2 Samuel 4
1 When Saul’s son Ishbosheth heard that Abner had been killed at Hebron, [he realized that he might also be killed]. He became discouraged, and all the Israeli people (trembled/became afraid).
Alò, lè Isch-Boscheth, fis a Saül la, te tande ke Abner te mouri Hébron, li te pèdi kouraj e tout Israël te twouble.
2 Ishbosheth had two officers who were leaders of groups that raided other villages. [They were brothers; ] their names were Baanah and Rechab, sons of Rimmon from Beeroth [town] in the tribe of Benjamin. Beeroth is in the area that had [been assigned to] the tribe of Benjamin.
Fis a Saül la te gen de mesye ki te kòmandan a bann sòlda yo. Non a youn se te Baana e lòt la te Récab, fis a Rimmon Beéroth yo, ki apatyen a fis Benjamin yo (paske Beéroth te konsidere kòm yon pati nan Benjamin.
3 But the people of Beeroth had fled to Gittaim [town], and they still live there.
Tout Beyewotyen yo te sove ale pou rive Guitthaïm e te rete la kòm etranje jis rive jodi a).
4 Saul’s son Jonathan had a son named Mephibosheth. When Mephibosheth was five years old, Saul and Jonathan died in the battle. When people brought that news from Jezreel, Mephibosheth’s nursemaid picked him up and ran away. She ran very fast, with the result that she dropped him, and his legs became crippled.
Alò, Jonathan, fis a Saül la, te gen yon fis ki te kokobe nan pye li. Li te konsa akoz lè li te gen laj a senk ane lè rapò a Saül avèk Jonathan te rive soti Jizréel, fanm nouris li an te pran fis la pou te sove ale. Epi nan kouri sòti, li te tonbe e te vin kokobe. Non li se te Méphiboscheth.
5 One day, Rechab and Baanah left [their home] to go to Ishbosheth’s house. They arrived there about noontime, when Ishbosheth was taking his midday nap.
Konsa fis a Rimmon yo, Beyewotyen an, Récab, avèk Banna te pati pou te rive lakay Isch-Boscheth nan chalè lajounen an pandan li t ap pran repo midi a.
6 The woman who was the doorkeeper was sifting wheat. While doing that, she became sleepy, and fell asleep. So Rechab and his brother Baanah were able to creep in quietly.
Yo te rive nan mitan kay la kòmsi yo t ap pran ble e yo te frape li nan vant. Epi Récab avèk Banna, frè li yo te chape ale.
7 They entered Ishbosheth’s bedroom, where he was sleeping. They killed him [with their swords] and cut off his head. They carried his head and walked all night through the Jordan [River] Valley.
Alò, lè yo te vin rive anndan kay la, pandan li te kouche sou kabann li nan chanm a dòmi li an, yo te frape li e te touye li. Yo te koupe tèt li e yo te vwayaje ak li nan chemen Araba a tout nwit lan.
8 They took the head of Ishbosheth to David at Hebron. They said to him, “Here is the head of Ishbosheth, the son of your enemy Saul, who tried to kill you. Your majesty, today Yahweh has allowed you to get revenge on Saul and his descendants!”
Konsa, yo te mennen tèt a Isch-Boscheth kote David nan Hébron e yo te di a wa a: “Men gade, tèt a Isch-Boscheth, fis a Saül la, lènmi pa w la, ki te chache lavi ou a. Konsa, nan jou sa a, SENYÈ a te bay mèt mwen an, wa a, vanjans sou Saül avèk desandan li yo.”
9 But David replied to them, “Yahweh is the one who has rescued me from all my troubles. And just as surely as Yahweh lives, what I am now saying is also true.
David te reponn Récab avèk Banna, frè li, fis a Rimmon yo, Beyewotyen an, e te di yo: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, ki te peye racha lavi m soti nan tout twoub yo,
10 When a messenger came to Ziklag and told me ‘Saul is dead!’ and he thought that the news that he was bringing to me was good news, I seized him and [commanded one of my soldiers to] kill him. That was the reward I gave to him for his news!
lè yon moun te pale m e te di: ‘Gade, Saül mouri’ e te panse ke se bòn nouvèl ke li te pote, mwen te sezi li e te touye li Tsiklag, kòm rekonpans pou nouvèl la.
11 So because you two evil men murdered a man who is (innocent/has done nothing wrong) when he was sleeping on his bed in his own house, I will do something worse to you. I will surely [RHQ] get revenge on you two for murdering [MTY] him, and (wipe you/cause you to disappear) from the earth!”
Alò, konbyen anplis, lè moun mechan yo vin touye yon nonm ladwati nan pwòp kay li sou kabann li! Èske se pa ke m ta oblije mande san li nan men nou e rache nou sou fas tè a?”
12 Then, following David’s orders, his soldiers killed the two men, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hung their bodies (OR, their hands and feet) [on a pole] near the pool at Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth and buried it [respectfully] in the tomb of Abner, there at Hebron.
Alò, David te pase lòd sou jennonm yo. Yo te touye yo, yo te koupe men yo avèk pye yo, e te pann yo akote sous Hébron an. Men yo te pran tèt a Isch Boscheth e yo te antere li nan tonm Abner a nan Hébron.
