2 Mga Hari 8
1 Ngayon nagsalita si Eliseo sa babae na ang anak ay kaniyang binuhay. Sinabi niya sa kaniya, “Bumangon ka, at pumunta sa iyong sambahayan, at manatili ka sa ibang lupain kung saan maaari, dahil magpapadala si Yahweh ng taggutom na darating sa lupaing ito ng pitong taon.”
After Elisha caused the son of the woman from Shunem [town] to become alive again, he told her that she should leave with her family and live somewhere else for a while, because Yahweh was going to (send a famine/cause food to become very scarce) in the land. He said that the famine would last for seven years.
2 Kaya bumangon ang babae at sinunod niya ang salita ng lingkod ng Diyos. Nagpunta siya sa kaniyang sambahayan at nanirahan sa lupain ng Filisteo ng pitong taon.
So the woman did what Elisha told her to do. She and her family went to live in [the] Philistia [region] for seven years.
3 Pagkatapos ng pitong taon bumalik ang babae mula sa lupain ng mga Filisteo, at siya ay pumunta sa hari para magmakaawa sa kaniya para sa kaniyang bahay at lupain.
After the seven years were ended, they returned to their home. The woman went to the king to request that her house and her land be given back to her.
4 Ngayon ang hari ay nakikipag-usap kay Gehazi na lingkod ng Diyos, sinasabing, “Pakiusap sabihin sa akin ang lahat ng dakilang bagay na nagawa ni Eliseo.”
When she arrived, the king was talking with Gehazi, Elisha’s servant. The king was saying to him, “Tell me all the great things that Elisha has done.”
5 Pagkatapos habang sinasabi niya sa hari kung paano binuhay ni Eliseo ang patay na anak, dumating ang babaeng ang anak ay kaniyang binuhay na nagmakaawa sa hari para sa kaniyang bahay at lupain. Sinabi ni Gehazi, “Aking panginoong, hari, ito ang babae, at ito ang kaniyang anak na lalaki, na binuhay ni Eliseo.”
While Gehazi was telling the king that Elisha had caused the son of a woman [from Shunem] to become alive again, that woman came in and requested the king to enable her to get her house and land back again. Gehazi exclaimed, “Your Majesty, this is the woman whose son Elisha caused to become alive again!”
6 Nang tanungin ng hari ang babae tungkol sa kaniyang anak, ipinaliwanag niya ito sa kaniya. Kaya iniutos ng hari sa isang opisyal para sa kaniya, sinasabing, “Ibalik sa kaniya ang lahat ng pag-aari niya at lahat ng mga ani ng kaniyang bukid mula nang araw na iniwan niya ang lupain hanggang ngayon.”
When the king asked her about it, she told him [that what Gehazi had said was true]. The king summoned one of his officials and said to him, “[I want] everything that this woman possessed previously, including the value of all the crops that have been harvested during these last seven years while she was away from her land, [to] be given back to her.” [So the official did that].
7 Nagpunta si Eliseo sa Damasco kung saan si Ben-Hadad ang hari ng Aram ay may sakit. Sinabi sa hari, “Ang lingkod ng Diyos ay naparito.”
Elisha went to Damascus, [the capital of Syria], when Ben-Hadad, the king of Syria, was [very] sick. When someone told the king that Elisha was in Damascus,
8 Sinabi ng hari kay Hazael, “Magdala ka ng isang regalo at salubungin ang lingkod ng Diyos, at sumangguni kay Yahweh sa pamamagitan niya, sinasabing, 'Gagaling ba ako mula sa sakit na ito?”
the king told [one of his officials named] Hazael, “Go and talk to that prophet and take a present/gift with you to give to him. Request him to ask Yahweh if I will recover from my illness.”
9 Kaya nagpunta si Hazael para salubungin siya at dala niya ang isang regalo ng bawat uri ng mabubuting bagay sa Damasco, na dala ng apatnapung kamelyo. Kaya nagpunta si Hazael at tumayo sa harap ni Eliseo at sinabi, “Ipinadala ako sa iyo ng iyong anak na si Ben-Hadad hari ng Aram, tinatanong kung, 'Gagaling ba ako mula sa sakit na ito?”
So Hazael went to talk with Elisha. He took with him forty camels that were carrying many kinds of goods that were produced in Damascus. When Hazael met him, he said to him, “Your friend Ben-Hadad, the king of Syria, sent me to ask you whether [you think] he will recover from his illness.”
10 Sinabi ni Eliseo sa kaniya, “Lumakad ka, sabihin kay Ben-Hadad, 'Siguradong gagaling ka,' pero ipinakita sa akin ni Yahweh na siya ay siguradong mamamatay.”
Elisha said to Hazael, “Go and say to him, ‘Yes, you will certainly not die from this illness,’ but Yahweh has shown me that he will certainly die [before he recovers].”
11 Pagkatapos tumitig si Eliseo kay Hazael hanggang siya ay mapahiya, at ang lingkod ng Diyos ay umiyak.
Then Elisha stared at him and had a terrified look on his face. That caused Hazael to feel uneasy/embarrassed. Then [suddenly] Elisha started to cry.
12 Tinanong ni Hazael, “Bakit ka umiiyak, aking panginoon?” Kaniyang sinagot, “Dahil nalalaman ko ang kasamaan na iyong gagawin sa bayan ng Israel. Susunugin mo ang kanilang mga kutang tanggulan, at papatayin mo ang kanilang mga kabataang lalaki gamit ang espada, dudurugin ang kanilang mga maliliit na bata, at bibiyakin ang tiyan ng kanilang babaeng buntis.”
Hazael said, “Sir, why are you crying?” Elisha replied, “Because [Yahweh has enabled] me [to] know the terrible things that you will do to the people of Israel: You will burn their cities with walls around them, you will kill their fine young men with a sword, you will bash the heads of their children, and you will rip open the bellies of their pregnant women [with a sword].”
13 Tumugon si Hazael, “Sino ang iyong lingkod, na dapat gumawa nitong dakilang bagay? Siya ay isang aso lamang.” Sumagot si Eliseo, “Ipinakita sa akin ni Yahweh na ikaw ang maghahari sa Aram,”
Hazael replied, “I am [as insignificant as] [MET] a dog; (how could I do such things?/I would never do such terrible things!)” [RHQ] Elisha replied, “Yahweh has also revealed to me that you will become the king of Syria.”
14 Pagkatapos iniwan ni Hazael si Eliseo at nagpunta sa kaniyang panginoon, na sinabi sa kaniya, “Ano ang sinabi ni Eliseo sa iyo?” Sumagot siya, “Sinabi niya sa akin na ikaw ay tiyak na gagaling.”
Then Hazael left and returned to his master/boss [the king], who asked him, “What did Elisha say?” He replied, “He told me that you would certainly recover.”
15 Nang sumunod na araw kinuha Hazael ang kumot at nilublob ito sa tubig, at inilatag ito sa mukha ni Ben-Hadad kaya siya ay namatay. Pagkatapos si Hazael ay naging hari na kapalit niya.
But the next day, [while the king was sleeping, ] Hazael took a blanket and soaked it in water. Then he spread it on the king’s face [in order that he could not breathe], and he died. Then Hazael became the king of Syria instead of Ben-Hadad.
16 Sa ikalimang taon ni Joram anak ni Ahab, hari ng Israel, nagsimulang maghari si Jehoram. Siya ang anak ni Jehosafat hari ng Juda. Nagsimula siyang maghari nang si Jehoshafat ay hari ng Juda.
After King Joram, the son of Ahab, had been ruling in Israel for almost five years, Jehoshaphat’s son Jehoram became the king of Judah.
17 Si Jehoram ay tatlumput-dalawang taong gulang nang siya ay magsimulang maghari, at naghari siya ng walong taon sa Jerusalem.
He was thirty-two years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eight years.
18 Lumakad si Jehoram sa mga pamamaraan ng mga hari ng Israel, tulad ng ginawa ng sambahayan ni Ahab; dahil ang anak na babae ni Ahab ay kaniyang asawa, at ginawa niya kung ano ang masama sa paningin ni Yahweh.
His wife was the daughter of King Ahab. And like everyone in Ahab’s family, he continually did the evil things that the previous kings of Israel had done. He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil.
19 Gayunman, dahil sa kaniyang lingkod na si David, hindi nais ni Yahweh na wasakin ang Juda, dahil sinabi niya sa kaniya na bibigyan siya lagi ng mga kaapu-apuhan.
But Yahweh did not want to get rid of the people of Judah, because of what he had promised David, who served him [very well]. He had promised David that his descendants [MET] would always rule Judah.
20 Sa mga panahon ni Jehoram, naghimagsik ang Edom mula sa ilalim ng kamay ng Juda, at nagtayo sila ng isang hari para manguna sa kanila.
During the time that Jehoram ruled, [the king of] Edom rebelled against Judah, and they appointed their own king.
21 Pagkatapos tumawid si Jehoram kasama ang kaniyang mga pinuno at lahat ng kaniyang mga karwahe. Nangyari ito nang siya ay nagising sa gabi at sinalakay at tinalo ang mga Edomita, na pumaligid sa kaniya at ang mga pinuno ng mga karwahe. Pagkatapos tumakas ang hukbo ni Jehoram papunta sa kanilang mga tahanan.
So Jehoram went with his army and all their chariots to Zair [city near the border of Edom]. There the army of Edom surrounded them. But during the night, Jehoram and the commanders in their chariots were able to get through the enemy lines and escaped. And all his soldiers also fled to their homes.
22 Kaya naghihimagsik ang Edom mula sa kapangyarihan ng Juda hanggang sa araw na ito. Naghihimagsik din ang Libna sa panahon ding iyon.
So after that, Edom was no longer controlled by Judah, and it is still like that. During that same time, the people of Libnah [city] also freed themselves from being controlled by Judah.
23 Gaya ng ibang mga bagay tungkol kay Jehoram, ang lahat niyang ginawa, hindi ba nakasulat ang mga ito sa Ang Aklat ng mga Kaganapan sa buhay ng mga Hari ng Juda?
[If you want to read about] the other things that Jehoram did, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
24 Namatay si Jehoram at nahimlay kasama ang kaniyang mga ninuno, at inilibing kasama ang kaniyang mga ninuno sa lungsod ni David. Pagkatapos ang anak ni Ahazias ang naging hari na kapalit niya.
Jehoram died [EUP] and was buried where the other kings of Judah had been buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then Jehoram’s son Ahaziah became the king.
25 Nang ikalabindalawang taon ni Joram anak ni Ahab, hari ng Israel, si Ahazias anak ni Jehoram, hari ng Juda, ay nagsimulang maghari.
After Ahab’s son Joram has been ruling in Israel for almost twelve years, Jehoram’s son Ahaziah became the king of Judah.
26 Si Ahazias ay dalawamput-dalawang taong gulang nang magsimulang maghari; naghari siya ng isang taon sa Jerusalem. Ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina ay si Atalia; siya ay anak na babae ni Omri, hari ng Israel.
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he started to rule. He ruled in Jerusalem for [only] one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, [the daughter of King Ahab and] the granddaughter of King Omri of Israel.
27 Lumakad si Ahazias sa pamamaraan ng sambahayan ni Ahab; ginawa niya kung ano ang masama sa paningin ni Yahweh, gaya ng ginagawa ng sambahayan ni Ahab, dahil si Ahazias ay isang manugang na lalaki sa sambahayan ni Ahab.
King Ahab conducted his life just like the members of Ahab’s family had done. He did things that Yahweh considered to be very evil.
28 Pumunta si Ahazias kasama si Joram anak ni Ahab, para makipaglaban kay Hazael, hari ng Aram, sa Ramoth-galaad. Sinugatan ng mga Aramean si Joram.
Ahaziah’s army joined the army of King Joram of Israel to fight against the army of King Hazael of Syria. Their armies started fighting at Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region], and the soldiers of Syria wounded Joram.
29 Nagbalik si Haring Joram para magpagaling sa Jezreel sa mga sugat na ginawa ng mga Aramean sa kaniya sa Rama, nang nakipaglaban siya kay Hazael hari ng Aram. Kaya si Ahazias anak ni Jehoram, hari ng Juda, ay bumababa sa Jezreel para makita si Joram anak ni Ahab, dahil siya ay nasugatan.
King Joram returned to Jezreel [city] to recover from his wounds. King Ahaziah went to visit him there.
