< 2 Samuel 4 >

1 And when Sauls sonne heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, then his handes were feeble, and all Israel was afraide,
Awo Isubosesi mutabani wa Sawulo bwe yawulira Abuneeri ng’afiiridde e Kebbulooni, n’aggwaamu essuubi, ne Isirayiri yenna ne beeraliikirira.
2 And Sauls sonne had two men that were captaines of bandes: the one called Baanah, and the other called Rechab, the sonnes of Rimmon a Beerothite of the children of Beniamin. (for Beeroth was reckened to Beniamin,
Mutabani wa Sawulo oyo yalina abasajja be babiri, bombi nga baduumizi ba bibinja, omu nga ye Baana, n’owokubiri nga ye Lekabu. Baali batabani ba Limmoni Omubeerosi ng’ava mu kika kya Benyamini, kubanga Beerosi kyabalibwanga okuba ekimu ki bitundu bya Benyamini,
3 Because the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and soiourned there, vnto this day).
engeri abantu ab’e Beerosi bwe baddukira e Gittayimu, ne babeera eyo na guno gujwa.
4 And Ionathan Sauls sonne had a sonne that was lame on his feete: he was fiue yere olde when the tydings came of Saul and Ionathan out of Israel: then his nourse tooke him, and fledde away. And as she made haste to flee, the childe fell, and beganne to halte, and his name was Mephibosheth.
Yonasaani mutabani wa Sawulo yalina omwana owoobulenzi eyalemala ebigere. Yalina emyaka etaano egy’obukulu, amawulire agakwata ku kufa kwa Sawulo ne Yonasaani bwe gaasaasaanyizibwa okuva mu Yezuleeri. Naye eyamulabiriranga bwe yamusitula, ng’adduka okumuwonya, omwana n’agwa n’alemala. N’erinnya lye ye yali Mefibosesi.
5 And the sonnes of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah went and came in the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth (who slept on a bed at noone)
Awo Lekabu ne Baana batabani ba Limmoni Omubeerosi, ne balaga Isubosesi gye yabeeranga, ne batuuka mu ssaawa ez’etuntu, ne bamusanga ng’awummuddeko.
6 And beholde, Rechab and Baanah his brother came into the middes of the house as they would haue wheate, and they smote him vnder the fift ryb, and fled.
Ne bagenda mu kisenge eky’omunda ne baba ng’abajja okukima eŋŋaano, ne bamufumita mu lubuto, ne badduka.
7 For when they came into the house, he slept on his bed in his bed chamber, and they smote him, and slewe him, and beheaded him, and tooke his head, and gate them away through the plaine all the night.
Bwe bayingira mu nnyumba, baamusanga agalamidde ku kitanda mu kisenge kye, ne bamufumita ne bamutta, ne bamusalako n’omutwe. Ne batwala omutwe gwe, ne batambula ekiro kyonna mu kkubo erya Alaba.
8 And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth vnto Dauid to Hebron, and saide to the King, Beholde the head of Ish-bosheth Sauls sonne thine enemie, who sought after thy life: and the Lord hath auenged my lorde the King this day of Saul, and of his seede.
Omutwe gwa Isubosesi ne bagutwalira Dawudi e Kebbulooni, ne bamugamba nti, “Omutwe gwa Isubosesi mutabani wa Sawulo omulabe wo, eyayagala okukutta, guuguno. Leero Mukama awalanye eggwanga lya mukama waffe kabaka ku Sawulo n’ezzadde lye.”
9 Then Dauid answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sonnes of Rimmon the Beerothite, and saide vnto them, As the Lord liueth, who hath deliuered my soule out of al aduersity,
Naye Dawudi n’addamu Lekabu ne muganda we Baana, batabani ba Limmoni Omubeerosi nti, “Mukama nga bw’ali omulamu, alokodde obulamu bwange mu kibi kyonna,
10 When one tolde me, and sayde that Saul was dead, (thinking to haue brought good tydings) I tooke him and slewe him in Ziklag, who thought that I woulde haue giuen him a rewarde for his tidings:
omuntu bwe yaŋŋamba nti, ‘Sawulo afudde,’ n’alowooza nti yali andetedde amawulire amalungi, namukwata ne muttira e Zikulagi, era eyo ye yali empeera ye olw’amawulire ge yaleeta.
11 How much more, when wicked men haue slaine a righteous person in his owne house, and vpon his bed? shall I not now therfore require his blood at your hand, and take you from the earth?
Mulowooza nga tekirisingawo eri abasajja ababi abattidde omusajja ataliiko musango mu nnyumba ye, ku kitanda kye, ne nvunaana omusaayi gwe ku mmwe era ne mbazikiriza okuva ku nsi?”
12 Then Dauid commanded his yong men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feete, and hanged them vp ouer the poole in Hebron: but they tooke the head of Ishbosheth, and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
Awo Dawudi n’alagira abavubuka be, okutta abasajja abo. Ne babasalako engalo n’ebigere ne bawanika ebiwuduwudu okumpi n’ekidiba e Kebbulooni. Naye ne baddira omutwe gwa Isubosesi, ne baguziika mu ntaana ya Abuneeri e Kebbulooni.
