2 Samuel 4
1 Now, when Ish-bosheth son of Saul heard that Abner had died in Hebron, his hands became feeble, —and, all Israel, were dismayed.
Ke Ishbosheth, wen natul Saul, el lohng lah Abner el anwuki in acn Hebron, el arulana sangeng, ac mwet Israel nukewa elos fosrnga.
2 And two men, captains of bands, pertained to Ish-bosheth son of Saul—the name of the one, was Baanah, and, the name of the other, Rechab—sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the sons of Benjamin, —for, even Beeroth, used to be reckoned unto Benjamin;
Oasr mwet luo lal Ishbosheth su kol un mwet orek lokoalok. Inen mwet luo inge pa Baanah ac Rechab, wen natul Rimmon mwet Beeroth in sruf lal Benjamin. (Acn Beeroth oaoa nu ke ip lun Benjamin.
3 and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, —and have been sojourners there, until this day.
Mwet muta we meet ah elos tuh kaingla nu Gittaim, ac elos mutana we in pacl sac me.)
4 And, Jonathan, son of Saul, had a son, lame of his feet, —five years old, was he, when tidings came in of Saul and Jonathan from Jezreel, so his nurse took him up, and fled, and it came to pass, when she started up to flee, that he fell and was lamed, and, his name, was, Mephibosheth.
Sie pac mwet ke fita lal Saul pa Mephibosheth, wen natul Jonathan. El yac limekosr ke pacl se Saul ac Jonathan anwuki. Ke pacl se pweng ke misa laltal ah tuku Jezreel me, na mutan se ma liyalang el sraklalak ac kaing. Tuh ke sripen sulaklak lal, tulik sac putatla liki inpaol, pwanang el sukapasla.
5 So then the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, took their journey and came in, about the heat of the day, unto the house of Ish-bosheth, —when, he, was lying on his noonday couch;
Rechab ac Baanah som nu lohm sel Ishbosheth ac sun acn we ke infulwen len, falyang nu ke pacl el eis mongla infulwen len lal.
6 and, thither, entered they as fro as the middle of the house, to fetch wheat, and they smote him in the belly, —and, Rechab and Baanah his brother, escaped.
Mutan se su muta liklik wheat ke mutunoa el mwetkeli ac motulla, na Rechab ac Baanah imyak nu in lohm ah.
7 Thus they entered the house when, he, was lying on his bed, in his sleeping-chamber, and smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, —and took his head, and journeyed by way of the waste plain all the night;
Eltal som nu ke nien motul lal Ishbosheth ke el motul folosuwosla, ac unilya. Na eltal pakela sifal ac us welultal, ac eltal fahsr Infahlfal Jordan fong nufon sac.
8 and brought in the head of Ish-bosheth unto David, at Hebron, and said unto the king, Lo! the head of Ish-bosheth son of Saul, thine enemy, who sought thy life: so hath Yahweh given to my lord the king, avengement this day, on Saul and on his seed.
Eltal sang sifal nu sel Tokosra David in acn Hebron, ac fahk, “Pa inge sifal Ishbosheth wen natul Saul, mwet lokoalok lom, su tuh srike in unikomi. Misenge LEUM GOD El orala foloksak lom nu sel Saul ac fita lal.”
9 Then David responded to Rechab and Baanah his brother, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, —By the life of Yahweh, who hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,
David el topuk nu seltal, “Inge nga orala fulahk luk ke Inen LEUM GOD moul, su moliyula liki ongoiya nukewa!
10 when he that brought tidings to me, saying, Lo! Saul is dead, though, he, was as one that bringeth good tidings, in his own eyes, yet I seized him, and slew him in Ziklag, —which was how I gave him reward for his tidings:
Mwet utuk kas se su tuku nu yuruk in acn Ziklag ac fahkma lah Saul el misa, el nunku mu el us pweng wo se. Tuh nga sruokilya ac sap in anwuki el. Pa ingan ma nga sang moli pweng se el us ah!
11 how much more, when, lawless men, have slain a righteous person, in his own house, upon his bed? …Now, therefore, must I not require his blood at your hands, and so consume you, out of the earth?
A faska ma ac fah sikyak nu sin mwet koluk inge su uniya sie mwet wangin mwatal ke el motul in lohm sel sifacna! Inge nga fah foloksak nu sumtal ke komtal unilya ah, ac nga ac ikomtalla liki faclu.”
12 David therefore commanded the young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands, and their feet, and hanged them up over the pool, in Hebron, —but, the head of Ish-bosheth, took they, and buried in the grave of Abner, in Hebron.
David el sap mwet lal in unilya Rechab ac Baanah, ac lusala paoltal ac nialtal, ac srupusrak apkuran nu ke lufin kof in acn Hebron. Elos usla sifal Ishbosheth ac pikinya inkulyuk lal Abner in acn Hebron.
