2 Samuel 4
1 And the son of Saul hears that Abner [is] dead in Hebron, and his hands are feeble, and all of Israel has been troubled.
Lè Ichbochèt, pitit Sayil la, pran nouvèl jan Abnè te mouri lavil Ebwon, kè l' kase nèt. Tout pèp Izrayèl la te tèt anba.
2 And two men, heads of troops, have been [to] the son of Saul, the name of the first [is] Baanah, and the name of the second Rechab, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the sons of Benjamin, for Beeroth is also reckoned to Benjamin,
Ichbochèt te gen nan lame li a de chèf piyajè ki te rele Bana ak Rekab. Yo te pitit Rimon, yon nonm nan branch fanmi Benjamen an ki te rete lavil Bewòt. Yo te toujou mete nan tèt yo lavil Bewòt se pou branch fanmi Benjamen an li ye,
3 and the Beerothites flee to Gittaim, and are sojourners there to this day.
depi lè moun Bewòt yo te kouri kite lavil la pou y' al lavil Gitayim, kote y'ap viv jouk koulye a.
4 And to Jonathan son of Saul [is] a son—lame; he was a son of five years at the coming in of the rumor of [the death of] Saul and Jonathan, out of Jezreel, and his nurse lifts him up, and flees, and it comes to pass in her hastening to flee, that he falls, and becomes lame, and his name [is] Mephibosheth.
Jonatan, pitit Sayil la, te gen yon pitit gason yo te rele Mefibochèt. Li te enfim nan tou de pye l' yo. Li te gen senkan lè Sayil ak Jonatan mouri. Lè nouvèl lanmò yo rive soti lavil Jizreyèl, nouris la pran Mefibochèt, li kouri al kache avè l'. Men, pandan l'ap prese kouri a, pitit la sot tonbe nan men l'. Se konsa li vin enfim nan pye.
5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, go, and come in at the heat of the day to the house of Ish-Bosheth, and he is lying down—the lying down of noon;
Rekab ak Bana, pitit gason Rimon, moun lavil Bewòt la, pati pou lakay Ichbochèt. Yo rive vè midi. Lè sa a, Ichbochèt t'ap fè yon ti dòmi pou poze kò l'.
6 and they have come there, to the midst of the house, taking wheat, and they strike him to the fifth [rib], and Rechab and his brother Baanah have escaped;
Fanm ki t'ap veye bò pòt la t'ap triye ble, men li te kite dòmi pran l'. Se konsa mesye yo fofile kò yo antre nan kay la.
7 indeed, they come into the house, and he is lying on his bed, in the inner part of his bed-chamber, and they strike him, and put him to death, and turn his head aside, and they take his head, and go the way of the plain all the night,
Lè yo rive anndan, y' al nan pyès chanm kote Ichbochèt te kouche ap dòmi an, yo touye l'. Lèfini, yo koupe tèt li, yo pran l', yo pati avè l'. Yo pase nwit lan ap mache nan fon Jouden an.
8 and bring in the head of Ish-Bosheth to David in Hebron, and say to the king, “Behold, the head of Ish-Bosheth, son of Saul, your enemy, who sought your life; and YHWH gives vengeance to my lord the king this day, of Saul and of his seed.”
Yo pote tèt Ichbochèt bay David lavil Ebwon. Yo di l' konsa: -Men tèt Ichbochèt, pitit Sayil la, moun ki pa t' vle wè ou la, moun ki t'ap chache touye ou la. Jòdi a Seyè a bay monwa chans pou li tire revanj sou Sayil ansanm ak sou rès fanmi li.
9 And David answers Rechab and his brother Baanah, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and says to them, “YHWH lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
David reponn yo: -Mwen fè sèman devan Seyè a ki delivre m' nan tout malè,
10 when one is declaring to me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, and he was as a bearer of tidings in his own eyes, then I take hold on him, and slay him in Ziklag, instead of my giving to him [for] the tidings.
lè moun ki te vin fè m' konnen Sayil te mouri a te kwè se yon bon nouvèl li t'ap pote ban mwen, mwen pran l', mwen fè touye l' lavil Ziklag. Men rekonpans mwen te ba li pou bon nouvèl sa a.
11 Also—when wicked men have slain the righteous man in his own house, on his bed; and now, do I not require his blood from your hand, and have taken you away from the earth?”
Sa pral pi rèd toujou pou nou, bann mechan, ki touye yon inonsan anndan lakay li, nan kabann li. Mwen pral fè nou peye pou touye nou touye l' la, mwen pral fè yo disparèt nou sou latè.
12 And David commands the young men, and they slay them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hang [them] over the pool in Hebron, and they have taken the head of Ish-Bosheth, and bury [it] in the burying-place of Abner in Hebron.
David bay sòlda yo lòd epi yo touye Rekab ak Bana. Yo koupe de men ak de pye yo. Y' al pann yo bò rezèvwa dlo Ebwon an. Apre sa, yo pran tèt Ichbochèt, y' al antere l' Ebwon, nan tonm Abnè a.
