gabaon mula sa Mahanaim.
And Abenner the son of Ner went forth, and the servants of Jebosthe the son of Saul, from Manaem to Gabaon.
13 At si Joab na anak ni Sarvia, at ang mga lingkod ni David ay nagsilabas, at sinalubong sila sa siping ng tangke sa Gabaon; at sila'y naupo, na ang isa'y sa isang dako ng tangke, at ang isa'y sa kabilang dako ng tangke.
And Joab the son of Saruia, and the servants of David, went forth from Chebron, and met them at the fountain of Gabaon, at the same place: and these sat down by the fountain on this side, and those by the fountain on that side.
14 At sinabi ni Abner kay Joab, Isinasamo ko sa iyo na bumangon ang mga bataan at magsanay ng tabak sa harap natin. At sinabi ni Joab, Bumangon sila.
And Abenner said to Joab, Let now the young men arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
15 Nang magkagayo'y bumangon sila at tumawid ayon sa bilang; labing dalawa sa Benjamin, at sa ganang kay Is-boseth na anak ni Saul, at labing dalawa sa mga lingkod ni David.
And there arose and passed over by number twelve of the children of Benjamin, belonging to Jebosthe the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
16 At hinawakan sa ulo ng bawa't isa sa kanila ang kaniyang kaaway, at isinaksak ang kaniyang tabak sa tagiliran ng kaniyang kaaway; sa gayo'y nangabuwal sila na magkakasama: kaya't ang dakong yaon ay tinatawag na Helcath-assurim na nasa Gabaon.
And they seized every one the head of his neighbour with his hand, and his sword [was thrust] into the side of his neighbour, and they fall down together: and the name of that place was called The portion of the treacherous ones, which is in Gabaon.
17 At ang pagbabaka ay lumalalang mainam nang araw na yaon; at si Abner ay nadaig, at ang mga lalake ng Israel sa harap ng mga lingkod ni David.
And the battle was very severe on that day; and Abenner and the men of Israel were worsted before the servants of David.
18 At nandoon ang tatlong anak ni Sarvia, si Joab, at si Abisai, at si Asael: at si Asael ay magaan ang paa na gaya ng mailap na usa.
And there were there the three sons of Saruia, Joab, and Abessa, and Asael: and Asael was swift in his feet as a roe in the field.
19 At hinabol ni Asael si Abner; at sa pagyaon, siya'y hindi lumihis sa kanan o sa kaliwa man sa pagsunod kay Abner.
And Asael followed after Abenner, and turned not to go to the right hand or to the left from following Abenner.
20 Nang magkagayo'y nilingon ni Abner, at sinabi, Ikaw ba'y si Asael? At siya'y sumagot: Ako nga.
And Abenner looked behind him, and said, Are you Asael himself? and he said, I am.
21 At sinabi ni Abner sa kaniya, Lumihis ka sa iyong kanan o sa iyong kaliwa, at iyong tangnan ang isa sa mga bataan, at kunin mo ang kaniyang sakbat. Nguni't ayaw ni Asael na humiwalay sa pagsunod sa kaniya.
And Abenner said to him, Turn you to the right hand or to the left, and lay hold for yourself on one of the young men, and take to yourself his armour: but Asel would not turn back from following him.
22 At sinabi uli ni Abner kay Asael, Lumihis ka sa pagsunod sa akin: bakit nga kita ibubulagta sa lupa? paanong aking maitataas nga ang aking mukha kay Joab na iyong kapatid?
And Abenner said yet again to Asael, Stand aloof from me, lest I strike you to the ground? and how should I lift up my face to Joab?
23 Gayon ma'y tumanggi siyang lumihis: kaya't sinaktan siya ni Abner sa tiyan ng dulo ng sibat, na anopa't ang sibat ay lumabas sa likod niya; at siya'y nabuwal doon at namatay sa dako ring yaon: at nangyari, na lahat na naparoon sa dakong kinabuwalan ni Asael at kinamatayan, ay nangapatigil.
And what does this mean? return to Joab your brother? But he would not stand aloof; and Abenner smites him with the hinder end of the spear on the loins, and the spear went out behind him, and he falls there and dies on the spot: and it came to pass that every one that came to the place where Asael fell and died, stood still.
24 Nguni't hinabol ni Joab at ni Abisai si Abner: at ang araw ay nakalubog na nang sila'y dumating sa burol ng Amma, na nasa harap ng Gia sa siping ng daan sa ilang ng Gabaon.
And Joab and Abessa pursued after Abenner, and the sun went down: and they went as far as the hill of Amman, which is in the front of Gai, by the desert way of Gabaon.
25 At ang mga anak ng Benjamin ay nagpipisan sa likuran ni Abner, at nagisang pulutong, at nagsitayo sa taluktok ng isang burol.
And the children of Benjamin who followed Abenner gather themselves together, and they formed themselves into one body, and stood on the top of a hill.
26 Nang magkagayo'y tinawag ni Abner si Joab, at nagsabi, Mananakmal ba ang tabak magpakailan man? hindi mo ba nalalaman na magkakaroon ng kapaitan sa katapusan? hanggang kailan mo nga pababalikin ang bayan na mula sa pagsunod sa kanilang mga kapatid?
And Abenner called Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour perpetually? know you not that it will be bitter at last? How long then will you refuse to tell the people to turn from following our brethren?
27 At sinabi ni Joab, Buhay ang Dios, kung hindi mo sana sinalita ay tunay nga na umalis disin ang bayan sa kinaumagahan, o sinundan man ng sinoman ang bawa't isa sa kaniyang kapatid.
And Joab said, As the Lord lives, if you had not spoken, even from the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
28 Sa gayo'y hinipan ni Joab ang pakakak, at ang buong bayan ay tumigil, at hindi na hinabol ang Israel, o sila man ay lumaban pa.
And Joab sounded the trumpet, and all the people departed, and did not pursue after Israel, and did not fight any longer.
29 At si Abner at ang kaniyang mga lalake ay nagdaan buong gabi sa Araba; at sila'y nagsitawid ng Jordan, at nagsidaan sa buong Bitron, at nagsidating sa Mahanaim.
And Abenner and his men departed at evening, [and went] all that night, and crossed over Jordan, and went along the whole adjacent [country], and they come to the camp.
30 At bumalik si Joab na humiwalay ng paghabol kay Abner: at nang kaniyang mapisan ang buong bayan, nagkulang sa mga lingkod ni David ay labing siyam na lalake at si Asael.
And Joab returned from following Abenner, and he assembled all the people, and there were missing of the people of David, nineteen men, and Asael.
31 Nguni't sinaktan ng mga lingkod ni David ang Benjamin, at ang mga lalake ni Abner, na anopa't nangamatay ay tatlong daan at anim na pung lalake.
And the servants of David struck of the children of Benjamin, of the men of Abenner, three hundred and sixty men belonging to him.
32 At kanilang iniahon si Asael, at inilibing nila siya sa libingan ng kaniyang ama, na nasa Bethlehem. At si Joab at ang kaniyang mga lalake ay nagsiyaon buong gabi, at dumating sila sa Hebron sa kinaumagahan.
And they take up Asael, and bury him in the tomb of his father in Bethleem. And Joab and the men with him went all the night, and the morning rose upon them in Chebron.
