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.
Ary nony ren’ ny zanakalahin’ i Saoly fa maty tany Hebrona Abnera, dia niraviravy tanana izy, ary raiki-tahotra ny Isiraely rehetra.
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;
Ary nisy roa lahy, lehiben’ ny mpitohan’ ny zanakalahin’ i Saoly, Bana no anaran’ ny iray, ary Rekaba no anaran’ ny iray, samy zanak’ i Rimona Berotita tamin’ ny taranak’ i Benjamina (fa Berota koa natao ho isan’ ny an’ i Benjamina;
3 and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, —and have been sojourners there, until this day.
ary ny Berotita nandositra nankany Gitaima, dia nivahiny tany mandraka androany).
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.
Ary Jonatana, zanak’ i Saoly, nanan-janakalahy malemy tongotra. Dimy taona izy, fony tonga avy tany Jezirela ny filazana ny amin’ i Saoly sy Jonatana; ary nentin’ ny mpitaiza azy nandositra izy; ary raha nentiny nandositra tamin’ ny fahatairana izy, dia nianjera ka tonga malemy tongotra, Mefiboseta no anarany.
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;
Ary Rekaba sy Bana, zanak’ i Rimona Berotita, nandeha; ka rehefa nafana ny andro, dia tonga tao an-tranon’ Isboseta, tamin’ ilay izy nandriandry tamin’ ny antoandro iny.
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.
Ary niditra tao anaty trano Rekaba sy Bana rahalahiny haka vary, ka namely azy tamin’ ny kibony, dia lasa nandositra.
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;
Fa raha niditra tao an-trano izy roa lahy, ary Isboseta nandry teo amin’ ny fandriany tao amin’ ny trano fandriany dia namely azy izy roa lahy ka nahafaty azy, dia notapahiny ny lohany ka nentiny; ary nandeha mandritra ny alina namaky ny tani-hay izy.
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.
Ary nitondra ny lohan’ Isboseta tany amin’ i Davida tao Hebrona izy ka nanao tamin’ ny mpanjaka hoe: Indro ny lohan’ Isboseta, zanak’ i Saoly fahavalonao, izay nitady ny ainao; fa Jehovah efa namaly an’ i Saoly sy ny taranany androany noho ny amin’ ny mpanjaka tompoko.
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,
Ary hoy Davida tamin’ i Rekaba sy Bana rahalahiny, zanak’ i Rimona Berotita: Raha velona koa Jehovah, Izay namonjy ahy tamin’ ny fahoriana rehetra,
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:
ilay nanambara tamiko hoe: Indro, maty Saoly, ka nanao ny tenany ho mpitondra teny mahafaly, dia nohazoniko ka novonoiko tao Ziklaga, hanomezako azy ny valin’ ny teny mahafaly nentiny;
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?
koa mainka raha misy olon-dratsy mamono lehilahy marina ao an-tranony eo am-pandriany; koa tsy hadiniko eo an-tananareo va ny ràny, ary tsy hofongorako tsy ho amin’ ny tany intsony va ianareo
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.
Ary Davida nandidy ny zatovony, dia namono azy ireo, ka notapahiny ny tanany sy ny tongony, dia nahantony teo anilan’ ny kamory tao Hebrona. Fa ny lohan’ Isboseta kosa dia nentina ka nalevina tao am-pasan’ i Abnera tao Hebrona.
