2 Mga Hari 1
1 Nang namatay si Ahab, nagrebelde ang Moab laban sa Israel.
Then, after the death of Ahab, Moab transgressed against Israel.
2 Pagkatapos, nahulog si Ahazias sa balkonahe sa taas ng kaniyang tulugan sa Samaria, at nagkaroon ng malubhang karamdaman. Kaya nagpadala siya ng mga mensahero at sinabi sa kanila, “Pumunta kayo at tanungin si Baal-zebub, ang diyos ng Ekron, kung gagaling pa ako sa karamdamang ito.”
And Ahaziah fell down through the lattices of his upper room, which he had in Samaria, and he was injured. And he sent messengers, saying to them, “Go, consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron, as to whether I may be able to survive this infirmity of mine.”
3 Pero sinabi ng anghel ni Yahweh kay Elias ang taga-Tisbe, “Tumayo ka at puntahan ang mga mensahero ng hari ng Samaria, at tanungin mo sila, 'Dahil ba walang Diyos sa Israel kaya kayo pupunta para sumangguni kay Baal-zebub ang diyos ng Ekron?
And an Angel of the Lord spoke to Elijah, the Tishbite, saying: “Rise up, and ascend to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria. And you shall say to them: ‘Is there not a God in Israel, so that you would go to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron?
4 Dahil dito, ito ang sabi ni Yahweh, “Hindi ka na makakabangon sa higaan kung saan ka bumabangon; sa halip, tiyak kang mamamatay.” Pagkatapos umalis si Elias.
For this reason, thus says the Lord: From the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.’” And Elijah went away.
5 Nang bumalik ang mga mensahero kay Ahazias, sinabi niya sa kanila, “Bakit kayo bumalik?”
And the messengers returned to Ahaziah. And he said to them, “Why have you returned?”
6 Sinabi nila sa kaniya, “Isang lalaki ang lumapit sa amin na nagsabi, 'Bumalik kayo sa haring nagpadala sa inyo, at sabihin sa kaniya, “Sinabi ito ni Yahweh: 'Dahil ba walang Diyos sa Israel kaya kayo pupunta para sumangguni kay Baal-zebub ang diyos ng Ekron? Dahil dito, hindi ka na makakabangon sa hingaan kung saan ka bumabangon; sa halip, tiyak kang mamamatay.”
But they responded to him: “A man met us, and he said to us: ‘Go, and return to the king who sent you. And you shall say to him: Thus says the Lord: Is it because there was no God in Israel that you are sending to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore, from the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.’”
7 Sinabi ni Ahazias sa kaniyang mga mensahero, “Anong klaseng tao siya, ang taong lumapit sa inyo at sinabi ang mga salitang ito?
And he said to them: “What was the appearance and dress of that man, who met you and who spoke these words?”
8 Sumagot sila sa kaniya, “Nakasuot siya ng damit na gawa sa buhok at mayroong balat na sinturon na nakasuot sa kaniyang baywang.” Kaya sumagot ang hari, “Si Elias iyon na taga-Tisbe.”
So they said, “A hairy man, with a belt of leather wrapping his waist.” And he said, “It is Elijah, the Tishbite.”
9 Pagkatapos nagpadala ang hari ng kapitan kasama ang limampung sundalo para kay Elias. Nagpunta ang kapitan kay Elias kung saan nakaupo siya sa tuktok ng burol. Nagsalita ang kapitan sa kaniya, ikaw na lingkod ng Diyos, sinabi ng hari, 'Bumaba ka.'”
And he sent to him a leader of fifty, with the fifty who were under him. And he ascended to him, sitting at the top of a hill, and he said, “Man of God, the king commanded that you should descend.”
10 Sumagot si Elias at sinabi sa kapitan, “kung ako ay lingkod ng Diyos, bumaba sana ang apoy mula sa kalangitan at sunugin ka at ang limampung sundalo mo.” Pagkatapos bumaba ang apoy mula sa kalangitan at sinunog siya at kaniyang limampung sundalo.
And responding, Elijah said to the leader of fifty, “If I am a man of God, let fire from heaven descend and devour you and your fifty.” And then fire from heaven descended and devoured him and the fifty who were with him.
11 Muling nagpadala si Haring Ahazias ng isa pang kapitan na may kasamang limampung sundalo para kay Elias. Sinabi ng kapitan kay Elias, “Ikaw na lingkod ng Diyos, sabi ng hari, 'Magmadali kang bumaba.'”
And again, he sent to him another leader of fifty, and the fifty with him. And he said to him, “Man of God, thus says the king: Hurry, descend.”
12 Sumagot si Elias at sinabi sa kanila, “Kung ako ay lingkod ng Diyos, bumaba sana ang apoy mula sa kalangitan at sunugin ka at iyong limampung sundalo.” Muli, bumaba ang apoy ng Diyos mula sa kalangitan at sinunog siya at kaniyang limampung sundalo.
Responding, Elijah said, “If I am a man of God, let fire from heaven descend and devour you and your fifty.” And fire from heaven descended and devoured him and his fifty.
13 Ganun pa man, nagpadala muli ang hari ng ikatlong grupo ng limampung mandirigma. Umakyat ang kapitan, lumuhod sa harap ni Elias, at nagmakaawa sa kaniya at sinabi, “Ikaw na lingkod ng Diyos, nagmamakaawa ako na ang buhay ko at buhay ng limampung alipin mo ay maging mahalaga sa iyong paningin.
Again, he sent a third leader of fifty men and the fifty who were with him. And when he had arrived, he bent his knees before Elijah, and he pleaded with him, and said: “Man of God, do not choose to despise my life and the lives of your servants who are with me.
14 Tunay nga na bumaba ang apoy mula sa kalangitan at sinunog ang unang dalawang kapitan kasama ng kanilang mga tauhan, pero ngayon hayaan mo sana na maging mahalaga ang buhay ko sa iyong paningin.”
Behold, fire from heaven descended and devoured the two previous leaders of fifty and the fifties who were with them. But now I beg you to take pity on my life.”
15 Kaya nagsabi ang anghel ni Yahweh kay Elias, “Bumaba ka kasama niya. Huwag kang matakot sa kaniya.” Kaya tumayo si Elias at bumaba kasama niya papunta sa hari.
Then the Angel of the Lord spoke to Elijah, saying, “Descend with him; fear not.” And so, he arose and descended with him to the king.
16 Pagkatapos, sinabi ni Elias kay Ahazias, “Ito ang sinabi ni Yahweh, 'Nagpadala ka ng mga mensahero para sumangguni kay Baal-zebub ang diyos ng Ekron? Dahil ba walang Diyos sa Israel na maaari mong tanungan ng kaalaman? Kaya ngayon, hindi ka na makakabangon sa hingaan kung saan ka bumabangon; sa halip, tiyak kang mamamatay.”
And he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Because you sent messengers to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron, as if there were no God in Israel, from whom you would be able to seek a word, therefore, from the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.”
17 Kaya namatay si Haring Ahazias ayon sa mga salita ni Yahweh na binanggit ni Elias. Nagsimulang maghari si Joram kapalit niya, sa ikalawang taon, si Jehoram anak ni Jehoshafat ang naging hari ng Juda, dahil walang anak si Ahazias.
And so he died, in accord with the word of the Lord, which Elijah spoke. And Jehoram, his brother, reigned in his place, in the second year of Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah. For he had no son.
18 Para sa ibang mga bagay na tungkol kay Ahazias, hindi ba sila nakasulat sa Aklat ng mga Kaganapan sa buhay ng mga Hari ng Israel?
But the rest of the words of Ahaziah that he worked, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
