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 Achaab numbered the young men the heads of the districts, and they were two hundred and thirty: and afterwards he numbered the people, [even] every man fit for war, seven thousand.

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 he went forth at noon, an the son of Ader was drinking [and] getting drunk in Socchoth, he and the kings, [even] thirty and two kings, his allies.

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 the young men the heads of the districts went forth first; and they send and report to the king of Syria, saying, There are men come forth out of Samaria.

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 he said to them, If they come forth peaceably, take them alive; and if they come forth to war, take them alive:

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?”

and let not the young men the heads of the districts go forth of the city. And the force that was behind them

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.'”

struck each one the man next to him; and each one a second time struck the man next to him: and Syria fled, and Israel pursued them; and the son of Ader, [even] the king of Syria, escapes on the horse of a horseman.

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 the king of Israel went forth, and took all the horses and the chariots, and struck [the enemy] with a great slaughter in Syria.

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.

And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said, Strengthen yourself, and observe, and see what you shall do; for at the return of the year the son of Ader king of Syria comes up against you.

9 Kaniyang isinulat sa liham, “Maghayag ng isang pag-aayuno at iupo si Nabot ng mataas sa mga tao.

And the servants of the king of Syria, even they said, The God of Israel [is] a God of mountains, and not a God of valleys; therefore has he prevailed against us: but if we should fight against them in the plain, verily we shall prevail against them.

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 do you this thing: Send away the kings, each one to his place, and set princes in their stead.

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 we will give you [another] army according to the army that was destroyed, and cavalry according to the cavalry, and chariots according to the chariots, and we will fight against them in the plain, and we shall prevail against them. And he listened to their voice, and did so.

12 Naghayag sila ng isang pag-aayuno at inupo si Nabot ng mataas sa mga tao.

And it came to pass at the return of the year, that the son of Ader reviewed Syria, and went up to Apheca to war against Israel.

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 the children of Israel were numbered, and came to meet them: and Israel encamped before them as two little flocks of goats, but Syria filled the land.

14 Pagkatapos ang mga nakatatanda ay nagpadala ng ulat kay Jezebel na nagsasabing, “Pinagbabato si Nabot at ngayon ay patay na.

And there came the man of God, and said to the king of Israel, Thus says the Lord, Because Syria has said, The Lord God of Israel [is] a God of the hills, and he [is] not a God of the valleys, therefore will I give this great army into your hand, and you shall know that I [am] the Lord.

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 they encamp one over against the other before them seven days. And it came to pass on the seventh day that the battle drew on, and Israel struck Syria, [even] a hundred thousand footmen in one day.

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 the rest fled to Apheca, into the city; and the wall fell upon twenty-seven thousand men that were left: and the son of Ader fled, and entered into an inner chamber, into a closet.

17 Pagkatapos ang salita ni Yahweh ay dumating kay Elias na taga-Tisbe, na nagsasabing,

And he said to his servants, I know that the kings of Israel are merciful kings: let us now put sackcloth upon our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and let us go forth to the king of Israel, if by any means he will save our souls alive.

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.

So they girded sackcloth upon their loins, and put ropes upon their heads, and said to the king of Israel, Your servant the son of Ader says, Let our souls live, I pray you. And he said, Does he yet live? He is my brother.

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 the men divined, and offered drink-offerings; and they caught the word out of his mouth, and said, Your brother the son of Ader. And he said, Go you in and fetch him. And the son of Ader went out to him, and they cause him to go up to him into the chariot.

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 he said to him, The cities which my father took from your father I will restore to you; and you shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made streets in Samaria; and I will let you go with a covenant. And he made a covenant with him, and let him go.

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.

And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbor by the word of the Lord, Strike me, I pray, And the man would not strike him.

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 he said to him, Because you have not listened to the voice of the Lord, therefore, behold, as you depart from me, a lion shall strike you: and he departed from him, and a lion found him, and struck him.

23 Nagsalita rin si Yahweh ukol kay Jezebel, na nagsasabing, 'Kakainin ng mga aso si Jezebel sa pader ng Jezreel.'

And he finds another man, and says, Strike me, I pray you. And the man struck him, and in striking wounded [him].

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.”

And the prophet went and stood before the king of Israel by the way, and bound his eyes with a bandage.

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.

And it came to pass as the king passed by, that he cried aloud to the king, and said, Your servant went out to war, and, behold, a man brought [another] man to me, and said to me, Keep his man; and if he should by any means escape, then your life shall go for his life, or you shall pay a talent of silver.

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 it came to pass, that your servant looked round this way and that way, and the man was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, Behold, you have also destroyed snares [set] for me.

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 he hasted, and took away the bandage from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized him, that he was one of the prophets.

28 Pagkatapos ang salita ni Yahweh ay dumating kay Elias na taga-Tisbe, na nagsasabing,

And he said to him, Thus says the Lord, Because you have suffered to escape out of your hand a man appointed to destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.

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.”

And the king of Israel departed confounded and discouraged, and came to Samaria.
