2 Samuel 4
1 And when Saul's son Ish-bosheth had news that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.
Nang nabalitaan ni Isboset, lalaking anak ni Saul, na namatay si Abner sa Hebron, nanghina ang kaniyang mga kamay, at nagkagulo ang buong Israel.
2 And Saul's son had two men, captains of bands, one named Baanah and the other Rechab, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the tribe of Benjamin; (for Beeroth was at one time taken to be part of Benjamin:
Ngayon ang lalaking anak ni Saul ay mayroong dalawang tauhan na mga kapitan ng mga pangkat sundalo. Baana ang pangalan ng isa at Recab ang isa, mga lalaking anak ni Rimon na taga-Beerot na mga tao ni Benjamin (dahil ang Beerot ay itinuring na bahagi ng Benjamin,
3 But the people of Beeroth had gone in flight to Gittaim, where they have been living to this day.)
at tumakas ang mga taga-Beerot putungong Gittaim at naninirahan sila roon hanggang sa panahong ito).
4 Now Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son whose feet were damaged. He was five years old when news of the death of Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel, and the woman who took care of him took him up and went in flight: and while she was getting him away as quickly as she was able, he had a fall and his feet were damaged. His name was Mephibosheth.
Ngayon si Jonatan, lalaking anak ni Saul, ay mayroong isang lalaking anak na lumpo sa kaniyang mga paa. Limang taon gulang siya nang nabalitaan niya ang tungkol kina Saul at Jonatan na nagmula sa Jezreel. Binuhat siya ng kaniyang tagapangalaga para tumakas. Pero habang tumatakbo siya, natumba ang lalaking anak ni Jonatan at naging lumpo. Mefiboset ang kanyang pangalan.
5 And Rechab and Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, went out and came to the house of Ish-bosheth in the heat of the day, when he was resting in the middle of the day. Now the woman who kept the door was cleaning grain, and sleep overcame her.
Kaya ang mga anak na lalaki ni Rimon na taga-Beerot, na sina Recab at baana ay naglakbay ng ang panahon ay mainit papunta sa tahanan ni Isboset, habang siya ay nagpapahinga sa tanghali.
6 And Rechab and his brother Baanah got in without being seen.
Nakatulog ang babaeng nagbabantay sa pintuan habang sinasala ang trigo, at pumasok sina Recab at Baana nang tahimik at dinaanan siya.
7 And when they came into the house, Ish-bosheth was stretched on his bed in his bedroom; and they made an attack on him and put him to death, and, cutting off his head, they took it with them and went by the road through the Arabah all night.
Kaya pagkatapos nilang pumasok ng bahay, sinalakay nila siya at pinatay habang nakahiga siya sa kaniyang higaan sa kaniyang silid. Pagkatapos pinugutan nila siya ng ulo at dinala ito palayo, buong gabi silang naglalakbay sa daan patungong Araba.
8 And they took the head of Ish-bosheth to David in Hebron, and said to the king, Here is the head of Ish-bosheth, the son of Saul your hater, who would have taken your life; the Lord has taken payment for the wrongs of my lord the king from Saul and his seed today.
Dinala nila ang ulo ni Isboset kay David sa Hebron, at sinabi nila sa hari, “Tingnan mo, ito ang ulo ni Isboset na lalaking anak ni Saul, ang iyong kaaway, na nagbabanta sa iyong buhay. Sa araw na ito pinaghigantihan ni Yahweh na ating panginoon si haring si Saul at kaniyang mga kaapu-apuhan.”
9 And David made answer to Rechab and his brother Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, By the living Lord, who has kept me safe from all my trouble,
Sinagot ni David sina Recab at Baana na kaniyang kapatid, ang mga lalaking anak ni Rimon na taga-Beerot; sinabi niya sa kanila, “Habang nabubuhay si Yahweh, ang nagligtas sa aking buhay mula sa bawat kaguluhan,
10 When one came to me with the news of Saul's death, in the belief that it would be good news, I took him and put him to death in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news:
nang sinabihan ako ng isang tao, 'Tingnan mo, patay na si Saul,' iniisip ko na nagdadala siya ng mabuting balita, hinuli ko siya at pinatay sa Himat Ziklag. Iyon ang gantimpala na ibinigay ko sa kaniya para sa kaniyang balita.
11 How much more, when evil men have put an upright person to death, in his house, sleeping on his bed, will I take payment from you for his blood, and have you cut off from the earth?
Gaano pa kaya, kapag pinatay ng mga masasamang lalaki ang isang taong walang kasalanan sa kaniyang sariling bahay sa kaniyang higaan, hindi ko ba dapat hingin ang kaniyang dugo ngayon mula sa inyong kamay, at aalisin kayo sa mundo?”
12 And David gave orders to his young men and they put them to death, cutting off their hands and their feet and hanging them up by the side of the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth and put it in its last resting-place with Abner's body in Hebron.
Pagkatapos nagbigay si David ng utos sa mga binata, at pinatay nila sila at pinutol ang kanilang mga kamay at paa at isinabit sila sa tabi ng lawa sa Hebron. Pero kinuha nila ang ulo ni Isboset at inilibing ito sa libingan ni Abner sa Hebron.
