2 Samuel 4
1 Forsothe Isbosech, the sone of Saul, herde that Abner hadde falde doun in Ebron; and `hise hondis weren discoumfortid, and al Israel was disturblid.
撒烏耳的兒子依市巴耳，一聽見阿貝乃爾死在赫貝龍，就慌了手腳，全以色列大驚。
2 Forsothe twei men, princes of theues, weren to the sone of Saul; name to oon was Baana, and name to the tother was Rechab, the sones of Remmon Berothite, of the sones of Beniamyn; for also Beroth is arettid in Beniamyn.
撒烏耳的兒子依市巴耳有兩個土匪頭目：一個名叫巴阿納，一個名叫勒加布，是本雅明子孫貝洛特人黎孟的兒子，──貝洛特被認為是本雅明族，
3 And men of Beroth fledden in to Gethaym; and thei weren comelyngis there `til to that tyme.
因為貝洛特人逃到了基塔殷，僑居在那裏，直到今日。
4 Forsothe a sone feble in feet was to Jonathas, the sone of Saul; forsothe he was fyue yeer eld, whanne the messanger cam fro Saul and Jonathas, fro Jezrael. Therfor his nurse took hym, and fledde; and whanne sche hastide to fle, sche felde doun, and the child was maad lame; and `he hadde a name Myphibosech.
撒烏耳的兒子約納堂有個兒子雙足跛了，當撒烏耳與約納堂的凶信由依次勒耳傳來時，他只有五歲，他的乳母帶他逃跑，在慌張逃跑中，他跌瘸了腿；他名叫默黎巴耳。
5 Therfor Rechab and Baana, sones of Remmon of Beroth, camen, and entriden in the hoot dai in to the hows of Isbosech, that slepte on his bed in myd dai, `and the womman oischer of the hous clensynge wheete, slepte strongli.
貝洛特人黎孟的兒子勒加布和巴阿納出去，正當中午炎熱的時候，到了依市巴耳家裏，他正在床上睡午覺。
6 Forsothe thei entriden into the hows pryueli, and token eeris of whete; and Rechab, and Baana, his brother, smytiden Isbosech in the schar, and fledden.
看門的女僕在篩麥子，也打盹睡著了。此時勒加布和他兄弟巴阿納溜進去，
7 Sotheli whanne thei hadden entrid in to the hous, he slepte on his bedde in a closet; and thei smytiden and killiden hym; and whanne `his heed was takun, thei yeden bi the weie of deseert in al the nyyt.
到了屋內，見依市巴耳正睡在臥室的床上，便將他打死，砍下他的頭，帶著頭，在阿辣巴的大路上走了一夜。
8 And thei brouyten the heed of Isbosech to Dauid, in Ebron, and thei seiden to the kyng, Lo! the heed of Isbosech, sone of Saul, thin enemy, that souyte thi lijf; and the Lord yaf to dai to oure lord the kyng veniaunce of Saul and of his seed.
他們帶著依市巴耳的頭，到了赫貝龍見達味王說：「大王的仇人撒烏耳常謀害你的性命；看，他兒子依市巴耳的頭；上主今天為我主向撒烏耳和他的後代報了仇。」
9 Forsothe Dauid answeride to Rechab, and Baana, his brother, the sones of Remmon of Beroth, and seide to hem, The Lord lyueth, that delyueride my lijf fro al angwisch;
但是，達味答覆貝洛特人黎孟的兒子勒加布和他兄弟巴阿納說：「我指著那救我脫離了一切患難的永生上主起誓：
10 for Y helde hym that telde to me, and seide, Saul is deed, which man gesside hym silf to telle prosperitees, and Y killide hym in Sichelech, to whom it bihofte me yyue meede for message;
那告訴我說：撒烏耳死了的，自以為是報喜信，我卻拿住他，在漆刻拉格殺了，作為他報信的賞報；
11 hou myche more now, whanne wickid men han slayn a giltles man in his hows on his bed, schal I not seke his blood of youre hond, and schal Y do awey you fro erthe?
那麼，現在這些匪徒，偷進人屋，殺了睡在床上的義人，我豈不更該從你們手中追討他的血債，將你們由地上剷除﹖」
12 Therfor Dauid comaundide to his children, and thei killiden hem; and thei kittiden awei the hondis and `feet of hem, and hangiden hem ouer the cisterne in Ebron. Forsothe thei token the heed of Isbosech, and birieden in the sepulcre of Abner, in Ebron.
達味遂命自己的僮僕，殺了他們，砍去他們的手足，掛在赫貝龍的池旁；至於依市巴耳的頭，叫人拿去葬在赫貝龍，阿貝乃爾的墳墓內。
