2 Samuel 4
1 Then Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, heard that Abner had fallen in Hebron. And his hands were weakened, and all of Israel was troubled.
A, no ka rongo a Ihipohete, te tama a Haora kua mate a Apanere ki Heperona, na ngohe noa iho ona ringi, a raru ana a Iharaira katoa.
2 Now the son of Saul had two men, leaders among robbers. The name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other was Rechab, sons of Rimmon, a Beerothite from the sons of Benjamin. For indeed, Beeroth, too, was reputed with Benjamin.
Na tokorua nga tangata a Ihipohete, te tama a Haora, he rangatira ngohi, ko te ingoa o tetahi ko Paana, ko te ingoa hoki o tetahi ko Rekapa, he tama na Rimono Peeroti, no nga tama a Pineamine; i kiia hoki a Peeroto no Pineamine.
3 And the Beerothites had fled into Gittaim. And they were strangers there, until that time.
I rere hoki nga Peeroti ki Kitaima, a noho ana i reira a taea noatia tenei ra.
4 Now Jonathan, the son of Saul, had a son with disabled feet. For he was five years old when the report about Saul and Jonathan arrived from Jezreel. And so, his nurse, taking him up, fled. And while she was hurrying, so that she might flee, he fell and was made lame. And he was called Mephibosheth.
Na he tama ta Honatana tama a Haora, he kopa ona waewae. E rima nga tau o tona whanautanga i te taenga mai o te rongo o Haora raua ko Honatana i Ietereere, na ka mau tona kaihiki ki a ia, a rere ana: a, i a ia e taika ana ki te rere, ka hinga ia, kopa tonu iho; ko Mepipohete tona ingoa.
5 And so, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, arrived and entered the house of Ishbosheth, in the heat of the day. And he was sleeping on his bed at midday. And the doorkeeper of the house, who was cleaning the wheat, fell fast asleep.
Na ka haere nga tama a Rimono Peeroti, a Rekapa raua ko Paana, a haere ana i te mahanatanga o te ra ki te whare o Ihipohete, i a ia e okioki ana i te poutumarotanga.
6 Then they entered the house secretly, taking the ears of grain. And Rechab and his brother Baanah stabbed him in the groin, and they fled away.
Na haere ana raua ki reira ki waenganui o te whare, me te mea he tiki witi mai ta raua; na patua iho ia ki te kopu, a rere ana a Rakapa raua ko tona teina, ko Paana.
7 For when they had entered the house, he was sleeping on his bed in a closed room. And striking him, they killed him. And taking his head, they departed by the way of the desert, walking throughout the night.
I to raua haerenga hoki ki te whare, i te takoto tera i tona whare moenga; na patua ana ia e raua, whakamatea iho, na tangohia ana tona upoko, a mauria ana tona upoko. Na pau katoa taua po i a raua e haere ana na te ara o te mania.
8 And they brought the head of Ishbosheth to David in Hebron. And they said to the king: “Behold, the head of Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, your enemy, who was seeking your life. And so, the Lord has avenged my lord the king, this day, from Saul and from his offspring.”
Na kawea ana e raua te upoko o Ihipohete ki a Rawiri ki Heperona, a ka mea ki te kingi, Nana, te matenga o Ihipohete tama a Haora, o tou hoariri i whai nei kia whakamatea koe; na kua mea nei a Ihowa i toku ariki, i te kingi kia whai utu i tenei r a i a Haora ratou ko ona uri.
9 But David, responding to Rechab and his brother Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, said to them: “As the Lord lives who has rescued my soul from all distress,
Na ka whakahoki a Rawiri ki ta Rekapa raua ko tona teina, ko Paana, ki ta nga tama a Rimono Peeroti, ka mea ia ki a raua, E ora ana a Ihowa i whakaora nei i toku wairua i roto i nga he katoa,
10 the one who reported to me and said, ‘Saul is dead,’ who was thinking that he announced good news, I apprehended. And at Ziklag I killed him who ought to have been given a reward for the news.
I te korerotanga mai a tetahi ki ahau, i te meatanga, Nana, kua mate a Haora, tohu noa ia he kaikawe mai ia i nga korero pai, hopukia ana ia e ahau, patua iho ki Tikiraka; ko te utu tera i hoatu e ahau mo tana korero.
11 How much more so now, when impious men have put to death an innocent man in his own house, upon his bed, shall I not require his blood from your hand, and take you away from the earth?”
Tena ko tenei ka patu te hunga kino i te tangata tika i roto i tona whare, i runga ano i tona moenga, e kore ianei ahau e rapu i ona toto aianei i o korua ringa, e huna hoki i a korua i runga i te whenua?
12 And so, David commanded his servants, and they put them to death. And cutting off their hands and feet, they suspended them up over the pool in Hebron. But the head of Ishbosheth they took and buried in the sepulcher of Abner at Hebron.
Na whakahaua ana nga taitamariki e Rawiri, a patua ana raua e ratou, tapahia ana hoki o raua ringa me o raua waewae, whakairihia ake ki runga i te poka wai i Heperona. Ko te upoko ia o Ihipohete i tangohia, i tanumia ki te tanumanga o Apanere ki Heperona.
