2 Samuel 4
1 When Ishbosheth, son of Saul, heard that Abner had died in Hebron, he was very discouraged, and everyone in Israel was shocked.
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 Ishbosheth had two commanders of his raiding bands, brothers by the name of Baanah and Rechab. They were the sons of Rimmon of the tribe of Benjamin from the town of Beeroth. Beeroth is considered part of the territory 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 because the people who had lived in Beeroth before ran away to Gittaim and lived there as foreigners right up to the present.
at tumakas ang mga taga-Beerot putungong Gittaim at naninirahan sila roon hanggang sa panahong ito).
4 Jonathan, son of Saul, had a son lame in both feet. He was five years old when the news about the deaths of Saul and Jonathan had come from Jezreel. His nurse had picked him up and ran away, but as she rushed to get away, he fell and became lame. 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 Rechab and Baanah, sons of Rimmon from Beeroth, went to Ishbosheth's house, arriving in the heat of the day as the king was taking his midday rest.
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 The woman doorkeeper had been cleaning wheat, but she had grown tired and fallen asleep, so Rechab and Baanah were able to slip inside.
Nakatulog ang babaeng nagbabantay sa pintuan habang sinasala ang trigo, at pumasok sina Recab at Baana nang tahimik at dinaanan siya.
7 They had gone into the house while Ishbosheth was asleep on his bed in his bedroom. After stabbing and killing him, they cut off his head which they took with them, and they traveled all night by the Jordan Valley 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 They took the head of Ishbosheth to David in Hebron. They told the king, “Here is the head of Ishbosheth, son of Saul, your enemy who tried to kill you. Today the Lord has taken revenge on Saul and his family for my lord the king.”
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 But David answered Rechab and his brother Baanah, sons of Rimmon from Beeroth, “As the Lord lives, who has saved me from all my troubles,
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 someone told me, ‘Look, Saul is dead’ and he thought he was bringing me good news, I grabbed him and had him put him to death at Ziklag. That was what he got for bringing me 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 Even more so then, when evil men kill a good man in his own house, and in his own bed, shouldn't I demand you pay for his life with your own lives, and exterminate you!”
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 David gave the order to his men, and they killed Rechab and Baanah. They chopped off their hands and feet, and hung their bodies by the pool in Hebron. Then they took Ishbosheth's head and buried it in Abner's grave 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.
