2 Samuel 4
1 And Isboseth the son of Saul heard that Abner was slain in Hebron: and his hands were weakened, and all Israel was troubled.
At nang mabalitaan ni Is-boseth, na anak ni Saul, na si Abner ay patay na sa Hebron, ang kaniyang mga kamay ay nanghina, at ang lahat na taga Israel ay nabagabag.
2 Now the son of Saul had two men captains of his bands, the name of the one was Baana, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Remmon a Berothite of the children of Benjamin: for Beroth also was reckoned in Benjamin.
At si Is-boseth, na anak ni Saul, ay may dalawang lalake na mga punong kawal sa mga pulutong: ang pangalan ng isa ay Baana, at ang pangalan ng isa ay Rechab, na mga anak ni Rimmon na Beerothita sa mga anak ni Benjamin: (sapagka't ang Beeroth din naman ay ibinilang sa Benjamin:
3 And the Berothites fled into Gethaim, and were sojourners there until that time.
At ang mga Beerothita ay nagsitakas sa Githaim, at nangakipamayan doon hanggang sa araw na ito.)
4 And Jonathan the son of Saul bad a son that was lame of his feet: for he was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan from Jezrahel. And his nurse took him up and fled: and as she made haste to flee, he fell and became lame: and his name was Miphiboseth.
Si Jonathan nga na anak ni Saul, ay may isang anak na pilay sa kaniyang mga paa. Siya'y may limang taon nang dumating ang balita tungkol kay Saul at kay Jonathan na mula sa Jezreel, at kinalong siya ng kaniyang yaya at tumakas: at nangyari, habang siya'y nagmamadali ng pagtakas, na siya'y nabagsak, at naging pilay. At ang kaniyang pangalan ay Mephiboseth.
5 And the sons of Remmon the Berothite, Rechab and Baana coming, went into the house of Isboseth in the heat of the day: and he was sleeping upon his bed at noon. And the doorkeeper of the house, who was cleansing wheat, was fallen asleep.
At ang mga anak ni Rimmon na Beerothita, na si Rechab at si Baana, ay nagsiyaon at nagsiparoon ng may kainitan ang araw sa bahay ni Is-boseth, na doon siya nagpahinga sa katanghalian tapat.
6 And they entered into the house secretly taking ears of corn, and Rechab and Baana his brother stabbed him in the groin, and fled away.
At sila'y nagsipasok doon sa gitna ng bahay, na parang sila'y kukuha ng trigo; at kanilang sinaktan siya sa tiyan; at si Rechab at si Baana na kaniyang kapatid ay nangagtanan.
7 For when they came into the house, be was sleeping upon his bed in a parlour, and they struck him and killed him: and taking away his head they went off by the way of the wilderness, walking all night.
Sapagka't nang sila nga'y magsipasok sa bahay habang siya'y nahihiga sa kaniyang higaan sa kaniyang silid, kanilang sinaktan siya, at pinatay siya, at pinugutan siya ng ulo, at dinala ang kaniyang ulo at nagpatuloy ng lakad sa Araba buong gabi.
8 And they brought the head of Isboseth to David to Hebron: and they said to the king: Behold the head of Isboseth the son of Saul thy enemy who sought thy life: and the Lord hath revenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.
At kanilang dinala ang ulo ni Is-boseth kay David sa Hebron, at sinabi nila sa hari, Tingnan mo ang ulo ni Is-boseth na anak ni Saul na iyong kaaway na umuusig ng iyong buhay; at ipinanghiganti ng Panginoon ang aking panginoon na hari sa araw na ito kay Saul, at sa kaniyang binhi.
9 But David answered Rechab, and Baana his brother, the sons of Remmon the Berothite, and said to them: As the Lord liveth, who hath delivered my soul out of all distress,
At sinagot ni David si Rechab at si Baana na kaniyang kapatid, na mga anak ni Rimmon na Beerothita, at sinabi sa kanila, Buhay ang Panginoon na siyang tumubos ng aking kaluluwa sa buong kahirapan.
10 The man that told me, and said: Saul is dead, who thought he brought good tidings, I apprehended, and slew him in Siceleg, who should have been rewarded for his news.
Nang saysayin sa akin ng isa, na sinasabi, Narito, si Saul ay namatay, na inakala niyang nagdala siya ng mabuting balita, ay aking hinawakan siya, at pinatay ko siya sa Siclag na siyang kagantihang ibinigay ko sa kaniya dahil sa kaniyang balita.
11 How much more now when wicked men have slain an innocent man in his own house, upon his bed, shall I not require his blood at your hand, and take you away from the earth?
Gaano pa kaya kung pinatay ng masasamang lalake ang isang matuwid na tao sa kaniyang sariling bahay, sa kaniyang higaan, hindi ko ba sisiyasatin ngayon ang kaniyang dugo sa inyong kamay, at aalisin kayo sa lupa?
12 And David commanded his servants and they slew them: and cutting off their hands and feet, hanged them up over the pool in Hebron: but the head of Isboseth they took and buried in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
At iniutos ni David sa kaniyang mga bataan, at pinatay nila sila, at pinutol ang kanilang mga kamay at ang kanilang mga paa, at mga ibinitin sa tabi ng tangke sa Hebron. Nguni't kanilang kinuha ang ulo ni Is-boseth, at inilibing sa libingan ni Abner sa Hebron.
