2 Mga Hari 6
1 Sinabi ng mga anak ng mga propeta kay Eliseo, “Ang lugar kung saan kami nakatira kasama ka ay masyadong maliit para sa ating lahat.
The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, "See now, the place where we dwell before you is too small for us.
2 Hayaan mo kaming pumunta sa Jordan, at magputol ng puno roon at magtayo ng matitirahan.” Tumugon si Eliseo sinabing, “Sige.”
Please let us go to the Jordan, and every man take a beam from there, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell." He answered, "Go."
3 Sinabi ng isa sa kanila, “Pakiusap samahan mo ang iyong mga lingkod.” Sumagot si Eliseo, “Sasama ako.”
One said, "Please be pleased to go with your servants." He answered, "I will go."
4 Kaya sumama siya sa kanila, at nang makarating sila sa Jordan, nag-umpisa silang magputol ng mga puno.
So he went with them. When they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.
5 Pero habang nagpuputol ang isa sa kanila, nalaglag ang ulo ng palakol sa tubig; sumigaw siya at sinabinig, “Naku, panginoon, hiniram ko lang iyon!”
But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water. Then he cried, and said, "Alas, my master. For it was borrowed."
6 Kaya sinabi ng lingkod ng Diyos, “Saan ito nahulog?” Tinuro ng lalaki kay Eliseo ang lugar. Pumutol siya ngayon siya ng isang patpat, tinapon ito sa tubig at pinalutang ang palakol.
The man of God asked, "Where did it fall?" He showed him the place. He cut down a stick, threw it in there, and made the iron float.
7 Sinabi ni Eliseo, “Kunin mo.” Kaya inabot ito ng lalaki ng kaniyang kamay.
He said, "Take it." So he put out his hand and took it.
8 Ngayon nakikipagdigma ang hari ng Aram laban sa Israel. Sumangguni siya sa kaniyang mga lingkod, sinasabing, “Ang kampo ko ay nasa ganitong lugar.”
Now the king of Aram was warring against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, "My camp will be in such and such a place."
9 Kaya nagpunta ang lingkod ng Diyos sa hari ng Israel, sinasabing, “Sikapin ninyong hindi dumaan sa lugar na iyon, dahil ang mga Aramean ay bababa roon.”
The man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, "Beware that you not pass such a place; for the Arameans are coming down there."
10 Pagkatapos nagpadala ang hari ng Israel ng mga tauhan sa lugar na iyon kung saan binalaan siya ng lingkod ng Diyos. Iniligtas siya ng babalang iyon ng ilang beses.
The king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he saved himself there, not once nor twice.
11 Gulong-gulo ang isip ng hari ng Aram dahil sa babalang ito, at tinawag niya ang kaniyang mga lingkod at sinabi sa kanila, “Wala ba sa inyo ang magsasabi kung sino sa inyo ang pumapanig sa hari ng Israel?”
The heart of the king of Aram was very troubled about this. He called his servants, and said to them, "Won't you show me which of us is for the king of Israel?"
12 Kaya sinabi ng isa sa kaniyang mga lingkod, “Hindi, panginoong hari, dahil si Eliseo na propeta ng Israel ang nagsasabi sa hari ng Israel ng mga sinasabi mo sa iyong silid!”
One of his servants said, "No, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom."
13 Tumugon ang hari, “Humayo kayo at tingnan ninyo kung nasaan si Eliseo nang makapagpadala ako ng mga tauhan para dakpin siya.” At sinabi sa kaniya, “Nasa Dotan siya.”
He said, "Go and see where he is, that I may send and get him." It was told him, saying, "Look, he is in Dothan."
14 Kaya nagpadala ang hari ng mga kabayo, mga karwahe at isang malaking hukbo sa Dotan. Dumating sila nang gabi at pinalibutan ang lungsod.
Therefore he sent horses, chariots, and a great army there. They came by night, and surrounded the city.
15 Nang ang alipin ng lingkod ng Diyos ay maagang bumangon at lumabas, pagmasdan mo, isang malaking hukbo at mga kabayo ang nakapaligid sa lungsod. Sinabi ng kaniyang alipin sa kaniya, “Panginoon! Anong gagawin natin?”
When the servant of the man of God had risen early, and gone out, look, an army with horses and chariots was around the city. His servant said to him, "Alas, my master. What shall we do?"
16 Sumagot si Eliseo, “Huwag kang matakot, dahil ang mga kasama natin ay higit na mas marami kumpara sa kanila.”
He answered, "Do not be afraid; for those who are with us are more than those who are with them."
17 Nanalangin si Eliseo at sinabing, “Yahweh, Nakiki-usap ako na buksan mo ang mga mata niya nang makakita siya.” Kaya't binuksan ni Yahweh ang mga mata ng kaniyang alipin at nakakita siya. Ang bundok ay puno ng mga kabayo at karwahe na nag-aapoy sa paligid ni Eliseo!
Then Elisha prayed and said, "YHWH, please open his eyes, that he may see." YHWH opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and look, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha.
18 Nang bumaba ang mga Aramean sa kaniya, nanalangin si Eliseo kay Yahweh at sinabing, “Hinihiling kong bulagin mo sila.” Kaya't binulag sila ni Yahweh, gaya ng hiling ni Eliseo.
When they came down to him, Elisha prayed to YHWH, and said, "Please strike this people with blindness." He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
19 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Eliseo sa mga Aramean, “Hindi ito ang daan, ni ito ang lungsod. Sumunod kayo sa akin at dadalhin ko kayo sa taong hinahanap ninyo.” At dinala niya sila sa Samaria.
Elisha said to them, "This is not the way, neither is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek." He led them to Samaria.
20 Nang dumating sila sa Samaria, sinabi ni Eliseo, “Buksan mo ang mga mata nila, Yahweh, nang makakita sila.” Binuksan ni Yahweh ang mga mata nila at nakakita sila, at nakita nilang nasa gitna sila ng lungsod ng Samaria.
It happened, when they had come into Samaria, that Elisha said, "YHWH, open the eyes of these men, that they may see." YHWH opened their eyes, and they saw; and look, they were in the midst of Samaria.
21 Nang makita sila ng hari ng Israel, sinabi niya kay Eliseo, “Ama, dapat ko na ba silang patayin? Papatayin ko na ba sila?”
The king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, "My father, shall I strike them? Shall I strike them?"
22 Sumagot si Eliseo, “Huwag mo silang patayin. Papatayin mo ba silang mga kinuha mong bihag gamit ang espada at pana mo? Maghain ka ng tinapay at tubig sa kanila para makakain at makainom sila at makapunta sa kanilang panginoon.”
He answered, "You shall not strike them. Would you strike those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master."
23 Kaya't naghain ng pagkain ang hari para sa kanila, at nang nakakain at nakainom sila, pinalaya niya sila at pinabalik sa kanilang panginoon. Ang mga grupo ng sundalong Aramean na iyon ay hindi bumalik sa lupain ng Israel nang mahabang panahon.
He prepared great feast for them. When they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. The bands of Aram stopped raiding the land of Israel.
24 Matapos nito, tinipon ni Ben Hadad, hari ng Aram, ang lahat ng kaniyang hukbo at lumusob sa Samaria at binihag ito.
It happened after this, that Benhadad king of Aram gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria.
25 Kaya't nagkaroon ng matinding taggutom sa Samaria. Binihag nila ito hanggang ang isang asno ay maibenta sa halagang walumpung pirasong pilak, at ikaapat na bahagi ng isang kab ng dumi ng kalapati sa halagang limang pirasong pilak.
There was a great famine in Samaria. Look, they besieged it, until a donkey's head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.
26 Habang dumadaan ang hari ng Israel sa may pader, isang babae ang umiyak sa kaniya, sinasabing, “Tulungan mo ako, panginoong hari.”
As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, saying, "Help, my lord, O king."
27 Sinabi niya, “Kung hindi ka tinutulungan ni Yahweh, paano kita matutulungan? Mayroon bang nanggagaling sa giikan o pigaan ng alak?”
He said, "If YHWH doesn't help you, from where could I help you? From of the threshing floor, or from the winepress?"
28 Sinabi pa ng hari, “Ano ang bumabagabag sa iyo?” Tumugon siya, “Sinabi ng babeng ito sa akin, 'Ibigay mo sa akin ang iyong anak para kainin natin ngayon, at bukas kakainin natin ang anak ko.'”
The king said to her, "What ails you?" She answered, "This woman said to me, 'Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.'
29 Kaya't nilaga namin ang anak ko at kinain ito, at sinabi ko sa kaniya kinabukasan, “'Ibigay mo sa akin ang iyong anak para kainin natin, pero tinago niya ito.”
So we boiled my son, and ate him: and I said to her on the next day, 'Give your son, that we may eat him;' and she has hidden her son."
30 Kaya nang narinig ng hari ang sinabi ng babae, pinunit niya ang kaniyang damit (dumadaan siya sa may pader), at tumingin ang mga tao at nakita na mayroon siyang sako bilang panloob na kasuotan.
It happened, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he tore his clothes. Now he was passing by on the wall, and the people looked and saw that he had sackcloth against his skin.
31 Sinabi niya, “Parusahan nawa ako ng Diyos, at lalong higit pa, kung matatapos ang araw na nananatili pa rin ang ulo ni Eliseo sa kaniya, anak ni Safat.”
Then he said, "God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stay on him this day."
32 Pero nakaupo si Eliseo sa kaniyang bahay kasama ng mga nakatatanda. Nagpadala ng tao ang hari pero nang dumating ang mensahero kay Eliseo, sinabi niya sa mga nakatatanda, “Tingnan ninyo kung paanong nagpadala ng tao ang anak ng mamamatay-tao na ito para patayin ako? Kapag dumating siya, isara ninyo ang pinto at pigilan ninyong mabuksan niya ito. Hindi ba't kasunod niya ay ang mga yapak ng kaniyang panginoon?”
But Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. Then the king sent a man from before him; but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, "Do you see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold the door shut against him. Isn't the sound of his master's feet behind him?"
33 Habang nakikipag-usap siya sa kanila, dumating ang mensahero sa kaniya. Sinabi ng hari, “Ang suliraning ito ay galing kay Yahweh. Bakit kailangan ko pang maghintay kay Yahweh?”
While he was still talking with them, look, the messenger came down to him. Then he said, "Look, this disaster is from YHWH. Why should I wait for YHWH any longer?"
