2 Mga Hari 3
1 Ngayon sa ikalabing walong taon na paghahari ni haring Jehosafat hari ng Juda, si Joram anak ni Ahab ay nagsimulang maghari sa buong Israel sa Samaria; naghari siya ng labindalawang taon.
And Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; and he reigned twelve years.
2 Gumawa siya ng kasamaan sa paningin ni Yahweh, pero hindi gaya ng kaniyang ama at ina; dahil tinanggal niya ang sagradong posteng bato ni Baal na ginawa ng kaniyang ama.
And he wrought evil in the sight of Jehovah, but not like his father, and like his mother; and he took away the column of Baal that his father had made.
3 Gayun pa man, sumunod siya sa mga kasalanan ni Jeroboam anak ni Nebat, na nagsanhi sa Israel na magkasala; hindi siya lumayo sa kanila.
Only, he clave to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat who made Israel to sin: he did not depart therefrom.
4 Ngayon, nagparami ng tupa si Mesa hari ng Moab. Kailangan niyang magbigay sa hari ng Israel ng 100, 000 kordero at 100, 000 ng balahibo ng tupa.
And Mesha king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs and a hundred thousand rams, with the wool.
5 Pero pagkatapos mamatay ni haring Ahab, nagrebelde ang hari ng Moab laban sa hari ng Israel.
And it came to pass when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
6 Kaya sa oras na iyon, iniwan si Haring Joram ang Samaria para tipunin ang mga Israelita para sa digmaan.
And at that time king Jehoram went out of Samaria and inspected all Israel.
7 Nagpadala siya ng mensahe kay Jehosafat hari ng Juda, nagsasabing, “nagrebelde ang hari ng Moab laban sa akin. Sasamahan mo ba ako sa labanan sa Moab?” Sumagot si Jehosafat, “Pupunta ako. Ikaw at ako ay iisa, ang aking bayan ay iyong bayan, ang aking mga kabayo ay iyong mga kabayo.”
And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah saying, The king of Moab has rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as thou, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.
8 Pagkatapos kaniyang sinabi, “Saang daanan tayo lulusob?” sumagot si Jehosafat, “Sa daanan sa disyerto ng Edom.”
And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he said, By way of the wilderness of Edom.
9 Kaya ang mga hari ng Israel, Juda, at Edom ay naglakad nang halos paikot ng pitong araw. Walang tubig ang matagpuan para sa mga hukbo, ni para sa mga kabayo o ibang mga hayop.
And the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom, and they made a circuit of seven days' journey. And there was no water for the army, and for the cattle that followed them.
10 Kaya sinabi ng hari ng Israel, “Ano ito? Tinawag ba ni Yahweh ang tatlong hari ng magkakasama para talunin ng Moab?”
And the king of Israel said, Alas! that Jehovah has called these three kings together, to give them into the hand of Moab!
11 Pero sinabi ni Jehosafat, “Wala ba ritong propeta ni Yahweh, para makapagsangguni tayo kay Yahweh sa pamamagitan niya?” Isa sa mga alipin ng hari ng Israel ang sumagot at sinabi, “Nandito si Eliseo anak ni Safat, ang nagbuhos ng tubig sa mga kamay ni Elias.”
And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah that we may inquire of Jehovah by him? And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.
12 Sinabi ni Jehosafat, “Nasasakaniya ang salita ni Yahweh.” Kaya pinuntahan siya ni Jehosafat hari ng Israel, at ng hari ng Edom.
And Jehoshaphat said, The word of Jehovah is with him. And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
13 Sinabi ni Eliseo sa hari ng Israel, “Ano ang kinalaman ko sa iyo? Pumunta ka sa mga propeta ng iyong ama at ina.” Kaya sinabi ng hari ng Israel sa kaniya, “Hindi, dahil tinawag kaming tatlong hari ni Yahweh, para matalo kami ng Moab.”
And Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? go to the prophets of thy father and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said to him, Not so, for Jehovah has called these three kings to give them into the hand of Moab.
14 Sumagot si Eliseo, “Hanggang nabubuhay si Yahweh ng mga hukbo, na siyang aking pinanaligan, kung hindi ko lang totoong ginagalang ang presensya ni Jehosafat hari ng Juda, ni hindi kita papansinin, o titingnan.
And Elisha said, As Jehovah of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee nor see thee.
15 Pero magdala kayo ngayon ng isang manunugtog.” At nang tapos na ang pagtugtog ng manunugtog ng alpa, lumapit ang kamay ni Yahweh kay Eliseo.
And now fetch me a minstrel. And it came to pass when the minstrel played, that the hand of Jehovah was upon him.
16 Sinabi niya, “Sinabi ito ni Yahweh, 'Gawan ninyo ang tuyong ilog na ito ng maraming kanal.'
And he said, Thus saith Jehovah: Make this valley full of ditches.
17 Dahil sinabi ito ni Yahweh, 'Hindi kayo makakakita ng hangin, ni makakakita ng ulan, pero mapupuno ng tubig ang ilog na ito, at iinom kayo, ikaw at inyong mga baka at lahat ng inyong mga alagang hayop.'
For thus saith Jehovah: Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet this valley shall be filled with water, and ye shall drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.
18 Madaling bagay lamang ito sa paningin ni Yahweh. Bibigyan niya din kayo ng tagumpay laban sa mga Moabita.
And this is a light thing in the sight of Jehovah: he will give the Moabites also into your hand.
19 Lulusob kayo sa bawat matitibay na lungsod at magagandang lungsod, puputulin ang bawat magagandang puno, ihihinto ang lahat ng tubig na bukal, at sisirain ang bawat magagandang bahagi ng lupain sa pamamagitan ng bato.”
And ye shall smite every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.
20 Kaya kinaumagahan, nang halos oras na ng paghahandog ng alay, dumating ang tubig sa direksyon ng Edom; napuno ang bansa ng tubig.
And it came to pass in the morning, when the oblation was offered up, that behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
21 Nang narinig ng lahat ng Moabita na dumating ang mga hari para lumaban sa kanila, tinipon nila ang kanilang mga sarili, lahat nang may kakayahan na magsuot ng baluti, at tumayo sila sa hangganan.
And all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, and they were called together, all that were able to put on armour, and upward, and stood by the border.
22 Gumising sila nang maaga at sumalamin ang araw sa tubig. Nang nakita ito ng mga Moabita, ang tubig sa kanilang banda, mukhang kasing pula ng dugo.
And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun rose upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side red as blood.
23 Sumigaw sila, “Dugo ito! Tiyak na nawasak na ang mga hari, at pinatay nila ang isa't-isa! Kaya ngayon, Moab, Nakawan na natin sila!”
And they said, This is blood: the kings are entirely destroyed, and have smitten one another; and now, Moab, to the spoil!
24 Nang dumating sila sa kampo ng Israel, binigla sila ng mga Israelita at nilusob ang mga Moabita, na tumakas mula sa kanila. Hinabol ng mga hukbo ng Israel ang mga Moabita sa kabilang lupain at pinatay sila.
And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, and they fled before them; and they entered in and smote Moab.
25 Winasak ng Israel ang mga lungsod, at sa bawat magagandang bahagi ng lupain, naghahagis ang bawat tao ng bato at napuno ng bato ang mayabong na mga sakahan. Pinahinto nila ang lahat ng bukal ng tubig at pinutol ang lahat ng magagandang puno, maliban lamang sa Kir-Haseret, kung saan iniwan nila ang mga bato sa lugar. Pero inatake ito ng mga sundalong may tirador.
And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone and filled it, and they stopped every well of water, and felled every good tree, until they left [only] the stones at Kirhareseth; and the slingers went about it, and smote it.
26 Nang nakita ni Haring Mesa ng Moab na natalo na sila sa laban, sinama niya ang pitong-daan na mga lalaking gumagamit ng espada para lusubin ang hari ng Edom, pero nabigo sila.
And the king of Moab saw that the battle was too severe for him, and he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through to the king of Edom, but they could not.
27 Pagkatapos, sinama niya ang kaniyang panganay, na maghahari sana pagkatapos niya, hinandog niya ito bilang susunuging alay sa pader. Kaya nagkaroon ng labis na galit laban sa Israel, at iniwan ng hukbo ng Israelita si Haring Mesa at bumalik sa kanilang sariling lupain.
And he took his eldest son, that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him up for a burnt-offering upon the wall. And there was great wrath against Israel; and they departed from him, and returned to [their own] land.
