1 Mga Hari 21
1 Dumating ang araw na si Nabot ang taga-Jezreel ay nagkaroon ng ubasan sa Jezreel, malapit sa palasyo ni Ahab, hari ng Samaria.
And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
2 Nakipag-usap si Ahab kay Nabot, sinasabing, “Ibigay mo sa akin ang iyong ubasan, para magkaroon ako ng hardin para sa gulay, dahil malapit ito sa aking bahay. Bilang kapalit, bibigyan kita ng mas magandang ubasan, o, kung gusto mo, babayaran ko ang halaga nito sa pera.”
And Ahab spoke unto Naboth, saying, Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to you, I will give you the worth of it in money.
3 Sumagot si Nabot kay Ahab, “Nawa'y ipagbawal ni Yahweh na dapat kong ibigay sa iyo ang lupain na ipinamana ng aking mga ninuno.”
And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto you.
4 Kaya umuwi si Ahab sa kaniyang palasyo nagdadamdam at galit dahil sa sagot na ibinigay sa kaniya ni Nabot na taga-Jezreel, “Hindi ko ibibigay sa iyo ang ipinamana ng aking mga ninuno.” Humiga siya sa kaniyang higaan, ibinaling ang kaniyang mukha, at tumangging kumain ng kahit anong pagkain.
And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
5 Pinuntahan siya ng kaniyang asawang si Jezebel at sinabi sa kaniya, “Bakit napaka lungkot ng iyong puso, kaya ba hindi ka kumain ng pagkain?”
But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is your spirit so sad, that you eat no bread?
6 Sumagot siya sa kaniya, “Nakipag-usap ako kay Nabot na taga-Jezreel at sinabi ko sa kaniya, 'Ibigay mo sa akin ang iyong ubasan kapalit ng pera, o kung ikalulugod mo, bibigyan kita ng ibang ubasan na magiging iyo.' At sumagot siya, 'Hindi ko ibibigay sa iyo ang aking ubasan.'”
And he said unto her, Because I spoke unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it please you, I will give you another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give you my vineyard.
7 Kaya sumagot ang kaniyang asawang si Jezebel, “Hindi ba't pinamumunuan mo pa rin ang kaharian ng Israel? Bumangon ka at kumain; hayaan mo ang iyong puso na magsaya. Kukunin ko ang ubasan ni Nabot na taga-Jezreel para sa iyo.”
And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry: I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
8 Kaya sumulat si Jezebel ng mga liham sa pangalan ni Ahab, sinelyuhan ito ng kaniyang mga selyo, at pinadala ito sa mga nakatatanda at sa mayayaman na nakaupo na kasama niya sa mga pagpupulong, at sa naninirahan malapit kay Nabot.
So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.
9 Kaniyang isinulat sa liham, “Maghayag ng isang pag-aayuno at iupo si Nabot ng mataas sa mga tao.
And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:
10 Maglagay ng dalawang lalaking hindi tapat kasama niya at hayaan silang tumestigo laban sa kaniya, na magsasabing, 'Sinumpa mo ang Diyos at ang hari.'” At ilabas ninyo siya at pagbabatuhin hanggang mamatay.
And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, You did blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.
11 Kaya ang mga tao sa kaniyang lungsod, ang mga nakatatanda at ang mayayaman na naninirahan sa kaniyang lungsod, ay ginawa ang inilarawan ni Jezebel sa kanila, gaya ng nasusulat sa mga liham na kaniyang pinadala sa kanila.
And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
12 Naghayag sila ng isang pag-aayuno at inupo si Nabot ng mataas sa mga tao.
They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
13 Dumating ang dalawang lalaki at umupo sa harapan ni Nabot; tumestigo sila laban kay Nabot sa presensya ng mga tao, na nagsasabing, “Isinumpa ni Nabot ang Diyos at ang hari.” Pagkatapos siya ay nilabas nila sa lungsod at pinagbabato hangggang siya ay mamatay.
And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
14 Pagkatapos ang mga nakatatanda ay nagpadala ng ulat kay Jezebel na nagsasabing, “Pinagbabato si Nabot at ngayon ay patay na.
Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
15 At nang marinig ni Jezebel na si Nabot ay pinagbabato at patay na, sinabi niya kay Ahab, “Bumangon ka at kunin ang ubasan ni Nabot na taga-Jezreel, na kaniyang tinangging ibigay sa iyo kapalit ng pera, dahil si Nabot ay hindi na buhay, pero patay na.”
And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
16 Nang marinig ni Ahab na patay na si Nabot, bumangon siya at bumaba sa ubasan ni Nabot na taga-Jezreel at kinuha ito.
And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
17 Pagkatapos ang salita ni Yahweh ay dumating kay Elias na taga-Tisbe, na nagsasabing,
And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
18 “Bumangon ka at makipagkita kay Ahab na hari ng Israel, na naninirahan sa Samaria. Siya ay nasa ubasan ni Nabot, kung saan siya nagpunta para kunin ito.
Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he is gone down to possess it.
19 Dapat kang makipag-usap sa kaniya at sabihin na sinasabi ni Yahweh, 'Pumatay ka ba at nagkamkam ng ari-arian?' At sasabihin mo sa kaniya na sinasabi ni Yahweh, 'Sa lugar kung saan dinilaan ng mga aso ang dugo ni Nabot, didilaaan ng mga aso ang iyong dugo, oo, ang iyong dugo.'
And you shall speak unto him, saying, Thus says the LORD, Have you killed, and also taken possession? And you shall speak unto him, saying, Thus says the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick your blood, even yours.
20 Sinabi ni Ahab kay Elias, “Natagpuan mo ba ako, aking kaaway?” Sumagot si Elias, “Natagpuan kita, dahil ipinagbili mo ang iyong sarili para gumawa ng kung ano ang masama sa paningin ni Yahweh.
And Ahab said to Elijah, Have you found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found you: because you have sold yourself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.
21 Sinasabi ito sa iyo ni Yahweh: 'Masdan mo, magdadala ako sa iyo ng sakuna at lubos na uubusin at kukunin mula sa iyo ang bawat batang lalaki at alipin at malayang lalaki sa Israel.
Behold, I will bring evil upon you, and will take away your posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisses against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,
22 Ang pamilya mo ay gagawin kong tulad sa pamilya ni Jeroboam anak ni Nebat, at tulad ng pamilya ni Baasa anak ni Ahias, dahil ginalit mo ako at inakay ang Israel na magkasala.'
And will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith you have provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin.
23 Nagsalita rin si Yahweh ukol kay Jezebel, na nagsasabing, 'Kakainin ng mga aso si Jezebel sa pader ng Jezreel.'
And of Jezebel also spoke the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
24 Sinumang nabibilang kay Ahab at ang mamamatay sa lungsod—kakainin ng aso ang taong iyon. At sinumang mamamatay sa bukid—kakainin ang taong iyon ng mga ibon sa himpapawid.”
Him that dies of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dies in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
25 Walang katulad si Ahab, na ibinenta ang kaniyang sarili para gumawa ng kasamaan sa paningin ni Yahweh, na kaniyang asawa na si Jezebel ay inudyukan na magkasala.
But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
26 Gumawa si Ahab ng nakasusuklam na mga gawain para sa mga diyus-diyosang kaniyang sinundan, tulad nalang ng ginawa ng mga taga-Amoreo, silang mga inalis ni Yahweh sa harapan ng bayan ng Israel.
And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
27 Nang marinig ni Ahab ang mga salitang ito, pinunit niya ang kaniyang kasuotan at nagsuot ng damit na sako sa kaniyang katawan at nag-ayuno, at nahiga na nakadamit ng sako at naging labis na malungkot.
And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
28 Pagkatapos ang salita ni Yahweh ay dumating kay Elias na taga-Tisbe, na nagsasabing,
And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
29 “Nakita mo ba kung paano ibinaba ni Ahab ang kaniya sarili sa aking harapan? Dahil ibinaba niya ang kaniyang sarili sa aking harapan, hindi ko na dadalhin ang darating na sakuna sa kaniyang panahon; dadalhin ko ang sakunang ito sa panahon ng kaniyang anak na lalaki at sa kaniyang pamilya.”
See you how Ahab humbles himself before me? because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.
