2 Samuel 4
1 And when Saul's son heard that Abner had died in Hebron, his hands became enfeebled, and all the Israelites were troubled.
撒烏耳的兒子依市巴耳，一聽見阿貝乃爾死在赫貝龍，就慌了手腳，全以色列大驚。
2 And Saul's son had two men who were captains of bands; the name of the one was Ba'anah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin: (for Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin:
撒烏耳的兒子依市巴耳有兩個土匪頭目：一個名叫巴阿納，一個名叫勒加布，是本雅明子孫貝洛特人黎孟的兒子，──貝洛特被認為是本雅明族，
3 And the Beerothites had fled to Gittayim, and remained sojourners there until this day.)
因為貝洛特人逃到了基塔殷，僑居在那裏，直到今日。
4 And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was lame on both feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan from Yizre'el, and his nurse took him up and fled: and it came to pass, in her haste to flee, that he fell, and was rendered lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.
撒烏耳的兒子約納堂有個兒子雙足跛了，當撒烏耳與約納堂的凶信由依次勒耳傳來時，他只有五歲，他的乳母帶他逃跑，在慌張逃跑中，他跌瘸了腿；他名叫默黎巴耳。
5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Ba'anah, went, and came at the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth, who was just lying in bed as usual at noon.
貝洛特人黎孟的兒子勒加布和巴阿納出去，正當中午炎熱的時候，到了依市巴耳家裏，他正在床上睡午覺。
6 And they came thither into the interior of the house, as buyers of wheat; and they smote him under the fifth rib: and Rechab and Ba'anah his brother escaped.
看門的女僕在篩麥子，也打盹睡著了。此時勒加布和他兄弟巴阿納溜進去，
7 Namely, they came into the house, while he was lying on his bed in his sleeping-chamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and cut off his head, and took his head, and went by the way of the plain all the night.
到了屋內，見依市巴耳正睡在臥室的床上，便將他打死，砍下他的頭，帶著頭，在阿辣巴的大路上走了一夜。
8 And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth unto David to Hebron, and they said to the king, Behold, here is the head of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul thy enemy, who sought thy life: and the Lord hath granted to my lord the king vengeance this day on Saul, and on his seed.
他們帶著依市巴耳的頭，到了赫貝龍見達味王說：「大王的仇人撒烏耳常謀害你的性命；看，他兒子依市巴耳的頭；上主今天為我主向撒烏耳和他的後代報了仇。」
9 But David answered Rechab and Ba'anah 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,
但是，達味答覆貝洛特人黎孟的兒子勒加布和他兄弟巴阿納說：「我指著那救我脫離了一切患難的永生上主起誓：
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, who [thought] that I should give him a reward for his tidings:
那告訴我說：撒烏耳死了的，自以為是報喜信，我卻拿住他，在漆刻拉格殺了，作為他報信的賞報；
11 How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous man in his own house upon his bed? and now, behold, I will require his blood of your hand, and I will remove you away from the earth.
那麼，現在這些匪徒，偷進人屋，殺了睡在床上的義人，我豈不更該從你們手中追討他的血債，將你們由地上剷除﹖」
12 And David gave the command to the young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up by the pool in Hebron. But the head of Ish-bosheth they took, and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
達味遂命自己的僮僕，殺了他們，砍去他們的手足，掛在赫貝龍的池旁；至於依市巴耳的頭，叫人拿去葬在赫貝龍，阿貝乃爾的墳墓內。
