2 Mga Hari 1
1 Nang namatay si Ahab, nagrebelde ang Moab laban sa Israel.
After King Ahab died, [the country of] Moab rebelled 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.”
One day, Ahaziah, [the new king of Israel, ] fell through the wooden slats/boards around the edge of the flat roof [of his palace] in Samaria. He was badly injured, so he summoned some messengers and told them, “Go to Ekron [city in Philistia], and ask their god Baalzebub whether I will (recover/become well).”
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?
But an angel from Yahweh said to Elijah, the prophet from Tishbe [town], “The king of Samaria [is sending] some messengers [to Ekron]. Go and meet them and say to them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to Ekron to ask Baalzebub, the god of those people, [whether you will recover]?
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.
Yahweh says [that you should tell King Ahaziah] that he will not recover from his being injured; he will surely die.’”
5 Nang bumalik ang mga mensahero kay Ahazias, sinabi niya sa kanila, “Bakit kayo bumalik?”
[So Elijah went to meet] the messengers [and told that to them, and they] returned to the king [instead of going to Ekron]. The king asked them, “Why did you return [so soon]?”
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.”
They replied, “A man came to meet us, and said to us, ‘Return to the king who sent you and tell him that Yahweh says, “(Is it because there no God in Israel that you are sending [messengers] to Ekron to consult Baalzebub, their god?/You seem to think there is no God in Israel, with the result that you are sending [messengers] to Ekron to ask Baalzebub, their god, [whether you will recover].) [RHQ] [Go tell the king that] he will not recover from being injured; instead, he will surely die.”’”
7 Sinabi ni Ahazias sa kaniyang mga mensahero, “Anong klaseng tao siya, ang taong lumapit sa inyo at sinabi ang mga salitang ito?
The king said to them, “The man who came to meet you and told that to you, what did he look like?”
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.”
They replied, “He was a hairy man and he had a [wide] leather belt around his waist.” The king exclaimed, “That was Elijah!”
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.'”
Then the king sent an officer with 50 soldiers to seize Elijah. They found Elijah sitting on the top of a hill. The officer called out to him, “Prophet, the king commands that you come down here!”
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.
But Elijah replied, “I am a prophet; so, I command that fire come down from the sky and burn up you and your 50 soldiers!” Immediately, fire came down from the sky and completely burned up the officer and his 50 [soldiers].
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.'”
[When the king found out about that, ] he sent another officer with 50 more soldiers. They went [to where Elijah was], and the officer called out to him, “Prophet, the king commands that you come down immediately!”
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.
But Elijah replied, “I am a prophet; [to prove that, ] I command that fire come down from the sky and kill you and your soldiers!” Then a fire from God came down from the sky and killed the officer and his soldiers.
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.
[When the king heard about that] he sent another officer with 50 more soldiers. [They went to where Elijah was], and the officer prostrated himself in front of Elijah, and said to him, “Prophet, I plead with you, be kind to me and my 50 soldiers, and (do not kill us/allow us to remain alive)!
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.”
[We know that] two times fire came down from the sky and killed officers and the 50 soldiers who were with them. So now, please be kind to me!”
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 from Yahweh said to Elijah, “Go down [and go] with him. Do not be afraid of him.” So Elijah went with them 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.”
[When Elijah arrived, ] he said to the king, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You sent messengers to go to Ekron to ask Baalzebub, their god, [whether you would recover]. You acted as though [RHQ] there is no God in Israel to consult. So you will not recover from being injured; instead, you are going to 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.
So Ahaziah died, which is what Yahweh told Elijah would happen. Ahaziah’s [younger] brother Joram became the new king, when Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, had been ruling Judah for almost two years. Ahaziah’s brother became the king because Ahaziah had no son [to become the king].
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?
[If you want to know about] all the other things that Ahaziah did, they are [RHQ] written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
