2 Samuel 15
1 Then, after these things, Absalom obtained for himself chariots, and horsemen, and fifty men who went before him.
Pagkatapos nito naghanda si Absalom ng isang karo at mga kabayo para sa kaniyang sarili, kasama ang limampung tauhan para tumakbo sa kaniyang unahan.
2 And rising up in the morning, Absalom was standing beside the entrance of the gate. And when there was any man who had a dispute that might go before the king’s judgment, Absalom would call him to him, and would say, “Which city are you from?” And responding, he would say, “I am your servant, from a certain tribe of Israel.”
Babangon ng maaga si Absalom at tatayo sa tabi ng daang papasok sa tarangkahan ng lungsod. Kapag pumunta sa hari ang sinumang may isang alitan para sa paghahatol, sa gayon tatawagin siya ni Absalom at sasabihing, “Mula sa anong lungsod ka galing?” At sasagot ang lalaki, “Nanggaling ang iyong lingkod sa isa sa mga lipi ng Israel.”
3 And Absalom would answer him: “Your words seem good and just to me. But there is no one appointed by the king to hear you.” And Absalom would say:
Kaya sasabihin ni Absalom sa kaniya, “Tingnan mo, mabuti at tama ang iyong kaso, pero walang isang binigyan ang hari ng kapangyarihan para dinggin ang iyong kaso.”
4 “Who may appoint me judge over the land, so that all those who have a dispute might come to me, and I might judge justly.”
Idinagdag ni Absalom, “Nais kong maging hukom ako sa lupain, para ang bawat taong may anumang alitan o dahilan ay maaaring makalapit sa akin at bibigyan ko siya ng katarungan!”
5 Then too, when a man would draw near to him, so that he might greet him, he would extend his hand, and taking hold of him, he would kiss him.
Nangyari ito ng may papalapit na isang tao kay Absalom para parangalan siya, iaabot ni Absalom ang kaniyang kamay at hahawakan siya at hahalikan siya.
6 And he was doing this to all those of Israel arriving for judgment to be heard by the king. And he solicited the hearts of the men of Israel.
Kumilos si Absalom sa ganitong paraan sa buong Israel na pumupunta sa hari para sa paghahatol. Kaya nakuha ni Absalom ang mga puso ng kalalakihan ng Israel.
7 Then, after forty years, Absalom said to king David: “I should go and pay my vows, which I have vowed to the Lord at Hebron.
Pagkatapos ng apat na taon sinabi ni Absalom sa hari, “Pakiusap pahintulutan mo akong umalis at tuparin ang isang panatang aking ginawa kay Yahweh sa Hebron.
8 For your servant made a vow, when he was in Geshur of Syria, saying: If the Lord will lead me back to Jerusalem, I will sacrifice to the Lord.”
Dahil gumawa ang iyong lingkod ng isang panata habang naninirahan ako sa Gesur sa Aram, sa pagsasabing; “Kung talagang dadalhin ulit ako ni Yahweh sa Jerusalem, sa gayon sasambahin ko si Yahweh.”'
9 And king David said to him, “Go in peace.” And he rose up and went away to Hebron.
Kaya sinabi ng hari sa kaniya, “Umalis nang mapayapa.” Kaya tumayo si Absalom at pumunta sa Hebron.
10 Then Absalom sent scouts into all the tribes of Israel, saying: “As soon as you hear the blare of the trumpet, say: ‘Absalom reigns in Hebron.’”
Pero pagkatapos nagpadala si Absalom ng mga espiya sa lahat ng mga lipi ng Israel, na nagsasabing, “Sa sandaling marinig ninyo ang tunog ng trumpeta, sa gayon dapat ninyong sabihin, 'Si Absalom ay hari sa Hebron.”'
11 Now having been called, two hundred men from Jerusalem went forth with Absalom, going in simplicity of heart and being entirely ignorant of the plan.
Kasama ni Absalom na pumunta ang dalawang-daang kalalakihang mula sa Jerusalem, na kaniyang inanyayahan. Pumunta sila nang walang kamalayan, walang nalalaman sa anumang bagay na binalak ni Absalom.
12 Absalom also summoned Ahithophel the Gilonite, a counselor of David, from his city, Giloh. And when he was immolating victims, a very strong oath was sworn, and the people, hurrying together, joined with Absalom.
Habang naghahandog si Absalom ng mga alay, ipinatawag niya si Ahitofel mula sa kaniyang bayang pinagmulan sa Gilo. Tagapayo siya ni David. Matindi ang pakikipagsabwatan ni Absalom, dahil patuloy na dumadami ang mga taong sumusunod kay Absalom.
13 Then a messenger went to David, saying, “With their whole heart, all of Israel is following Absalom.”
Isang mensahero ang dumating kay David na nagsasabing, “Sumusunod kay Absalom ang mga puso ng kalalakihan ng Israel.”
14 And David said to his servants, who were with him in Jerusalem: “Rise up, let us flee! For otherwise there will be no escape for us from the face of Absalom. Hurry to depart, lest perhaps, upon arriving, he may seize us, and force ruin upon us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”
Kaya sinabi ni David sa lahat ng kaniyang lingkod na kasama niya sa Jerusalem, “Tumayo at tumakas tayo, o walang isa sa atin ang makakaligtas mula kay Absalom. Maghanda para makaalis agad, o mabilis niya tayong maaabutan at magdadala siya ng kapahamakan sa atin at sasalakayin ang lungsod sa pamamagitan ng talim ng espada.”
15 And the servants of the king said to him, “Everything whatsoever that our lord the king will command, we your servants shall carry out willingly.”
Sinabi ng mga lingkod sa hari, “Tingnan, handa ang iyong mga lingkod na gawin ang anumang ipasya ng aming panginoong hari.”
16 Therefore, the king departed, with his entire household on foot. And the king left behind ten women of the concubines to care for the house.
Umalis ang hari kasunod ang pamilya niya ay kasunod niya, pero iniwan ng hari ang sampung babae na mga kerida, para pangalagaan ang palasyo.
17 And having gone forth on foot, the king and all of Israel stood at a distance from the house.
Pagkatapos makaalis ng hari at ng lahat ng taong kasunod niya, huminto sila sa huling bahay.
18 And all his servants were walking beside him. And the legions of the Cerethites and Phelethites, and all the Gittites, powerful fighters, six hundred men who had followed him from Gath on foot, were preceding the king.
Lumakad kasama niya ang kaniyang buong hukbo at nauna sa kaniya ang lahat ng mga taga-Ceret, at lahat ng taga-Pelet, at lahat ng taga-Gat ang lahat ng Peletheo at ang lahat ng Getheo—animnaraang kalalakihang sumunod sa kaniya ay mula sa Gat.
19 Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite: “Why do you come with us? Return and live with the king. For you are a stranger, and you departed from your own place.
Pagkatapos sinabi ng hari kay Itai ang taga- Gat, “Bakit sumama ka rin sa amin? Bumalik at manatili kasama ni Haring Absalom, dahil isa kang dayuhan at isang pinalayas. Bumalik sa iyong sariling lugar.
20 You arrived yesterday. And today should you be compelled to go away with us? For I should go to the place where I am going. But you should return, and lead your own brothers back with you. And the Lord will show mercy and truth to you, because you have shown grace and faith.”
Yamang kahapon ka lang umalis, bakit maglalakbay kami kasama ka? Hindi ko alam kung saan ako pupunta. Kaya bumalik at isama ang iyong kababayan pabalik. Nawa'y mapasaiyo ang katapatan at pagkamatapat.”
21 And Ittai responded to the king, by saying, “As the Lord lives, and as my lord the king lives, in whatever place you will be, my lord the king, whether in death or in life, your servant will be there.”
Pero sinagot ni Itai ang hari at sinabing, “Habang nabubuhay si Yahweh at habang nabubuhay ang aking among hari, tunay na kahit sa anumang lugar pumunta ang aking among hari, doon din pupunta ang iyong lingkod kahit mangahulugan ito ng buhay o kamatayan.”
22 And David said to Ittai, “Come, and pass over.” And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all the men who were with him, and the rest of the multitude.
Kaya sinabi ni David kay Itai, “Mauna at magpatuloy kasama namin.” Kaya naglakbay si Itai na taga-Gat kasama ang hari, kasama ang lahat ng kaniyang tauhan at ang lahat ng pamilyang kasama niya.
23 And they all wept with a great voice, and all the people passed over. The king also passed over the torrent Kidron. And all the people advanced opposite the way which looks out toward the desert.
Umiyak ng malakas ang buong bansa habang dumadaan ang lahat ng tao sa Lambak Kidron at habang tumatawid din mismo ang hari. Naglakbay ang lahat ng tao sa daan patungong ilang.
24 Now Zadok the priest also went, and all the Levites went with him, carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God. And Abiathar went up, until all the people who had departed from the city had gone by.
Kahit si Zadok kasama ang lahat ng Levita, dala-dala ang kaban ng kautusan ng Diyos, ay naroon. Ibinaba nila ang kaban ng Diyos at sumama sa kanila si Abiatar. Naghintay sila hanggang sa makaraan ang lahat ng tao palabas ng lungsod.
25 And the king said to Zadok: “Carry back the ark of God into the city. If I shall find grace in the sight of the Lord, he will lead me back. And he will show it to me in his tabernacle.
Sinabi ng hari kay Zadok, “Dalhin ang kaban ng Diyos pabalik sa lungsod. Kung makakasumpong ako ng biyaya sa mga mata ni Yahweh, dadalhin niya ako pabalik dito at ipapakitang muli sa akin ang kaban at ang lugar kung saan siya naninirahan.
26 But if he will say to me, ‘You are not pleasing,’ I am ready. Let him do whatever is good in his own sight.”
Pero kung sasabihin niyang, 'Hindi ako nasisiyahan sa iyo; tingnan, narito ako, hayaan siyang gawin sa akin kung ano ang mabuti sa kaniya.”
27 And the king said to Zadok the priest: “O seer, return into the city in peace. And let your son Ahimaaz, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar, your two sons, be with you.
Sinabi rin ng hari kay Zadok na pari, “Hindi kaba isang manghuhula?” Bumalik lungsod nang mapayapa at ang dalawa mong anak na lalaking kasama mo, sina Ahimaaz na anak mo at Jonatan na anak ni Abiatar.
28 Behold, I will hide in the plains of the desert, until word from you may arrive to inform me.”
Tingnan, maghihintay ako sa mga tawiran ng Araba hanggang sa dumating ang salita mula sa iyo para sabihan ako.”
29 Therefore, Zadok and Abiathar carried back the ark of God into Jerusalem, and they remained there.
Kaya dinala ni Zadok at Abiatar ang kaban ng Diyos pabalik sa Jerusalem at nanatili sila roon.
30 But David ascended to the Mount of Olives, climbing and weeping, advancing with bare feet and with his head covered. Moreover, all the people who were with him ascended, weeping with their heads covered.
Pero umakyat si David nang nakapaa at umiiyak paakyat sa Bundok ng mga Olibo, at tinakpan niya ang kaniyang ulo. Tinakpan ng bawat isang mga taong kasama niya ang kanilang ulo at umakyat silang umiiyak habang naglalakad.
31 Then it was reported to David that Ahithophel also had joined in swearing with Absalom. And David said, “O Lord, I beg you, to uncover the foolishness of the counsel of Ahithophel.”
May isang taong nakapagsabi kay David na, “Si Ahitofel ay kasama sa mga kasabwat ni Absalom.” Kaya nanalangin si David, “O Yahweh, pakiusap gawin mong kahangalan ang payo ni Ahitofel.”
32 And when David had ascended to the summit of the mountain, where he was going to adore the Lord, behold Hushai the Archite met him, with his garment torn and his head covered with soil.
Nang nakarating si David sa tuktok ng daan, kung saan nakagawiang sambahin ang Diyos, dumating si Cusai na Arkita para salubungin siya na punit ang kaniyang damit at may lupa sa kaniyang ulo.
33 And David said to him: “If you come with me, you will be a burden to me.
Sinabi ni David sa kaniya, “Kung maglalakbay ka kasama ko, sa gayon magiging isang pabigat ka sa akin.
34 But if you return to the city, and you say to Absalom, ‘I am your servant, O king; just as I have been the servant of your father, so too will I be your servant,’ you will destroy the counsel of Ahithophel
Pero kung babalik ka sa lungsod at sasabihin kay Absalom, 'Magiging lingkod mo ako, hari, gaya ng paglilingkod ko dati sa iyong ama,' kaya magiging lingkod mo ako ngayon; pagkatapos guguluhin mo ang payo ni Ahitofel para sa akin.
35 And you have with you the priests Zadok and Abiathar. And any word whatsoever that you will hear from the house of the king, you shall reveal it to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests.
Hindi mo ba makakasama roon si Abiatar at Zadok na mga pari? Kaya kahit ano ang marinig mo sa palasyo ng hari, dapat mong sabihin ito kina Zadok at Abiatar na mga pari.
36 Now with them are their two sons Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar. And you shall send to me by them every word that you will have heard.”
Makikita mo na kasama nila roon ang kanilang dalawang anak, sina Ahimaaz, anak na lalaki ni Zadok at Jonatan, anak na lalaki ni Abiatar. Dapat mong ipadala sa akin sa pamamagitan ng kanilang kamay ang lahat ng bagay na marinig mo.”
37 Therefore, Hushai, the friend of David, went into the city. And Absalom also entered into Jerusalem.
Kaya pumunta si Cusai, kaibigan ni David sa lungsod habang dumating at pumasok si Absalom sa Jerusalem.
