2 Samuel 4
1 Now when Ish-bosheth son of Saul heard that Abner had died in Hebron, he lost courage, and all Israel was dismayed.
Ketika didengar anak Saul, bahwa Abner sudah mati di Hebron, maka hilanglah keberaniannya, dan terkejutlah seluruh orang Israel.
2 Saul’s son had two men who were leaders of raiding parties. One was named Baanah and the other Rechab; they were sons of Rimmon the Beerothite of the tribe of Benjamin—Beeroth is considered part of Benjamin,
Anak Saul mempunyai dua orang sebagai kepala gerombolan, yang satu bernama Baana dan yang kedua bernama Rekhab, keduanya anak Rimon, orang Benyamin dari Beerot. --Sebab Beerotpun terhitung daerah Benyamin.
3 because the Beerothites fled to Gittaim and have lived there as foreigners to this day.
Orang Beerot sudah melarikan diri ke Gitaim dan menjadi pendatang di sana sampai sekarang. --
4 And Jonathan son of Saul had a son who was lame in his feet. He was five years old when the report about Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel. His nurse picked him up and fled, but as she was hurrying to escape, he fell and became lame. His name was Mephibosheth.
Yonatan, anak Saul, mempunyai seorang anak laki-laki, yang cacat kakinya. Ia berumur lima tahun, ketika datang kabar tentang Saul dan Yonatan dari Yizreel. Inang pengasuhnya mengangkat dia pada waktu itu, lalu lari, tetapi karena terburu-buru larinya, anak itu jatuh dan menjadi timpang. Ia bernama Mefiboset.
5 Now Rechab and Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, set out and arrived at the house of Ish-bosheth in the heat of the day, while the king was taking his midday nap.
Anak-anak Rimon, orang Beerot itu, yakni Rekhab dan Baana, pergi, lalu sampai pada waktu hari panas terik ke rumah Isyboset, ketika ia sedang berbaring siang hari.
6 They entered the interior of the house as if to get some wheat, and they stabbed him in the stomach. Then Rechab and his brother Baanah slipped away.
Kebetulan penjaga pintu rumah itu mengantuk dan tertidur, ketika sedang membersihkan gandum. Demikianlah Rekhab dan Baana menyusup ke dalam.
7 They had entered the house while Ish-bosheth was lying on his bed, and having stabbed and killed him, they beheaded him, took his head, and traveled all night by way of the Arabah.
Mereka masuk ke dalam rumah itu, ketika Isyboset sedang berbaring di atas tempat tidurnya di dalam kamar tidurnya, membunuh dia lalu memenggal kepalanya. Mereka membawa kepalanya itu, lalu berjalan semalam-malaman melalui jalan dari Araba-Yordan.
8 They brought the head of Ish-bosheth to David at Hebron and said to the king, “Here is the head of Ish-bosheth son of Saul, your enemy who sought your life. Today the LORD has granted vengeance to my lord the king against Saul and his offspring.”
Kepala Isyboset itu dibawa mereka kepada Daud di Hebron dan mereka berkata kepada raja: "Inilah kepala Isyboset, anak Saul, musuhmu itu, yang ingin mencabut nyawamu; TUHAN pada hari ini telah membiarkan tuanku raja mengadakan pembalasan atas Saul dan atas keturunannya."
9 But David answered Rechab and his brother Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, “As surely as the LORD lives, who has redeemed my life from all distress,
Tetapi Daud menjawab Rekhab dan Baana, saudaranya, anak-anak Rimon, orang Beerot itu, katanya kepada mereka: "Demi TUHAN yang hidup, yang telah membebaskan nyawaku dari segala kesesakan!
10 when someone told me, ‘Look, Saul is dead,’ and thought he was a bearer of good news, I seized him and put him to death at Ziklag. That was his reward for his news!
Ketika ada orang yang membawa kabar kepadaku demikian: Saul sudah mati! dan memandang dirinya sebagai orang yang menyampaikan kabar baik, maka aku menangkap dan membunuh dia di Ziklag, dan dengan demikian aku memberikan kepadanya upah kabarnya;
11 How much more, when wicked men kill a righteous man in his own house and on his own bed, shall I not now require his blood from your hands and remove you from the earth!”
terlebih lagi sekarang, setelah orang-orang fasik membunuh seorang yang benar, di rumahnya di atas tempat tidurnya, tidakkah aku menuntut darahnya dari pada kamu dan melenyapkan kamu dari muka bumi?"
12 So David commanded his young men, and they killed Rechab and Baanah. They cut off their hands and feet and hung their bodies by the pool in Hebron, but they took the head of Ish-bosheth and buried it in Abner’s tomb in Hebron.
Sesudah itu Daud memberi perintah kepada anak buahnya untuk membunuh mereka; tangan dan kaki mereka dipotong, kemudian mayat mereka digantung di tepi telaga di Hebron. Tetapi kepala Isyboset diambil dan dikuburkan di dalam kubur Abner di Hebron.
