Kings II 17
1 And Achitophel said to Abessalom, Let me now choose out for myself twelve thousand men, and I will arise and follow after David this night:
Bukod dito'y sinabi ni Achitophel kay Absalom, Papiliin mo ako ng labing dalawang libong lalake, at ako'y titindig at aking hahabulin si David sa gabing ito:
2 and I will come upon him when he [is] weary and weak-handed, and I will strike him with terror; and all the people with him shall flee, and I will strike the king only of all.
At ako'y darating sa kaniya samantalang siya'y pagod at may mahinang kamay, at akin siyang tatakutin: at ang buong bayan na nasa kaniya ay tatakas; at ang hari lamang ang aking sasaktan:
3 And I will bring back all the people to you, as a bride returns to her husband: only you seek the life of one man, and all the people shall have peace.
At aking ibabalik sa iyo ang buong bayan: ang lalake na iyong inuusig ay parang kung ang lahat ay nagbabalik: sa gayo'y ang buong bayan ay mapapayapa.
4 And the saying [was] right in the eyes of Abessalom, and in the eyes of all the elders of Israel.
At ang sabi ay nakalugod na mabuti kay Absalom, at sa lahat ng matanda sa Israel.
5 And Abessalom said, Call now also Chusi the Arachite, and let us hear what [is] in his mouth, even in his also.
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Absalom, Tawagin mo naman ngayon si Husai na Arachita, at atin ding dinggin ang kaniyang sasabihin.
6 And Chusi went in to Abessalom, and Abessalom spoke to him, saying, After this manner spoke Achitophel: shall we do according to his word? but if not, do you speak.
At nang dumating si Husai kay Absalom, ay sinalita ni Absalom sa kaniya, na sinasabi, Nagsalita si Achitophel ng ganitong paraan: atin bang gagawin ang ayon sa kaniyang sabi? Kung hindi, magsalita ka.
7 And Chusi said to Abessalom, This counsel which Achitophel has counselled this one time [is] not good.
At sinabi ni Husai kay Absalom, Ang payo na ibinigay ni Achitophel ngayon ay hindi mabuti.
8 And Chusi said, You know your father and his men, that they are very mighty, and bitter in their spirit, as a bereaved bear in the field, [and as a wild boar in the plain]: and your father [is] a man of war, and will not give the people rest.
Sinabi ni Husai bukod sa rito, Iyong kilala ang iyong Ama at ang kaniyang mga lalake, na sila'y makapangyarihang lalake at sila'y nagngingitngit sa kanilang mga pagiisip na gaya ng isang oso na ninakawan sa parang ng kaniyang mga anak: at ang iyong ama ay lalaking mangdidigma, at hindi tatahan na kasama ng bayan.
9 For, behold, he is now hidden in one of the hills or in some [other] place: and it shall come to pass when he falls upon them at the beginning, that [some one] will certainly hear, and say, There has been a slaughter amongst the people that follow after Abessalom.
Narito, siya'y nagkukubli ngayon sa isang hukay o sa ibang dako: at mangyayari, na pagka ang ilan sa kanila ay nabuwal sa pasimula, sinomang makarinig ay magsasabi, May patayan sa bayang sumusunod kay Absalom.
10 Then even he [that is] strong, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, —it shall utterly melt: for all Israel knows that your father [is] mighty, and they that are with him [are] mighty men.
At pati ng matapang, na ang puso ay gaya ng puso ng leon, ay lubos na manglulupaypay: sapagka't kilala ng buong Israel na ang iyong ama ay makapangyarihang lalake, at sila na nasa kaniya ay matatapang na lalake.
11 For thus I have surely given counsel, that all Israel be generally gathered to you from Dan even to Bersabee, as the sand that is upon the sea-shore for multitude: and that your presence go in the midst of them.
Nguni't aking ipinapayo na ang buong Israel ay mapisan sa iyo, mula sa Dan hanggang sa Beer-seba, na gaya ng buhangin na nasa tabi ng dagat ang dami; at ikaw ay pumaroon sa pagbabaka ng iyong sariling pagkatao.
12 And we will come upon him in one of the places where we shall find him, and we will encamp against him, as the dew falls upon the earth; and we will not leave of him and of his men so much as one.
Sa gayo'y aabutin natin siya sa ibang dako na kasusumpungan natin sa kaniya, at tayo'y babagsak sa kaniya na gaya ng hamog na lumalapag sa lupa: at sa kaniya at sa lahat ng mga lalake na nasa kaniya ay hindi tayo magiiwan kahit isa.
13 And if he shall have taken refuge with his army in a city, then shall all Israel take ropes to that city, and we will draw it even into the river, that there may not be left there even a stone.
Bukod dito, kung siya'y umurong sa isang bayan, ang buong Israel ay magdadala nga ng mga lubid sa bayang yaon, at ating babatakin sa ilog, hanggang sa walang masumpungan doon kahit isang maliit na bato.
14 And Abessalom, and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Chusi the Arachite [is] better than the counsel of Achitophel. For the Lord ordained to disconcert the good counsel of Achitophel, that the Lord might bring all evil upon Abessalom.
At si Absalom at ang lahat na lalake sa Israel ay nagsipagsabi, Ang payo ni Husai na Arachita ay lalong mabuti kay sa payo ni Achitophel. Sapagka't ipinasiya ng Panginoon na masansala ang mabuting payo ni Achitophel, upang dalhin ng Panginoon ang kasamaan kay Absalom.
15 And Chusi the Arachite said to Sadoc and Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus Achitophel counselled Abessalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled.
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Husai kay Sadoc at kay Abiathar na mga saserdote. Ganito't ganito ang ipinayo ni Achitophel kay Absalom at sa mga matanda sa Israel; at ganito't ganito ang aking ipinayo.
16 And now send quickly and report to David, saying, Lodge not this night in Araboth of the wilderness: even go and make haste, lest [one] swallow up the king, and all the people with him.
Ngayon nga'y magsugo kang madali, at saysayin kay David, na sabihin, Huwag kang tumigil ng gabing ito sa mga tawiran sa ilang, kundi sa anomang paraan ay tumawid ka: baka ang hari ay mapatay at ang buong bayan na nasa kaniya.
17 And Jonathan and Achimaas stood by the well of Rogel, and a maidservant went and reported to them, and they go and tell king David; for they might not be seen to enter into the city.
Si Jonathan at si Ahimaas nga ay nagsitigil sa tabi ng Enrogel; at isang alilang babae ang pinaparoon at pinapagsaysay sa kanila; at sila'y nagsiparoon, at isinaysay sa haring kay David: sapagka't sila'y hindi makapakitang pumasok sa bayan.
18 But a young man saw them and told Abessalom: and the two went quickly, and entered into the house of a man in Baurim; and he had a well in his court, and they went down into it.
Nguni't nakita sila ng isang bata, at isinaysay kay Absalom: at sila'y kapuwa lumabas na nagmadali, at sila'y nagsiparoon sa bahay ng isang lalake sa Bahurim, na may isang balon sa kaniyang looban; at sila'y nagsilusong doon.
19 And a woman took a covering, and spread it over the mouth of the well, and spread out ground corn upon it to dry, and the thing was not known.
At ang babae ay kumuha ng isang panakip at inilatag sa bunganga ng balon, at nilagyan ng mga trigo na giniik; at walang bagay na naalaman.
20 And the servants of Abessalom came to the woman into the house, and said, Where [are] Achimaas and Jonathan? and the woman said to them, They are gone a little way beyond the water. And they sought and found them not, and returned to Jerusalem.
At ang mga bataan ni Absalom ay nagsidating sa babae sa bahay; at kanilang sinabi, Saan nandoon si Ahimaas at si Jonathan? At sinabi ng babae sa kanila, Sila'y tumawid sa batis ng tubig. At nang kanilang mahanap at hindi nila masumpungan ay bumalik sila sa Jerusalem.
21 And it came to pass after they were gone, that they came up out of the pit, and went on their way; and reported to king David, and said to David, Arise you and go quickly over the water, for thus has Achitophel counselled concerning you.
At nangyari, pagkatapos na sila'y makaalis, na sila'y nagsilabas sa balon, at nagsiyaon at isinaysay sa haring kay David: at kanilang sinabi kay David, Kayo'y magsibangon, at magsitawid na madali sa tubig: sapagka't ganito ang ipinayo ni Achitophel laban sa inyo.
22 And David rose up and all the people with him, and they passed over Jordan till the morning light; there was not one missing who did not pass over Jordan.
Nang magkagayo'y nagsibangon si David, at ang buong bayan na kasama niya, at sila'y tumawid sa Jordan; sa pagbubukang liwayway ay walang naiwan kahit isa sa kanila na hindi tumawid sa Jordan.
23 And Achitophel saw that his counsel was not followed, and he saddled his ass, and rose and departed to his house into his city; and he gave orders to his household, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
At nang makita ni Achitophel na ang kaniyang payo ay hindi sinunod, kaniyang siniyahan ang kaniyang asno, at bumangon, at umuwi siya sa bahay, sa kaniyang bayan at kaniyang inayos ang kaniyang bahay, at nagbigti; at siya'y namatay, at nalibing sa libingan ng kaniyang ama.
24 And David passed over to Manaim: and Abessalom crossed over Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
Nang magkagayon ay naparoon si David sa Mahanaim. At si Absalom ay tumawid sa Jordan, siya at ang lahat na lalake ng Israel na kasama niya.
25 And Abessalom appointed Amessai in the room of Joab over the host. And Amessai was the son of a man whose name was Jether of Jezrael: he went in to Abigaia the daughter of Naas, the sister of Saruia the mother of Joab.
At inilagay ni Absalom si Amasa sa hukbo na kahalili ni Joab. Si Amasa nga ay anak ng isang lalake na ang pangalan ay Itra, na Israelita, na sumiping kay Abigal na anak na babae ni Naas, na kapatid ni Sarvia, na ina ni Joab.
26 And all Israel and Abessalom encamped in the land of Galaad.
At ang Israel at si Absalom ay nagsihantong sa lupain ng Galaad.
27 And it came to pass when David came to Manaim, that Uesbi the son of Naas of Rabbath of the sons of Ammon, and Machir son of Amiel of Lodabar, and Berzelli the Galaadite of Rogellim,
At nangyari, ng si David ay dumating sa Mahanaim, na si Sobi na anak ni Naas na taga Rabba sa mga anak ni Ammon, at si Machir na anak ni Ammiel na taga Lodebar, at si Barzillai na Galaadita na taga Rogelim.
28 brought ten embroidered beds, (with double coverings, ) and ten cauldrons, and earthenware, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and meal, and beans, and pulse,
Ay nangagdala ng mga higaan, at mga mangkok, at mga sisidlang lupa, at trigo, at sebada, at harina, at butil na sinangag, at habas, at lentehas, at pagkain na sinangag.
29 and honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheeses of kine: and they brought them to David and to his people with him to eat; for [one] said, The people [is] faint and hungry and thirsty in the wilderness.
At pulot pukyutan, at mantekilya, at mga tupa, at keso ng baka para kay David, at sa bayan na kasama niya, upang kanin; sapagka't kanilang sinabi, Ang bayan ay gutom, at pagod, at uhaw sa ilang.
