2 Samuel 3
1 Then a long struggle occurred between the house of Saul and the house of David, with David prospering and growing ever stronger, but the house of Saul decreasing daily.
Ngayon ay mayroong isang mahabang digmaan sa pagitan ng tahanan ni Saul at ng tahanan ni David. Patuloy na lumalakas ng lumakas si David pero ang tahanan ni Saul ay patuloy na humihina ng humihina.
2 And sons were born to David in Hebron. And his firstborn son was Amnon, from Ahinoam the Jezreelite.
Ang mga anak na lalaki ay ipinanganak kay David sa Hebron. Ang kaniyang panganay ay si Amnon, kay Anihoam mula sa Jezreel.
3 And after him, there was Chileab, from Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel. Then the third was Absalom, the son of Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, the king of Geshur.
Ang kaniyang pangalawang anak, ay si Quileb, ay ipinanganak kay Abigail, ang biyuda ni Nabal mula sa Carmel. Ang pangatlo, ay si Absalom, anak ni Maaca, anak na babae ni Talmai, hari ng Gesur.
4 Then the fourth was Adonijah, the son of Haggith. And the fifth was Shephatiah, the son of Abital.
Si Adonias, ang ikaapat na anak na lalaki ni David, na anak na lalaki ni Haggit. Ang ikalima ay si Sheftias, anak na lalaki ni Abital,
5 Also, the sixth was Ithream, from Eglah, the wife of David. These were born to David at Hebron.
at ang ika-anim, si Itream, anak na lalaki ng asawa ni David na si Egla. Ang mga anak na lalaki na to ay ipinanganak kay David sa Hebron.
6 Then, while there was a battle between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner, the son of Ner, was reigning over the house of Saul.
Nangyari ito sa panahon ng digmaan sa pagitan sa tahanan ni Saul at sa tahanan ni David na si Abner ay nagawang palakasin ang tahanan ni Saul.
7 Now Saul had a concubine named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. And Ishbosheth said to Abner,
May isang kerida si Saul na ang pangalan ay Rizpa, ang anak na babae ni Aya. Sinabi ni Isobet kay Abner, “Bakit mo sinipingan ang kerida ng aking ama?”
8 “Why did you enter to the concubine of my father?” But he, being exceedingly angry at the words of Ishbosheth, said: “Am I the head of a dog against Judah this day? I have shown mercy to the house of Saul, your father, and to his brothers and friends. And I have not delivered you into the hands of David. And yet today you have sought me, so that you might rebuke me over a woman?
Pagkatapos si Abner ay galit na galit sa mga salita ni Isobet at sinabi, “Ako ba ay ulo ng aso na pag-aari ng Juda? Sa araw na ito ay ipinapakita ko ang katapatan sa tahanan ni Saul, ang iyong ama, sa kaniyang mga kapatid na lalaki, at sa kaniyang mga kaibigan sa hindi ko pagbibigay sa iyo sa kamay ni David. At ngayon pinaparatangan mo ako sa araw na ito tungkol sa babaeng ito.
9 May God do these things to Abner, and may he add these other things, if, in the same way that the Lord swore to David, I do not do so with him:
Nawa gawin sa akin ng Diyos, Abner, at mas masama pa, kung hindi ko gagawin para kay David ang gaya ng ipinangako ni Yahweh sa kaniya,
10 that the kingdom be transferred from the house of Saul, and that the throne of David be elevated over Israel and over Judah, from Dan to Beersheba.”
na ilipat ang kaharian mula sa tahanan ni Saul at itayo ang trono ni David sa buong Israel at sa buong Juda, mula Dan hanggang Beerseba.”
11 And he was not able to respond anything to him, because he was in fear of him.
Hindi makasagot si Isobet kay Abner ng iba pang salita, dahil natakot siya sa kaniya.
12 Therefore, Abner sent messengers to David for himself, saying, “Whose is the land?” and so that they would say, “Make a friendship with me, and my hand will be with you, and I will lead back all of Israel to you.”
Pagkatapos nagpadala ng mga mensahero si Abner kay David, para kausapin siya sa pagsasabing, “Kaninong lupa ito?” Gumawa ka ng isang kasunduan sa akin, at makikita mo na ang aking kamay ay nasa iyo, dalhin ang buong Israel sa iyo.”
13 And he said: “It is best. I will make a friendship with you. But one thing I ask of you, saying: You shall not see my face before you bring Michal, the daughter of Saul. And in this way, you shall come, and see me.”
Sumagot si David, “Mabuti, gagawa ako ng isang kasunduan sa iyo. Pero isang bagay ang hihingin ko mula sa iyo na hindi mo makikita ang aking mukha maliban na dalhin mo muna si Mical, ang anak na babae ni Saul, kapag nakipagkita ka sa akin.”
14 Then David sent messengers to Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, saying, “Restore my wife Michal, whom I espoused to myself for one hundred foreskins of the Philistines.”
Pagkatapos nagpadala ng mga mensahero si David kay Isobet, anak na lalaki ni Saul, na nagsasabing, “Ibigay mo sa akin ang aking asawa na si Mical, na aking binayaran na nagkakahalaga ng isangdaang balat ng mga taga-Filisteo.”
15 Therefore, Ishbosheth sent and took her from her husband Paltiel, the son of Laish.
Kaya ipinakuha ni Isobet si Mical at kinuha siya sa kaniyang asawa, na si Patiel anak na lalaki ni Lais.
16 And her husband was following her, weeping, as far as Bahurim. And Abner said to him, “Go and return.” And he returned.
Sumama ang kaniyang asawa sa kaniya, umiiyak habang papaalis, at sinundan siya sa Bahurim. Pagkatapos sinabi ni Abner sa kaniya, “Bumalik sa bahay mo ngayon.” Kaya nagbalik siya.
17 Likewise, Abner sent word to the elders of Israel, saying: “As much yesterday as the day before, you were seeking David, so that he might reign over you.
Kinausap ni Abner ang mga nakatatanda sa Israel sa pagsasabing, “Nang nakaraan sinusubukan ninyo na mag hari si David sa inyo.
18 Therefore, accomplish it now. For the Lord has spoken to David, saying: ‘By the hand of my servant David, I will save my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and of all their enemies.’”
Ngayon gawin ito. Dahil nakipag-usap si Yahweh kay David sinasabing, 'Sa pamamagitan ng kamay ng aking lingkod na si David ililigtas ko ang aking mga tao ang Israel mula sa kapangyarihan ng mga Filisteo at sa lahat ng kanilang mga kaaway.””
19 Then Abner also spoke to Benjamin. And he went away, so that he might speak to David in Hebron all that would be pleasing to Israel and to all of Benjamin.
Kinausap din mismo ni Abner ang bayan ng Benjamin. Pagkatapos pumunta rin si Abner upang makipag-usap kay David sa Hebron para ipaliwanag ang lahat ng bagay na ninanais ng Israel at ng buong sambahayan ni Benjamin na nais tapusin.
20 And he went to David in Hebron with twenty men. And David made a feast for Abner, and for his men who had arrived with him.
Nang dumating sa Hebron si Abner at ang dalawampu sa kaniyang mga tauhan para makipagkita kay David, naghanda si David ng isang piging para sa kanila.
21 And Abner said to David, “I will rise up, so that I may gather all of Israel to you, my lord the king, and so that I may enter into a pact with you, and so that you may reign over all, just as your soul desires.” Then, when David had led Abner away, and he had departed in peace,
Ipinaliwanag ni Abner kay David, “Ako ay aalis at titipunin ang buong Israel para sa iyo, aking panginoon ang hari, nang sa gayon gagawa sila ng isang kasunduan sa iyo, nang sa gayon maaari kang maghari sa lahat ng nanaisin mo.” Kaya pinaalis ni David si Abner, at umalis si Abner ng may kapayapaan.
22 immediately the servants of David and of Joab arrived, after having slain robbers, with exceedingly great spoils. But Abner was not with David in Hebron. For by then he had sent him away, and he had set out in peace.
Pagkatapos dumating ang mga sundalo ni David at Joab galing sa pagsalakay at may dalang maraming mga bagay na kanilang nakuha sa panloloob. Pero si Abner ay hindi kasama ni David sa Hebron. Pinaalis siya ni David, at umalis si Abner ng may kapayapaan.
23 And Joab, and the entire army that was with him, had arrived afterward. And so, it was reported to Joab, explaining that Abner, the son of Ner, went to the king, and he dismissed him, and he went away in peace.
Nang si Joab at lahat ng hukbo na kasama niya ay dumating, sinabi nila kay Joab, “Si Abner anak na lalaki ni Ner ay nagpunta sa hari, at ang hari ay pinaalis na siya, at umalis si Abner ng may kapayapaan.”
24 And Joab entered to the king, and he said: “What have you done? Behold, Abner came to you. Why did you dismiss him, so that he has gone and departed?
Pagkatapos pumunta si Joab sa hari at sinabi, “Ano ang ginawa mo? Tingnan mo, pumunta si Abner sa iyo! Bakit mo siya pinaalis, at siya ay nakaalis na?
25 Do you not know, about Abner, the son of Ner, that he came to you for this, so that he might deceive you, and might know of your departure and your return, and so that he might know all that you do?”
Hindi mo ba alam na pumunta si Abner anak na lalaki ni Ner para lokohin ka, at alamin ang iyong mga plano at malaman ang lahat ng bagay na gagawin mo?”
26 And so, Joab, going out from David, sent messengers after Abner, and he brought him back from the cistern of Sirah, without David knowing.
Nang iniwan ni Joab si David, nagpadala siya ng mga mensahero kay Abner, at dinala siya pabalik mula sa balon ng Sira, pero hindi alam ito ni David.
27 And when Abner had returned to Hebron, Joab took him alone to the middle of the gate, so that he might speak to him, but with deceit. And there, he stabbed him in the groin, and he died, in revenge for the blood of Asahel, his brother.
Nang makabalik si Abner sa Hebron, dinala siya ni Joab sa isang tabi sa gitna ng tarangkahan para kausapin siya ng tahimik. Doon sinaksak siya ni Joab sa tiyan at pinatay siya. Sa ganitong paraan, naipaghiganti ni Joab ang dugo ni Asahel na kaniyang kapatid na lalaki.
28 And when David had heard of it, now that the matter was done, he said: “I and my kingdom are clean before the Lord, even forever, of the blood of Abner, the son of Ner.
Nang marinig ni David ang tungkol dito, sinabi niya, “Ako at ang aking kaharian ay inosente sa harapan ni Yahweh magpakailanman hinggil sa dugo ni Abner anak na lalaki ni Ner.
29 And may it fall upon the head of Joab, and upon the entire house of his father. And may there not fail to be, in the house of Joab, one who suffers from a flow of seed, or one who is leprous, or one who is effeminate, or one who falls by the sword, or one who is in need of bread.”
Hayaan ang kasalanan sa pagkamatay ni Abner ay bumagsak sa ulo ni Joab at sa lahat ng sambahayan ng kaniyang ama. Nawa'y hindi ito maalis sa pamilya ni Joab isang tao na mayroong tumutulong sugat o sakit sa balat o isang pilay at dapat lumakad na mayroong isang tungkod o pinatay sa pamamagitan ng espada o umaalis na walang pagkain.
30 And so, Joab and his brother Abishai killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon, during the battle.
Kaya si Joab at Abisai ang kaniyang kapatid na lalaki ay pinatay si Abner, dahil pinatay niya sa labanan ang kanilang kapatid na lalaki na si Asahel sa Gibeon.
31 Then David said to Joab, and to all the people who were with him, “Tear your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn before the funeral procession of Abner.” Moreover, king David himself was following the casket.
Sinabi ni David kay Joab at sa lahat ng tao na kasama niya, “Punitin ninyo ang inyong mga damit, maglagay ng telang magaspang, at manangis sa harapan ng bangkay ni Abner.” At si Haring David ay lumakad sa likod ng bangkay sa paghahatid sa libingan.
32 And when they had buried Abner in Hebron, king David lifted up his voice, and he wept over the burial mound of Abner. And all the people also wept.
Inilibing nila si Abner sa Hebron. Umiyak ang hari at nanangis ng malakas sa puntod ni Abner, at lahat din ng tao ay nag iyakan.
33 And the king, mourning and lamenting Abner, said: “By no means has Abner died the way that cowards usually die.
Ang hari ay nanangis para kay Abner, at umawit. “Kailangan bang mamatay ni Abner gaya sa pagkamatay ng isang mangmang?
34 Your hands are not bound, and your feet are not weighed down with fetters. But just as men often fall before the sons of iniquity, so you have fallen.” And while repeating this, all the people wept over him.
Ang iyong mga kamay ay hindi nakatali. Ang iyong mga paa ay hindi nakakadena. habang ang isang lalaki ay bumabagsak sa harapan ng mga anak na lalaki ng walang hustisya, kaya ikaw ay bumagsak. “Muli ang lahat ng tao ay nagsiiyakan sa kaniya.
35 And when the entire multitude had arrived to take food with David, while it was still broad daylight, David swore, saying, “May God do these things to me, and may he add these other things, if I taste bread or anything else before the sun sets.”
Lumapit ang lahat ng tao kay David para pakainin habang may araw pa, pero nangako si David, “Nawa'y gawin sa akin ng Diyos, at ng mas matindi pa, kung titikim ako ng tinapay o anumang bagay bago lumubog ang araw.”
36 And all the people heard it, and everything that the king did in the sight of the entire people was pleasing to them.
Kaya napansin ng lahat ng tao ang pighati ni David, at nalugod sila, gaya ng ginawa ng hari na nakalulugod sa kanila.
37 And every common person, and all of Israel, realized on that day that the killing of Abner, the son of Ner, had not been done by the king.
Kaya naintindihan ng lahat ng tao at ng buong Israel nang araw na iyon na hindi ito nais ng hari na patayin si Abner anak na lalaki ni Ner.
38 The king also said to his servants: “Could you be ignorant that a leader and a very great man has fallen today in Israel?
Sinabi ng hari sa kanyang mga lingkod, “Hindi ba ninyo alam na isang prinsipe at dakilang lalaki ang bumagsak sa araw na ito sa Israel?
39 But I am still tender, and yet anointed king. And these men of the sons of Zeruiah are too harsh for me. May the Lord repay whoever does evil in accord with his malice.”
At ako ay mahina sa araw na ito, kahit na ako ang nahirang na hari. ang mga kalalakihang ito, ang anak na lalaki ni Zeruias, ay napakalupit para sa akin. Nawa'y si Yahweh ang magbayad sa masamang tao, sa pamamagitan ng pagpaparusa sa kaniya para sa kaniyang kasamaan, gaya ng nararapat sa kaniya.”
