1 Mga Hari 2

1 Sa pagdating ng araw ng malapit nang mamatay si David, inutusan niya si Solomon na kaniyang anak, sinabi niya,

Now the days of David drew near that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,

2 “Papunta na ako sa lupa. Kaya maging malakas ka at ipakita mong lalaki ka.

I go the way of all the earth: be you strong therefore, and show yourself a man;

3 Sundin mo ang mga utos ni Yahweh na iyong Diyos na lumakad sa kaniyang mga pamamaraan, na sumunod sa kaniyang mga alituntunin, kautusan, desisyon, at mga kautusan sa tipan, maging maingat na gawin kung ano ang nakasulat sa batas ni Moises, sa gayon magtatagumpay ka sa lahat ng gagawin mo, saan ka man pumunta,

And keep the charge of the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do, and wherever you turn yourself:

4 upang tuparin ni Yahweh ang kaniyang salita na sinabi niya tungkol sa akin, na sinasabi niyang, 'Kung maingat na binabantayan ng mga anak mong lalaki ang kanilang pag-uugali, na lalakad nang matapat sa harapan ko nang kanilang buong puso at kaluluwa, hindi titigil kailanman na magkaroon ka ng isang lalaki sa trono ng Israel.'

That the LORD may continue his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, If your children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail you (said he) a man on the throne of Israel.

5 Alam mo rin kung ano ang ginawa sa akin ni Joab na anak ni Zeruias, at kung ano ang ginawa niya sa dalawang kumander ng mga hukbo ng Israel, kay Abner na anak ni Ner, at kay Amasa na anak ni Jeter, na pinatay niya. Pinadanak niya ang dugo ng digmaan sa panahon ng kapayapaan at inilagay ang dugo ng digmaan sa sinturon sa palibot ng kaniyang baywang at sa mga sapatos niya sa kaniyang mga paa.

Moreover you know also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war on his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.

6 Pakitunguhan mo si Joab gamit ang karunungan na natutunan mo, pero huwag mong hayaang ang kaniyang kulay abong ulo ay mapunta sa libingan nang may kapayapaan. (Sheol h7585)

Do therefore according to your wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace. (Sheol h7585)

7 Subalit, magpakita ka ng kabaitan sa mga anak na lalaki ni Barsilai na taga-Galaad, at hayaan mo silang makasama sa mga kumakain sa iyong mesa, dahil pumunta sila sa akin noong tumakas ako sa kapatid mong si Absalom.

But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at your table: for so they came to me when I fled because of Absalom your brother.

8 Tingnan mo, kasama mo si Semei na anak ni Gera, ang Benjaminita ng Bahurim, na sinumpa ako ng isang napakasamang sumpa noong araw na pumunta ako sa Mahanaim. Bumaba si Semei para salubungin ako sa Jordan, at sumumpa ako sa kaniya kay Yahweh, sinasabi ko, 'Hindi kita papatayin gamit ang espada.'

And, behold, you have with you Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I swore to him by the LORD, saying, I will not put you to death with the sword.

9 Kaya ngayon, huwag mo siyang hayaang makawala mula sa kaparusahan. Isa kang matalinong tao, at malalaman mo kung ano ang dapat mong gawin sa kaniya. Dadalhin mo ang kaniyang kulay abong ulo sa libingan nang may dugo.” (Sheol h7585)

Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for you are a wise man, and know what you ought to do to him; but his hoar head bring you down to the grave with blood. (Sheol h7585)

10 Pagkatapos, nahimlay na si David kasama ang kaniyang mga ninuno at inilibing sa lungsod ni David.

So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.

11 Ang mga araw na naghari si David sa Israel ay apatnapung taon. Naghari siya sa Hebron ng pitong taon at sa Jerusalem ng tatlumpu't tatlong taon.

And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.

12 Pagkatapos naupo si Solomon sa trono ng kaniyang ama na si David, at ang kaniyang pamumuno ay naging matatag.

Then sat Solomon on the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.

13 Pagkatapos, pumunta si Adonias na anak ni Haguit kay Batsheba na ina ni Solomon. Sinabi niya, “Pumunta ka ba dito nang may kapayapaan?” Sinagot niya, “Mapayapa.”

And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Come you peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.

14 Pagkatapos ay sinabi niya, “Mayroon akong nais sabihin sa iyo.” Kaya sumagot siya, “Magsalita ka.”

He said moreover, I have somewhat to say to you. And she said, Say on.

15 Sinabi ni Adonias, “Alam mo na ang kaharian ay sa akin, at inasahan akong maging hari ng buong Israel. Gayunpaman, bumaliktad ang naganap sa kaharian at napunta sa aking kapatid, dahil ito ay sa kaniya mula kay Yahweh.

And he said, You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: however, the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother’s: for it was his from the LORD.

16 Ngayon mayroon akong isang kahilingan sa iyo. Huwag mo akong tanggihan.” Sinabi sa kaniya ni Batsheba, “Magsalita ka.”

And now I ask one petition of you, deny me not. And she said to him, Say on.

17 Sinabi niya, “Pakiusap, kausapin mo si Solomon na hari, dahil hindi ka niya tatanggihan, para ibigay niya sa akin si Abisag na taga-Sunem bilang aking asawa.”

And he said, Speak, I pray you, to Solomon the king, (for he will not say you no, ) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.

18 Sinabi ni Batsheba, “Kung ganoon, kakausapin ko ang hari.”

And Bathsheba said, Well; I will speak for you to the king.

19 Kaya pumunta si Batsheba kay Haring Solomon para kausapin siya para kay Adonias. Tumayo ang hari para salubungin siya at yumuko siya sa kaniya. Pagkatapos ay naupo siya sa kaniyang trono at nagpakuha ng trono para sa ina ng hari. Naupo siya sa bandang kanang kamay niya.

Bathsheba therefore went to king Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself to her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king’s mother; and she sat on his right hand.

20 Pagkatapos, sinabi niya, “Gusto kong humiling ng isang maliit na kahilingan sa iyo; huwag mo akong tanggihan.” Sinagot siya ng hari, “Humiling ka, aking ina, dahil hindi kita tatanggihan.”

Then she said, I desire one small petition of you; I pray you, say me not no. And the king said to her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not say you no.

21 Sinabi niya, “Ibigay mo si Abisag na taga-Sunem kay Adonias na iyong kapatid bilang kaniyang asawa.”

And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother to wife.

22 Sumagot si Haring Solomon at sinabi sa kaniyang ina, “Bakit mo hinihingi si Abisag na taga-Sunem para kay Adonias? Bakit hindi mo rin hingin ang kaharian para sa kaniya, dahil siya ang aking nakatatandang kapatid—para sa kaniya, para kay Abiatar na pari, at para kay Joab na anak ni Zeruias?”

And king Solomon answered and said to his mother, And why do you ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is my elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.

23 Pagkatapos ay sumumpa si Haring Solomon kay Yahweh, sinasabi niya, “Nawa'y gawin sa akin ng Diyos, at mas higit pa, kung hindi ito sinabi ni Adonias laban sa kaniyang sariling buhay.

Then king Solomon swore by the LORD, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life.

24 Kaya ngayon sa kay Yahweh na buhay, na nagtatag at naglagay sa akin sa trono ni David na aking ama, at ang gumawa ng sambahayan sa akin tulad ng ipinangako niya, tiyak na papatayin si Adonias ngayon.”

Now therefore, as the LORD lives, which has established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me an house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day.

25 Kaya pinadala ni Haring Solomon si Benaias na anak ni Joiada at nahanap ni Benaias si Adonias at pinatay siya.

And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell on him that he died.

26 At kay Abiatar na pari, sinabi ng hari, “Pumunta ka sa Anatot, sa sarili mong bukirin. Dapat kang patayin, pero hindi kita papatayin sa oras na ito, dahil binuhat mo ang kaban ng tipan ng Panginoong si Yahweh sa harap ni David na aking ama at kasama kang naghirap sa bawat paghihirap ng aking ama.”

And to Abiathar the priest said the king, Get you to Anathoth, to your own fields; for you are worthy of death: but I will not at this time put you to death, because you bore the ark of the LORD God before David my father, and because you have been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.

27 Kaya inalis ni Solomon si Abiatar mula sa pagiging pari ni Yahweh, para matupad niya ang salita ni Yahweh, na sinabi niya tungkol sa sambahayan ni Eli sa Silo.

So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest to the LORD; that he might fulfill the word of the LORD, which he spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.

28 Dumating ang balita kay Joab, dahil sinuportahan ni Joab si Adonias, pero hindi niya sinuportahan si Absalom. Kaya pumunta si Joab sa tolda ni Yahweh at kinuha ang mga sungay sa altar.

Then tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled to the tabernacle of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

29 Sinabi kay Haring Solomon na si Joab ay tumakas papunta sa tolda ni Yahweh at ngayo'y nasa tabi ng altar. Kaya sinugo ni Solomon si Benaias na anak ni Joiada, sinasabi niya, “Humayo ka, patayin mo siya.”

And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled to the tabernacle of the LORD; and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall on him.

30 Kaya pumunta si Benaias sa tolda ni Yahweh at sinabi sa kaniya, “Ang sabi ng hari, 'Lumabas ka.'” Sumagot si Joab, “Hindi, mamamatay ako dito.” Kaya bumalik si Benaias sa hari, sinasabi niya, “Sinabi ni Joab na gusto niyang mamatay sa altar.”

And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the LORD, and said to him, Thus says the king, Come forth. And he said, No; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.

31 Sinabi sa kaniya ng hari, “Gawin mo kung ano ang sinabi niya. Patayin mo siya at ilibing, para maalis mo mula sa akin at sa sambahayan ng aking ama ang dugo na pinadanak ni Joab nang walang dahilan.

And the king said to him, Do as he has said, and fall on him, and bury him; that you may take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father.

32 Nawa'y ibalik ni Yahweh ang dugo sa kaniyang sarili, dahil nilusob niya ang dalawang lalaking mas matuwid at mas mabuti kaysa sa kaniya at pinatay sila gamit ang espada, sila Abner na anak ni Ner, ang kapitan ng hukbo ng Israel, at Amasa na anak ni Jeter, ang kapitan ng hukbo ng Juda, nang hindi nalalaman ng aking amang si David.

And the LORD shall return his blood on his own head, who fell on two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to wit, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.

33 Kaya nawa ang dugo nila ay bumalik sa ulo ni Joab at sa ulo ng kaniyang mga kaapu-apuhan magpakailanman. Pero kay David at sa kaniyang mga kaapu-apuhan, at kaniyang sambahayan, at sa kaniyang trono, nawa'y magkaroon ng kapayapaan mula kay Yahweh magpakailanman.”

Their blood shall therefore return on the head of Joab, and on the head of his seed for ever: but on David, and on his seed, and on his house, and on his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD.

34 Pagkatapos, umalis si Benaias na anak ni Joiada at sinalakay si Joab at pinatay siya. Inilibing siya sa kaniyang sariling bahay sa ilang.

So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell on him, and slew him: and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.

35 Nilagay ng hari si Benaias na anak ni Joiada sa hukbo kapalit niya, at nilagay niya si Sadoc na pari kapalit ni Abiatar.

And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host: and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar.

36 Pagkatapos ay pinadala at pinatawag niya si Semei, at sinabi sa kaniya, “Magtayo ka ng bahay sa Jerusalem at manirahan doon, at huwag kang lalabas mula doon papunta kahit saang lugar.

And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Build you an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth there any where.

37 Dahil sa araw na umalis ka, at dumaan sa Lambak ng Kidron, dapat mong malaman na tiyak kang mamamatay. Ang dugo ay mapupunta sa iyong sarili.”

For it shall be, that on the day you go out, and pass over the brook Kidron, you shall know for certain that you shall surely die: your blood shall be on your own head.

38 Kaya sinabi ni Semei sa hari, “Ang sinasabi mo ay mabuti. Tulad ng sinabi ng aking panginoon na hari, gagawin ng iyong lingkod.” Kaya nanirahan si Semei sa Jerusalem nang maraming araw.

And Shimei said to the king, The saying is good: as my lord the king has said, so will your servant do. And Shimei dwelled in Jerusalem many days.

39 Pero sa pagtatapos ng tatlong taon, dalawa sa mga lingkod ni Semei ay tumakas papunta kay Achish na anak ni Maaca na hari ng Gat. Kaya sinabi nila kay Semei, “Tingnan mo, ang mga lingkod mo ay nasa Gat.”

And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away to Achish son of Maachah king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, your servants be in Gath.

40 At tumayo si Semei, inihanda niya ang kaniyang asno, at pumunta kay Achish sa Gat para hanapin ang kaniyang mga lingkod. Umalis siya at kinuha ang kaniyang mga lingkod mula sa Gat.

And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants: and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.

41 Nang sinabihan si Solomon na umalis si Semei mula sa Jerusalem papuntang Gat at bumalik,

And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again.

42 nagsugo ang hari at pinatawag si Semei at sinabi sa kaniyang, “Hindi ba kita pinanumpa kay Yahweh, at nagpatotoo sa iyo, sinasabi ko, 'Dapat mong malaman na sa araw na aalis ka at pupunta sa ibang lugar, tiyak na mamamatay ka?' Pagkatapos ay sinabi mo sa akin, 'Ang sinabi mo ay mabuti.'

And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Did I not make you to swear by the LORD, and protested to you, saying, Know for a certain, on the day you go out, and walk abroad any where, that you shall surely die? and you said to me, The word that I have heard is good.

43 Kaya bakit hindi mo iningatan ang iyong panunumpa kay Yahweh, at ang utos na binigay ko sa iyo?”

Why then have you not kept the oath of the LORD, and the commandment that I have charged you with?

44 Sinabi rin ng hari kay Semei, “Alam mo sa iyong puso ang lahat ng kasamaan na ginawa mo sa aking ama na si David. Kaya ibabalik ni Yahweh ang kasamaan mo sa iyong sarili.

The king said moreover to Shimei, You know all the wickedness which your heart is privy to, that you did to David my father: therefore the LORD shall return your wickedness on your own head;

45 Pero pagpapalain si Haring Solomon, at matatatag ang trono ni David sa harap ni Yahweh magpakailanman.”

And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD for ever.

46 Kaya inutusan ng hari si Benaias na anak ni Joiada na umalis at patayin si Semei. Kaya ang pamumuno ay matibay na naitatag sa kamay ni Solomon.

So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; which went out, and fell on him, that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
