2 Samuel 4
1 Sa dihang nadungog ni Isboset, anak nga lalaki ni Saul, nga namatay na si Abner didto sa Hebron, namuypoy ang iyang mga kamot, ug naguol ang tanang katawhan sa Israel.
When Saul’s son Ishbosheth heard that Abner had been killed at Hebron, [he realized that he might also be killed]. He became discouraged, and all the Israeli people (trembled/became afraid).
2 Karon ang anak ni Saul adunay duha ka mga lalaki nga kapitan sa duha ka pundok sa mga kasundalohan. Ang ngalan sa usa mao si Baana ug ang usa si Rekab, mga anak nga lalaki ni Rimon nga Beerotihanon sa katawhan sa Benjamin (kay ang Beerot giila usab nga kabahin sa Benjamin,
Ishbosheth had two officers who were leaders of groups that raided other villages. [They were brothers; ] their names were Baanah and Rechab, sons of Rimmon from Beeroth [town] in the tribe of Benjamin. Beeroth is in the area that had [been assigned to] the tribe of Benjamin.
3 ug ang mga Beerotihanon mikalagiw ngadto sa Gitaim ug nagpuyo sila didto hangtod karong panahona).
But the people of Beeroth had fled to Gittaim [town], and they still live there.
4 Karon si Jonatan, anak nga lalaki ni Saul, adunay anak nga lalaki nga nabakol ang tiil. Lima ka tuig ang iyang panuigon sa dihang ang balita mahitungod kang Saul ug kang Jonatan miabot gikan sa Jezreel. Gipunit siya sa iyang babayeng magbalantay ug midagan palayo. Apan samtang nagdagan siya, nahulog ang anak ni Jonatan ug nabakol. Ang iyang ngalan mao si Mefiboset.
Saul’s son Jonathan had a son named Mephibosheth. When Mephibosheth was five years old, Saul and Jonathan died in the battle. When people brought that news from Jezreel, Mephibosheth’s nursemaid picked him up and ran away. She ran very fast, with the result that she dropped him, and his legs became crippled.
5 Busa ang mga anak nga lalaki ni Rimon nga Beerotihanon, si Rekab ug Baana, mipanaw panahon sa udtong tutok ngadto sa balay ni Isboset, samtang nagpahulay siya panahon sa kaudtohon.
One day, Rechab and Baanah left [their home] to go to Ishbosheth’s house. They arrived there about noontime, when Ishbosheth was taking his midday nap.
6 Ang babaye nga nagbantay sa pultahan nakatulog samtang nagtahop sa trigo, unya hinayhinay nga naglakaw si Rekab ug Baana nga milabay kaniya.
The woman who was the doorkeeper was sifting wheat. While doing that, she became sleepy, and fell asleep. So Rechab and his brother Baanah were able to creep in quietly.
7 Busa human sila nakasulod sa balay, giataki nila siya ug gipatay samtang naghigda sa iyang higdaanan didto sa iyang kwarto. Unya gipunggotan nila siyag ulo ug gidala nila kini, mipanaw sila tibuok gabii ngadto sa Araba.
They entered Ishbosheth’s bedroom, where he was sleeping. They killed him [with their swords] and cut off his head. They carried his head and walked all night through the Jordan [River] Valley.
8 Gidala nila ang ulo ni Isboset kang David didto sa Hebron, ug miingon sila sa hari, “Tan-awa, mao kini ang ulo ni Isboset ang anak nga lalaki ni Saul, nga imong kaaway, nga maoy nangita sa imong kinabuhi. Karong adlawa nanimalos si Yahweh alang sa among agalon nga hari batok kang Saul ug sa iyang mga kaliwat.”
They took the head of Ishbosheth to David at Hebron. They said to him, “Here is the head of Ishbosheth, the son of your enemy Saul, who tried to kill you. Your majesty, today Yahweh has allowed you to get revenge on Saul and his descendants!”
9 Gitubag ni David si Rekab ug si Baana nga iyang igsoon, ang mga anak nga lalaki ni Rimon nga Beerotihanon; miingon siya kanila, “Ingon nga buhi si Yahweh, nga maoy nagluwas kanako sa tanang kasamok,
But David replied to them, “Yahweh is the one who has rescued me from all my troubles. And just as surely as Yahweh lives, what I am now saying is also true.
10 sa dihang adunay nag-ingon kanako, 'Tan-awa, patay na si Saul,' naghunahuna siya nga nagdala siya ug maayong balita, gidakop ko siya ug gipatay siya didto sa Siklag. Mao kadto ang ganti nga akong gihatag kaniya sa iyang balita.
When a messenger came to Ziklag and told me ‘Saul is dead!’ and he thought that the news that he was bringing to me was good news, I seized him and [commanded one of my soldiers to] kill him. That was the reward I gave to him for his news!
11 Unsa pa kaha sa dihang mipatay ang daotang mga tawo ug dili sad-an nga tawo sa iyang kaugalingong balay ug sa iyang higdaanan, dili ko ba singlon ang iyang dugo gikan sa inyong kamot, ug papason kamo sa kalibotan?”
So because you two evil men murdered a man who is (innocent/has done nothing wrong) when he was sleeping on his bed in his own house, I will do something worse to you. I will surely [RHQ] get revenge on you two for murdering [MTY] him, and (wipe you/cause you to disappear) from the earth!”
12 Unya gisugo ni David ang batan-ong mga lalaki, ug gipamatay nila sila ug gipamutol ang ilang mga kamot ug tiil ug gipangbitay kini tupad sa lanaw sa Hebron. Apan gikuha nila ang ulo ni Isboset ug gilubong kini sa lubnganan ni Abner didto sa Hebron.
Then, following David’s orders, his soldiers killed the two men, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hung their bodies (OR, their hands and feet) [on a pole] near the pool at Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth and buried it [respectfully] in the tomb of Abner, there at Hebron.
