< 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.
Ie jinanji’ i ana’ i Saole e Kebroney te nivilasy t’i Abnere, le nigebañe ty fità’e vaho ninevenevetse iaby o ana’ Israeleo.
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,
Ondaty roe ty nimpifehem-pirimboñañe amy ana’ i Saoley; ty raike natao Baanà, naho ty tahina’ ty raike: Rekabe, sambe ana’ i Rimone nte Beerote, ana’ i Beniamine; amy te nivolilieñe amy Beniamine t’i Beerote;
3 and the Beerothites flee to Gittaim, and are sojourners there to this day.
aa le nibioñe mb’e Gitaime mb’eo o nte-Beeroteo, vaho nañialo ho renetane añe pake henaneo.
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.
Nanañ’ anadahy kepek’ am-pandia t’Ionatane ana’ i Saole, ie lime taoñe te pok’eo i talily i Saole naho Ionatane e Iezreeley le rinambe’ i mpiatrak’ azey naho nandrifitse ty lay; aa ie nitaentaeñe hipitsike le nidorasitse nahakepeke i natao Mefibosètey.
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;
Niheo mb’eo i ana’ i Rimone nte-Beerote rey, i Rekabe naho i Baanà, le nivotrak’ añ’ anjomba’ Isbo­sete an-tsingilingilien’ andro, ie nandre am-pandreañe ao.
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;
Nimoak’ am-po i anjom­bay iereo nanao ho mpampibalike vare-bolè, le tinombo’ iareo ambane’ ty pa’e faha-lime ao; vaho nivoratsake t’i Rekabe naho i Baanà rahalahi’ey.
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,
Ie nimoak’ añ’ anjomba ao iereo, ie nandre am-pandrea’e an-trañom-pandrea’e ao, le tinombo’ iareo, vinono, naho kinitsi’ iereo ty añambone’e vaho nikatsakatsak’ amy haleñey niranga i montoñey.
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.”
Nendese’ iereo mb’amy Davide e Kebrone mb’eo ty añambone’ Isbosete le nanao ty hoe amy mpanjakay, Ingo ty añambone’ Isbosete ana’ i Saole rafelahi’oy, i nipay ty fiai’oy, fa nondroha’ Iehovà ty kabò’ i talèko mpanjakay amy Saole naho amy tiri’ey anindroany.
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,
Aa hoe ty natoi’ i Davide amy Rakabe naho i Baanà rahalahi’e, ana’ i Rimone nte-Beerote: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà nijebañe ty fiaiko amy ze atao rafelahy iaby,
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.
naho nitalily amako ty nanao ty hoe: Inao, vilasy t’i Saole. Ie natao’e te nanday talily soa. Fe rinambeko vaho zinevoko e Tsiklage ao ho tambe’ i talili’ey.
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?”
Tsy antsake hao ondaty lo-tsereke namono indaty marentane añ’anjomba’e am-pandrea’ey? Tsy hampañavahako am-pità’ areo hao ty lio’e hanintak’ anahareo an-tane atoy?
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.
Aa le linili’ i Davide o gaon-dahi’eo, le vinono’ iereo naho kinitsike o fitañe naho fandia’ iareoo naho naradorado ambone’ i antara’ i Kebroney. Nitakone’ iereo ty añambone’ Isbosete vaho nalenteke an-kibori’ i Abnere e Kebrone ao.
