2 Samuel 4
1 Kane Ish-Bosheth wuod Saulo owinjo ni Abner nosetho Hebron, chunye noa, kendo Israel duto luoro nomako.
And Jebosthe the son of Saul heard that Abenner the son of Ner had died in Chebron; and his hands were paralyzed, and all the men of Israel grew faint.
2 Koro wuod Saulo ne ni kod ji ariyo mane otelo ni jolweny mane dhi peyo. Achiel kuomgi ne nyinge Baana to machielo ne iluongo ni Rekab; ne gin yawuot Rimon ja-Beeroth, moa dhood Benjamin nikech Beeroth ne ikwano kaka achiel kuom jo-Benjamin,
And Jebosthe the son of Saul had two men that were captains of bands: the name of the one [was] Baana, and the name of the other Rechab, sons of Remmon the Berothite of the children of Benjamin; for Beroth was reckoned to the children of Benjamin.
3 nikech jo-Beeroth noringo modhi Gitaim mi gibedo kuno kaka jodak nyaka chil kawuono.
And the Berothites ran away to Gethaim, and were sojourners there until this day.
4 Jonathan wuod Saulo ne nigi wuowi mane tiendene ariyo duto ongʼol. Ne en ja-higni abich kane wach Saulo gi Jonathan obiro koa Jezreel. Japite ne okawe mi oringo, kane orikni mondo owuogi nyathi nogore piny mobet rangʼol. Nyinge ne en Mefibosheth.
And Jonathan Saul's son [had] a son lame of his feet, five years old, and he was [in the way] when the news of Saul and Jonathan his son came from Jezrael, and his nurse took him up, and fled; and it came to pass as he hasted and retreated, that he fell, and was lamed. And his name [was] Memphibosthe.
5 Koro Rekab gi Baana, yawuot Rimon ja-Beeroth, ne owuok mondo odhi e od Ish-Boseth, negichopo odiechiengʼ tir sa ma piny liet, noyudo ka oyweyo.
And Rechab and Baana the sons of Remmon the Berothite went, and they came in the heat of the day into the house of Jebosthe; and he was sleeping on a bed at noon.
6 Negidonjo e ot maiye ka gima gidwaro kawo ngʼatno kendo, negichwowo bund iye. Eka Rekab gi owadgi ma Baana nopusore modhi.
And, behold, the porter of the house winnowed wheat, and he slumbered and slept: and the brothers Rechab and Baana went privily into the house:
7 Negidonjo e ot kane oyudo onindo e kitandane e ode kor nindo. Bangʼ kane gisechwowe ma ginege, negingʼado wiye oko. Negikawo wiye ma gidhigo kendo negiwuotho otieno duto ka giluwo yor Araba.
And Jebosthe was sleeping on his bed in his chamber: and they strike him, and kill him, and take off his head: and they took his head, and went all the night by the western road.
8 Negikelo wi Ish-Boseth ni Daudi e piny Hebron mi giwachone ruoth niya, “Ma en wi Ish-Boseth wuod Saulo ma jasiki, mane dwaro negi. Odiechiengni Jehova Nyasaye osechako chulo kuor ni Saulo gi kothe ne ruodha ma en ruoth.”
And they brought the head of Jebosthe to David to Chebron, and they said to the king, Behold the head of Jebosthe the son of Saul your enemy, who sought your life; and the Lord has executed for my lord the king vengeance on his enemies, as [it is] this day: even on Saul your enemy, and on his seed.
9 Daudi nodwoko Rekab gi owadgi ma Baana yawuot Rimon ja-Beeroth niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima, moseresa e masiche duto,
And David answered and Rechab and Baana his brother, the sons of Remmon the Berothite, and said to them, [As] the Lord lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all affliction;
10 kane ngʼato owachona ni, ‘Saulo otho,’ noparo ni okelona wach maber. Ne amake mine onege Ziklag. Mano e mich manamiye kuom kelona wach.
he that reported to me that Saul was dead, even he was as one bringing glad tidings before me: but I seized him and killed him in Sekelac, to whom I ought, [as he thought], to have given a reward for his tidings.
11 To koro nachiw kum malit machalo nadi ka joricho osenego ngʼat maonge ketho e ode owuon kendo e kitandane owuon? Donge owinjore mondo achulni kuor kuom remo ma usechwero, mondo ua e piny!”
And now evil men have slain a righteous men in his house on his bed: now then I will require his blood of your hand, and I will destroy you from off the earth.
12 Omiyo nochiwo chik ni joge, mine ginegogi. Negingʼado lwetgi gi tiendgi mine giliero ringregi e dho yawo man Hebron. Negikawo wi Ish-Boseth ma giyiko e liend Abner e Hebron.
And David commanded his young men, and they kill them, and cut off their hands and their feet; and they hung them up at the fountain in Chebron: and they buried the head of Jebosthe in the tomb of Abenezer the son of Ner.
