2 Samuel 4
1 Kane Ish-Bosheth wuod Saulo owinjo ni Abner nosetho Hebron, chunye noa, kendo Israel duto luoro nomako.
Now when Ishbaal, Saul's son, heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, he lost courage, and all Israel was troubled.
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 Ishbaal, Saul's son, had two men who were captains of bands; the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the people of Benjamin (for Beeroth was regarded as belonging to the people of Benjamin;
3 nikech jo-Beeroth noringo modhi Gitaim mi gibedo kuno kaka jodak nyaka chil kawuono.
and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have lived as foreigners 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.
Now Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son whose feet were crippled. He was five years old when the news came of Saul and Jonathan from Jezreel, and his nurse took him up and fled. And it happened as she was hurrying to get away that he fell and was injured. And his name was Mippibaal.
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.
The sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbaal, as he took his rest 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 look, the doorkeeper of the house had been sifting wheat, and she became drowsy and fell asleep. And Rechab and his brother Baanah slipped by.
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 they went into the house where he was lying on his bed in his bedchamber. And they struck him and killed him, and beheaded him. And they took his head and went by the way of the Arabah all night.
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.”
They brought the head of Ishbaal to David at Hebron, and said to the king, "Look, the head of Ishbaal, the son of Saul, your enemy, who sought your life. The LORD has avenged my lord the king this day of Saul and his descendants."
9 Daudi nodwoko Rekab gi owadgi ma Baana yawuot Rimon ja-Beeroth niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima, moseresa e masiche duto,
David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, "As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
10 kane ngʼato owachona ni, ‘Saulo otho,’ noparo ni okelona wach maber. Ne amake mine onege Ziklag. Mano e mich manamiye kuom kelona wach.
when someone told me, 'Look, Saul is dead,' thinking to have brought good news, I took hold of him, and killed him in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news.
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!”
How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house on his bed, shall I not now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from 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.
David commanded his young men, and they killed them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbaal, and buried it in the grave of Abner son of Ner.
