2 At pinayaon ni David ang bayan, ang isang ikatlong bahagi ay nasa kamay ni Joab, at ang ikatlong bahagi ay nasa kamay ni Abisai na anak ni Sarvia, na kapatid ni Joab, at ang ikatlong bahagi ay nasa kamay ni Ittai na Getheo. At sinabi ng hari sa bayan, Walang pagsalang ako'y lalabas na kasama ninyo.
2 David sent the people out, one third under the command of Joab, one third under the command of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab’s brother, and one third under the command of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the people, “I myself will surely go out with you also.”
3 Nguni't sinabi ng bayan, Huwag kang lalabas: sapagka't kung kami man ay tumakas, ay hindi nila kami aalumanahin, o kung ang kalahati man namin ay mamatay, ay hindi nila kami aalumanahin: nguni't ikaw ay may halagang sangpung libo sa amin: kaya't ngayo'y lalong maigi na ikaw ay maghanda na iyong saklolohan kami mula sa bayan.
3 But the people said, “You should not go out; for if we indeed flee, they will not care about us; even if half of us die, they will not care about us. But you are worth ten thousand of us; therefore now it is better that you be ready to help us from the city.”
4 At sinabi ng hari sa kanila, Kung ano ang inaakala ninyong mabuti ay aking gagawin. At ang hari ay tumayo sa tabi ng pintuang-bayan, at ang buong bayan ay lumabas na daan daan at libolibo.
4 Then the king said to them, “Whatever seems best to you I will do.” So the king stood beside the gate, and all the people went out by hundreds and thousands.
5 At ang hari ay nagutos kay Joab at kay Abisai, at kay Ittai, na nagsasabi, Inyong gamitan ng kaawaan, alangalang sa akin, ang binata, sa makatuwid baga'y si Absalom. At narinig ng buong bayan nang ipagbilin ng hari sa lahat ng punong kawal ang tungkol kay Absalom.
5 The king charged Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, “Deal gently for my sake with the young man Absalom.” And all the people heard when the king charged all the commanders concerning Absalom.
9 At nakasagupa ni Absalom ang mga lingkod ni David. At si Absalom ay nakasakay sa kaniyang mula, at ang mula ay nagdaan sa ilalim ng mayabong na mga sanga ng isang malaking ensina, at ang kaniyang ulo ay nasabit sa ensina, at siya'y nabitin; at ang mula na nasa ilalim niya ay nagpatuloy.
9 Now Absalom happened to meet the servants of David. For Absalom was riding on his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great oak. And his head caught fast in the oak, so he was left hanging between heaven and earth, while the mule that was under him kept going.
11 At sinabi ni Joab sa lalaking nagsaysay sa kaniya, At, narito, iyong nakita, at bakit hindi mo sinaktan doon sa lupa? at nabigyan sana kita ng sangpung putol na pilak, at isang pamigkis.
11 Then Joab said to the man who had told him, “Now behold, you saw him! Why then did you not strike him there to the ground? And I would have given you ten pieces of silver and a belt.”
12 At sinabi ng lalake kay Joab, Bagaman ako'y tatanggap ng isang libong putol na pilak sa aking kamay, gayon ma'y hindi ko iuunat ang aking kamay laban sa anak ng hari: sapagka't sa aming pakinig ay ibinilin ng hari sa iyo, at kay Abisai, at kay Ittai, na sinabi, Ingatan ninyo na huwag galawin ninoman ang binatang si Absalom.
12 The man said to Joab, “Even if I should receive a thousand pieces of silver in my hand, I would not put out my hand against the king’s son; for in our hearing the king charged you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, ‘Protect for me the young man Absalom!’
13 Sa ibang paraan, kung ako'y gumawa ng paglililo laban sa kaniyang buhay (at walang bagay na makukubli sa hari,) ikaw man sa iyong sarili ay mananayong laban sa akin.
13 Otherwise, if I had dealt treacherously against his life (and there is nothing hidden from the king), then you yourself would have stood aloof.”
14 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Joab, Hindi ako makatitigil ng ganito sa iyo. At siya'y kumuha ng tatlong pana sa kaniyang kamay at pinalagpas sa puso ni Absalom, samantalang siya'y buhay pa sa gitna ng ensina.
14 Then Joab said, “I will not waste time here with you.” So he took three spears in his hand and thrust them through the heart of Absalom while he was yet alive in the midst of the oak.
17 At kanilang kinuha si Absalom at inihagis nila siya sa malaking hukay sa gubat, at tinabunan siya ng isang malaking bunton ng bato: at ang buong Israel ay tumakas bawa't isa sa kaniyang tolda.
17 They took Absalom and cast him into a deep pit in the forest and erected over him a very great heap of stones. And all Israel fled, each to his tent.
18 Si Absalom nga sa kaniyang kabuhayan ay nagpasiya at nagtayo sa ganang kaniya ng haligi, na pinaka alaala, na nasa libis ng hari: sapagka't kaniyang sinasabi, Wala akong anak na magiingat ng alaala ng aking pangalan: at kaniyang tinawag ang haligi ng ayon sa kaniyang sariling pangalan: at tinawag na monumento ni Absalom, hanggang sa araw na ito.
18 Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and set up for himself a pillar which is in the King’s Valley, for he said, “I have no son to preserve my name.” So he named the pillar after his own name, and it is called Absalom’s Monument to this day.
19 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Ahimaas na anak ni Sadoc, Patakbuhin mo ako ngayon, at magdala ng balita sa hari, kung paanong iginanti siya ng Panginoon sa kaniyang kaaway.
19 Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, “Please let me run and bring the king news that the Lord has freed him from the hand of his enemies.”
20 At sinabi ni Joab sa kaniya, Hindi ka magiging tagapagdala ng balita sa araw na ito: kundi magdadala ka ng balita sa ibang araw: nguni't sa araw na ito ay hindi ka magdadala ng balita, sapagka't ang anak ng hari ay namatay.
20 But Joab said to him, “You are not the man to carry news this day, but you shall carry news another day; however, you shall carry no news today because the king’s son is dead.”
22 Nang magkagayo'y nagsabi pa uli si Ahimaas na anak ni Sadoc kay Joab, Nguni't sa anomang kahinatnan, isinasamo ko sa iyo, na ako naman ay iyong patakbuhin na kasunod ng Cusita. At sinabi ni Joab, Bakit tatakbo ka, anak ko, dangang wala kang mapapala ng dahil sa balita?
22 Now Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said once more to Joab, “But whatever happens, please let me also run after the Cushite.” And Joab said, “Why would you run, my son, since you will have no reward for going?”
23 Nguni't sa anomang kahinatnan, ako'y tatakbo. At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Tumakbo ka. Nang magkagayo'y tumakbo si Ahimaas sa daan ng kapatagan, at inunahan ang Cusita.
23 “But whatever happens,” he said, “I will run.” So he said to him, “Run.” Then Ahimaaz ran by way of the plain and passed up the Cushite.
24 Si David nga ay nakaupo sa pagitan ng dalawang pintuang-bayan: at ang bantay ay sumampa sa ibabaw ng pintuang-bayan, sa kuta, at itinanaw ang kaniyang mga mata, at tumingin, at narito, isang lalake ay tumatakbong nagiisa.
24 Now David was sitting between the two gates; and the watchman went up to the roof of the gate by the wall, and raised his eyes and looked, and behold, a man running by himself.
26 At ang bantay ay nakakita ng ibang lalake na tumatakbo at tinawag ng bantay ang tanod-pinto, at sinabi, Narito, may ibang lalake na tumatakbong nagiisa. At sinabi ng hari, Siya'y may dala ring balita.
26 Then the watchman saw another man running; and the watchman called to the gatekeeper and said, “Behold, another man running by himself.” And the king said, “This one also is bringing good news.”
27 At sinabi ng bantay, Inaakala ko na ang takbo ng una ay gaya ng takbo ni Ahimaas na anak ni Sadoc. At sinabi ng hari, Siya'y mabuting lalake at napariritong may mabuting balita.
27 The watchman said, “I think the running of the first one is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok.” And the king said, “This is a good man and comes with good news.”
28 At tumawag si Ahimaas at nagsabi sa hari, Lahat ay mabuti. At siya'y nagpatirapa sa lupa sa harap ng hari, at nagsabi, Purihin ang Panginoon mong Dios, na nagbigay ng mga lalaking nagsipagtaas ng kanilang kamay laban sa aking panginoon na hari.
28 Ahimaaz called and said to the king, “All is well.” And he prostrated himself before the king with his face to the ground. And he said, “Blessed is the Lord your God, who has delivered up the men who lifted their hands against my lord the king.”
29 At sinabi ng hari, Ligtas ba ang binatang si Absalom? At sumagot si Ahimaas. Nang suguin ni Joab, ang lingkod ng hari, sa makatuwid baga'y ako na iyong lingkod, ako'y nakakita ng isang malaking pagkakagulo, nguni't hindi ko nalalaman kung ano.
29 The king said, “Is it well with the young man Absalom?” And Ahimaaz answered, “When Joab sent the king’s servant, and your servant, I saw a great tumult, but I did not know what it was.”
31 At, narito, ang Cusita ay dumating; at sinabi ng Cusita, Balita sa aking panginoon na hari: sapagka't iginanti ka ng Panginoon sa araw na ito doon sa lahat na nagsibangon laban sa iyo.
31 Behold, the Cushite arrived, and the Cushite said, “Let my lord the king receive good news, for the Lord has freed you this day from the hand of all those who rose up against you.”
32 At sinabi ng hari sa Cusita, Ligtas ba ang binatang si Absalom? At sumagot ang Cusita, Ang mga kaaway ng aking panginoon na hari, at yaong lahat na nagsibangon laban sa iyo upang gawan ka ng masama ay maging gaya nawa ng binatang yaon.
32 Then the king said to the Cushite, “Is it well with the young man Absalom?” And the Cushite answered, “Let the enemies of my lord the king, and all who rise up against you for evil, be as that young man!”
33 At ang hari ay nagulumihanan, at sumampa sa silid na nasa ibabaw ng pintuang bayan, at umiyak: at habang siya'y yumayaon, ganito ang sinasabi niya, Oh anak kong Absalom, anak ko, anak kong Absalom! Mano nawa'y ako ang namatay na kahalili mo, Oh Absalom, anak ko, anak ko!
33 The king was deeply moved and went up to the chamber over the gate and wept. And thus he said as he walked, “O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! Would I had died instead of you, O Absalom, my son, my son!”
