2 Samuel 4
1 And when Saul's son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands were feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.
Mgbe Ishboshet nwa Sọl nụrụ na Abna anwụọla na Hebrọn. Ọ tụrụ egwu. Ndị Izrel tụkwara egwu hie nne.
2 And Saul's son had two men [that were] captains of bands: the name of the one [was] Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon a Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin: (For Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin:
Nʼoge a, nwa Sọl nwere mmadụ abụọ ndị bụ ndịisi ndị na-aga apụnara ndị mmadụ ihe. Aha otu onye bụ Baana, aha onye nke ọzọ bụ Rekab. Ha abụọ bụ ụmụ Rimọn onye Beerọt, nke dị nʼebo Benjamin. A na-agụ ndị Beerọt dịka ndị Benjamin,
3 And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have been sojourners there until this day.)
nʼihi na ndị Beerọt gbara ọsọ agha gbalaa Gitaim, obodo ndị Benjamin. Ha bikwa nʼebe ahụ ruo taa dịka ndị ọbịa.
4 And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son [that was] lame of [his] feet: he was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name [was] Mephibosheth.
(Jonatan nwa Sọl nwere otu nwa nwoke dara ngwụrọ nʼụkwụ ya abụọ. Ọ gbara afọ ise mgbe akụkọ banyere Sọl na Jonatan si Jezril bịarute ha. Nwanyị na-eku ya kuuru ya bido ịgbapụ ọsọ, ma dịka ọ na-agba ọsọ, nwantakịrị nwoke ahụ dara nʼala ghọọ onye ngwụrọ. Aha ya bụ Mefiboshet.)
5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth, who lay on a bed at noon.
Nʼoge a, Rekab na Baana ụmụ Rimọn, onye Beerọt bịaruru nʼụlọ Ishboshet nʼoge ehihie, mgbe ọ nọ na-ezu ike.
6 And they came thither into the midst of the house, [as though] they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him under the fifth [rib]: and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
Ha banyere nʼime ime ụlọ, dịka a ga-asị na ha na-aga iburu ọka wiiti. Mgbe ha banyere nʼebe ahụ, ha mara Ishboshet mma nʼafọ. Emesịa, Rekab na nwanne ya Baana si nʼụlọ ahụ zopu onwe ha.
7 For when they came into the house, he lay on his bed in his bed-chamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and went away through the plain all night.
Ha abatala nʼụlọ mgbe Ishboshet dinara nʼelu ihe ndina ya, nʼime ụlọ ndina ya. Mgbe ha machara ya mma, gbuo ya, ha bipụrụ ya isi. Buru isi ya gbalaga. Jee ije abalị ahụ niile gafee ọzara.
8 And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth to David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul thy enemy, who sought thy life; and the LORD hath avenged my lord the king this day of Saul and of his seed.
Ha buuru isi Ishboshet butere Devid na Hebrọn, sị eze, “Taa ka Onyenwe anyị bọọrọ onyenwe m eze ọbọ megide Sọl na mkpụrụ ya. Nke a bụ isi Ishboshet, nwa onye iro gị Sọl, onye chọsịrị ike iwepụ ndụ gị.”
9 And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, [As] the LORD liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
Ma Devid zara Rekab na Baana ụmụ Rimọn onye Beerọt okwu sị ha, “Dịka Onyenwe anyị si adị ndụ, onye napụtara m site na nsogbu m niile,
10 When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, (thinking to have brought good tidings, ) I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, who [thought] that I would have given him a reward for his tidings:
mgbe otu onye bịakwutere m gwa m na Sọl anwụọla, na-eche nʼobi ya na o wetaara m oziọma. Egburu m ya na Ziklag, si otu ahụ kwụọ ya ụgwọ oziọma ahụ o chere na ọ wetaara m.
11 How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?
Ọ bụladị karịa nke a, mgbe ndị ikom ajọ omume gburu nwoke onye aka ya dị ọcha nʼụlọ ya, nʼelu ihe ndina ya? M ga-ahapụ ịbọtara onye e gburu egbu ọbọ, si otu a kpochapụ unu nʼụwa!”
12 And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged [them] over the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth, and buried [it] in the sepulcher of Abner in Hebron.
Devid nyere ụmụ okorobịa ya iwu ka ha gbuo mmadụ abụọ ahụ. Ha gbukwara ha. Emesịa, ha bipụrụ aka ha na ụkwụ ha. Were ozu ha kwụba ya nʼakụkụ ọdọ mmiri Hebrọn. Ha wekwaara isi Ishboshet, lie ya nʼili Abna na Hebrọn.
