2 Samuel 3

1 Nagkaroon nga ng matagal na pagbabaka ang sangbahayan ni Saul at ang sangbahayan ni David: at si David ay lumakas ng lumakas, nguni't ang sangbahayan ni Saul ay humina ng humina.

And the war between the house of Saul and the house of David was prolonged, —and, David, waxed stronger and stronger, and, the house of Saul, became weaker and weaker.

2 At nagkaanak si David sa Hebron: at ang kaniyang panganay ay si Amnon kay Ahinoam na taga Jezreel;

And there were born unto David, sons, in Hebron, —and it came to press that—His firstborn was Amnon, by Ahinoam, the Jezreelitess;

3 At ang kaniyang pangalawa ay si Chileab, kay Abigail na asawa ni Nabal na taga Carmelo; at ang ikatlo ay si Absalom na anak ni Maacha na anak ni Talmai na hari sa Gessur;

And his second Chileab, by Abigail, wife of Nabal the Carmelite, And the third Absolom, son of Maachah, daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur;

4 At ang ikaapat ay si Adonias na anak ni Haggith; at ang ikalima ay si Saphatias na anak ni Abital;

And the fourth Adonijah, son of Higgith, —And the fifth Shephatiah, son of Abital;

5 At ang ikaanim ay si Jetream kay Egla, na asawa ni David. Ang mga ito'y ipinanganak kay David sa Hebron.

And the sixth Ithream, by Eglah wife of David. These, were born unto David, in Hebron.

6 At nangyari, samantalang may pagbabaka ang sangbahayan ni Saul at ang sangbahayan ni David, na si Abner ay nagpakalakas sa sangbahayan ni Saul.

And it came to pass, while the war continued between the house of Saul and the house of David, that, Abner, shewed himself courageous for the house of Saul.

7 Si Saul nga ay may babae na ang pangalan ay Rispa, na anak ni Aja: at sinabi ni Is-boseth kay Abner, Bakit ka sumiping sa babae ng aking ama?

Now, Saul, had a concubine, whose name, was Rizpah daughter of Aiah, —and [Ish-bosheth] said unto Abner, Why, wentest thou in, unto my father’s concubine?

8 Nang magkagayo'y nagalit na mainam si Abner dahil sa mga salita ni Is-boseth, at sinabi, Ako ba'y isang ulo ng aso na nauukol sa Juda? Sa araw na ito ay nagpapakita ako ng kagandahang loob sa sangbahayan ni Saul na iyong ama, sa kaniyang mga kapatid, at sa kaniyang mga kaibigan, at hindi ka ibinigay sa kamay ni David, at gayon ma'y iyong ibinibintang sa araw na ito sa akin ang isang kasalanan tungkol sa babaing ito.

And it provoked Abner greatly, on account of the words of Ish-bosheth, and he said—Am I, the head of the dogs, that pertain unto Judah? To-day, would I deal in lovingkindness with the house of Saul thy father, towards his brethren, and towards his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David, —and yet thou hast charged upon me the transgression of the woman, today.

9 Hatulan ng Dios si Abner, at lalo na, malibang gawin kong gayon sa kaniya, na gaya ng isinumpa ng Panginoon kay David;

So, may God do unto Abner, and, so, may he add to him, —if, as Yahweh hath sworn unto David, even so, I deal not with him;

10 Na ilipat ang kaharian mula sa sangbahayan ni Saul, at itatag ang luklukan ni David sa Israel, at sa Juda mula sa Dan hanggang sa Beer-seba.

by turning over the kingdom from the house of Saul, —and establishing the throne of David, over Israel and over Judah, from Dan, even unto Beer-sheba.

11 At hindi siya nakasagot kay Abner ng isang salita, sapagka't siya'y natakot sa kaniya.

And he could no further answer Abner, a word, —because he feared him.

12 At si Abner ay nagsugo ng mga sugo kay David, sa ganang kaniya, na sinasabi naman, Makipagtipan ka sa akin, at, narito, ang aking kamay ay sasa iyo, upang dalhin sa iyo ang buong Israel.

So Abner sent messengers unto David, on the spot, saying—Whose, is the land? Saying [also] —Solemnise thy covenant with me; and lo! my hand, shall be with thee, to bring round unto thee, all Israel.

13 At kaniyang sinabi, Mabuti; ako'y makikipagtipan sa iyo; nguni't isang bagay ang hinihiling ko sa iyo, na ito nga: huwag mong titingnan ang aking mukha, maliban na iyo munang dalhin si Michal na anak na babae ni Saul, pagparito mo upang tingnan ang aking mukha.

And he said—Good! I, will solemnise with thee a covenant, —but, one thing, must I ask of thee, saying—Thou shalt not see my face, except thou have brought in Michal, Saul’s daughter, when thou comest to see my face.

14 At nagsugo ng mga sugo si David kay Is-boseth na anak ni Saul, na sinasabi, Isauli mo sa akin ang aking asawa na si Michal, na siyang aking pinakasalan sa halaga na isang daang balat ng masama ng mga Filisteo.

And David sent messengers unto Ish-bosheth son of Saul, saying, —Give up my wife, Michal, whom I espoused to myself, for a hundred foreskins of Philistines.

15 At nagsugo si Is-boseth, at kinuha siya sa kaniyang asawa, kay Paltiel na anak ni Lais.

So Ish-bosheth sent and took her from her husband, —from Paltiel, son of Laish.

16 At ang kaniyang asawa'y yumaong kasama niya na umiyak habang siya'y yumayaon, at sumusunod sa kaniya hanggang sa Bahurim. Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Abner sa kaniya, Ikaw ay yumaon, bumalik ka: at siya'y bumalik.

And her husband went along with her, weeping as he went behind her, as far as Behurim, —when Abner said unto him—Go, return. And he returned.

17 At nakipag-usap si Abner sa mga matanda sa Israel, na sinasabi, Sa panahong nakaraan ay inyong hinanap si David upang maging hari sa inyo:

Then had Abner, speech, with the elders of Israel, saying, —In times past, ye were seeking David, to be king over you.

18 Ngayon nga ay inyong gawin: sapagka't sinalita ng Panginoon tungkol kay David, na sinasabi, Sa pamamagitan ng kamay ng aking lingkod na si David ay aking ililigtas ang aking bayang Israel sa kamay ng mga Filisteo at sa kamay ng lahat nilang mga kaaway.

Now, therefore, act, —for Yahweh, spake unto David, saying, By the hand of David my servant, will I save my people Israel, out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.

19 At nagsalita naman si Abner sa pakinig ng Benjamin: at si Abner naman ay naparoong nagsalita sa pakinig ni David sa Hebron ng lahat na inaakalang mabuti ng Israel, at ng buong sangbahayan ni Benjamin.

And Abner also spake in the ears of Benjamin, —and Abner also went to speak in the ears of David, in Hebron, all that was pleasing in the eyes of Israel, and in the eyes of all the house of Benjamin.

20 Sa gayo'y naparoon si Abner kay David sa Hebron, at dalawang pung lalake ang kasama niya. At ginawan ni David ng isang kasayahan si Abner at ang mga lalake na kasama niya.

So, when Abner came in unto David, in Hebron, and, with him, twenty men, David made, for Abner, and for the men who were with him, a banquet.

21 At sinabi ni Abner kay David, Ako'y babangon at yayaon, at aking pipisanin ang buong Israel sa aking panginoon na hari, upang sila'y makipagtipan sa iyo, at upang iyong pagharian ng buong ninanasa ng iyong kaluluwa. At pinayaon ni David si Abner; at siya'y yumaong payapa.

Then said Abner unto David—I will verily arise and go, and gather together unto my lord the king, all Israel—that they may solemnise with thee a covenant, so shalt thou reign over all that thy soul desireth. And David let Abner go, and he departed in peace.

22 At, narito, ang mga lingkod ni David at si Joab ay nagsidating na mula sa isang paghabol, at may dalang malaking samsam: nguni't si Abner ay wala kay David sa Hebron, sapagka't pinayaon niya siya, at siya'y yumaong payapa.

And lo! the servants of David, and Joab, came in from a raid, and, great spoil, brought they in with them; but, Abner, was not with David in Hebron, for he had let him go, and he had departed in peace.

23 Nang si Joab at ang buong hukbo na kasama niya ay magsidating, kanilang isinaysay kay Joab, na sinasabi, Si Abner na anak ni Ner ay naparoon sa hari, at siya'y pinayaon at siya'y yumaong payapa.

When, Joab, and all the host that was with him, had come in, then told they Joab, saying, Abner son of Ner hath been in unto the king, and he hath let him go, and he hath departed in peace.

24 Nang magkagayo'y naparoon si Joab sa hari, at nagsabi, Ano ang iyong ginawa? narito, si Abner ay naparito sa iyo; bakit mo pinayaon siya, at siya'y lubos na yumaon?

Then Joab came in unto the king, and said—What hast thou done? Lo! Abner came in unto thee. Wherefore is it that thou didst let him go, so that he is clean departed?

25 Nalalaman mo si Abner na anak ni Ner ay naparito upang dayain ka at upang maalaman ang iyong paglabas at ang iyong pagpasok, at upang maalaman ang lahat na iyong ginagawa.

Thou knowest Abner son of Ner, that, to deceive thee, he came, —and to take knowledge of thy going out, and thy coming in, and to take knowledge of all that thou art doing.

26 At nang lumabas si Joab na mula kay David, siya'y nagsugo ng mga sugo na sumunod kay Abner, at kanilang ibinalik siya na mula sa balon ng Sira: nguni't hindi nalalaman ni David.

And, when Joab had come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, and brought him back from the well of Sirah, —but, David, knew it not.

27 At nang bumalik si Abner sa Hebron, ay dinala siya ni Joab na bukod sa gitna ng pintuang-bayan upang makipagsalitaan sa kaniya ng lihim, at sinaktan niya siya roon sa tiyan, na anopa't siya'y namatay, dahil sa dugo ni Asael na kaniyang kapatid.

So Abner returned to Hebron, and Joab took him aside into the midst of the gate, to speak with him quietly, —and then smote him there, in the belly, that he died, for the blood of Asahel the brother of Joab.

28 At pagkatapos nang mabalitaan ni David, ay kaniyang sinabi, Ako at ang aking kaharian ay walang sala sa harap ng Panginoon magpakailan man sa dugo ni Abner na anak ni Ner:

And, when David heard of it, after that, he said—Guiltless, am I and my kingdom before Yahweh, unto times age-abiding, —of the blood of Abner son of Ner.

29 Bumagsak sa ulo ni Joab, at sa buong sangbahayan ng kaniyang ama; at huwag na di magkaroon sa sangbahayan ni Joab ng isang inaagasan, o ng isang may ketong, o ng umaagapay sa isang tungkod, o nabubuwal sa pamamagitan ng tabak, o ng kinukulang ng tinapay.

Let it be hurled upon the head of Joab, and against all his father’s house, —and let there not fail from the house of Joab—one that hath an issue, or a leper, or one that leaneth on a crutch, or that falleth by the sword, or that lacketh bread.

30 Sa gayo'y pinatay si Abner ni Joab at ni Abisal na kaniyang kapatid, sapagka't pinatay niya ang kanilang kapatid na si Asael sa Gabaon, sa pagbabaka.

Thus, Joab and Abishai his brother, slew Abner, —because he had caused the death of Asahel their brother, in Gibeon, in the battle.

31 At sinabi ni David kay Joab at sa buong bayan na kasama niya: Hapakin ninyo ang inyong mga suot, at magbigkis kayo ng magaspang na damit, at magluksa kayo sa harap ni Abner. At ang haring si David ay sumunod sa kabaong.

And David said unto Joab, and unto all the people who were with him, —Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth, and lament aloud before Abner. And, King David himself, was following the bier.

32 At kanilang inilibing si Abner sa Hebron: at inilakas ng hari ang kaniyang tinig, at umiyak sa libingan ni Abner; at ang buong bayan ay umiyak.

And they buried Abner in Hebron, —and the king lifted up his voice and wept, at the grave of Abner, and all the people wept.

33 At tinangisan ng hari si Abner, at sinabi, Marapat bang mamatay si Abner, na gaya ng pagkamatay ng isang mangmang?

And the king addressed his dirge unto Abner, and said, —As a base man dieth, should Abner have died?

34 Ang iyong mga kamay ay hindi nangatatalian, o ang iyong mga paa man ay nangagagapos: Kung paanong nabubuwal ang isang lalake sa harap ng mga anak ng kasamaan ay gayon ka nabuwal. At iniyakan siyang muli ng buong bayan.

Thy hands, were not bound, And, thy feet, near to fetters, were not brought, As one falleth before assassins, so didst thou fall! And again all the people wept over him.

35 At ang buong bayan ay naparoon upang pakanin ng tinapay si David samantalang araw pa; nguni't sumumpa si David, na sinasabi, Hatulan ng Dios ako, at lalo na, kung ako'y tumikim ng tinapay o ng anomang bagay hanggang sa ang araw ay lumubog.

And, when all the people came near to get David to eat bread, while yet it was day, David sware, saying—So, let God do to me, and, so, let him add, if, before the sun go in, I taste bread, or anything else.

36 At nahalata ng buong bayan, at minagaling nila: palibhasa'y anomang ginagawa ng hari ay nakalulugod sa buong bayan.

And, all the people, took note of it, and it was noble in their eyes, —as, all that the king did, was, in the eyes of all the people, noble.

37 Sa gayo'y naunawa ng buong bayan at ng buong Israel sa araw na yaon, na hindi sa hari ang pagpatay kay Abner na anak ni Ner.

So then all the people, and all Israel, took note, that day, that it was not of the king, to cause the death of Abner son of Ner.

38 At sinabi ng hari sa kaniyang mga bataan, Hindi ba ninyo nalalaman na may isang prinsipe at mahal na tao, na nabuwal sa araw na ito sa Israel?

And the king said unto his servants, —Will ye not take note that, a prince and a great man, hath fallen this day, in Israel?

39 At ako'y mahina sa araw na ito, bagaman pinahirang hari; at ang mga lalaking ito na mga anak ni Sarvia ay totoong mahirap kasamahin: gantihan nawa ng Panginoon ang manggagawang masama ayon sa kaniyang kasamaan.

And, I myself, this day, am weak, though anointed king, but, these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are more severe than I: Yahweh repay, the doer of wickedness, according to his wickedness.
