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).
Nígbà tí ọmọ Saulu sì gbọ́ pé, Abneri kú ní Hebroni, ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sì rọ, gbogbo Israẹli sì rẹ̀wẹ̀sì.
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.
Ọmọ Saulu sì ní ọkùnrin méjì tí í ṣe olórí ẹgbẹ́ ogun: a ń pe orúkọ ọ̀kan ní Baanah, àti orúkọ èkejì ní Rekabu, àwọn ọmọ Rimoni ará Beeroti ti àwọn ọmọ Benjamini (nítorí pé a sì ka Beeroti pẹ̀lú Benjamini).
3 But the people of Beeroth had fled to Gittaim [town], and they still live there.
Àwọn ará Beeroti sì ti sálọ sí Gittaimu, wọ́n sì ṣe àtìpó níbẹ̀ títí ó fi di ọjọ́ òní yìí.
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.
(Jonatani ọmọ Saulu sì ti bí ọmọkùnrin kan tí ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ rọ, òun sì jẹ́ ọdún márùn-ún, nígbà tí ìròyìn dé ní ti Saulu àti Jonatani láti Jesreeli wá, olùtọ́ rẹ̀ sì gbé e, o sì sálọ, ó sì ṣe, bí ó sì ti ń yára láti sálọ, òun sì ṣubú, ó sì ya arọ. Orúkọ rẹ̀ a máa jẹ́ Mefiboṣeti.)
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.
Àwọn ọmọ Rimoni, ará Beeroti, Rekabu àti Baanah sì lọ wọ́n sì wá síh ilé Iṣboṣeti ní ọ̀sán gangan, òun sì sinmi lórí ibùsùn kan ní ọjọ́-kanrí.
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.
Sì wò ó, bí olùṣọ́ ẹnu-ọ̀nà ilé náà ti ń gbọn àwọn pàǹtí, ó tòògbé ó sì sùn lọ, wọ́n sì wá sí àárín ilé náà, wọ́n sì ṣe bí ẹni pé wọ́n ń fẹ́ mú alikama; wọ́n sì gún un lábẹ́ inú. Rekabu àti Baanah arákùnrin rẹ̀ sì sálọ.
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.
Nígbà tí wọ́n wọ ilé náà lọ, òun sì dùbúlẹ̀ lórí ibùsùn rẹ̀ nínú iyàrá rẹ̀, wọ́n sì pa á, wọ́n sì bẹ́ ẹ lórí, wọ́n gbé orí sálọ, wọ́n sì fi gbogbo òru rìn ni pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ náà.
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!”
Wọ́n sì gbé orí Iṣboṣeti tọ Dafidi wá ní Hebroni, wọ́n sì wí fún ọba pé, “Wò ó, orí Iṣboṣeti ọmọ Saulu ọ̀tá rẹ, tí ó ti ń wá ẹ̀mí rẹ kiri, Olúwa ti gbẹ̀san fún ọba olúwa mi lónìí lára Saulu àti lára irú-ọmọ rẹ̀.”
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.
Dafidi sì dá Rekabu àti Baanah arákùnrin rẹ̀, àwọn ọmọ Rimoni ará Beeroti lóhùn, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Bí Olúwa ti ń bẹ, ẹni tí ó gba ẹ̀mí mi lọ́wọ́ gbogbo ìpọ́njú.
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!
Nígbà tí ẹnìkan rò fún mi pé, ‘Wò ó, Saulu ti kú,’ lójú ara rẹ̀ òun sì jásí ẹni tí ó mú ìyìnrere wá, èmi sì mú un, mo sì pa á ní Siklagi, ẹni tí ó ṣe bí òun ó rí nǹkan gbà nítorí ìròyìn rere rẹ̀.
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!”
Mélòó mélòó ni, nígbà tí àwọn ìkà ènìyàn pa olódodo ènìyàn kan ni ilé rẹ̀ lórí ibùsùn rẹ̀—ǹjẹ́ èmi ha sì lè ṣe aláìbéèrè ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ yín bí? Kí èmi sì mú yín kúrò láààyè.”
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.
Dafidi sì fi àṣẹ fún àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin rẹ̀, wọ́n sì pa wọ́n, wọ́n sì gé ọwọ́ àti ẹsẹ̀ wọn, a sì fi wọ́n há lórí igi ní Hebroni. Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n mú orí Iṣboṣeti, wọ́n sì sin ín ní ibojì Abneri ní Hebroni.
