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 events, that Naboth the Yizre'elite had a vineyard, which was in Yizre'el, near the palace of Achab the 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 Achab spoke unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that it may serve me for a herb-garden, because it is near unto my house; and I will give thee in its stead a vineyard better than it; [or, ] if it seem good in thy eyes, I will give thee the money, the value of the same.
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 Achab, Far be it from me before the Lord, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.
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 Achab came into his house low-spirited and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Yizre'elite had spoken to him, when he said, I will not give unto thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid himself down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no food.
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 Izebel his wife came to him, and spoke unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad! and why eatest thou no food?
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 Yizre'elite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee a vineyard in its stead; but he hath said, I will not give unto thee 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.”
Then said unto him Izebel his wife, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, eat bread, and let thy heart be merry: I will myself give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre'elite.
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 Achab's name, and sealed them with his seal; and she sent the letters unto the elders and unto the nobles who were in his city, and who dwelt near 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 cause Naboth to sit at the head of 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 seat two men, worthless fellows, opposite to him, and let them bear witness against him, saying, Thou hast blasphemed God and the king; and then lead him forth, 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, the elders and the nobles, those who dwelt in his city, did as Izebel had sent unto them, as 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 caused Naboth to sit at the head of 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, worthless fellows, and seated themselves opposite to him; and these worthless men testified against him, against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth hath blasphemed God and the king. Then they led 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.
And they sent to Izebel, saying, Naboth hath been 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 Izebel heard that Naboth had been stoned, and was dead, that Izebel said to Achab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre'elite, which he refused to give thee 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 Achab heard that Naboth was dead, that Achab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre'elite, 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 Achab the king of Israel, who is in Samaria; behold he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to take possession of 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 thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, Hast thou murdered, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, In the place where the dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall the dogs lick thy blood, yes, thine also.
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 Achab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O my enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to do what is evil in the eyes 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 thee, and I will sweep out after thee, and will cut off from Achab every male, and the guarded and fortified 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 I will make thy house like the house of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, and like the house of Ba'sha the son of Achiyah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked [me] to anger, and induced Israel to sin.
23 Nagsalita rin si Yahweh ukol kay Jezebel, na nagsasabing, 'Kakainin ng mga aso si Jezebel sa pader ng Jezreel.'
And also concerning Izebel hath the Lord spoken, saying, The dogs shall eat Izebel in the valley of Yizre'el.
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 dieth of Achab in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the heavens 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 indeed there was none like unto Achab, who sold himself to do what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, to which Izebel his wife incited him.
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 acted very abominably in following the idols, in all things just as had done the Emorites, whom the Lord had driven out from 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 Achab heard these words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and slept in the sackcloth, and walked about barefooted.
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.”
Hast thou seen how Achab hath humbled himself before me? therefore, because he hath humbled himself before me, will I not bring the evil in his days: in the days of his son will I bring the evil upon his house.
