2 Samuel 4
1 And when Saul's son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were affrighted.
Isiboseti mwana wa Sauli atamva kuti Abineri waphedwa ku Hebroni, anataya mtima ndipo Aisraeli onse anachita mantha kwambiri.
2 And Saul's son had two men that were captains of bands; the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin; for Beeroth also is reckoned to Benjamin;
Koma Isiboseti anali ndi anthu akuluakulu awiri amene ankatsogolera magulu a ankhondo. Mmodzi mwa iwo dzina lake linali Baana ndipo mnzakeyo anali Rekabu. Iwo anali ana a Rimoni wa banja la Beeroti wa fuko la Benjamini Beeroti. Iwo ankatengedwa ngati mbali imodzi ya Benjamini,
3 and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have been sojourners there until this day.
chifukwa anthu a ku Beeroti anathawira ku Gitaimu ndipo akhala ali kumeneko ngati alendo mpaka lero lino.
4 Now Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled; and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.
(Yonatani mwana wa Sauli anali ndi mwana wamwamuna amene anali wolumala mapazi ake onse awiri. Iye anali ndi zaka zisanu pamene nkhani ya Sauli ndi Yonatani inamveka kuchokera ku Yezireeli. Amene amamulera anamunyamula ndi kuthawa naye, koma pamene amachita zinthu mofulumira mwanayo anagwa ndipo analumala. Dzina lake linali Mefiboseti).
5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth, as he took his rest at noon.
Choncho Rekabu ndi Baana ana a Rimoni wa ku Beeroti ananyamuka kupita ku nyumba ya Isi-Boseti, ndipo anafika nthawi ya masana kukutentha pamene iye amapumula.
6 And they came thither into the midst of the house, as though they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him in the groin; and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
Iwo analowa mʼchipinda chamʼkati ngati kuti amakatenga tirigu, ndipo anamulasa mʼmimba. Kenaka Rekabu ndi mʼbale wake Baana anathawa.
7 Now when they came into the house, as he lay on his bed in his bed-chamber, they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and went by the way of the Arabah all night.
Iwo analowa mʼnyumbamo iye akugona pa bedi mʼchipinda chake. Atamulasa ndi kumupha, anadula mutu wake nʼkuwutenga, nayenda usiku wonse mʼnjira yopita ku Araba.
8 And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king: 'Behold the head of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul thine enemy, who sought thy life; and the LORD hath avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.'
Iwo anabweretsa mutu wa Isi-Boseti kwa Davide ku Hebroni ndipo anati kwa mfumu, “Nawu mutu wa Isiboseti mwana wa Sauli, mdani wanu, amene anafuna kukuphani. Lero lino Yehova wabwezera mbuye wanga mfumu adani anu, Sauli ndi ana ake.”
9 And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them: 'As the LORD liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
Davide anayankha Rekabu ndi mʼbale wake Baana, ana a Rimoni wa ku Beeroti kuti, “Pali Yehova wamoyo, amene wandipulumutsa ku mavuto anga onse,
10 when one told me, saying: Behold, Saul is dead, and he was in his own eyes as though he brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, instead of giving a reward for his tidings.
pamene munthu wina anandiwuza kuti, ‘Sauli wafa’ ndipo ankaganiza kuti wabweretsa nkhani yabwino, ine ndinamugwira ndi kumupha ku Zikilagi. Iyi inali mphotho imene ndinapereka kwa iyeyo chifukwa cha uthenga wake!
11 How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed, shall I not now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?'
Nanji pamene anthu oyipa apha munthu wosalakwa ali mʼnyumba mwake ndiponso pa bedi lake! Kodi ine ndingaleke kukulangani ndi kukuchotsani pa dziko lapansi pano?”
12 And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth, and buried it in the grave of Abner in Hebron.
Kotero Davide analamulira ankhondo ake, ndipo anawapha. Iwo anawadula manja ndi mapazi ndi kupachika matupi awo pa dziwe la ku Hebroni. Koma anatenga mutu wa Isi-Boseti nawuyika mʼmanda a Abineri ku Hebroni.
