2 Samuel 4
1 When Saul’s son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.
Kane Ish-Bosheth wuod Saulo owinjo ni Abner nosetho Hebron, chunye noa, kendo Israel duto luoro nomako.
2 Saul’s son had two men who were captains of raiding bands. The name of one was Baanah and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin (for Beeroth also is considered a part of Benjamin;
Koro wuod Saulo ne ni kod ji ariyo mane otelo ni jolweny mane dhi peyo. Achiel kuomgi ne nyinge Baana to machielo ne iluongo ni Rekab; ne gin yawuot Rimon ja-Beeroth, moa dhood Benjamin nikech Beeroth ne ikwano kaka achiel kuom jo-Benjamin,
3 and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have lived as foreigners there until today).
nikech jo-Beeroth noringo modhi Gitaim mi gibedo kuno kaka jodak nyaka chil kawuono.
4 Now Jonathan, Saul’s son, had a son who was lame in his feet. He was five years old when the news came about Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel; and his nurse picked him up and fled. As she hurried to flee, he fell and became lame. His name was Mephibosheth.
Jonathan wuod Saulo ne nigi wuowi mane tiendene ariyo duto ongʼol. Ne en ja-higni abich kane wach Saulo gi Jonathan obiro koa Jezreel. Japite ne okawe mi oringo, kane orikni mondo owuogi nyathi nogore piny mobet rangʼol. Nyinge ne en Mefibosheth.
5 The sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went out and came at about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth as he took his rest at noon.
Koro Rekab gi Baana, yawuot Rimon ja-Beeroth, ne owuok mondo odhi e od Ish-Boseth, negichopo odiechiengʼ tir sa ma piny liet, noyudo ka oyweyo.
6 They came there into the middle of the house as though they would have fetched wheat, and they struck him in the body; and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
Negidonjo e ot maiye ka gima gidwaro kawo ngʼatno kendo, negichwowo bund iye. Eka Rekab gi owadgi ma Baana nopusore modhi.
7 Now when they came into the house as he lay on his bed in his bedroom, they struck him, killed him, beheaded him, and took his head, and went by the way of the Arabah all night.
Negidonjo e ot kane oyudo onindo e kitandane e ode kor nindo. Bangʼ kane gisechwowe ma ginege, negingʼado wiye oko. Negikawo wiye ma gidhigo kendo negiwuotho otieno duto ka giluwo yor Araba.
8 They brought the head of Ishbosheth to David to Hebron, and said to the king, “Behold, the head of Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, your enemy, who sought your life! Yahweh has avenged my lord the king today of Saul and of his offspring.”
Negikelo wi Ish-Boseth ni Daudi e piny Hebron mi giwachone ruoth niya, “Ma en wi Ish-Boseth wuod Saulo ma jasiki, mane dwaro negi. Odiechiengni Jehova Nyasaye osechako chulo kuor ni Saulo gi kothe ne ruodha ma en ruoth.”
9 David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, “As Yahweh lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
Daudi nodwoko Rekab gi owadgi ma Baana yawuot Rimon ja-Beeroth niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima, moseresa e masiche duto,
10 when someone told me, ‘Behold, Saul is dead,’ thinking that he brought good news, I seized him and killed him in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news.
kane ngʼato owachona ni, ‘Saulo otho,’ noparo ni okelona wach maber. Ne amake mine onege Ziklag. Mano e mich manamiye kuom kelona wach.
11 How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house on his bed, should I not now require his blood from your hand, and rid the earth of you?”
To koro nachiw kum malit machalo nadi ka joricho osenego ngʼat maonge ketho e ode owuon kendo e kitandane owuon? Donge owinjore mondo achulni kuor kuom remo ma usechwero, mondo ua e piny!”
12 David commanded his young men, and they killed them, cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth and buried it in Abner’s grave in Hebron.
Omiyo nochiwo chik ni joge, mine ginegogi. Negingʼado lwetgi gi tiendgi mine giliero ringregi e dho yawo man Hebron. Negikawo wi Ish-Boseth ma giyiko e liend Abner e Hebron.
