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.
Ke Ishbosheth, wen natul Saul, el lohng lah Abner el anwuki in acn Hebron, el arulana sangeng, ac mwet Israel nukewa elos fosrnga.
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,
Oasr mwet luo lal Ishbosheth su kol un mwet orek lokoalok. Inen mwet luo inge pa Baanah ac Rechab, wen natul Rimmon mwet Beeroth in sruf lal Benjamin. (Acn Beeroth oaoa nu ke ip lun Benjamin.
3 because the Beerothites fled to Gittaim and have lived there as foreigners to this day.
Mwet muta we meet ah elos tuh kaingla nu Gittaim, ac elos mutana we in pacl sac me.)
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.
Sie pac mwet ke fita lal Saul pa Mephibosheth, wen natul Jonathan. El yac limekosr ke pacl se Saul ac Jonathan anwuki. Ke pacl se pweng ke misa laltal ah tuku Jezreel me, na mutan se ma liyalang el sraklalak ac kaing. Tuh ke sripen sulaklak lal, tulik sac putatla liki inpaol, pwanang el sukapasla.
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.
Rechab ac Baanah som nu lohm sel Ishbosheth ac sun acn we ke infulwen len, falyang nu ke pacl el eis mongla infulwen len lal.
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.
Mutan se su muta liklik wheat ke mutunoa el mwetkeli ac motulla, na Rechab ac Baanah imyak nu in lohm ah.
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.
Eltal som nu ke nien motul lal Ishbosheth ke el motul folosuwosla, ac unilya. Na eltal pakela sifal ac us welultal, ac eltal fahsr Infahlfal Jordan fong nufon sac.
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.”
Eltal sang sifal nu sel Tokosra David in acn Hebron, ac fahk, “Pa inge sifal Ishbosheth wen natul Saul, mwet lokoalok lom, su tuh srike in unikomi. Misenge LEUM GOD El orala foloksak lom nu sel Saul ac fita lal.”
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,
David el topuk nu seltal, “Inge nga orala fulahk luk ke Inen LEUM GOD moul, su moliyula liki ongoiya nukewa!
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!
Mwet utuk kas se su tuku nu yuruk in acn Ziklag ac fahkma lah Saul el misa, el nunku mu el us pweng wo se. Tuh nga sruokilya ac sap in anwuki el. Pa ingan ma nga sang moli pweng se el us ah!
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!”
A faska ma ac fah sikyak nu sin mwet koluk inge su uniya sie mwet wangin mwatal ke el motul in lohm sel sifacna! Inge nga fah foloksak nu sumtal ke komtal unilya ah, ac nga ac ikomtalla liki faclu.”
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.
David el sap mwet lal in unilya Rechab ac Baanah, ac lusala paoltal ac nialtal, ac srupusrak apkuran nu ke lufin kof in acn Hebron. Elos usla sifal Ishbosheth ac pikinya inkulyuk lal Abner in acn Hebron.
