¹ Dinggin mo, Oh Israel, ikaw ay tatawid sa Jordan sa araw na ito, upang iyong pasukin na ariin ang mga bansang lalong dakila at lalong makapangyarihan kay sa iyo, na mga bayang malaki at nakukutaan hanggang sa himpapawid,

² Isang bayang malaki at mataas ng mga anak ng Anaceo, na iyong nakikilala, at tungkol sa kanila ay narinig mong sinasabi, Sinong makatatayo sa harap ng mga anak ni Anac?

³ Talastasin mo nga sa araw na ito, na ang Panginoon mong Dios ay siyang mangunguna sa iyo na parang mamumugnaw na apoy; kaniyang lilipulin sila, at kaniyang payuyukurin sila sa harap mo; sa gayo'y iyong mapalalayas sila, at iyong malilipol silang madali, na gaya ng sinalita sa iyo ng Panginoon.

⁴ Huwag kang magsasalita sa iyong puso, pagkatapos na mapalayas sila ng Panginoon mong Dios sa harap mo, na iyong sasabihin, Dahil sa aking katuwiran ay ipinasok ako ng Panginoon upang ariin ang lupaing ito; na dahil sa kasamaan ng mga bansang ito ay pinalalayas ng Panginoon sila sa harap mo.

⁵ Hindi dahil sa iyong katuwiran o dahil sa pagtatapat ng iyong loob ay iyong pinapasok upang ariin ang kanilang lupain: kundi dahil sa kasamaan ng mga bansang ito ay pinalalayas sila ng Panginoong Dios sa harap mo, at upang kaniyang papagtibayin ang salita na isinumpa ng Panginoon sa iyong mga magulang kay Abraham, kay Isaac, at kay Jacob.

⁶ Talastasin mo nga na hindi ibinibigay sa iyo ng Panginoon mong Dios ang mabuting lupaing ito upang ariin ng dahil sa iyong katuwiran; sapagka't ikaw ay isang bayang matigas ang ulo.

⁷ Alalahanin mo, huwag mong kalimutan, kung paanong minungkahi mo sa galit ang Panginoon mong Dios sa ilang: mula nang araw na kayo'y umalis sa lupain ng Egipto, hanggang sa kayo'y dumating sa dakong ito ay naging mapanghimagsik kayo laban sa Panginoon.

⁸ Gayon din sa Horeb na inyong minungkahi ang Panginoon sa galit, at ang Panginoon ay nagalit sa inyo na kayo sana'y lilipulin.

⁹ Nang ako'y sumampa sa bundok upang tanggapin ang mga tapyas na bato, sa makatuwid baga'y ang mga tapyas ng tipan na ginawa ng Panginoon sa inyo, ay natira nga ako sa bundok na apat na pung araw at apat na pung gabi; hindi ako kumain ng tinapay ni uminom ng tubig.

¹⁰ At ibinigay sa akin ng Panginoon ang dalawang tapyas na bato na sinulatan ng daliri ng Dios; at sa mga yao'y nasusulat ang ayon sa lahat ng mga salita na sinalita ng Panginoon sa inyo sa bundok mula sa gitna ng apoy nang araw ng kapulungan.

¹¹ At nangyari sa katapusan ng apat na pung araw at apat na pung gabi, na ibinigay sa akin ng Panginoon ang dalawang tapyas na bato, sa makatuwid baga'y ang mga tapyas ng tipan.

¹² At sinabi ng Panginoon sa akin, Tumindig ka, manaog kang madali rito; sapagka't ang iyong bayan na iyong inilabas sa Egipto ay nangagpakasama; sila'y madaling lumihis sa daang aking iniutos sa kanila; sila'y nagsigawa para sa kanila ng isang larawang binubo.

¹³ Bukod dito'y sinalita sa akin ng Panginoon, na sinasabi, Aking nakita ang bayang ito, at, narito, isang bayang matigas ang ulo:

¹⁴ Bayaan mo ako na aking lipulin sila, at aking pawiin ang kanilang pangalan sa silong ng langit; at gagawin kita na isang bansang lalong makapangyarihan at lalong malaki kay sa kanila.

¹⁵ Sa gayo'y pumihit ako at bumaba ako mula sa bundok, at ang bundok ay nagniningas sa apoy, at ang dalawang tapyas ng tipan ay nasa aking dalawang kamay.

¹⁶ At tumingin ako, at, narito, kayo'y nakapagkasala na laban sa Panginoon ninyong Dios: kayo'y nagsigawa para sa inyo ng isang guyang binubo: kayo'y lumihis na madali sa daan na iniutos sa inyo ng Panginoon.

¹⁷ At aking tinangnan ang dalawang tapyas, at aking inihagis sa aking dalawang kamay, at aking iniwalat sa harap ng inyong mga mata.

¹⁸ At ako'y nagpatirapa sa harap ng Panginoon, gaya ng una, na apat na pung araw at apat na pung gabi; hindi ako kumain ng tinapay ni uminom ng tubig; dahil sa inyong buong kasalanan na inyong ipinagkasala sa paggawa ninyo ng masama sa paningin ng Panginoon na minungkahi ninyo siya sa galit;

¹⁹ Sapagka't natatakot ako dahil sa galit at maningas na poot, na ikinayamot ng Panginoon sa inyo, na lilipulin sana kayo. Nguni't dininig din naman ako noon ng Panginoon.

²⁰ At ang Panginoo'y totoong nagalit kay Aaron na siya sana'y papatayin: at akin din namang idinalangin si Aaron nang panahon ding yaon.

²¹ At aking kinuha ang inyong kasalanan, ang guyang inyong ginawa, at aking sinunog sa apoy, at aking niyapakan, na dinurog na mainam, hanggang sa naging durog na parang alabok; at aking inihagis ang alabok niyaon sa batis na umaagos mula sa bundok.

²² At sa Tabera, at sa Massa, at sa Kibroth-hataa-vah, ay inyong minungkahi ang Panginoon sa galit.

²³ At nang suguin kayo ng Panginoon mula sa Cades-barnea, na sabihin, Sumampa kayo at ariin ninyo ang lupain na ibinigay ko sa inyo; kayo nga'y nanghimagsik laban sa utos ng Panginoon ninyong Dios, at hindi ninyo pinanampalatayanan siya, ni dininig ang kaniyang tinig.

²⁴ Kayo'y naging mapanghimagsik laban sa Panginoon, mula nang araw na kayo'y aking makilala.

²⁵ Sa gayo'y nagpatirapa ako sa harap ng Panginoon na apat na pung araw at apat na pung gabi na ako'y nagpatirapa, sapagka't sinabi ng Panginoon, na kaniyang lilipulin kayo.

²⁶ At aking ipinanalangin sa Panginoon, at sinabi, Oh Panginoong Dios, huwag mong lipulin ang iyong bayan at ang iyong mana, na iyong tinubos ng iyong kadakilaan na iyong inilabas sa Egipto ng makapangyarihang kamay.

²⁷ Alalahanin mo ang iyong mga lingkod, si Abraham, si Isaac, at si Jacob; huwag mong masdan ang pagmamatigas ng bayang ito, ni ang kasamaan nila, ni ang kasalanan nila:

²⁸ Baka sabihin ng mga taga lupaing pinaglabasan mo sa amin: Sapagka't hindi sila naipasok ng Panginoon sa lupain na ipinangako sa kanila, at sa kapootan niya sa kanila, ay inilabas sila upang patayin sa ilang.

²⁹ Gayon man sila'y iyong bayan at iyong mana, na iyong inilabas ng iyong dakilang kapangyarihan at ng iyong unat na bisig.

¹ The word of Yahweh came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,

² "Because I exalted you out of the dust, and made you prince over my people Israel, and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and have made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;

³ behold, I will utterly sweep away Baasha and his house; and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

⁴ The dogs will eat Baasha's descendants who die in the city; and he who dies of his in the field the birds of the sky will eat."

⁵ Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

⁶ Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah; and Elah his son reigned in his place.

⁷ Moreover by the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of Yahweh against Baasha, and against his house, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he struck him.

⁸ In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, [and reigned] two years.

⁹ His servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah:

¹⁰ and Zimri went in and struck him, and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place.

¹¹ It happened, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he struck all the house of Baasha: he didn't leave him a single one who urinates on a wall, neither of his relatives, nor of his friends.

¹² Thus Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,

¹³ for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned, and with which they made Israel to sin, to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.

¹⁴ Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

¹⁵ In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.

¹⁶ The people who were encamped heard say, Zimri has conspired, and has also struck the king: therefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.

¹⁷ Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.

¹⁸ It happened, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the castle of the king's house, and burnt the king's house over him with fire, and died,

¹⁹ for his sins which he sinned in doing that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.

²⁰ Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

²¹ Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri.

²² But the people who followed Omri prevailed against the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.

²³ In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, [and reigned] twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah.

²⁴ He bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver; and he built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill, Samaria.

²⁵ Omri did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and dealt wickedly above all who were before him.

²⁶ For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins with which he made Israel to sin, to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.

²⁷ Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he showed, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

²⁸ So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria; and Ahab his son reigned in his place.

²⁹ In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.

³⁰ Ahab the son of Omri did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh above all that were before him.

³¹ It happened, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshiped him.

³² He reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.

³³ Ahab made the Asherah; and Ahab did yet more to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him.

³⁴ In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho: he laid its foundation with the loss of Abiram his firstborn, and set up its gates with the loss of his youngest son Segub, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke by Joshua the son of Nun.
