2 Samuel 4
1 And he heard [the] son of Saul that he had died Abner in Hebron and they dropped hands his and all Israel they were terrified.
Quand le fils de Saül eut appris qu’Abner était mort à Hébron, les bras lui tombèrent; tout Israël aussi fut consterné.
2 And two men commanders of marauding bands they were [the] son of Saul [the] name of the one [was] Baanah and [the] name of the second [was] Rechab [the] sons of Rimmon the Beerothite from [the] descendants of Benjamin for also Beeroth it is reckoned to Benjamin.
Parmi les chefs de bande du fils de Saül se trouvaient deux hommes ayant nom l’un Baana, l’autre Rêkhab, deux Benjamites, fils de Rimmon le Beérotite; car Beérot aussi était attribué à Benjamin.
3 And they fled the Beerothites Gittaim towards and they have been there sojourners until the day this.
Les Beérotites s’étaient réfugiés à Ghittayim, où ils ont résidé jusqu’à ce jour.
4 And [belonged] to Jonathan [the] son of Saul a son stricken of feet a son of five years he was when came [the] report of Saul and Jonathan from Jezreel and she lifted him nurse his and she fled and it was when hurried she to flee and he fell and he became lame and name his [was] Mephibosheth.
(Jonathan, fils de Saül, avait laissé un fils boiteux; ce dernier avait cinq ans lorsqu’arriva, de Jezreël, la nouvelle relative à Saül et à Jonathan; sa nourrice l’emporta en fuyant, le laissa tomber dans sa précipitation, et il devint boiteux; il se nommait Mephiboseth.)
5 And they went [the] sons of Rimmon the Beerothite Rechab and Baanah and they came when [the] heat of the day to [the] house of Ish-bosheth and he [was] lying [the] lying of noon.
Or, les fils de Rimmon le Beérotite, Rêkhab et Baana, s’acheminèrent vers la demeure d’Isboseth, où ils arrivèrent au plus chaud de la journée; il était couché, goûtant le repos de midi.
6 And they [fem] they came to [the] middle of the house taking wheat and they struck him to the belly and Rechab and Baanah brother his they escaped.
Rêkhab et son frère Baana pénétrèrent jusque dans l’intérieur de la maison en acheteurs de froment, le frappèrent dans l’aine et se sauvèrent.
7 And they came the house and he [was] lying on bed his in [the] chamber of lying down his and they struck him and they killed him and they removed head his and they took head his and they went [the] way of the Arabah all the night.
Ils y étaient entrés comme il reposait sur son lit, dans sa chambre à coucher, l’avaient frappé à mort et lui avaient coupé la tête. Munis de cette tête, ils s’en allèrent par la plaine et marchèrent toute la nuit.
8 And they brought [the] head of Ish-bosheth to David Hebron and they said to the king here! [the] head of Ish-bosheth [the] son of Saul enemy your who he sought life your and he has given Yahweh to lord my the king vengeance the day this from Saul and from offspring his.
Ils apportèrent à David, à Hébron, la tête d’lsboseth, et dirent au roi: "Voici la tête d’Isboseth, fils de Saül, ton ennemi, qui en voulait à ta vie. Dieu a vengé en ce jour mon seigneur le roi de Saül et de sa postérité."
9 And he answered David Rechab - and Baanah brother his [the] sons of Rimmon the Beerothite and he said to them [by] [the] life of Yahweh who he has ransomed life my from every trouble.
David répondit à Rêkhab et à Baana, son frère, fils de Rimmon le Beérotite, en ces termes: "Par le Dieu vivant, qui a sauvé ma personne de tous les dangers!
10 If the [one who] told to me saying here! he has died Saul and he he was like a bearer of news in own eyes his and I took hold! on him and I killed him in Ziklag that to give I to him good news.
celui qui m’annonça que Saül était mort, se croyant porteur d’une bonne nouvelle, je le fis saisir et tuer à Ciklag, le payant ainsi de sa bonne nouvelle;
11 Indeed? if men wicked they have killed a man righteous in own house his on own bed his and therefore ¿ not will I require blood his from hand your and I will remove you from the earth.
combien plus, quand des méchants ont fait périr un homme de bien dans sa maison, sur sa couche! Et maintenant, certes, je vous demanderai compte de son sang et vous ferai disparaître du pays."
12 And he commanded David the young men and they killed them and they cut off hands their and feet their and they hanged [them] at the pool in Hebron and [the] head of Ish-bosheth they took and they buried [it] in [the] tomb of Abner at Hebron.
Sur l’ordre de David, les serviteurs les mirent à mort, leur coupèrent les mains et les pieds et les pendirent près de l’étang de Hébron; quant à la tête d’Isboseth, ils la prirent pour la déposer dans le sépulcre d’Abner, à Hébron.
