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.
Awo Isubosesi mutabani wa Sawulo bwe yawulira Abuneeri ng’afiiridde e Kebbulooni, n’aggwaamu essuubi, ne Isirayiri yenna ne beeraliikirira.
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,
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 and the Beerothites flee to Gittaim, and are sojourners there to this day.
engeri abantu ab’e Beerosi bwe baddukira e Gittayimu, ne babeera eyo na guno gujwa.
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.
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 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;
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 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;
Ne bagenda mu kisenge eky’omunda ne baba ng’abajja okukima eŋŋaano, ne bamufumita mu lubuto, ne badduka.
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,
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 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.”
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 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,
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 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.
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 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?”
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 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.
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.
