< Kings II 4 >

1 And Jebosthe the son of Saul heard that Abenner the son of Ner had died in Chebron; and his hands were paralysed, and all the men of Israel grew faint.
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 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.
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 And the Berothites ran away to Gethaim, and were sojourners there until this day.
at tumakas ang mga taga-Beerot putungong Gittaim at naninirahan sila roon hanggang sa panahong ito).
4 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.
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 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.
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, behold, the porter of the house winnowed wheat, and he slumbered and slept: and the brothers Rechab and Baana went privily into the house:
Nakatulog ang babaeng nagbabantay sa pintuan habang sinasala ang trigo, at pumasok sina Recab at Baana nang tahimik at dinaanan siya.
7 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.
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 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.
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 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;
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
